Istaroth In the fourth Soul Ring that Yin Chen Martial Soul is forming, she carefully peels off the future tributary that represents the "original fourth Soul Skill" and has just begun to condense and form. At the same time, her thoughts span the distance of time and explore the further downstream area.
The resistance is huge.
As if moving through thick amber, every step consumes her original power.
The world is rejecting her "overstepping her authority" behavior and trying to get the future back on track.
Countless chaotic time fragments impacted her perception. There were scenes of ice sheets collapsing, strange figures, the roar of powerful Soul Beast, and figures of Yin Chen fighting in different possibilities...
"Humph..."
Istaroth let out a suppressed groan, and her figure swayed slightly, becoming a bit thinner.
This was more difficult than she expected.
If Yin Chen were not bound to her soul, if she did not represent part of the authority of time, this operation would not be possible at all.
Finally, among the countless chaotic phantoms of the future, she captured the Soul Skill that should have been illuminated and acquired in the more distant "downstream" and originally belonged to Yin Chen Sixth Soul Ring - that represents the future of the sixth Soul Skill.
"It's you."
Istaroth concentrated his last strength, like a skilled fisherman, using an invisible fishing line to accurately hook the weak but extremely powerful future tributary. Then, he violently pulled it upward from the node of "Sixth Soul Ring" and forcibly placed it into the "skill slot" of "Fourth Soul Ring" that was vacant and was being filled by world rules.
This time, it seems to have touched some core mechanism of this world.
An even greater force of repulsion came suddenly, trying to repel this "irregular" existence and turn the future back to "the right track."
Istaroth gritted her teeth and pushed her own time authority to the extreme, forming a thin and tough layer of "time amber" that temporarily wrapped and fixed the forcibly transplanted future tributary, allowing it to forcibly integrate and adapt to the fourth Soul Ring of Yin Chen.
"The rest... it's up to you..."
After doing all this, Istaroth's figure became almost transparent, obviously it consumed a lot of money.
She took a deep look at Yin Chen, who was absorbing the energy of Soul Ring from the outside world, and then slowly sank into the depths of the spiritual sea, falling into a deep sleep to regain her strength.
She has done what she can, changing the future of Yin Chen, so that Soul Skill, which could only be obtained by Sixth Soul Ring, appears on the fourth Soul Ring.
Outside, Yin Chen, who was in agony, suddenly felt that the impact of Ice Prison Ape-Crocodile's remnant soul in the sea of consciousness seemed to have weakened, and a stream of information, accompanied by Soul Ring's huge energy, surged into the depths of his soul.
Countless future fragments and possible branches flashed through his consciousness, and then quickly converged into four words that contained endless mysteries - Here and Now.
At the same time, the Soul Power in his body, infused with the energy of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, surged like a flood that broke a bank, breaking through the forty-level barrier with overwhelming force. The momentum continued unabated, and finally stabilized at forty-two, and was about to break through the forty-third level.
The frost faded away and the trembling of the body stopped.
Yin Chen slowly opened his eyes. For a moment, countless phantoms of time were reflected in his eyes. Then they quickly disappeared and returned to normal. But deep in the eyes, there seemed to be something more.
Zhang Lexuan, who had been paying close attention to him nervously, first breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully absorbed and broken through two levels. Then he immediately noticed that the look on Yin Chen's face was not joy, but a look of surprise, confusion, and even a hint of weirdness.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly took a few steps forward and asked with concern:
"Yin Chen, what's wrong? Is it Soul Skill... is it not what you want? Or is there something wrong?"
What she is most worried about is that the attribute conflict will greatly reduce the effect of Soul Skill, or produce some unknown mutation.
After all, the time attribute is too rare, and the risk of absorbing the ice attribute Soul Ring is unpredictable.
Hearing this, Yin Chen raised his head and looked at Zhang Lexuan, the strange look on his face still remained.
He shook his head with an unbelievable emotion in his tone:
"It's not that it's not bad, Senior Sister, it's that... it's too good, a little too good."
"Too much?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned in confusion.
Soul Skill Being strong is naturally a good thing, why should we overstate it?
"Hmm."
Yin Chen took a deep breath and said:
"It's a very powerful Soul Skill. I like it very much. Senior Sister, you will have a chance to see it."
"Sell it to me."
Zhang Lexuan rolled his eyes, but didn't ask any more questions. After all, his own Soul Skill effect should be kept secret if possible.
"No, it's just that Soul Skill is a bit complicated, and I'm still figuring it out myself."
Yin Chen smiled. As long as Soul Skill is used, the effect will be exposed, but he does not want to expose his fourth Soul Skill effect too quickly.
And as long as he doesn't say it himself, it will be difficult for others to see the specific effect of his Soul Skill from his performance.
The fourth Soul Skill, Here and Now, the effect is the first effect and then the cause.
Yin Chen can first anchor a 'future result' that he wants to happen, and then the rules of this world will be modified and guided autonomously, allowing a series of 'causes' to occur naturally, and ultimately... the result he anchored will definitely be achieved.
This is not the ability that a fourth Soul Skill should have at all.
Of course, there are also great limitations.
First of all, because of Yin Chen's cultivation, the 'future' he can observe and anchor will not be too far in time span.
He has no way of observing things a few years from now, let alone a hundred or a thousand years from now.
At present, at most... it will only be within a few months.
Secondly, the future he can observe must be a future branch that will indeed appear among countless possibilities.
He cannot observe those futures that are simply impossible to happen, let alone anchor them.
For example, he anchored the future that 'one month later, Yin Chen will personally kill Sea God Tang San'.
But according to reality, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the power to kill gods in a month. Then this future does not exist at all among countless possibilities. It is absolutely 'impossible', and his Soul Skill will not be able to take effect.
On the contrary, he wants to meet a certain person or find a certain thing in this vast Extreme North tomorrow.
Then, the future of 'meeting someone tomorrow' or 'finding something' exists among countless possible branches, but the probability may be extremely low.
At this time, he can use Here and Now to forcibly anchor this 'result', and then the rules of the world will operate on their own. Maybe it is an unexpected wind and snow change, or maybe it is the disturbing guidance of a Soul Beast. In the end, he will achieve this goal in a way that seems to be a 'coincidence'.
