The punishment of the "Eternal Wrong Taste" was like the most twisted condiment bottle, completely marinating the four nations' last ambitions in the realm of flavor. The divine pillars were transformed into sauce, the Zen Master went berserk, and the royal city launched a "Chaos Food Festival." Even the sheath of the Guihong Ruler was secretly smeared with honey by Sanbao (later licked clean by Lingbao). The most popular decoration in the dining hall was the "Five Flavors Divine Pillar Concentrated Essence Bottle"—the Stanley Pillar honeydew for dipping barbecue, the Black Pillar coffee powder for sprinkling desserts, the White Pillar sea salt with fresh fruit, the Green Pillar plum powder for mixing cold drinks, and the Yellow Pillar oyster sauce for stewing all kinds of delicacies.
Inside the General's Mansion, Lingbao's taste bud conquests came to an end, but the tentacles of the Chaos Origin quietly reached the lines of time. Her limpid eyes no longer merely reflected the taste of the present, but began to capture the traces of time that flowed through objects. She often stared at ordinary objects in a trance, her little finger pointing at the "growth rings" invisible to ordinary people.
"Stone...circles!" Lingbao crouched in the corner of the courtyard, her tiny finger pointing at an ordinary, moss-covered pebble, excitedly poking at the surface with her chubby hand. While the stone surface appeared smooth to everyone else, she saw circles of pale golden light, like the rings of a tree. "So many! So bright!" She counted the nonexistent "rings," her face filled with the joy of discovering a treasure.
Xiao Jue's movements of wiping the Guihong ruler suddenly froze. He followed his daughter's gaze to the stone that looked normal, a hint of surprise flashing across his cold brows. The moment Lingbao's fingertips touched the stone, the sheath of the Guihong ruler was covered with an imperceptible halo of time, like ripples on water. He put the ruler down, walked to Lingbao, and squatted on one knee. Lingbao immediately grabbed his father's fingers, guided them to press on the "annual rings" of the stone: "Daddy! Touch! Circles of warmth!"
Xiao Jue's fingertips touched the cool stone surface. In a dimension imperceptible to ordinary humans, a faint yet real current of time's warmth quietly flowed through his fingertips. It was the memory of the stone's millennia of sleep at the riverbed, caressed by the current, warmed by the sun, and inhabited by the moss of life. The seemingly frozen aura of murderous intent that had long lingered around the Guihong ruler was, in this subtle warmth of time, quietly loosening like the first thaw of spring ice.
**Section 1: Time Amber and Growth Barrier**
The unusual movements of Lingbao's "Time Observer" struck like thunder over the remaining fatalists of the Four Nations. Time! The source of chaos began to touch the life scale of all things! What did this mean? It meant that she could not only experience the present, but also "see" through the past and the future! If she were allowed to spy, wouldn't the "chain of time" that maintained the hierarchy and solidified the fate of the Four Nations be on the verge of collapse?
"We must freeze it! Nip the buds of chaos in the amber of time!" The fate-makers cried hysterically before the star chart. "Activate the 'Eternal Sands' plan! Draw the vitality of the royal capital's veins, condense 'time amber', and cover the entire area! Make the grass and trees stop growing, freeze the cries of infants, and let all things fall into absolute stillness! Create an 'eternal moment', and let the budding hearts wither in despair!"
"But... the Chaos Taste Method guarantees the enjoyment of life..."
"Freezing time isn't an attack? That's 'eternity'!"
"She broke the ice with time? 'Wrong Taste Man'-senpai is still eating nightmare food for eternity..."
The plan was launched. The ground veins of the four capitals were being siphoned frantically. The invisible force of time seeped from the ground like sticky resin, rapidly covering the entire city! Buds in the courtyards froze in place, children running in the streets froze in their raised feet, and even the falling leaves hung in mid-air, as if sealed in a vast amber! Even more terrifying, a force field known as "fate stagnation" spread—it harmed no one, but instilled in all living things a deep, inescapable despair of "eternal now"!
That morning, Lingbao ran to the window as usual, to observe the pot of Emerald Lily of the Valley. The buds that were still bulging yesterday should have bloomed today.
"Huahua..." Her cheer got stuck in her throat.
The bud froze in its moment of impending bloom, its emerald green leaves stiff as iron, even a drop of morning dew hovering on its tip motionless. A heavy, suffocating feeling of stagnation gripped Lingbao's small chest like an icy iron hoop. She instinctively felt a surge of panic—her flower was no longer growing! Her world had stopped moving!
"Ooooo… Huahua… die…" Lingbao's face instantly turned pale, tears streaming down her cheeks as her body trembled with fear. She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the frozen bud, but her fingertips were violently repelled the moment they touched the icy "amber"!
"Bad guy! Dong Meimei's Huahua!" Erbao Su Heng flashed in an instant like an enraged guardian elf! The golden pacifier burst into an unprecedented emerald green light full of vigorous vitality!
**[Golden Pacifier Time Guardian Ultimate Form: Sprouting Buds·Absolute Growth Field! 】**
The vibrant green light is like a spring bud breaking through the ground, instantly expanding an area!
The sticky "time amber" seemed to have met its nemesis under the green light, and quickly softened, cracked, and evaporated!
The desperate force field of "Fate Stagnation" was destroyed and dispersed by the surging torrent of life in the field!
