Chapter 776: Dim and Dark Future

Myriad Dimensions Time-Space.

The timeline behind Lin Yuan returned to stability.

"That White Jade Stairway." Lin Yuan's expression fell into brief contemplation.

The Future Self he summoned was located on an endless White Jade Stairway.

And this White Jade Stairway was clearly recognized by the majestic crimson figure from the future time-space, who also gave replies such as "crucial scene of the future" and "there is no need for that."

Clearly, the White Jade Stairway had a huge reputation in the future; otherwise, it wouldn't have caused a Legendary Lord to show that kind of attitude.

"In the future timeline I observed, there is no such White Jade Stairway. The vast majority of the observed scenes are blurry, distorted, or even pitch black."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

When he first entered as a Time Lifeform, observing the future timeline was smooth and unhindered.

But with the improvement of strength and the elevation of Realm, the usefulness of the future timeline became lower and lower.

Because many scenes and much intelligence involved transcendence, or were related to the consciousness of the supreme rule great dao, they would not be displayed within the timeline at all, and can only be experienced firsthand.

This situation was particularly obvious among the Legendary Lords.

The Legendary Lords must have deeply explored the two paths of transcendence: Infinite Origin and Infinite Tribulation.

Their future could have accidents at any time due to these two paths of transcendence, causing the future scenes to be pitch black.

The more ancient the time period explored along the transcendence path of Infinite Origin, the more accidents were prone to happen, and the more likely one was to get lost or fall in the past.

This was even more so for Infinite Tribulation; the final stage of three hundred and thirty million tribulations walked on the line of life and death with every single tribulation, and a slight carelessness would result in the destruction of both body and Soul.

"At least this summoning let me know that in the future, 'I' should be doing quite well."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

He did not know that Blood Sea Lord's past, present, and future had all been completely wiped out.

But judging from the scene just now, Blood Sea Lord's Future Self had not a shred of resistance when facing his Future Self.

This showed that his own future strength should be incomparably terrifying.

And this was only the Future Self summoned by Lin Yuan from millions of years in the future.

"Blood Sea Lord."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and looked at the three corpses floating in the distance.

No matter how powerful his Future Self was, Lin Yuan was currently not even a Lord and had only recently shaken off his "poverty" state.

To him, the corpses of the three Lords were an astronomical fortune, so he naturally put them away at the first moment.

Swoosh.

The three corpses, including Blood Sea Lord, were taken into Lin Yuan's internal Universe.

At the same time, Lin Yuan also immediately checked them.

"Five Lord-grade weapons."

Lin Yuan discovered the five weapons hidden within the three corpses.

Among them, one weapon belonged to Heavenly Time Lord and was placed together with Heavenly Time Lord's Physical Body.

Among the five Lord-grade weapons, the most precious one was 'Dark Ocean'. This Lord-grade weapon belonged to the Legendary tier.

'Dark Ocean' was a suppression-type weapon and also possessed a camouflage function. Blood Sea Lord set up traps in Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, disguised as the aura of an important Opportunity site, relying precisely on 'Dark Ocean'.

"This time I've struck it rich."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Aside from 'Dark Ocean', each of the other four Lord-grade weapons was worth no less than eighty million catties of time sand.

Ordinary Lord-grade weapons were only worth hundreds of thousands to several million catties of time sand, but Blood Sea Lord, as a second-tier limit Lord, and Heavenly Time Lord, who was of the same tier—while Void Spirit Lord and Imperial Armor Lord were slightly weaker, they weren't far behind.

Their Lord weapons had consumed an unknown amount of painstaking effort, so they naturally far surpassed ordinary Lord-grade weapons.

As for that 'Dark Ocean'? As a Legendary-tier Lord weapon, it was estimated to be worth two hundred million catties of time sand.

In other words, the total value of the five Lord-grade weapons was equivalent to five hundred and twenty million catties of time sand.

In addition, there were some scattered other treasures and rare items, but they were only worth one or two million catties of time sand.

You must know that even with many encounters in Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, all of Lin Yuan's previous gains combined amounted to treasures worth only thirty to forty million catties of time sand.

But now?

A harvest directly exceeding five hundred million catties of time sand?

"What a pity."

Lin Yuan inevitably felt a trace of regret in his heart.

When Blood Sea Lord and the other three Lords set up traps, before Heavenly Time Lord, quite a few Time Lords must have suffered as well.

These Time Lords probably chose to pay time sand to preserve their Physical Bodies, but those time sand? They must have finished trading outside Myriad Dimensions Time-Space.

Within Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, it was impossible for Time Lords to carry that much time sand.

