The power of the light crystal is completely restrained.
But any being of time can sense the terrifying aura it contains.
Compared to the dark crystal formed by the Black Demon body, the light crystal is much more terrifying.
"Teacher…"
The thirteen Eternal Lords had complex thoughts.
The complexity of their thoughts came from two aspects.
Firstly, the Lord of Heaven Light had shown them favor before.
Secondly, even a powerful figure like the Lord of Heaven Light, at the level of a Lord, in pursuit of ultimate transcendence, to evolve into a Perfect Time Being, ended up with a destroyed spirit and will.
As First Realm time beings, could they still see hope?
"The disaster of magic is over."
Lin Yuan put away the light crystal and said, looking at the Eternal Lords.
In fact, as long as one can completely master the lordship of the Lord of Heaven Light.
One could easily reclaim the Black Demon body and the Light body.
This was the last safeguard left by the Lord of Heaven Light for his two true bodies.
"Yes, the disaster of magic is over."
The Master of Infinite murmured, simultaneously glancing at the distant Fang Yuan World.
Since the great changes in heaven and earth many eons ago.
The thirteen Eternal Lords were forced to leave their homeland world, until now.
"Congratulations, Galaxy, for becoming the new Eternal Lord."
The Master of Wushan spoke in congratulations.
As soon as these words were spoken.
The remaining twelve Eternal Lords also reacted.
Immediately, they spoke their congratulations one after another.
Although the Fang Yuan World lost the Time Lord, the Lord of Heaven Light.
It gained Lin Yuan, a time being with even more incredible potential.
Lin Yuan smiled and responded to each in turn.
"Galaxy, how strong are you now?"
The Master of Infinite looked at Lin Yuan, his expression inevitably curious.
Lin Yuan, having stepped into the thirteenth level, successively dealt with the Black Demon body and Light body of the Lord of Heaven Light.
He didn't show much strength, mainly relying on the safeguards left by the Lord of Heaven Light, forcibly suppressing with the lordship.
Thus, the Eternal Lords were somewhat curious about Lin Yuan's strength, though they had their theories in mind, they couldn't quite believe them.
As for observing the future timeline?
Before Lin Yuan stepped into the thirteenth level, with the blessing of the lordship, his personal timeline had already become obscure and twisted to First Realm time beings.
Revealing little useful information.
Now, having become a time being, fully mastering the lordship, observing Lin Yuan's future timeline is nearly as difficult as observing a true Time Lord.
According to Lin Yuan's future timeline shown before he condensed the lordship.
It was vastly different from the scene just now.
The initial future seen by the Eternal Lords indeed showed Lin Yuan ending the magic disaster.
But it was nowhere near as relaxed and comfortable as it is now.
Evidently, Lin Yuan's future had greatly diverged from what the Eternal Lords had originally seen.
"My strength?"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, "Who wants to give it a try?"
"I'll go." The Master of Black Space stepped forward, looking at Lin Yuan with anticipation.
Among the thirteen Eternal Lords, the Master of Infinite was the most powerful, with the Master of Black Space being the second only to the Master of Infinite.
In fact, in terms of defensive capabilities, he wasn't weaker than the Master of Infinite.
Lin Yuan nodded: "I will use my suppressing techniques, feel it carefully."
The Master of Black Space was solemnly prepared.
The next moment.
Black and white yin-yang energy intertwined, enveloping this spacetime, the expression of the Master of Black Space changed, feeling the suppressive restraint of the black and white yin-yang energy on him.
Buzz!
The Master of Black Space's form gradually vanished, transforming into a spacetime black hole, resisting the erosion from the black and white yin-yang energy.
Yet the black and white yin-yang energy continued to condense, vaguely forming a magnificent Chaotic Tai Chi Diagram, and no matter how much the Master of Black Space resisted, the yin-yang energies still began to permeate the spacetime black hole, sweeping towards his true form.
"Can't hold it, can't hold it at all."
