Chapter 207
Sister Longevity remained silent.
Li Yang was at her wit's end.
She was calculating her Lifespan Points...
After spending one million, there's still over six hundred thousand left. With Lianlian's contribution, it should be enough...
Li Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Generate!"
Sister Longevity: [You have spent a million years comprehending the mysteries of time within the Time Realm Domain, and are currently generating Time Subsystem. Please wait.]
Suddenly, another thought struck Li Yang.
She obtained the Time Subsystem, but where is the Time System itself?
Where is the Divine Venerable of Time?
Will she sense that she has taken over the Time Subsystem?
Probably not.
Li Yang thought of the Flower of Evil; this guy didn't know she possessed Malice Subsystem.
The generation process was slow, but Li Yang wasn't in a hurry. She just watched the progress bar and waited patiently.
Li Yang began to understand what the Flower of Evil meant by "sensory time."
Speaking of which, time is a very strange thing.
Does it really exist?
This was also a very controversial topic in Li Yang's previous life.
If nothing in the world changed, where would the concept of time come from?
Within this Time Realm Domain, Li Yang also clearly felt the absurdity of time.
If she were meditating, those ten years would have passed in the blink of an eye, but now, looking at this palace, she can feel the slow passage of time.
Of course, this slow passage of time may not be objective, since there is no "clock" or other objective object in the palace that can be used to record time.
Chapter 207
Li Yang was lost in thought, and time passed by unnoticed. When the progress bar reached 98%, she stared intently at the system panel.
100%!
Sister Longevity displayed a message: [Time Subsystem has been generated. Please check.]
Li Yang couldn't wait to take a closer look, and she was quite delighted after just a quick glance.
If Brother Shock is like a bulky desktop computer from 1998, Brother Malice is like a thin and light laptop, then Sister Time is like the latest iPhone.
Of course, the most advanced one is Sister Longevity. Sister Longevity's interface far surpasses any technological products that Li Yang knew about in her previous life.
The partitioning of the Time Subsystem is also very similar to that of Sister Longevity.
First, there is a personal panel that displays Li Yang's basic information.
The content of the information is almost identical to what Sister Longevity showed, with only one difference.
The Sister Longevity represents lifespan.
The Sister Time displayed is the time.
Lifespan and time seem to be completely different concepts.
Having time does not necessarily mean having a lifespan.
It may have a lifespan, but it certainly has a limited time.
Li Yang had gained some insight into the difference between the two, and at the same time, she was also pondering whether Sister Longevity should transcend... or rather, encompass time...
Wrong!
Li Yang suddenly understood: Sister Longevity encompassed more than just time; she encompassed everything!
The concept of lifespan is anchored in "existence or non-existence".
Li Yang used to think of lifespan in terms of time, but lifespan is actually more than just time!
To use a person as an analogy, she can only have everything after she has a lifespan.
Once you're dead, you have nothing left.
This applies to humans, and it applies to a universe, to a world!
Li Yang suddenly felt enlightened, and a sense of awe for "life" welled up in her heart.
As she thought about the state of the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, she realized even more that Sister Longevity was related to the Nature Department.
Li Yang focused his attention and continued to examine the Time Subsystem.
Like Sister Longevity, there's also a note below, which provides a crucial hint--
[Current time is zero. Please collect Change Points as soon as possible to obtain the time.]
Li Yang was taken aback, unsure what this Change Points meant.
She thought she only needed to collect the Power of Time to gain time, but she didn't expect that she would need Change Points.
What constitutes Change Points?
A thought struck Li Yang, and he stood up from his meditation. Then, a message appeared before his eyes.
[Add one point to the Change Points.]
Li Yang: "..."
Is this what you call a change?
She simply stood up and added a little something, but at least she gave Li Yang some ideas.
So that's how it is; the existence of time is based on the constant change of things?
Li Yang took a few more steps, and sure enough, the Change Points increased by a few more points.
This Change Points is converted into time on a one-to-one basis.
Li Yang had initially been clueless about the Change Points, but now, upon closer inspection, he realized that this Time Subsystem was even simpler than the methods used by Brother Shock and Brother Malice.
The Astral Realm is never short of change.
Everything in the world is constantly changing, and even if the origin of these Change Points can only be based on herself, it is not difficult to collect them.
This is the real deal... you can even cultivate while sleeping!
Li Yang could hardly imagine how easy it must have been for that Divine Venerable of Time to cultivate in his early years!
Li Yang walked back and forth a few steps, which resulted in 100 Change Points.
Li Yang was indeed able to convert these 100 points of time into a lifespan of exactly 100 years.
