Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 248 Is the Time Traveler a Lord?

In the vast expanse of space and time, atop a towering and massive divine mountain, the blue-armored guards carried Zhang Yi as they soared into the sky, heading straight for the summit shrouded in clouds and mist.

Zhang Yi glanced around and found that there were a large number of figures all the way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, with the most at the foot of the mountain.

"What is this?" he wondered.

The blue-armored guard seemed to see his confusion and explained, "When the beings from the Three Thousand Cosmic Seas come to the Time and Space World, they can climb this Time and Space Divine Mountain. The higher they climb, the greater the benefits they will receive."

"I see." Zhang Yi understood, and then he looked at himself, who was already close to the top of the mountain.

Did I just beat the game directly?
While they were pondering, the two had already reached the mountaintop, which was covered by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the whole scene.

In his field of vision were several palaces of varying sizes.

The blue-armored guards led him directly into a palace on the left. The palace gate was hundreds of thousands of kilometers high. After stepping through the gate, time and space shifted, as if he had entered another world.

This is an empty, void world.

"Master, the person has been brought here." The blue-armored guard bowed respectfully towards the dark void.

"Go." A detached voice rang out.

"That voice?" Zhang Yi thought to himself, it sounded so familiar.

After the blue-armored guards left, countless lights and shadows converged into the figure of a middle-aged man. The man had an ordinary appearance and was looking at him.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon," the middle-aged man said.

"To meet again?"

Zhang Yi was startled, and then the figure in the time-space sphere flashed through his mind, but at that time the figure was blurry and he had never seen it clearly.

"Are you a senior Time Traveler?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You can call me that. It's a name I had a long time ago, but I rarely use it now."

“Originally, I planned to wait until you reached the sixth level of the ‘Time and Space Evolution Method’ and comprehended the source of time and space before I came to see you. However, by chance, you came here first, so I will see you ahead of time and lend you a hand.”

Zhang Yi listened attentively.

Does this time traveler mean he's offering him something in return?
With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man caused Zhang Yi to feel a shift in time and space, transporting him to a vast and mysterious realm.

"Huh? Where am I?" He looked around and found that the Time Traveler had disappeared. There were countless floating points of light around him, each containing powerful energy. The weakest of these points of light could rival the power of a universe master, while the strongest ones even made his heart tremble.

In this space, Zhang Yi appeared very small.

"Is this the origin of the universe?" He remembered that he had come here when he broke through to immortality.

A very small number of those countless points of light contain inherited information, while the vast majority contain endless primordial energy! Each point of light is like a vast world, containing endless energy.

"What amazing skills! With a wave of his hand, I traveled from the space-time world of the Cosmic Sea to the origin of the primordial universe?" Zhang Yi was filled with amazement.

at this time.

"The primordial universe is the cradle of life. The universe operates within the principles of time and space. Seize the opportunity and observe carefully." The voice of the Time Traveler rang in his ears.

As the voice rang out, a white light enveloped him, and he felt his consciousness expanding wildly, his will permeating the entire primordial universe.

Planets, each inhabited by countless life forms. Mysterious realms, inhabited by alien races.
He 'saw' the Chaos City Lord, who was overseeing the Primordial Secret Realm, but the Chaos City Lord was completely unaware and continued to silently create secret techniques. He 'saw' those primordial stars, where myriad races of the universe fought and plundered for treasures.

Scenes flashed before his eyes, and at that moment, he felt as if he had transformed into the primordial universe.

Everything in the primordial universe was now within his perception, and he had a complete understanding of the structure of the origin of the primordial universe.

The countless points of light within the primordial space are divided into 100,000 camps, which revolve around the center. This is the 'Beginning of One' structure that Luo Feng's miniature universe created in the original work, only more refined than Luo Feng's. Luo Feng's is 'Beginning of One, Ten Thousand Heavens', while this is 'Beginning of One, Ten Thousand Heavens transformed into endless space'.

Suddenly, a white light descended again, and he felt that his entire 'perspective' had completely changed.

We have just observed the entire primordial universe from the microscopic to the macroscopic perspective, examining its overall structure and operation.

At this moment, from his perspective, the entire primordial universe has transformed into layers of spacetime.

The spatial interlayer between the primordial universe and the cosmic sea was divided into nine thousand nine hundred layers, each with its own function. These nine thousand nine hundred layers formed the spatial interlayer and also became a natural barrier for the primordial universe.

