Chapter 744: The Changes in the Gateway of the Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 744: The Changes in the Gateway of the Ten Thousand Realms



The radiant crystal's might was completely restrained.

Yet, all time beings could sense the terrifying aura it contained.

Compared to the dark devil body's dark crystal, the radiant crystal was far more formidable.

"Teacher," the thirteen Eternal Lords thought with complex emotions.

Their complex thoughts stemmed from two aspects.

One was that the Light Master had shown them kindness.

The other was that even a powerful being like the Light Master, who had reached the lordhood level, had ended up with his mind will annihilated in his final transcendence and transformation into a perfect time being.

Could they, as first-stage time beings, still hold on to hope?

"The demon calamity has ended," Lin Yuan said, putting away the radiant crystal and addressing the Eternal Lords.

In fact, as long as one could thoroughly comprehend the Light Master's lordhood position, they could easily retrieve the dark devil body and the radiant body.

This was the backup plan the Light Master had left for his two true bodies.

"Yes, the demon calamity has ended," the Boundless Lord whispered, his gaze shifting to the distant source world.

Ever since the great changes in the heavens and earth countless years ago, the thirteen Eternal Lords had been forced to leave their home, the source world, until now.

"Congratulations, Galaxy, for becoming the new Eternal Lord," the Wu Mountain Lord congratulated.

Upon hearing this, the other twelve Eternal Lords also realized what had happened.

They immediately followed suit, offering their congratulations.

Although this source world had lost the Light Master, a time lord, it had gained Lin Yuan, a time being with even more astonishing potential.

Lin Yuan smiled and responded to each of them.

"Galaxy, how strong are you now?" The Boundless Lord looked at Lin Yuan with a curious expression.

After reaching the thirteenth rank, Lin Yuan had used his abilities to deal with the Light Master's dark devil body and radiant body, but he hadn't fully displayed his strength, mainly relying on the backup plan left by the Light Master, forcefully suppressing them with his lordhood position.

Therefore, the Eternal Lords were curious about Lin Yuan's strength; they had their speculations, but they couldn't bring themselves to believe it.

As for observing Lin Yuan's future timeline? Before reaching the thirteenth rank, Lin Yuan had already distorted and blurred the future timeline of first-stage time beings with the aid of the lordhood position.

There wasn't much useful information to be gleaned.

Now, as a time being who had fully mastered the lordhood position, observing Lin Yuan's future timeline was no easier than observing a true time lord.

According to the future timeline Lin Yuan had revealed before reaching the thirteenth rank, there was a significant difference from what had just happened.

In the future the Eternal Lords had initially seen, Lin Yuan did indeed take action to end the demon calamity, but it was far from as relaxed and enjoyable as it was now.

Clearly, Lin Yuan's future had changed significantly from what the Eternal Lords had witnessed.

"My strength?" Lin Yuan smiled slightly. "Who wants to give it a try?"

"I'll do it," the Void Sovereign stepped forward, his face filled with anticipation as he looked at Lin Yuan.

Among the thirteen Eternal Lords, the Boundless Lord was the most powerful, and the Void Sovereign was second only to him.

In terms of defensive capabilities, the Void Sovereign was no weaker than the Boundless Lord.

Lin Yuan nodded, "I'll use a suppression technique, and you can experience it."

The Void Sovereign prepared himself solemnly.

The next moment, the intertwining black and white Yin-Yang energies enveloped the space-time, and the Void Sovereign's expression changed. He could feel the suppression and restriction of the black and white Yin-Yang energies.

Hum! The Void Sovereign's figure gradually disappeared, transforming into a space-time black hole, resisting the erosion of the black and white Yin-Yang energies.

However, as the black and white Yin-Yang energies continued to gather, they faintly formed a grand Chaos Taiji Diagram, and no matter how the Void Sovereign defended, the Yin-Yang energies began to penetrate the space-time black hole, sweeping towards the Void Sovereign's true body.