The Master of Black Space's mind trembled slightly, his path was best at defense, but he couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's suppression.
"If you feel something off, say it immediately, and I'll stop." Lin Yuan said with a smile, also observing the path of the Master of Black Space.
Each Eternal Lord's path was unique, to become a Time Lord, meant their path was powerful, but those time beings who hadn't yet become Time Lords, their paths may not necessarily be weaker.
"Galaxy, stop it."
The Master of Black Space immediately shouted.
Though it was some distance from harming his true form.
But to start with such overwhelming force to penetrate his layered defenses, there was no need to continue resisting.
"Just with suppressing techniques, it's already this terrifying, Galaxy, your strength might have already reached the Second Realm, right?" The Master of Infinite confirmed his hypothesis, looking at Lin Yuan with amazement.
Having just become an Eternal Lord, his combat power was akin to the Second Realm.
Once he stabilizes his realm, wouldn't he be approaching the peak of the Second Realm, nearing a Time Lord?
It's known that the strength of a newly ascended Eternal Lord isn't very strong, leaving ample room for growth.
"Second Realm?"
The Eternal Lords glanced at each other.
They were all quite far from the peak of the First Realm, let alone the Second Realm.
"Black Space, Galaxy held back, only using suppressing techniques, if it were offensive techniques, you wouldn't have the chance to call out to stop." The Master of Wushan said with a smile.
He had already received a lot of information from within the trial space, knowing that before Lin Yuan became an Eternal Lord, the Chaos Tai Chi Sword gathered with black and white yin-yang energy had an offensive power far beyond the Chaotic Tai Chi Diagram.
The Chaotic Tai Chi Diagram mainly served for suppression and restriction.
"I wouldn't even have the chance to call out to stop?" The Master of Black Space muttered to himself.
This is indeed true. In the future timeline that they observed initially, there was Lin Yuan using other means to annihilate the Demonic Qi.
Among them, the Taiji Sword, enveloped in endless yin and yang energy, shocked all the Eternal Lords.
"Even the strongest offensive means would find it difficult to obliterate the true form of Black Space in a short time."
Lin Yuan said.
"Obliterate my true form, and in a short time?"
The Master of Black Space blinked.
Although for an Eternal Lord, the fall of a true form is far from true death.
Yet, if even the strongest form can't ensure survival, it indicates a vast power gap between the two.
…
"What's your plan next for the Galaxy? Do you want to establish a force of the Eternal Sect?"
The Master of Infinite looked at Lin Yuan and asked.
"Let's talk about it later."
Lin Yuan answered.
Having just stepped into the Thirteenth Rank, he had too many things to do.
Establish a force? Not urgent for now.
"Hmm."
The Master of Infinite nodded, then continued, "I'll go back first."
Throughout the long years, he never truly returned to the Origin Source World, at most descending as an avatar, but the avatar's descent would be perceived by the Demon God and would not last long.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan looked at the other Eternal Lords, "I will leave first as well."
After speaking, Lin Yuan's figure dissipated and vanished.
…
In a certain time-space.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Floating before him were two crystals.
One was filled with dark Demonic Qi.
One was filled with infinite light.
These were precisely the forms of the Black Demon and the Light of the Lord of Heaven Light.
Lin Yuan carefully observed, looking at the Black Demon Crystal for a while, then the Light Crystal for a while.
At this moment, these two crystals had already transformed into the purest, most primal energy, easily absorbable by Lin Yuan.
There's no need to crush them with the Taiji millstone, for regardless of which crystal, the purity of their power was not far inferior to the Chaos Void Origin.
This was the legacy of a Time Lord, as Lin Yuan grasped the lord's status and inherited everything from the Lord of Heaven Light, absorbing the two crystals effortlessly.
"I can feel the immense energy within these two crystals, not at all inferior to experiencing another Chaos Void Origin Infusion."
Lin Yuan's face brimmed with a smile.
In fact, had the Black Demon form and the Light form not gone through the erosion of endless years, their internal energy drained by nearly half.
