Wait for Lin Yi to Celebrate Together, Quasi-Venerable Lords!

Upon hearing Lin Yi mention a suggestion, Ellis, seated at the head of the table, slightly raised his chin, indicating that he could speak.

All eyes in the hall were once again focused on Lin Yi, eager to see what suggestions this newcomer, on whom Ellis had placed high hopes, could offer to break the deadlock.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Yi slowly said, "Has anyone considered pooling Points points to help Ellis exchange for the Time Origin Law aid for enlightenment he needs?"

The moment these words were spoken, the conference hall fell silent.

Although many deities had vaguely considered this idea during the previous situation analysis, none of them voiced it. They never expected Lin Yi to bring it up directly.

Prison Suppressor's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Ellis in the main seat. If Ellis refused, reacted coldly, or even made sarcastic remarks... the scene would be extremely awkward.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's suggestion, Ellis himself showed a clear look of surprise for the first time in his eyes, which seemed to contain a vortex of time and space.

He didn't respond immediately, but just looked at Lin Yi. His expression became somewhat complicated on his icy face, and the corner of his mouth twitched, eventually turning into an enigmatic smile.

"Lin Yi." Ellis's voice was unreadable, but seemed to carry a hint of something else than usual. "You certainly dare to think and say things. But... how do you know everyone will be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled.

"Lord Ellis, why do you think that everyone is unwilling?" he countered, then turned his gaze away from Ellis and instead looked at the other deities around the oval table.

What do you all think?

Seeing that Ellis didn't make any sarcastic remarks, Prison Suppressor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said without any hesitation, "I agree."

Sijia chimed in, "I agree. Once Ellis breaks through, all the problems will be solved."

Immediately afterwards, several Spirit Race who were a step behind also expressed their support.

"If Lord Ellis can master the Origin Law as soon as possible, he can naturally reclaim the base. I fully support him."

"Rather than being cornered, it's better to take a gamble. I agree."

Seeing that Lin Yi's proposal was not ridiculed by Ellis, and that some deities had already seconded it, the other Origin Treasure Deities deities also began to get interested.

They certainly had some opinions about Ellis, but they were more aware of the current situation.

An enemy force of over six thousand divine units is approaching, and this concerns everyone's interests. By agreeing now, we can resolve the immediate crisis without worrying about losing face by standing up alone to "appease" Ellis.

As for those resources... they really are nothing in the face of a crisis of this magnitude.

As for those who might still harbor some reluctance... they would absolutely not dare to voice their opposition at this moment.

At this point, disagreeing would not only offend Ellis, but also Lin Yi, and would make one appear selfish and inconsiderate in front of all colleagues.

Being targeted by the base's current and future top combatants is no joke.

Immediately, a chorus of approving voices filled the hall.

"Your Excellency Lin Yi is right, I agree."

"I second that. Concentrating resources to help His Ellis achieve a breakthrough is indeed the best course of action."

"No objections, let's do it this way."

Although their tones and expressions differed, the result was surprisingly consistent—no one objected.

Lin Yi looked at Ellis again. "Lord Ellis, you see, the problem has been solved. Furthermore, Lord Ellis doesn't need to feel too much pressure about this. Because..." His tone remained calm, as if he were discussing a trivial matter, "I should be able to grasp the basics of the Time Origin Law in no time."

???

The gods, who had just been clamoring and expressing their support, all paused in their actions.

Even Ellis, who always maintained a cold and indifferent demeanor, showed an expression that was almost as if she had seen a ghost for the first time on her perpetually icy face.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ellis stammered, "You... what did you just say? You just said 'beginner'..."

... instead of touching?

He knew very well that these two words meant worlds apart in terms of understanding the Origin Law!

Touching it only gave me a superficial understanding, less than 0.1%, something I could see but couldn't touch.

Entering the realm requires at least a 1% comprehension level, enabling one to initially mobilize the power of the Origin Law —a qualitative leap!

Everyone, including Prison Suppressor and Sijia, held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lin Yi's face, waiting for his confirmation.

If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible for a true Venerable Lord Rank being to appear here, they might even suspect that they were being played by a Sovereign-level being and were experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Under countless gazes that seemed to freeze in place, Lin Yi remained calm, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact. "Yes. My seclusion during this period has yielded some results; I'm on the verge of mastering it." He paused, then continued, "I estimate that it will take no more than seven hundred standard years before I can formally enter the Time Origin Law."

Seven hundred standard years... Introduction to the Time Origin Law...

Everyone was completely stunned by the almost absolute confidence in Lin Yi's words.

They were all people who had begun to try to comprehend the Origin Law, and they knew how difficult it was.

The understanding of the Origin Law is full of uncertainty. Often, a tiny bottleneck can block endless years. How could they possibly predict time so accurately? This completely overturned their understanding!

