I can travel to the past and the future

Chapter 119 The Descent of the Mother Goddess of Desire (5500)

"So fast?"

"Alright, it's time to see how valuable he really is," Veronica said with a smile. "But actually, I've been waiting for him to ask me for the Mask of Night. I've discovered that this kid is actually quite greedy, but also very pretentious."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing him beg me; it'll be so funny."

In a traditional-style restaurant in Chang'an District, Veronica and Simon are having dinner in a window-side booth.

Veronica liked Simon's arrangements, but she was a little annoyed by the dishes that were served.

A dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish, a dish of Stinky Mandarin Fish —

"Try it, it's pretty good. It's similar to stinky tofu, smells bad but tastes delicious," Simon recommended.

Veronica reluctantly ate a couple of bites, then her eyes gradually lit up: "Hmm, it's not bad, but I feel that Lord Simon seems particularly enthusiastic about Chinese culture and customs."

Simon said calmly, "To defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy. For example, the deputy captain in charge of the Legalist Heavy Industry mecha team this time especially loves to eat stinky mandarin fish. And he is also a commoner genius who is currently being suppressed in Legalist Heavy Industry."

"Furthermore, not all Easterners like stinky mandarin fish; his teammates didn't, and all the credit went to the captain."

Veronica suddenly realized, "I understand, Lord Simon, leave it to me."

As she spoke, she began to taste the still unpleasant stinky mandarin fish in front of her again.

Qiao Yuan stayed in Director Fan's office for a full hour. Now that he has reached the second level of sublimation, each timeline can last up to an hour.

No longer do we have to rush as often as before, or even run out of time.

The gains were also significant. It turns out that the essence of spacetime is the power to freeze one's past, and even to access the dimensions of the multiverse.

Another self, a different self, may exist on its own timeline.

In short, it's very mysterious.

However, Director Fan has a very clear understanding of the situation. Even what he sees in reality is only due to the power he has gained in the past.

His words went even further.

Back in reality, Qiao Yuan looked at Yan Baobao sitting in the car and laughed, "Just watching over me, huh?"

"What else?" The baby deliberately squeezed in this direction and said with a grin, "Let's stick together."

Qiao Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's stick them together. Um, didn't you see Sergei?"

He glanced around.

Yan Baobao shook her head slightly: "When I went there at noon, it was because there were not enough people. It seems that he had quarreled with the captain and was determined to have Fajia Heavy Industry investigate. I heard that he went to see his master at noon."

"My master spoke with Captain He and reinstated him to his job, but assigned him to conduct an additional investigation."

"Huh? Is that so?" Qiao Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Director Fan to be so thoughtful.

Most of the time, he was powerless to do anything, but he still did some of the work that Sergei wanted to do.

It's quite humane.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Let the catastrophe happen.

He no longer has any thoughts about things he cannot control.

Meanwhile, the battle ahead had reached its climax. Apart from Director Fan revealing the Spear of Time and Space, the man with the mean face and hooked nose simply raised his hand and quickly absorbed all the lights within a radius of several hundred meters.

Streetlights, car lights, neon signs, red holographic goldfish and all other lights converge at one point!

Their surroundings quickly turned pitch black, as if the city that never sleeps had been swallowed by eternal night.

Instead, the man with the hooked nose now had a dazzling, dreamlike glow in his palm, with a powerful radiance that was steadily increasing.

It's as if it's holding up a corner of the starry sky!

Qiao Yuan was radiant. Although he knew that this was how the light sequence was, that it could absorb light, generate light, create a world of light, and even condense light into various weapons, making it extremely manipulable.

I remember that Tu Shanlin was also a light sequence.

However, the combination of the hook-nosed man's light sequence, Zhu Xuan's sea of ​​lightning, and the layers of spacetime torn apart by Director Fan, caused him to quickly lose his vision.

It's too bright!

It wasn't just light; it also generated intense heat.

Do these powerful beings not feel discomfort in their eyes in this ocean of light?

As Qiao Yuan was thinking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be adapting very quickly.

Oh right, when I first advanced to the second tier, the golden soul of the Ascended One nearly doubled in size. I felt a certain improvement in my life level at that time, and that must have been right here.

The higher one's ascension level, the lower the impact of various negative states on oneself.

Until one becomes invulnerable to all laws, achieves immortality, and ascends to the pinnacle of the twelfth level to become a cosmic deity!

