Chapter 709: The Other Side of Light

"Before the fourteen Eternal Lords disappeared, what else did they say to you?"

Lin Yuan looked at the several Sect Masters and asked casually.

According to the information and intelligence he currently understood, this Origin World, counting the Lord of Heavenly Light, had a total of fourteen Eternal Lords.

Which meant fourteen Time Lifeforms.

Compared to the Six Ancestors of the First Source World.

The Second Source World was obviously a large margin stronger.

However, this was also because the years experienced by the First Source World were far less than those of the Second Source World.

As time passed in the First Source World, more Time Lifeforms would also be born.

"Nothing, they only left behind many countermeasures for various future situations."

The Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect said.

The other several Sect Masters also nodded.

In fact, they had only had a final brief communication with six Eternal Lords, and these six Eternal Lords were the founders of the six Eternal Sects.

As for the other Eternal Lords? They all acted alone and were not something they could come into contact with.

"Mn."

Lin Yuan did not ask any further.

Obviously, what these Sect Masters knew was not as much as the Golden Figure in the trial space.

In fact, this was also understandable; under the shroud of the Demon Disaster, without the battle prowess of an Eternal Lord, knowing how much didn't hold much meaning.

"Next, I will leave an Incarnation here. If the Demon Gods continue to appear, I will step in to stop them."

Lin Yuan said.

Since he had promised to protect the Hidden World.

Naturally, he would see a good deed through to the end.

Of course.

Lin Yuan deduced that the Demon Gods would not continue to appear either.

After realizing they could do nothing to Lin Yuan, the Demon Gods' current full instinctive energy was placed on suppressing the World Consciousness.

As for inside the Origin World?

As long as the World Consciousness was completely suppressed, the Demon Gods could replace the World Consciousness.

By then, their strength would be massively enhanced.

However.

This day was estimated to be incomparably distant.

If they could suppress the World Consciousness this quickly.

The Demon Gods wouldn't have been in such a rush to make a move against the Hidden World in the first place.

"Thank you, Milky Way Lord." The expressions of the several Sect Masters were filled with gratitude.

Lin Yuan's guarantee was tantamount to leaving them with no further worries.

Lin Yuan's true body left the Hidden World.

Walking casually everywhere across heaven and earth.

Endless Devilish Qi would rapidly retreat once it approached within ten thousand miles of Lin Yuan.

"Still watching me?"

Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the Demon God's gaze upon him.

"Demon God."

Lin Yuan wore a pensive expression.

Although he had fought frontally with the Demon God and even forced the Demon God to proactively back down.

Lin Yuan did not have any smug emotions.

Fighting with the Demon God did not mean Lin Yuan could fight with other Time Lifeforms.

Time Lifeforms observed numerous timelines in the future and would simply not give Lin Yuan a chance to fight them head-on.

As for the Demon God?

Its power and lethal force rivaled true Time Lifeforms.

But having only strength and being unable to observe timelines meant any Time Lifeform could scheme and plot it to death.

The most terrifying aspect of Time Lifeforms lay in foresight, in their ability to actively choose the future they wanted.

"However."

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn.

Engaging in close combat with the Demon God, he clearly perceived the Demon God's terrifying nature.

Mainly the terror of the Demon God's Physical Body.

From beginning to end, the Demon God did not display any secret techniques or Divine Abilities, merely fighting Lin Yuan with Physical Body instinct.

Even so, it possessed the frontal combat prowess of a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform.

One could imagine.

Once the Demon God could urge and operate secret techniques, unleashing its own strength a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or ten thousandfold.

Even if Lin Yuan completely opened up the infinite Ganges sand particle worlds, he would still far from possibly be the Demon God's opponent.

"Without using secret techniques, without using mental will secret arts, relying merely on Physical Body instinct, it has such strength?" Lin Yuan found it somewhat hard to believe.

The Martial Dao Evolution path was inherently adept at the Physical Body and Physique, but compared to the Demon God's Physical Body, it definitely couldn't compare.

"If the Demon God is also a Time Lifeform that lost its mental will due to some reason, causing its Physical Body to act on instinct, then how strong would it be at its peak?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted.

"However, it has nothing to do with me."

"Now that the infinite Ganges sand particle worlds have been completely opened up, proving that this secret technique can work, the other two true bodies can indeed try to Cultivate it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The reason why he hadn't let the two true bodies in the Chaos Void and the First Source World try to open up their own particle worlds all along.

Was because this secret technique consumed far too many resources; what if halfway through the opening or right before finishing, he discovered that the path couldn't work?

Then wouldn't the previous investments go down the drain?

But now.

Lin Yuan of this Origin World had already proven the feasibility of completely opening up particle worlds, so the other two true bodies could naturally follow suit.

Chaos Void.

Lin Yuan's true body drifted along the Chaos Qi.

Just at this moment.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"Open up particle worlds."

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and particle worlds within his body began to be opened up.

Over the past ten thousand years, Lin Yuan had roamed all parts of the Chaos Void, collecting a practically massive amount of resources.

Secret Realms that many Great Saints could not discover, as well as Acquired Universes opened up by successive Peerless Great Saints in history, Legacy heavens left behind, and so on, were all thoroughly looted by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan even went to the dimensional gaps several times for this, collecting many precious resources outside of the Chaos Void.

Preparing to open up his own particle worlds.

The Chaos Void was not the Second Source World; it had not yet been eroded by Devilish Qi, and numerous resource Secret Realms were continuously born from which resources could be collected.

After so many years, plus taking some from the 'spirits' of those special places, it was barely enough.

First Source World.

