Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 139: Traveling the River of Time
Time flies, and more than a year has passed since the third disaster tide came.
The environment in the hundreds of domains within the protection range of the oasis walls is still acceptable, but the environment in other large domains outside the oasis walls has been deteriorating continuously to a very harsh and dangerous level.
Compared with the outer areas of the strange world, it is not much different.
Perhaps the power of the evil god is reviving, and more and more of the evil god's minions are walking out of the Weird World and settling in various parts of the Weird World, establishing their tribes and empires in large areas.
The battles between the evil god camps are bloody and cruel, but the evil god camps' killing of the creatures in the strange world is even more cruel.
Outside the Oasis City Wall, there is no oasis anymore. In the eyes of the minions of the evil god, an oasis is too conspicuous. No matter how you hide it, it will be found. Those secret places opened up by the ancients seem to be gradually becoming unsafe.
Such information was circulated among the ancients: the secret land had been broken open, and a large number of servants and minions of the evil god had poured in, killing these ancients in a brutal way and offering blood sacrifices to the evil god.
For a moment, all the ancients felt in danger.
Resistance is impossible. Even if they can defeat and kill some of the evil god's servants, they will be attacked by stronger servants and followers. Resistance will only accelerate their death.
I can only hide far away.
However, the boundless starry sky outside the strange world is also unsafe. If they are found by the strong men in the evil god camp, they will have nowhere to escape.
Where can he hide? Only in the Hundred Domains covered by the Oasis City Wall.
Some ancient ones hid in this area and opened up simple hidden places. Some ancient ones were too lazy to spend the energy to rebuild their homes, so they entered human cities and lived there temporarily.
There are some ancient ones...
"The Lord of the Abyss and the foolish old man have both left this universe."
The Great Sun God said.
These two are the top ancient ones, and their reputation is slightly higher than the other three.
"We should leave now. Otherwise, when the evil god truly awakens one day, it might be too late."
He looked towards the Lord of the Moon, the Lord of the Stars.
There are also twenty or thirty more who follow their ancient ones.
These ancients all had confusion about the future on their faces. After all, outside the universe is truly "nothing", with no passage of time and no height of space. They may be lost in it, traveling for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, and still encounter nothing.
Even if they don't die from exhaustion, they will become crazy.
The ancients who were used to enjoying life found it difficult to accept this future. Even the few ancients who were willing to practice hard were unwilling to face it. After all, time passed quickly during practice, but outside the universe, they could not even practice.
There might be greater terrors outside the universe, and they will be swallowed up directly.
Doesn’t the evil god come from outside the universe?
But they have no choice.
One is going to die soon, the other at least can still fight, with a slim hope.
"Moon Lord, you are hesitating."
The Great Sun God said, "This is not like you."
The Moon Lord sighed, "I am indeed hesitating, wondering whether to leave this universe or stay and give it a try."
Um?
The Great Sun God and the Lord of Stars were somewhat confused.
They thought that the reason why the Moon Lord hesitated was because he was reluctant to leave his hometown. In fact, they were reluctant to leave either.
But why did the Moon Lord come up with such a foolish idea of staying and giving it a try?
Could it be that the Moon Lord has been corrupted by the evil god and is about to lose control of herself?
The expressions of the two great powerful men changed slightly.
"It is rumored that the disappearance of the Lord of the Nine Seas is related to the Xinhuo? But even if the Xinhuo can cause the Lord of the Nine Seas to fall, it is still far from being able to touch the evil god. Lord Moon, don't be naive!"
The Moon Lord shook her head slightly, she knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time.
Wasn't her previous thought also extremely firm?
She stretched out her hand slightly, and a brilliant glow of power emerged in her palm , grasping infinite strength.
Many ancient people were confused and did not understand what this meant.
The Lord of Stars' eyes narrowed, "Lord Moon, you... you have fully recovered?!" Being injured, he could not exert his full strength, let alone lift heavy objects with ease.
The same goes for the Moon Lord!
Even if the Moon Lord has not fully recovered yet, he has recovered almost completely.
The power of authority spread out, without even a trace of filth.
But how?
He, the Lord of the Stars, had worked hard for several years before he had finally eliminated a small portion of the evil god's filth.
"No, you've not only fully recovered, you've actually gone one step further! Is this also related to the fire?"
“It’s really about the fire.”