He only felt a little confused at first, but gradually got used to it. Although he couldn't see exactly what was happening inside, he was not affected.

Only now did he feel the improvement of the second-order sublimation quality. If it were the first order, his eyes would definitely feel sore and swollen. If it were before the sublimation, he would definitely have tears streaming down his face, see stars, and even suffer damage to his retina.

He was deeply impressed. Before his transformation, even in a bar, being exposed to various laser beams would make his eyes uncomfortable.

Now, facing the ocean of light that illuminates a radius of nearly one kilometer, his eyes are perfectly fine, except that he can't see the details clearly.

Besides being almost immune to the piercing light, the impact of the auras of these three fifth-tier powerhouses on him was also reduced, and he no longer felt the absolute suffocation he felt when he first saw Director Fan take action.

It seems that his control over the spiritual atoms has also improved. He is currently only trying to control 98% of the first transformation, but he is already showing signs of improving to 99%.

At the same time, he opened the car window and tried the Azure Nether Technique, and instantly felt that its utilization rate had increased!

Although it had increased slightly before, only from 80% to 81%, which was negligible, it has now increased to 85% utilization, a dramatic increase.

Qiao Yuan was in an increasingly good mood.

Increased utilization can significantly enhance the power of the Azure Nether Technique.

He had previously taken an unorthodox approach, increasing the power by increasing the number of spiritual atoms.

Yan Baobao also looked over: "Advancing to the second tier has improved this much. Yuan is indeed a promising talent."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Ah, it's still far from the baby's 99% utilization rate."

"Take your time, I trust Yuan."

The baby spoke with exceptional seriousness, just like ten years ago, and I always encourage him.

A warm light appeared in Qiao Yuan's eyes: "Okay."

Even at only the second tier, it has already undergone such a transformation; it will undoubtedly become even stronger upon reaching the third tier.

However, he ultimately decided to take a look anyway.

Let's take a look at the battle at level five.

Anyway, there are still five more timelines tonight.

After setting the anchor point, he watched as the world around him instantly transformed into a time tunnel connecting the future and the past, and was quickly filled with endless radiance.

Qiao Yuan's hair was quickly blown into a mess. In addition to the blinding light, there was also a strong sense of oppression and omnipresent killing intent surrounding him.

The Spear of Time from Director Fan is struggling to repair everything that has collapsed around it.

The hook-nosed man's "Starry Sky" has been suppressing Zhu Xuan's Thunder Sea Eye.

However, due to the arrival of the power of the Mother Goddess of Desire, their minds were corrupted.

"I will not die, for the Mother Goddess will not abandon her most devout believer!"

"As for you, Fan Min, hahaha, all you've done is seek revenge for your lover, haven't you? The Mother Goddess can help you. The root of all desires lies in insufficient firepower and inadequate strength!"

"The spacetime sequence is powerful, but your potential is limited. Join us, praise your desire!"

At this moment, Zhu Xuan's body was almost bizarrely split into large pieces of shell, tearing apart from the head, as if a flower of flesh and blood was blooming.

The sound it made made it difficult for Qiao Yuan to distinguish whether it was Zhu Xuan or the Mother of Desire.

Compared to the unseen Caesar and the sleeping Mother of Night, the connection between the cult of desire and Him seems very strong.

"Shut up!"

A struggle flashed in Director Fan's eyes, and he finally pierced the Spear of Time and Space into the Flower of Flesh and Blood!

The flesh-and-blood flower was severely damaged, spitting out a large amount of blood. However, this blood quickly began to envelop Fan Ju's spacetime spear, and even began to erode the spacetime layer of the dinner party like a virus.

Qiao Yuan's heart sank. He sensed that his advantage was turning into a disadvantage, which was not good.

Even he himself was aroused by a certain desire deep within his heart.

But strangely—it wasn't strong.

He has little interest in power, but money is already flowing in endlessly.

Emotionally, Yan Baobao and Tu Shanlin, as well as Hu Tu, share a brotherly bond.

Everything is great.

As of now, there's nothing in particular I want to achieve; as the saying goes, contentment brings happiness.

But it seems there are still some.

He wanted to lead the little fox out of its shackles and watch it truly grow up to become the fox king in Tu Shanlin's heart.

I want to keep up with Yan Baobao's pace, and I dream that one day in the future I will be strong enough to save Baobao instead of being saved again and again.

He really cares about these things.

That's all.

I had no interest in the Qiao family or anything like that when I read the letter my father left behind.

There won't be any more.