"I can't hold it back, I really can't," the Void Sovereign's mind trembled slightly. The path he had chosen was most adept at defense, yet he couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's suppression.

"If you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately, and I'll stop," Lin Yuan said with a smile, also observing the path the Void Sovereign had taken.

Every Eternal Lord's path had its unique aspects, and becoming a time lord meant their path was powerful. However, the paths of time beings who hadn't become time lords were not necessarily inferior.

"Galaxy, stop!" the Void Sovereign shouted.

Although it was still some distance away from harming his true body, there was no need to continue resisting since, from the beginning, Lin Yuan's suppression had overwhelmed his defenses.

"Just a suppression technique, and it's already this terrifying. Galaxy, your strength might already be comparable to a second-stage being," the Boundless Lord confirmed his speculation, looking at Lin Yuan with awe.

Having just become an Eternal Lord, his combat power was already on par with a second-stage being.

With a little more stabilization of his realm, he would be close to the peak of the second stage, almost reaching the level of a time lord.

It was worth noting that the strength of a newly ascended Eternal Lord wasn't considered very strong, and there was still much room for growth.

"Second stage?" The Eternal Lords exchanged glances.

They were still far from the peak of the first stage, let alone the second stage.

"Black Void, Galaxy held back. He only used a suppression technique. If he had used an offensive technique, you wouldn't even have had the chance to ask him to stop," the Wu Mountain Lord said with a smile.

He had already received the information from the testing space and knew that before becoming an Eternal Lord, Lin Yuan had used the Chaos Taiji Sword, which was a pure offensive power far superior to the Chaos Taiji Diagram.

The Chaos Taiji Diagram was mainly for suppression and restriction.

"I didn't even have the chance to ask him to stop," the Void Sovereign muttered to himself.

This was true; in the future timeline they had initially observed, Lin Yuan had used other means to annihilate the demonic energy, and the Taiji Sword, enveloped in endless Yin-Yang energies, had shocked all the Eternal Lords.

"Even with the strongest offensive technique, it would be difficult to annihilate the Void Sovereign's true body in a short time," Lin Yuan said.

"Annihilate my true body in a short time?" the Void Sovereign asked.

The Void Sovereign blinked his eyes.

Although the Eternal Lord's methods were powerful, the fall of his true body was far from being considered a true death.

But as the strongest force, if even the true body couldn't ensure its survival, it indicated an enormous gap in strength between the two.

"What are your plans now, Galaxy? Do you intend to establish an eternal sect power?" The Boundless Lord asked Lin Yuan.

"We'll see about that later," Lin Yuan replied.

Having just stepped into the Thirteenth Rank, he had too many things to attend to.

Establish a power of his own? It wasn't urgent for now.

"Mhm."

The Boundless Lord nodded and continued, "Then I'll be on my way first."

After a long time, he had never truly returned to his home, the Source World, and at most, only his incarnations would descend. But these incarnations would be noticed by the Demon Gods, and they couldn't stay for long.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan turned to the other Eternal Lords, "I'll be leaving as well."

After speaking, his figure dissipated.

In a space-time realm, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Floating before him were two crystals.

One was filled with dark and sinister demonic energy.

The other was imbued with infinite radiance.

These were the transformed Dark Devil Body and Radiant Body of the Light Master.

Lin Yuan carefully observed them, studying the Dark Crystal for a while and then the Radiant Crystal.

At this moment, both crystals had already transformed into the purest and most primordial energy, which Lin Yuan could easily absorb.

He didn't even need to crush them with the Taiji Grindstone, as the power within each crystal was nearly as pure as the essence of the Chaos Void.

This was the legacy of a Time Lord, and with Lin Yuan having attained Lordhood, he inherited everything from the Light Master, making the absorption of these crystals effortless.

"I can sense that the energy within these two crystals is vast, no less than experiencing another infusion of Chaos Void essence," Lin Yuan said with a smile on his face.

