Chapter 348 Giving You a Push

"Tower Master, why not switch to someone else?"

Deputy Tower Master Nalan glanced at Lin Yuan standing to the side, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice.

He still found it somewhat difficult to act.

Furthermore, Deputy Tower Master Nalan felt that Supreme Being Xia Qin did not need to deliberately inflict setbacks on Galaxy Star Master.

As the strongest Genius in the history of Human Civilization, he should always forge ahead courageously.

"It will be you."

"No one else is suitable."

Supreme Being Xia Qin shook his head.

"Alright."

Deputy Tower Master Nalan nodded.

The will of the Supreme Powerhouse could not be disobeyed, even if he thought what the Supreme Powerhouse did was problematic.

But when it came to following orders, he still had to follow them.

"Galaxy Star Master, if you can't hold on later, remember to admit defeat," Deputy Tower Master Nalan kindly reminded.

Although Supreme Being Xia Qin restricted the two of them to sparring only in terms of the Time Rule, Deputy Tower Master Nalan believed that he was only a step away from comprehending all time models.

Galaxy Star Master was only a Tier 9, and even perceiving time fluctuations was very difficult for him. What kind of attainments could he possibly have regarding the Time Rule?

Under the suppression of the rules, if Galaxy Star Master admitted defeat in time, he could also suffer a little less torment.

"Understood." Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan's words put quite a bit of pressure on Lin Yuan.

After all, the first time Lin Yuan saw Deputy Tower Master Nalan make a move was back when he was at Tier 7.

At that time, Deputy Tower Master Nalan stood outside the Black Abyss Secret Realm and, with his own strength, suppressed the entire Black Abyss Clan so much that they dared not resist.

If Experts from the Zerg race hadn't arrived in the end, the entire Black Abyss Clan would probably have been slaughtered through by Deputy Tower Master Nalan.

"Let's begin."

Supreme Being Xia Qin waved his right hand.

Lin Yuan and Deputy Tower Master Nalan then felt the world shift around them.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them appeared under a desolate starry sky.

With Supreme Being Xia Qin's authority, moving the two of them to a virtual 'arena' world was just a matter of a single thought.

"Galaxy Star Master, you make the first move." Deputy Tower Master Nalan was quite courteous.

If he were fighting to the death with alien races, he would naturally strike first if he could, without the slightest bit of carelessness.

But Lin Yuan?

First, he and Lin Yuan were merely sparring, which was far from a life-and-death battle. As a Senior, it was only right for him to yield a little.

Secondly, Deputy Tower Master Nalan believed that victory was within his grasp.

How could a Tier 10 lose to a Tier 9? Furthermore, he was an A-grade among Tier 10s, an expert among A-grades.

Under such a huge gap in strength, if Deputy Tower Master Nalan were to strike first again, he would feel a bit embarrassed.

To hell with 'bullying a weakling'—at least he had to give the other party a chance to make a move.

"Remember, strike with all your might."

"This might be your only chance to attack." Deputy Tower Master Nalan said with a relaxed expression, offering a reminder.

The clash in the Time Rule Domain often happened in the blink of an eye. In the collision of different Time Rules, the disadvantaged side usually had no chance to resist.

Of course, real combat had many variables, such as using other means.

Being inferior in the Time Rule did not mean being inferior in other means as well.

However, Supreme Being Xia Qin stipulated that only comparisons of Time Rule comprehension were allowed.

This meant that the battle was destined not to last very long. In a collision purely within the time Domain, it was difficult to fall into a stalemate.

The reason Deputy Tower Master Nalan felt that Supreme Being Xia Qin deliberately wanted to give Galaxy Star Master setbacks was precisely because of this.

The rules were restricted too rigidly, almost as if they were specially prepared for himself.

"Alright," Lin Yuan nodded. "I will strike with all your might."

"Mhm." Deputy Tower Master Nalan looked satisfied.

Only after Galaxy Star Master went all out and discovered that he was no match for him whatsoever, being treated like a plaything in terms of the Time Rule, could it serve the purpose of tempering.

"Galaxy Star Master, in terms of opening up space layers, I am indeed inferior to you, but in terms of time?" Deputy Tower Master Nalan thought leisurely.

Suddenly, at this very moment.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan discovered that Lin Yuan in the distance had disappeared at some unknown time.

"Hmm?"

Deputy Tower Master Nalan immediately realized something was wrong.

"The time flow rate… has changed?" Deputy Tower Master Nalan's expression turned solemn.

Swish.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan raised his hand and pressed down, instantly releasing a massive amount of time fluctuations, constantly interfering with the time fluctuations around him.