Lin Yuan also began to open up his own particle worlds.

Compared to the Chaos Void where he needed to find resources himself, the way for the true body of this Origin World to acquire resources was much simpler.

Sitting atop the top-tier first-class Gold Mist Treasure Land, Lin Yuan only needed to sell the rare treasures produced by the treasure land to continuously harvest various resources.

The rare golden mist produced by the Gold Mist Treasure Land could allow a lifeform's Physique to transform toward a time-aspect Physique, and after the transformation was finally complete, it would gain the means to briefly foresee the future.

Although it was far from being able to directly peep into the future like a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform.

But for those Celestial Reverends and Peak Heavenly Venerables, it was obviously an incomparably desired ability.

It was precisely through this attraction that the Celestial Reverends and Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms expended most of their own accumulations just to exchange for some golden mist from Lin Yuan's side.

And to speed up the collection of resources, Lin Yuan even 'presold' the rare golden mist produced by the Gold Mist Treasure Land for the next ten trillion eons all at once.

'Preselling' treasure land rarities carried great risks for other Celestial Reverends, but the reputation of the Milky Way Heavenly Lord was naturally trustworthy.

Precisely because of this, Lin Yuan directly 'presold' the golden mist produced by the treasure land in the coming ten trillion eons.

Anyway, Lin Yuan was on the verge of stepping into the Thirteenth Order, and had little interest in this ability to foresee future fragments; using it to exchange for resources to open up particle worlds was also very cost-effective.

Relying precisely on this method, Lin Yuan quickly and easily collected all the resources for opening up his own particle worlds.

Second Source World.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a hill.

"The eighth Physical Body Divine Ability." Lin Yuan carefully sensed the intertwining of the many root powers deep within his Bloodline.

The gestation time for the eighth Physical Body Divine Ability exceeded the total gestation time of the previous seven Physical Body Divine Abilities, requiring over ten thousand years.

At this moment, the gestation of Lin Yuan's eighth Physical Body Divine Ability was already nearing its end, and it would be able to be gestated in as short as a hundred years or as long as several thousand years.

"Ten thousand years of gestation, I wonder what kind of might this Physical Body Divine Ability truly holds?"

In this Origin World, ever since the drastic change in heaven and earth, the Physical Body potential of all lifeforms had become incomparably terrifying.

This was also the main reason why Lin Yuan spent over ten thousand years gestating the Physical Body Divine Ability.

The Bloodline Foundation of life had undergone changes.

And the ability of the Martial Dao Evolution path to gestate Physical Body Divine Abilities could lock onto this change and form a Divine Ability.

"Continue to comprehend."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts, no longer paying attention to the root powers deep within his Bloodline.

Instead, he continued to comprehend the Legacy left behind by the Lord of Heavenly Light that helped break through the time loop.

After ten thousand years of comprehension, even if he only split a small portion of his mind to comprehend it, Lin Yuan had cultivated this Legacy to the fifth level.

He was only a fraction away from completely comprehending the fifth level.

Book Legacy space.

Lin Yuan continued to listen.

Beneath the firmament, the figure of the Lord of Heavenly Light was towering, emitting infinite light that was warm and comfortable, making Lin Yuan feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

"The fifth level of this Legacy lies in the heart and the thought. Wherever the mind's thought reaches, it is a rune, without needing to borrow external objects."

The Lord of Heavenly Light's face was calm with a smile, looking at Lin Yuan with a beaming smile as he explained every detail of the fifth level.

His eyes were gentle, carrying kindness, and held an unusual compassion for all living beings.

"What is the fundamental root of life? Physical Body? Soul? Neither. It is the mind. Only with a mind can one be considered a complete life, and cultivating this Legacy to the fifth level means taking the mind's thoughts as the Foundation to form runes."

The Lord of Heavenly Light smiled and said: "The so-called time loop is a test for life, a test for life transforming toward a Time Lifeform. Since what is tested is life, there will inevitably exist thoughts of the mind, and thus The Dao of Runes cannot be completely sealed, because as long as the mind's thoughts are present, the runes are present."

Lin Yuan listened attentively.

As he continuously comprehended what the Lord of Heavenly Light said and formed runes with his own mind's thoughts in this book space.

The Lord of Heavenly Light beneath the firmament continued to narrate.

This was also the special aspect of this Legacy; only by thoroughly comprehending the current part could one listen to the subsequent content.

Soon.

Lin Yuan had already comprehended to the very end.

Beneath the firmament, the Lord of Heavenly Light, who was blooming with infinite light, paused his tone slightly for a moment.

"Later-generation practitioner, since you can hear up to here, you must be about to completely comprehend this Legacy created by me."

The Lord of Heavenly Light's gaze remained gentle and unhurried as he said with a beaming smile: "Next, what I am going to narrate is my application of runes."

"What are runes?"

"They are everything. The path I walk is based on runes as the Foundation, and it has a total of two sides."

The Lord of Heavenly Light's gaze was gentle as he looked at Lin Yuan and continued: "One side is the me of the present, while the other side."

As the Lord of Heavenly Light spoke, his aura began to slowly change; the gentle light that shone upon everything vanished, replaced by boundless profound Devilish Qi.

The Lord of Heavenly Light's own appearance also underwent changes; the white robe turned into a black robe, the black robe seemingly containing endless darkness, and the gentle smile gradually disappeared, his expression turning incomparably indifferent.

A single black horn grew out, and behind him, a thick pitch-black giant tail swayed.

Lin Yuan looked at the utterly different 'Lord of Heavenly Light', his expression turning somewhat chilly.
