Chapter 709: The Other Side of Light
Chapter 709: The Other Side of Light
"Before the fourteen Eternal Masters vanished, did they say anything else to you?"
Lin Yuan casually asked the patriarchs.
Based on the information he had gathered so far, this Source World, including the Master of Heavenly Light, had a total of fourteen Eternal Masters.
In other words, fourteen Time Beings.
Compared to the six Ancestors of the first Source World, the second Source World was clearly much more powerful.
However, this was also because the first Source World had existed for a much shorter time than the second Source World.
As time passed in the first Source World, more Time Beings would be born.
"No, they only left many strategies to deal with various future scenarios."
The patriarch of Eternity Infinite Sect replied.
The other patriarchs nodded as well.
In reality, they had only had a brief final exchange with six of the Eternal Masters, who were the founders of the six Eternal Sects.
As for the other Eternal Masters? They were solitary wanderers, beyond the reach of these patriarchs.
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan didn’t press further.
It was clear that these patriarchs knew less than the golden figure in the testing space.
In fact, it was understandable. Under the shadow of the demonic disaster, anything beyond the power of an Eternal Master was of little significance.
"I will leave an avatar here. If the Demon God reappears, I will intervene."
Lin Yuan declared.
Since he had promised to protect the Hidden World, he would see it through to the end.
Of course, he also suspected that the Demon God wouldn’t reappear.
After realizing that he couldn’t defeat Lin Yuan, the Demon God’s entire focus was now on suppressing the Source World’s consciousness.
As for the Source World itself?
Once the Source World’s consciousness was completely suppressed, the Demon God would replace it, significantly boosting his power.
However, that day was likely far, far away.
If the Demon God could suppress the Source World’s consciousness so quickly, he wouldn’t have bothered attacking the Hidden World in the first place.
"Thank you, Lord Galaxy." The patriarchs expressed their gratitude.
Lin Yuan’s true self left the Hidden World and wandered the land and sky.
Infinite demonic aura retreated swiftly upon approaching within ten thousand miles of Lin Yuan.
"Still watching me?"
Lin Yuan faintly sensed the Demon God’s gaze.
"Demon God."
Lin Yuan pondered.
Although he had engaged the Demon God in battle and forced him to retreat, Lin Yuan felt no sense of pride.
Battling the Demon God did not mean he could take on other Time Beings.
Time Beings, with their ability to observe multiple timelines, would never give Lin Yuan a chance to face them directly.
And the Demon God?
His raw power and combat ability rivaled that of a true Time Being.
But without the ability to observe timelines, any Time Being could outmaneuver and outthink the Demon God.
The most terrifying aspect of Time Beings was their foresight and their ability to shape their own future.
"However,"
Lin Yuan’s expression grew serious.
In close combat with the Demon God, he had clearly sensed the Demon God’s terrifying power.
Mostly, it was the terror of the Demon God’s physical body.
Throughout the battle, the Demon God had not used any secret techniques or mystical powers, relying solely on his physical instincts to fight Lin Yuan.
Even so, he possessed the combat strength of a thirteenth-rank Time Being.
It was easy to imagine.
Once the Demon God could activate and amplify his powers with secret techniques, he would be far beyond Lin Yuan’s reach, even if Lin Yuan had fully opened the Infinite Sand Particle Worlds.
"To have such strength relying only on physical instincts, without using secret techniques or mental will techniques?" Lin Yuan found it hard to believe.
The path of martial evolution excelled in physical prowess, but it couldn’t compare to the Demon God’s body.
"If the Demon God was once a Time Being who lost his mental will for some reason, causing him to act on instinct, how strong would he have been in his prime?"
Lin Yuan’s thoughts expanded.
"But that’s not my concern."
"Now that the Infinite Sand Particle Worlds have been fully opened, proving that this secret technique is viable, the other two true selves can attempt it as well."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The reason he hadn’t let the two true selves in the Chaotic Void and the first Source World try opening their own particle worlds was the enormous resource consumption. If the process failed halfway or just before completion, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
But now, Lin Yuan in this Source World had proven the feasibility of fully opening a particle world, so the other two true selves could follow suit.
In the Chaotic Void, Lin Yuan’s true self drifted with the chaotic energy.
At that moment, he opened his eyes.
"Open the particle world."
With a thought, particles within his body began to form into worlds.
Over ten thousand years, Lin Yuan had traversed the Chaotic Void, gathering an immense amount of resources.
Many Secret Realms that even the greatest sages couldn’t find, as well as the legacies left by the post-natural universes created by the world’s greatest sages, had all been plundered by Lin Yuan.
He had even ventured into the dimensional gaps several times to gather valuable resources from beyond the Chaotic Void, preparing for the opening of his own particle world.
The Chaotic Void was not the second Origin World, and it had yet to be corrupted by dark energy. Numerous resource-rich realms continuously emerged, providing a steady stream of collectible resources.
Over the years, with the help of the 'spirits' from those special places, Lin Yuan managed to barely gather enough resources.