The Moon Lord paused and said, "After all, I have lived in the Burning City for several months, and I have gained a lot."
You call this a small gain?
No, you’ve only lived here for a few months. Is a few months a long time?
The Great Sun God and the Lord of the Stars did not care about their own dignity, and the corners of their mouths could not help twitching. For great and powerful people like them who have reached the pinnacle of the road, whether it is to eradicate filth or to go further, it will take a time scale of hundreds of years.
A few months, is this some new joke?
But the Moon Lord had indeed recovered, and they were not wrong. Moreover, Xinhuo had created the Oasis Wall after all, which was no less powerful than the miracle power of the Candela Empire. It would not be too outrageous if he could come up with something else.
Just moderately outrageous.
"In fact, the reason why the Lord of the Nine Seas fell in the Xinhuo Realm was because he coveted Xinhuo's ability to quickly recover."
"So this method...?"
The Moon Lord walked to the long table and smiled.
"This method is incredible. The price required to restore great powers like us must be extremely high. However, I have some friendship with that Xinhuo mentor. He agreed to restore it for you two. You only need to pay a small reward, such as a valuable treasure that you can't use."
"The others can also be restored. Don't worry about not being able to pay the reward. The lower the realm, the lower the reward Xinhuo will charge."
To be honest, this fee is not expensive.
The Lord of the Nine Seas really died unjustly.
No, it’s not completely unfair. If the Moon Lord didn’t have enough face, these old guys might not be able to enjoy this method. Even if they could, they would have to pay a price so high that it would hurt them.
At the beginning, when the Moon Lord went against the public opinion and commissioned many ancients to move the oasis on behalf of Xinhuo, it also caused a lot of rumors.
Now it seems that the Moon Lord has a long-term vision!
But Yuezhu herself knew that it was not because of her foresight, nor because she had enough face.
She had only met the mentor a few times.
The one who can really make that mentor give in and pay a huge price to recover for Great Sun God and the others is you, Yi Yue Luxi.
She never thought that one day she would be taking advantage of her sister.
This feeling doesn't seem bad.
…
In the Xinhuo Secret Realm, at the training ground, Fang You, the black-hearted capitalist, did not know that his business had already opened. He was browsing the copy interface on the panel.
"Dungeon shuttle."
"Time point."
"Past and future."
"Fate must be involved here."
He traveled back in time to the past, changing some people and things, but it just happened to fill in the gaps in history, secretly matching the fate.
Of course, if he fails to conform to fate and follow the general trend, it may lead to a catastrophe and incur a price that he cannot afford.
"River of Time!"
Wow.
The environment of heaven and earth changes in an instant. A vast river with no beginning or end can be seen, running through the universe.
It's everywhere.
It is everything.
Fang You stood on the edge of the long river of time, stopped and looked around for a long time. Then he slowly took a step forward and waded into the long river of time.
The past, present and future... Under the rush of the vast power of time, his majestic body of the God of Laws seemed extremely thin, and his body seemed to be wailing as if it could not bear the heavy burden.
He slowly raised his foot and took a step back.
Just like unleashing the power of authority at full strength, the consumption is not small.
He took ten steps back.
It was as if the Spears of Destruction were blasted out continuously, and the stocks in the Gate of Infinity were consumed rapidly.
He took fifty steps back.
It was similar to the state when he killed the Lord of the Nine Seas, he had tried his best and was already injured.
"The River of Time is indeed a very great 'object'. If an ordinary Tenth Realm being were to enter, he would probably be shattered by the waves of time in an instant."
"This may also be related to the lack of special methods."
He felt that there were also techniques that could be used to travel the River of Time. However, these techniques were very profound, starting with red-level skills, which he did not have.
But...
"It's decided to be you, Time Pavilion."
An exquisite pagoda flew out of his body and landed steadily on the river of time.
Fang You flew up and landed in the tower.
Instantly, all the invisible pressure disappeared. The fierce waves of time continued to hit the Time Pavilion one after another, but they could not shake it at all.
This is the power of Time Travel!
Controlling the Time Pavilion, he can freely travel in the river of time, whether going to the past or the future. Of course, it is still not easy for him to obtain fragments of information about the future.
The time node he traveled to in the past was even more dangerous, and one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.
Therefore, Fang You chose to enter the copy and rely on the power of fate to protect him.
Crash——
The Time Pavilion plunged into the surging river and shuttled upstream.