The exchange rate is the same as the Malice Points.
Judging from this exchange rate, Brother Shock is relatively weaker.
Li Yang is currently still exploring ways to collect Change Points.
She was somewhat curious: if she returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, and became the "Light of Dawn" of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace from Upper Three Realms "Radiance of Daybreak of the Three Realms," would that be considered a huge change?
These are things we'll have to try later.
Li Yang continued to examine the Time Subsystem.
Its comprehensiveness is evident from its interface; it basically has all the features that Sister Longevity possesses.
However, this subsystem is blank, unlike the Malice Subsystem, which contains the Star Skill the Flower of Evil has already mastered.
Li Yang cannot communicate with this Time Subsystem, and therefore does not have the ability to directly use time to improve his realm.
Actually, this ability is the most crucial.
The Flower of Evil, unaware of what Li Yang was doing, asked, "What's wrong? You're already Master Realm! How can your legs go numb from meditation?"
Li Yang: "..."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Under normal circumstances, if a person meditates without moving for ten years, what they will face is not the problem of numb legs, but... the need for amputation."
The Flower of Evil choked for a moment, then snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "You humans are so fragile!"
Li Yang ignored him.
Her ability to obtain Change Points solely through movement is still too limited.
Li Yang wanted to test whether he could collect Change Points while collecting the Power of Time.
Collecting the Power of Time is itself a change, and you might even collect Change Points along the way!
Li Yang sat down on the spot and said to Sister Longevity, "I will consume ten thousand years of my lifespan to collect the Power of Time."
Sister Longevity replied bluntly, "[Lifespan is too short to collect.]"
Li Yang: "..." She can't even save her life now!
So she could only grit her teeth and say, "It will take 100,000 years!"
Sister Longevity still delivered a barrage of sharp words, but at least she received 1000 points of Power of Time.
Li Yang felt the Power of Time flowing into the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, and then focused his gaze on the Time Subsystem.
From the perspective of the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, changes are definitely happening, so...
[The Change Points increased by 100,000 points.]
Li Yang: "!!!"
Why did you add so much all at once!
She stared intently, afraid she had miscounted.
Six digits, I didn't miscount, it really is 100,000.
Li Yang glanced at Sister Longevity's side again, and then she couldn't suppress a smile.
She consumed 100,000 years of her lifespan and collected 1,000 points of Power of Time. Because the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul underwent a significant change, she recovered 100,000 points of Change Points through the Time Subsystem. These 100,000 points of Change Points could then be exchanged for another 100,000 years of lifespan...
Li Yang's mind was filled with thoughts of "getting something for free!"
In other words, she can absorb the Power of Time from the Realm Domain of Time without consuming her lifespan.
This...
That's terrifying!
Li Yang converted 100,000 points of Change Points into 100,000 years of lifespan and used it again to collect the Power of Time.
Sure enough, the cycle worked perfectly; she could gain 1000 points of Power of Time for nothing by circulating between the two systems!
Is this what makes the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul so terrifying?
Although Sister Longevity is also formidable, capable of encompassing so many subsystems, if it weren't for the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul absorbing so many different Power of God, Sister Longevity would be like a skilled cook without rice, unable to cook without rice, and wouldn't have had the opportunity to encompass so many subsystems!
No wonder the Divine Venerable of the Upper Three Realms are so eager to obtain the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
Li Yang understood why Xuanyuan and the others were so crazy.
Although she could obtain the Power of Time for free, Li Yang didn't dare to absorb too much at once, always remembering her purpose in coming to the Realm Domain of Time.
Now that she has accumulated so Power of Time over time, and still hasn't grasped the Law of Time, she has every excuse to seek "advice" from Shi Yun.
Li Yang stood up. The Flower of Evil was still stunned and said, "If you don't go find Shi Yun soon, I'm afraid the God King of Time will come after you."
Li Yang knew that he was just being cheeky. Although he had absorbed a lot of the Power of Time, it was not enough to alarm the God King of Time.
Li Yang stepped out of her room—or rather, her quiet meditation room—which could hardly be called a room.
As she walked out, she was pondering how to find Shi Yun when she unexpectedly saw Shi Yun wearing a special mask and light armor.
"Shi Yun Fortune!" Li Yang called out to him with delight.
However, Shi Yun didn't even glance at her and walked straight out.
Li Yang was taken aback, then quickly chased after him.
But Shi Yun moves very fast; it disappears in the blink of an eye.
This... uses Teleportation Anchor?
Li Yang faintly sensed some fluctuations of the Power of Space.
