Chapter 654: Lin Yuan’s Future timeline

Supreme Yin Celestial smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan.

In terms of strength, he was naturally inferior to the suddenly emerged Strongest Celestial Venerable before him.

But it was far from fear. So what if it was the Strongest Celestial Venerable? Did Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom not have one?

Furthermore, with the Profound Yin Ancestor around, would this Milky Way Heavenly Lord really dare to slaughter into the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom?

Now that there was finally a chance to heavily fleece him, Supreme Yin Celestial would naturally not give it up.

The conditions he proposed to Lin Yuan were much higher than those of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

After all, the latter currently refined and occupied the most core heavenly pillars. Even without the core heavenly pillars refined by the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, it still had a great chance of seizing this precious land in the end.

Therefore, toward Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, Profound Yin Celestial did not dare to open his mouth too wide, because the other party had room for choice.

But Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom?

Having lost the core heavenly pillars occupied by the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, no matter how strong Milky Way Heavenly Lord's strength was, being able to fight Celestial Venerable Fu Xu head-on…

It would also be meaningless. The number of core heavenly pillars occupied and refined by the three Ancient Kingdoms—Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom—added together exceeded half of the total quantity.

"Too much."

Lin Yuan said.

"Not much."

Supreme Yin Celestial did not yield an inch.

"At most, I can give you fifty percent of the output."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at Supreme Yin Celestial.

"Milky Way Heavenly Lord, this is the bottom line of my Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom."

Supreme Yin Celestial had accurately grasped his current importance and said with a smile.

"I will consider it."

Lin Yuan did not directly refuse, leaving some leeway.

"Alright."

Supreme Yin Celestial was also unwilling to push Lin Yuan too hard; after all, if there was a choice, trading with Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom would definitely be more beneficial to him.

"However, more than half of the time for contending for the precious land has passed. I hope Milky Way Heavenly Lord will make a decision as soon as possible. The conditions offered by Da Fu Ancient Kingdom are not low."

After saying that, Supreme Yin Celestial directly dispersed his descended Incarnation.

After Supreme Yin Celestial disappeared,

Chiyan Celestial walked out.

"That fellow Supreme Yin is simply taking advantage of a fire to loot!"

Chiyan Celestial frowned tightly. Not to mention eighty percent of the rare treasures produced by this precious land in one hundred trillion years, plus two first-grade precious lands?

How many first-grade precious lands did Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom occupy in total? To just give away two for the sake of thirty-some core heavenly pillars?

"There's no other way."

Lin Yuan was equally dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that the more this was the case, the less he could completely offend Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Doing so would only push the other party completely toward Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, if he went all out, he might be stronger than Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, but he still could not form an overwhelming suppression. Moreover, there were other Ancient Kingdoms eyeing them covetously.

Such as Barbaric Ancient Kingdom, Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom, etc. Although they did not have a Strongest Celestial Venerable presiding over them, the foundational divine weapons brought out from within the Ancient Kingdoms could completely contend against the Strongest Celestial Venerable to a certain extent.

"Milky Way, what do you plan to do?"

Chiyan Celestial looked at Lin Yuan. Even though he was currently angered by Supreme Yin Celestial's behavior of taking advantage of a crisis, from a rational perspective, he could only agree to the other party's conditions and requirements.

At least this way there would be a chance to contend with Da Fu Ancient Kingdom for this precious land.

"Drag it out first."

Lin Yuan said.

"Drag it out?"

Chiyan Celestial immediately understood Lin Yuan's meaning.

See how the situation develops next before making a final decision.

After all, what was involved was not just the current precious land; Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom would also have to risk two other first-grade precious lands.

Even if Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom did not specify which two first-grade precious lands, even the worst first-grade precious land produced rare treasures that were incomparably precious.

In fact,

Chiyan Celestial still thought too little.

What Lin Yuan meant by 'dragging it out first' was not just wanting to see how the subsequent situation would develop, but more importantly, to try and see if he could break through once more within the subsequent millennium.

Currently, there were only three Breakthroughs that Lin Yuan valued.

First was cultivating the third layer of Infinite Void.

Second was reaching the second level of the Chaotic Yin Yang Taiji Path.

Third was stepping into the Chaos Realm.

No matter which of these three Breakthroughs it was, it could cause Lin Yuan's strength to undergo a qualitative leap and surge.

"Supreme Yin, how is the trade going?"

On the side of Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, Earth Yin Celestial Venerable looked at Supreme Yin Celestial and asked.

"There is no problem on the side of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, but Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom… Milky Way Heavenly Lord said he wants to consider it,"

Supreme Yin Celestial said.

"Normal. If it were me, I would also consider it."