It can absorb the energy of chaotic airflow through the space interlayer, and protect the countless weak life forms living in the original universe from being eroded by chaotic airflow.

His gaze then traveled to the interior of the primordial universe, where the internal timeline began to regress rapidly. In an instant, the primordial universe vanished, leaving only the Origin Space.

The scene rapidly changed, and the primordial space began to evolve. The original framework of 'the beginning of one primordial universe, with ten thousand heavens transforming into endless space' began to take shape, forming a primordial universe. The primordial universe rapidly took shape, with star fields, secret realms, and dark deserts appearing one after another. Life began to be born, rapidly multiplying and occupying the endless spacetime of the primordial universe.

“The original universe was based on spacetime, and was formed with the framework of ‘the beginning of one primordial universe, from which ten thousand heavens transformed into endless space’,” Zhang Yi exclaimed.

He remembered that in the original novel, after Luo Feng resolved the crisis of the World Beasts, he also had the opportunity to experience the destruction of the primordial universe. On that occasion, Luo Feng also had the opportunity to experience the structure of the primordial universe.

At that time, Luo Feng was not proficient in the laws of spacetime and did not realize that spacetime was the foundation of the formation and operation of the primordial universe.

Swish!
Darkness appeared before his eyes, and Zhang Yi returned to the dark void of the Time and Space Realm once again.

"How do you feel?" the middle-aged man asked.

Zhang Yilian responded, "Thank you, Senior Traveler. I have gained new insights into the Dao of Time and Space."

Time and space are not separate and isolated; the integration of time into space and space into time is the foundation and the source of spacetime.

Although he did not yet understand the specific mysteries, his insights at the origin of the primordial universe gave him direction and guidance. He now knew how to find and comprehend the so-called source of spacetime.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you can cultivate here. Time here is accelerated by 100,000 times."

"I'll give you another token. As long as you're within the Cosmic Sea, you can use the token to enter the Time-Space Realm at any time. There are also some permissions within the Time-Space Realm. Blue Armor will explain them to you in detail later."

"When you become a true god, I will give you another opportunity."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying that, the middle-aged man disappeared into the dark void.

Only Zhang Yi remained standing. At this moment, the senior Voidwalker left decisively.

So, is the blue-armored one the Blue Armor Guardian? Such a powerful expert, yet he chooses his name so casually.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yi stopped thinking about it.

He sat cross-legged in the void and began to digest and absorb what he had just gained.

This cultivation journey was the longest he had ever undertaken. As time passed, he gained new understanding and insights into the laws of spacetime fusion. Guided by this opportunity, he embarked on the fast track to comprehending the laws of spacetime fusion.

However, the leap from the fifth to the sixth level of "Time and Space Evolution" is a huge one, making it extremely difficult to comprehend the origin of time and space.

He made progress little by little, getting closer and closer to the source of time and space.

In the process, he unconsciously created several eighth-order secret techniques.

For other universe masters, creating an eighth-order secret technique is virtually impossible. However, for him, cultivating the law of spacetime fusion has allowed him to far surpass the level of other strong individuals at the same level.

With his current level of cultivation comparable to a Void God, theoretically, he could create an eleventh-order secret technique if given enough time.

The reality is that it's very difficult to create and requires an endless amount of time.

He continued to immerse himself in the laws of spacetime fusion.

While Zhang Yi was in seclusion cultivating in the Time and Space World, the Cosmic Sea was also bustling with activity.

Another super genius of the human race begins to rise, and he is Zhang Yi's disciple.

This made nearly a hundred forces in the cosmic sea both envious and helpless, all secretly sighing at humanity's good fortune.

Inside the cosmic vessel, the tomb vessel where the Duan Donghe inheritance is located, under Zhang Yi's prior instruction, brought out the core Dao and arrived at the Flame Water Lake.

Since Zhang Yi overpowered the Seventh True Lord, the Thunder-Clad Demon God initially participated in the human celebrations, but now he has almost completely sided with humanity.

He also realized that it was impossible for him to take revenge on his own.

Zhang Yi's rise gave him hope, so he thought he might as well give it a shot.

Once Zhang Yi is able to transcend reincarnation, it will not only have a chance to take revenge, but even after three reincarnation eras have completely passed, it can entrust its life to Zhang Yi's miniature universe and have the opportunity to continue living.

Therefore, he naturally obeyed the arrangement and brought out the tomb boat after the Duan Dong River was transformed.

