Inside the Time-Space Shop, the twelve-eyed beast looked apologetically at Lin Yuan: "Ye Wu is just like that, please don't mind."
"I certainly don't mind."
Lin Yuan said.
The negotiation with Lord Ye Wu didn't go well, neither side was very satisfied; it's quite normal.
In fact, if Lin Yuan were indeed an ordinary new Third Realm lord, he might have agreed.
Only serving for millions or tens of millions of years to get ten thousand pounds of time sands? Definitely not a loss.
As for the risks? Lin Yuan didn't even need to think to know there are some risks in Wanwei space-time, but as a Time Lord, his ability to stay alive is quite strong, plus the compensation mentioned by Lord Ye Wu.
The 'offer' is actually quite good.
But unfortunately, Lin Yuan is not a newly appointed Time Lord.
His current strength surpasses that of ordinary lords, and after fifty thousand or a hundred thousand years, it will soar even further.
To only get ten thousand pounds of time sands in exchange for Lin Yuan's service for millions or tens of millions of years?
"That's good then."
The twelve-eyed beast looked at Lin Yuan, its seventh eye blurry, reflecting Lin Yuan's vague past and future.
"Already a lord, but why are there still traces of diverging timelines?" The twelve-eyed beast was slightly puzzled internally.
Time Lords are very cautious about their own timelines, they will try hard to conceal them, and since here is the past time-space, it's even more impossible to glimpse any timelines.
But the twelve-eyed beast has many special talents, and though it couldn't observe Lin Yuan's timeline, it still perceived that the timeline hadn't completely converged.
Time Lords generally have already completely converged their own timelines.
As for those like Lin Yuan whose timeline hasn't converged? There aren't many possibilities.
For example, practicing a certain secret technique that specifically causes a previously converged timeline to diverge again, to plan for more possible futures.
Or perhaps doing it deliberately, scattering multiple timelines to conceal the true timeline, and so on.
Though these possibilities exist, they are all acts of those extremely powerful and terrifying lords, and Lin Yuan, such a newly appointed Time Lord? It stands to reason he shouldn't easily diverge his timeline like this.
"No matter what, focus on forming a good relationship." The twelve-eyed beast thought secretly.
It has encountered many Time Lords, but such a unique one as Lin Yuan is rare, naturally unwilling to offend.
Earlier it specifically reminded Lord Ye Wu outside, suggesting to offer more time sands to 'hire' Lin Yuan, also considering this aspect, but unfortunately, Lord Ye Wu did not perceive its meaning.
Or maybe the Lord of Ye Wu did perceive, but simply didn't care.
Among the many Time Lords, the Lord of Ye Wu is considered quite 'flamboyant' in character.
"Any intelligence on Wanwei space-time?"
Lin Yuan asked.
He was now interested in Wanwei space-time, the strength of Lord Wanwei was definitely the most powerful Time Lord he had encountered, having passed the two-billionth tribulation of the 'Infinite Tribulation' third tier stage!
The difficulty of each tribulation on the 'Infinite Tribulation' path supersedes the previous, the two-billionth tribulation on the third stage? Lin Yuan couldn't even imagine how to get through such a tribulation.
"There is."
The twelve-eyed beast smiled and said: "Complete intelligence is one thousand pounds of time sands, but I'll charge you less, five hundred pounds of time sands."
"Okay."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Five hundred pounds of time sands to acquire complete Wanwei space-time intelligence is indeed not expensive, considering it involves such a being as Lord Wanwei.
Because the Wanwei space-time has been opened many times, much intelligence is no longer secret, otherwise the price would be thousands or even tens of thousands times higher.
Very soon.
Lin Yuan received a wealth of intelligence about Wanwei space-time.
"What do you think? Do you want to wait a bit? Ten thousand pounds of time sands is really a bit less, there should be other lords who can offer more."
The twelve-eyed beast said.
The Lord of Ye Wu is only willing to offer ten thousand pounds of time sands, but that doesn't mean other Time Lords can't offer more.
The twelve-eyed beast thought that with its 'connections', it could secure a good price for Lin Yuan.
"Forget it."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Even if the time sands can be increased from the base of ten thousand pounds, how much could they increase? Twelve thousand pounds? Fifteen thousand pounds?
Even if the twelve-eyed beast speaks its utmost, in the eyes of other lords, Lin Yuan is only a newly appointed lord.
They wouldn't offer too many time sands.
