Chapter 666 Peeking into the Future

Lin Yuan stood before Fiery Sun First Ancestor, acting extremely well-behaved.

This was the first Time Lifeform he had ever faced. Although the Thirteenth Order Legacy 《 Infinite Void 》 and the Thirteenth level weapon Heavenly Void Cauldron obtained in the Chaos Void were also related to Time Lifeforms,

the Thirteenth Order entities behind them had never paid attention to him, let alone communicated face-to-face directly.

"It is said that every Peak Heavenly Venerable who exchanges for a chance to possess an ancestor will receive more or less guidance upon meeting the ancestor. As a Time Lifeform, the ancestor can observe various futures, and the ancestor's guidance is all based on the Peak Heavenly Venerable's own future."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, also yearning to receive guidance from a Time Lifeform.

After all, this kind of guidance that saw the precise future was completely a form of trial and error.

Previously in the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan had comprehended the Heavenly Void Cauldron and, through the power of this Thirteenth level weapon, had seen a few glimpses of his own future.

However, these images were fragmented, the information contained within them was extremely incomplete, and the future timelines involved were perhaps futures of some minuscule possibility.

They did not hold much reference significance.

On the other hand, the futures observed by the Thirteenth Order ancestors were extremely detailed. They could even determine multiple possibilities by viewing various future timelines.

Lin Yuan was not worried that the Gate of Myriad Realms would be exposed.

When stepping into the Twelfth Order, the information gushing forth from the depths of the Gate of Myriad Realms — —

explicitly stated that the Gate of Myriad Realms transcended all timelines and did not exist in the past, present, or future.

Unless Lin Yuan actively urged the Gate of Myriad Realms, leaving its aura lingering in a certain dimension, it would be impossible for the Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform of that dimension to detect it.

Otherwise, there was absolutely no possibility of exposure.

Since descending into this Origin World, Lin Yuan had never actively urged the Gate of Myriad Realms, nor had he ever used the Boundary-Breaking Source Power.

"I wonder what my future looks like in the eyes of the ancestor, and what the probability of stepping into the Thirteenth Order is."

Lin Yuan thought to himself secretly. Theoretically speaking, every Twelfth Order Perfection living being had the hope of stepping into the Thirteenth Order, but theory was ultimately just theory.

For some Twelfth Order Perfection living beings, out of millions or tens of millions of future timelines, there was only a single one that managed to luckily step into the Thirteenth Order. This was the probability of stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

In fact, a probability where one out of a million or ten million timelines managed to step into the Thirteenth Order level was already considered high.

For even more Twelfth Order Perfection living beings, not even a single timeline capable of stepping into the Thirteenth Order could appear across trillions upon trillions of timelines.

Compared to Lin Yuan waiting quietly,

Fiery Sun First Ancestor, who was observing the various future timelines, grew increasingly astonished in his gaze.

"These futures?"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor could not believe it. "I have watched dozens more timelines. Although every timeline is different, in the end, this little fellow has stepped into the Thirteenth Order!"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor was somewhat dumbfounded. Other Twelfth Order Perfection living beings needed to painstakingly search through hundreds of millions of future timelines just to find a single timeline that stepped into the Thirteenth Order.

But Lin Yuan was something else—the dozens of timelines that Fiery Sun First Ancestor observed at random all ended with him stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

This kind of future was simply too terrifying. Even though Fiery Sun First Ancestor had not yet observed all of Lin Yuan's future timelines, judging purely from the results of these dozens of timelines, Lin Yuan had a high probability of being able to step into the Thirteenth Order.

Stepping into the Thirteenth Order?

High probability?

Fiery Sun First Ancestor fell into silence.

"I founded an Ancient Kingdom, left behind numerous Legacy secret techniques, and poured all my efforts into nurturing my descendants. Over endless years, I have never nurtured a single Thirteenth Order [being]."

Fiery Sun First Ancestor's thoughts spread out. It was not just the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom; the other five Ancient Kingdoms were all the same.

In the end, the Six Ancestors came to a conclusion: Thirteenth Order Time Lifeforms could not be nurtured.

With the ability of the ancestors, they could nurture Experts at the level of the Strongest Celestial Venerable, but the Thirteenth Order? That depended on luck.

The Da Fu Ancient Kingdom did indeed give birth to two ancestor-level entities, but their relationship with the Great Fush Ancestor was not very close. Before stepping into the Thirteenth Order, the status of those two ancestors within the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was not considered very high.

Even the Great Fush Ancestor himself did not pay too much attention to them.

The descendants valued by the Great Fush Ancestor were now trapped within the time loop, yet the ones he paid little attention to became ancestors.

"However, he—"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan, not knowing what to say.

By watching dozens of future timelines, Fiery Sun First Ancestor concluded that Lin Yuan becoming a Thirteenth Order was almost a certainty. Regardless of whether he joined the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom's imperial family, in the future he would become an ancestor-level entity of the same tier as him.

"Furthermore."

