Chapter 205 Extending Life
Chapter 205
The space-time storm swept across the entire outer plane, as vast as a tide, as if tearing the heaven and earth apart and disrupting the order and rhythm of time.
Waves of silver-white torrents roared in from the depths of the void, washing over the space like invisible torrents, turning the originally stable flow of time here upside down.
In the center of the storm, time ran wild like a wild beast.
One day there, looking at the outside world, is almost equivalent to a hundred years.
Even a powerful legendary wizard, if caught in it, could die of old age in the blink of an eye if he is not careful.
The further they went to the periphery, the weaker the impact of the space-time storm became, but it was still enough to make all the strong men change their faces.
Noticing this horrifying time disorder, many powerful men were horrified and fled from the area swept by the storm.
Fortunately, the center of this silver-white storm fell on the second battlefield.
If it falls on the first battlefield, the place where the goddess's followers and the wizard army are fighting.
I am afraid that countless lives will be swallowed up by this sudden torrent of aging time.
In the center of the second battlefield, the armies of both sides, which were originally in a stalemate, were simply unable to maintain their formation in the raging storm.
A silvery-white wind swept past, and countless low-level mages and first-level wizards aged and deformed in an instant.
Their lifespan was originally no more than two or three hundred years, and in the center of the storm, those remaining hundred years were gone in a flash.
The wind whistled like a knife, and the divine power was like a wave. In this alienated time realm, the battlefield turned into a theater of death.
In the core area of the storm, the speed of time is not constant, but constantly distorted and changed, causing the transmission of information between each other to become blurred and confused.
Many wizards even have difficulty communicating with their comrades who are just a few feet away.
Some people watched their companions' faces age at a rate visible to the naked eye, their skin became cracked, their hair became dry and white, and eventually they were blown away like ashes in the wind, leaving only a handful of dust.
What’s even more frightening is that the storm does not favor any side.
Be it believers loyal to the Goddess of the Demon Net or wizards pursuing the mystery, no matter their level, they are all caught in this time and space storm.
Even a powerful person at the legendary level cannot be completely immune.
In the 13th War Fortress, the silence in the command room seemed to have been emptied of the sound of time.
At this moment, Lin En was still imprisoned by the great wizard Yode and could not move at all.
He was still thinking about how to escape, but suddenly he noticed that the scene around him suddenly changed.
The storm seeps in quietly.
Lynn felt as if everything in front of him was being pulled violently by an invisible hand.
The originally solid and dazzling metal walls quickly became mottled and decayed, and the gleaming carvings of the magic circle also began to fade, like a ruin after thousands of years of wind and sand erosion.
The great wizard Yod, who was opposite him, originally had a look as sharp as a blade and full of murderous intent, but now he looked terrified, and his hawk-like eyes flashed with unprecedented panic.
Great Wizard Yod stretched out a trembling hand, as if he wanted to reach for Lin En's forehead.
However, before the raised hand touched Lin En's forehead, it began to shrivel, crack, and weather at an alarming speed! There were only a few "crackling" sounds, and the sound like shattering glass echoed in the command room.
The next moment, the powerful wizard turned into a pile of ashes in front of Lin En.
His figure seemed to have endured the oppression of ten thousand years, and quietly collapsed under the weight of time.
Lin En stared blankly at the ashes drifting in the wind, his eyes dazed, as if he was still immersed in the shock of that moment just now.
His pupils reflected the silvery-white chaotic light at the center of the storm. The light was like tiny stars tumbling in the darkness, but it carried a strange aura of coldness and destruction.
His heart was beating wildly, cold sweat was oozing from his palms, and his face was pale with fear and shock.
"Lynn, something's wrong with you!"
A low, anxious voice suddenly exploded in his ears. It was Fengshu.
Even though it is extremely weak at this moment, it still forces itself to wake up from its slumber just to deliver crucial information.
"Have you entered some kind of secret place? There is something wrong with the flow of time there..."
"You must be careful and never move! The speed of time flow between some spaces is very different... You may only step half a foot into it, and the other half of your body will age a thousand years in an instant and turn into dust in an instant!"
"Next you have to..."
Maple Tree's voice was more tense and urgent than ever before. Even though it was a spiritual communication, Lynn could still clearly feel the panic and worry in its tone.
It seemed that if he hesitated for a moment, he would be completely killed in this storm.
However, before he could finish his words, the voice suddenly stopped.
Lin En looked down at his chest. A green light was still flickering faintly. It was the last trace left by the maple tree before it fell asleep.
He knew that the other person had fallen into a coma again.
The maple tree was already seriously injured and forcing itself to wake up was already its limit. In this strange and dangerous place where time was disordered, it simply could not hold on for too long.
