Chapter 9: The Rise of an Overlord Across Three Worlds (10,000+)_4
The power of the Ninth Realm fully erupted, channeling into the Power of Time Finger, because he did not want to disrupt space-time, thus even just stopping the ritual for a year could be utilized.
Boom~
The power of space-time surrounding the Heavenly Saint Star began to shake, and the Time Dice, using the power of time to leverage the power of space-time.
Like thunder roaring in the Void, the energies of time and space collided, emitting a deafening noise throughout the Heavenly Saint Star, intimidating all beings. They all felt a terrifying force, as if punishment were about to befall them.
And Wang Sheng faced even more.
Using the Time Dice to leverage the power of space-time, the forces of space-time flowed backward, like a monstrous tidal wave, crashing towards a specific location.
Countless True Intents of time and space were laid bare.
It was as if all was surrendered, allowing Wang Sheng to see through everything.
Wang Sheng didn't miss this opportunity, using his knowledge of space to try to analyze time.
Perhaps their aptitudes were indeed good, or maybe it was the progress bar that lent a hand, but in the end, he did indeed grasp something.
"This is the power of time?"
Wang Sheng became somewhat immersed, as if about to be sucked into the abyss of space-time.
However, he quickly shook off this influence.
"The power of space-time is indeed formidable, it even affected me."
Observation was fine, but obsession was not.
He continued leveraging, and, in no time, Yuan appeared again.
[That will do. You maintain the stability of the power of space-time, I will handle the operation.]
Yuan began to play its role, manipulating the space-time forces that were gradually being tamed, starting to flow smoothly like water.
Water is formless, capable of transforming everything.
Under Yuan's manipulation, a barrier with an even more mysterious construct came into being.
"It seems in this state, I can see even more clearly…"
As the power of space-time unfolded, Wang Sheng gained more knowledge.
"Perhaps, I can start modifying the Time Scripture…"
The "Time Scripture," a text composed by Xu.
While Wang Sheng disliked talk of past and Future Bodies, believing that it simply dug an uncertain hole for oneself with no good results,
he couldn't deny that it contained a unique and profound understanding of time.
He had always thought about modifying and utilizing it.
But there had been many things to deal with before, and he hadn't found the right approach, so he hadn't taken action.
Now, having observed a substantial amount of the power of time, and gaining a new understanding of time, he could attempt modification.
"The parts of the Time Scripture concerning the cultivation of the power of time can be retained, but parts about cultivating future and past bodies can be removed, I don't need them…"
Wang Sheng began to modify according to his own understanding.
"Time involves the past, present, and future. Common uses include time stop, time retrospection, time acceleration, and many other methods, like restoring injuries using space, which essentially returns one's body to a past peak condition…"
Wang Sheng modified bit by bit.
Who knows how much time passed, but a new progress bar appeared.
"Years: 1 (1%)"
Years, a knowledge-based skill, refined from the "Time Scripture" and enriched by his observation of the power of space-time.
Wang Sheng's understanding of it was still rather superficial.
He couldn't perform Divine Skills like time stop or Time Retrospection, but this was a very good start.
The most basic knowledge of the universe also began simply.
But many of his Divine Skills related to space were linked to the "universe" knowledge.
He believed that "Years" could achieve the same effect once the level was raised.
"Perhaps I can take the opportunity now to raise its level a bit."
Time flowed, and three days passed in a blink.
"Years: 5 (1%)"
Perhaps it was because Years was a creation of his own, and because the environment was just too suitable, that in three days, he advanced to level five.
Not only that, but he also mastered his own method of manipulating time.
Time Retrospection, of course, currently could only affect himself.
He could rewind time to an hour before.
"Paired with the Undying Nirvana Body…"
The Undying Nirvana Body was already a very powerful recovery-type physique.
It could quickly restore physiques, even equivalent to Wang Sheng's second life.
If paired with Time Retrospection, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he possessed a third life.
"The power of time, is truly known only to those who use it!"
However, Wang Sheng was not surprised. Time and space were, after all, conceptual. Once utilized, they were naturally terrifying.
Of course, the consumption was also terrifying.
With Wang Sheng's current understanding of time, not even close to that of space, using Time Retrospection once would drain him completely.
Only when "Years" leveled up might things improve.
For others, advancing abilities related to time was difficult, but for him, it was more than simple.
[Your mood seems good, it appears you've had a fine gain!] Just as he was reflecting, Yuan returned.
"Indeed a fine gain. Is the matter handled?"
[It's finished. The power of space-time around the Heavenly Saint Star has been restructured, and things went smoother than I expected. It can be hidden for another fifty years. After fifty years, it will start to dissipate, and nothing more can stop it. The river of space-time will begin to self-correct.]
"Fifty years, that should be enough…"
Fifty years was certainly a considerable amount of time, at least for ordinary people.
[It's all yours to deal with now. I still have to work hard at digestion. Once the digestion is over, Source Star will advance again. With good luck this time, perhaps it will advance twice…]
"Twice?"
[Yes, once for satellite planets and once for reaching the standard strength in itself. Two types of advancements that don't interfere with each other. The one from Heavenly Saint Star should enable the emergence of power at the Seventh Realm on Source Star, because with your presence, even just one such being will suffice for the advancement.]