Even the five Lord-grade weapons obtained by Lin Yuan were unexpected variables. Under normal circumstances, Lords entering Myriad Dimensions Time-Space would not carry overly precious weapons.

But Blood Sea Lord and the other three Lords did the opposite. Having a Future Self that had already stepped into the Legendary tier as a fallback, they dared to bring four weapons in, one of which was even a Legendary-tier Lord weapon.

Heavenly Time Lord held a try-it-and-see attitude. After all, having hidden his true strength, as long as Legendary Lords didn't appear, other Lords could hardly pose a real threat to him.

"These three Physical Bodies, plus Heavenly Time Lord's Physical Body, also have immense value."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. To refine a main combat Physical Body, one didn't know how much painstaking effort and cost it would take.

The crudest use was to cause these four Physical Bodies to undergo Returning to the Origin and Source, refining them back into Origin power, or directly refining them into five Lord-grade weapons.

As for other uses, the best choice was naturally to sell them back to the owners of the Physical Bodies.

A Lord's main combat Physical Body not only represented painstaking effort, but also contained many of their own secrets. In order to redeem their main combat Physical Body, the owners would definitely be willing to purchase it at a 'premium'.

Just as Lin Yuan put away the corpses of Blood Sea Lord and the others and inspected his spoils of war.

A crowd of Time Lords watched this scene with wide eyes, not daring to make the slightest move.

Every Time Lord knew that the three corpses of Blood Sea Lord and the others contained monstrous wealth.

Yet not a single Time Lord dared to seize the Opportunity to rob them. The White Jade Stairway summoned by Lin Yuan just then, as well as the figure on the White Jade Stairway with his back facing them, who obliterated Blood Sea Lord's Future Self and Present Self with a wave of his sleeve, were deeply branded into the Souls of all Time Lords, making it hard to forget for all eternity.

With Blood Sea Lord as a cautionary example, who would dare to make a move at this time?

"The dignified Blood Sea Lord just died like this? His main combat Physical Body died inside Myriad Dimensions Time-Space?"

A Time Lord muttered to himself, as if dreaming.

The matter of Blood Sea Lord being completely annihilated across all timelines was difficult for even Legendary Lords to detect, so the many Time Lords present only thought that Blood Sea Lord had fallen with a main combat Physical Body.

Even so, it was extremely unimaginable.

"What fell was not just Blood Sea Lord, but also his Future Self, the Future Self that stepped into the Legendary tier."

"Which Lord on earth is that? Their future strength is so terrifying, to what extent have they walked in the final stage of three hundred and thirty million tribulations? The two hundred millionth tribulation? Or the three hundred millionth tribulation?"

The more the Time Lords thought about it, the more shocked they became, their minds unable to calm down for a long time.

Every step Time Lords took walked on the line of life and death, and Legendary Lords were even more so. To possess stronger strength, they had to survive more tribulations, and every single tribulation carried the risk of falling.

Vast dimensional gaps.

Inside a palace hidden in a special space.

Heavenly Time Lord's true form opened his eyes, a look of incredulity appearing.

"Blood Sea Lord summoned a Future Self that stepped into the Legendary tier and suppressed my main combat Physical Body, and later a Lord watching from the side also summoned a Future Self, casually erasing Blood Sea Lord's Present Self and Future Self?"

Heavenly Time Lord blinked his eyes. Through the nearby Time Lords, he also figured out what happened after he was suppressed.

It could be described as full of twists and turns.

"That watching Lord's future—"

Heavenly Time Lord found it hard to believe. He had personally fought against Blood Sea Lord's Future Self; although he was ultimately suppressed, he was also well aware of the opponent's terrifying methods.

Such an existence could also be casually wiped out?

"My main combat Physical Body fell into the hands of that watching Lord?"

Heavenly Time Lord couldn't help feeling a headache. If his main combat Physical Body fell into Blood Sea Lord's hands, although Heavenly Time Lord would feel distressed, he would roughly have an idea in his mind, knowing what kind of price to pay to redeem it.

But falling into the hands of this mysterious Lord?

Heavenly Time Lord knew nothing about this mysterious Lord, and the other party's terrifying future also made him very unconfident, having no idea how to 'redeem' his main combat Physical Body.

If the price offered was too high? He might not be able to afford it.

If it was too low? It would provoke the other party's dissatisfaction, and the ending probably wouldn't be very good.

"No matter what, I still have to give it a try."

Heavenly Time Lord steadied his mind. His main combat Physical Body still couldn't be left outside; even if he bled profusely, he had to try to 'redeem it back'.

