Chapter 216

These emotions did not burden Li Yang; instead, they became her "spiritual strength."

The terrifying "future" that might occur, as well as Lianxin's safety, all became the source of Li Yang's strength.

She cannot fall; she cannot let that future come to pass!

Cheng Rui, from both the past and the future, activated all the Spacetime Puppet, but still couldn't find the Palace of the Present.

Undeterred, he sensed a full thousand more Spacetime Puppet, but still found no clues.

Where exactly is it?

How exactly do we get there?

At this moment! At this moment! At this moment!

--Thank goodness for Binghua, otherwise A Rui would never have learned to cooperate with others.

A gentle, soothing voice rang in Cheng Rui's ears; it belonged to his master, the old master of the Nature Department.

Before meeting Shen Binghua, Cheng Rui always stayed cooped up in the research institute.

He inherently disliked fighting and preferred research, but the cultivation laws of the Nature Department required him to break through realms through battle.

He didn't want to form his own combat squad; it would interfere too much with his research on the secret treasure.

However... Shen Binghua extended an invitation to him, asking if he wanted to do a breakthrough mission together.

Cheng Rui: "!"

He liked Shen Binghua; he had liked her since their time at the Zhongdu Military Academy.

The fact that she invited him... does it mean she also...?

Cheng Rui excitedly went on a breakthrough mission with Shen Binghua... but it turned out he was overthinking it. Shen Binghua was even more independent than him. She was forced by her ancestor to find someone to team up with, and that's how she found Cheng Rui.

After that, Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua formed a team.

After getting used to teaming up with Shen Binghua, Cheng Rui also began to understand how to cooperate with others.

In conjunction with... Si Yue...

Si Yue has always been very interested in the Law of Time; she even has a considerable grasp of Law of Time... She must know how to get to the Palace of the Present!

Chapter 216

Cheng Rui dared not waste a single moment and arrived at the cultivation room where Si Yue was as quickly as possible.

Si Yue also knew what was happening at the main hall.

When she saw Cheng Rui approaching, she asked anxiously, "How is it? Li Yang...?"

Cheng Rui quickly explained the situation, then hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister, how can I get to the Palace of the Present? There seems to be an impassable barrier between these palaces, I..."

Si Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Come on, take me to see it."

Si Yue used to be outstanding in every aspect.

In terms of realm alone, Si Yue is a whole realm higher than Cheng Rui.

Unfortunately, Si Yue's overall combat strength is now inferior to Cheng Rui's, but the knowledge she possesses remains.

Cheng Rui immediately led Si Yue to the barrier between the palaces.

Si Yue's Origin Soul was severely fragmented, but fortunately, the Law of Time she controlled were not severed.

Star Skill - Time Rewind is history.

Star Skill - Sand Table Simulation: The Future.

"This moment," on the other hand, exists between "history" and "future."

Cheng Rui paced anxiously beside him. "How is it? Can it be broken open? If not, I'll force it..."

"Don't do anything rash!" Si Yue was still pondering when she said, "You are now your own history. Let me help you deduce the future and see if I can bring you back to this moment..."

Cheng Rui was completely confused. Despite having cultivated in the Realm Domain of Time for countless years, his talent for the Power of Time had never been high. He only worked hard to cultivate in order to understand his enemies as much as possible.

Even so, his true combat power comes from the Power of Nature, Power of Time can only be used as a supplementary means.

Therefore, when Cheng Rui heard Si Yue explain such profound time logic, he felt his head was buzzing and he was completely confused.

Cheng Rui didn't have time to figure it out. He trusted Si Yue and replied, "Okay! Anything is fine, as long as we can get to the Palace of the Present!"

Forget about history and the future, all he wants is to kill the God King of the Present!

In Si Yue, she used her Law of Spacetime to extract Cheng Rui's future self...

Unfortunately, Li Yang couldn't convey much information to them; otherwise, after understanding the parallel situation of the three palaces in Si Yue, she wouldn't have needed to go through the trouble of extracting her future self.

Cheng Rui: "Faster! Faster!"

The thought of Li Yang fighting the God King of Time filled him with anxiety; he was terrified that if he wasted even a moment, Li Yang would...

Undistracted by him, she focused her mind on extracting Cheng Rui's future self in Si Yue.

However, despite the cold sweat beading on her forehead, she remained completely unaware of it.

Why?

Does Cheng Rui not have a future self?

Impossible!

Cheng Rui cannot be without a future!

Li Yang brought them hope, Cheng Rui was in the best condition; he definitely has a future!

Cheng Rui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and Si Yue was also sweating profusely with worry.

"Your future self..." Si Yue suddenly woke up, her eyes snapping open as she looked towards the Palace of the Present and the Palace of the Future in the distance.

