In the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan looked at the small mountain made entirely of the sands of time before him.
The sands of time are formed by the convergence of the most essential forces of time, which can be divided or fused together.
In order to smoothly move the Time Mountain out of the Wanwei space-time, Lin Yuan divided it into seven million parts.
When these seven million parts gather together again, they can once again fuse into the Time Mountain.
"No wonder beings of time love exploration so much."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face; just relying on seclusion and hard cultivation cannot accumulate so much sands of time.
If he hadn't dispatched the Taiji Primordial Spirit into the Wanwei space-time, how many years would it take to accumulate such a large amount of sands of time?
"This time entering the Wanwei space-time can be considered a complete success."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Originally, he only planned to harvest a few thousand to ten thousand catties of sands of time.
As a result, he obtained a small mountain worth seven to eight million catties of sands of time, which naturally left him very satisfied.
"Next, I can let the Taiji Primordial Spirit explore a little deeper."
Lin Yuan thought in his heart.
With such a large Time Mountain harvest, even if his current Taiji Primordial Spirit were to fall immediately, he wouldn't feel any distress.
And by exchanging blows with the Bald Time Lord, Lin Yuan also confirmed his strength range, standing as an extremely powerful second-tier lord.
With this level of strength, even venturing deep into the Wanwei space-time, as long as he is careful, he won't encounter much danger.
Even when facing those legendary tier Time Lords, at worst, he would lose a main battle body, not affecting his other true bodies.
As his strength increases and with enough harvest, Lin Yuan doesn't mind taking some risks. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
If he fails, he would only lose one Taiji Primordial Spirit.
Should he gain something deeper in the Wanwei space-time, even if it's not as great as this Time Mountain, it would far exceed slowly exploring the perimeter areas.
"With my current strength, I can be more assertive even in the depths of the Wanwei space-time, without needing to be so timid."
Lin Yuan thought secretly.
Legendary tier lords are exceedingly rare, and according to Lin Yuan's current strength, under a legendary tier lord, even if he isn't a match, he can retreat unscathed.
Those second-tier lords who have already touched the legend threshold and are crossing the last eight thousand tribulations might find it easy to repel Lin Yuan, but to suppress him… even if they have that ability, they wouldn't use it.
Because it's too time-consuming, just as Lin Yuan is unwilling to pursue the Bald Time Lord, those who have touched the legend threshold are also unwilling to chase Lin Yuan.
The Wanwei space-time has only opened for a few million years, time is precious, and the Time Lords are all quite rational.
As for those at the third-tier legend level… if he truly encountered one, Lin Yuan would directly choose to extinguish that Taiji Primordial Spirit.
Absolutely not giving the legendary tier lord any chance to directly strike at him.
…
"Finally, I can head to Green Cliff Mountain to purchase a batch of needed resources."
Lin Yuan put away the Time Mountain and pondered with a thoughtful expression.
With such a large batch of sands of time obtained, the first thing is naturally to quickly convert it into his own strength.
Thinking of this, the past self residing in the past time-space immediately headed to the place where the Time Lords communicate, 'Green Cliff Mountain.'
Upon entering Green Cliff Mountain, Lin Yuan noticed that the avatars of the lords here were much more numerous than usual.
There was even a slightly 'lively' atmosphere.
"It should be due to the opening of the Wanwei space-time."
Lin Yuan was not much surprised. The opening of the Wanwei space-time is a 'grand event' in this vast dimensional gap area.
Lords who hadn't shown up for ages would all head there, and being in the Wanwei space-time, the need for lords to exchange information greatly increases, so naturally, they would choose to enter Green Cliff Mountain to communicate.
"It's just… even with the vast fame of the 'Wanwei space-time' to such a degree, those origin worlds I descended upon have never heard of it…"
Lin Yuan's expression showed slight confusion.
Near the dimensional gap area where the Chaos Void was located, those with a bit of strength among time beings knew of the existence of the Wanwei space-time.
However, the first origin world, the second origin world, and the third origin world sitting in the dimensional gap area had not heard of Wanwei space-time.