"Break for me!!"

Deputy Tower Master Nalan vaguely realized something and exerted his Time Rule comprehension to the limit, wanting to break through the various time quagmires enveloping him.

Outside.

Lin Yuan stood quietly there. Floating in front of him was a crystal ball half a meter in size, entirely composed of time fluctuations.

Inside the crystal ball, Deputy Tower Master Nalan struggled endlessly, but ultimately, like being deeply trapped in a quagmire, he was enveloped by various time quagmires and unable to break free on the time level.

After comprehending all time models, Lin Yuan continuously combined multiple time models to figure out many secret techniques at the Time Rule level.

Among them, the Time Cage was Lin Yuan's proudest creation, continuously fusing and intertwining one thousand three hundred and thirty-seven time models to build a corridor of time.

Corridor after corridor of time then formed a Time Cage.

Lifeforms trapped in the Time Cage, as long as their comprehension of the Time Rule was not superior to Lin Yuan's, would be unable to perceive their own time flow rate and would completely become playthings.

After all, the amount of time experienced by the lifeforms inside the Time Cage depended entirely on Lin Yuan.

With a single thought from Lin Yuan, the other party could experience one day while the outside world experienced a year, or the other party could experience a year while the outside world experienced one day.

If this wasn't being treated like a plaything, what was?

Of course, this move was not without a way to forcefully break it open.

Even if Deputy Tower Master Nalan's time comprehension was inferior to Lin Yuan's, if he went all out and used means outside the Time Rule, he could still break free.

The Time Rule was not an invincible rule; it still depended on the comprehensive Foundation of both sides.

But without a doubt, the higher the comprehension of the Time Rule, the more one could master the initiative—just like Lin Yuan, if he truly fought Deputy Tower Master Nalan with all his might.

Not limited to the Time Rule Domain.

Even if he couldn't beat the other party, with the help of the Time Rule, he could still retreat completely unscathed.

"Time Cage?"

High above the virtual 'arena' world, Supreme Being Xia Qin was similarly observing the floating time crystal ball in front of Lin Yuan.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan struggled desperately inside the crystal ball, trying to shake the cage, but from beginning to end, the time crystal ball was as steady as Mount Tai without the slightest bit of shaking.

"This time secret technique combines more than a thousand time models, possessing the effects of trapping enemies and stability. Even placed at the Tier 10 level, it can be considered profound."

Supreme Being Xia Qin thought silently in his heart, while simultaneously forming a rough positioning of Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Time Rule.

Without Deputy Tower Master Nalan, if Lin Yuan merely cast this time secret technique, it couldn't fully reflect the many manifestations of the Time Cage when facing an enemy.

Nor could Supreme Being Xia Qin see Lin Yuan's true attainments in the Time Rule Domain.

But with Deputy Tower Master Nalan constantly probing inside the Time Cage, Supreme Being Xia Qin could naturally see more of its essence.

"Alright."

"Stop."

Supreme Being Xia Qin watched for a moment longer, then spoke.

Instantly.

The world shifted once again, and Lin Yuan returned to Supreme Being Xia Qin's personal world.

The time crystal ball floated before him, and Deputy Tower Master Nalan had stopped struggling inside, likely realizing that relying solely on his own means regarding the Time Rule, he could not break free.

Swish.

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly.

The time crystal ball in front of him instantly collapsed.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan's figure grew larger and larger, finally reappearing in the outside world.

"I'm out?"

Deputy Tower Master Nalan felt as if a lifetime had passed, even though the battle had only lasted for dozens of breaths.

Yet he had stayed inside the Time Cage for more than ten minutes.

And these ten-odd minutes made Deputy Tower Master Nalan completely figure out that falling into the Time Cage should be at the hands of Galaxy Star Master.

Supreme Being Xia Qin had him spar with Galaxy Star Master.

Then during the sparring, his opponent could only be Galaxy Star Master.

No matter how unbelievable Deputy Tower Master Nalan found it, it was impossible for him to question the Supreme Powerhouse.

"Galaxy Star Master." Deputy Tower Master Nalan looked at Lin Yuan, his gaze somewhat complicated.

During the ten-odd minutes spent inside the Time Cage, Deputy Tower Master Nalan had thoroughly witnessed Lin Yuan's methods regarding the Time Rule.

It was definitely superior to his own. Not to mention completely comprehending the Time Rule, at the very least, he had already figured out all the Time Rule models summarized by Human Civilization.

