Chapter 711: Meeting the Young Friend
Chapter 711: Meeting the Young Friend
"Unbelievable."
"Unheard of."
"Mind-boggling."
One Eternal Lord after another spoke, expressing their feelings.
As time beings, they had seen countless timelines of the future, no matter how fantastical.
But someone like Lin Yuan, if not seen with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
The Boundless Lord gazed distantly at the Source World and said, "Everyone, I plan to return for a visit to meet the young friend 'Galaxy.'"
Although the Boundless Lord had deduced from many future timelines that Lin Yuan was not difficult to get along with, in the more distant future, the Eternal Lords would need to rely on him.
Therefore, meeting him in advance to build a good relationship was extremely important.
With Lin Yuan's existence in the future timelines, the so-called Demon Disaster could mostly be overcome.
So the Eternal Lords were now considering how they would get along with Lin Yuan after the Demon Disaster ended.
"Return for a visit?"
The expressions of the Black Void Lord, Wu Shan Lord, and other Eternal Lords slightly changed.
To return to the Source World, they needed to cross the barriers separating the realms of light and darkness.
During the great transformation of the world, the Eternal Lords had used many isolation methods to restrain the Brightness Body of the Heavenly Light Lord, leading to a stalemate here.
This not only locked the Brightness Body of the Heavenly Light Lord but also locked themselves in this place.
However, nothing was absolute. At the level of Eternal Lords, they had countless means. To break free from this lock and briefly return to the Source World was not impossible.
But it would come at a great cost.
Even if they returned to the Source World, it would only be a manifestation of their consciousness, and they would not be able to match the Dark Demon Body of the Heavenly Light Lord.
Therefore, it was essentially meaningless.
The thirteen Eternal Lords had not entertained this idea before.
But now?
Even if it came at a great cost.
As long as they could return to the Source World and meet the 'Galaxy' in advance, the cost would be worth it.
As time beings, their vision and planning were not limited to the present but extended to the distant future.
Perhaps paying a great cost to return would result in a short-term disadvantage.
But if they extended the timeline, as long as they could build a good relationship with Lin Yuan and the future Time Lord, this cost would be insignificant.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was not just any ordinary Time Lord.
With a life that almost guaranteed a certain future, his origins were so vast that the thirteen Eternal Lords dared not think too deeply about it.
"I will return as well."
"Since Boundless is returning, I will return too."
The other twelve Eternal Lords immediately made their decision upon hearing this.
If the Boundless Lord had not mentioned this, some Eternal Lords might have hesitated due to the great cost.
But since the Boundless Lord was planning to return, the other Eternal Lords could only follow.
Otherwise, if the twelve Eternal Lords returned and became familiar with the 'Galaxy' young friend, while one Eternal Lord did not go, many opportunities in the future timelines would likely have nothing to do with them.
In the chaotic void, Lin Yuan's true body sat cross-legged, with chaotic energy swirling around him.
As countless particle worlds continuously opened within his body, Lin Yuan's aura became increasingly profound, like an unprecedentedly massive black hole, instinctively devouring all the surrounding void chaos.
"Runes?"
Lin Yuan did not spend much mental effort on opening particle worlds.
He had already traversed the second Source World once, and now it was just a repeat, naturally making it easy and effortless.
What Lin Yuan was currently focused on was the application of runes.
"Time."
With a slight thought, tiny runes condensed in his mind, forming miniature timelines that extended into the future.
Having reached the level where a thought could manifest runes, Lin Yuan's current mastery of runes was almost instinctual, and his ability to observe timelines was similar, though far less clear and numerous compared to true time beings.
But the feeling of absolute control over the timelines still captivated him.
"Future."
Lin Yuan looked at one of his future timelines.
In this timeline, Lin Yuan transformed into a true time being eight thousand years later, and then began to explore the dimensional spaces beyond the chaotic void.
As he continued to observe, he sensed a certain resistance.
"The further into the future I observe, the more resistance I will face. I am not yet a true time being, and even with shortcuts, I can only observe timelines for a limited time."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"But once I reach the thirteenth stage, with my understanding of the path of runes and the transformation of my life essence, the number and depth of timelines I can see should far surpass other newly ascended time beings."
Lin Yuan silently pondered.
Even before becoming a time being, he could attempt to observe timelines.
If he became a time being, the improvement he would gain would definitely far surpass other newly ascended time beings.
"However, my future..."
Lin Yuan spent half a day observing dozens of his future timelines and found that, as the six Ancestors had said, in every timeline, he reached the thirteenth stage and became a time being.
"Why is this so?"
Lin Yuan was puzzled. As his realm and strength improved, he increasingly recognized the difficulty of breaking through from the twelfth to the thirteenth stage.
