"Shrek Academy?"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly. "What the hell college? What a strange name."
"No, you said the strongest force is an academy?"
Obviously, this is somewhat beyond Bibi Dong's understanding.
After all, nothing so outrageous has ever happened to the Douluo Continent that she knew.
If one academy can become the strongest force in the mainland, then what do they Spirit Hall mean?
"Don't you even know Shrek Academy?"
"Pah."
Luo Chen raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Quiet."
However, this does not come from the Star Forger Martial Soul, but the power that escapes from Luo Chen's body.
"If my guess is good, my Second Trial is likely to involve future time and space."
Gu Yuena appeared next to Luo Chen. She glanced at Bibi Dong and said, "I have traced the source of the out-of-control power in these people."
"Xiao Chen Do you want me to extract information about the future from him?"
"It's really difficult."
Luo Chen explained the problem here, "But about half a year ago, the word 'go' was swallowed up by purple flames."
After realizing that these people had their own power of time and space, Luo Chen asked Gu Yuena to conduct a careful investigation.
"Teacher, do you still remember the strange power I felt when I absorbed Second Soul Ring?"
"So I think he's not from our time."
"Originally there is."
Being mentioned again by Luo Chen, Bibi Dong immediately remembered the strange feeling he felt at that time. "Are these people related to that power?"
The next moment, Yaogui fell into a daze as if time had stood still.
Just thinking about the strange events that happened when Luo Chen attached Second Soul Ring, Bibi Dong couldn't help but believe it. "If it's true that they come from the future as you said Xiao Chen, then how did they get here?"
Shrek Academy's family is the only one, and Luo Chen can't imagine that it will follow the same path as the original in the future without his own intervention.
"Saving past* and the future, is there a word missing after 'pass'?"
Bibi Dong quickly browsed the contents of four God Trials, and then she was confused. "What does this mean? Xiao Chen Is your God Trials a little too complicated?"
Luo Chen knew in his heart that after the Spirit Hall was destroyed, Shrek Academy would become the second force on the Douluo Continent that was beyond the imperial power, and the family would dominate for countless years.
In her opinion, one test is just one test, but God Trials of Luo Chen has more than one branch.
Bibi Dong only knew that Luo Chen obtained Godhood Inheritance from God of Creation, but she did not know the specific content of God Trials.
Luo Chen's words really subverted Bibi Dong's world view.
"You mean, someone is planning all this behind the scenes?"
Regardless of the quantity or difficulty, I don't know how many times Rakshasa God Trial exceeds Bibi Dong.
Especially the demise of the Spirit Hall, this is even more impossible.
Bibi Dong I wanted to say how could this be possible.
Luo Chen continued, "He doesn't know Spirit Hall, and he said there is a Heaven Dou Empire on the Douluo Continent."
"Teacher, I seem to know what's going on."
Luo Chen nodded and said, "Although in my opinion, that future should have nothing to do with us, there is no harm in knowing some things that may happen in the future."
And looking at the marks on this card, although the burning is very slow, the word "pass" is also disappearing little by little.
"Because of my Martial Soul."
"Is this Xiao Chen your God Trials?"
"Teacher, I want you to take this guy back."
"Ah Chen."
"What?"
Luo Chen made a brief comment, and then selected the card of Second Trial: "Teacher, look at my Second Trial."
"It's just as you thought," Gu Yuena said, "They were sent to you on purpose."
There was no other way, Luo Chen had no choice but to summon four God Trials cards.
"Did you find it so quickly?"
Obviously, Luo Chen does not exist in the future where Yaogui exists.
"Hmm."
"Teacher, you have also heard that many of this Fallen Soul Master's perceptions are different from ours."
Just now, Luo Chen carefully explored the auras of Yaogui and others, and indeed found a trace of power related to the Star Forger in it.
"If my guess is correct, this probably means that the 'past' mentioned in the card that needs to be saved is collapsing."
This was just Luo Chen's guess, but he felt that he should have found the reason for the card change. "Just now I asked Na'er to detect the power of time and space on these people, and this is the result."
