My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Ha ha.

Pay no attention whatsoever.

The pure-blood mage faction is almost wiped out by the faceless men, and the Holy Marksmen don't care. What are they worried about regarding the Temple's laws?

Just be careful not to accidentally harm any members of the temple, lest they be punished by the light elements in the spiritual ocean.

Xia Zuo even considered stripping away the light element, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fight freely in the war against the faceless men.

"Hiss..." Xia Zuo's head twitched.

The element of light sensed the disloyal thought and violently struck Xia Zuo's mental ocean.

Xia Zuo opened his eyes, stood up, and faced the artificial lake of the academy, using the gentle breeze and the shimmering light reflected from the water to ease the pain in his head.

"Bang bang..." A very slight sound of glass colliding came from beside me.

The little golden chaste tree, basking in the sunlight on the balcony, patted the glass cover of the culture jar with its branches and leaves.

Xia Zuo turned slightly to the side, reached out and pressed his hand on the glass cover, connecting with the little golden chaste tree.

“Xia Zuo, you have hunted too many monsters near the Golden Bauhinia territory. The Golden Bauhinia alchemists patrolling the border will soon discover the missing monster clan.”

“Alright, then I won’t collect monster materials there.” Xia Zuo smiled at Little Golden Thorn Flower. “Thank you for guiding my team. It would be even better if you could tell me the whereabouts of the Faceless Man directly.”

The moment this topic was brought up, the little golden thorn bud drooped. "I'm sorry, Xia Zuo. I can't tell you the answer. Just like I said a few days ago, the faceless man has mastered special spacetime abilities. It's useless for me to tell you where he is. In three to five seconds at most, he will leave there, and all that awaits you is a trap."

Xia Zuo also knew that the Golden Thorn Flower Clan did not want to help, otherwise they would not have searched for monsters for the Blood Element Servant team far away in the jungle. It was just that the Faceless Men were more cunning and possessed abilities like [Danger Omen] that could predict crises in advance.

Such an opponent, even if not strong, is very difficult to track down, let alone a faceless man.

"Then can you tell me what his special spacetime ability is like?" Xia Zuo asked after thinking for a moment.

“Hmm…” Little Golden Vitex rested her “chin” on a leaf. “We don’t know exactly how he did it, what casting materials, gestures, and incantations he used… The only clue is that when he uses this spacetime ability, he needs to clear a large open space for himself, and nothing can be placed around his body…”

“An open space… there can’t be anything around it…” Xia Zuo frowned in thought. “Nothing around it means his target isn’t an item, which means he’s just summoning a time-space container but not putting any items into it… What’s the point of that… is he just using the time-space container to read the Sands of Time floating in the air?”

Xia Zuo paced slowly on the balcony.

After a long while, he touched the top of his head, his eyes filled with surprise:

"Could that guy have used a time-space container to encase himself?!"

Chapter 29 [Spacetime Phase Simulator]

On a mountain peak in the desolate western part of the Western Continent.

The dense forest shaded the ground, providing shade for wild animals and creating an excellent secret environment for those who wanted to act covertly, hiding from the alchemical satellites high in the sky.

On this unnamed mountain, Xia Zuo used his Blood Element servants to carve out an underground cave.

Entering from the cave on the south side of the mountain, you will float down a winding man-made corridor and pass through several hidden checkpoints guarded by blood element servants before reaching the underground alchemy chamber, which covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters.

All the alchemists in the alchemy chamber are played by Xia Zuo's [flesh and blood clones].

They worked silently, precisely, and tirelessly, day and night, to produce high-concentration explosives, sophisticated alchemical instruments, and all sorts of restorative and functional medicines for Xia Zuo.

A blood-red figure passed through the corridor, bypassed the checkpoints without hindrance, ignored the surrounding flesh and blood alchemists, and headed straight for the independent alchemy chamber at the deepest part of the underground cave.

The heavy doors woven with blood magic slowly opened, and a blood-red figure stepped inside.

This is Xia Zuo's most secret place, used specifically to prepare mutant nutrient paste and cultivate powerful blood magic puppets.

The crimson figure waved his hand, summoning a blood magic palm that rearranged the room's layout, creating a large open space in the center.

Then, he reached under his robe and placed his alchemy pouch and enchanted accessories on the desk by the wall, and also put the miniature culture jar from his sleeve on the table.

"Xia Zuo, do you want to try wrapping yourself in a spacetime container?" the little golden chaste tree in the culture jar asked.

“Yes.” Xia Zuo nodded and took a deep breath. “I don’t know what will happen. If something goes wrong… I don’t want to involve An Ru’er and the others at the academy, so I can only try here.”

Xia Zuo did a final check of his belongings. Except for his mage robe, underwear, and elemental body, which he couldn't take off, he removed everything else that might interfere with his spells.

He calmed himself down, went to the open space, and summoned his spacetime container.

After taking another deep breath, Xia Zuo suppressed his nervousness and stepped into the time-space container without hesitation.

A beam of bright white light shot out from the spacetime container, filling the entire alchemy chamber.

Although the golden jujube does not have a visual system similar to the human lens, it can still sense changes in the tubules through optical organs unique to plants.

The bright white light stung its "eyes," and the little golden chaste tree wrapped its head with branches and leaves, burying its flower buds in the soil.

After about three to five minutes, the light that pierced the soil through the cracks in the ground weakened.

The little golden chaste tree carefully raised its head, slowly moving aside the branches and leaves blocking its forehead, and examined the time-space container in the room.

