Chapter 1318: Chapter 5: Lord Authority

At the deepest part of the bloodline, the many fundamental forces converge, forming divine skill imprints that appear illusory and ethereal.

As Lin Yuan’s mind delved deeper, numerous pieces of information surged into his brain.

“This time, the divine skill…”

Lin Yuan was taken aback.

Compared to the seven previous physical body divine skills he had acquired.

This awakening of a physical body divine skill was extraordinarily special.

It wasn’t an ‘active’ divine skill.

Nor was it a ‘passive’ divine skill.

Instead, it was a…

Rank.

Lord rank.

“Lord rank?” Lin Yuan marveled at the nuances of this divine skill he felt.

“Could this divine skill be derived from the Lord of Heaven Light?”

“His failure to break through to the Fourteenth Rank led to his demise, causing his rank to crumble and scatter into the bloodlines of this source world’s beings?”

“And as I followed the Martial Arts Evolution Road, refining the most fundamental force of the bloodline, I inadvertently gathered this kind of rank?”

Lin Yuan speculated secretly.

What is called lord rank represents the height and status of a Time Lord, and it is also related to part of a Time Lord’s authority.

Specifically speaking.

After gathering this lord rank.

Lin Yuan naturally grasped some abilities that only a Time Lord could master.

First of all, Lin Yuan’s past, present, and future timeline began to gradually be sealed.

Other time beings found it difficult to peer and watch.

To peer into the timeline of a lord is far more difficult than peering into the timeline of a being of the same rank.

Ordinary Thirteen Rank beings will suffer a backlash from the timeline if they forcefully gaze upon the former.

“My own timeline has been sealed?”

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

All along, facing other time beings in the same dimensional space, Lin Yuan had always been an object of observation.

This observation certainly spared Lin Yuan a lot of trouble, such as those time beings not daring to become enemies.

But repeated observations allowed those time beings to see through every inch of his vulnerabilities.

Lin Yuan didn’t feel repulsed but was certainly not very willing either.

Even if unwilling, there was nothing he could do without reaching the Thirteen Rank; the life level difference was too great.

Those time beings watched his timeline effortlessly.

But now, things were different.

With the lord rank’s blessing, the difficulty of peering into Lin Yuan’s past, present, and future timeline is, if not comparable to a Time Lord, not far off either.

It is known that in battles between Thirteen Rank time beings, it’s all about who sees more and further into the future timeline, and if one party’s future timeline cannot be fathomed, it equates to holding the initiative.

The advantage is enormous, as can be imagined.

Why does the Time Lord reign supreme over time beings? Besides their direct strength.

It’s because they master the timeline and gradually seal it, making it tough for other time beings to peer.

With the lord rank’s blessing, Lin Yuan’s own past, present, and future timeline is sealed, and observing future timelines becomes easier and more relaxed.

Like the favored child of various timelines.

“I can feel that the lord rank can only fully be unleashed when truly reaching the Thirteen Rank; as for now? I can only exert some of its might.”

Lin Yuan’s heart was overjoyed.

With this lord rank, Lin Yuan was akin to half a Time Lord.

Of course, this “half Time Lord” pertains purely to status; as for direct power? Far inferior, naturally.

The might of a Time Lord, Lin Yuan had seen first-hand from the Demon God.

It was but the weakest form of the Black Demon of the Lord of Heaven Light.

Without the presence of mind and will, unable to utilize most means.

Even with parts of the demonic qi dispersed throughout the source world.

It still fought Lin Yuan to a standstill.

As for the other half of the light side, it further kept thirteen Eternal Lords busy.

The might of a Time Lord is indisputable.

“Even if not fully unleashing the lord rank’s might, now I am not too different from a true time being; the previous life level height disparity is now compensated by the lord rank.”

Lin Yuan laughed, “In fact, in some respects, I am even much stronger than ordinary time beings, such as the sealing of my own timeline.”

Actually, when a time being nears the peak of the Thirteen Rank, it tries to seal its own timeline until it crosses into the peak of the Thirteen Rank and becomes a Time Lord, then starts sealing the timeline officially, the convergence of the timeline.

This is also the practice of a Time Lord, the stronger a Time Lord, the more terrifying the sealing of their own timeline, some extremely powerful Time Lords, even traveling to the past aided by a fully converged timeline, or slightly altering the past.

Of course, even a Time Lord doesn’t dare to alter the past.

Can do but does not dare to do.

One reason is the backlash is too dreadful.

In endless dimensions, every time node will give birth to countless future timelines, if a past node is altered, from such a small pull affecting the entirety, how great would its impact be?

Even as strong as a Time Lord, such backlash cannot be endured.

Changing the past is fundamentally different from the resurrection of the Twelfth Rank power.

The latter’s resurrection targets the ‘life imprint’, having no impact on the past.

But altering the past affects the entire timeline up to now.

And the second reason?

Even if able to block the backlash from slightly changing the past.

How would you know if the past you altered is what a Fourteenth Rank Perfect Time Being desires?

Though so far, no time being has been able to confirm if Fourteenth Rank Perfect Time Beings truly exist.
