Changing Fate
With the Grey Mirror present, Su Yuan knew clearly that his Future Self, a million years from now, was someone who was constantly observing his Future Self.
This is also why Supreme Wanqing, upon observing Su Yuan's future timeline, discovered that no matter what, he could not prevent Su Yuan from becoming Time Lifeform.
If the two Time Lifeform of the Origin Heaven and Earth, the Chaos Supreme, were willing to pay a terrible price, they could send an avatar into the present time and space.
It's a clone, not an incarnation.
The twelve Time Lifeform clones possessed earth-shattering power, capable of completely collapsing this spacetime, far exceeding the limits that Su Yuan could withstand at this moment.
But it makes no sense.
If the Twelve Time Lifeforms dare to do that, it will attract Su Yuan's Future Self, a million years from now, to descend upon the world.
This is how Supreme Wanqing discovered the truth about Su Yuan's inevitable transformation into Time Lifeform.
Of course, only Su Yuan himself knew the truth; Supreme Wanqing and the other eleven Time Lifeform and Chaos Supreme were unaware of it.
The timeline observed by the Time Lifeform cannot encompass Time Lifeform and beings beyond Time Lifeform; therefore, the Supreme Wanqing could not see the specific process of his all-out effort to stop Su Yuan.
All he knew was that even if he went all out, and even if he joined forces with the other eleven Time Lifeform to stop him, Su Yuan would still become Time Lifeform a million years later.
"The moment I traversed that time and obtained the Grey Mirror, I was destined to become Time Lifeform, destined to become Omniscient Lifeform."
Su Yuan's thoughts drifted.
When he first refined the Grey Mirror, his future timeline had already closed. Even Time Lifeform that transcends the timeline could not stop or change it.
Of course, the Time Lifeform dared not stop it.
After all, anyone with Time Lifeform will observe the future timeline before taking action, knowing in advance what their success rate is in accomplishing their task.
If the success rate is zero percent, then no one in their Time Lifeform will actually stumble upon it.
The success rate of preventing Su Yuan from becoming Time Lifeform is zero in any future timeline that Time Lifeform can observe.
"The Lord of the Abyss... is coming for me."
Su Yuan gathered up the sapling that was brimming with life and waited quietly.
This was something Su Yuan had known for a long time through the Grey Mirror, and something he had been waiting for.
The Lord of the Abyss is currently the youngest Chaotic Lifeform among the fifth-level Supreme Being, having only experienced a few dozen Era of Great Destruction.
Although his talent is far inferior to Su Yuan's, it is still incredibly formidable.
Since the Origin Heaven and Earth time, the Evergreen Tree Ancestor has received guidance from more than one Time Lifeform, and it still maintains the strength of the fifth level.
Su Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
In his eyes, the Lord of the Abyss was not only Supreme Being of the fifth level, but also the ultimate victor in another timeline.
In a future without Su Yuan, at the end of the Boundless Void, the Great Universe will return to its origin due to a lack of energy. Numerous Chaotic Lifeform will be forced to devour each other, ultimately giving birth to a monster that will consume all Chaotic Lifeform and possess combat power comparable to that of Time Lifeform.
That monster is the Lord of the Abyss.
To be precise, it wasn't just the Lord of the Abyss who devoured countless Chaotic Lifeform; the Lord of the Abyss's self was corrupted, making him, in essence, an aggregate of countless Chaotic Lifeform.
A moment later.
Qingxu appeared.
"Su Yuan, the Lord of the Abyss wishes to see you."
"Qingxu said."
"Bring him here," Su Yuan said.
Not long after.
The Lord of the Abyss then appeared before Su Yuan.
"Greetings, Supreme Being Su Yuan," said the Supreme Being the Abyss.
"Lord of the Abyss." Su Yuan also looked at the Lord of the Abyss.
"I've heard that the Supreme Being Su Yuan is quite curious about our insights into the Supreme Rule of Time."
The Lord of the Abyss raised his hand, Power of Time continuously condensed and intertwined. "This is the Supreme Rule of Time in my eyes."
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Lord of the Abyss had never visited Su Yuan, and naturally had never revealed his understanding of the Supreme Rule of Time.
"Um."
Su Yuan watched for a while and nodded slightly.
The Lord of the Abyss's understanding of the Supreme Rule of Time was indeed of some help to him.
What do you want me to instruct you on?
Su Yuan asked.
"I already have a direction for my own path, but I just want to know if it's the right one..." the Lord of the Abyss said solemnly.
"The direction of devouring all spirits?" Su Yuan smiled slightly.
The Lord of the Abyss was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes."
The Abyss Path System he pioneered sought to merge all things into the Abyss. Here, "all things" refers to everything: Chaotic Lifeform? The Great Universe? Even the entire Boundless Void?
