Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

The reason time is difficult to control is because, like controlling space, it is essentially a challenge to the natural laws of the world.

To master both requires a great price to be paid.

Thus, upon learning the name "Time Administration Bureau," Ye Wanlan, Yan Tingfeng, and others felt this place should not exist.

If time could be reversed, then the existence of this world and all the actions of life would be meaningless.

Yet now, this act of reversing time, completely against natural laws, was happening right before their eyes.

Yan Tingfeng and He Jia could even feel that the strength they had depleted in real combat with their Sword and Blade Combination Skill had returned.

Although their powers were restored, it also meant this killing move was utterly useless against Supreme Wisdom.

Yan Tingfeng's expression cooled, his gaze growing heavier.

Now his strength surpassed that of three hundred years ago, yet those foreign enemies of the past had absolute advantages in numbers and weapons, though they were not inherently strong.

Supreme Wisdom, a high-dimensional being from the Time Administration Bureau, possessed the ability to command time, a foe he had never encountered before.

Today would be a hard battle.

But Supreme Wisdom must die; sacrificing life for this was not a regret.

Yan Tingfeng's hand tightened gradually around his blade, yet his brows and eyes remained lightly smiling: "Brother, when you return to Yunjing, send my regards to Xiao Wan."

He Jia replied coldly, "Such words are better said in person."

He could obviously hear the implications behind Yan Tingfeng's words.

Yan Tingfeng was prepared for mutual destruction, as was he.

Having sacrificed once for Shenzhou, they could naturally do so again.

"As I said, no matter how powerful you make yourselves, it's of no use before me," Fan Jingtian said, hands behind his back, with a condescending look of pity, "because you don't even know the difference in power between us."

Though they might wound him, they could never kill him.

They had scruples, but he did not.

He wanted those so-called unyielding People of Shenzhou to see for themselves how he destroyed everything they cherished!

"Really? But a technique like time reversal, defying the heavens, can't possibly be used continuously," Yan Tingfeng smiled faintly at Fan Jingtian, "and the time that can be reversed is also limited; otherwise, you could have gone back years earlier to eliminate troubles."

Fan Jingtian's expression darkened significantly: "You know too much!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and with a "click" sound!

Small spatial cracks appeared all around Yan Tingfeng and He Jia!

Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).

Countless black and gold lights emerged from the cracks, weaving together instantaneously into a cage!

The cage formed so quickly that even Yan Tingfeng and He Jia failed to respond in time.

"This is the Time Cage," Fan Jingtian kindly explained, "to deal with some troublesome Time Criminals, we first trap them with the Time Cage, where they repeatedly experience their most painful, regrettable, and unsolvable events until—"

With each repetition, they would collapse into emotional ruin due to extreme sorrow and anger.

The cycle would continue, wearing down the spirit and life until all power was exhausted, turning them into soulless puppets.

Though it was only a basic technique, it sufficed.

Fan Jingtian watched Yan Tingfeng and He Jia, trapped, with disdain in his demeanor.

No one could escape the remolding of memories; he wanted to see these obstinate people die without burial places!

However, what Fan Jingtian didn't know was that the images Yan Tingfeng and He Jia saw were exactly the same.

Their greatest regrets and pains: the early death of Princess Yongning and the tragic Battle of Ten Thousand Armies.

Countless scenes flowed past their eyes, surrounded by numerous noisy voices.

"The princess has passed, Your Highness, please restrain your grief."

"Doesn't this gentleman know? It was naturally Princess Yongning buried with the imperial rites."

"King of Yan, pitifully guarding Shenzhou, only to end up without an intact corpse, your Shenzhou will cease to exist!"

"Sadly, the loved one never possible, the hated one not dead, Master of Highest Heaven Tower, you truly are pitiful."

...

Fan Jingtian relished in their furrowed brows and the beads of sweat pooling on their foreheads.

He had yet to use many of his backup plans, and victory was already his!

But just as the smile began to form on Fan Jingtian's face, the space suddenly quaked violently.

"Buzz buzz—boom!"

"Crack crack!"

Black Time Cage shattered, and the black and gold light was forced back, replaced by a fiercely sharp flash of blades and swords.

Fan Jingtian's expression changed sharply, and he immediately retreated.

But it was too late!

The power of Sword and Saber Unification was so immense that it sliced off Fan Jingtian's right ear!

Blood poured out, and pain struck.

Yet Fan Jingtian seemed unaware of his injury, incredulously looking at Yan Tingfeng and He Jia: "How did you break my Time Cage? Impossible!"

"Because—" Yan Tingfeng's voice was cold and detached, "not coming out would be the real regret."

Princess Yongning was still there, Shenzhou was still there.

This was what he was destined to protect for life.

"Absurd!" Fan Jingtian raged, "You... you two are unreasonable!"

He had never encountered such unpredictable people before.

"Tower Master," He Jia suddenly spoke, "interested in a Netherworld Path appointment?"

Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, smiling, "If brother invites, then it would be rude not to accept."

From that strike, he also saw Fan Jingtian's flaw.

Time reversal indeed had its limitations, unable to be used indefinitely.

"What courage!" He Jia also laughed, "I hope your game is not weak, so the Netherworld Path will not be boring."

Sword and Saber Unification, the Slayer of Time!

"Still want to continue resisting?" Fan Jingtian raised both hands this time, "With just you two, it's useless!"

Massive power surged, directly attacking Yan Tingfeng and He Jia.

Yet, another force suddenly emerged, standing between the two.

Then, a faint voice fell: "Then, how about adding me?"

Fan Jingtian's expression changed again: "Who?!"

The smoke cleared, revealing a tall girl standing in mid-air.

"Ye Wanlan!" Fan Jingtian's voice was squeezed from between his teeth, "You've actually come willingly."

"Xiao Wan!"

"Xiao Lan!" He Jia's gaze shook, "You can't come out now, you're—"

"If I don't come out, do you intend to die together in front of me?" Ye Wanlan's cold voice, "Did I grant you permission to die?"