"The vast dimensional gap is too immense."
Lin Yuan marveled in his heart, concluding that the distance between the two sides was too far.
Even legendary tier Time Lords have not yet explored the true size of the vast dimensional gap.
And there are numerous time-space layers existing between different dimensional spaces, so the distance between them is not simply a matter of spatial distance.
Perhaps the several origin worlds Lin Yuan travels through were not on the same timeline as the Chaos Void.
This could also explain why the dimensional gap regions where the origin worlds are located have never heard of Wanwei space-time.
…
Time-Space Shop.
As Lin Yuan just walked in, a twelve-eyed beast greeted him warmly.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon." The twelve-eyed beast clearly had a strong impression of Lin Yuan.
"I'm here to purchase some resources." Lin Yuan said directly.
"Please take a look." The twelve-eyed beast flipped its hand, and multiple light screens appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.
"This one, this one, and this one too."
Lin Yuan selected dozens of raw materials and precious resources, worth two to three hundred thousand catties of sands of time.
"It seems you've had great gains within the Wanwei space-time…" The twelve-eyed beast looked surprised.
Two to three hundred thousand catties of sands of time are not something a newly-promoted Time Lord can produce.
Even many second-tier Time Lords may not be able to take out such an amount of sands of time at once, as the wealth of Time Lords is usually concentrated in their weapons and treasures, and not necessarily in the liquidity of sands of time.
"Not bad luck."
Lin Yuan said.
Being able to acquire such a Time Mountain is indeed quite fortunate.
Of course, blocking the Bald Time Lord afterward relied on strength.
Without strength, Lin Yuan would really just be a newly promoted ordinary Time Lord. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
Then, in all likelihood, he wouldn't have been able to keep the Time Mountain in the end.
The Bald Time Lord initially suggested splitting it in half to test Lin Yuan.
If he found Lin Yuan's strength ordinary, easily manipulated by him,
how could he possibly settle for just half?
"In a place like Wanwei Space-Time, you do need luck."
The Twelve-Eyed Beast nodded, as within Wanwei Space-Time, the timeline cannot be observed; Time Lords cannot predict the future, so luck plays a big role.
"But you also have to be careful, it's very dangerous there too."
The Twelve-Eyed Beast reminded: "Especially deep inside, second-level lords fight fiercely over treasures, I've heard several second-level lords have gone mad with killing, their main fighting bodies have fallen."
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Wanting to make second-level Time Lords kill with such madness, the treasures they fight over must be extraordinarily precious, likely surpassing the value of the Time Mountain.
Within Wanwei Space-Time, without observing the timeline, the outcomes of battles among the lords cannot be known in advance, leaving direct combat as the only way to determine victory or defeat.
And in direct combat, to a certain extent, neither party can hold back, and it's not surprising for one side's main fighting body to fall.
"If you really encounter any danger, remember to mention my name; as long as it's not a legendary-level lord, it might still help." The Twelve-Eyed Beast looked at Lin Yuan and said again.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Here are the materials and treasures you wanted."
The Twelve-Eyed Beast's mind slightly moved, and several treasure wonders emanating profound auras floated in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also took out the Time Sand he had prepared.
…
"These materials should be able to transform the Origin Clock to the peak of the Second Realm."
In the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan began to reforge the Origin Clock.
The large batch of lord-level raw materials he purchased was enough for the Origin Clock to evolve for a while.
…
Wanwei Space-Time.
Lin Yuan continued to advance deeper.
"Is this the deep area?"
Crossing a certain boundary, Lin Yuan immediately felt the pressure of space-time around him increase significantly, understanding that he had entered the depths of Wanwei Space-Time.
Here, even second-level lords have the possibility of falling.
"I must also be careful."
Lin Yuan, albeit confident, wasn't going to be too flamboyant; he immediately restrained his aura and randomly chose a direction to explore.
Time passed.
Eight thousand years went by in the blink of an eye.
"I've acquired treasures worth approximately two hundred thousand catties of Time Sand."
