In the deepest part of the Wanwei time-space, next to the Origin Stone.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, contemplating the records of ancient time periods made by Lord Wanwei. As various insights merged, numerous timelines finally converged completely.
At the moment the timelines were sealed, Lin Yuan successfully stepped into the Third Realm, becoming a true Time Lord.
"The biggest difference between a lord and a Perfect Time Being below the Third Realm lies in their own timeline."
An understanding arose in Lin Yuan's mind — without becoming a lord, no matter how much one grasps, they cannot sense the true essence of a lord.
Only by becoming a lord, the past timelines gathered, leaving no more weak moments, and it's almost impossible to be killed in the weaker periods.
Those capable of killing the past self of a lord can similarly kill the present and future self of the lord.
Moreover, the convergence of future timelines connects them with the present, greatly eliminating the existence of other variables.
After all, a large number of complicated, unnecessary future timelines are condensed, leaving only the future timelines needed by the lord. This is also a kind of help for the subsequent paths of cultivation.
Removing the 'ineffective' paths.
"Earlier than expected," Lin Yuan's face revealed a smile, even though the cultivation of the "Three Lives Method" made him almost certainly a lord.
But according to Lin Yuan's previous estimation, even with the "Three Lives Method," it would take him around seventy to eighty thousand years, or even nearly a hundred thousand years, to fully step into the Third Realm.
Yet in this deepest part of Wanwei time-space, comprehending the special time-space fluctuations, observing the 'Origin Stone' and 'Abyss of Calamity' left by Lord Wanwei, and exchanging with other Legendary Lords.
Lin Yuan managed to completely consolidate his timelines in just sixty thousand years.
And the influence of these sixty thousand years on Lin Yuan was far beyond just stepping into the Third Realm thirty thousand years earlier.
The 'Origin Stone' and 'Abyss of Calamity' left by Lord Wanwei gave Lin Yuan a deep understanding of the two transcendence paths of 'Infinite Origin' and 'Infinite Tribulations.'
Especially the 'Abyss of Calamity,' which recorded all the calamity images experienced by Lord Wanwei and other lords… numerous bizarre trials left Lin Yuan with deep sentiments.
"The first stage of the Infinite Tribulations path, with thirty-six billion two hundred thousand tribulations, isn't very difficult; it merely involves going to some place within the vast dimensional gaps to complete a trial. The last few tribulations might involve going to past time, altering the slight progression of timelines."
"The second stage, with one billion eight hundred thousand tribulations, is very dangerous for a lord since some require the lord to abandon everything, leaving only a trace of mental will to descend to a special world with harsh rules to complete the trial."
Lin Yuan pondered.
The time loop world he entered, targeting the assassination of Emperor Da Feng, is likely a Time Lord in the second stage. According to the harsh rules of the time loop world, it's probable that these are the last few tribulations within the one billion eight hundred thousand tribulations of the second stage.
"As for the third stage of three hundred thirty million tribulations…" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⸺fire.net
Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn. The tribulations in this stage correspond to the level of Legendary Lords, each tribulation being incredibly challenging.
According to Lord Wanwei's summaries, the hardest part of the third stage's tribulations is needing to go to future times to prevent a certain event from happening.
Lord Wanwei's experience in the two hundred millionth tribulation of the third stage was traveling to the distant future to assassinate a special Time Lord.
It was precisely because of this battle that Lord Wanwei completely lost confidence in the 'Infinite Tribulations' path, even though they barely succeeded in passing the trial and instead chose to pursue perfect time being.
"This battle…"
Lin Yuan's brows slightly furrowed. Lord Wanwei mentioned the battle but the critical parts had been erased.
"Supreme Rule Dao consciousness does not permit dissemination?"
Lin Yuan was thoughtful. Other Legendary Lords in the deepest regions speculated that it is the consciousness of Supreme Rule Dao that erased the critical information.
"What happened in the battle? Or was the Time Lord to be assassinated so special that it made Lord Wanwei realize they would never have hope on the 'Infinite Tribulations' path?"
Lin Yuan was quite curious.
For an existence like Lord Wanwei, who had faced countless tribulations, their mindset was exceptionally stable. For them to abandon a transcendence path nearing its end, how profound must the impact have been?
…
Chaos Void.
"Buzz——"
As Lin Yuan stepped into the Third Realm, the essence of life began to transform, and mental will surged rapidly, easily penetrating the entire Chaos Void.
Because Lin Yuan was a being of the Chaos Void, Chaos Void did not resist them whatsoever, allowing Lin Yuan to easily detect a piece of information.
