Chapter 211

In the snow-white palace, the God King of Time remained hidden beneath her hood. She was tall and slender, her voice indistinct, her mystery tinged with an ethereal quality, as fleeting as the wind.

Why does the God King of Time conceal his appearance?

This was the place that piqued Li Yang's curiosity the first time he saw her.

And, is she really in such bad shape, as Shi Yun has it?

The Flower of Evil pondered for a moment before speaking, "I can't tell what her condition is."

Li Yang was quite pleased; now, she didn't even need to remind her, as the Flower of Evil already knew to check on its own.

Even the Flower of Evil couldn't see it, which didn't surprise Li Yang.

After all, the seven Sages of the Lost Space Society were completely unaware during the Personal Disciple Tournament.

If they find out... God King of Time's Divinity will likely be lost.

Li Yang herself didn't look around carelessly. She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the God King."

The God King of Time scrutinized her.

Li Yang could clearly feel that gaze, which was as solid as a physical object, easily passed through her body and struck her Origin Soul, causing the Power of Time to cheer and jump for joy, as if welcoming its master home.

Li Yang's heart immediately went into overdrive.

Even in his worst condition, the God King of Time still possesses terrifying control over the Power of Time.

If she could manipulate the Power of Time within her, Li Yang's Origin Soul would probably explode on the spot!

Cold sweat dripped from Li Yang's forehead.

The God King of Time said in a faint, indistinct voice, "Your cultivation progress is not bad."

Li Yang, looking flattered, used the sycophantic skills passed down through the Lost Space Society, saying, "Thank you God King, for allowing Shiyi to cultivate in the Realm Domain of Time. The Power of Time here is rich and pure, making it very easy for me to sense, and my cultivation speed is several times faster than in other places..."

The God King of Time interrupted her, saying calmly, "This is not the Lost Space Society."

Li Yang's shoulders tightened at just the right moment, and then her expression became even more cautious. "Shiyi understands."

The God King of Time abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Why haven't you sensed that Law of Time yet?"

Li Yang was prepared for this question.

Given the status and experience of the God King of Time, he should be able to discern the state of her Law of Time.

Li Yang could use this as an excuse to get close to the Shi Yun, but he couldn't use it to fool the God King of Time.

So she gave a dry laugh and said cautiously, "I'm a little unsure which attribute of the Law of Time I should sense."

The hardest lies to see through are those that are seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

Li Yang's words were quite bold; she was essentially revealing that she could selectively perceive the major categories of Law of Time.

The reason she hadn't sensed it yet wasn't because she couldn't sense it—after all, she had absorbed so Power of Time —but because there were too many attributes she could sense, making it difficult to choose.

The God King of Time still spoke in that indistinct voice, making it difficult to discern her emotions.

"You already possess the Time Rewind, which is itself part of a complete 'historical' law..."

Li Yang never expected that the God King of Time would actually teach her.

Of course, even if he were to teach her, his motivation would be the same as Xuanyuan's.

It's simply a matter of fattening them up before eating them.

As expected of the God King of Time who wields the Authority of Time, she gave Li Yang a tremendous inspiration with just a casual remark.

If you want the 'future,' then you must superimpose 'history' onto the 'present'; if you want the 'present,' you need to derive it from both 'history' and 'future.'

The Flower of Evil exclaimed in confusion, "What the hell!"

Li Yang understood.

Simply put, because she learned Time Rewind, she has a fixed "history" law within her.

Then, if she perceives the other attributeless Law of Time as "this moment," it will instead combine with "history" to form "the future."

If we perceive it as the "future," then "history" and "future" will give rise to "this moment."

The three attributes of the Law of Time influence each other; it's not simply a matter of what is perceived, but rather a secondary change occurs.

This is truly crucial information.

If you don't know this rule, you might end up wanting "the present" but getting "the future" instead; wanting "the future" but getting "the present."

The Flower of Evil lowered her voice and said, "Would she really be so kind as to warn you? Maybe it's a trap!"

Li Yang didn't respond to the Flower of Evil, but instead looked at the God King of Time with admiration and earnestly asked, "Your God King, which category of Law of Time do you think I need right now?"

Her words, though seemingly a request for advice, were in fact a test.

Li Yang wanted to know what the God King of Time wanted her to sense.

The God King of Time did indeed give her an answer, "If you sense the 'future,' you can only reap the 'present'; if you sense the 'present,' you can grasp the future."

After a moment's thought, Li Yang said solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Your God King."

God King of Time: "Go. If you need to break through your current realm through battle, you can directly challenge Shi Yun."

Li Yang: "!"

