Within the Divine Continent, Xu Zimo received perfect protection.
But there was currently a problem. Although the power of time could not harm him, he seemed unable to leave either.
The entire Sea of Time was targeting him.
Although the power of time around him had been cut off, it was still desperately squeezing inward, trying to trap Xu Zimo here and slowly wear him down.
"Which existence is here? Could it be the Ancient Time God?" Xu Zimo shouted.
After a long silence, a deep voice rang out.
"Space-time died long ago. I have no name; I am merely the consciousness born from this Sea of Time."
"I am time, and time is me."
"So the Sea of Time truly gave birth to consciousness," Xu Zimo understood inwardly.
Then he said, "There is no grievance between us. I came here only for the Ancient Time God's inheritance. Why must you trap me?"
"The Sea of Time is founded upon the inheritance. If you take the inheritance, the resentment of the Time God will disperse, and this Sea of Time will cease to exist."
The voice continued.
"And I exist within the Sea of Time. Without it, I too will vanish like smoke and scatter like ashes.
"Over the years, countless people have entered the Sea of Time seeking the inheritance, but every one of them died. That includes you!"
Hearing this, Xu Zimo knew there was no room for negotiation.
After all, the inheritance was tied to the other's life. Neither of them would take another step back.
Xu Zimo looked around. An endless stream of time power was gathering toward him.
"You are the strongest person I have ever seen enter this place.
"No one can endure time's erosion, yet you have done so."
The hidden voice replied.