However, the brief reminder was enough for Lin En to sort out the current situation.
"The speed of time... is similar to one day in heaven equaling one year on earth? No, it's much more exaggerated than that."
He murmured, his eyes falling on the ashes again.
Those are the remains of the great wizard Yod.
Not too long ago, he was a powerful third-level wizard with astonishing strength and formidable power.
But now, in just a blink of an eye, it was as if eroded by endless time, the vitality was extinguished, and it turned into dust.
Lin En remembered very clearly how ferocious the expression of the great wizard Youde was just now, as if he wanted to deal a fatal blow to him.
But he failed in the end. The hand that was about to fall quickly cracked and fell off like rotten wood before it reached him.
Then the whole person quickly aged and finally collapsed in the tearing of the storm.
Did he escape? Or was it because they were not in the same time dimension and the other party could not do anything to him? Lin En was not sure.
But he could feel that he had indeed just had a brush with death.
"Don't move... Don't move..."
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Although he was so close to the great wizard Yode, it seemed as if there was a time gap of thousands of years between them.
Even if you just move one step, you may step into another realm where time flows faster, and suffer unbearable consequences.
Lin En didn't move at all, standing there like a statue, as if if he moved his toes even a little, he would enter another time flow.
His forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and those fine beads of sweat slowly slid down his cheeks, but he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe them away.
If he made the slightest mistake, he would be drawn into another terrifying time vortex like the great wizard Yoder, and his life span would be consumed in an instant...
"Maple Tree hasn't said what to do yet... How can we solve this problem..."
Lynn's murmurs revealed a rare panic and helplessness.
His face was as pale as paper and his heart felt like it was being hit by a hammer. He had never felt the approach of death so clearly.
He did not die in the Spirit Eye Furnace that he had just crossed over, nor did he die in the strange landscape or while being chased by the Furnace Stone.
But this time in the plane war, he felt for the first time that life might stop here...
This was probably the closest he ever came to death.
He did not die at the hands of an external enemy, but died at the end of his own life.
Fortunately, he had just successfully broken through to the second-level wizard, and his lifespan was extended to five hundred years.
For ordinary people, this is a miracle that is beyond their reach.
But in this space where time is disordered and flow is unbalanced, five hundred years may just be a blink of an eye.
He thought of the great wizard Yod, that originally powerful being, but in this strange storm, it seemed as if time had quickly eroded him into dry bones. He didn't even have the chance to resist, and just crumbled into ashes.
The scene was so clear that it seemed to be imprinted deep in Lynn's mind and could not be erased.
"Don't panic... don't move..."
Lynn took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and forced herself to suppress her fear with reason.
"How can we break this situation... Do we have to rely on the spirit of the blue sky?"
He knew that he was trapped in a special time flow zone at the moment.
Although it was much slower than the section where the great wizard Yod was, it was still despairingly fast compared to the outside world.
Although he has a lifespan of 500 years, if he stays here for too long, it would be equivalent to exhausting his entire life in a brief moment in the outside world.
Just like what he had just witnessed.
The great wizard Yod simply approached him in another "time layer", but instantly became old and gray.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, Youde's action was just a moment of raising his hand, but in that "dimension", it had been a thousand years of decay.
So how can I save myself? Lin En's mind raced, and the first thing he thought of was to use the spirit of the blue sky.
Just like the maple tree, the soul temporarily resides in the extraordinary plant and takes refuge inside it with the help of the divine power of the spirit of the blue sky.
The Spirit of the Blue Sky, as a part of the divinity split from the main god, possesses the characteristic of "immortality".
If you can get inside it, you may be able to temporarily avoid the threat of death brought by the speed of time.
"Extraordinary plant... Ivgrid? I think I still have a trick up my sleeve!"
A thought flashed through Lin En's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin En was not sure whether he could hide in the Spirit of the Blue Sky, but another method seemed to be just the right way to deal with the current situation!
Living and dying together, a must-learn for every natural wizard, allows natural wizards to achieve a deep spiritual fusion with extraordinary plants.
By then, Lynn will be Ivgrid!
He clearly remembered that when he was a garrison wizard in the garrison castle, he discovered a unique resource that could completely extend the life of extraordinary plants! Frozen soil!
Lynn captured the importance of the frozen ground to nature wizards the moment he saw it.
Therefore, he spent almost all of his military achievements on the permafrost, and almost monopolized the permafrost in this plane of world!
However, Lin En thought that the frozen soil could only be transformed after he returned to the wizarding world in the future and communicated with other natural wizards.
