Conditions to Open the Tower of Time

"Heh, so boring. This 'Father Creation Project' is still so troublesome."

The Face's interest was completely extinguished by the Wind Dragon's words.

"Sigh... making it so complicated, won't it all end up being done my way anyway?"

The Face exhaled a breath towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was immediately suppressed in place by the breath, unable to move.

"Riiip..."

Lu Chen's Celestial Pool was directly opened in the void.

"Ha, the primordial Celestial Pool has already taken shape? What good luck."

"It's been so many years since I've seen one, I'm a little nostalgic."

The Face looked at Lu Chen's opened Celestial Pool, its expression filled with nostalgia and intoxication.

"Since that's the case, I'll add a little fuel to the fire and help you develop faster."

The Face looked at Lu Chen's developing Celestial Pool and formed hand seals.

A wave of Power of Time slowly permeated the Azure Emperor Divine Tree.

"That's enough. With this Power of Time, it'll save a lot of effort when competing for the Divine Son position in the Myriad Worlds later."

"It seems I need to go back there."

The Face looked at the Azure Emperor Divine Tree, now permeated with the Power of Time, and made plans in its heart.

Its hands continued to move, and after completing the seals, the Face placed the Small Planet it had just created above the Azure Emperor Divine Tree.

The Small Planet began to revolve around the acquired Azure Emperor Divine Tree.

"Hahaha, there we go. The first Small Planet is in place."

"They insisted I guide them step by step. I don't know what they were thinking. Why not just arrange it directly?"

The Face smiled with satisfaction as it watched the planet integrate into Lu Chen's Celestial Pool.

"What did you do to me? I don't want to carry the Myriad Worlds for you, let me go!"

Lu Chen noticed the changes within his body, feeling a sense of panic, and began to struggle.

"That's not up to you. I came here to wait for you to understand, not to wait for your decision."

"When the time is right, we will naturally cast the Myriad Worlds upon you. This is your Karma, your Destiny."

The Face ignored Lu Chen's struggles, its hands continuing their work.

Spiritual Energy materialized in the void, levitating the Primal Chaos Greatsword out of thin air.

Without looking back, it flung the Primal Chaos Greatsword away.

"Remember, I am carrying the Myriad Worlds for you now. One day, you will have to take all this suffering back."

The Face's voice gradually turned cold.

A killing aura that had stained a million people surged from the Face.

"This is your mission for existing, and it is also my mission for coming here."

"Bang..."

The Primal Chaos Greatsword plunged straight into the central stone monument, serving as its core support.

The power of the entire planet began to converge at the Sword Hilt of the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

Slowly, a hollowed-out Planet Jade Token appeared in the socket of the Primal Chaos Greatsword's hilt.

"I'll stabilize the flow of time on this level for you first. Once you collect the Five Elements Essence of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, you can directly use the Power of Time on this level."

The Face looked at the Starry Sky Jade Token that appeared in the hilt and blew a breath towards it.

"Oh wow, the Key of Time. It's 200 years earlier than last time."

"If I had this kind of luck, that incident wouldn't have happened."

The jade token rotated clockwise.

An ancient aura instantly erupted around the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

Lu Chen could see his clothes rapidly decaying and shattering.

"This is the key to opening the gate of time. I have condensed all the Power of Time on this level into the jade token. Now, it belongs to you."

The Face blew another breath, controlling the Planet Jade Token to fly towards Lu Chen.

"You only need the most common Five Elements Essence to open the Tower of Time on this level."

"So, what do you think? Is this 'Father Creation Project' considerate this time? And there are no extra fees."

The Face's tone became somewhat unrestrained, carrying a hint of aversion towards 'time'.

Lu Chen looked at the Planet Jade Token in front of him.

His emotions were already on the verge of collapse, thanks to the Face.

"Who are you people, and what do you want? Please don't toy with me, I'm just an ordinary villager."

Lu Chen shouted at the Face. When he was facing Bai Ze's people, he could still muster a sliver of defiance.

But facing this Face, it was like facing a void.

Fear, powerlessness, terror – all the negative emotions appeared on Lu Chen one by one.

"I am you."

The Face slowly explained, looking at Lu Chen's fear.

"Youth is wonderful, you still have a sense of awe. I haven't had this sense of awe for a long time."

"Counting the time, you won't be able to hold onto this sense of awe for much longer either."

Lu Chen's voice was already bordering on hysterical, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I just want to find my grandpa."

Face: "Grandpa, I haven't heard this word in a long time either."

"Hahaha, Grandpa, hahaha."

The Face's voice began to sound a bit deranged.

"You're a lunatic..."

"Sword, come..."

Lu Chen roared, his bloodline circulating wildly within him.

The Primal Chaos Greatsword arrived in response.

Lu Chen broke through the suppression and grasped the Primal Chaos Greatsword with his left hand.

At the same time, he attached the Wind Dragon to the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

"Wind Dragon, let's go."

Lu Chen held the sword backward in his left hand and charged towards the Face.