The benefits Lin Yuan would gain after refining and absorbing them would certainly exceed the Chaos Void Origin Infusion.
After all, this is the complete inheritance of a Time Lord, and the magnitude of the Chaos Void is merely equivalent to a Time Lord.
"Begin refining and absorbing."
Lin Yuan didn't hesitate much and immediately began refining the two crystals simultaneously.
Instantly, two completely different forces surged into Lin Yuan's body, melding into each particle world.
"The path taken by the Lord of Heaven Light is the Path of Light, wherever it reaches, there's infinite light." Lin Yuan felt a deeper understanding of the path of the Lord of Heaven Light at this moment.
"But having only light is too extreme, reaching a peak is easy, but achieving perfect harmony, difficult, difficult, difficult."
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.
"The Lord of Heaven Light realized this, thus possessing the Black Demon form, but in the end, the Black Demon form exists merely to compensate for the deficiency in his Path of Light, hence it was not as powerful as the Light form."
Lin Yuan's thoughts expanded.
Only having light isn't truly light.
Only with darkness can there be light.
"My path, since I embarked on cultivation, has been established, grounded in Taiyin and Taiyang, without extremes, and also without hidden dangers." Lin Yuan pondered in his heart.
This is also why he was unwilling to refine the lord's status of the Lord of Heaven Light.
From deep within, Lin Yuan believed the path he walked was superior to the path of the Lord of Heaven Light.
"I wonder if I strive for the Fourteenth Rank, will I meet the same fate as the Lord of Heaven Light, a death and downfall?"
Lin Yuan pondered secretly.
Even though his path had no flaws or hidden dangers, appearing more perfect than the Lord of Heaven Light's.
But whether he can ultimately step into the Fourteenth Rank and become a Perfect Time Being, Lin Yuan had no certainty at heart.
His future timeline only reaches the level of a Time Lord at most.
As for beyond that, striving for the Perfect Time Being? It becomes very vague, as the Fourteenth Rank is already beyond all timelines, no matter how strong a Time Being is, it cannot be observed.
"Let's see when the time comes."
Lin Yuan quickly refined the two crystals while his power rapidly enhanced.
The two crystals were not merely accumulations of pure force, but also contained the path taken by the Lord of Heaven Light.
Lin Yuan refined and absorbed, while at the same time extracting parts he needed from the path of the Lord of Heaven Light.
The path of the Lord of Heaven Light couldn't be followed directly, but it could be referenced, only in this way can one's path become ever more complete, approaching perfection.
…
Chaos Void.
A series of blurred phantoms converged.
"Myriad Laws, the Galaxy becomes a great Time Being, you are indeed very fortunate."
Each of the unique spirits looked at the Eye of Myriad Laws, their tones inevitably tinged with envy.
The connection between the Eye of Myriad Laws and the time being 'Galaxy' had long been speculated by many unique spirits since the latter took initiative to fetch the 'Magic Origin Fruit' for the Eye of Myriad Laws back then.
The time being 'Galaxy' was very averse to contact with unique spirits before stepping into the Thirteenth Rank.
He had never met any unique spirit.
Yet he took action to assist the Eye of Myriad Laws in obtaining the 'Magic Origin Fruit.'
If there weren't some connection in this, the unique spirits would not believe it.
"Indeed, very fortunate."
The Eye of Myriad Laws nodded on the surface, but indeed felt bitter inside.
If only I had known… If only I had not made that request to Lin Yuan, maintaining the favor between the two.
A favor from a time being is immensely valuable, especially for these special entities.
But because of his shortsightedness, thinking Lin Yuan might not break through the time loop, he was eager to use that favor before it went to waste.
Now it seems… the Eye of Myriad Laws regrets it deeply.
The special entities have lived through long cosmic eras, even witnessing the birth of time beings one after another.
They know that the commotion caused by Lin Yuan stepping into the Thirteenth Realm far exceeds that made by other time beings in the past.
