Chapter 751 Exploration

"Tianhe surges endlessly, without beginning or end."

In the Heavenly River Dimension, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, using the tianhe heart to observe the operation of the dimensional Origin Dao.

Compared to the stable Chaos Void Dimension, the Heavenly River Dimension was much more inclusive.

It did not even reject foreign Time Lifeforms.

While there were certainly other factors involved, it was also related to the Heavenly River Dimension itself.

The inclusiveness of this dimension far exceeded that of the Chaos Void Dimension.

"The Heavenly River accommodates everything."

Lin Yuan wore a pensive expression.

Within his internal Universe, a mighty and majestic heavenly river was gradually taking shape.

This was the manifestation of Lin Yuan's insights into the Heavenly River Dimension within his internal Universe.

By now, Lin Yuan's internal Universe could no longer be described simply as a 'Universe'.

It was more like a boundless dimensional space.

"The source of the secret technique "Heavenly River" that I cultivated back then originated precisely from this Heavenly River Dimension."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The secret technique "Heavenly River" came from the rewards of the Nine-Layer Black Tower in the Demon Jade Space.

Yet its true source was a slight insight into the heavenly river by the Chaos Void Time Lifeform, Zhu Yin.

These insights spread and were eventually collected by the Moyu Tower Master, who summarized and categorized them before placing them into the Nine-Layer Black Tower.

"It seems I still have some affinity with this Heavenly River Dimension."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

The "Heavenly River" secret technique he once cultivated was naturally far from being on the same level as the true Heavenly River Dimension before him.

But it belonged to one of the latter's derivative secret techniques.

"Hmm?"

"Have they all retreated?"

Lin Yuan shifted his gaze and looked into the distance.

At this moment, one Time Lifeform after another began to leave, voluntarily ceding this dimensional space.

After smoothly taking away the tianhe heart and making the nine Time Lifeforms of the Great Void Dimension pay a price,

Lin Yuan announced to the outside world that he had taken charge of this Heavenly River Dimension.

Any Second Stage Time Lifeform was an overlord of a dimensional gap region, and dominating the Heavenly River Dimension entirely was a matter of course.

Lin Yuan naturally would not voluntarily give up the benefits he had obtained; both inside and outside the dimensional space, it was a world where Experts were supreme.

With powerful strength, one could occupy numerous resource benefits.

While those with weak strength would be exploited and suppressed.

And Lin Yuan's strength was far from as simple as that of an ordinary Second Stage Time Lifeform.

In that battle with Grey Ancestor, although Lin Yuan did not manage to keep the other party,

anyone with discerning eyes could see that in the clash between the two Second Stage beings,

Lin Yuan held the upper hand, and in the end, Grey Ancestor retreated directly without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, Lin Yuan's strength was above Grey Ancestor and above ordinary Second Stage beings.

Under such circumstances, how could the Time Lifeforms who had originally carved up the Heavenly River Dimension dare to harbor any other thoughts?

Upon receiving Lin Yuan's clear declaration of taking charge of the Heavenly River Dimension, they retreated proactively and without hesitation.

If they did not retreat, were they supposed to wait for Lin Yuan to sweep them out?

In that case, even the most basic dignity would be lost.

For Time Lifeforms, the Heavenly River Dimension was certainly precious.

But it was not an absolute necessity; in the vast dimensional gap, there was not only one Heavenly River Dimension.

"Not only did they leave readily, but they even gave all the tianhe hearts to me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, before leaving, those Time Lifeforms had proactively given him the tianhe hearts they had acquired in the past.

This was considered expressing their attitude.

The routinely nurtured tianhe hearts were far inferior to the one Lin Yuan had just acquired.

It was merely a Thirteenth Order First Realm rare treasure.

Its primary use was to leverage this object to directly observe the operation of the Heavenly River Dimension's Dao Origin.

As for refining it?

It only had some effect on the physical bodies of water-attribute Time Lifeforms.

It could slightly temper the physique.

Its practical significance was not great.

If they left the Heavenly River Dimension, a tianhe heart would not even be as good as a First Realm rare treasure.

Under such circumstances, those Time Lifeforms naturally knew what to do.

Actively presenting it to Lin Yuan and befriending this Second Stage Time Lifeform was the best choice.

"Galaxy."

"Galaxy."

At this moment, Mo Xu Lord and other Time Lifeforms appeared and called out to Lin Yuan.

"How is it?"

"How are those tianhe hearts working out for you?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

He took out several of the extra tianhe hearts he had obtained and distributed them to Mo Xu Lord and the others.

Ordinary tianhe hearts had basically no effect on tempering Lin Yuan's Physical Body.

It was better to leave them for Mo Xu Lord to observe the operation of the Heavenly River Dimension's Origin Dao.

Anyway, the operation of the Heavenly River Dimension's Origin Dao was right there.

It would not decrease just because one more lifeform observed it.

Without affecting himself, Lin Yuan was still willing to help friends who had a good relationship with him.

"Very good."

Mo Xu Lord and the other Time Lifeforms immediately said.

At the same time, expressions of shame appeared on their faces.