Several Era of Great Destruction, he had already attempted to devour several Chaotic Lifeform, and so far, he had not sensed any major problems.
"If you continue down this path, you will largely lose yourself in the end."
Su Yuan looked at the Lord of the Abyss and said calmly, "Furthermore, I will not allow you to walk this path to the very end."
These words were spoken.
The Lord of the Abyss fell silent.
"I see."
The Lord of the Abyss felt bitter.
If Su Yuan truly has a Time Lifeform standing behind him.
So Su Yuan's words also represent the will of that Time Lifeform.
Even if the Lord of the Abyss were incredibly arrogant, he wouldn't believe he could stand against a Time Lifeform.
When a Time Lifeform attacks you, it means that all future timelines are completely locked down, and there are no unexpected variables.
This is also the most terrifying aspect of Time Lifeform.
"Rather than devouring all spirits, it is better to become one with all spirits."
Su Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"Transform into all spirits?"
The Lord of the Abyss frowned, vaguely seeing another direction in the path he had taken.
"Many thanks to the Supreme Being Su Yuan."
The Lord of the Abyss bowed solemnly and left, then began to ponder the feasibility of a new path.
"Future...
Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan witnessed the changing fate of the Lord of the Abyss.
"Fate is uncertain."
"Unless there is Time Lifeform, or a higher-level force, to intervene."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
Even Time Lifeform itself can only partially determine the future course of one's destiny.
Ancestral Star of the Heavenly Phoenix.
Ye Kunlun successfully inherited the position of clan leader.
Although the Phoenix Clan has now been incorporated into the Human Race, they still refer to themselves as the Phoenix Clan internally, and the Ancestral Star of the Phoenix Ancestor still belongs to the Phoenix Ancestor.
Given the size of the Phoenix Clan, even after being incorporated into the Human Race, it would still be considered a large faction.
After all, the number of bloodline-based evolvers and cultivators in the Human Race is already enormous. Supreme bloodlines such as True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, which originate from Chaotic Lifeform, are especially praised by a large group of human cultivators.
After Phoenix Ancestor integrated into the Human Race, it became one of the few groups whose influence not only did not decrease but actually expanded.
Of course, this is partly due to the potential of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, and also due to the influence of Ye Kunlun.
As a powerful member of the Heavenly Phoenix who once followed Su Yuan, Ye Kunlun naturally received much care and attention from the Human Race within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
At the celebration of Ye Kunlun's succession to the position of clan leader.
The Fan Yuxing descended and manifested to offer his congratulations.
For a time, Ye Kunlun and Fan Yuxing spent some time together on Blue Star, and they got along very well.
"Brother Ye, congratulations!"
Fan Yuxing smiled and offered his congratulations.
"My becoming the clan leader was entirely due to your help, sir."
Ye Kunlun knew his own family's affairs, and at this moment he realized that Phoenix Ancestor's attitude and high regard for him were all because of Su Yuan.
Without Su Yuan, Ye Kunlun would still be a traitor to the Heavenly Phoenix, and might have already been eliminated by the Phoenix Ancestor.
The arrival of Fan Yuxing to offer congratulations caused a great uproar on Ancestral Star of the Heavenly Phoenix.
Who is Fan Yuxing?
That was Supreme Being Su Yuan's disciple, and currently his only disciple.
Such an identity and such a status make Fan Yuxing the Supreme Being -ranking person in the Human Race, second only to the supreme ruler.
"Fan Yuxing..."
Phoenix Ancestor's gaze also turned to Fan Yuxing.
"Fortunately, Ye Kunlun was spared back then..."
Phoenix Ancestor originally intended to personally greet Fan Yuxing, but seeing Ye Kunlun and Fan Yuxing start chatting, she decided not to show herself.
So as not to disturb the other party.
"For over two hundred thousand years, I have been promoting the integration of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline into the Human Race, which has, to some extent, enhanced the overall potential of the Human Race..."
Phoenix Ancestor thought to herself silently.
In terms of potential, the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline naturally far surpasses that of Human Race.
The latter is too low a starting point; a large portion of individuals in the Human Race are born before even reaching the level of Planetary Lifeform.
Compared to humans, as long as the concentration of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline reaches the standard, it starts as Starry Sky Lifeform.
Ye Kunlun only awakened a trace of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline back then, and easily stepped into the Starry Sky Lifeform level.
Therefore, in order to raise the overall lower limit of the Human Race, Qingxu, the chief steward of the Human Race, has been promoting related plans for hundreds of thousands of years.
The specific plan involves integrating numerous high-potential bloodlines into Human Race.
The integration here is not a high-concentration integration, but merely a trace of integration. In this way, it can both raise the lower limit of the Human Race and not be restricted by bloodline.
