Chapter 1320: Chapter 6: Grab and Run

On the way to the Yin Yang Twin Flowers, Lin Yuan never ceased observing his own future timeline.

Through the encounters within his timeline, he conducted repeated ’trial and error’.

Determining whether he should intervene, and the numerous possible consequences of intervening.

If he could bear the consequences after taking action, he would proceed to seize it.

If not, or if the cost was too high, he would watch from afar.

At the current time node and location, it was where Lin Yuan observed the greatest value opportunity in his timeline.

“In the future timeline, this opportunity has already been targeted by two time lifeforms. They have even been laying out countless ages for this opportunity, waiting for today to be ripe.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Previously, when he observed the timeline reaching this node, it became blurred and unclear.

And with deeper subsequent observation, Lin Yuan discovered that those two time lifeforms were not simple.

If he were to take action and compete with them, it might lead to drawing the attention of a true Time Lord through these two time lifeforms.

Whether in the Chaos Void, the first origin world or the second origin world.

The time lifeforms Lin Yuan encountered were extremely friendly to him, even eager to make alliances at great cost.

This is because they coexist in the same dimensional space with him, making them natural allies.

When this dimensional space breaks down and enters the dimensional gap, they become time lifeforms of the same camp.

But for time lifeforms outside the dimensional space, that’s not necessarily the case.

Upon perceiving the peculiarity of Lin Yuan’s future timeline, the first thought was not to make alliances.

There’s also the possibility that this affair could be reported to a Time Lord they can contact.

There’s probably no time lifeform willing to offend a future Time Lord like Lin Yuan.

But leaking Lin Yuan’s information and informing another Time Lord is still a possibility.

Of course, it’s only a possibility.

But Lin Yuan cannot let his guard down.

Therefore, on the way to the Yin Yang Twin Flowers.

Lin Yuan tried his best not to have any contact with other time lifeforms.

With the methods of time lifeforms, just a moment’s contact could lead to investigating related timelines along causality.

And thus understand Lin Yuan’s true details.

Therefore.

After repeatedly deliberating over the opportunity discovered in the timeline.

Lin Yuan ultimately chose to give up.

This opportunity, although significant in value.

But before stepping into the thirteenth realm, Lin Yuan did not want to be too ostentatious.

However, now?

The awakening of the eighth door Physical Body Divine Ability ’Lord Character’.

Begins to seal Lin Yuan’s own timeline.

Even if he contacts other time lifeforms, it would be difficult for them to perceive anything.

Peering into Lin Yuan’s timeline is much harder than peering into a timeline of a same-level time lifeform.

“I can give it a try.”

Lin Yuan stood quietly in the endless dimensional gap, observing multiple timelines with each breath.

With the blessing of the Lord Character, the timelines Lin Yuan saw were much easier to view than before, and even the timelines of those time lifeforms became clearer instead of being vague and distorted.

In no time, Lin Yuan had observed hundreds to thousands of timelines.

All were timelines where he took action to compete for the opportunity and interacted with those two time lifeforms.

Whether successful or failed during these times, they did not leave any hidden danger.

“Since that’s the case.”

Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart, “Then I’ll act.”

In the thirteenth realm of time lifeforms, there’s also a great demand for resources.

The metamorphosis of time lifeforms themselves, which one doesn’t need resources as vast as mountains and seas?

The seven time lifeforms in the Chaos Void, their true bodies are in seclusion within the Chaos Void, but their main battle avatars are basically fighting and seizing crucial resources in the dimensional gap against other time lifeforms.

The other two origin worlds are no exception.

Why do the time lifeforms of the three-dimensional spaces pay so much attention to Lin Yuan?

Because once Lin Yuan grows, the pressure on them will be significantly reduced.

Time lifeforms stand lofty, but also face many pressures.

“That opportunity won’t fully mature for another hundred years.”

Lin Yuan’s mind swirled; since he was preparing to compete, he would naturally give it his all.

With this thought, Lin Yuan began using the Taiji Primordial Spirit as an ’anchor point’ to summon his true body.

The Taiji Primordial Spirit took dozens or hundreds of years to reach here.

But his true body? The power is different, and so is the speed; coupled with the Taiji Primordial Spirit as an ’anchor point’, the span of traversing time and space is significantly increased.

The true body arriving here would take just a few years at most.

…

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred years had passed.

A massive black-gray tree slowly floated in the endless dimensional gap.

This black-gray giant tree is called the Nightmare Tree, a notorious place in the dimensional gap, but also nurturing the Nightmare Clan.

The Nightmare Clan was born from the Nightmare Tree, mastering numerous unfathomable methods, nearly becoming the most powerful force below the time lifeforms using the Nightmare Tree’s body.

And at this moment, at the top of the black-gray Nightmare Tree, a fruit covered in black and gray colors gradually matured.

This fruit is called the Nightmare Fruit, which after refinement, allows one to experience nightmare after nightmare, with miraculous effects on enhancing one’s mental resilience.

However, compared to past Nightmare Fruits, this one is much larger.

Normal Nightmare Fruits are only ten meters in size, while this Nightmare Fruit reaches a diameter of ten thousand meters.