What followed was basically the same as in the original story. Luo Feng and others were the first to enter and begin the inheritance assessment, while major forces in the Cosmic Sea vied to send their strongest members to participate.

Ultimately, Luo Feng inherited the mantle and became the 194th Duan Donghe.

This time, Luo Feng's acquisition of the ancient civilization's inheritance was public knowledge, unlike Zhang Yi's previous acquisition, where other cosmic sea forces only speculated that he might have obtained the inheritance.

Therefore, the six major alliances that had been fighting against the human race in the primordial universe began to contact various forces and powerful individuals, attempting to encircle and annihilate the human race.

Unfortunately, this time, not only did the giant axe not fall, but the Lord of Chaos City also broke through to become a true god. In addition, there was Zhang Yi, who had suppressed the true god as the Lord of the Universe 100,000 years ago.

Neither the powerful races of the primordial universe nor the forces of the cosmic sea dared to arbitrarily take sides.

Of course, these forces do not include the Purple Moon Holy Land. Whether it is the enmity with the human race or the threat that Luo Feng's rise has made the Purple Moon Ancestor feel, the Purple Moon Holy Land will not compromise with the human race.

As for the Divine Eye Clan, who had always opposed the human race, they were naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to obtain the ancient inheritance.

They once again formed an alliance with the Purple Moon Holy Land, secretly supporting the Six Great Alliances and engaging in covert battles with the human race.

However, the human camp is also incredibly powerful. In the primordial universe, the powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Divine Eye Clan cannot enter, so the six major alliances cannot truly threaten the human race.

As time passed, guided by the legacy of two ancient civilizations with god-kings, the number of powerful beings born in the human race increased significantly, especially the probability of becoming a world lord and then an immortal increased many times over.

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, there has been no news of Zhang Yi appearing, but Luo Feng has a great reputation in the three forbidden lands of the Cosmic Sea.

Many forces in the cosmic sea were puzzled: if the disciples are so powerful, where are their teachers?

In the vast expanse of time and space, in the dark void, Zhang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, his gaze filled with joy.

Millions of years have passed outside, but a hundred billion years have passed here. This period of time is nothing to an ancient being like the Lord of Chaos City, but for Zhang Yi, it is the longest period of his cultivation.

Although he still hadn't grasped the origin of spacetime, his previous observations of the primordial universe's spacetime landscape, coupled with billions of years of arduous cultivation, had led him to the path to the origin of spacetime, no longer leaving him completely in the dark.

Apart from the spacetime fusion law, there has been no deliberate improvement in other aspects, but the progress has been tremendous.

His divine power clone had been honing his will in the inheritance space. Unbeknownst to him, his will had reached the limit of the Void True God, and he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Eternal True God level.

In terms of creating secret formulas, as the Lord of the Universe, he has already created a top-tier ninth-order secret technique.

This is a remarkable achievement even in the history of the Origin Continent.

It should be noted that even the third-generation patriarch of Duan Donghe, a powerful god-king, only created an eighth-order secret technique when he was the master of the universe.

Once he burns his divine power and unleashes a top-tier ninth-order secret technique, his physical attack power alone would likely be no weaker than that of the Skeleton Lord or the Divine Eye True Lord.

Of course, his level of strength cannot be sustained, as it is an explosion of divine power being burned at an insane rate.

Actually, this wasn't the most surprising thing for him.

To his surprise, he comprehended the first two levels of the Ancient Mirror Secret Technique in one fell swoop.

With his current will comparable to that of an eternal true god, once he unleashes it, even powerful figures like the Skeleton Lord and the Divine Eye True Lord will be affected, and their combat power will be greatly reduced, even if they don't fall into a coma.

It can be said that his billions of years of secluded cultivation have made him fearless of anyone in the cosmic sea.

"It's time to leave. Before I go, I should go see that 'Blue Armor' first," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

He then left the dark void world.

With one step, time and space shifted, and he returned to the palace on the mountaintop.

Even though his time-space abilities had greatly improved, he still felt immense admiration for the time traveler's methods.

He was also secretly wondering who the Time Traveler was.
"Could it be the lord?"

"An existence at the same level as the Yuan?"

Just as Zhang Yi was deep in thought, a blue figure appeared; it was the Blue Armor Guardian.

At this moment, he smiled broadly and said enthusiastically, "I never expected that you, sir, would be a candidate for the master's successor."

"I was blind before and didn't notice it."

Zhang Yi was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How did you know? Did the Time Traveler tell you?"