Inside the pagoda, Fang Youyi stared at his surroundings without blinking. Compared to when he went against the flow of time, he was now at least qualified to delve into the river of time.
He stared, almost entranced.
With the dual protection of the Time Pavilion and the copy power, the travel was very smooth, and no one except him could be seen in the entire river of time.
boom--
With splashing water, the Time Pavilion entered a certain time node and disappeared.
…
〔bite!〕
[Hint: You have completed the dungeon "The Founding of Neverwinter", and the reward is...]
…
〔bite!〕
[Hint: You have completed the dungeon "Ancient Holy Court", and the reward is...]
…
〔bite!〕
[Hint: You have completed the dungeon "The First Pillar of Heaven", and the reward is...]
…
Boom——
The waves are splashing, but they are just inconspicuous dots on the river of time.
The Time Pavilion returned to the present world, flew out of Fang You's hand, and fell back into the secret realm.
"In the blink of an eye, I have entered six copies of time and space."
He sighed a little.
In these time and space, he was not the protagonist. It was not because he had no ability, but because he could not be the protagonist, nor an important supporting role. He could not leave too many traces of himself in these past time and space.
He is just a passer-by, a traveler in time, and an observer of fate.
But he had also given some opportunities to Neverwinter's founding emperor; he had provided a little help at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Court; and he had also sat and discussed Taoism with Wu Tianzhu.
He practiced in the time and space of history and also made some attempts.
Find out some secrets;
Some historical relics were obtained;
Changed the fate of some characters;
His authority over time was enhanced. As his time power grew, he was able to manually search for more and older copies on the copy shuttle interface.
The older the time and space node, the more likely it is to contain the secret he wants!
"Kandela's God-killing Battle."
" Ragnarok in the Early Mystical Age."
"What happened when the evil god from outer space descended?"
The last question was what he wanted to know most.
However, the history of that period seemed to be blank. The existence of the Sun God, Moon Lord, etc., who should have experienced that period, could not say anything.
There are still many unknown things.
And if there is a chance, he would like to test the power of the evil god in the past time and space.
"Before that, we have to improve a little bit more."
…
After the third ability of the Time Pavilion was activated, the third level of the Secret Realm of Time did not appear. However, after the World Tree was promoted and appeared, the powerful ones had a new place to practice.
——Leaf of the World !
On the World Tree, each leaf is a world, and these worlds can adjust the speed ratio of time flow inside and outside!
Of course, there are limitations.
The stronger the energy of the individual who enters the World Leaf, the more difficult it is for the World Leaf to adjust its time. The speed of time cannot be as high as that of the Secret Realm of Time. When adjusting, the World Tree also needs to consume a large amount of God Crystals and God Source.
But the Leaf of the World can come in and out at any time!
For those who are short of time, it is worth it even if they can only squeeze out two or three more years in a year.
But the days of cultivation are very boring.
The same is true for traveling through time and space.
He traveled back and forth between the past and the present, staying in each copy of time and space for as short as ten days or half a month, or as long as one or two years.
But when he returns from the copy space and time, it is not necessarily the same second when he set out, sometimes time has passed.
It may be a few hours or days, it may be half a month, or it may be a month or two.
He has not yet figured out the mystery here, and can only sigh that the way of time is unfathomable. If he had not relied on the copy mechanism to travel, even if he owned the Time Pavilion, he might have been lost in the long river of time and unable to return.
After returning from the copy, Fang You would rest for a while in the present time and space, or enter the secret realm of time to practice, and then start traveling after he was ready.
He gradually flew upstream of the river of time and space.
He began to see the landscape of the early Mystical Age, a time when the gods coexisted and when the gods fell.
He carefully moved forward to earlier nodes in time and space, leaving behind mysterious legends in certain eras.
At about the same time,
The Moon Lord was walking on the streets of the Burning City.
She vaguely remembered that in the early days of the Mysterious Age, she had a direct confrontation with the evil god. But that time was even more tragic. If it weren't for the mysterious strong man who saved her, she might have died.
She had to cut off that memory to prevent the evil god's filth from spreading.
The mysterious and powerful man whom she was very grateful to was now only a vague figure left in the depths of her memory.
"Hmm wait."
The Moon Lord stared at the figure deep in his memory, "Why do I feel that this mysterious strong man is a bit similar to... that Xinhuo Mentor?!"
