"So... do you know why I insisted on snatching this little guy from you as my apprentice?"
The old man Wuchang raised his head and looked at the eternal stars dimly.
Wan Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded: "According to what you said, the potential of my apprentice is somewhat beyond my expectations..."
"Originally, I cultivated him as an eternal seed."
"So, his achievements may be higher than imagined?"
The old man Wuchang nodded: "Yes... I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a wicked young man..."
"It's also fortunate that he appeared in our southern region first. The eternity in our area is more casual and emphasizes personal luck."
"If he appeared in other areas of the Lord's Continent, those crazy people who try every possible way to make themselves stronger would definitely capture him and study him carefully."
"I won't let him go until every secret of his is revealed and completely wiped out..."
Hearing this, Wanxing Yongheng was silent for a moment.
Just as the old man Wuchang said, the eternity of the Lord's Continent is not set in stone.
The eternal strong men in different regions have very different styles of doing things.
Some people are willing to sacrifice and give up everything in pursuit of power.
Some people are even willing to fall into the abyss in order to surpass their own limits.
In order to comprehend the profound meaning of "All Things Return to the Abyss", those people in the Northern Territory have turned 7,600 small and medium-sized worlds into dead and silent places.
The Great Compassionate Buddha in the Western Regions is even more extreme. He devours souls in the name of saving the world. This is the description of this person.
The old man Wuchang sighed and said slowly: "So... this little guy has been right to be cautious all along."
"But he underestimated the power of eternity and our sensitivity to these special sources."
Wanxing Yongheng nodded slightly, "So what you mean..."
The old man Wuchang glanced at him and finally expressed his thoughts.
"I want him to learn my [True Explanation of Karma and Impermanence]."
"As my life's work, what I am best at is covering up the origin and reversing cause and effect."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the eyes of the old man Wu Chang: "As long as he enters the first level, even if he uses the origin of the time system casually, it will not be sensed by other eternities."
“And if he can deduce it to the third level, even if other Eternals calculate it themselves, they will never be able to discover his secrets!”
After a pause, he added, "Moreover... when I was practicing the true solution of the impermanence of cause and effect, I felt something in my heart."
"This person seems to be able to play a crucial role in the future war."
"And it seems that there will be some kind of deep connection between you and me..."
Wanxing Yongheng frowned slightly, and understood the fundamental reason why the old man Wuchang was so obsessed with Han Xing.
This old man actually wanted to protect this evildoer, the most terrifying evildoer in the history of the Southern Territory, and perhaps even in the history of the entire Lord Continent...
He didn't want Han Xing to die prematurely, which would be a pity for such a talented person, so he wanted him to understand the [True Explanation of Cause and Effect] to ensure his own safety.
Wan Xing slowly spoke, "But... he is already comprehending my [Starry Sky True Solution], and practicing two eternal true solutions at the same time, even the most gifted monster is at risk of exploding and dying."
"No one in the entire Southern Region has ever done this."
"Plus, I have already announced to the public that Han Xing is my apprentice, which should be enough to guarantee his safety."
Wu Chang shook his head and chuckled, "Wan Xing, you are too naive."
"You have no idea what lengths those lunatics will go to for power."
“If they knew that there is a person who controls a series of basic origins such as time, space, light, darkness, water, and fire.”
"He even awakened the evil spirit of the Origin Saint Body... Not only the Abyss, but the entire Eternity of the Lord Continent will go crazy..."
"Now, everyone regards this era as the last one."
"In order to become the final winner, in order to transcend, they can do anything..."
Having said this, the old man Wuchang has put away his usual cynicism and his eyes have become extremely serious.
Wanxing listened silently.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "Wu Chang, you have lived longer than me, I believe your judgment is correct."
"After he comprehends my [True Explanation of the Starry Sky], you can contact him again and ask him if he is willing to comprehend your [True Explanation of the Impermanence of Cause and Effect]."
The old man Wuchang suddenly narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
Before he could speak, Wan Xing added in a serious tone: "However, before letting him practice, you need to tell him clearly about the risks of comprehending two eternal truths at the same time!"
"At the same time, he cannot be forced or threatened by any means, and everything should be based on his personal wishes."
"Otherwise... let alone you, even if those lunatics from the North Territory and those hypocrites from the West Territory come together, I will let them know."
"I, Wanxing, can still protect one of my apprentices."
There was a hint of threat in his tone.
The old man Wuchang raised his head and looked at him seriously.
Then he chuckled and said, “Nonsense, of course I will explain it to him in advance.”
"Besides, even if he does agree, I will be observing the situation from the side."
"If there is any risk or any sign of loss of control, I will immediately intervene to stop it."
He added: "Compared to the [True Explanation of the Impermanence of Cause and Effect], protecting this evildoer... is more important."
Hearing the serious tone of the old man Wuchang, Wanxing said no more.
Then, the two Eternals continued to stay in this small mountain village, sensing the movements on Han Xing's side from a long distance.
at the same time.
Han Xing is still absorbing massive amounts of the original power of time.
His physical changes became more and more obvious.
For some time before, only lines of time appeared on his body, as if a long river of time was flowing through his body.
As time passed, various strange patterns appeared on his body.
Some of those patterns look like black tortoises, with historical inscriptions engraved on their shells.
Some look like phoenixes, with countless possible branches flashing between their wings.
“Knock, knock… knock, knock…”
His heartbeat became more and more intense, and even all the living creatures in his territory could hear the heartbeat that was like muffled thunder.
This time the breakthrough seemed to take longer than he had imagined.
Previously, when he was transforming into the Tianji Liuguang Step and the Immortal Body, it only took half a month to twenty days.
This time, twenty days have passed, but there is still no sign of a breakthrough.