Earth Yin Celestial Venerable did not feel any surprise at all.

Regarding the trade conditions with the two great Ancient Kingdoms, they were also very clear. Concessions could be made for the trade with Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, but toward Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom? Absolutely no concessions would be made.

Who told Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom to consider itself as having secured Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom and Milky Way Heavenly Lord?

"But no matter how much they consider it, as long as Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom has ideas about this precious land, it can only agree to us,"

Earth Yin Celestial Venerable said with a smile.

"Not bad."

"Actually, the sudden emergence of Milky Way Heavenly Lord is a good thing for our Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom."

Supreme Yin Celestial also smiled.

If there were no Milky Way Heavenly Lord, Da Fu Ancient Kingdom would dominate alone. Even if the other Ancient Kingdoms joined forces, the hope of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom finally seizing this precious land would still be very great.

Under this circumstance, Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom could not ask for much price at all.

Except for Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, the other Ancient Kingdoms would simply not 'buy'.

But now with Milky Way Heavenly Lord, it caused Da Fu Ancient Kingdom to develop a sense of crisis, which was why it so readily agreed to the demands raised by Supreme Yin Celestial.

Between Milky Way Heavenly Lord and Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, these two snipes and clams fighting, no matter who loses or wins, the one who ultimately profits will definitely be Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Chaos Void, deep inside the Milky Way Chaos Continent.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a palm-sized small cauldron floating in front of him.

It was precisely the Thirteen level weapon, Heavenly Void Cauldron.

The Dao rules contained within the cauldron operated, and every time Lin Yuan comprehended them, he had different feelings.

"A Thirteen level weapon."

Lin Yuan looked at the slowly rotating and floating Heavenly Void Cauldron. Even in the Six Ancient Kingdoms of the Origin World, wanting to exchange for a Thirteen level weapon would require a hundred billion contributions.

And the exchanged Thirteen level weapon could only be comprehended for ten thousand years, and had to be returned after ten thousand years.

"This cauldron…"

Lin Yuan observed the floating small cauldron, faintly looking toward the deepest part. The Foundation running through this Thirteen level weapon was not many rules, but tiny timelines.

"timeline?"

Lin Yuan's heart shook, faintly realizing that perhaps he was truly touching the Domain of the Thirteen Step Time Life.

"Future."

By observing the timeline of this small cauldron, Lin Yuan faintly saw blurry pictures.

I saw that under a desolate starry sky, a young man raised his hand, his gaze indifferent, urging the Heavenly Void Cauldron to blast toward an unknown special place.

Under the terrifying might of the Heavenly Void Cauldron, that special place shattered inch by inch. The 'spirit' of the special place was laughing maniacally, saying the words 'The great Time Lifeform will help me avenge myself', and then was completely obliterated.

After destroying a special place, the expression of that young man changed slightly as he looked in a certain direction.

Most areas in the vision were very blurry, and Lin Yuan could only determine that the young man should have perceived something.

In the end, the young man actively obliterated his Physical Body and Soul, not even wanting the Heavenly Void Cauldron, and completely disappeared into the Void Realm.

The vision ended.

Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.

There was no doubt.

What the vision showed should be the future.

As for the young man urging the Heavenly Void Cauldron in the vision, it was precisely Lin Yuan.

As for why his future self would desperately urge the Heavenly Void Cauldron and completely destroy a special place, Lin Yuan did not quite understand.

The special places in the Chaos Void were basically all related to the Thirteen Step Time Life. Completely destroying a special place would definitely provoke the Time Lifeform behind it.

At the end of the vision, the young man actively obliterated his Physical Body and Soul, which was probably because a Time Lifeform had descended.

Lin Yuan was not sure how many years in the future his self in the vision was, but according to his growth rate, even if it was just tens of thousands of years later, the strength would be so powerful that it definitely stood at the peak below the Thirteenth Order. The so-called Invincible Great Saint and Strongest Celestial Venerable should pose no threat in front of his self from tens of thousands of years later.

Under this circumstance, still choosing to actively obliterate everything could only be the threat of a Time Lifeform.

Lin Yuan knew his own affairs best. Obliterating the Physical Body, Soul, and mental will in the Chaos Void was not a complete death for him; it was nothing more than losing a retreat, and his self over at the Origin World would still live just fine.

"Given my personality, I shouldn't be so impulsive as to not only forcibly urge the Heavenly Void Cauldron, but also completely destroy a special place related to a Thirteen Step Time Life?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Urging the Heavenly Void Cauldron would attract the gaze of this Thirteen level weapon's owner, and destroying a special place would thoroughly offend a certain Thirteen Step Time Life.

