"As expected, you haven't left yet."

[You, expressionless, were suddenly grabbed by He Yuan.]

At this moment, a genuine smile appeared on the man in blue's face, but against the backdrop of the rapidly shattering and shrinking space around him, it only added a touch of ferocity.

"Future, you've been on my radar for ages!"

【you:"……"】

You interrupted this future and started a new one.

[In the newly started game, they frantically fled outwards.]

[After fleeing for nine days and nine nights, he was suddenly pulled back to He Yuan's side by the shattered space on the tenth day.]

Although Balala has added a layer of information filtering for you, it's not a complete filtering.

Yun Shou: "Huh?"

What information blocking?

That shield can conceal your power of time, prevent you from being indirectly locked onto by the authority of fate through the interference of living beings' destinies, and prevent the space you disturb during your actions from leaving a trace.

However, you can't simply block out all conceptual information, otherwise you won't even be able to replicate the old Dao principles—because your Dao fruit is blocked, and the old Dao principles can't be copied!

[To take it even more dramatically, it could completely block you out, making you seem as if you never existed in any of those myriad realms of time and space!]

[And things like allowing others to see your face, touch your body, hear your voice, and communicate with you mentally... these are definitely things that need to be retained.]

Otherwise, once you arrive at the Boundless Sea of ​​the Past, you'll be like a ghost isolated from the world. She thinks that with your mental capacity... you'll definitely go insane!

"...So what exactly did she do? And when did she do it?"

"Uh, could it be when I stepped into the ancient passage?"

Yun Shou was taken aback: "Could it be that the reason I wasn't discovered by the past in the future wasn't because I was in my own time and space in the 'future,' but because she added a protective buff to my 'future state'?"

"This is a bit of a rip-off."

You're holed up in your little world, cursing silently to yourself.

"Old Deng is being far too paranoid. If he can't find the person, he should just stop looking. Why is he wasting his time here with someone?"

[However, what brings you relief is... He Yuan will gather the surrounding boundless void sea in ten days.]

[You can use Return to Truth in six days!]

[After six days of waiting, you step forward in a future scenario, indicating that you're tired and don't want to run away anymore.]

[You asked the old day to take you to the Source of Light and Dust, so you could see if those familiar faces were still there.]

Time in the ancient Boundless Sea can be traversed at will. The end of time here is almost parallel to the present Boundless Sea, extremely close to "now," but it will not surpass it.

[And the future Boundless Sea will be in the same era as the present Boundless Sea... one second later.]

Yes, one second later.

In the boundless sea of ​​the future, Tang Ming disappeared for 350...275 years, 19 days, and 235 seconds.

[Currently in the Boundless Sea, 350...234 seconds have passed since Tang Ming expelled the future.]

Time flows synchronously within the two boundless oceans; the future is simply a second faster.

Time in the ancient, boundless sea also flows ever forward, measured in absolute units of time as experienced by He Yuan himself.

[If He Yuan lived for ten minutes five million years ago and for thirty minutes four hundred billion years ago, then the total timeline of the ancient Boundless Sea would be extended by forty minutes.]

[...]

Seeing that you honestly confessed, He Yuan smiled and said he was willing to grant your request and take you to Guangchenyuan Soup.

The timeline you are currently in is a century behind the present, and it is not aligned with the current timeline of the Boundless Ocean, which is close to zero.

The Light Dust Source Soup you're heading to has chosen a timeline fourteen years slower than "now."

Even if it's just an old universe, you still want to save those fishermen parents.

[Following the coordinates you provided, you traversed time and space, quickly arriving before a particular universe.]

You: "Brother He, thank you so much!"

He Yuan: "It's alright, it's nothing."

He's very easy to talk to. Since you're willing to honestly step forward and relinquish your future power, and it doesn't involve any matters of principle, then taking you back to your hometown to see... is just a small matter.

"Are we in your dream?"

He Yuan seemed to speak intentionally or unintentionally.

He guessed that you had entered a "dreamlike future," which was why you were able to block out those fluctuations in time.

He's whispering a hint to you: "Brother Yun, in this dream, in this illusory future... what you see is ultimately just an illusion, it can't be taken seriously."

"You should truly arrive here, truly come to this world and universe, and see them in their true form."

"From this day forward, I hereby bestow this segment of time and space upon you."

"You don't need to hide anymore. There's no need to meet them in this illusory future. Even if you see them, they won't see you."

"Come out, meet me in real time and space. Hiding forever... is pointless."

"Oh no, I didn't actually dodge."

"I'm standing right here, you just haven't had time to get here yet."

Yun Shou thought to himself.

Although several days had passed in the simulation, only five seconds had passed in reality.

He Yuan will appear in front of him in twenty seconds.

Even if his simulation attempts are restored a day later, when he uses the simulation again, He Yuan will be by his side from the start, leaving him nowhere to escape.

However, that doesn't prevent him from continuing this simulation.

Yun Shou's longest simulation had never lasted twenty minutes, and he was confident he could stall for that time in front of Jiu Ri.

You said his suggestion was good, but you didn't accept it.

[However, you were still willing to reciprocate: "You've already done a great job by bringing me here. If I eventually become a Dao Lord, I might be able to reserve a Supreme Dao Lord position for you!"]

He Yuan: "...What?"

"And the position reserved for you is that of the Time Dao Lord, who possesses the power of the 'past,' 'present,' and 'future.'"

The man in blue frowned: "Future, what exactly do you mean by that?"

[It means—goodbye!] You wave to him: "Return to the source."

During the process of returning to one's true nature, you unexpectedly discovered a pleasant surprise.

[The Return to Truth has been upgraded and unlocked new features... or more accurately, it has entered a realm where heroes can truly shine, allowing for a more comprehensive display of its abilities.]

You disappeared from the location "100 years ago, coordinates of the Boundless Sea (#$￥#)" and arrived at the location "14 years ago, coordinates of the Boundless Sea (￥%￡&)".