This Galaxy Star Master, who only had Tier 9 strength, had already surpassed a veteran A-grade Tier 10 like him in the Time Rule Domain.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan glanced at the Supreme Powerhouse. At this moment, he vaguely realized that Supreme Being Xia Qin letting him spar with Galaxy Star Master was not to temper Galaxy Star Master.

Instead, he was treating him as a test subject to probe roughly what height Galaxy Star Master had reached in the Time Rule Domain.

"I have accepted your concession."

He didn't know that Deputy Tower Master Nalan hadn't even comprehended any Time Rule models. In Lin Yuan's mind, Deputy Tower Master Nalan had a 'very strong' filter.

Coupled with the fact that Deputy Tower Master Nalan repeatedly urged him to go all out before their sparring match,

led to Lin Yuan not giving Deputy Tower Master Nalan any chance to resist at all, directly suppressing him with a time cage.

"Galaxy Star Master, to have such a high comprehension of the Time Rule at just Tier 9, I admit defeat completely and wholeheartedly." Deputy Tower Master Nalan sighed.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan understood that given Lin Yuan's growth speed, since his comprehension of the Time Rule was already ahead of him now, the gap between them in the future would only grow larger and larger.

"Alright."

"Nalan, you may withdraw first."

On the throne, Supreme Being Xia Qin spoke, glancing at Deputy Tower Master Nalan.

"Understood."

Deputy Tower Master Nalan immediately bowed, his figure disappearing from the spot.

Losing to a junior like Lin Yuan, even though Deputy Tower Master Nalan could face the strength gap between himself and Galaxy Star Master, he felt somewhat embarrassed to continue staying here.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan left.

Only Lin Yuan and Supreme Being Xia Qin were left in the arena once again.

"Supreme Powerhouse." Lin Yuan bowed slightly.

"You monster." Supreme Being Xia Qin shook his head slightly.

Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Time Rule was nothing much to him.

However, it depended on who it was on. On a Tier 11 life, it was considered a normal level; half of the Eleven-Tier Evolvers in Human Civilization had comprehended all Time Rule models.

On a Tier 10 life, it was extremely rare. At least Grade-A Tier 10s like Deputy Tower Master Nalan had never achieved it.

What about on a Tier 9 life? At least Supreme Being Xia Qin had never heard of it before, especially since Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Time Rule was not as simple as just comprehending all time models.

"Monster?"

Lin Yuan blinked his eyes. Being called a monster by a dignified Supreme Powerhouse could be considered a kind of 'honor'?

"Supreme Powerhouse, after you asked me to comprehend the Time Rule models and come over immediately, is there some secret hidden within?" Lin Yuan directly asked his doubt.

Facing a Supreme Powerhouse, there was no need to beat around the bush; he just asked whatever he wanted to know.

"There is indeed a secret." Supreme Being Xia Qin nodded.

If Lin Yuan had delayed in comprehending all the time models, or after comprehending them, was still very far away from thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule in terms of his comprehension,

Supreme Being Xia Qin wouldn't have said much.

But Lin Yuan's performance at this moment made Supreme Being Xia Qin see hope—

He saw the hope of Lin Yuan thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule at Tier 9.

"You should know that the earlier you thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule and make your own Internal World 'independent', the greater the benefits you will obtain."

Supreme Being Xia Qin said.

"Yes."

"I know this."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In the history of Human Civilization, there were occasionally abnormal prodigies who thoroughly comprehended the Time Rule at Tier 10.

That was why Lin Yuan learned that the benefits gained when thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule at Tier 10 and then advancing to Tier 11 were much greater than not doing so, and the Internal World would even undergo a transformation because of it.

As for thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule at Tier 9? There were no corresponding cases in the history of Human Civilization, but that didn't hinder Lin Yuan's speculation.

Thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule at Tier 10 could give the Internal World one more opportunity for transformation. Then, if he thoroughly comprehended the Time Rule at Tier 9, wouldn't he have two more opportunities for transformation when advancing to Tier 10 and Eleven-Tier in the future?

"Then do you know what the specific benefits are? Why does the Internal World undergo transformation?"

Supreme Being Xia Qin asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Lin Yuan shook his head.

He only knew there were benefits, but as for what those specific benefits were, he was unaware.

The information he viewed also didn't have specific records; it should involve certain unpublicized secrets of Human Civilization.

Even with Eighth Level Citizens clearance, he couldn't view everything completely.

"This brings us to the difference in whether the Internal World is 'independent' or not when a Tier 10 Evolver breaks through a major Realm to enter Eleven-Tier."