Lin Yuan flew within the deep regions of Wanwei Space-Time, feeling quite satisfied.
Here, the probability of discovering treasures is indeed much higher than in the outer regions.
Though treasures worth two hundred thousand catties of Time Sand are far less valuable than the Time Mountain, the latter is considered a great opportunity, not something one encounters frequently.
"Boom——"
An unusual aura emanated from afar, with seven distinctly different forces interweaving.
"What is that?" Lin Yuan looked from afar.
In that area filled with seven forces, Lin Yuan vaguely saw a small ten-meter-high tree, radiating seven colors, each emitting distinctly different aura waves.
"Is this the Seven Deities Treasure Tree?" Lin Yuan's pupils slightly contracted.
The Seven Deities Treasure Tree, a thirteenth-tier supreme wonder, is worth millions of catties of Time Sand.
The use of the Seven Deities Treasure Tree is to make a Time Lord's body tend toward perfection.
In endless ages past, there was a path of transcendence alongside the 'Perfect Soul,' known as the 'Perfect Body.'
The goal was to nurture a perfect mind from a perfect body.
However, eventually, a lord proved that this 'Perfect Body' path couldn't lead to transcendence.
Nevertheless, transforming the body to reach a perfect level can enhance a Time Lord's strength.
And the Seven Deities Treasure Tree can promote the perfection of the body.
Although the Seven Deities Treasure Tree can't directly make the body perfect, it can bring it close to perfection.
Even so, for Time Lords, this wonder is extremely valuable, with the listed price being millions of catties of Time Sand, though it's practically priceless.
"Many Time Lords are already eyeing this Seven Deities Treasure Tree."
Lin Yuan noticed around the Seven Deities Treasure Tree, there were seven or eight auras, all at the peak of the second level Time Lords.
Now, since the Seven Deities Treasure Tree has yet to mature, these seven or eight peak-level Time Lords haven't made a move, merely standing off against each other.
"I must compete for it."
Lin Yuan gazed from afar at the Seven Deities Treasure Tree, craving it intensely within his heart.
The Martial Arts Evolution Road specializes in the physical body, making this treasure, which greatly nurtures the body, a necessity for Lin Yuan.
Even though Lin Yuan was already at the peak of the second level eight thousand years ago, and despite not yet establishing the 'Tai Shi' method, his strength has grown significantly over the eight thousand years, equivalent to a second-level lord past the nine billionth tribulation.
"Seven or eight peak-level second-level lords, plus those hiding in the shadows, if I want to compete, I must fight swiftly and decisively, and retreat immediately once I have it."
Lin Yuan also hid nearby, silently watching the soon-to-mature Seven Deities Treasure Tree.
Just several decades passed.
The seven forces spreading from the Seven Deities Treasure Tree began to subtly merge.
"Is it now?!"
Lin Yuan suddenly erupted, his body rising with terrifying Tai Chu force, the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao surged like a sharp sword piercing through the lords' sealed area, suddenly appearing beside the Seven Deities Treasure Tree.
"Collect."
Lin Yuan directly took away the Seven God Tree, then transformed into a ray of primordial light, once again breaking through the blockade of numerous Time Lords.
In just an instant, Lin Yuan's presence vanished from the perception range of all the Time Lords.
"Who was that?"
The second-level Time Lords, who had been confronting each other, were somewhat perplexed. They were just about to take action, only to find the Seven God Tree gone?
"Such terrifying power!"
"Forget it, let's not chase."
The second-level peak Lords in confrontation, as well as the Lords hidden in the shadows, sighed inwardly with no intention to pursue.
Firstly, the power of the Lord who just took the Seven God Tree was too terrifying. If they hadn't succeeded in taking it, they might have had a chance to fight if they joined forces. But since the Seven God Tree was already taken, there was no need to pursue.
To try to retake the Seven God Tree from such an existence? The hope is too slim.
…
In the distance.
At the same time, there were Time Lords observing the Seven God Tree.
One of the Time Lords had a solemn expression, and behind them stood over ten time lifeforms, including the 'Mother of the Screw Realm', Wan Chengkong.
