Fang Xiu seemed not to hear, but instead continued to observe Jiang Mengyue's aging. To make it easier to observe, he even deliberately slowed down the acceleration of time so that Jiang Mengyue would not die too quickly.
After watching for a while, he couldn't help but frown, because apart from Jiang Mengyue's lifespan constantly decreasing, her stunningly beautiful face had not changed at all. It seemed that although demigods could not achieve immortality, they could at least remain ageless.
This kind of aging, invisible to the naked eye, is not what he wants.
At this moment, the voice of the Kunlun maggot suddenly rang out: "My lord, what you are doing is useless, because this is not the passage of time that belongs to Jiang Mengyue herself, but the result of your forced intervention. It's like you want to observe the ripples on the lake, but you throw in a stone, and the ripples you observe become the ripples you created."
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Fang Xiu's calm voice sent shivers down the spine of the Kunlun maggot.
"No, you...you didn't even ask me." Kunlun Maggot's voice was almost crying; he already had a premonition that he was about to be in trouble again.
But before it could suffer its misfortune, with a loud bang, Jiang Mengyue self-destructed.
She didn't have much time left to live, and now that Fang Xiu had messed with her like this, she naturally decided to die together with him.
Fang Xiu did not become intangible this time because he was too lazy to commit suicide.

"If I can't forcibly change the temporal state of all things in the world, how am I supposed to observe the time of all things in the world? Am I just supposed to keep watching them?"
"My lord, this is the best way at present. You can start with the simplest thing, such as growing a potted plant and watching it sprout, bloom, bear fruit, and wither. Later, you can observe the life of a mortal, observe his birth, aging, sickness and death, and the passage of time."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu fell silent.
He knew that the method the Kunlun maggot had described was correct. It was indeed the best and most intuitive way to observe time. After all, time is an ethereal thing. In a void, time is nothingness. But in all things in the world, time is birth, aging, sickness, and death, the blooming and withering of flowers, and the changing of the world.
Therefore, observation time must be done with the help of a reference point.
The problem is that the time cost is too high.
Observing an ordinary person's life, even if they don't live to be a hundred, still takes several decades. Moreover, this time span cannot be exploited by rewinding time after death. Most importantly, given the profound nature of the Great Dao of Time, is it possible to comprehend it by observing an ordinary person for several decades? It's definitely impossible; we don't know how long it would take to observe them.
However, he only has less than a hundred years. If he continues at this pace, he will still be at the sixth level a hundred years from now. How can he become a god?
Is there any way to quickly observe a person's entire life?
After a moment's thought, the Kunlun maggot said, "Yes."
"What method?"
"Predicting the future!"
"Predicting the future?" Fang Xiu was slightly dazed. He hadn't expected that his constant claim that he could see the future, which had convinced everyone that he could predict the future, would ultimately lead to this point.
He is ultimately not a predictor of the future in the traditional sense.
As the Kunlun maggot said, predicting the future is indeed the fastest way to observe a person's entire life, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
"Besides predicting the future?"
The Kunlun maggot thought for a moment and said, "Looking at a person's past, from the past to the present, is also a change of time."
"Past...Future..."
Upon hearing these two words, Fang Xiu vaguely grasped something.
Suddenly, a word came to his mind.
Deducing the past and future—isn't that fortune telling?
Fortune telling can predict not only the past and future, but even past and present lives.
In the Nine Provinces, there exists a group of people called Celestial Masters. They claim to be able to deduce the secrets of heaven and calculate a person's past and future. A truly powerful Celestial Master is highly respected wherever he goes, because the path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against heaven, earth, and man, filled with tribulations. If one could learn about one's fate in advance through a Celestial Master and prepare accordingly, one would have a greater chance of survival, or even defy fate.
Once one becomes a diviner, one can quickly see a person's past and future by predicting their destiny.
When fate is mentioned, a figure involuntarily comes to mind for Fang Xiu.
Zhou Qingfeng!
Once destined by fate, and possessing the power of destiny.
It's not hard to deduce that the law condensed by Zhou Qingfeng at the seventh level must be a special law, like the law of time—the law of fate!
Zhou Qingfeng possessed the ability to see a person's fate. He knew many things and even began to plan his own destiny at the beginning of his transmigration. All of this was due to the power of fate.
If it weren't for the power of fate, how would he have known that a transmigrator had appeared in this world?
Even the subsequent arrangements were all under his control, which is a manifestation of the power of destiny.
The past, the future... all are destiny. Fortune telling is about destiny.
If one possesses Zhou Qingfeng's power of destiny, one will surely be able to condense the laws of time!
Fang Xiu didn't know the extent to which the Celestial Masters of Kyushu could predict fate, but he thought that if Zhou Qingfeng learned the art of divination, he would definitely be the strongest Celestial Master in the world.
Because Zhou Qingfeng was once the chosen one, something that no one else could ever match. If he weren't the chosen one, he wouldn't be able to condense the laws of destiny.
Just like myself, if it weren't for the death rollback, I probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend even the first Time Rift.
But... Zhou Qingfeng's original body is still in the River of Destiny, so how can we obtain his abilities?
