Chapter 1154: Sense of Distance

"What do I have to do with you?"

Han Liang snorted coldly, his heart full of wariness; the other party was coming for him and might very well strike.

The Time Dominator said indifferently, "I want to lead you; I cannot let you waste your talent."

"How arrogant! I'd like to see how you intend to lead me!"

Killing intent erupted in Han Liang's eyes.

The Time Dominator suddenly vanished, his voice echoing in the air, "Han Liang, sooner or later you will understand. I am not your enemy. You and I will reach a consensus in the future. Once you see through the essence of existence, you will understand."

"I hope you will be stronger the next time we meet. At that time, I will no longer try to persuade you with kind words like this."

Han Liang frowned deeply. As the Domain of Dharmic powers in the surrounding sky dissipated, Long Hao suddenly appeared by his side.

Long Hao asked, "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly use your Dharmic powers?"

Han Liang did not hide anything and recounted the process of his encounter with the Time Dominator.

Long Hao frowned.

Hearing the name, he knew the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

Han Liang's strength was already terrifying, yet he actually couldn't hurt the opponent at all.

When did such a powerhouse emerge in the Endless Era?

Long Hao said in a low voice, "Go ask Master."

"Grandfather?"

Han Liang's eyes lit up. Right, there was surely no person or matter in this world that his grandfather didn't know about.

…

The Third Dojo.

Han Jue opened his eyes; another ten million years had passed.

He called in Han Liang, who was waiting outside the Taoist temple. Although there were Clones in the Dojo, they generally didn't concern themselves with such matters, only being responsible for letting people in and out and guarding the Dojo.

Han Liang had already waited for hundreds of thousands of years. After entering the Dojo, he bowed respectfully.

For some reason, he felt incredibly nervous facing Han Jue.

The time spent waiting made him realize that his relationship with Han Jue was not just that of grandfather and grandson; there was also an insurmountable chasm between them.

Only after leaving this place did he realize just how powerful his grandfather truly was.

Han Jue asked with a smile, "What is the matter?"

Han Liang took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his mind. He looked up and asked, "Grandfather, do you know of the Time Dominator?"

"I do."

"Who exactly is he?"

"He is one of your Senior Martial Uncles, but he has severed his Karma. No one remembers him, as if he never existed."

Han Jue replied, his tone very casual, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

Han Liang's eyes widened. He hadn't expected the mysterious and terrifying Time Dominator to actually come from the same sect. Was the Hidden Gate really this fearsome?

Growing up, the Hidden Gate Disciples he encountered were all very kind, causing him to overlook the sect's terrifying foundation.

Han Liang asked, "Grandfather, what should I do?"

Han Jue said, "What are your thoughts?"

"I naturally cannot follow him. Even though he is a Senior Martial Uncle, he wants to tell me how to do things; it feels like a conspiracy."

"Then don't follow him."

"But I can't beat him…"

"Then find a way to beat him."

"I…"

Han Liang was left speechless.

Han Jue said, "Did you come to me to ask about his Origin, or do you want me to help you deal with him?"

Han Liang fell silent.

He really wanted to say to just get rid of the Time Dominator, but he knew he couldn't say that.

Saying it would be too beneath him!

He was already a Great Dao Supreme, the strongest Prodigy recognized by the heavens. If he encountered trouble, he actually had to ask his grandfather for help?

If word got out, how could he face anyone?

How would his grandfather look at him?

Moreover, Han Jue might not necessarily help him, as the other party was also his grandfather's disciple.

Han Liang gritted his teeth and said, "I just wanted to know his identity."

Han Jue smiled and said, "He is not that terrifying. The reason you couldn't hurt him is simply because he doesn't dare to appear before you."

Han Liang was stunned.

Han Jue was telling the truth. Immortal God Ji was using a method similar to a Dream Message, but it manifested in reality, making it impossible for Han Liang to distinguish.

Immortal God Ji didn't dare to contact Han Liang in person, as doing so would provoke Han Liang's original consciousness.

Han Liang would be a Creator Daoist in the future, and a Creator Daoist can sense others using the power of space-time to contact their past self, unless the other party is the Creation Sovereign.

This logic applies to lower Realms as well. Trying to go to the past to kill an enemy you can't defeat in the future is a pipe dream; if you are stronger than the enemy, there's no need to go to the past.

To those above the Saint Realm, space-time is merely a rule that can be manipulated.

Han Liang suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Damn it, so it was all just a bluff!"

He felt a sense of relief, feeling that the Time Dominator was not scary at all.

Han Liang hurriedly thanked Han Jue.

After chatting for a while, he left the Dojo.

On the way back to the Dragon Court, Han Liang felt unsettled.

He could feel that his grandfather didn't dote on him as much as before; there was a great sense of distance between them, a distance that made him almost forget they were grandfather and grandson.

He suddenly thought of Murong Qi's words.

Leaving the Dojo might truly make him regret it.

But soon, his gaze became firm again.

He, Han Liang, must ultimately rely on himself and cannot always think of relying on others!

"Time Dominator, fine. Just consider yourself a whetstone for my life!"

Han Liang regained his confidence, high-spirited and vigorous.

…

Inside the Dojo.

Han Jue began checking his mail again. To him, Immortal God Ji pretending to be the Time Dominator was just a minor squabble.

Immortal God Ji, Venerable Seeker of Saints, and Fang Liang had already gathered in the Origin Space-Time and reached an agreement. What they wanted was not Han Liang, but to transcend the Creator Daoist Realm; Han Liang's Aptitude was their hope.

Unfortunately, they would not succeed. Han Jue had already seen that in the future, these three would fall at the feet of Han Huang, Primal Chaos, and Huang Zuntian.

Han Jue could see far too many futures. He couldn't possibly guard against every single one. If he tried, it would be better to just exterminate all beings and remain alone. But if he did that, the fundamental rules of the Blank Domain would backlash.

Grandmist, Chaos, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to be isolated by the Blank Domain before, but they were actually being protected. If the fundamental rules truly wanted to destroy them, how could they possibly withstand it?

Putting aside the matter of Immortal God Ji, Han Jue focused on reading his mail.

Recently, Han Huang and the Dao Ancestor had shown no activity.

It seemed that after establishing the supreme rules, they had devoted themselves entirely to the construction of their Great Dao Worlds.

Han Jue turned his gaze toward them.

Han Huang's Grandmist was the fastest-growing among the three Grandmists. Its scale had already surpassed the Heavenly Dao, and various rules and Daos were gradually being perfected, attracting a continuous stream of races to join.

The Dao Ancestor, on the other hand, was encountering trouble. He had originally founded the Dao Heaven Human Race to seize opportunities during the Great Dao Calamity. However, the Dao Heaven Human Race now dominated the Great Dao World of him and Pangu, enslaving any foreign races that joined, causing their reputation to deteriorate.

How could a Great Dao World be established by relying on only one race?

The Dao Ancestor began to find ways to suppress the Dao Heaven Human Race, but he couldn't act personally. Thus, various Heavenly Tribulations and fates began to appear for the Dao Heaven Human Race.

This powerful race that wanted to dominate the heavens had no choice but to quiet down.

Han Jue began to look forward to seeing who, between Han Huang and the Dao Ancestor, would be the first to attain the Creator Daoist Realm.