First Origin World.
Lin Yuan began to cultivate his own particle world. Compared to the Chaotic Void, where he had to seek out resources himself, this Origin World offered a much simpler way to obtain them.
Sitting atop the premier treasure land, the 'Golden Mist Treasure Land,' Lin Yuan only needed to sell the rare treasures produced there to continuously gather various resources.
The Golden Mist Treasure Land produced a golden mist that could transform a being’s physical constitution to align with time. Once fully transformed, it granted the ability to briefly predict the future. While this was far inferior to the direct foresight of a 13th Rank Time Being, it was an ability that Supreme Heavens and Peak Supreme Heavens greatly desired.
Through this allure, the Supreme Heavens and Peak Supreme Heavens of the six ancient kingdoms spent a significant portion of their resources to acquire some of the golden mist from Lin Yuan.
To expedite resource collection, Lin Yuan even 'pre-sold' all the rare golden mist produced by the Golden Mist Treasure Land over the next ten trillion years.
While 'pre-selling' the treasures of the land was risky for other Supreme Heavens, the credibility of the Galactic Supreme Heaven was unquestionable. This is why Lin Yuan could directly 'pre-sell' the golden mist produced by the land over the next ten trillion years.
Since Lin Yuan was about to ascend to the 13th Rank, he had little interest in this ability to glimpse the future. Using it to exchange for the resources needed to cultivate his particle world was a very fair deal.
Through this method, Lin Yuan quickly and easily gathered all the resources needed to cultivate his own particle world.
Second Origin World.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a hill.
"Eighteenth Physical Divine Skill," Lin Yuan carefully felt the intertwining of various root powers deep within his bloodline.
The cultivation of the eighteenth Physical Divine Skill took longer than the combined time of the previous seven, requiring over ten thousand years.
Now, the cultivation of Lin Yuan’s eighteenth Physical Divine Skill was nearing its end. It would take anywhere from a hundred to a few thousand years to fully develop.
"Ten thousand years of cultivation, I wonder what power this Physical Divine Skill will possess?"
In this Origin World, since the great cosmic change, the physical potential of all beings had become incredibly terrifying. This was the main reason why it took Lin Yuan over ten thousand years to cultivate the Physical Divine Skill.
The foundation of life had changed, and the ability to cultivate Physical Divine Skills in the martial evolution path could lock onto these changes and form divine skills.
"Continue my meditation."
Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and no longer paid attention to the root powers deep within his bloodline. Instead, he continued to meditate on the legacy left by the Lord of Heavenly Light, which helped break through the time loop.
After ten thousand years of meditation, even with only a small portion of his mind dedicated to it, Lin Yuan had cultivated this legacy to the fifth level. He was only a hair’s breadth away from completely mastering the fifth level.
Legacy Space.
Lin Yuan continued to listen.
Beneath the sky, the Lord of Heavenly Light’s form was majestic, radiating boundless light that was warm and comforting, making Lin Yuan feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
"The fifth level of this legacy lies in the heart and the mind. Where the heart and mind lead, there lies the rune, without the need for external assistance."
The Lord of Heavenly Light’s face was calm and smiling as He looked at Lin Yuan, explaining the details of the fifth level.
His eyes were gentle and kind, filled with compassion for all beings.
"What is the essence of life? The physical body? The soul? No, it is the heart. With a heart, one is a complete being. To cultivate this legacy to the fifth level is to use the heart and mind as the foundation to form runes."
The Lord of Heavenly Light smiled and said, "The time loop is a test for life, a test for the transformation into a Time Being. Since the test is for life, it must involve the heart and mind. Therefore, the path of runes cannot be completely sealed, for as long as the heart and mind exist, so do the runes."
Lin Yuan listened attentively.
As he continued to understand the Lord of Heavenly Light’s words and form runes with his heart and mind in this legacy space, the Lord of Heavenly Light continued His teachings.
This was the unique aspect of this legacy; one could only listen to the next part after fully understanding the current section.
Soon.
Lin Yuan had reached the end.
Beneath the sky, the Lord of Heavenly Light, radiating boundless light, paused for a moment.
"Future cultivator, since you can hear this, you must be on the verge of completely understanding the legacy I created."
The Lord of Heavenly Light’s gaze remained gentle and composed as He smiled and said, "Next, I will explain my use of runes."
"What are runes?"
"Everything. The path I walked has two sides, both rooted in runes."
The Lord of Heavenly Light’s gaze remained gentle as He continued, "One side is the me you see now, and the other side..."
As He spoke, His aura slowly changed. The gentle, radiant light disappeared, replaced by boundless dark energy.
The Lord of Heavenly Light’s appearance also changed. His white robe turned into a black one, which seemed to contain endless darkness. His gentle smile gradually faded, and His expression became extraordinarily indifferent.
A black horn grew from His head, and a thick, pitch-black tail swayed behind Him.
Lin Yuan, looking at the starkly different 'Lord of Heavenly Light,' felt a chill.