Originally, they had intended to seize this tianhe heart as a 'congratulatory gift' for Lin Yuan upon becoming a Time Lifeform.

Yet the result was that they themselves received tianhe hearts given to them by Lin Yuan.

Along with it, this entire Heavenly River Dimension had become the territory of the Chaos Void.

You must know that Mo Xu Lord and the other seven Time Lifeforms, in order to gain a foothold in the Heavenly River Dimension,

had undergone countless battles and bloody fights.

Yet in the end, it couldn't compare to a single sentence spoken by Lin Yuan—

"I shall take charge of the Heavenly River Dimension from now on."

It was like an imperial decree!

With just this one sentence, those Time Lifeforms that gave Mo Xu Lord endless headaches obediently retreated.

This made Mo Xu Lord and the other Time Lifeforms feel like they were dreaming.

Especially for Luohou, as a mere newly-promoted Time Lifeform, being able to directly enjoy the opportunity to observe the operation of the Heavenly River Dimension's Origin Dao?

If this were in the past, it would have been completely impossible to occur.

After chatting for a few more sentences,

Mo Xu Lord and the other Time Lifeforms left to continue comprehending and observing the operation of the Heavenly River Dimension's Dao.

Lin Yuan also prepared to begin observing and comprehending.

Just at this moment,

an illusory figure condensed.

It had the appearance of a child, dressed in luxurious black robes, with two curved horns growing on its forehead, and was looking at Lin Yuan with a smile.

"Hmm?"

"What a special Chaos Origin Dao?"

Lin Yuan immediately discovered the other party and determined that the reason this black-robed child could appear silently before him relied on its own Chaos Origin Dao.

"Do not worry, I have no malicious intent." The black-robed child immediately explained, "My name is Wan Chengkong."

Lin Yuan looked at the other party.

Understanding instantly dawned in his heart.

Before he appeared, this dimensional gap region possessed numerous First Realm Time Lifeforms.

As for Second Stage Time Lifeforms? There were only two.

One was the Mother of Snail Realm.

The other was Wan Chengkong.

These two Second Stage Time Lifeforms had a huge influence and possessed very strong strength.

The black-robed child before him should be one of the two Second Stage Time Lifeforms.

Lin Yuan felt no surprise at all regarding this.

The commotion of his fight with Grey Ancestor was not small, and it had probably long since attracted the attention of the two Second Stage Time Lifeforms.

And the other party specifically waited until he had completely resolved the various matters of the Heavenly River Dimension before showing up, probably out of concern that Lin Yuan would overthink and be on guard.

"My name is Galaxy." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

The black-robed child had descended merely as an Incarnation, posing no threat whatsoever.

"Galaxy." The black-robed child Wan Chengkong nodded.

He had never heard of this name before, and trying to use this name as a 'medium' to observe past timelines resulted in complete blurriness.

"Since you have taken charge of this Heavenly River Dimension, Galaxy, you must plan to reside here permanently." The black-robed child smiled and said, "This is a 'congratulatory gift'."

The black-robed child flipped his right hand, and a pile of time sand appeared before Lin Yuan.

"One hundred catties of time sand?"

Lin Yuan was startled; even for a Second Stage Time Lifeform, one hundred catties of time sand was not a small number.

For a First Realm Time Lifeform, one hundred catties of time sand was an astronomical price; the nine Time Lifeforms of the Great Void Dimension had barely managed to scrape together this amount by pooling their resources.

"With your strength, Brother Galaxy, what is one hundred catties of time sand?"

The black-robed child shook his head and said.

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and still put away the one hundred catties of time sand.

If the other party had directly offered thousands of catties of time sand, Lin Yuan would have carefully considered it, worrying about getting entangled in some massive Karma.

But one hundred catties of time sand? In the eyes of a Second Stage Time Lifeform, it was just a considerable number, and taking it out was not difficult.

"In this gap region of ours, it has always been just me and that lunatic from Snail Realm. Now with the addition of Brother Galaxy, it can be considered a good thing."

The black-robed child said.

"A lunatic?"

Lin Yuan looked at the black-robed child.

The external reputation of the Mother of Snail Realm had always been very poor, exceptionally deranged and extreme.

However, the reputation of the black-robed child Wan Chengkong was similarly no better.

Extremely overbearing.

"Alright, I won't say any more superfluous words."

The black-robed child Wan Chengkong smiled and said, "Presumably Brother Galaxy has already gone very deep in sealing your own timeline. I wonder if you have any interest in teaming up with me to explore a certain special dimensional space?"

"That special dimensional space has not yet been discovered by other Time Lifeforms. However, with just my own strength, it is very difficult to conduct an in-depth exploration. With you here, Brother Galaxy, it should work out."

The black-robed child Wan Chengkong issued an invitation.

"Explore a special dimensional space?"

Lin Yuan fell into brief contemplation and finally shook his head, saying, "Let's talk about it later."

Since the black-robed child specifically mentioned the matter of sealing timelines, presumably the exploration of that special dimensional space was related to one's own timeline?