At that time, the man with the hooked nose was also affected, but the other side did not back down an inch.

At this moment, he unleashed the full power of "Starry Sky" in his hands, like the blazing sun dispelling darkness, melting away the corrosive blood within, and letting out a cold laugh: "Why don't you ask me? Can't you find desire within my heart?"

Once he recovered, Director Fan quickly reversed the situation; the two seemed to have an innate understanding.

It seems that Zhu Xuan paid the price of his life to become a temporary vessel for the arrival of the mortals. Although he was powerful, his power was also being consumed quickly.

"It's a real pity, but I know you're wavering because you know very well who harmed your lover. Although you've become the head of a branch office, you're still far from being qualified."

"The time-space sequence will only bind you for life; only the merciful me can help you!"

"Shut up!" Blood trickled from Director Fan's eyes, clearly visible through the energy shield and mecha suit.

"He died for justice! Sooner or later, I will avenge him in a just way!"

"Beg from you? Impossible!"

"Hahaha, foolish, ignorant, ridiculous," the voice was neither male nor female, with a pitying look as if at an insect: "You humans have a saying that justice is written by the victors."

"Has some knowledge, but not much."

"On a cosmic scale, right and wrong, justice, darkness, and ruthlessness are all insignificant," the Mother Goddess of Desire's voice grew stronger. "Even time and dates are merely ways that you humans have invented to record your own existence."

"Heaven and earth are inherently empty; what is there to speak of if we disregard them?"

Director Fan soon bled from all seven orifices, but he became even more frantic in carrying out the reversal, putting everything back on track.

She snapped coldly, "It's funny, isn't it? He needs meaningless followers too, aren't you ashamed?! Get back here!"

"Well said! Hahahaha," the hook-nosed man shouted, and the vast radiance suddenly reacted chemically with the sea of ​​thunder, instantly bursting out terrifying gamma rays, like the birth of a cosmic nebula.

The explosions are currently destroying Zhu Xuan's body, even though the price is that he keeps vomiting blood.

In fact, the war of the fifth-order sublimation is not so brutal, but a trace of the will of the Mother Goddess of Desire has descended upon the opponent, forcing them to disintegrate as quickly as possible in the most extreme way.

Otherwise, the negative effects of continued erosion of reason and interference with the mind will become increasingly difficult to manage.

Qiao Yuan was thrilled; he had genuinely thought those two fifth-level bureau chiefs would be brought down.

Thank goodness.

If that were the case, he would have left with the baby immediately.

In the end, Zhu Xuan's body shattered and was completely obliterated under the scorching light.

As the container was destroyed, even a trace of the Mother Goddess of Desire vanished instantly.

After this battle, both Director Fan and the hook-nosed man were seriously injured, and the terror that Qiao Yuan realized for the first time was indeed extremely exaggerated.

This was merely a wisp of the Mother Goddess of Desire's will, not her true form, and it only used reason to erode her, without employing any physical means whatsoever.

He wasn't much better off. In this future timeline, his demonic stand was completely destroyed, so he could stay in the air and watch the battle without damaging his jetpack.

He also used the Wings of Ariel.

Even the protective cross that they had always been reluctant to use was now being used to transfer damage.

Fortunately, he used these at a certain distance, and due to the characteristics of the Eternal Continent, they left no trace in the timeline.

Therefore, the Desire Mother Goddess never noticed it from beginning to end, otherwise, there would have been much more trouble.

In reality, they are reluctant to use these good things, and even the demon substitutes are carefully planned, waiting to be used in the upcoming catastrophe.

It will be much more comfortable in the future timeline.

Play as much as you want, consume as much as you want.

A moment later, he watched as Director Fan and the man with the hooked nose both underwent treatment and full scans.

Then it seems like they called him over.

It's time for praise again!

Now they're truly famous.

He was quite famous, at least within the Embers circle, but then he suddenly saw someone.

Qiao Yuan originally intended to go straight back.

But this guy—

Damn, I finally found him.

The quantum hard drive that Caesar had back then contained records of the first and second phases of Project Night, which detailed most of the spies that Simon had planted in various Ember branches!

The total number is nearly two hundred people.

Most precincts have a single undercover agent, but there are also precincts with multiple undercover agents.

This person seems to be a close confidant of the hook-nosed bureau chief, who, according to the bureau chief's introduction, is a promising young talent.