In fact, if it weren't for the long years of wear and tear on the Dark Devil Body and Radiant Body, which had consumed half of their internal energy, the benefits Lin Yuan would gain from refining and absorbing them would surpass even the infusion of Chaos Void essence.

After all, this was the entirety of what a Time Lord had left behind, and the size of the Chaos Void was equivalent to that of a Time Lord.

"Let's begin the refinement and absorption."

Without further hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately started refining both crystals.

Instantly, two distinct streams of power surged into Lin Yuan's body, merging with every particle world within him.

"The path the Light Master walked was the path of light, and wherever he went, infinite radiance followed," Lin Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the Light Master's path at this moment.

"But having only light is too extreme. Reaching the peak is easy, but achieving perfection is difficult, difficult, difficult."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"The Light Master also realized this, which is why he created the Dark Devil Body. However, the Dark Devil Body was ultimately meant to complement his path of light, and thus, it wasn't as powerful as the Radiant Body."

Lin Yuan's thoughts expanded.

Only with darkness can there be light.

"My path was set from the beginning of my cultivation journey, rooted in Yin and Yang, without extremes, and without hidden flaws," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This was also why he was reluctant to refine the Light Master's Lordhood.

Deep down, Lin Yuan felt that his path was superior to the one the Light Master had walked.

"I wonder if I'll face the same fate as the Light Master when I attempt to break through to the Fourteenth Rank?" Lin Yuan pondered secretly.

Although his path seemed flawless and perfect compared to the Light Master's, Lin Yuan had no idea if he would be able to step into the Fourteenth Rank and achieve a perfect time life.

His future timeline only extended as far as the Time Lord realm.

As for what lay beyond, the path to a perfect time life, it was all a blur. The Fourteenth Rank transcends all time lines.

“We’ll see about that later.”

Lin Yuan quickly refined the two crystals, and his strength rapidly increased.

The two crystals were not only a pure gathering of power but also contained the path the Light Master had walked.

As Lin Yuan refined and absorbed them, he also drew from the Light Master's path, taking what he needed for himself.

The Light Master's path was not one Lin Yuan could follow, but he could use it as a reference to perfect his own path, bringing it closer to perfection.

Chaos Void.

Vague shadows gathered.

"Wanfa, Galaxy, you're so lucky to have become a great time life."

One by one, the special spirits spoke with envious tones as they looked at Wanfa's Eye.

The relationship between Wanfa's Eye and the time life 'Galaxy' had been speculated upon by the special spirits ever since Galaxy had proactively helped Wanfa's Eye obtain that 'Law Origin Fruit'.

Before breaking through to the Thirteenth Rank, Galaxy had been extremely resistant to any contact with the special spirits, never meeting a single one of them.

But he had still helped Wanfa's Eye obtain that 'Law Origin Fruit'.

The special spirits couldn't believe there wasn't some connection between them.

"Indeed, you're very lucky," Wanfa's Eye nodded on the surface, but inside, he was truly bitter.

If only he had known, he wouldn't have made that request to Lin Yuan, maintaining the favor between them.

The favor of a time life was incredibly valuable, especially for these special spirits.

But due to his shortsightedness, he had thought Lin Yuan might not break through the time loop, and so he had hastily made the request, fearing the favor would go to waste.

Now, Wanfa's Eye deeply regretted his decision.

The special spirits had witnessed countless cosmic eras and had even seen the rise and fall of time lives.

They understood that the commotion Lin Yuan had caused when he stepped into the Thirteenth Rank far surpassed that of other time lives.

This meant that Lin Yuan's potential strength was even greater than that of other time lives.

Wanfa's Eye felt utterly helpless as he had squandered such a valuable favor.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, it was almost impossible for him to further deepen their relationship.

In the depths of a dark and mysterious space, a figure sat cross-legged.

