Time Deceleration

In the distant starry sky, a massive spaceship is preparing to depart.

This is a Eternal Crystal Battleship, specially built for war. It is dozens of times larger and more expensive than Lin Zhen's Eternal Crystal Spaceship.

Not only can it fly at the speed of light, but it is also equipped with powerful firepower and Entrapment Net. Its combat power is such that even the army of the Tianhe Empire would have to give way.

Inside the warship's control room, a gloomy-faced martial artist wearing an eye patch stood facing another martial artist.

This martial artist Lin Zhen, recognized him; he was the one from the World Stone, Tian Ci from heaven.

Tian Ci is now a super expert at the Star System Level One, his face beaming with confidence.

However, the One-Eyed Dragon standing in front of him was no less imposing than him, and was also a Star System Level One expert.

"Xi Lan Ke, are you all ready?"

"Tian Ci, don't call me 'sir.' I, Xi Lan Ke, am nothing but a despised bastard. The title 'sir' makes me feel disgusted."

"Haha~! You're so straightforward. Alright, Xi Lan Ke, this matter absolutely cannot have any mishaps."

"Don't worry, if I, Xi Lan Ke, were brainless, I would probably have been captured and executed by the Tianhe Empire's army long ago. The fact that I'm still doing so well today speaks volumes."

Tian Ci nodded, but still said with some unease, "You said you communicated with your former subordinates, but have you considered that your subordinates have all been mentally controlled by Lin Zhen? He can't possibly speak for you. Only Lin Zhen, who holds their lives in his hands, is worthy of their loyalty."

"Hehe! Of course I know that, but what I told them was that I would be going to Sun Territory on New Year's Eve. Guess how Lin Zhen will react?"

Tian Ci thought for a moment, "If I were Lin Zhen, I would definitely use this time to cultivate desperately, and then ask my friends to come and help me when the New Year is approaching, waiting for you to walk into my trap."

Xi Lan Ke laughed heartily, "That's right, any normal person would do that, but he would never have imagined that I would launch an attack four months in advance. At this point, he probably wasn't fully prepared."

"That was indeed a clever plan. So it seems I made the right choice in coming to you."

"Even if you, Tian Ci, hadn't come looking for me, I still wouldn't have let Lin Zhen off the hook. How dare he take over my Black Pearl and my men? That's a provocation against me, and I absolutely won't let him get away with it. Besides, there's your commission involved. I have no choice but to do this deal."

"I was originally planning to use the Sub-Light Speed Spaceship, but with this Eternal Crystal Battleship you gave me, I can reach the Sun Territory tonight. You can trust me; as soon as I arrive, Lin Zhen and his Sun Territory will be finished, not a single one will be spared!"

"Very well, then Xi Lan Ke, please set off."

With that, Tian Ci turned to leave the spaceship.

"Wait for my good news. I will return to the Sun Territory tonight, and perhaps tomorrow morning you will see news of the Sun Territory's destruction in the Dimensional Universe."

"Then I'll wait."

Tian Ci dodged and left Xi Lan Ke's fleet.

Watching the twelve enormous spaceships depart, Tian Ci coldly said, "Lin Zhen, you killed my clone. I must avenge this. I originally thought that if you could enter the Under-Hundred-Year-Old Training Camp, I would deal with you there. Unfortunately, you were not up to the task, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. Giving away a Eternal Crystal Battleship can be considered revenge for my clone."

Pluto is located at the very edge of the Solar System.

This planet is so far from the sun that it was once excluded from the Solar System by astronomers, who believed it was not one of the nine planets in the Solar System.

But Lin Zhen doesn't think so. This is just a star in the Solar System. Back then, people couldn't go into outer space because they thought it was too far away. But today, Pluto is definitely not far away.

The planet's surface is covered with ice that never melts, which is shaped into all sorts of bizarre forms by a hurricane that reaches level 15.

From Lin Zhen's position, the sun appeared as an almost invisible pale blue dot, not much larger than a star.

Sunlight has never graced this cold, barren land.

The sub-zero temperatures of over 100 degrees Celsius prevent any life from existing here. However, Lin Zhen form is Black Hole Beast, a variant of the Fire Qilin, and is not afraid of such extreme cold.

While breathing lightly, my attention was entirely focused on the Dark Star Space.

On the central continent of Dark Star, Star Fruit Tree soar into the clouds, but they cannot penetrate the atmosphere, which is several times thicker than Earth's.

The gaze travels through the layers of branches and leaves of the Star Fruit Tree to the central area.

The Sky Dome.

This complex, originally built by some unknown War General, once again became the dwelling place of Lin Zhen's clone.

However, at this moment, his clone is in front of a cluster of Star Crystal, quietly waiting for it to mature.