The Wind Dragon's phantom appeared, coiling around the sword and extending a three-zhang sword aura.

"Bang..."

Lu Chen used his Movement Technique, jumping in front of the wooden figure.

He swiftly swung his sword.

He slashed at the wooden figure.

As the light fell, the wooden figure was split in half.

It was somewhat unexpected; the Face did not resist.

A crack began to tear from the top of the Face's head.

"Why didn't you resist?"

Lu Chen looked at the wooden figure split in half, his expression somewhat dazed.

"The primary objective of the 'Zao Die Project' is to comply with the guest's wishes. Since the guest wants to attack me, I naturally cannot resist."

"If you need me again next time, please call me promptly. Remember, my name is Lu Zao Die, ohoho."

As the voice faded, the Face gradually dissipated.

"Wait, you haven't told me yet, what exactly is your purpose?"

Seeing the Face dissipate, Lu Chen acted almost frantically.

He ran to the wooden figure, rummaging everywhere, and loudly calling out to the Face.

"Little Lu, he seems to have left. I don't think he intended to harm you."

The Wind Dragon couldn't help but interject, watching Lu Chen run around anxiously.

"He left? What did he want?"

Hearing the Wind Dragon's voice, Lu Chen collapsed onto the ground.

"Even though I knew he probably wouldn't hurt me, his face was exactly like mine, which always felt very strange."

"Moreover, I felt an inexplicable fear towards him, a feeling I didn't have when facing Bai Ze and the others. It felt like a suppression at a bloodline level."

Lu Chen picked up the Planet Jade Token from the ground and said to the Wind Dragon.

His voice sounded utterly exhausted.

"Wind Dragon, you've lived for so many years. Do you know why he wants me to bear the burden of the Myriad Worlds?"

Lu Chen extended his hands, summoning the phantoms of two Azure Emperor Divine Trees.

A small planet was rotating on the divine tree phantoms.

"This innate Azure Emperor Divine Tree was the first thing he gave me, just asking me to agree to bear the Myriad Worlds for him.

Now he's giving me another planet. You can tell how powerful this planet's future is, yet he just gave it to me so casually. This makes me even more afraid."

The Wind Dragon hovered in the air, looking at the Azure Emperor Divine Tree in Lu Chen's hand, then thinking about the abilities the Face possessed just now.

Its expression slowly became somewhat playful and twisted, as if it had thought of a possibility.

Yet, it also felt a hint of hesitation in its heart, not wanting to speak its mind directly.

"Little Lu, there's something I shouldn't say, but I don't know if I should."

Hearing the Wind Dragon's words, Lu Chen looked up. "What is it? Go ahead and say it."

"Could that Face be your father? Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to give you equipment?"

"Or maybe you're his father, and he used the Power of Time to find you from the future. Otherwise, why would he call you Lu Zao Die?"

The Wind Dragon's words, which it had prepared, changed at the last moment as they reached its mouth.

It decided to wait and see for now, not revealing this possibility.

After all, the development of the current era was incredibly rapid and brutal.

Not everyone could accept the truth if it were spoken.

"Don't you think so? You guys look so alike, one of you has to be the son, right? It's either you or him."

Lu Chen listened to the Wind Dragon's words and felt that this was just the Wind Dragon seizing an opportunity to mock him.

Before the Wind Dragon could react.

He deftly grabbed the Primal Chaos Greatsword with both hands and flipped over, slashing at the Wind Dragon.

"Cough... cough..."

A series of rapid coughs came from behind Lu Chen.

"Wait a moment, there's one thing I forgot to mention."

The Face appeared from the Azure Emperor Divine Tree that Lu Chen had released, stopping Lu Chen from pursuing the Wind Dragon.

"Holy crap, didn't you leave? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Lu Chen looked at the Face, which had returned, and became somewhat nervous, adopting a defensive stance.

"No need to be nervous. I just forgot to ask earlier. Have you thought about it?"

The Face's voice was a little urgent.

"Do you want to bear the Myriad Worlds for me? After all, it's not easy for me to come back once."

Listening to the Face's demeanor, the Wind Dragon's expression slowly turned grim.

Every word the Face spoke seemed to be revealing to the Wind Dragon, I am not from this era. It was as if every action was saying, I have a purpose for returning, and my return has cost me greatly. I can't say it clearly, just agree to my request quickly.

"I will exchange it with immense power. If you've thought about it, tell me quickly. The longer you drag it out, the greater the loss you'll suffer in the future."

Each of the Face's words was an insinuation, constantly guiding Lu Chen to agree.

This matter seemed to weigh heavily on the Face's mind; its expression was cold and anxious as it spoke of this issue.

"Is that all? If you're done, hurry up and leave. I won't agree to your request, and I don't need your power."

Lu Chen was like a startled bird. He didn't listen to anything else the Face was saying.

He simply carried the greatsword on his shoulders, his eyes fixed on the Face, fearing any entanglement with bad karma.