It was none other than Lin Yuan.

Having transcended to the Thirteenth Rank and bearing the infusion of the Chaos Void's Primordial Source, Lin Yuan's true body was undoubtedly the most powerful.

As for the second Source World, the true body that obtained the legacy of the Light Master... To reach the level of a Chaos Void True Body, one would have to wait until the two crystals were thoroughly refined.

"The universe within my body is roughly equivalent to one-hundredth the size of the Chaos Void."

Lin Yuan observed his internal universe, and this was still when he had just entered the Thirteenth Rank, not yet reaching his full potential.

Lin Yuan predicted that as he continued to grow, his internal universe would reach one-tenth the size of the Chaos Void.

One-tenth the size of the Chaos Void? It should be known that the Chaos Void is the most advanced dimensional space. Even if it were one-tenth, let alone one-millionth or one-millionth of a millionth, it would still be boundless and infinite for those below the Thirteenth Rank, and they would not be able to explore it all in their entire lifetime.

"If I enter the Second Stage of the Thirteenth Rank, my internal universe will likely directly rival the Chaos Void."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. At this moment, he was a newly ascended Time Being, having just entered the First Stage. When he reaches the Second Stage, there will be another significant boost.

At that time, his internal universe will thoroughly rival the Chaos Void.

This was the level that Mo Xu Jun had achieved in his theory, "Infinite Void."

It was Mo Xu Jun's pursuit over countless years.

Unlike Lin Yuan, upon reaching this level in the "Infinite Void," it was already the limit, approaching that of a Time Lord.

However, Lin Yuan's internal universe, even when it rivals the Chaos Void, is still far from its peak and can continue to grow.

With the integration of two Source Worlds, Lin Yuan's internal universe is like having a touch of perfect essence, and its potential is so great that it is estimated to be close to a truly perfect world.

"I've become quite familiar with the methods of a Thirteenth Rank Time Being."

Lin Yuan stood up, his gaze distant.

The methods of a Thirteenth Rank Time Being are not limited to observing future timelines.

The essence of life at this level is too high, and they can essentially resurrect beings that once existed in dimensional spaces.

"Resurrect."

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan began to resurrect beings with whom he had a causal connection but had died or were equivalent to death.

In an instant,

Wherever Lin Yuan's gaze fell, a new secret realm was opened.

Within the secret realm, a world gradually took shape, and the beings within rapidly transformed from illusion to reality.

The first resurrection target of Lin Yuan was the Time Loop World he had experienced.

The Time Loop World, including the temporarily created Supreme Rule Path, was essentially no different from a truly existing world, and every person within had their own thoughts.

These were beings that had truly existed, and Lin Yuan could resurrect them.

Soon,

As the beings within the world completely transformed into reality,

The time that had stagnated after Lin Yuan passed the test began to flow again.

Unlike the Time Loop World that Lin Yuan had experienced, the resurrected Time Loop World beings were no longer restricted by the rules of the Supreme Rule Path, allowing the creatures within to embark on more extraordinary paths.

"You are essentially created by the Supreme Rule Path, and I hope you can forge your own path."

Lin Yuan looked down upon the Time Loop World merging with the Chaos Void, his thoughts silent.

Resurrecting the beings within the Time Loop World was something Lin Yuan didn't want to see, as they had disappeared due to his passing the test.

These beings were created because of Lin Yuan's test.

Born from Lin Yuan, they vanished because of Lin Yuan.

It sounded very reasonable.

But now that he had become a Time Being, he should follow his heart's desires.

If Lin Yuan found something unreasonable, then it was unreasonable.

After the Time Loop World beings were fully resurrected, not a single Daoist Grandmaster discovered any anomalies, and they continued to do as they had before.

Compared to Lin Yuan's current level of life, the beings within the Time Loop World were indeed too weak.

"Cang Wei Yang?"