That was that they could refine the entire Chaos Void, becoming the master of Chaos Void.
The master of Chaos Void, even if the Chaos Void entered the Great Annihilation cycle, would not need to leave and could still reside within the Chaos Void.
One must know, whether it is the Chaos Void or other top-dimensional spaces, once the Great Annihilation begins, the time beings born there must leave.
If not leaving, they will perish along with the Chaos Void's Great Annihilation.
Furthermore, after completing a cycle of the Great Annihilation, the Chaos Void no longer accepts the return of the original time beings.
Refining the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan would be able to stay in the Chaos Void regardless of how many Great Annihilation cycles have passed.
"Is this the 'benefit' of becoming a Time Lord within a Great Annihilation cycle, to thoroughly refine a top-dimensional space?" Lin Yuan pondered.
Refining a top-tier dimensional space brings numerous benefits, starting with the protection of this top-tier dimensional space.
Any attacks, even from a Legendary Lord like Lord Wanwei, are weakened by ninety-nine percent after being obstructed by the top-tier dimensional space.
A top-tier dimensional space like the Chaos Void is only comparable to a Time Lord in size, but it is shrouded in the supreme rule of the endless dimensional rules and can be considered the strongest means of self-preservation.
Of course, the prerequisite for refining a top-tier dimensional space is to become a lord during a grand destruction cycle.
Another prerequisite is that life must be born naturally in this dimensional space; those time life forms or lords who integrate themselves at great cost are not considered.
Time life forms or lords who forcibly integrate will be rejected by the entire dimensional space, and even if they regain the strength of a lord, they cannot succeed in refining it.
Since the birth of the endless dimensional realms, Lin Yuan is estimated to be the first life to become a lord within a top-tier dimensional space during a grand destruction cycle, as it was never heard before that dimensional spaces could be refined.
Even Lord Wanwei has not left any relevant information, and other Legendary Lords have never heard of such things.
…
"The other source worlds cannot be refined…"
Lin Yuan thought secretly, compared to normal top-tier dimensional spaces, the source worlds are much more special.
Lin Yuan was not surprised by this. The three Immortal Emperors, including the Three-Life Immortal Emperor in the third source world, also became lords during a grand destruction cycle by using the special nature of the source world and still did not refine it.
"The third source world, because of the fall of the illusory world, can no longer be considered a typical source world, existing for far more than one grand destruction cycle."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This also highlights the special nature of the source worlds.
"Let it be, first refine the Chaos Void."
Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly, beginning to refine the entire Chaos Void.
His inner universe now has surpassed the Chaos Void both in volume and size, but ultimately it was not nurtured by the awareness of the supreme rule, lacking some special charm.
The most obvious difference is that the Chaos Void could nurture time life forms one after another.
However, Lin Yuan's inner universe cannot nurture true time life forms; the spirit of the 'Magic Origin Fruit Tree' trapped in a time cycle is also not nurtured by the inner universe but comes from the vast dimensional gap.
Refining the Chaos Void benefits Lin Yuan in perfecting his inner universe on a microscopic level.
…
Rumble——
As Lin Yuan began refining, the entire Chaos Void was naturally affected.
Countless Great Daos, even the Origin Daos, began to tremble, and time life forms like Lord Mo Xu sensed the commotion and showed up to investigate.
"What happened?"
"Why does it feel like the aura of the Chaos Void is changing?"
Lord Mo Xu and other time life forms were extremely shocked.
Suddenly.
A message entered the minds of all time life forms.
"I have crossed into the Third Realm, refining the Chaos Void."
Lin Yuan's voice came.
Relieving the unease in the hearts of Lord Mo Xu and other time life forms.
Yet, what followed was even greater astonishment.
"The Third Realm? The Milky Way has become a lord?"
The time life form 'Zhu Yin' said in a daze.
Time life forms are divided into three realms, and the Third Realm is called a Time Lord.
"Unbelievable."
Another time life form exclaimed, even though they saw the limitless potential in Lin Yuan, they didn't expect him to become a Time Lord so quickly? How long has it been since he stepped into the thirteenth tier?
"The Milky Way…"
The newly advanced time life form 'Luo Hou' was somewhat dumbfounded.
With Lin Yuan's permission, he had meditated for tens of thousands of years in the Milky Way dimension, thinking he had narrowed the gap with Lin Yuan, only to realize he had already become a lord?
"I entered the thirteenth tier before the 'Milky Way'…"
The newly advanced time life form 'Luo Hou' sighed.
