"I come from the future."
Wang Xiaohai could not lie, as such an existence could see through everything he had experienced since coming to this Yuan Dynasty world.
"No wonder, I saw a mist behind you." Duan said, "This is the first time there is an existence that I can't see through, it's just the Creation Realm." Under his observation, the Creation Realm and even the Chaos Realm are like transparent jellyfish.
"What is your current realm?" Wang Xiaohai asked via voice transmission.
He is quite curious. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, but he is not a cat. He believes in Manyuyu's second theory of time and space. If he is still alive in the future, then he will be fine in the past.
"The Source Realm, the source of everything, allows one to use the power of the origin." Duan said, "But the Source Realm is innate and cannot be reached later. At least I haven't seen it."
"You have only lived for five eras. Maybe if you wait a little longer you will meet him," said Wang Xiaohai.
"You know what? Generally, anyone who dares to question my creative realm is crushed to death by me like a bug." Duan said, "But you are different. I am willing to answer you because, like you, I have the ability to travel through chaotic time. I have seen a very distant future, so far away that you can't even imagine it."
“Will the future not change?”
Wang Xiaohai was talking to Duan across a distance of nearly 100 million universes. He was surrounded by noisy tribesmen and no one would notice him. However, his whole body did not move at all, so no one could notice him.
"Let me see."
Duan's body disappeared in the middle of the stone platform and reappeared half a second later.
"The future is shrouded in fog, and we can no longer travel through it." Duan's voice appeared near Wang Xiaohai. "I guess this is the reason for your appearance. I seem to know your origins. The fog will only dissipate after you leave this time period."
"Really? Why can't I travel through the time period I'm in?"
"It's a protective mechanism, preventing time travelers from trying to kill you. You'll always be weak at times," explained Tu Tribe Chief Duan. "When you're still a mortal, even if you encounter a true god, no matter how powerful you are, you'll be no match."
"Then wouldn't I be dead if I met you now?"
"Of course not. You are lucky to have met me because I have no ill will towards you. I will also grant you the power of protection."
Duan raised his hand, and Wang Xiaohai instantly felt a layer of protective film in his body, wrapping him up like an egg.
"What's this?"
"This is the protection I gave you. It's actually not very useful. It's just to prevent people like me from spying on you. Now that you've walked up to them, they'll see you as just an ordinary member of their tribe. There's no difference."
"Why are you helping me?"
"I want a promise," Duan said, "When you grow to my level, allow me to live."
"It's been a long time, but since you're not against me, I have no reason to target you." Wang Xiaohai said, "Also, why do you think I can reach your level? Even if we were at the same level, I wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat you."
"I'm an investment. I think you might be stronger than me in the future because I can't penetrate the fog of time and space that protects you."
Duan sighed and looked into the void of chaos.
"Excuse me for being so bold." Wang Xiaohai hesitated for a moment and said, "You will die in the next battle among the five tribes." He didn't know whether revealing it would lead to bad changes in the future.
"I know. I have been to the future. As long as you are not there, there is no time fog." Duan said calmly.
"You knew you would die in the Five Clans War, so why didn't you avoid it?"
"It's unavoidable. A man faces the sun crashing into his planet. Can he avoid it?"
"But they are only on the same level as you."
"Even those at the same level have their strengths and weaknesses. Even if I can fight them for a trillion years, I will still lose after a trillion and one years." Patriarch Duan said as he pointed his finger at the void. Of course, others could not see his movements.
A shining book appeared in front of Wang Xiaohai, and he reached out and opened the first page of the book.
The first page of the book turned into a movie window, showing a battle between five clan leaders, three against two. The two held on for countless billions of years and finally fell.
"Can you observe your future self?" Wang Xiaohai found it hard to believe. "Then you could go there in one second, then two seconds... almost infinitely. And then an infinite number of you could attack at once. Who could withstand that?"
"This won't work. If it can, my opponent can do the same." Duan said, "We fight by relying on the power of the origin, such as my earth element origin. The body is just a transmission body, not much stronger than the body of the Chaos Realm."
"did you mean?"
"Chaos has only one source, like a bucket of water. If I go there, I'm only scooping up water from that bucket. Even if there are ten thousand of me, I'm only scooping up water from that one bucket. Do you understand what I mean?"
"But you lost the fight and died." Wang Xiaohai said regretfully, "It was really fun chatting with you."
"We will not die." Duan continued.
"Why aren't you dead? I saw the image you gave me. You were indeed shattered, without even a single cell left."
"That counts as death, then." Duan replied, "But you forget that our realm can travel through the chaotic time rules. This means that I can directly travel to the future and avoid the battle."
Wang Xiaohai was stunned when he heard this. This was beyond his imagination. It turned out that the rules of time could be manipulated in this way. To do this, he would need to kill all the existences of the time period, not missing a single second! Because if he killed one second less, he could travel through time at will and become infinite again!
It is impossible not to miss a single second, because time can be infinitely refined without breakpoints, just like pi cannot be calculated in low dimensions. Therefore, the existence of the Source Realm is eternal and indestructible!
"Then why didn't I meet you in the future?" Wang Xiaohai said, "You can go from the present to the future."
"Because the era you live in is full of fog, and I don't like it." The Earth Clan leader said, "After the defeat of Wood Clan leader Suo and I, we will become free wanderers, wandering through time. We will not seek out those three to fight again, because there's no point in being beaten without victory. Without the Chaos Academy and the Great Yuan World, we can go wherever we want. These are all constraints."
"What secrets does Chaos Academy have?"
"You'll know that later."
"How can I become a Source Realm?"
"You should ask yourself about this. We are born with this power and haven't experienced the process of going from the Chaos Realm to the Origin Realm." Duan said, "We are born with the power of the Origin, just like ordinary people are born with one eye. If you ask them how to grow an extra eye, they definitely don't know."
"I guess you have a guess." Wang Xiaohai said in a voice transmission.
"Yes, I guess it's about gaining recognition from the source power, but now the five source powers all have their own masters."
Wang Xiaohai stopped talking, remained silent, and waited quietly.