The prerequisite for being restricted by the bloodline restriction is embarking on the path of exploring one's bloodline. If one does not take this path but instead becomes a mainstream cultivator who comprehends the Supreme Rule, then one can naturally ignore it.
"Now that the results are remarkable, I should have accumulated enough merit."
A hint of anticipation arose in Phoenix Ancestor's heart. He had gone to great lengths to actively cooperate with the spread of his bloodline among the Human Race, and it was certainly not without ulterior motives.
Phoenix Ancestor's goal was to receive special guidance from Su Yuan.
The so-called specialized guidance was entirely aimed at Phoenix Ancestor, and its effect far exceeded that of Su Yuan's guidance to the Supreme Being in the Boundless Void.
"My talent is not much weaker than that of the Dragon Ancestor. If the Dragon Ancestor could reach the third level, why can't I..."
Phoenix Ancestor thought to herself.
He and the Dragon Ancestor had been fighting since the Era of Creation, and neither side had gained the upper hand. However, now that the Dragon Ancestor had entered the third level, the Phoenix Ancestor naturally felt aggrieved.
"If I could receive special guidance from the Supreme Being Su Yuan, I could also advance to the third level."
Phoenix Ancestor thought to herself.
Ye Kunlun and Fan Yuxing sat facing each other.
"Brother Ye commands the Phoenix Clan, how delightful!"
Fan Yuxing said enviously.
As the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, he was equivalent to a high-ranking official in the Human Race, holding a high position and great power. Coupled with his relationship with Su Yuan, virtually no powerful figure dared to provoke him, so he naturally lived a carefree life.
"Happy?"
"Why don't you become the clan chief?"
Ye Kunlun rolled his eyes.
In terms of rarity, no other status can compare to that of Supreme Being Su Yuan's disciple.
The patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, above whom is the Phoenix Ancestor, and other Supreme Being.
But on Fan Yuxing... only Su Yuan is there.
Apart from Su Yuan, who dares to control Fan Yuxing?
"By the way, what have you been doing for the last few hundred thousand years? Why haven't you shown your true form?" Ye Kunlun asked curiously.
"My true form..." Fan Yuxing sighed, "My true form comprehended the Supreme Rule in the Origin Land."
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Su Yuan brought his true form from the Fan Yuxing to the Seventh Continent of the Origin Land, the Continent of Yuan, to comprehend the Eight Supreme Rules.
He never came out again after that.
All those who act outside the Fan Yuxing are avatars.
As for the true form itself? Ye Kunlun hasn't seen it in the last two hundred thousand years.
"The Origin Land..."
Ye Kunlun glanced at Fan Yuxing.
This kid really doesn't know how lucky he is.
Although nowadays, one can exchange merits earned by the Human Race for Origin Land of the Great Universe.
However, the amount of merit required is still astronomical for ordinary Cosmic Lifeform.
Even if one manages to obtain a spot, they can only stay inside for a maximum of several thousand years.
As for places like Fan Yuxing, which have remained there for over two hundred thousand years... even Ye Kunlun is somewhat envious.
"Hahahaha..." Fan Yuxing blinked, not mentioning that he was not only comprehending the origin in the Origin Land, but also on the Seventh Continent of the Origin Land.
The Seventh Continent of the Origin Land... Over the years, Fan Yuxing was no fool; he naturally knew how precious this continent, which had never appeared in intelligence reports, was, and how much stronger its Supreme Rule fluctuations were than those of the six continents outside.
The Void Realm.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged, with a small tree brimming with boundless vitality floating in front of him.
"Time..
With a slight thought, Su Yuan merged his mind into the small tree, and in a daze, he saw all things returning to chaos, and then creating the world anew.
That is the source of the River of Time, and the beginning of the Supreme Rule of Time.
"Is this the essence of time?"
Su Yuan vaguely sensed many other aspects of the Supreme Rule of Time.
This sapling is the anchor point for the Supreme Wanqing, containing the Dao of the Supreme. The Supreme Being is an existence that has comprehended the Supreme Rule of Time. Observing and feeling such a condensation of the Dao will undoubtedly enhance Su Yuan's understanding.
The Grey Mirror deep within his sea of consciousness, though containing 20% of the core of the Supreme Rule of Time, has not been comprehended by Su Yuan to this day, nor is it something he can comprehend.
The 20% core Supreme Rule is too obscure; for Su Yuan, direct refinement is much simpler.
Indirectly comprehending the Supreme Being's understanding of the Supreme Rule of Time was actually more helpful to Su Yuan.
"Unfortunately, this sapling was merely an anchor casually crafted by Supreme Wanqing, and it cannot withstand too much Supreme enlightenment..."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
However, for Su Yuan at present, it is more than enough.
He doesn't need to fully comprehend the Supreme Rule of Time; comprehending only 80% is enough for him to leap forward and quickly become Time Lifeform, Omniscient Lifeform.
