My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 245 Void Territory
"I just want a couple of sips of water from you, why are you making such a fuss? I'm your mother! Shouldn't you be filial to me?" Jiang Susu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and reached out to snatch the bucket from the girl's hand.

Zhou Yuanyuan quickly hid the bucket behind her back. "Mom, you carry it yourself. You don't know how troublesome it is to carry it up from down there. Dozens of steps!"

She was exhausted and thirsty, almost dead. She finally managed to fetch some water, but her mother tried to take it from her. Is there any justice in this world?

"Don't you have an empty bucket? Go and fetch it yourself. I only carried half a bucket, just enough for myself."

After saying that, he ran off without looking back, carrying the half-bucket of water.

Jiang Susu was so angry at this girl that she almost fell over backwards, pounding her chest and barely able to breathe.

What a terrible thing! What kind of monster has she given birth to?

It's bad enough that her eldest son is unreliable, but now even her daughter is like this. Who can she rely on for the rest of her life?

Thinking of the heartless and ungrateful Xin Wenyuan, Jiang Susu couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

What's wrong with Xin Wenyuan? He's never been so cold to me before, could it be...?

Has Xin Wenyuan lost his memory? Only this could explain why his personality changed so drastically.

Whatever Jiang Susu was struggling with, Xin Wenyuan and his daughter didn't care at all. Even if they knew, they wouldn't take it seriously.

They were people who had no connection whatsoever, so she could just dismiss them without a second thought. If they kept nagging, Xin Nian would resort to her trump card and simply throw them out of the woods.

Everyone finally had a chance to rest at the camp, and they made the most of their time each day to do their own things.

For the past few days, Xin Nian and her family of five have been busy with their own things.

With the weather so hot these days, the team no longer goes out into the forest for running and exercise.

Xin Nian expanded the space in the tent next to the wooden house, allowing Lao Xin to lead the small team to train inside.

In his spare time, the eldest brother, Xin Mochen, taught his younger brother to read and write, making up for the lessons he had missed in the previous two months.

As for the officials and nobles from the capital, they have been relatively quiet these past few days. Occasionally, there are minor frictions between them and the group members, but these are quickly resolved by Liang Guangxia and others in charge.

On the eleventh day of camping, Xin Nian found her parents with a serious expression. "The information Xiao Teng gave us is a bit complicated. Xiao Jinzhi disappeared in the room and may have entered the time tunnel."

"I plan to go into Xiao Jinzhi's room to look for him. This may take some time. It could take five or six days at the latest, or one or two days at the earliest."

Old Xin looked anxious. "Will Xiao Jinzi be alright?"

“Girl, you…” Xie Ninglan hesitated, glancing at the girl.

"Mom, tell me."

"Your abilities are quite different from his. If he goes to that time portal, how will you find him?"

“I felt he was in danger,” Xin Nian said truthfully.

She has to go and bring this person back; after all, he's still a registered disciple of their team!

Xin Wenyuan and his wife became increasingly nervous.

From the moment they met His Highness the Crown Prince, they felt that this young man was omnipotent. Especially after learning about his mastery of the power of time, they felt even more that there was nothing in the world that could stump him.

"How could this happen?" Xie Ninglan was completely baffled. She had only been in seclusion to cultivate and comprehend a new skill, so why had she disappeared without a trace?!

"I suspect there's a bug in his time-manipulation ability. He probably can't even predict it himself."

“Although his ability can’t be upgraded, I can sense that every now and then, he seems to get a little stronger than before.”

"So this ability might just be that it's not apparent to people whether it has advanced or not, but in reality it's been silently advancing all along."

Xin Wenyuan and his wife listened as if they were hearing gibberish, their faces contorted in worry. Why were they becoming more and more anxious?

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless," Xin Nian assured the two. "If I can't handle it, I'll back out first and think of another way."

With her abilities, as long as Xiao Jinzhi had even a breath left, she would have a way to snatch him back from the clutches of death.

"My dear daughter, you must protect yourself first."

"Well, I will."

"Oh right, I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to tell Doctor Zhuang. If Madam Shang and Young Master Shang's condition is alright, have him go and check on the third young master of the Lu family." Xin Nian frowned slightly and said calmly, "After all, we were indebted to Madam Hou for the supply package in the early stages. If we cure her son, we'll be even."

Xie Ninglan nodded, "We'll take care of these trivial matters. You just focus on your work and don't worry about anything else."

Xin Nian gave her father a few more instructions before disappearing from their sight.

She went straight to the third floor of the wooden house next door. As soon as Xin Nian opened the door, she saw a thin twig fluttering and touching her wrist. It even shook the twig in a very human way and pointed to the wooden bed in front of her.

Xin Nian chuckled inwardly and reached out to pat it, saying, "Don't be afraid."

Xiao Teng was terrified. The person she was watching had suddenly vanished without a trace, and she couldn't even track down a trace of their presence. This was a bit outrageous.

Xin Nian walked around Xiao Jinzhi's room.

The room was clean and tidy, and the furnishings were very simple.

Xin Nian couldn't detect any trace of Xiao Jinzhi's presence in the room. After circling around twice, she sat down at the table and stared blankly at the wooden couch that Xiao Teng was pointing to for a while.

Finally, she calmed herself down and sat on the wooden couch, lowering her eyes to enter a meditative state.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Xin Nian opened her eyes again, she found herself in complete darkness.

Sure enough, the clever Xiao Jinzhi had preserved a trace of time power in the room.

Xin Nian got up and walked forward.

Walking alone in the void and darkness, traversing the endless expanse of time, occasionally I see fragments of light and shadow flash before my eyes, gone in an instant.

The realm of time is like a void of mist, leaving one immersed in it without being able to grasp its boundaries.

But that's alright. Time itself is a very abstract concept, and being able to naturally enter into it is already a rare and precious connection.

Xin Nian wasn't in a hurry, walking and stopping frequently, constantly looking around.

Even though the surroundings were repeatedly shrouded in an ethereal darkness, Xin Nian didn't care.

They walked for an unknown amount of time before stopping. Xin Nian tried and, with great effort, managed to pull out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial storage.

This void of time has a restrictive effect on everyone's abilities.

For example, right now, the second space farm is in a closed state, but the first space is still there. It's just that storing and retrieving things will be 10,000 times more difficult than outside.

There seem to be some benefits as well.

Here, you can feel the energy surging from all directions, as if there is a primordial energy source in front of you, continuously spreading endless energy outward.

Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. After searching for so long without finding Xiao Jinzhi, Xin Nian wasn't in a hurry. She simply sat down to rest, drank some water, ate a piece of chocolate, and immersed herself in practicing her supernatural abilities.

You need to practice your special abilities every day to avoid becoming rusty after you get the hang of them.

Even without opponents, you still have to practice.

Xin Nian wanted to retrieve the remaining energy source stones from her spatial storage and absorb them all, but she couldn't manage to do so despite her best efforts, so she gave up.