Nearly thirty Planet Crystal are about to evolve into Star Crystal.

The soft starlight fell on her, and Lin Zhen almost became one with nature.

This feeling of patiently Bloom made Lin Zhen feel somewhat excited.

The Star Stage is almost here!

In his previous life, Lin Zhen died after failing to break through the Meteor Stage. At that time, seeing a Comet Stage or Satellite Stage was considered an unapproachable achievement.

But in this life, he is about to advance to the Star Stage, and his combat power is unmatched. Other Star Stage are like chickens and dogs in his eyes.

Even Black Hole are no longer an option; his current enemy is at the Star System Stage.

What is the concept of Star System Stage?

Within the Milky Way Galaxy spanning tens of thousands of light-years, there are trillions of people, and the strongest is the Emperor, who is the ruler of the Star System Stage!

Most importantly, he accomplished all of this in less than ten years.

Looking down at the Star Crystal that were about to mature, Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Whether he can contend with the Star System Stage depends on the effect of this breakthrough, so how could he not be anxious?

But as this urgent thought began to take root, Lin Zhen suddenly realized that her mindset was unstable.

"No way! This absolutely won't do!"

"It's just a breakthrough to the Star Stage; how can it shake my resolve?"

"If I remain in this agitated state, even if I achieve a breakthrough, it probably won't yield any good results. I need to calm down."

Lin Zhen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, but still felt it wasn't enough, so he simply took out the Pocket Watch containing the Time Stone.

"The more critical the moment, the calmer I need to be. I'll just slow down the passage of time and take this opportunity to toughen up my mind."

After the Cosmic Crystal was added to the Pocket Watch, the flow of time around it immediately slowed down.

The time flow rate of one to ten made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

His heart calmed down, and the desire for a breakthrough seemed to fade. He was no longer so eager, and his state of mind improved.

Gently holding the Time Stone in his hand, Lin Zhen's Mental Power wandered back and forth, and at this moment, his consciousness became somewhat hazy.

The howling hurricanes on Pluto became viscous, like the spring breeze in a Jiang Nan town, gentle and warm.

He could even see the distant horizon, the hazy, almost invisible sun, its rays falling imperceptibly onto Pluto.

The light fell on the iceberg not far away, emitting a faint, colorful glow that would be almost invisible to the naked eye unless one had excellent visibility.

"When time slows down, everything seems so beautiful."

A gust of wind blew by, and a piece of solid ice in the distance was snapped in two and crashed into the part of the colorful light.

Lin Zhen couldn't bear to see all of this ruined, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and point at the flying ice. "You'd better slow down."

A miracle has happened!

The movement speed of the solid ice really slowed down at that moment, dropping by a factor of ten!

As the speed decreased, the ice, having lost its impact, You You collided with it and fell without causing any significant change.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was shocked!

He succeeded!

He actually managed to Time Deceleration!

In the Time Law, acceleration is the easiest, stillness is extremely difficult, and reversal is the highest level of mystery.

In the process of accelerating to coming to a standstill, there is also a deceleration process. To understand the concept of Time Stop, you must first be able to Time Deceleration.

Only Time Deceleration, slower and slower, will it eventually come to a stop.

However, mastering the art of Time Deceleration is not so easy; being able to slow down even a little bit the first time is already a stroke of good fortune.

By sheer chance, Lin Zhen, with the help of both the Pocket Watch and the Time Stone, entered a profound state of enlightenment and mastered tenfold deceleration on his very first attempt!

Knowing how rare this opportunity was, Lin Zhen dared not be careless in the slightest, and tried her best to maintain this feeling, letting her thoughts wander.

He must seize this opportunity firmly and not let it slip away. Now that it has appeared, he must take full control of the Time Deceleration.

"You need to calm your mind, absolutely calm your mind!"

With his eyes slightly closed, Lin Zhen cast aside all selfish thoughts and distractions, even neglecting the soon-to-mature Star Crystal, and immersed himself in this moment of enlightenment.

The distant sunlight disappeared, and Pluto entered an even colder night.

The wind and snow turned Lin Zhen into an ice sculpture, a snowman.

In the pitch-black night sky, only the cold wind howled.

At midnight, Lin Zhen opened her eyes, which had been closed all along!

His eyes flashed with divine light, and he raised his head, letting out a clear whistle that echoed through the night sky of Pluto.

Whoosh!

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a cluster of mature Star Crystal was plucked from it and then absorbed into his body.

"It's done! Time Deceleration! I've actually mastered Time Deceleration!"

"Then let's press on and break through to the Star Stage in one fell swoop!"

Just as Lin Zhen closed his eyes to cultivate, a Eternal Crystal Battleship was rapidly approaching from a parallel universe in the distance!