This result means that Lin Yuan's strength and potential are stronger than other time beings.
Yet this kind of favor was used up by him like this? The Eye of Myriad Laws felt utterly helpless.
With Lin Yuan's current strength, trying to further the relationship is almost impossible now.
…
In the depths of the dim space-time, a figure sat cross-legged.
It was Lin Yuan.
After stepping into the Thirteenth Realm and enduring the Chaos Void Origin Infusion, Lin Yuan's true self had become the strongest.
As for the second source world, the true self enriched by the legacy of the Lord of Heaven Light? To reach the level of the Chaos Void true self would still require completely refining those two crystals.
"My internal universe is probably about one percent of the size of the Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan observed his internal universe; he was still at the initial stage of the Thirteenth Realm and hadn't grown to the limit.
Lin Yuan predicted that once he reached his peak, his internal universe would achieve a tenth of the Chaos Void's size.
A tenth of the Chaos Void? It's known that the Chaos Void is the pinnacle of dimensional space; even a ten-thousandth or a millionth of it is endless for beings below the Thirteenth Realm, impossible to explore fully in their lifetime.
"If I step into the Second Realm of the Thirteenth Realm, my internal universe might directly rival the Chaos Void."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Now he was just a newly ascended time being, having only entered the First Realm. Awaiting his entrance into the Second Realm, there'd be another significant enhancement.
At that time, his internal universe would thoroughly rival the Chaos Void.
This is also what Lord Mo Xu's "Infinite Void" theory describes.
It's what Lord Mo Xu has pursued throughout the ages.
Unlike Lin Yuan, once the "Infinite Void" reaches this level, it's the limit, approaching the Time Lord.
However, Lin Yuan's internal universe, even if it reaches the he size comparable to the Chaos Void, hasn't reached the ultimate goal; it can still continue to ascend.
With the fusion of two source world's essential operations, Lin Yuan's internal universe possesses an aura of perfection, its potential so vast, it may approach the possibility of a truly perfect world.
"I'm almost familiar with the Thirteenth Realm time being's methods."
Lin Yuan stood up, his gaze profound.
The Thirteenth Realm time beings have more than just the means to observe future timelines.
The essence of life at this level is high enough to revive life that once existed within dimensional spaces.
"Revive."
Lin Yuan didn't hesitate, starting to resurrect beings that had causal connections with him but had died or were as good as dead.
In an instant.
As far as Lin Yuan's sight reached, a new secret realm was opened up.
Within the secret realm, a world was faintly forming, and the beings within quickly transformed from illusion to reality.
Lin Yuan's first goal for resurrection was the time loop world he had experienced.
Time loop worlds were temporarily established by the Supreme Rule Dao, essentially indistinguishable from real life, with each person within having their own thoughts.
These belonged to lives that truly existed and could be revived by Lin Yuan.
Soon.
Accompanied by the beings of the world becoming entirely real.
The time that had stopped when Lin Yuan passed his test began to flow once again.
Unlike the time loop world Lin Yuan experienced, the resurrected beings of the time loop world no longer faced constraints of the Dao, allowing them to take more extraordinary paths.
"You are essentially creations by the Supreme Rule Dao, and I hope you can forge your own paths."
Lin Yuan gazed at the time loop world merged within the Chaos Void, thinking to himself silently.
Reviving the beings within the time loop world was because Lin Yuan couldn't let them vanish just because he passed the test.
Even if those beings were also creations due to Lin Yuan's trial.
Born because of Lin Yuan and perished because of Lin Yuan.
It sounded quite logical.
But since he became a time being, he naturally acted according to his heart.
If Lin Yuan thought it was unreasonable, then it was unreasonable.
…
After the beings of the time loop world were completely revived, not a single Entering Dao Master noticed anything unusual; they continued whatever they were doing as before.
Compared to Lin Yuan's current life level, the beings in the time loop world were too weak.
"Cang Weiyang?"
