In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
You used time travel to jump back three and a half years.
[Then I went to the Origin Universe and learned from the people there that I was indeed more than three years closer to the lower reaches of the Ancient Boundless Sea.]
[Following the previous analogy, the end of time in the ancient Boundless Sea was still 204 years, but you have traveled from 190 years to 194 years!]
One year later, the time-travel ability has been restored.
[The end of the ancient, boundless sea stretches to 205 years ago; you jumped from 195 to 198 years ago.]
Another year has passed, and only three years and four months remain until the end of time.
Your time jump limit is three years and five months.
This means that once your time jump cooldown is restored in another year, you will be able to jump out of the lower reaches of the River of Time in the ancient Boundless Sea and arrive in a future timeline that has not yet been created!
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
[You repeatedly traveled to the Origin Universe to learn about the points in time from the ancient Dao Lords there.]
Then, it jumped 0.01 seconds further back to the end.
Yun Shou: "..."
You have entered a desolate area.
This is not the future; the concept of time hasn't even been born here. This is a place where time has yet to flow and reach!
But with your arrival, this place has become the future.
[A vast emptiness, seemingly devoid of any future.]
The absolute emptiness was so profound that it even made you a little apprehensive.
[After 0.01 seconds, you feel this future slipping away from you.]
[Because you were chased by the ever-flowing Ancient Boundless Sea, you were pulled back into it, and your current point in time has fallen to the downstream end of the Ancient Boundless Sea!]
"A bit of a fan."
You shook your head. Although you could survive in that future, a future unreached by time, possessing the power over it, it would be too lonely, too vast!
[0.01 seconds is more than the blink of an eye for an average person.]
But for you... that was even harder to endure than the six months it took to get through a single test.
That's a "state of nothingness" where all matter, space, and time cease to exist. Staying in that kind of hellish place is trillions of times more lonely than staying in a so-called deep-sea submarine!
If you could, you really wouldn't want to stay in that place that doesn't exist, not even for a second!
The only fortunate thing is that in that illusory future, even time stopped flowing, since "time" doesn't exist there. This meant you weren't permanently trapped there; you were instantly "sucked" back into the boundless ancient sea.
[Already behaving honestly.jpg]
You choose to wait for him patiently for ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years later... let's sound out He Yuan's clone again and see if he's calmed down.
[You are now wandering leisurely through the heavens, from the original source of light and dust to the present.]
This universe is home to many strange races, including nine divine races, ten ancient fiends, and twelve other species.
The Nine Divine Races represent nine supreme races in the universe, each possessing at least one "Ancestral God (a True Immortal with a resonance level of one billion)."
[Among certain silicon-based life forms, the "Prison Clan," whose bodies resemble crystals, is one such species.]
"Where can I find jade feet?"
The "Ten Ancient Fiends" refers to ten extremely ferocious species that have survived from the Primordial Era to the present day. They are mostly solitary beings, rarely forming factions or groups.
[For example, the number one attacker of all living beings in the heavens: Nawei.]
It's a tiny insect similar to a mantis shrimp. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the racial talent, and the smaller the size—but the more terrifying the attack power!
A single, full-force attack from a Nawei cultivator at the early stage of the Fourth Realm could shatter a planet tens of thousands of miles in diameter!
It's not that their cultivation systems are particularly powerful... it's just that He Yuan changed the multiplier.
The maximum potential of the Holy Body in the Boundless Sea of the Past is already more than 360 times greater.
However, exceeding a certain intensity also comes at a price.
[Navi's racial stat attack multiplier is 350,000 times, but the cost is an extremely low birth rate and numerous personality and physiological defects, etc.]
"If one's racial stats are terrifyingly high, could they possibly defeat a True Immortal when they are at the sixth realm and thirty thousand heavens?"
Yun Shou did some mental calculations and concluded that it was still impossible.
1 Dao force equals 1e26 thorns
The average Dao Seal quality is 9, and the base value of the Six Realms of the Thirty Thousand Heavens is 4e13.
This means that the ratio of the Eucharist must reach "trillions".
A mere 350,000 times... the purity is still too low.
"It doesn't feel as good as my dual nature."
As for the final twelve anomalies, they refer to those unconventional, extremely strange, yet remarkably powerful creatures within the Fallen Heavens.
"Skylight" is one such phenomenon; it's a radiant glow, an extreme natural phenomenon that can spread across a galaxy for millions of light-years, swallowing up a section of the night sky. However, it is also a strange, living entity.
[There is overlap between the above three major groups; for example, the Nawei are both among the "Ten Ancient Fiends" and the "Twelve Different Species."]
[Besides those cosmic star races, you also noticed a river of turbulent time flows within the Emperor's Fall universe, known as the Primordial Time River.]
The "Nine-Nine Clan," one of the nine great divine clans, resides here.
The Nine-Nine Clan... is less a race and more a sect that cultivates special bloodline techniques.
The Nine-Nine Bloodline is divided into three tiers: the first tier is 29 (18 heads); the second tier is 99 (81 heads); and the third tier is the perfect Nine-Nine Bloodline (99 heads).
[Any other life form that joins the Nine-Nine Clan can inherit the "Nine-Nine Bloodline" after multiple generations of interbreeding.]
For example, a normal, ordinary stray dog, after joining the "Nine-Nine Clan" and reproducing for many generations, will become a dog with eighteen heads. Further purification of the bloodline will result in a dog with eighty-one heads.
These heads serve no other purpose; they neither provide combat power nor extend lifespan, and may even cause side effects such as schizophrenia.
But its most important capability makes up for those shortcomings: it has as many lives as it has heads!
[An attack that would normally annihilate them completely can be withstood by sacrificing just one head, and they will revive unharmed on the spot!]
[When facing a creature with eighty-one heads, you can't simply cut off all eighty-one heads to defeat it; you have to obliterate all eighty-one heads, including their bodies, eighty-one times to kill it!]
[Each time it is killed, it revives in a manner similar to particle recombination, and its damaged state is fully restored. Only a Celestial Realm cultivator with special abilities (a True Immortal possessing the corresponding Dao Law) can completely obliterate it.]