They both came from the Baiyun branch of the Sunset District. The undercover agent's name was Lu Bohan. He was about 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Lu Bohan, and had short, choppy hair. He looked very righteous and seemed to be appreciated by the man with the hooked nose.

Qiao Yuan frowned. From the information, he knew that this guy named Lü Bohan had been in the Baiyun branch for more than a year and had been turned by Simon's side at the beginning of the year to become an undercover agent.

All he can do now is watch.

First, you can't report them; second, you can't break off relations.

There's no rush.

Qiao Yuan thought about it and decided to go back. There was no need to foresee what would happen next.

It's basically the same old stuff.

The river of time shifted again before her eyes, and Qiao Yue quickly returned to reality, sitting beside her baby.

The stinky baby squeezed him against the car door~

Having witnessed the war firsthand, he had lost much interest in it and was now lying on the gray fabric sofa in the hovercar.

Just as I was about to ask the baby something, two messages popped up on the attribute panel in front of me.

[Traces from the Future: A trace of the power of the Mother Goddess of Desire, influenced by the Eternal Great Luo rank, leaving traces in the past, present, and future, gaining three instinctive desires, readily available.]

[Effect: At close range, one can glimpse the deepest desires of anyone and learn the reasons behind them.]

"Huh?" Qiao Yuan seemed slightly surprised.

He increasingly found his position in the Eternal Building quite interesting, really interesting.

It seems that as long as one encounters His power within the timeline and is affected, a trace will be left behind.

Then, based on the past, present, and future, it is divided into three parts. Whatever is retained will surely be used!

That was the case with the previous Kingdom of Heaven agreement.

Now it's the Mother Goddess of Desire's turn.

But this time he also made a new discovery.

The power of this Mother Goddess of Desire seems to be simply bewitching, guiding inner thoughts, and completely controlling a person's mind, making them willingly do whatever they desire or obsession they have.

He looked ordinary and not very strong, but he felt that he was actually more threatening.

Because desire is a human instinct—lust, greed—the desire to become strong, the desire to become rich, and so on, there are too many to list.

Almost everyone has one.

The difference is that some people can control their inner desires, while others cannot.

The threshold for self-control is also based on rewards; some people are insatiable, while others know that risk is necessary.

Once the return exceeds the threshold.

For example, someone who originally only wanted to be rich could, under the influence of the Mother Goddess of Desire, directly become a tycoon who can do whatever he wants.

Faced with such a massive impact, many people will inevitably be unable to hold out and will fall directly.

The inevitable price is becoming a puppet of the Mother Goddess of Desire, used to devour more power.

Qiao Yuan hissed, only then realizing that the depth of this Mother of Desire's penetration was definitely no less than that of the Mother of Night, and perhaps even more concealed.

He looked up at the magnificent city, which seemed to be bustling with prosperity. He knew that it must harbor countless filth and darkness, as well as a large number of seemingly respectable but actually wicked cultists.

That said, these three instances of the power of desire and instinct came at just the right time, and can now be used on Simon, whom we truly know inside and out.

I've always been reluctant to use the Kingdom of Heaven Agreement, but I can use my instincts and desires.

just wait.

At some point, the baby pulled two lollipops out of the pocket of the mecha suit.

She smiled and handed him one.

Qiao Yuan took it, slowly tore it open, and put it in his mouth. Actually, the baby's favorite food is lollipops, which are basically a must-have when going out.

Back in the orphanage, there was often no money or food, so lollipops became the only source of joy.

As predicted in the future timeline, the great battle ahead will begin with a decline followed by a resurgence.

This also touched the hearts of Captain He and others, who wanted to help but were powerless to do so.

He did manage to make a phone call to Sergei during this time to offer him some words of comfort.

Sergei seemed relieved: "It's alright. I heard you've done another good deed. Congratulations! But I think the task Director Fan assigned me on short notice is quite meaningful."

"What arrangements have been made?"

"Uh, I can't say for now. This is what Director Fan instructed. I'll tell you later."

"Okay." Qiao Yuan smiled.

After ending the call, he talked to the baby about Director Fan's spacetime sequence.

Time passed slowly.

After the battle ended, both bureau chiefs received treatment.

After that, I just let it go.

This time, he was with the baby, but when they got out of the car, he received an encrypted text message.

He didn't go to see it, but it should be the time and place Simon had mentioned earlier.

He really didn't know whether to say the other party was anxious or very leisurely, since they could have told him on the phone but chose to keep him in suspense.

Never mind, I'll look at it later.