Following a causal line, Lin Yuan looked towards the first pinnacle dominator he encountered upon emerging from the Chaos Void.
At that time, Cang Weiyang had perished exploring the ruins of a Void, and Lin Yuan had fortuitously discovered the cave left behind, where Cang Weiyang's imprint voluntarily offered all the treasures to Lin Yuan.
The only request was hoping Lin Yuan could care for the Stone People tribe.
Lin Yuan eventually fulfilled this promise.
Now, being a time being, he casually resurrected this Twelfth Realm being too.
"I…"
In a Void Domain, the chubby 'Cang Weiyang' looked around in confusion.
"Didn't I die?"
Cang Weiyang was somewhat puzzled, but then relevant information flooded his mind.
"Was it the great time lifeform 'Galaxy' that resurrected me? Because my cave dwelling was acquired by him?"
Cang Weiyang widened his eyes; he never expected that the cave dwelling he left behind would play such a significant role, becoming the key to his resurrection.
"Thank you, great time lifeform."
Cang Weiyang immediately bowed respectfully in a certain direction to express his gratitude.
He dared not directly gaze upon Lin Yuan's true form, for with his strength, directly observing a time lifeform's true form might cause his own mind and will to become distorted and corrupted.
"I'll send you to the Stone People Clan."
With a thought, Lin Yuan transported Cang Weiyang to the current location of the Stone People Clan.
Stone People Clan's secret realm.
Cang Weiyang's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Who is it?"
Cang Yulong, also at the peak of the Mastery Realm, immediately sensed something amiss and appeared nearby in an instant.
"Is it Uncle Weiyang?"
Cang Yulong looked at Cang Weiyang, hardly believing his eyes.
Cang Weiyang held a high status within the Stone People Clan as its previous sole Mastery Realm peak.
Cang Yulong was a junior to Cang Weiyang.
But…
Cang Yulong had already felt the dispersion of Cang Weiyang's karma; he had perished.
Why would he appear again?
And why would the dispersed karma be forcibly reestablished?
Cang Yulong could hardly believe it.
As someone with deep fortune, he received the legacy of the Great Saint Tuo Dragon when he was weak and survived despite being pursued by the Nine Sword Venerable.
Cang Yulong had seen much during his life, yet this scene was still incredibly shocking.
"Yulong, it was the great time lifeform that resurrected me."
Cang Weiyang promptly explained.
"Great time lifeform?"
Cang Yulong took a deep breath.
Great time lifeform.
Indeed.
Only a great time lifeform could resurrect someone of the Twelfth Layer.
"The cave dwelling I left behind was acquired by the great time lifeform, which granted me this favor and led to my resurrection."
Cang Weiyang said with a smile.
"Is it the Galaxy Great Saint?"
Cang Yulong murmured to himself.
If it were an ancient time lifeform aiming to resurrect Cang Weiyang, they would have done so long ago.
There would be no need to wait until now.
Hence, the time lifeform resurrecting Cang Weiyang must only be a newly advanced time lifeform.
Lately, two time lifeforms had newly advanced.
One is Luo Hou, the other is Galaxy.
Luo Hou is an extremely ancient Great Saint.
With Luo Hou's strength, he would have no interest in Cang Weiyang's cave dwelling.
"Galaxy Great Saint?"
Cang Weiyang nodded; the moment he was resurrected, he became aware of Lin Yuan's title.
"Earlier, when our Stone People Clan was imprisoned by the Nine Sword Venerable, it must have been the work of Galaxy Great Saint too."
Cang Yulong murmured to himself. At that time, he even set Galaxy Great Saint as his goal, driven by the legacy of the Great Saint Tuo Dragon in him.
Looking at it now.
He was not even Chaos Realm.
Galaxy Great Saint had already stepped into the Thirteenth Layer.
Even if he hadn't stepped into the Thirteenth Layer, the name of Galaxy Great Saint was known throughout the Chaos Void.
…
Outside an isolated, natural cosmos.