Fiery Sun First Ancestor steadied his mind and began trying to look toward other timelines.

At every moment, different timelines extended outward, representing countless possibilities.

And the timelines Fiery Sun First Ancestor was looking at now were timelines where he himself tried to take action to stop and strangle Lin Yuan.

Fiery Sun First Ancestor did not harbor such thoughts. No matter what, Lin Yuan was still of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom's imperial family, and when he became an ancestor in the future, his relationship with him would certainly be relatively close.

Not only would Fiery Sun First Ancestor not hinder Lin Yuan's growth, but he would also help Lin Yuan as much as possible so that he could smoothly step into the Thirteenth Order.

But Fiery Sun First Ancestor was simply too curious about Lin Yuan. This future of almost certainly stepping into the Thirteenth Order prompted Fiery Sun First Ancestor to make more attempts.

The timelines rapidly extended—these were all futures where Fiery Sun First Ancestor took action to strangle Lin Yuan.

"This is…"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor's expression changed slightly.

Looking at this type of future timeline, at the very beginning, he did indeed smoothly strangle this Milky Way Heavenly Lord. With a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform making a move, the opponent did not have the slightest ability to resist.

But merely hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of years later, the Milky Way Heavenly Lord would 'come back from the dead' and appear once again within the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

The reappearing Milky Way Heavenly Lord was already a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform, having stepped into the Domain of the Six Ancestors.

"Unable to stop him from stepping into the Thirteenth Order? Even I cannot do it by personally taking action to strangle him? The opponent will return through some means? And by the time he returns again, he has already stepped into the Thirteenth Order?"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor took a deep breath, his scalp feeling somewhat numb.

Up to this point, from the more than a hundred future timelines he had watched,

Lin Yuan stepping into the Thirteenth Order was almost already an inevitability.

Furthermore, no one could stop it. Even if Fiery Sun First Ancestor personally took action to strangle him, he could not block the other party from stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

It was merely a matter of time sooner or later. If Fiery Sun First Ancestor took action, the time it took for the Milky Way Heavenly Lord to step into the Thirteenth Order would be delayed by millions or tens of millions of years, and that was all.

"Without any accidents, my Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom is about to give birth to a Time Lifeform."

A smile appeared on Fiery Sun First Ancestor's face. Although Lin Yuan's near-absolute future made him feel incredulous, this was a good thing for him.

Currently, among the Six Ancestors of this Origin World, harmony did not always prevail; there were occasional struggles involving conflicts over future layouts.

"Milky Way." Fiery Sun First Ancestor sat cross-legged there, looking at this young Milky Way Heavenly Lord with a smile.

After seeing through Lin Yuan's numerous future timelines, Fiery Sun First Ancestor basically regarded him as an expert of the same tier, without the slightest aloofness of being an ancestor.

Especially since Fiery Sun First Ancestor discovered that he simply could not strangle Lin Yuan, it was even less possible for him to put on any airs.

"Perfectly fusing two Thirteenth Order methods, and one of them is even a Void Thirteenth Order that has never appeared in this heaven and earth? Milky Way, your talent is the highest among all living beings I have ever seen." Fiery Sun First Ancestor said with a smile, not stingy with his praise: "From my perspective, Milky Way, you will soon become the seventh ancestor of this heaven and earth. Have you thought of the national title for founding an Ancient Kingdom?"

"The national title for founding an Ancient Kingdom?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

He never expected that Fiery Sun First Ancestor's first sentence would be this.

Lin Yuan was not surprised that Fiery Sun First Ancestor saw that he had cultivated the 《 Infinite Void 》 Legacy. To Time Lifeforms, there were basically no secrets below the Thirteenth Order.

Lin Yuan had even thought of the explanation for why he obtained the 《 Infinite Void 》 Legacy.

As a result, Fiery Sun First Ancestor didn't ask about these things at all.

"Ancestor." Lin Yuan immediately said, "Founding an Ancient Kingdom is too far away for me."

"Correct." Fiery Sun First Ancestor nodded. "Your most urgent task right now is to step into the Thirteenth Order as soon as possible and transform into a Time Lifeform."

"I also want to step into the Thirteenth Order, but I have little confidence in breaking through the time loop." Lin Yuan said truthfully.

Whether in the Chaos Void or this Origin World, countless brilliantly talented Twelfth Order Perfection living beings were trapped within the time loop.

Even though Lin Yuan had made various layouts for himself to step into the Thirteenth Order, such as spreading the branches of Martial Dao Evolution and so on, he still lacked too much confidence.

In fact, this was also normal. Before breaking through to the Thirteenth Order, no living being had absolute confidence in breaking through.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about these." Fiery Sun First Ancestor thought for a moment and looked at Lin Yuan, saying, "Just keep a calm state of mind."

"Mn."

Lin Yuan nodded.

The trials presented by the time loop were things he had never encountered before. No matter how much he worried, it would be of no use; rather, maintaining a calm state of mind was most appropriate.