"I found the priest responsible for Ah Chen Second Trial."
Gu Yuena looked solemn. "The other party didn't have any cover, they were just waiting for us to pass over there."
Second Trial, that is the final stage that even Gu Yuena cannot touch.
And now, the other party is somewhere waiting for the arrival of Godhood Inheritance.
The other party has no ill intentions.
This can be felt by both Luo Chen and Gu Yuena.
"This!"
Unlike the two of them, Bibi Dong grabbed Luo Chen's hand almost subconsciously.
She was worried that Luo Chen would be in danger if she went alone.
"We can go together."
Seeing this, Gu Yuena said, "You are a candidate for becoming a god selected by the great power (The Star Forger Martial Soul), and you will stay with us Ah Chen in the future."
In the definition of Luo Chen God Trials, Bibi Dong is the same as Aspects, both are part of the power of Luo Chen.
Especially those who have the qualifications to ascend to the gods can directly participate in Luo Chen's assessment and even help him complete some of the requirements.
"Really?"
Hearing what Gu Yuena said, Bibi Dong was immediately overjoyed. "That's great, Xiao Chen."
The beautiful pope held his disciple's hand tightly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must help Luo Chen complete God Trials.
"I'm going to trouble the teacher again."
Luo Chen patted the back of Bibi Dong's hand to express his trust in her.
"What do I do?"
"The other person is not anywhere in the real world. If we want to go to Him, we need to immerse ourselves in it and carefully perceive the other person's existence."
Luo Chen and Bibi Dong followed Gu Yuena's instructions and began to empty themselves.
The next moment, the two of them felt that the sounds around them began to become silent.
When they opened their eyes again, the original valley had disappeared, replaced by a calm golden ocean.
"Where is this?"
Luo Chen looked at Gu Yuena and Bibi Dong and found that the two women were stepping barefoot on the golden water.
Right in front of them, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged.
The image of the other party is clearly Chronokeeper'Zilean' in Luo Chen's memory.
Of course, Luo Chen knew that the other party was not Zilean, but the person in charge of God Trials who was shaped by the Star Forger Martial Soul according to his own memory, just like Freljord of Third Trial, the ancient three Demigod.
"What is this place?"
Bibi Dong was filled with doubts. "Is he the person in charge of Xiao Chen God Trials?"
She couldn't feel the old man's breath at all, as if he didn't exist at all.
This situation can't help but make Bibi Dong feel a little more solemn.
"Are you, Zilean?"
"Zilean? Ah, the old man in my memory seems to be called this name."
Chronokeeper smiled kindly at Luo Chen, he raised his hand, and the wheel of time behind him began to turn slowly. "I am the person in charge of your last Second Trial. If you like, you can call me that."
"You must be very confused about the changes in God Trials, right?"
Chronokeeper said, summoning the God Trials card of Second Trial.
"Hmm."
Luo Chen can feel the intimacy of origin connection from Chronokeeper.
He knew that not only would the other party not hurt him, but he would also take action to solve the various obstacles in front of Luo Chen when his God Trials was disturbed.
To a certain extent, Chronokeeper, like Gu Yuena, is Luo Chen's protector on the road to becoming the Dragon King.
It's just that due to some reasons, Chronokeeper cannot interfere directly, unless there is some force that wants to harm Luo Chen on a temporal level.
"Old man, let me briefly explain the specific content of Second Trial."
"The requirement of this test is to let the children save the past and the future."
"So, what do the past and the future here refer to?"
This question is also something Luo Chen has not thought about.
After all, he can understand the future, but how to save the past and travel through time and space?
"Mr. Kieran, do you want me to travel through time and go back to the past to do something?"
Hearing Luo Chen say this, Bibi Dong felt incredible.
Although the power of that person has long been confirmed, is it really possible to travel back in time?
If possible, then she.
Unfortunately, before Bibi Dong could speak, Chronokeeper immediately broke her fantasy.
"My little friend, what you are talking about is not from the past."
Just listen to Chronokeeper smile and say, "It's your future."