Breaking through the time loop isn't a certainty; at most, it just increases the likelihood of a breakthrough. But in his case, it seems to be inevitable?
"Is it related to the Gate of Myriad Worlds?"
Lin Yuan speculated, "Or perhaps, even a time loop can't stop the Gate of Myriad Worlds?"
Lin Yuan let his thoughts wander.
Of course, these were just his speculations. Whether or not they were true would only be known once he was caught in the time loop.
"With my current foundation, even without the Gate of Myriad Worlds, the possibility of breaking through the time loop is very high," Lin Yuan thought. Practitioners of the martial evolution path were spread across dozens of dimensional spaces, their numbers vast, forming an incredibly strong 'anchor.'
Secondly, with the help of the Heavenly Light Lord's legacy, Lin Yuan's mastery of runes had reached the point where they formed at his slightest thought. Even if he were deeply trapped in a time loop, he could still 'cheat' to some extent.
Lastly, there was Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension. Over ten thousand years, he had comprehended countless great principles, covering a breadth that even true time beings might not match.
Once trapped in a time loop, even if faced with trials he had never encountered, his understanding would allow him to apply his knowledge in various ways, giving him more means to deal with the situation.
Lin Yuan really wanted to know how long the time loop could actually trap him.
"Hm?"
Wherever Lin Yuan's gaze fell, runes appeared, quickly revealing most of the essence of the chaotic void.
"Those are the places where the thirteenth-stage time beings of the chaotic void usually reside?" Lin Yuan, using the power of runes, discovered seven locations in the chaotic void with profound auras that he couldn't yet see through, deducing that they were likely the time beings of the chaotic void.
"Seven time beings?"
Lin Yuan thought, this was the first time he knew the number of time beings in the chaotic void.
The chaotic void had dozens of special areas, but this didn't mean it had dozens of time beings. Each time being had observed the potential dangers of the chaotic void and established multiple special areas to compensate.
"The chaotic void isn't a Source World, yet it has quite a few time beings," Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
The first Source World had only six time beings, the six Ancestors. Of course, this was because the first Source World was still young and hadn't had enough time to nurture new time beings.
"I can attempt to reach the thirteenth stage at any time now."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he faintly sensed strands of time power swirling around him.
This was because Lin Yuan's life essence was too powerful, so powerful that time power actively adhered to him. As soon as Lin Yuan decided to attempt the thirteenth stage, the time power would immediately form a cycle, trapping him.
"Let's wait until the particle worlds are fully opened."
Lin Yuan shook his head lightly. In the dozen or so future timelines he had seen, he would attempt the thirteenth stage at the earliest a few thousand years later.
Since his future self did it this way, there must be a reason. There was no need to act against it.
At least in all these future outcomes, he successfully reached the thirteenth stage. If he acted against it, a new timeline might be created, leading to uncertainty in his advancement to the thirteenth stage.
That would be a headache for Lin Yuan.
The second Source World.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In the distance, a faint aura of demonic energy could be seen.
"Demons."
Lin Yuan pondered, "The so-called demons are the black demon bodies created by the Heavenly Light Lord. Then what about His light body?"
As soon as this thought arose, Lin Yuan had the answer.
The Heavenly Light Lord's light body was being held back by the Eternal Lords.
Since the great transformation of the world began, the Eternal Lords had all disappeared, and the Heavenly Light Lord's light body was also nowhere to be found.
The demonic aura enveloping the entire Source World came from the Heavenly Light Lord's black demon body, the Demon God, but the light body had never appeared.
The reason for the disappearance of the Eternal Lords and the light body was obvious.
"According to the Heavenly Light Lord's intention, His light body is more powerful than the black demon body," Lin Yuan thought. "I estimate that the thirteen Eternal Lords are now in a stalemate with the Heavenly Light Lord's light body."
If the thirteen Eternal Lords had suppressed the light body, they would have returned long ago.
If they hadn't suppressed it and were instead suppressed by the Heavenly Light Lord's light body, the light body would have returned.
"Heavenly Light Lord." Lin Yuan once again felt the might of this Eternal Lord.
In the absence of His mental will, the two true bodies were holding back the entire Source World and the thirteen Eternal Lords, respectively.
Just then—
Buzzing sounds rippled through the surrounding space, and powerful consciousnesses descended swiftly, appearing not far from Lin Yuan. Each consciousness quickly condensed into a towering figure, thirteen figures standing quietly.
The appearance of these thirteen figures caused the entire Source World to tremble, with infinite demonic energy surging, and the aura of the Demon God began to recondense.
"This?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed in surprise as he looked at the thirteen towering figures not far away.
The leading figure smiled, his eyes filled with kindness as he looked at Lin Yuan, "Boundless greets the young friend."