"Ancestor, the Legacy I cultivated—" Lin Yuan wanted to explain the origin of 《 Infinite Void 》.

"It doesn't matter."

Fiery Sun First Ancestor shook his head and said, "This is your secret; you don't need to explain it to me."

Finishing his words, Fiery Sun First Ancestor continued, "Actually, once you reach the Thirteenth Order level, so-called secrets are nothing at all. At the very beginning of the creation of this heaven and earth, the first living being born was named 'Abyssal Dragon'."

"His talent was truly terrifying. Every single particle on his body contained a vast world, and a casual strike was enough to sweep across all Experts of that time. But in the end, wasn't he easily suppressed and killed by Great Fush?"

Fiery Sun First Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan.

"Abyssal Dragon."

Lin Yuan thought of the dragon abyss blood he had just obtained.

From this rare treasure, he faintly sensed the terror of that primal living being, 'Abyssal Dragon', but now listening to Fiery Sun First Ancestor's description, was the Abyssal Dragon's terror even higher than his own estimation?

At least judging by Fiery Sun First Ancestor's implication, wasn't his current strength—his internal Universe plus the Chaotic Taiji Path—no stronger than that Abyssal Dragon?

"Of course, compared to you, Milky Way, the Abyssal Dragon's talent is nothing much."

Fiery Sun First Ancestor said.

For Great Venerables and Celestial Venerables, so-called talent was Bloodline, secret techniques, numerous Divine Abilities, and so on.

But for Time Lifeforms like the ancestors, truly powerful and unbeatable talent was the possibility of stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

And in this aspect, who could compare to Lin Yuan?

"That's right, are you planning to perform a possession this time?" Fiery Sun First Ancestor seemed to recall something and asked with a smile.

Ever since seeing Lin Yuan, he had been in a state of shock and had unexpectedly overlooked this matter for a moment.

"Correct."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He had come over this time precisely to possess an ancestor and experience the perspective of a Time Lifeform.

To increase his foundation accumulation for stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

"You probably don't plan to break through to the Thirteenth Order in the near future?" Fiery Sun First Ancestor pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan said.

In Lin Yuan's plan, he would only consider charging toward the Thirteenth Order after his branches of Martial Dao Evolution were thoroughly spread across the Six Ancient Kingdoms of this Origin World.

This was still under the fastest circumstances; perhaps Lin Yuan would wait a bit longer, explore the remaining Origin Worlds more, and see how things go.

Charging toward the Thirteenth Order was no small matter. He only had two possibilities: success or falling into the time loop. Under the premise of not knowing whether the Gate of Myriad Realms could resist the time loop,

Lin Yuan naturally wanted to prepare as thoroughly as possible.

"I will give you a suggestion." Fiery Sun First Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan. "Of course, it's just a suggestion."

"Please speak, Ancestor." Lin Yuan immediately responded, his expression solemn.

A suggestion that Fiery Sun First Ancestor could state personally was naturally something Lin Yuan would listen to respectfully.

"With your foundation accumulation, you don't need to perform a possession so quickly. Just come over to perform a possession right before charging toward the Thirteenth Order." Fiery Sun First Ancestor said.

Many Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom had exchanged for multiple possession opportunities, but Lin Yuan was different from them. Possessing early or performing possessions multiple times would instead produce an impact on him.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Although he did not know why Fiery Sun First Ancestor gave such a suggestion, there must be a specific reason; Lin Yuan just needed to follow along.

"It's just that, Ancestor, the hundred billion contributions I exchanged…" Lin Yuan couldn't help asking.

Before coming here, he had used a hundred billion contributions to exchange for it.

"A hundred billion contributions?" Fiery Sun First Ancestor grinned and said, "When you go back, you can freely choose any number of Legacy guides in the treasury without needing to expend contributions."

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Originally, he was still agonizing over which two of those six supreme Legacies to choose. After all, out of the three hundred billion contributions, excluding the one hundred billion for the possession, the remainder could at most exchange for two.

But now with the ancestor's words, the entire Ancient Kingdom treasury was basically at Lin Yuan's disposal to take as he pleased.

"Ancestor. I wonder what the probability of my future stepping into the Thirteenth Order is?" Before leaving, Lin Yuan still asked this question.

As a Time Lifeform capable of observing future timelines, the ancestor should have an idea in mind about whether Lin Yuan could step into the Thirteenth Order.

"The probability of stepping into the Thirteenth Order."

Fiery Sun First Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan. This was a question almost every Peak Heavenly Venerable who came over for possession would ask.

And Fiery Sun First Ancestor's replies to this were mainly based on encouragement and exhortation. After all, the chances of those Peak Heavenly Venerables stepping into the Thirteenth Order were indeed extremely minuscule. At the very least, if Fiery Sun First Ancestor wanted to find that timeline stepping into the Thirteenth Order, he would have to slowly finish watching trillions upon trillions of timelines to possibly do so.

Yet facing Lin Yuan's question,

after a brief contemplation, Fiery Sun First Ancestor said, "Very high."