Lin Yuan knew his own situation best; his timeline sealing relied on Lords Authority.

It was not his own power.

"Talk about it later?"

The black-robed child Wan Chengkong wore a slightly surprised expression.

Normally, Time Lifeforms were extremely eager to explore special dimensional spaces.

Even Second Stage Time Lifeforms were no exception.

The operation of the Dao rules contained within a special dimensional space

completely held the hope of allowing a Time Lifeform to advance further.

Especially since Wan Chengkong mentioned that that special dimensional space had not been discovered by other Time Lifeforms, its value was probably even harder to measure.

"Very well."

The black-robed child Wan Chengkong nodded, his tone carrying a hint of emotion as he said, "For us Second Stage Time Lifeforms, wanting to step into the Third Realm and become a Time Lord is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Only by relying on the resonance of certain special dimensional spaces is there any hope."

"Since that is the case, I will not disturb Brother Galaxy."

The black-robed child Wan Chengkong looked at Lin Yuan: "Whenever Brother Galaxy becomes interested, you can find me at any time."

Having finished speaking, the figure of the black-robed child Wan Chengkong vanished from sight.

"Special dimensional space?"

Lin Yuan wore a pensive expression while beginning to observe along the timeline.

When the black-robed child mentioned the words "special dimensional space", even without specifying details, a slight karmic connection was generated between Lin Yuan and it.

Thus, he was able to observe along the timeline.

"It is indeed a special dimensional space."

Lin Yuan observed the future timeline as scenes flashed past.

In many future timelines, if he had agreed to the black-robed child to explore that dimensional space, he would fall into a deadlock.

Engaging in a protracted standoff over long years with the consciousness of that dimensional space.

"The efficiency is too low."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Directly dismissing the black-robed child's invitation in his heart.

Perhaps for other Second Stage Time Lifeforms, that special dimensional space had immense value.

Even after a protracted stalemate over long years, as long as one could successfully explore that dimensional space deeply in the end, it would still be a huge profit.

But for Lin Yuan, the losses would outweigh the gains.

He still had more than thirty Origin Worlds waiting for him to explore, and the value of each Origin World far exceeded that dimensional space by an unknown amount.

Moreover, in exploring Origin Worlds, Lin Yuan conducted a thorough, integrated exploration without needing to fight against the World Consciousness at all. The efficiency was countless times higher.

"Gate of Myriad Realms."

The higher his Realm, the more Lin Yuan felt the terrifying nature of the Gate of Myriad Realms. This arrival and shuttle that completely ignored the resistance of dimensional space consciousness basically paved a direct path to the Third Realm Lord.

Even for a Third Realm Time Lord, who might look down upon ordinary dimensional spaces, Origin Worlds were different.

Lords like the Lord of Heavenly Light were willing to pay a tragic price in order to integrate into the Second Source World.

"My path of Cultivation only needs to proceed slowly."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

He did not need to be like those Time Lifeforms, exploring the vast dimensional gap everywhere and searching for various dimensional spaces.

He only needed to follow the steps and explore those thirty-three Origin Worlds bit by bit.

Not long after Wan Chengkong left,

the Mother of Snail Realm also personally visited Lin Yuan.

At the same time, she offered five hundred catties of time sand as a congratulatory gift.

This made Lin Yuan quite amazed. Five hundred catties of time sand? Even for a Second Stage Time Lifeform, taking out such a huge amount of time sand must have made her heart bleed internally.

"Did she obtain intelligence about me from Grey Ancestor?"

Lin Yuan drew the corresponding conclusion by observing the timeline.

"They all say the Mother of Snail Realm is deranged and extreme, but looking at it now, there are quite a few discrepancies."

Lin Yuan shook his head gently. In reality, the so-called extreme personality, derangement, and overbearingness varied from person to person.

Facing the weak, or existences they could do nothing about, they were naturally uninhibited.

But facing Lin Yuan? Since Lin Yuan could suppress Grey Ancestor, he might also suppress the Mother of Snail Realm and Wan Chengkong.

"I didn't expect that just after becoming a Time Lifeform, the time sand in my hands would approach a thousand catties."

Lin Yuan took stock of his wealth, his mind feeling joyful.

The one hundred catties of time sand presented by the Great Void Dimension, the one hundred catties sent by Wan Chengkong, and the five hundred catties sent by the Mother of Snail Realm.

Added together, that was seven hundred catties of time sand.

One must know that veteran First Realm Time Lifeforms like Mo Xu Lord probably did not have seven hundred catties of time sand on them even after accumulating wealth over long years.

"Strength, it is still strength."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, without doing anything, he had obtained seven hundred catties of time sand, relying entirely on his own strength.

As long as one's strength was powerful enough, resources would actively be sent to one's door.

"Next, the focus of Cultivation will be placed on exploring the Third Source World."

Lin Yuan knew his own advantages and was also clear about the help Origin Worlds provided for his Cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's consciousness quickly returned to his true body and physical form within the Third Source World.

It had been a while since he descended into the Third Source World.

Lin Yuan already had a high degree of understanding of this heaven and earth, and had also adapted to his descended identity.