But at this moment, it seems that frozen soil can be used to break this situation! However, just when he caught this idea.
The world is changing dramatically!
Boom! A low sound like the roar of a heavenly drum echoed in the void, and a silvery-white gale suddenly surged above the sky, like thousands of spirit snakes winding and circling in the sky.
They drive a violent torrent of energy, like invisible saw blades, tearing chaotic cracks in the cracks of time and space.
Wherever the storm moved, the speed of time changed dramatically, as if countless worlds overlapped, collapsed, and regenerated on the same land! Lin En's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sense of uneasiness exploded in his chest.
This silver-white space-time storm seemed to have undergone a new mutation. Its internal laws suddenly became disordered, broken and reorganized, bringing about a deeper level of chaos and uncertainty.
And because of this change, Lin En's heart suddenly shook. The change of the storm would inevitably implicate him! Thinking of this, he no longer dared to hesitate. He immediately waved his hand, and the cold air suddenly surged.
Countless ice-blue frozen soils spread out from the void, layer upon layer, surrounding and covering him, as if forming a quiet area isolated from the world.
At the moment when the permafrost was formed, a tall and lush tree suddenly appeared behind him, with luxuriant branches and leaves and strong roots. It was his extraordinary plant Ifgrid.
Lin En's eyes were solemn as he slowly took a step back and gradually merged with the shadow of the tree.
His back turned into a faint light and slowly sank into Ifgrid's body. His soul merged with it, and his breath suddenly became restrained and long.
At the same time, Ifgrid stood on the frozen ground, and the branches trembled, as if it sensed the distortion of time around it and the threat of the storm.
It began to shrink itself rapidly, with its branches and leaves tangling and its roots curling up, condensing and compressing the huge tree body to the extreme.
Like a silent seed, it strives to minimize its exposure area and reduce the erosion of the external flow of time on itself.
Lynn's soul took deep root in Ifgrid, sinking into the frozen soil. He felt the life force contained in the chill, which continuously nourished his symbiotic body with the plants.
As part of the laws of nature, permafrost has the ability to regulate time and can delay the consumption of life by slowing down the flow of time.
It is precisely this slowing-down effect that allows Lynn's "existence time" to remain within a controllable range even as time outside seems to be growing rapidly.
He vaguely sensed that shortly after he disappeared into Ifgrid, the metal floor of the war fortress beneath his feet had undergone subtle changes again.
The metal surface, which was already slightly rusted, was now decaying, peeling off, and turning into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The metal plate where his left foot had originally stood had completely collapsed, turning into nothingness...
If he had not merged with Ifgrid in advance and shrunk his body into the frozen ground.
I'm afraid that at this moment, he has become a handful of nameless dust like that piece of metal, annihilated in this ever-changing space and time.
A wave of fear rose in his heart like a cold wind, making him shudder.
"...The effectiveness of the frozen soil is weakening. I have to keep replenishing it to maintain this layer of protection..."
Lynn sensed the decline in the effectiveness of the permafrost in Ifgrid's body, and immediately replenished the permafrost to cover the dry land again.
As the frozen soil replenished, the familiar icy yet stable feeling enveloped him again, relaxing his tense emotions slightly and the trembling of his soul gradually subsided.
As time passed, the raging time and space storm did not end immediately.
The silvery-white airflow constantly shuttles between heaven and earth, like a giant net spanning all things, tirelessly capturing every fragile existence.
The storm changed several times, the heaven and earth shook, the time sequence was disrupted, and the entire space seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
But Lynn managed to avoid several fatal attacks thanks to Ifgrid's stealth form and the slowing protection of the frozen soil.
Finally, after several violent distortions, the space-time storm seemed to gradually subside, the silver light began to dissipate, and the flow of time around gradually stabilized.
However, Lynn did not dare to act rashly.
He knew that the storm in this space could erupt again at any time, and if he was not careful once, there would be no recovery.
Hidden in Ifgrid, he could only meditate quietly, silently feeling the obscure power of the contract in his mind, and slowly studying the civilization heritage of Qi.
At the same time, he continued to practice the Blue Sky Meditation Method.
Due to the characteristics of the Blue Sky Meditation Method, it can not only enhance the growth of extraordinary plants, but also enhance the mental power of wizards.
But this depends on the state when practicing the "Blue Sky Meditation Method".
Now Lynn can only maintain the form of Ifgrid, so he can only enhance the extraordinary plant itself.
Time passed slowly, and Lin En felt the extremely complex contract in his mind and continued to understand it more deeply.
On the one hand, he continued to practice the Blue Sky Meditation Method, slowly increasing the strength of his Ivgrid...
Time is passing by at an unimaginable speed...
