"Assimilate my past selves..."
Chu Mo murmured inwardly, countless thoughts swirling through his mind.
Cultivating Ten Thousand Ages, One Body was harder than he had imagined. To cultivate this Divine Ability, Su Mu had begun laying her plans ever since becoming a Realm Lord, ensuring that every incarnation of Ten Thousand Ages, One Body maintained a delicate temporal loop with her true self.
Only then had she made her "past selves" and "present self" mutually causal, each supporting the other.
Chu Mo had only just acquired the Divine Ability. If he followed the original cultivation method for Ten Thousand Ages, One Body, it would be extraordinarily difficult.
But with the All Beings Aspect, things became much easier.
His past selves were still him. Anything that was [I] fell under the All Beings Aspect's domain. When Chu Mo grew ruthless, he would not spare even his past selves.
I am I, and yet not I.
Chu Mo smiled faintly, then thought of another question.
If he assimilated his past selves, did that not mean he had been [I] from the very beginning?
And when had the "Chu Mo" of the past begun to become [I]? When he first began cultivating? When he was born into the world? Or had he been himself from the moment the world came into being?
"The Dao of time truly holds endless mysteries." Chu Mo sighed softly, then gathered his thoughts. Before shaping Ten Thousand Ages, One Body, he still had one preparation left to make: cultivating this Divine Ability required the power of time.
Although he had already swallowed Su Mu into his belly, and her experience cultivating Ten Thousand Ages, One Body had become his own, he still had to collect the power of time himself.
"The power of time..."
Chu Mo's expression shifted