Such a consequence and price were not something Lin Yuan could afford to bear, unless he had already become a Time Lifeform. But actively obliterating his Physical Body, Soul, and everything at that time meant that Lin Yuan was still not a match for the Thirteenth Order.

"Could it be that some huge enmity was forged?"

"Human Civilization?"

According to Lin Yuan's speculation, he was all alone with no close friends, and the only possibility of forging a huge enmity was Human Civilization.

His future self, at the cost of abandoning all Foundations in the Chaos Void, still wanted to completely destroy that special place. The hatred between the two was clearly irreconcilable.

Perhaps it was not just hatred, but rather that the spirit of that special place knew some secret of his, which caused his future self to make a move?

Various possibilities constantly emerged in Lin Yuan's mind.

"Unfortunately, I am not yet a Time Lifeform. Even if I observe fragmented visions of the future, it is still very difficult to deduce specific information."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The information revealed in the vision at present was simply too little. Most areas were incomparably blurry, and even the special place he destroyed was incomparably blurry. He could only faintly see the presence of spirits from several other major special places in the distance.

If he were a true Time Lifeform, he would be able to carefully observe all the details of this future timeline, know the cause and effect, and finally figure out a response method, or choose whether or not to follow this timeline.

The struggles between Thirteen Step Time Lifeforms mainly depended on how many timelines could be observed. The stronger the Thirteen Step Time Lifeform, the more and farther future timelines it could see, and the greater its advantage during struggles at the same level.

For example, at certain critical nodes in the future, two Thirteen Step lifeforms suddenly began to fight and kill each other, making a move without any warning or any hatred.

It was estimated that the futures desired by these two Time Lifeforms conflicted, and they fought and corrected each other, wanting to pull the future toward the direction they desired.

Lin Yuan wanted to continue observing the future timeline through the Heavenly Void Cauldron, but he found that a certain pain suddenly arose in his Soul, and he immediately stopped observing.

The future timeline belonged to the Domain of the Thirteenth Order. Lin Yuan barely touched it with the help of the Heavenly Void Cauldron, but there were also huge restrictions, and he could not observe it continuously.

"Forget it."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts.

The past was set, the future was uncertain.

At every instant, countless futures would be generated. Even a Thirteen Step Time Lifeform could not observe all future timelines.

Perhaps the vision of the future Lin Yuan saw just now would not happen at all, and was just a minuscule possible trajectory?

"No matter what, I will keep a low profile as much as possible next, restrain Human Civilization, and not get involved with those special places."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although even if he gave up everything in this Chaos Void, it would not produce some irreversible impact on himself, the losses would definitely be heavy.

Naturally, it was best not to give it up.

In the plan formulated by Lin Yuan, before stepping into the Thirteenth Order, he certainly would not make too big of a commotion.

Origin World.

Inside the precious land.

As time passed,

Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable of Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom also approached Lin Yuan, wanting to trade with Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom using the forty-five precious lands occupied and refined by his own family.

Compared to Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, the demand made by Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom was even more excessive: directly taking over the ownership of this precious land for one hundred trillion years.

In other words, even if Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom finally seized this precious land, within the next one hundred trillion years, the precious land would have nothing to do with Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, and all rare treasures produced would belong to Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

"Milky Way Heavenly Lord, the core heavenly pillars occupied and refined by my Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom reach as many as forty-five. Once you obtain them, you will surpass Da Fu Ancient Kingdom in one fell swoop."

Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable said.

So far, the ones most likely to seize this precious land were Da Fu Ancient Kingdom and Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, followed by Barbaric Ancient Kingdom.

As for the remaining three Ancient Kingdoms, there was basically no hope.

"I will consider it."

Lin Yuan did not directly refuse.

"Alright."

Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable nodded. If Lin Yuan had agreed instantly, he would have felt uneasy instead.

After Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable left,

Chiyan Celestial looked at Lin Yuan and said: "Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom and Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom have both approached us, but that Thunder Ancient Kingdom has never come. It's estimated that it has completely leaned toward Da Fu Ancient Kingdom."

Chiyan Celestial's expression was heavy.

The core heavenly pillars occupied and refined by Thunder Ancient Kingdom also numbered thirty-eight, all falling to Da Fu Ancient Kingdom. This was equivalent to the number of core heavenly pillars occupied by the latter exceeding one hundred.

"It doesn't matter."

"Wait a little longer."

Lin Yuan's tone was calm.

Time continued to flow.

Just on this day, a strange fluctuation swept across every corner of the precious land once again.

The Peak Heavenly Venerables of all the Ancient Kingdoms simultaneously looked toward the source of the fluctuation——