“Oh my, such a large Nightmare Fruit, what kind of nightmare could it create? How great will be the enhancement to mental resilience?”

“A ten-thousand-meter-large Nightmare Fruit?”

Instantly, countless members of the Nightmare Clan went mad.

Without hesitation, headed towards the Nightmare Fruit.

At that moment—

Spacetime around the Nightmare Tree solidified.

An immense face emerged, gently inhaling towards the Nightmare Tree.

Instantly, countless members of the Nightmare Clan were sucked into that gigantic mouth, even the Nightmare Fruit at the top started to sway precariously.

“No!”

“It’s a mighty Time Being.”

Countless members of the Nightmare Clan looked utterly hopeless; they never imagined that the Nightmare Fruit borne by the Nightmare Tree this time would attract a mighty Time Being.

In the interdimensional gaps, Time Beings are the undisputed rulers, capable of wandering at will.

“Thousand-faced River, this Nightmare Fruit is mine.”

Boom~ The colossal face opened its mouth to inhale, the Nightmare Fruit swayed, and not far away, an enormous hand suddenly formed, reaching for the Nightmare Fruit.

“Ling Hangui, if you want this Nightmare Fruit, show your skill.” The enormous face seemed to have anticipated this, halted its inhaling, and shouted towards the giant hand.

As a thirteen-ranked Time Being, it had observed countless timelines even before the Nightmare Fruit matured, making numerous preparations.

Crash!

Spacetime shattered into pieces.

Both Time Beings instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Neither Time Being ’Thousand-faced River’ nor Time Being ’Ling Hangui’ was weaker than the other in terms of power.

Only because of this parity did they decide to fight over the Nightmare Fruit.

Both had hopes of seizing the Nightmare Fruit.

If the power gap between them were too vast, the weaker side would have had no confidence.

They wouldn’t even bother to partake in the Nightmare Fruit struggle.

“Nightmare Fruit.” Just as the two Time Beings were fighting.

At the top of the Nightmare Tree, a figure quietly appeared— it was Lin Yuan.

“This Nightmare Fruit can significantly enhance a Time Being’s mental will, even among the thirteen-ranked rare treasures, it is considered exceptional.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes showed desire.

The Hei Yu from the first source world’s Hei Yu Nest had already provided minimal mental will enhancement, and once he reached the thirteenth rank, it would likely have no effect.

At least Lin Yuan hadn’t heard of the six ancestors needing Hei Yu to boost their mental will.

So this Nightmare Fruit was invaluable.

“Collect.”

Lin Yuan reached out and took the Nightmare Fruit.

The enormous Nightmare Fruit, spanning thousands of meters, went directly into Lin Yuan’s inner universe.

Instantly, causality was isolated.

“Who was that?”

The disappearance of the Nightmare Fruit immediately caught the attention of the two Time Beings.

In the many future timelines they had observed, only the two Time Beings were vying for the Nightmare Fruit.

Because of this, they had relaxed their guard and focused most of their energy on each other’s clash.

In their seen future timelines, only defeating the other would secure the Nightmare Fruit.

But now?

The Nightmare Fruit suddenly vanished.

And Lin Yuan appeared out of nowhere.

It outpaced the expectations of the two Time Beings.

This scene had never appeared in the future timelines they viewed.

“Thank you both.”

Lin Yuan glanced at the two Time Beings in the distance, smiling slightly.

His figure silently disappeared.

“No!”

’Thousand-faced River’ suddenly let out a roar, an intangible soul attack, through some ethereal causality, directly struck Lin Yuan.

Beyond countless distances.

Lin Yuan’s figure suddenly appeared.

Soon after, a shiver ran through his mind.

Various attacks came at him, originating from the enraged strikes of the Time Beings, even Lin Yuan could only block them with all his might, spreading through his infinite Constant Sand Particle World to finally withstand them.

“Leave.”

Lin Yuan did not hesitate; with his current strength, to confront two Time Beings head-on? Nearly impossible.

It was difficult to even challenge a single normal Time Being. In the second source world, where Lin Yuan fiercely battled the Demon God, it was because the Demon God wasn’t a normal Time Being and couldn’t foresee future timelines.

Swoosh.

Lin Yuan’s figure vanished again.

In terms of escape speed, Lin Yuan considered himself not weaker than any Time Being, understanding the Spacetime Great Dao at a Time Being level.

…

Beside the Nightmare Tree.

Two Time Beings ’Thousand-faced River’ and ’Ling Hangui’ looked furious; they had waited for countless ages for the day of this special Nightmare Fruit’s maturation, only for it to be snatched by another Time Being?

“Who exactly was it?”

Time Being ’Thousand-faced River’ initially intended to chase after them.

But a sense of reason within held it back, prompting it to glance at Lin Yuan’s timeline.

With just one look, ’Thousand-faced River’ felt a chill in its heart.

“This?”

Time Being ’Thousand-faced River’ was shocked; the timeline it viewed was vague as if entirely locked, revealing no useful information.

“Must not provoke.”

Time Being ’Thousand-faced River’ immediately gave up the idea of pursuit.

To have one’s timeline sealed to such an extent, even if not a Time Lord, was close enough, beyond what it could chase down.