This solemn-faced Time Lord was Lord Chu Wei, the Time Lord of the area near the Chaos Void. This time, with the opening of the Wanwei space-time, Lord Chu Wei gathered many time lifeforms to scout within the Wanwei space-time.
At this moment, Lord Chu Wei was introducing the Time Lords confronting each other near the Seven God Tree to the time lifeforms behind him.
Lord Chu Wei knew his own strength and had no intention of competing for the Seven God Tree, but since he encountered such a treasure, watching from afar was enough to satisfy his curiosity.
"That is the Black Light Lord, a second-level peak Lord. If you encounter it, you must not offend it."
"That is the Lord of Sky Silver, also a second-level peak Lord. With your strength, you cannot withstand its past time-space erasure."
"That is Lord Qingmu…"
…
Lord Chu Wei introduced to the many time lifeforms behind him these second-level peak Time Lords, who were hard to encounter even once, let alone seven or eight gathered together.
The 'Mother of the Screw Realm', Wan Chengkong, was also listening intently, as information about Lords would be costly even to purchase, so learning from Lord Chu Wei was absolutely a gain.
Just then—
A hazy primordial light flashed from afar, directly penetrating the blockade ring of seven or eight second-level peak Lords, taking the Seven God Tree and disappearing again, transforming into primordial light and flashing away again.
Only after the Seven God Tree disappeared did the seven or eight second-level peak Lords react, but still did not take any action.
"What was that?"
The time lifeforms standing behind Lord Chu Wei were incredulous.
The Seven God Tree just disappeared like that?
Lord Chu Wei also hadn't quite reacted.
It was only a moment later that he spoke with lingering fear: "The existence that just took the Seven God Tree, its power is far more terrifying than other second-level peak Lords. If you encounter it, don't even bother escaping; if it wants to kill you, there's no way to escape."
Lord Chu Wei steadied himself, then said with some shock: "Strange, such an existence, I have never heard of it…"
Lord Chu Wei did not notice the hint of incredulity in the expressions of the two time lifeforms behind him, 'Mother of the Screw Realm', Wan Chengkong.
The level of the primordial light was overpowering, but the faint Taiji aura within it seemed somewhat familiar to the two time lifeforms.
"How does it seem like the Galaxy?"
The Mother of the Screw Realm thought she must have felt it wrong, having sparred with Lin Yuan several times and faced the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
That's how they perceived the similarity between them.
Chaos Void.
An avatar of Lin Yuan was chatting leisurely with the Mother of the Screw Realm, Wan Chengkong.
The three time lifeforms would gather every so often, and they got along quite well.
"Hahaha, Galaxy, we were just in that Wanwei space-time watching the battle over the Seven God Tree, which was ultimately taken by a mysterious powerhouse, whose methods were somewhat similar to yours."
Wan Chengkong looked at Lin Yuan with interest: "Galaxy, did you perhaps gain a legacy left by that one?"
The Mother of the Screw Realm nodded in admiration: "The legacy left by such a powerhouse would be earth-shattering, no wonder you're so powerful, Galaxy… Such an opportunity…"
Wan Chengkong and the Mother of the Screw Realm looked at Lin Yuan with a bit of envy.
Powerful as Lord Chu Wei was, even he revered that mysterious powerhouse. These time lifeforms could only look up in awe.
Of course, Wan Chengkong and the Mother of the Screw Realm were only envious and had no other thoughts, merely sighing at Lin Yuan's incredible fortune.
"Seven God Tree?"
Lin Yuan looked at the two time lifeforms.
Within Wanwei space-time, the timeline couldn't be observed, and causality was suppressed, so he hadn't noticed that the Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong were nearby.
"Yes, who exactly was that mysterious Lord who took the Seven God Tree? Even Lord Chu Wei didn't know their identity." Wan Chengkong was very curious.
The Mother of the Screw Realm also looked at Lin Yuan with curiosity.
"Who?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's nothing mysterious, that was me."
The Mother of the Screw Realm and Wan Chengkong were both stunned upon hearing this.
