Chapter 735: Fifty Years
Chapter 735: Fifty Years
The imperial palace is undoubtedly considered absolutely safe.
At least, the young emperor cannot imagine what kind of power could breach the palace and kill him here.
In this world, the physical body is greatly suppressed, unable to grow, and the ultimate strength of the mind and will is also limited, making it impossible to fight against tens of thousands of enemies.
But the final tribulation is certainly not that simple.
It is definitely not something he can face head-on.
The young emperor has no intention of doing so.
Moreover, he assumes outright that the palace will eventually be breached.
In such a situation, the so-called absolute safety is meaningless.
The palace is too large a target.
Anyone knows the emperor is in the palace.
Instead of waiting for the great tribulation to arrive in the palace,
it would be better to blend into the world.
This vast universe has the richest ninety-nine states occupied by the Great Fidelity Dynasty.
Beyond the ninety-nine states, there are numerous small kingdoms.
Even further, there are vast lands, such as the boundless deep sea to the east.
However, those areas are sparsely populated and have harsh living conditions.
The young emperor believes that as long as he finds a place to hide,
even if the great tribulation's power is unprecedented and can breach the palace, it will have no way to find him.
If he can survive for one hundred and fifty years,
he will have won.
As for how to survive?
The young emperor does not care.
Directly confronting the great tribulation?
That would be the most foolish way.
The requirement of this tribulation is not to defeat it.
He just needs to survive for one hundred and fifty years.
Jinlong Sect.
Lin Yuan spent only half a month.
He completely took control of this massive power in the Savage State.
Mainly because of the cooperation of Jin Yi, an Entering the Dao Celestial Master, who actively paved the way for Lin Yuan.
Plus, Lin Yuan displayed the strength of an Entering the Dao Celestial Master, so the other disciples naturally dared not resist.
As for why an Entering the Dao Celestial Master suddenly appeared?
A sect as large as Jinlong Sect would definitely secretly cultivate disciples.
Truly potential disciples capable of becoming Entering the Dao Celestial Masters would not be exposed.
Otherwise, what if they were assassinated by other forces before becoming Celestial Masters?
So, Lin Yuan's appearance was recognized by the entire Jinlong Sect as Jin Yi's secretly cultivated successor.
Thus, the power transition in Jinlong Sect became exceptionally simple.
Additionally, Lin Yuan searched Jin Yi's memories, gaining a thorough understanding of Jinlong Sect and the ability to view multiple timelines.
Within a month, the entire Jinlong Sect was under Lin Yuan's control.
Due to the suppression in this world, Lin Yuan could not see accurate future timelines, only fragmented text descriptions.
Therefore, searching Jin Yi's soul was very necessary.
Not only did it provide a deeper understanding of Jinlong Sect,
but it also saved a lot of time viewing Jin Yi's past and future timelines.
Lin Yuan's goal is the Great Fidelity Emperor.
Most of the timelines he usually views are related to the Great Fidelity Emperor.
As for Jinlong Sect? It is not worth Lin Yuan expending too much effort.
"The Savage State is under control."
In the Jinlong Hall, Lin Yuan sat casually.
Taking over Jinlong Sect was a pleasant surprise.
In the many timelines he had viewed earlier, this one did not exist.
Controlling Jinlong Sect means controlling the entire Savage State.
As for the official forces of the Great Fidelity Dynasty?
With Lin Yuan's methods and the power of Jinlong Sect,
the official forces of the Great Fidelity Dynasty in the Savage State cannot resist.
They will be quietly replaced, just like Jinlong Sect.
"Time is still very tight."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged.
After twenty years of cultivation, Lin Yuan believes he has reached the pinnacle of Entering the Dao Celestial Master.
In terms of combat power, he is invincible among Entering the Dao Celestial Masters; ordinary Entering the Dao Celestial Masters have no resistance against him.
However, such powerful strength offers almost no improvement to his lifespan.
According to Lin Yuan's precise grasp of his physical body, his remaining lifespan will not exceed one hundred and thirty years.
In other words, to pass this time loop test, he must kill the Great Fidelity Emperor within one hundred and thirty years.
"If I still cannot kill the Great Fidelity Emperor on the last day of my lifespan, I will use the Boundary-Breaking Source Force directly."
Lin Yuan thought.
The Boundary-Breaking Source Force is his ultimate trump card.
Even at the thirteenth stage of time life, it has great utility.
He will use it only as a last resort.
Before advancing to the thirteenth stage,
Lin Yuan had already developed a method to forcibly enter other innate universes.
He attempted to enter a universe on the verge of destruction.
But he could not absorb the massive Boundary-Breaking Source Force as he did in his home universe.
Lin Yuan speculated that this is due to the influence of the primordial consciousness of the chaotic void.
The Boundary-Breaking Source Force is likely the core primordial force of the chaotic void dimension.
Even at the thirteenth stage of time life, it is difficult to discover and absorb.
It exists in the destruction of innate universes born from the chaotic void, and when they collapse, the Boundary-Breaking Source Force will overflow.
Originally, the primordial consciousness of the chaotic void would not interfere with the overflow of the Boundary-Breaking Source Force, as even time lives could not detect it.
But after Lin Yuan absorbed a large amount of Boundary-Breaking Source Force during the destruction of his home universe,
the primordial consciousness of the chaotic void became wary.