Si Yue hesitated, finding it unbelievable, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to try. "I won't smoke it anymore, I'll just recycle it for you!"

She didn't believe Cheng Rui didn't have a future self, so there was another possibility for the current inability to extract it—too much of Cheng Rui's future self had been extracted, and Si Yue's current cultivation level was far lower than that of the previous extractor, so she couldn't extract any more.

This is easy to verify; a simple recycling test will tell you.

In Si Yue, they immediately began helping Cheng Rui reclaim his future self.

Cheng Rui's vision blurred for a moment, then his anxious eyes regained their focus.

His future self returned, and with memories shared between the two sides, he understood the structure of the Time Realm Domain first!

"They were parallel after all..."

Cheng Rui quickly told Si Yue what he knew.

Si Yue gasped and said, "I see! I know how to get you to the Palace of the Present! You just need to retrieve all the Spacetime Puppet to reach 'This Moment'!"

Cheng Rui: "With this future body, I can retrieve the Spacetime Puppet myself!"

This was far more efficient than when he was helped to recover the waste in Si Yue, and even faster than when Li Yang helped him.

This is because the past and the future attract each other.

Without knowing his future self, Cheng Rui and the other person cannot coordinate their actions.

But Si Yue helped him retrieve a body from the future, he gained insight into countless other bodies from the future.

In this way, he can retrieve them all by simply matching them one by one with his past selves.

However, there is still one problem...

Si Yue said, "Even if you retrieved all the Spacetime Puppet and arrived at this Palace of the Present, you'd only be at the Eighth Grade Realm?"

With 2000 Eighth Grade Realm, there's a chance they could surround and kill God King.

But how can Cheng Rui, with only one person, defeat the God King?

Even though the God King of the Present, his strength far surpasses that of the Eighth Grade Realm.

Cheng Rui remained silent, frantically trying to reclaim his future self, wanting only to reach the Palace of the Present as quickly as possible.

Whether or not he could defeat the God King, he had to give it a try.

Si Yue said in a deep voice, "We'll do it together!"

Cheng Rui couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "But your Origin Soul..."

Si Yue stared intently at him. "You definitely can't do it alone, but with the four of us... our chances of winning are very high!"

"No, Muxue, she..."

"Have you forgotten what Master said?!"

"Cooperate..." Cheng Rui said urgently, "But Axue's condition, going there would only..." be a pointless death."

Si Yue shook her head and said, "Master was talking about trust!"

Cheng Rui: "!"

Si Yue: "Only by trusting our teammates can we achieve true teamwork! No matter how bad Axue's condition is, she is still our Nature Department's chosen Heavenly Fortune Bearer who holds the key to happiness!"

Cheng Rui understood what Si Yue meant.

Si Yue added, "Go tell them, the rest is up to them to decide."

If you hide something from a companion because they are not feeling well... that's not protection, that's disrespect.

Since we are partners, we must trust each other—trust our partners' abilities, trust our partners' judgment, and, more importantly, trust our partners' determination.

Because of mutual trust, there were no secrets.

Only in this way can they unleash the team's power, which is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Cheng Rui remotely sensed a Spacetime Puppet and informed Lan Zhang and Bai Muxue of the current situation.

Lan Zhang was actually in better condition than in Si Yue. He immediately said, "Help me sense a future body; I need to go to the Palace of the Present!"

Upon hearing Cheng Rui's words, Bai Muxue burst into tears.

Although she was crying, the glistening tears reflected a beautiful glow on her face, which was covered in black mottled marks. She choked out, "... Thank you, thank you!"

That thank you contained so much.

She thanked Si Yue and Cheng Rui for their trust in her, and also thanked Li Yang for Risking Life to secure the opportunity for them.

Bai Muxue wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Help me sense a future self."

With a future incarnation, she can reach this moment through the connection between history and the future.

Seeing Lan Zhang and Bai Muxue's expressions, Cheng Rui's eyes were also filled with determination.

Si Yue is right; if he went alone, he might not be able to kill the God King of the Present.

But if the four of them go together, their chances of winning are much greater.

Stubbornly going his own way will only ruin Li Yang.

They cannot allow the flame of the Nature Department to be extinguished here!

History and the future are returning, and this moment follows.

The three palaces in the Time Realm Domain are not actually barriers; they appear to be three palaces only because their temporal states are divided.

Once all their Spacetime Puppet were retrieved, they arrived at this Palace of the Present.

Upon arrival, the four of them rushed towards the God King of the Present without hesitation.

-

Because Li Yang and the God King of Time are in a state of mutual devouring, she can see what the God King of Time sees.