She lowered her eyes, respectfully agreed, and then, following the Shi Yun, returned to her meditation room.

The Flower of Evil kept muttering to herself, "What nonsense! I think she has bad intentions. She's definitely setting a trap for you. Did you expose yourself? She deliberately made you sense the 'future' and miss the 'present,' so you can't merge with the Spacetime Puppet!"

Li Yang was also pondering.

Could it be that the God King of Time has truly sensed something?

She was used to contemplating the worst-case scenario—if the God King of Time had truly noticed, why didn't she deal with her on the spot?

Because she coveted the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

As Li Yang gained a deeper understanding of the Upper Three Realms and cultivated the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, he increasingly realized the desire of the Divine Venerable Realm in the Upper Three Realms for the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

Even if the God King of Time discovers that Li Yang is Nature Department being, he will pretend not to notice and forcibly nurture her Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

They had already tried to capture Master Realm in the Nature Department, but despite their best efforts, they couldn't obtain a usable Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

If hard tactics don't work, try softer ones.

They probably see right through Li Yang and will all play along with her act!

Thinking of this, Li Yang's heart sank.

This is the worst-case scenario and does not mean that the Bone Peach Mother Tree has been identified.

Even in this worst-case scenario, Li Yang is safe.

They wouldn't attack Li Yang unless her cultivation level was sufficient.

The more the Divine Venerable realized the preciousness of the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, the less satisfied they became with merely consuming a single Seventh Grade Realm- grade Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

Therefore, as long as Li Yang can ensure her safety, she dares to stir up trouble in the Upper Three Realms.

With this in mind, Li Yang calmed down for the time being.

The hints given by the God King of Time were also quite obvious.

He was essentially telling Li Yang that you must grasp the "future" in order to possess the future.

Li Yang wasn't actually afraid of being misled by the God King of Time. Even if she sensed something wrong the first time, she could convert it back later by spending her life.

But...

The God King of Time has clearly stated that she will control the Law of Time of the "future," yet she still chose the "present moment," doesn't that expose her...?

She was testing the God King of Time, but wasn't the God King of Time also testing her?

The Flower of Evil had her mind going completely blank. She exclaimed, "'Malice' is still the best! These damn things are such a hassle to cultivate with!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang was suddenly startled.

Does the Flower of Evil truly know how to reclaim Spacetime Puppet?

Li Yang asked the Flower of Evil with focused attention, "If I master 'this moment,' can I really help Uncle Cheng Rui retrieve the Spacetime Puppet? Do you have any experience in this area?"

The Flower of Evil paused for a moment, then said, "Of course! The Spacetime Puppet is 'history,' so retrieving 'history' requires..."

Have you ever recycled anything?

"..."

"Where did all those Spacetime Puppet from the Bone Peach Mother Tree go?"

The Flower of Evil coughed lightly and said, "I don't have a 'now' type of Law of Time, and the Bone Peach Mother Tree has been dead for a long time, so of course I disposed of them..."

Therefore, the Flower of Evil has absolutely no experience in retrieving Spacetime Puppet!

He relied on his understanding of the Law of Time, believing that it needed to be "this moment" to be reclaimed.

But what the God King of Time said was completely opposite to what he understood.

If the God King of Time wasn't lying to her, then what Li Yang needed to help Cheng Rui retrieve the Spacetime Puppet wasn't "this moment," but "the future."

The Flower of Evil continued, "Don't listen to her nonsense... I won't lie to you..."

Li Yang: "!"

She suddenly realized, feeling the Power of Time surging wildly within her, as if she had cheered and jumped for joy upon seeing the God King of Time.

Having figured these things out, Li Yang gained a more profound understanding of "time".

The Spacetime Puppet represents "history".

If she were to use "this moment" to superimpose "history," then Uncle Cheng Rui would only have the future.

But if Li Yang only gives him the "future," it will allow Uncle Cheng Rui to create the "present moment" on his own.

Superposition and derivation are not the same.

The former will devour "history" and "this moment," but the latter may not.

To use an imperfect analogy, if we consider "history" and "future" as parents, then the child born is "this moment." Parents do not die because they give birth to a child. In this way, all three times exist, which is what makes Cheng Rui Shishu complete!

This is the proper method for retrieving the Spacetime Puppet.

So another question arises: why did the God King of Time remind her?

Chapter 211

Li Yang couldn't understand it at all.

Perhaps she's just overthinking it.

The God King of Time didn't intentionally remind her; he was simply telling her the logic of comprehending the Law of Time.

Following this logic, Li Yang realized that she shouldn't be sensing the "present moment," but rather the "future."