Unless Lin Yuan is willing to reveal his true realm, but doing so would expose his secrets, attracting attention from much stronger lords, which would be counterproductive.
"If Your Excellency plans to explore Wanwei space-time alone, you need to be cautious of other lords."
The twelve-eyed beast could see Lin Yuan's thoughts and reminded: "Lord Wanwei doesn't have much malice towards future lords, and even if there are dangers in the Wanwei space-time he has opened, they won't affect the mind or consciousness, but other lords might be different."
In the Wanwei space-time, there are numerous treasures and rarities that are enough to drive Time Lords insane; once multiple lords fight over a certain treasure, there won't be any holding back.
A Time Lord is very hard to truly kill, but when facing an extremely powerful lord, being left with some indelible influence is still possible.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"If you really encounter some enemy, you can use my name, as long as it doesn't involve the legendary lords, it should be useful."
The twelve-eyed beast thought for a moment and then spoke.
It had already reached the final dozens of tribulations on the second stage of the Infinite Tribulation and its strength was quite renowned among the Third Realm lords, unless facing the legendary Time Lords of the third stage, no one would choose to offend it.
"Thank you."
Lin Yuan was quite grateful.
The name of the Time Lord is not something that can be mentioned casually.
Because it will truly be sensed by the master, and a response will be made.
With that promise from the twelve-eyed beast, Lin Yuan is basically out of true danger within the infinity spacetime.
As for the lords of the third tier of legend? The number of lords of this level is extremely rare. Even if they enter the infinity spacetime, they will go straight to the deepest part, and there will basically be no interaction with new lords like Lin Yuan.
…
Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, browsing the intelligence about 'infinity spacetime.'
The information provided by the twelve-eyed beast was very detailed, not only about the 'infinity spacetime' itself but also many deeds of the Lord Wanwei.
The Lord Wanwei has not only progressed to the later stages of the 'endless tribulation' path of transcendence but has also explored extremely ancient times on the 'infinite origin' path of transcendence.
In addition, Lord Wanwei is the highest achiever on the 'soul perfection' path.
Before Lord Wanwei, besides the mainstream three paths of transcendence, there were some other paths of transcendence.
One of them, named 'soul perfection,' was recognized by quite a few lords.
Perfect soul means reaching a flawless and immaculate state in the soul, and then nurturing a perfect mind with the perfect soul, transcending through the mind.
The so-called perfect soul is to achieve an unsurpassable level in the soul, standing at an absolutely perfect height in the realm of lords.
It should be understood that the soul of life is extremely special; wanting it to be flawless is basically unachievable.
But Lord Wanwei somehow managed it, yet unfortunately, the ultimately flawless soul did not nurture a perfect mind, and even Lord Wanwei's strength did not improve much.
It is precisely because of Lord Wanwei that the 'soul perfection' path of transcendence was proven impossible and could not lead to a lord's transcendence.
…
The more Lin Yuan read about Lord Wanwei, the more questions arose in his heart—
Why did Lord Wanwei choose to impact the perfect time being in the end?
Wouldn't it be more assured to continue exploring the 'infinite origin' path of transcendence or choose to undergo tribulations?
From a certain perspective, when Lord Wanwei chose to impact the perfect time being, it might have been better to do so when he first became a lord; after countless years as a lord, reaching limits on many paths, yet still choosing this transcendence path, which relies solely on destiny?
Wouldn't all previous efforts be meaningless?
"Perhaps Lord Wanwei believed he couldn't overcome the subsequent tribulations."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Is it only when there is no hope on the path of endless tribulation that one chooses to impact the perfect time being?
"I am fortunate."
Lin Yuan examined himself. At least with the help of the World-Breaking Origin Force, as long as he chooses 'endless tribulation,' he is almost certain to overcome all tribulations.
It's merely a question of World-Breaking Origin Force quantity, that is, the length of time.
"With the opening of infinity spacetime this time, I might as well go in and explore."
Having finished perusing the intelligence on 'infinity spacetime,' Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Exploring infinity spacetime, as long as one is a bit careful, isn't very dangerous.
Unless it's to compete for some treasured artifact and fight with other lords.
Or delve into some perilous areas.
Some dangerous places within infinity spacetime can threaten a lord's existence.
But as long as these are avoided, the issue isn't very large.
…
Outside the Chaos Void.
Two figures descended.
"Brother Galaxy."
The Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong patiently waited for a while.
Lin Yuan's figure soon materialized.
"Brother Galaxy."