But... Han Xing is not in a hurry.
After all, only a month has passed since he went into seclusion.
The thirty years of seclusion he had originally planned was just the beginning.
Time passes slowly...
In this way, about half a month passed.
On this day, the long river of time on Han Xing's body suddenly boiled.
The inscriptions on the tortoise shells began to peel off and turned into golden runes that merged into the blood.
The phoenix's phantom let out a clear cry, and the speed of time suddenly changed wherever its wings passed.
His skin gradually became transparent, and he could see countless stars flickering in his blood vessels.
The entire starry sky began to distort due to the rich power of the origin of time around it.
The nearby meteorite belt suddenly weathered at an accelerated rate and turned into dust in the blink of an eye.
Stars farther away fell into a strange stagnation, and the erupting prominences solidified into red crystals.
A ripple of time spanning twelve light years spread out with the Korean star as its center, and stars flickered like a revolving lantern wherever it passed.
Finally... when the last source of time was absorbed into his body, an invisible wave spread from Han Xing's body.
“Buzz…”
A huge clock shadow suddenly appeared behind him, with the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand all stopped at 12 o'clock.
“Click…”
When the second hand took a step forward, the entire star field suddenly fell into absolute stillness.
The floating dust, the leaping original power, and even the starlight in the distance were frozen.
Only Han Xing slowly opened his eyes, the rushing river of time reflected in his pupils.
[Ding! Congratulations on your successful upgrade! ]
[Your skill: 'Body of the Time Beast' has been successfully upgraded to Divine Domain Lord Level 1]
(Note: As the physical body has reached its limit, further upgrades are no longer possible.)
[Ding! Survivor Korean stars, please pay attention! ]
[Due to unknown reasons, the special abilities you control: 'Time Pause' and 'Time Speed' have been integrated into the 'New Time Beast Body'. ]
…
"Success..."
Han Xing opened his mouth slowly, but was surprised to find that his voice had a certain tremor.
It's as if it came from some distant future or past, full of mystery.
He tried a few more sentences and it was the same feeling.
Han Xing stroked his chin and said happily, "Interesting...even my voice has changed?"
"Could this be the legendary bass?"
In addition, he also found that the space and time around him was still in a static state.
And there was the huge clock looming behind him.
Han Xing turned his head and stared at the shadow of the clock.
The second hand above moved forward one second and then stopped again.
But Han Xing had a strange feeling.
"I seem to be able to control this time and space?"
As his mind moved.
“Click…”
The second hand moved forward one more tick, and the starry sky in front of Han Xing suddenly accelerated.
The originally still starlight suddenly stretched out into brilliant trails, and the stars in the distance began to rotate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, when the second hand stopped, the surrounding scene froze again!
"Hmm? Really!"
A look of surprise flashed in Han Xing's eyes, but he calmed down after a moment.
After all, he already possessed the power of [Stop Time] long before he transformed into the [Body of Time Beast].
It’s just that it wasn’t expressed in the form of a clock like it is now.
But now, it is much clearer.
He also knew that it was probably related to that system prompt.
He integrated his two originally independent skills: time stop and time acceleration, into the body of the time beast.
This is a very good thing for him.
After all, if he has three skills, he will need to consume three times the time essence to upgrade.
Now that everything is concentrated together, it means that he only needs to consume one amount to get three amounts of gains.
Han Xing nodded with satisfaction, thinking: "Since it has been integrated, let me see... my limit can stop time for a few seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, his mind moved.
“Click… click…”
The second hand continued to move forward, and moved forward seven times in a row!
If the first two frames are counted, it means that he has paused time for 9 seconds!
After coming to this number, Han Xing took a deep breath and shock appeared in his eyes again.
“Oh my god… I knew this transformation might be exaggerated, but I didn’t expect it to be this outrageous!”
"A full 9 seconds! According to my guess, my pause limit should be 10 seconds!"
"This long time is even enough for me to use all my skills and run a very long distance at the same time."
Han Xing thought happily.
At the same time, he also felt his own limits.
If you continue to move the second hand forward one grid, this time pause state will disappear.
At this moment, a special idea popped up in Han Xing's mind.
"Since... time can be stopped and moved forward..."
"So... can I make time move backwards and achieve the effect of time flowing in reverse?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Han Xing's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
He carefully tried to use his mind to move the shadow of the clock behind him.
“Click…”
The second hand actually went back one tick!
In an instant, Han Xing saw the white air he had just exhaled return to his mouth, the scattered dust flew back to its original position, and even the original power flowing in his body was running in the opposite direction.
"This...is this really time going backwards?!"
Han Xing looked at this scene in shock, his eyes full of disbelief!
You know, before this, although he also controlled the power of time, he could only stop and accelerate time.
Although it is possible to turn back time, it requires the power of the holy armor.
At the cost of the entire armor being destroyed, the situation was reversed back to one hour ago.
However...from Han Xing's current understanding, it is not the flow of time, but more like the ability to restart the timeline...
Therefore, this discovery shocked him so much!
After all, compared to stopping and accelerating time, the ability to reverse time is even more amazing!
In many cases, this ability can save lives!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and whispered: "Now, we need to confirm the ability of this [Time Reversal], how many seconds can it reverse at most..."
So he continued to control the seconds to go backwards.
“Click… click…”
As the sound of the second hand ticking continued, the surrounding star field scenes were constantly changing.
It was not until the fourth second that Han Xing felt a strong sense of dizziness.
Obviously, he has reached his limit now.
"call……"
Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It seems that time pause + time acceleration have been integrated together, which means that I can pause and accelerate time for a maximum of ten seconds."
"And if time goes back, it's only half, about five seconds."