But then, upon further reflection... a seemingly absurd yet plausible thought arose in everyone's minds.

After all, Lin Yi had gone from knowing nothing about the Origin Law to being on the verge of "entering the door" in less than two thousand years.

Perhaps... for a monster like Lin Yi, the difficulty of the Origin Law is about the same as the difficulty for them to comprehend ordinary laws?

The estimate of seven hundred years might even be considered a rather conservative estimate by Lin Yi himself.

Thinking of this, many gods looked at Ellis with some strange expressions.

After all, not long ago Ellis told Lin Yi, "The future is yours," and they both agreed with this statement. But... isn't this future coming a little too fast?

Who knows, Lin Yi might even surpass Ellis and then hand the future back to Ellis?

Just as everyone was filled with excitement and their thoughts were in turmoil, Bota of the Machine Race was the first to recover from his shock. Data streams flashed rapidly in his eyes as he grasped the key information in Lin Yi's words and immediately said, "Lord Lin Yi, are you saying... at most seven hundred standard years? Doesn't that mean that before the alien races and the Abyss-Devouring Allied Forces arrive at the outskirts of our base, you... will be able to enter the Time Origin Law?"

Lin Yi nodded and affirmed, "That's right. That's why I said Ellis doesn't need to feel too much pressure. My suggestion to concentrate resources wasn't simply to help Ellis break through, but also to deal with the crisis."

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, sweeping across the entire room, his tone carrying a chilling killing intent. "I want to take this opportunity... to capture them all!"

"If Lord Ellis can, with everyone's help, master the Time Origin Law in the near future, we can then lead separate teams to meet the enemy's two armies in one fell swoop!"

Divide and attack the enemy separately, then annihilate them in one fell swoop!

Leave all six thousand of their gods behind!

These words, filled with absolute confidence and murderous intent, resounded like thunder in the hall!

After hearing this, Ellis was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Haha! Hahaha! Excellent! What a brilliant split-up operation, annihilating them in one fell swoop!" Ellis slammed his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with unprecedented fighting spirit and excitement. "Lin Yi, since you have this idea, how can I let you down!"

As he spoke, he surveyed the entire room, "I, Ellis, will remember everyone's help today! I've taken your resource Points, and I will repay Ellis double afterwards!"

Looking at the cold and unrestrained Lin Yi and Ellis, after a brief silence, a fiery emotion erupted in the hearts of all the Origin Treasure Deities like a volcanic eruption.

Previously, facing an enemy force of over six thousand divine units, everyone felt a heavy burden and a dilemma.

But now, Lin Yi's astonishing words and Ellis's agreement have instantly transformed the crisis into... an unprecedented hunting feast!

"That's right! If Lord Ellis and Lord Lin Yi can both master the Time Origin Law, with two quasi -Venerable Lord Rank combatants in charge, splitting up to fight... that's not just defense, that's a feast!"

A Spirit Race Origin Treasure Deities's eyes flashed with excitement as he exclaimed, "Normally, it's incredibly difficult to take down a high-level god, but this kind of large-scale battle, especially if we have an absolute advantage in high-end combat power... is the perfect opportunity to double our fortune!"

"A crushing battle... truly rare!" A Thunder Mist Race Origin Treasure Deities, his body crackling with electricity, spoke with a trembling voice—a sign of extreme excitement in their race. "At that time, we will cooperate with the two Quasi-Lords, merely needing to contain, divide, and pursue... the results will undoubtedly far surpass the ordinary!"

"The Abyss-Devouring Allied Forces and those alien races have brought a whole host of gifts this time! The six thousand divine units alone are an unimaginable fortune, not to mention that many of them must be at the peak of the upper realm, or even Origin Treasure Deities!"

The other Holy Radiance Race Origin Treasure Deities's breathing quickened, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for resources.

At their level, there are very few resources left that can tempt them, but the potential gains from an unprecedented annihilation campaign are definitely among them.

The pressure instantly transformed into a fervent anticipation of victory and spoils!

"Lord Lin Yi, Lord Ellis, our clan will immediately mobilize all the deities at the base, inventory all available Points and treasures, and provide full support!"

The Holy Radiance Race representative, who had just been merely going along with the flow, now spoke with fervent enthusiasm.

"My Machine Race is no different! On matters of utmost importance concerning the survival of our base and the interests of our race, we must give it our all! I will send word immediately, and the first batch of resources will be gathered within half a day!"

Bota's voice remained calm, but the frequency with which the data streams in his eyes flickered betrayed his inner turmoil.

The Machine Race values data, and this almost guaranteed profit and excess returns are clearly very attractive.

"I am Crystal Spirit Race..."

"I am from the Li Race..."