Wan Chengkong's face broke into a smile, greeting Lin Yuan.
"Brother Galaxy."
The Mother of the Screw Realm did the same.
Since the battle of the Milky Way, the two beings of the Second Realm of time often came to find Lin Yuan to drink and strengthen their relationships.
"Not too long since we last met, it seems you have business with me." Lin Yuan smiled, happy to converse with the Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong. After all, these two beings of the Second Realm of time were knowledgeable, and Lin Yuan could learn many interesting things from them.
"It's something important," the Mother of the Screw Realm smiled: "Brother Galaxy, do you know… infinity spacetime?"
"Infinity spacetime?"
Lin Yuan nodded, "I know a little."
He had just purchased detailed Wanwei time-space intelligence from the owner of the Time-Space Shop.
"The opening of Wanwei time-space, Lord Chu Wei has issued a summons, wanting to bring us Second Realm beings together into Wanwei time-space." Mother of the Screw Realm spoke bluntly, "Within Wanwei time-space, there are some dangerous realms, and Lord Chu Wei needs some time beings to help explore, hence plans to hire us."
"Exploring?"
Lin Yuan understood.
Wanwei time-space harbors many dangerous realms, some of which pose threats to lords, thus time beings are needed to explore.
"How much Time Sand does Lord Chu Wei intend to give?" Lin Yuan casually asked.
"Two thousand pounds of Time Sand." Mother of the Screw Realm replied, "Additionally, if other gains are obtained within Wanwei time-space, Lord Chu Wei is willing to spent equivalent Time Sand to purchase them."
"I see."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Compared to Lord Ye Wu's requirements.
Lord Chu Wei is quite demanding.
Not only giving just two thousand pounds of Time Sand, but even compelling the handover of any gains within Wanwei time-space.
Though Lord Chu Wei promises to purchase with equivalent Time Sand, many gains within Wanwei time-space are unavailable outside.
Whereas Lord Ye Wu's demand of Lin Yuan was merely to heed commands, and wouldn't bother with Lin Yuan's acquisitions.
"Lord Chu Wei's terms are quite good."
Wan Chengkong said beside him, "Wanwei time-space may remain open for a million years, once agreed, there's at least an income of two thousand pounds of Time Sand."
Wan Chengkong looked at Lin Yuan, "Galaxy, would you like to join us?"
"I'll pass."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Though he does intend to enter Wanwei time-space, he's not planning to join other lords, let alone exploring like Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong.
"Alright then."
Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong did not think much, perhaps assuming Lin Yuan found Wanwei time-space too dangerous.
Indeed, Wanwei time-space poses significant dangers to Second Realm time beings, with a likelihood of encountering lord-level existences.
But danger begets opportunity.
Is it possible to earn thousands of Time Sand without danger? How could it be?
Besides, acquiring certain treasures or curiosities would far exceed mere thousands of Time Sand.
…
After chatting a while longer with the two, Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong.
Lin Yuan watched the others gradually fade away.
"Wanwei time-space has a hundred years still before it opens."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "During this time besides cultivation, I can explore the fourth source world."
The coordinates of thirty-three source worlds deep within the Myriad Realms Gate, Lin Yuan has successfully explored the first three.
"The fourth source world."
Lin Yuan's consciousness sank deeply into his mind, gazing at the majestic and grand Myriad Realms Gate.
Each time he observes the Myriad Realms Gate, Lin Yuan perceives differently, the higher his realm, the more awe-inspiring it becomes.
"Let's see this source world."
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts, directing a strand of consciousness, using the Myriad Realms Gate as the 'mediator', swiftly reaching the vicinity outside the fourth source world.
Each time he descends into a new world, Lin Yuan acts this way mainly to gain a rough understanding of the impending world's information.
"Hmm?"
With the perspective of the Myriad Realms Gate, many secrets of this source world were clear to Lin Yuan.
Compared to the previous three source worlds, the fourth source world is extremely unique.
As this source world has just undergone a great cataclysm and is in the newborn phase.
During this phase, the Dao Origin within the source world fully manifests, numerous opportunities are everywhere, and simultaneously, bizarre lifeforms may be birthed.
"This…" Lin Yuan's expression showed a hint of peculiarity.
Despite being countless years behind the strongest of a source world, Lin Yuan could quickly catch up and surpass within a short time.
Now, sharing the newborn stage of the world, all are standing at the same starting line, Lin Yuan descending at this moment, wouldn't he easily dominate?
…