Lin Yuan followed a causal line, looking towards the first Overlord Realm peak powerhouse he encountered upon exiting the Chaos Void.

At that time, Cang Wei Yang had perished while exploring the Taiyuan Ruins, and his cave abode was fortuitously discovered by Lin Yuan. The imprint left by Cang Wei Yang within the cave abode proactively offered all its treasures to Lin Yuan.

The only request was for Lin Yuan to take care of the Stoneman Clan.

Lin Yuan later fulfilled this promise.

Now that he had become a Time Being, he also resurrected this Twelfth Rank life.

"I..."

In a void, the plump figure of 'Cang Wei Yang' looked around in a daze.

"Didn't I die?"

Cang Wei Yang was a bit confused, but then related information flooded his mind.

"Was I resurrected by the great Time Being 'Milky Way' because my cave abode was obtained by him?"

Cang Wei Yang's eyes widened. He never imagined that the cave abode he left behind would play such a significant role and become the key to his resurrection?

"Thank you, great Time Being."

Cang Wei Yang immediately bowed deeply in gratitude towards a certain direction.

He didn't dare to look up at Lin Yuan's true body. With his strength, directly observing the true body of a Time Being could potentially corrupt his psychic power.

"I'll send you to the Stoneman Clan."

With a slight movement of Lin Yuan's mind, he sent Cang Wei Yang to the current location of the Stoneman Clan.

Stoneman Clan's Secret Realm.

Cang Wei Yang's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Who is it?"

Cang Yu Long, also at the Overlord Realm peak, immediately sensed the anomaly and appeared nearby.

"Is it Uncle Cang Wei Yang?"

Cang Yu Long looked at Cang Wei Yang, somewhat incredulous.

As the Stoneman Clan's only Overlord Realm peak powerhouse, Cang Wei Yang held a high status within the clan.

Cang Yu Long was even a descendant of Cang Wei Yang.

However, Cang Yu Long had already sensed the dissipation of Cang Wei Yang's causality and his demise.

Why had he appeared again?

And the causality that had once dissipated was forcefully reestablished?

Cang Yu Long found it hard to believe.

As someone with profound luck, he had obtained the legacy of the Camel Dragon Great Sage at a young age and survived the pursuit of the Nine Sword Venerables.

Cang Yu Long's horizons were naturally broad, but he was still deeply shaken by the current scene.

"Yu Long, it was the Great Time Being who resurrected me."

Cang Wei Yang immediately spoke up.

"The Great Time Being?"

Cang Yu Long took a deep breath.

The Great Time Being.

Indeed, only a Great Time Being could resurrect a Twelfth Rank being.

"The cave abode I left behind was obtained by the Great Time Being, and it was through this connection that I was resurrected."

Cang Wei Yang smiled as he spoke.

"The Milky Way Sage?"

Cang Yu Long muttered.

If it were an ancient Time Being, they would have resurrected Cang Wei Yang long ago.

There was no need to wait until now.

Therefore, the Time Being who resurrected Cang Wei Yang could only be a newly ascended one.

Recently, there were two new Time Beings.

One was Rahu, and the other was the Milky Way.

Rahu was an incredibly ancient Great Sage.

With Rahu's strength, he wouldn't have paid any attention to Cang Wei Yang's cave abode.

"The Milky Way Sage?"

Cang Wei Yang nodded, and in the moment of his resurrection, he also became aware of Lin Yuan's name.

"Then, the imprisonment of my Stoneman Clan by the Nine Sword Venerables should also be the doing of the Milky Way Sage."

Cang Yu Long muttered to himself, back then, he had regarded the Milky Way Sage as his goal, and with the legacy of the Camel Dragon Great Sage, Cang Yu Long had been full of motivation.

But now, it seemed that he wasn't even at the Chaos Realm.

The Milky Way Sage had already entered the Thirteenth Rank.

And even if he hadn't reached the Thirteenth Rank, who in the Chaos Void didn't know of the Milky Way Sage?