"I am from the Thunder Mist Race..."

In an instant, almost all the deities around the oval table reiterated their support, stating that they would not only provide assistance but also act swiftly.

Provide as much support as possible.

This is not just about the spoils of war, but also about showing Lin Yi our stance.

Some people even started estimating on the spot how much "living money" the clan's deities could raise, and gave an approximate figure.

The originally solemn and tense meeting hall now resembled a mixture of a pre-battle mobilization and spoils-dividing meeting, filled with excitement and restlessness.

Finally, everyone unanimously focused their attention on Lin Yi and Ellis again, speaking earnestly and wishing them in unison, "May Lord Ellis, with the help of these resources, achieve great success and completely master the Time Origin Law!"

"I also wish Lin Yi a successful seclusion and that he will successfully enter the Hall of Origin Law within the year!"

"When the two of you stand shoulder to shoulder, you will surely sweep away the invading enemy and uphold the prestige of our Pan-Spirit Alliance!"

"May you both be elevated to the ranks of supreme rulers!" Many deities even uttered similar words.

While this statement may sound exaggerated at first glance, it's not entirely wrong. After all, once one's comprehension reaches 1%, allowing for the initial mobilization of the power of the Origin Law, their life essence and combat strength undergo a qualitative change, creating a vast chasm between them and ordinary peak-level high-ranking gods. Such beings are usually revered as "quasi-Lords."

"Quasi-Lord" is still in the "Lord" sequence; it's just that they are still in the internship period and can only be officially recognized after accumulating enough energy in their bodies and completing the final breakthrough.

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Ellis's smile faded slightly, and he regained his usual coldness. He nodded slightly, accepting the crowd's well wishes.

Lin Yi simply nodded calmly.

Now that the most important strategic decisions have been finalized, there is no need for all the Origin Treasure Deities to continue discussing the specific matters such as subsequent resource gathering, preparation for war, and tactical refinement.

Ellis declared decisively, "Now that it's agreed, everyone go about their own business. Meeting adjourned!"

After the meeting concluded, the many Origin Treasure Deities left the decision-making hall without lingering, hurriedly returning to their respective clans' residences or contact points.

They needed to convey the spirit of the meeting as soon as possible and mobilize all available resources. The matter was of great importance and involved significant interests, so their efficiency was naturally extremely high.

Lin Yi exchanged a few words with Prison Suppressor and Sijia, then summoned his Flying Shuttle and returned to his residence.

He needs to continue his seclusion to try and reach that final 0.01%.

As the holders of the Source Treasures returned to their respective clan circles, three bombshell announcements, like thunderclaps, quickly stirred up a massive wave within the Frost Eternal Base.

The alien races and the Abyss-Devouring Allied Forces have joined forces, gathering over six thousand divine units, and are approaching the Frost Eternal Base!

In response to the crisis, all the Origin Treasure Deities unanimously agreed to concentrate base resources and prioritize Lord Ellis's exchange for Time Origin Law treasures to help him break through as quickly as possible!

The third piece of news instantly sparked the most heated discussion:

Lord Lin Yi publicly announced that he had reached the threshold of the Time Origin Law and expected to officially enter the Time Origin Law within a maximum of seven hundred standard years!

"What?! Lord Lin Yi... you've entered the Time Origin Law?! Within seven hundred standard years?"

"How long has he been at the base? From the time he began to comprehend it until now, has it been two thousand years?"

"If you two can truly achieve your breakthrough before the enemy arrives... with two Quasi-Lords in command, this battle... we're guaranteed to win! No, we'll make a killing!"

Shock, astonishment, joy... a range of emotions spread throughout the base.

Especially in the areas where Human Race were active, the impact of this third piece of news reached its peak.

In a medium-sized quiet room in the base's public training area, several high-ranking Human Race who were exchanging ideas suddenly received a message from their clansmen. After reading it, one of the burly men with a rugged face slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "Lin Yi is indeed amazing! He's entered the realm of Time Origin Law, hahaha! Let's see who in the base dares to look down on my Human Race from now on!"

Beside him, a middle-aged deity with a gentle demeanor, his face also glowing, nodded and said, "Prison Suppressor holds the Source Treasure and oversees the area, Sijia excels in affairs, and now Lord Lin Yi has even surpassed him. Our Human Race's position in the Frost Eternal Base can be considered firmly in second place."

Even some Human Race deities who were browsing quests in the quest hall or processing items in the trading hall seemed to straighten their backs a bit more at this moment, and their tone unconsciously carried a bit more confidence when they talked to deities of other races.

When deities from other groups ask curiously or congratulatory questions, they often wave their hands and pretend to be calm, saying, "Lin Yi is exceptionally talented, so it's only natural that he has made such progress." But the barely suppressed smile on their lips betrays their true thoughts.