As soon as the Boundary-Breaking Source Force overflows from each universe about to collapse,
Thus, Lin Yuan has no opportunity to absorb any of it.
Therefore, Lin Yuan's current method of accumulating Boundary-Breaking Source Force can only be done day by day.
Four million Boundary-Breaking Source Force is the cost to break the time loop.
If it can be avoided, it definitely should be.
The Boundary-Breaking Source Force is his ultimate trump card.
Lin Yuan is naturally unwilling to expend it.
However, if he truly has no other way to break the time loop,
he will not hesitate to use the Boundary-Breaking Source Force.
But without any certainty of whether he can break the time loop,
it is natural that Lin Yuan would be unwilling to expend all his Boundary-Breaking Source Force.
After all, the initiative to break the time loop is currently in Lin Yuan's hands.
Naturally, he is not in a rush.
"The time lives from the first and second Origin Worlds in the chaotic void are so certain that I will advance to the thirteenth stage in the future because I am destined to do so."
"Perhaps it is because the Boundary-Breaking Source Force can be used within the time loop."
Lin Yuan's expression was contemplative.
This also explains why.
The time loop varies from person to person, and there is no guarantee of breaking it.
However, the Boundary-Breaking Source Force, as an omnipotent force, can directly break the time loop. Therefore, his eventual advancement to the thirteenth stage is certain.
The only difference is whether he expends four million Boundary-Breaking Source Force to advance to the thirteenth stage,
or if he breaks the time loop and advances to the thirteenth stage without expending it.
Naturally, Lin Yuan hopes to be the latter.
Apart from saving a significant amount of Boundary-Breaking Source Force,
it is also a test of his own strength.
It can serve as proof of his capabilities.
After completely taking control of the Jinlong Sect,
Lin Yuan continued to view his future timelines.
Row after row of illusory text appeared and disappeared before his eyes,
allowing Lin Yuan to see a possible future.
【At the age of thirty-eight, you believe no Entering the Dao Celestial Master is your match. You infiltrate the capital of the Great Fidelity Dynasty alone, intending to assassinate the Great Fidelity Emperor.】
【One month later, you encounter an ambush by twenty-eight Entering the Dao Celestial Masters and fifty thousand imperial guards. You die.】
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's eyebrows raised.
With his current strength, he is nearly invincible.
Yet, he dies without even seeing the Great Fidelity Emperor.
"Twenty-eight Entering the Dao Celestial Masters?"
Lin Yuan shook his head lightly.
This number of Entering the Dao Celestial Masters is nearly half of all the Entering the Dao Celestial Masters in the ninety-eight states.
Coupled with the most elite fifty thousand imperial guards,
there is indeed a possibility of his death if he chooses to fight to the death.
Since he is viewing future timelines, Lin Yuan does not consider fleeing.
If he is assassinating the Great Fidelity Emperor, it is a no-retreat assassination.
Even if he fails, he can gather information about the capital.
Therefore, in this timeline, Lin Yuan ultimately dies.
If this were to happen in reality, Lin Yuan would realize it is not feasible and retreat immediately.
Even if he does not retreat,
he would use the Boundary-Breaking Source Force to force a "pass" before dying.
"Continue."
Lin Yuan began viewing a new timeline.
【At the age of thirty-eight, you infiltrate the capital, being much more cautious.】
【Two months later, you successfully enter the imperial palace and encounter a siege by thirty thousand imperial guards. You die.】
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan stroked his chin.
Just thirty thousand imperial guards, with no other Entering the Dao Celestial Masters to restrain him, and he dies?
"There must be a secret in the palace that can suppress Entering the Dao Celestial Masters."
Lin Yuan speculated.
The Dao of Runes can indeed be used in the loop world, but it is heavily suppressed and can only manifest in text form.
Therefore, Lin Yuan lacks a lot of key information.
However, from the existing results, he can infer many things.
Encountering an ambush by twenty-eight Entering the Dao Celestial Masters and fifty thousand imperial guards, fighting to the death, there is indeed a possibility of his death.
But just thirty thousand imperial guards? With his current strength, given enough time, he can easily kill all of them.
"Continue."
After some thought, Lin Yuan continued viewing subsequent timelines.
After taking control of the Jinlong Sect, Lin Yuan's forces experienced significant development.
The Jinlong Sect, as a Celestial Master-level force, has been passed down for thousands of years, accumulating enough influence and wealth to elevate the forces Lin Yuan cultivates by several levels.
Next,
Lin Yuan began using the Jinlong Sect as a stepping stone to gradually infiltrate other major states.
Of course, this process is very subtle, which is what Lin Yuan primarily considers.
Before truly taking action against the Great Fidelity Emperor, he will not expose any of his information.
Currently, the Great Fidelity Emperor is in the open, while he is in the shadows, allowing him to develop slowly and steadily.
Once he exposes himself and moves from the shadows to the light, it will no longer be as easy.
The machinery of the Great Fidelity Dynasty will start to operate, and Lin Yuan's development will face numerous obstacles.
At that point, completing the task of assassinating the Great Fidelity Emperor will rely solely on his own strength.
This will significantly reduce his chances of success.
Thus,
Time quickly passed.
Before he knew it, fifty years had gone by.