"Ah?"
"Time is a very wonderful thing."
Chronokeeper gently fiddled with the water in front of him, causing ripples to appear in the golden ocean. "In your opinion, little friend, traveling to a certain point in time means traveling to the past?"
"Hmm"
Luo Chen frowned slightly. He didn't show off, but humbly asked for advice, "Isn't that so?"
"You have not gone back to the past, you are still in the present, and you are still experiencing your future."
According to Chronokeeper, time is not a line, nor is it a river, a place, or a node.
"You always think that time is a concept, that it is something, something."
Chronokeeper:"But in fact, time is everywhere."
"If you travel through time, the time that belongs to you will still flow through you."
"So you are still experiencing your own time and waiting for the next second that belongs to you."
"This won't change just because you are anywhere."
Therefore, from the true concept of time, Luo Chen is still moving forward, and the so-called 'past' he went to is just a certain space.
This is complicated, but not difficult to understand.
"Senior, what you mean is that as long as I am still alive and thinking, I will never be able to truly break away from time, let alone travel through the past?"
"Not bad."
Chronokeeper smiled and nodded.
"Then, what is this God Trials so-called past?"
"Destiny."
"Destiny?"
"Hmm."
Chronokeeper: "The determined destiny is the past."
Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena were confused by this answer, and they found that they couldn't keep up with their rhythm at all.
"That's it."
However, Luo Chen understood it clearly.
Especially when I think about the original work I have read, and then connect it with the world that has been changed by my intervention.
From a subjective point of view, Luo Chen lived ten thousand years ago, Bibi Dong is also the Pope Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, and Yaogui and others should come from the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.
Then, Luo Chen and Bibi Dong are people from the past, and Yaogui and others belong to the future.
But according to Chronokeeper, Luo Chen is the one who lives in the 'future'.
"You can understand that the text is written first, the pictures appear next, and the animation comes last."
Sure enough, Chronokeeper was indeed born from Luo Chen's memory, and he also had a lot of Luo Chen's common sense and cognition in his mind.
He is obviously hinting at the three worlds of Luo Chen, Douluo novels, Douluo comics and Douluo animation.
"Are there many such worlds?"
Luo Chen doesn't want to make Douluo Continent into an infinite parallel universe like Marvel, that would be too troublesome.
"There are only three in total."
Chronokeeper: "And one of them was Destruction not long ago."
These three worlds are not so much parallel worlds as Douluo Continent in three different dimensions but closely related to each other.
Among them, the one named Destruction is exactly Douluo World in the novel.
This is why Chronokeeper calls it 'past'.
"Stories shaped by words are the cornerstone of the world."
"It's full of holes and ambiguities."
It's like anyone can write on paper 'I punch Destruction world'.
But based on this sentence alone, who can really imagine such a scene?
"Hmm."
Luo Chen naturally sat in front of Chronokeeper: "Because text has the worst expressive power, and although pictures are more expressive, they are much more difficult than text."
When words turn into pictures, you have to consider more issues and have more details to perfect.
For example, if I ask you to draw a world Destruction, can you draw it?
It's too difficult, far more complicated than a sentence or a description.
In the same way, we need to use animation to express "destroy the world with one punch".
Not to mention whether it can be done, but even if it can be done, it will probably be embarrassing.
"Second God Trials said that the past that needs to be saved can be understood as the world in words and the world in pictures."
"The world of words has Destruction, so half of the past two words have disappeared?"
Luo Chen didn't expect it to be like this. "So the future here refers to the world I live in, right?"
"Not bad."
Chronokeeper did not expect that Luo Chen would understand so quickly, and felt a little relieved for this inheritor.
"That"
Luo Chen asked, "How do you say where these Fallen Soul Master come from?"
"The world they come from is the world in the picture, and the fate there will be the same as in the picture."
The pictures here only refer to the trajectory of destiny, not that they are paper figures.
Not only that, Chronokeeper also told Luo Chen that the time in the two worlds is synchronizing little by little.