"This...this is..." Little Golden Vitex opened its arms-like branches in utter shock, staring dumbfounded at the colorful figure not far away.

"It worked...it worked on the first try...we thought it would take many attempts..."

The little golden chaste tree faces the colorful human figure and sways and dances in the culture jar.

"Merlindora, can you hear me? Shazo succeeded on his first try, you don't need to gather intelligence for him anymore."

...

"Where is this?"

Xia Zuo's consciousness floated in the pitch-black environment.

There was not a single ray of light around.

He tried to breathe, blink, and raise his arms, but nothing worked.

This is a more eerie scene than the initial entry into a meditative state.

It was like embracing the darkness, suffocating between the dark peaks.

What happened to me?

Xia Zuo's consciousness raised questions once again.

There was no sound or echo, and no response.

Endless silence, deathly deep.

Suddenly, a tiny flash of light appeared directly in front of us.

It moves extremely fast, quickly transforming into a perfectly round, seven-colored disc.

Xia Zuo's consciousness was uncontrollably sucked into it, and he quickly traveled through the passage filled with colorful light.

The message from the cheat system instantly snapped Xia Zuo out of his daze.

“The host has activated the [Space-Time Phase Simulator].” “What simulator?” Xia Zuo was a little confused.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the Golden Finger continued to send messages:

"The Spacetime Phase Simulator has two activation modes."

"1. [Immersive Mode]: This mode can only be activated after the host envelops themselves in a spacetime container. In [Immersive Mode], the host can use their consciousness to experience events related to their current physical body in three timelines: past, present, and future. There is only one past and one present timeline, while the future timeline is differentiated according to the different actions the host takes in reality."

"2. [Convenient Mode]. After running [Immersive Mode] for the first time, the host will obtain a new talent spell [Space-Time Phase Convenient Mode]. Activating this spell in the spell list will allow the host to perform phase deduction on specific issues and predict almost all outcomes."

So that's how it is... So that's how it is...

This is why the faceless man can foresee the future and the end of time.

Xia Zuo's consciousness trembled slightly, and an overwhelming sense of joy surged through his mind.

"A user interface with a very complex button layout."

The top bar of this interface is the [Space-Time Phase Status Bar], which displays the space-time information where Xia Zuo's consciousness is currently located, the space-time information of the target object, the space-time phase status of the environment and the target object, as well as the ratio of the space-time phase simulator to real time flow rate of 6000:1 - that is, for every 6000 seconds simulated, 1 second passes in reality.

There was a downward line under the words "space-time phase". Xia Zuo tapped it with his mind and a definition box popped up.

..

Spatiotemporal phase: When reading a single target, spatiotemporal information is obtained, and spatiotemporal phase is the correlation details between spatiotemporal information.

For example, if you choose an apple as a target, you will get spatiotemporal information such as the apple's spatial coordinates and shelf life. You will also get time information related to the past, present, and future, such as which apple tree the apple was picked from and where its core will grow into an apple tree. This spatiotemporal information describing the relationship between individuals is called spatiotemporal phase.

..

The [Space-Time Phase Status Bar] shows that Xia Zuo is currently in the [Space-Time Channel in Initialization], which is expected to be initialized in 3 minutes of sensory experience.

The next column after the [Space-Time Phase Status Bar] is the [Space-Time Phase Log Bar], which is used to automatically record Xia Zuo's operations in the [Space-Time Phase Simulator]. It will mark the timeline number, operation time point, operation item, etc., so as to prevent Xia Zuo from confusing which timeline he has interfered with.

The third column, which Xia Zuo can operate, is the [Space-Time Phase Search Bar].

Enter the entries from the two columns above in this field to search for related people, things, and events across all timelines.

With the help of the cheat code, the entire operation process has been simplified and made more intelligent, but if you don't understand the relationship and differences between the timelines, it is still easy to make mistakes.

The cheat code provided Xia Zuo with a case study, guiding him on how to access the present timeline.

The seven-colored passage changed amidst a fleeting flash of light, and when the light faded, the scene of the alchemy chamber where Xia Zuo's physical body was located appeared before his eyes.

This is not a real-world scene, but a 1:1 simulation created by the [Spacetime Phase Simulator] based on Xia Zuo's [present] timeline.

Everything in the simulation scene—the desk, chair, alchemy table, the small golden chaste tree on the table, etc.—is static and cannot be interacted with. The heavy blood magic door of the alchemy room cannot be opened either. Xia Zuo can only observe the spacetime phase of objects in this small area.

Guided by the cheat code, Xia Zuo retrieved the spacetime information of the desk and used the [Spacetime Phase Search Bar] to find out how the desk was processed from logs into planks and strips, and then gradually made into a table.

The search results above are presented as text information. Only those search results that Xia Zuo personally experienced can be used to recreate the scene in [Quiet Mode].

This concludes the beginner's tutorial provided by GameShark.

Xia Zuo couldn't wait to access his past timeline, wanting to see how he had traveled to this world.

A flash of light appeared in the colorful passage, revealing the dimly lit underground prison environment.

Xia Zuo's consciousness floated in the prison corridor.

The cell to his left held Little Nose, who died tragically in the explosion and fire, while the cell to his right was that of the original owner, "Xia Zuo".

On the control interface of the spacetime phase simulator, Xia Zuo had dragged the progress bar of the [past] timeline to the far left, which meant that he had arrived at the starting point of his [past] timeline.

Xia Zuo used his mind to press the play button on the [Past] timeline.

Looking at the boy who slowly sat up in the cell, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked around, Xia Zuo's mind was filled with doubt.

"Golden Finger, I have a question."