"You just came in ahead of him, we've all been here for more than half a grand destruction cycle."
Other time life forms rolled their eyes.
What all the time life forms didn't know was that although Lin Yuan has just transitioned into the Third Realm and reached the domain of a lord, his actual combat strength is above ninety-nine percent of lords, even among Legendary Lords, he's considered powerful.
Never having experienced any 'Endless Tribulations', yet possessing such power, is unprecedented.
"The Milky Way refined the Chaos Void, so even if a grand destruction cycle occurs, we don't have to leave."
Lord Mo Xu said softly, and in the message Lin Yuan sent to their minds, he briefly introduced the benefits of refining the Chaos Void.
After refining the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan is the true master of the Chaos Void, and if he wishes, even if they are not time life forms nurtured by the Chaos Void, they can also be allowed to enter.
After Lin Yuan completely refined the Chaos Void, he gained insight into many of the essences of this top-tier dimensional space, and with his own accumulations, many bottlenecks that trapped him began to rapidly dissolve.
"Indeed."
Time life forms were excited.
…
In the deepest part of Wanwei spacetime.
After Lin Yuan completely refined the Chaos Void, he gained insight into many of the essences of this top-tier dimensional space, and with his own accumulations, many bottlenecks that trapped him began to rapidly dissolve.
"Wrong," Innate Five Great "the direction of the third Tai is wrong."
Lin Yuan's eyes shone brightly, as early as fifty-five thousand years ago, he had founded 'Tai Shi' the second Tai of the 'Innate Five Great'.
'Innate Five Great' is the essence of Lin Yuan's life Tao Fruit, the first Tai is 'Tai Chu', and the second Tai is 'Tai Shi'.
After comprehending the first two Tai, Lin Yuan naturally wanted to extend and create the third Tai based on these two Tai.
But he never took that final step, vaguely sensing something wrong.
Now crossing into the Third Realm, becoming a Time Lord, his realm elevated, vision widened, and with the insights gained from refining the Chaos Void, he immediately discovered that the direction of the 'Innate Five Great' third Tai was problematic.
"The third Tai of the 'Innate Five Great' shouldn't be an extension of the first Tai and the second Tai, but their beginning."
Lin Yuan was radiant, "Or rather, this Tai is the true first Tai, and the original 'Tai Chu' and 'Tai Shi' are the second and third Tai."
Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, a brand new aura was born and condensed between his fingers.
"What I need to create should be the first Tai in the 'Innate Five Great', the true first Tai—Tai Yi."
In the depths of Lin Yuan's eyes, three kinds of auras interwoven continuously, representing the three Tai in the 'Innate Five Great', Tai Yi, Tai Chu, and Tai Shi.
"The fourth Tai…"
Lin Yuan began deducing the creation of the fourth Tai, resetting the order of the first three Tai in the 'Innate Five Great', Lin Yuan immediately sensed that the fourth Tai was not far away.
"Milky Way, congratulations." At this moment, the voice of the purple light Legendary Lord came.
Lin Yuan's timeline comprehensively sealed, crossing into the Third Realm, the transformations brought by himself, naturally could not be hidden from the Legendary Lords present.
However, the Legendary Lords did not immediately speak up to disturb him, waiting until Lin Yuan stabilized his own aura to offer their congratulations.
Lin Yuan looked up at the purple light Legendary Lord and smiled: "I was able to step into the Third Realm so quickly, thanks to your guidance."
Over the past 60,000 years of training, Lin Yuan often communicated with the Legendary Lords, and the purple light Legendary Lord provided Lin Yuan with much guidance.
"Even without me, you would have reached this point." The purple light Legendary Lord smiled.
"Milky Way, congratulations."
"Milky Way, congratulations on becoming a lord."
The voices of other Legendary Lords also came one by one to offer their congratulations.
All the Legendary Lords exhibited exceptional friendliness since Lin Yuan's future is terrifyingly significant. Naturally, if they could maintain a distance, they would maintain a distance, but if that wasn't possible, and they had to make contact, then they would show their utmost kindness and enthusiasm.
"Milky Way, how do you feel?"
The purple light Legendary Lord looked at Lin Yuan.
"After becoming a lord, I realized my insignificance…"
Lin Yuan slightly shook his head, crossing into the Third Realm; the transformation of his heart and will allowed him to directly perceive the existence of the supreme rule of the endless dimensional realm's awareness.
That is the power that runs through infinite dimensional realms, and even a Legendary Lord is insignificant before it.