A woman wearing a light green skirt appeared.
A burly, majestic male figure appeared in the distance as well.
"Xuan."
The woman in the light green skirt couldn't help calling out when she saw the burly male.
"Senior sister."
The burly male's expression was also full of emotion.
"What is this?"
The burly male looked around thoughtfully.
"Xuan, how am I alive?"
The woman in the light green skirt looked slightly confused.
When she died, she was too weak to even be in the Mastery Realm.
"You were resurrected."
"I was resurrected too, by the great time lifeform who captured us."
The burly male 'Xuanhuang' said softly, lifting his gaze to see a majestic true form gazing down at him.
As an Invincible Great Saint, 'Xuanhuang' had earned the privilege to look up to the time lifeform.
Using the weapon of the Thirteenth Layer, he forced a break in the time loop, an act destined to lead to certain death.
Only a time lifeform of the Thirteenth Layer could have resurrected him.
But he had no karma with the time lifeform and lacked any value for resurrection; forcibly breaking the time loop meant he would never step into the Thirteenth Layer.
"Live well with your senior sister."
Lin Yuan's voice echoed beside Xuanhuang.
Xuanhuang's greatest obsession was his senior sister.
To have her back, he willingly gave up the chance to become the Thirteenth Layer time lifeform.
"Thank you, great time lifeform."
Xuanhuang immediately bowed, understanding that Lin Yuan resurrected his senior sister out of respect for him.
Otherwise, his senior sister had no karma with Lin Yuan; even if she were to be resurrected, it wouldn't be her turn.
…
"Demon Jade Tower Master…"
Lin Yuan gazed into the deepest part of the Chaos Void, which belonged to the Demon Jade Tower Master's time loop region.
"No chance of breaking the time loop."
Lin Yuan shook his head lightly.
The possibility of passing the time loop test is greatest the first time through.
With each additional cycle thereafter, the chances diminish.
Now, nearly ten million Cosmic Eras had passed since the Demon Jade Tower Master fell into the time loop.
The Demon Jade Tower Master, caught in the time loop, had likely undergone countless loops, probably unable to even maintain his self, let alone break the time loop itself.
"Break."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious as he forcibly broke through the time loop that the Demon Jade Tower Master had fallen into.
Buzz — the terrifying backlash swept through, yet Lin Yuan easily fended it off.
A figure in a black robe was retrieved by Lin Yuan.
"I…"
Freed from the confines of the time loop, the Demon Jade Tower Master quickly regained his senses, and many memories surged back.
"Thank you, great time lifeform."
The Demon Jade Tower Master immediately bowed to Lin Yuan.
Trapped in the time loop, endlessly looping without self-awareness.
For any Great Saint, this was torment.
Lin Yuan forcibly shattered the time loop, weathering the backlash of the timeline to rescue him, akin to a resurrection.
"Didn't expect that the casual creation of Demon Jade Space back then would nurture a great time lifeform."
The Demon Jade Tower Master's heart was filled with emotion, having learned everything after emerging from the time loop.
…
Lasted for about half an hour.
All the fallen strong ones relating to Lin Yuan from past karma were resurrected.
For these resurrected beings, Lin Yuan mostly greeted them, briefly explaining the reason for their revival.
Otherwise, being resurrected inexplicably by a great time lifeform would be dreadfully terrifying for most lifeforms.
"That should be about it."
Lin Yuan retracted his powers, watching over the newly resurrected beings, all with joyous expressions, feeling quite content himself.
When one person steps into the Way, they elevate everyone connected to them.
Upon crossing into the Thirteenth Layer, all life interconnected with his own ought to have a second chance.
Given Lin Yuan's current strength and foundation, doing such incurred little cost.
Even the backlash from the timeline was easily endured, not affecting him at all.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Lin Yuan's expression subtly changed.
He instantly partitioned a portion of his attention, diving deep into his mind.
For now, a mysterious aura began emanating from the grand and magnificent Myriad Realms Gate.