The phrase "to share in the glory" is perfectly embodied at this moment.

After all, within the Human Race, everyone represents their own individual or civilization, but outside, they all share a unified identity: the Human Race!

Lin Yi's rise and extraordinary performance were not only a personal honor, but also enhanced the status and influence of the entire Human Race in the Frost Eternal Base. All the Human Race present truly felt the benefits of this honor—other gods looked at them with more respect, the conditions for cooperation were more favorable, and even in minor daily frictions, the other side was more willing to back down.

While the entire Frost Eternal Base was in high gear due to these three pieces of news, filled with a sense of tension that a great battle was about to begin, as well as a strong expectation of victory and rich rewards, Lin Yi, who was at the heart of this storm, was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

He has returned to his residence and once again entered into the deepest level of seclusion.

Deep within his soul, the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi transformed from the burning purple mist provided a stable supply; before him, the "Time Source Law Vein Diagram" continuously emitted waves that guided resonance; his own understanding of the Time Origin Law, which had reached 0.93%, acted like the most precise navigator, guiding him to launch a continuous assault on that final 1% barrier.

Time slipped away quietly in the midst of selfless meditation.

One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years...

From the outside world's perspective, these three hundred years have been a period of intense preparation for war.

After gathering resources from various groups, Ellis, having obtained the Time Origin Law treasure, also entered into deep seclusion.

The base has increased its perimeter patrols and reconnaissance, and various defensive fortifications are undergoing final inspections and reinforcements.

Scattered news about enemy Dynamic continued to arrive, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

For Lin Yi, these past three hundred years have been a difficult journey, a final sprint towards the finish line.

He was completely immersed in the fundamental mysteries of time, oblivious to everything around him.

Until the 252nd standard year.

On this day, Lin Yi, who was immersed in enlightenment, was gently awakened by a special message from Xuanji: "Master, I have received a message from Senior Brother Prison Suppressor."

Lin Yi's heart stirred. Prison Suppressor knew that he was cultivating. Although he had told Prison Suppressor before he went into seclusion that he could contact him directly if anything happened, Senior Brother Prison Suppressor had not disturbed him in any way over the years.

The sudden message must mean something major has happened.

Therefore, Lin Yi paused his cultivation and instructed, "Xuanji, check your senior brother's message."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, Prison Suppressor's voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind, "Junior Brother, we've just received confirmation that Ellis has emerged from seclusion! He just officially announced at the Spirit Race's base that his comprehension of the Time Origin Law has reached 1%, successfully entering the realm of the Time Origin Law!"

"The Spirit Race proposed a grand banquet to celebrate, but Ellis refused. He said..."

Prison Suppressor paused for a moment, then added with a hint of a smile, "What's the point of doing it alone? If you're going to do it, wait until Lin Yi comes out of seclusion, then we can do it together."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's lips curled into a slight smile.

Ellis is quite interesting.

Refusing to enjoy the glory alone, insisting on waiting for him to share it... this is both an acknowledgment and expectation of him, and probably also carries a hint of competition.

"Xuanji, please send a message to my senior brother and tell him that I know. Please ask him to congratulate Ellis for me. Also, please tell Ellis that the idea of celebrating together is excellent, and I look forward to it."

After saying that, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, then focused all his attention back on comprehending the meaning.

Ellis withstood the expectations and pressure from everyone, turning them into motivation, and achieved a breakthrough.

Other exceptional talents would definitely feel a lot of pressure.

But Lin Yi didn't care at all, because he had absolute confidence in his... Purple Mist Space.

Thinking of this, he silently checked his progress in comprehending the Time Origin Law.

0.98%.

We're just 0.02% away from that final step.

"Continue."

The Spiritual Enlightenment Qi burned silently, and the threads of time became increasingly clear in my consciousness.

One hundred and seventy-three standard years, in the final sprint, seemed exceptionally long, yet also fleeting.

Finally, on this day...

In the quiet room, Lin Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly underwent a subtle and indescribable change in his already restrained and harmonious aura.

A deeper, more essential power, as if touching some underlying rule of the universe, naturally emanated from him.

The surrounding time seemed to shift and pulsate subtly, resonating silently with his location.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, the illusion of time no longer flowed, but transformed into a pure yet profound silver that seemed to reflect the passage of time for eternity.

An unprecedented sense of control arose from the deepest part of my soul.

That was not an illusion of sudden increase in power, but a fundamental leap in cognition.

Lin Yi's mind stirred slightly.

A wisp of silver light, containing a completely different level of power, quietly appeared at his fingertips.

Although it is still very weak, it can indeed be initially mobilized and aroused by him.

1%.

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Lin Yi's face.

The Time Origin Law: Formal Introduction.