In the remote corners of the universe, beyond the reach of the Heavenly Birth Universe.

A figure of a woman in a light green skirt appeared.

In the distance, a majestic and imposing man also emerged.

"Ah Xuan."

The woman in the light green skirt couldn't help but call out upon seeing the majestic man.

"Senior Sister."

The majestic man also looked thoughtful.

"How am I alive?"

The majestic man looked around, his expression thoughtful.

"Ah Xuan, how did I survive?"

The woman in the light green skirt was slightly confused.

When she had perished, her strength was too weak, not even reaching the Overlord Realm.

"You have been resurrected."

"I have also been resurrected. It was the Great Time Being who captured us."

The majestic man, Xuan Huang, spoke softly. He raised his head and looked into the distance, seeing a majestic true body overlooking him.

As an invincible Great Sage, Xuan Huang had the qualification to look up to a Time Being.

And for him to forcefully break the time loop with the help of a Thirteenth Rank weapon, he should have been doomed.

Only a Thirteenth Rank Time Being could have resurrected him.

But he had no causality with the Time Being, nor was there any value in resurrecting him. Breaking the time loop forcefully meant that he would never have the chance to enter the Thirteenth Rank again.

"Live well with your senior sister."

Lin Yuan's voice echoed in Xuan Huang's ear.

Xuan Huang's greatest obsession was his senior sister.

For her, he was willing to give up the opportunity to become a Thirteenth Rank Time Being.

"Thank you, Great Time Being."

Xuan Huang immediately bowed, understanding that Lin Yuan had resurrected his senior sister because of their connection.

Otherwise, his senior sister had no causality with Lin Yuan, and even if she was resurrected, it wouldn't have been her turn.

"The Jade Mansion Master."

Lin Yuan looked towards the deepest part of the Chaos Void, where the Jade Mansion Master's time loop region was located.

"There is no possibility of breaking through the time loop."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The time loop test had the highest chance of passing the first cycle.

With each additional cycle, the chance of passing decreased.

Now, nearly ten million universe eras had passed since the Jade Mansion Master fell into the time loop.

The Jade Mansion Master had gone through countless cycles within the time loop, and it was estimated that he couldn't even maintain his self, let alone break through the time loop itself.

"Break."

Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn as he forcefully broke open the time loop that the Jade Mansion Master had fallen into.

A terrifying backlash swept through, but Lin Yuan easily blocked it.

A figure in a black robe was pulled out by Lin Yuan.

"Me."

Freed from the time loop, the Jade Mansion Master quickly recovered, and numerous memories resurfaced.

"Thank you, Great Time Being."

The Jade Mansion Master immediately bowed to Lin Yuan.

Trapped in the time loop, the endless cycle of losing one's self was a torment for any Great Sage.

Lin Yuan forcefully broke the time loop, endured the backlash from the time lines, and rescued him, which was no different from the grace of resurrection.

"I never imagined that the Demon Jade Space I casually created would nurture a Great Time Being?"

The Jade Mansion Master was filled with emotion in his heart. After emerging from the time loop, he became aware of everything.

Half an hour passed.

All the powerful beings who had a causal relationship with Lin Yuan and had perished in the past were resurrected.

Lin Yuan would generally greet these resurrected beings and briefly explain the reason for their resurrection.

Otherwise, being resurrected by a Great Time Being for no apparent reason would be a terrifying experience for most beings.

"That's about it."

Lin Yuan stopped, looking at the newly resurrected beings, their faces filled with joy, and his mood was naturally good.

When one ascends, all related beings should have a chance to start anew.

With Lin Yuan's current strength and foundation, doing this wouldn't cost him much.

Even if he had to endure the backlash from the time lines, he could easily withstand it without any impact on himself.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He immediately split off a thread of his mind and sank it deep into his consciousness.

Because at this moment, the majestic Gate of Universes began to emit a hidden aura.