The deepest part of Myriad Dimensions Time-Space.

When Blood Sea Lord summoned his Future Self, it had already alarmed several existences here.

Powers involving the third-tier Legendary Lord level could be sensed no matter how far apart.

"Another Legendary Lord."

"Is it a Legendary Lord from the future?"

"Making a move in the present time-space, are they laying out pieces in a strategy, or making up for their own hidden troubles?"

The few Legendary Lords in the deepest part of Myriad Dimensions Time-Space didn't care too much.

Legendary Lords occasionally going to past time-space to make a move was not too surprising of a matter.

As long as it didn't cause too much impact, other Legendary Lords couldn't be bothered to manage it. After all, a future Legendary Lord making a move in the present time-space was equivalent to a present Legendary Lord making a move in the past time-space.

"It's Blood Sea. That guy actually became a legend in the future?"

Several Legendary Lords observed from afar and discussed with each other.

The futures observed by Legendary Lords were mostly blurry and dark scenes, especially when involving other Legendary Lords.

Every Legendary Lord had walked deep on the path of transcendence, which was related to transcendence and difficult to observe.

Shortly after.

Along with Lin Yuan starting to summon his Future Self.

All the Legendary Lords' expressions changed.

"This is?"

"This kind of influence and suppression on time-space?"

Several Legendary Lords had solemn expressions, and several other Legendary Lords who were still in a state of comprehension also woke up, looking towards the direction where the timeline was turbulent.

Endless White Jade Stairway.

The figure turning his back to all living beings and ascending the steps.

The scene of annihilating Blood Sea Lord's Present Self and Future Self with a wave of his sleeve.

Everything that happened in just a few breaths made all the Legendary Lords feel suffocated.

"Instantly obliterated, and even Blood Sea Lord's future Legendary Future Self couldn't resist? Making a move across different time periods, the mighty power would inherently be suppressed and restricted, yet it still reached this degree. The strength of this existence—"

"Is definitely an existence no less than the Myriad Dimensions Lord, and is probably close to exploring the end of a certain path of transcendence."

"Who on earth is it? And that White Jade Stairway, I've never seen it before. Is it from some dimensional space?"

The many Legendary Lords' minds shook incessantly. They didn't care much about Blood Sea Lord's future Legendary Future Self, because they were basically at the same tier, and perhaps even inferior to them.

As for the figure on that endless White Jade Stairway—in the vast dimensional gaps, Legendary Lords basically never reveal their traces to the outside world, yet such a powerful Legendary Lord, a Legendary Lord who in all likelihood surpassed the Myriad Dimensions Lord…

"That terrifying existence from the future time-space, is his Past Self this person?"

The many Legendary Lords gazed far away at Lin Yuan, shocked inwardly: "He is not a Lord, yet he has the strength comparable to and approaching the second-tier limit."

"And I don't know how many years into the future that terrifying existence comes from."

"No matter how many years into the future it is, there probably aren't many existences in the vast dimensional gaps with this kind of strength."

"Right, even if we count those secluded 'old antiques', I'm afraid there aren't many who can compare to this one."

The Legendary Lords in the deepest part of Myriad Dimensions Time-Space communicated rapidly.

In the current Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, are there Legendary Lords who can match or even surpass the Myriad Dimensions Lord?

There certainly are.

But they must be extremely rare.

Legendary Lords of this height were about to see the end of a certain path of transcendence. Aside from matters related to their own transcendence, they rarely spared any mental energy for external matters.

"That White Jade Stairway?"

A Purple Light Legend Lord had a solemn expression. He glanced at the other Legendary Lords: "Recently, the future observed by us, between one hundred thousand and one million years later, will have a timeline that is incomparably dim and dark, making it difficult to observe any information."

The future timelines observed by Time Lords were mostly blurry and dark, which meant that the intelligence and information they wanted to know was blurry and dark.

As for the many trivial future scenes—fragmented scenes related to other Time Lifeforms and ordinary Time Lords—they could still see some.

After all, they didn't involve transcendence, or weren't connected too much with transcendence.

Yet the future timelines seen by the Legendary Lords present were uniformly in an incomparably dim state after one hundred thousand to one million years?

That is to say, one hundred thousand to one million years later, a major event that would affect the vast dimensional gaps region would occur. This major event was very likely related to transcendence, which caused them, the Legendary Lords, to have this kind of observation result.

"You mean that the White Jade Stairway is related to the dim and dark future we observed?"

Another Legendary Lord had a thoughtful expression.

"Correct."

The Purple Light Legend Lord nodded and continued, "I am only speculating."