Supreme Being Xia Qin said this, paused for a moment, and continued:

"If a Tier 10 Evolver hasn't thoroughly comprehended the Time Rule and the Internal World lacks a time pillar, it can only attach itself to the Main Universe, which is considered a subsidiary world of the Main Universe."

"When a subsidiary world crosses a major Realm, it communicates with the Origin ocean of the Main Universe. At that time, the Main Universe will actively open the entrance of the Origin ocean and pour out a large amount of Origin power to help the Internal World grow rapidly."

"And if the Internal World is already 'independent', possessing both time pillars and space pillars, it can be regarded as an 'independent' world."

"Even if this 'independent' world is insignificant compared to the Main Universe, it is still an 'independent' world, theoretically on the same level as the Main Universe."

"Possessing separate time and space pillars."

"Therefore, when such 'independent' worlds cross a major Realm, what they receive is no longer the Origin of the Main Universe, but the Origin of the Chaos Void."

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan.

"So that's how it is." Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

The Chaos Void was definitely much more vast than the Universe, and the Origin of the Chaos Void was naturally much more precious than the Origin of the Universe.

If ranked from high to low, it would definitely be Chaos Void greater than Universe greater than Subsidiary World.

Once a subsidiary world achieved space-time independence, it would be on par with the Universe and jointly receive the gifts of the Chaos Void.

Normally speaking, most Experts wanted to receive the gifts of the Chaos Void, and could only do so when impacting the Ultimate Existence at Tier 11.

Because thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule was basically also at this level.

The gifts and transformations that could only be enjoyed when impacting Supreme Powerhouse were instead enjoyed at Tier 10. How huge would the help brought to oneself be?

What's more, if Lin Yuan thoroughly comprehended the Time Rule at Tier 9, he would enjoy the gifts from the Chaos Void right at Tier 9.

"The Origin infused by the Chaos Void will greatly stabilize the Internal World and enhance the essence of the Internal World, transforming it towards an internal Universe."

"Of course, even if you thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule and make the Internal World independent, when impacting Tier 11, due to your own Realm strength, you won't be able to transform the Internal World into an internal Universe all at once."

"However, with your Foundation deeply rooted here, in the future when breaking through to Ultimate, the difficulty that the Internal World needs to cross will definitely be much lower."

Supreme Being Xia Qin slowly said.

This was equivalent to dispersing the pressure of impacting Ultimate in the future to the present, increasing the possibility of stepping into Twelfth Order.

So far, Lin Yuan had only heard of two methods that could increase the probability of impacting Ultimate.

First, spreading one's own evolutionary pathway and path.

Second, comprehending the Chaos Rules.

As for the Fusion of the Time Rule and Space Rules? That was a prerequisite for impacting Ultimate.

Without achieving space-time Fusion, one couldn't even cross the threshold of impacting Ultimate.

"Supreme Being Xia Qin, actually I might not necessarily be able to thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule at Tier 9." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and still spoke out.

With Heaven-Defying Comprehension, coupled with treasures like the miniature Universe for enlightenment, Lin Yuan only had some confidence in thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule at Tier 9.

As for certainty? He didn't have much of it.

Lin Yuan had even prepared plans to thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule only at Tier 10.

One must know that the difficulty of thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule was even harder than stepping into Eleven-Tier.

Many Eleven-Tier Evolvers had not thoroughly comprehended the Time Rule.

If Lin Yuan wanted to thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule at Tier 9, he couldn't guarantee such a thing.

If he failed to do it, wouldn't it be slapping his own face?

"I know you are not sure of thoroughly comprehending it." Supreme Being Xia Qin didn't find it strange at all.

Unless it was those Innate Time Lifeforms, who dared to guarantee that they could definitely thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule?

"That's why I asked you to comprehend all the Time Rule models and then come find me. Besides seeing your general comprehension in terms of the Time Rule, it is also because I want to give you a push."

Supreme Being Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.

"Give me a push?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

Comprehending the Time Rule was an extremely personal matter.

Everyone's understanding of the Time Rule was different, and it could not be forcibly instilled.

Even miraculous objects like the miniature Universe could only be said to reduce the difficulty for Lin Yuan in comprehending the Time Rule.

As for giving a push? Lin Yuan had never thought about it in this direction.

Neither the many treasures and methods left behind by Moyu Tower Master nor Your Majesty Xuan Huang had ever mentioned the saying of giving someone a push to thoroughly comprehend the Time Rule.

"Yes."

"Next, I am going to take you to see—"

Supreme Being Xia Qin said in a calm tone, slowly speaking:

"The full picture of the Time River."