Because of this synchronization, Douluo Continent ten thousand years later is no longer the "past with a determined destiny", but has become a part of the world of Luo Chen, and the two are merging.
"Once you are completely free from fate, it will no longer be the past."
Chronokeeper explained the essence of Second Trial: "The task that Laochan needs you to complete is to completely shatter the fate of the world ten thousand years from now, so that it will be like this world, with infinite possibilities."
"How to break?"
"Just change it."
"Change."
Soon, Luo Chen understood what Chronokeeper meant.
In words that Luo Chen can understand, he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.
Such as Xiao Wu, such as Ah Rou, such as Ah Yin and Bibi Dong.
Their fate has long since changed, and every day in the future will not be the same as in novels, comics, or even anime.
To a certain extent, this world has actually broken away from the anime world and is evolving towards a higher dimension.
In the same way, without the intervention of Luo Chen, ten thousand years later, where Yaogui and others are, it will just follow the plot in the comics and go on without any trouble.
However, when Chronokeeper sent Yaogui and others to this world, the fate of thousands of years later became turbulent.
"Destiny has a certain degree of inertia, and it can recover on its own from small deviations."
This also means that if Luo Chen does not make greater changes, the world will still go the same way after ten thousand years.
It's like the butterfly effect.
And what Luo Chen has to do is to increase the strength of the butterfly's wings and set off an even bigger storm in the world ten thousand years from now.
Chronokeeper also told Luo Chen that there is an extremely terrifying force that has swallowed up the novel world in the past two years.
"For some reason, it is temporarily unable to break through the shackles of dimensions and invade the world ten thousand years from now."
"But it's only a matter of time."
If Luo Chen doesn't do something, it will continue to erode for thousands of years and launch an attack on the world where Luo Chen lives in the near future.
"That purple power?"
Listening to Chronokeeper's description, an extremely terrifying term emerged in Luo Chen's mind - Void!
Legend has it that Void is the cornerstone of everything, the zeroth dimension, the true place of eternal silence.
"When I absorbed the first Soul Ring, I awakened Void."
Chronokeeper said in a deep voice, "And this is also your ultimate test."
Void invades and devours everything.
Starting from the lowest level of the world, moving upward until you reach the world of Luo Chen, vent your anger to the culprit who woke you up.
"At that time, everything will return to silence."
The future described by Chronokeeper made even Luo Chen feel heart palpitations.
That's Void, not some cat or dog.
"What can I do to save what's left of the past?"
Luo Chen asked, "Do you want me to go to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years from now?"
"Can't go."
Chronokeeper shook his head and said, "At least not yet."
"Not yet?"
"Second Trial is not the only one in charge," Chronokeeper told Luo Chen: "Only the power of another Excellency can completely connect the gates of the two worlds."
However, the current Luo Chen has not grown up yet, so he is not qualified to see that one.
"Space?"
Luo Chen said, "Second Trial involves time and space. The senior represents time, so the other one represents space, right?"
Recalling the strange thing Bibi Dong described to him two years ago, and the wonderful sound of the flute, Luo Chen immediately thought of the only true god in the alliance who could rival the Dragon King - Bard.
"How do I find Him?"
"Get all Soul Ring."
"."
Luo Chen's mouth twitched slightly. If you want to see Bard emotionally, you must first raise yourself to the top.
"Before this, only people from ten thousand years later could come here."
However, Chronokeeper can only send people here, but cannot send people back. "By the way, the child I met today was also found by the old man ten thousand years later."
"Huh?"
Luo Chen: "Xiao Chi also came from ten thousand years ago? Then why didn't he tell us?"
"Uh"
Chronokeeper smiled awkwardly, "I was not very proficient at the beginning, so there was a little problem."
"."
Good guy, it directly caused people to lose their memory. Is this a small problem you are talking about?
So what's the big problem?
It's so confusing!
Luo Chen doesn't know how to complain about Chronokeeper.
"Alas."
Helpless, he could only sigh, "Who said I summoned you? I am also responsible for Xiao Chi."
"That's all, I will take good care of him from now on."
