Chapter 1321: Chapter 7: Smooth Acquisition
The dark dimension rift.
’Thousand-faced River’ and ’Ling Hangui,’ the two time lifeforms, gazed into the distance.
"Thousand-faced River, is this your ally? Impressive." Ling Hangui glanced at another immense face.
Thousand-faced River shook its head: "I don’t know Them."
Actually, it also wondered if Ling Hangui had invited this helper.
But recalling Ling Hangui’s earlier reaction, it seemed unprepared as well.
It even took the initiative to attack Lin Yuan.
So, it didn’t ask.
"Don’t know? " Ling Hangui didn’t doubt it.
At the thirteenth level, it’s rare to be deceived or hidden from.
The reason Ling Hangui asked this was casual, not expecting a definite answer.
In fact, if Thousand-faced River could indeed invite allies of such a level, it would have just revealed them directly.
Ling Hangui would certainly have voluntarily withdrawn to avoid a conflict between two time lifeforms.
"Who would have thought, after planning for so many years, neither of us obtained the special Nightmare Fruit."
Thousand-faced River spoke with a slight tone of lament.
For this day, it had observed billions of future timelines.
The probability of obtaining this special Nightmare Fruit was calculated to be sixty percent.
To have a sixty percent chance of winning against another Time Lifeform was considered very high.
"To have future timelines that even I can’t see, it’s not simple."
Ling Hangui’s tone was slightly grave.
It’s hard for Time Lifeforms to observe each other’s timelines, but not to this extent of vagueness.
"Perhaps their own power is close to the thirteenth level peak, or they have a deep cause and effect with a Lord who is willing to pay a price to help seal the timeline."
Thousand-faced River nodded: "In either case, we should avoid getting involved."
In the mysterious dimension rift, if Time Lifeforms are tycoons, then Time Lords are the absolute rulers.
Each Time Lord commands a vast rift region, with many Time Lifeforms willing to follow them.
After all, Time Lords can see more and deeper timelines and can guide Time Lifeforms in this regard.
"But why would such an existence be interested in a Nightmare Fruit and even take action personally?"
Ling Hangui was puzzled, unable to see the relevant timelines, thus unable to analyze Lin Yuan’s true purpose.
"Who cares."
Thousand-faced River shook its head, and its immense face quickly vanished.
Ling Hangui pondered for a moment and did the same; its presence rapidly receded.
To the lofty Time Lifeforms, precious as this special Nightmare Fruit might be,
it was simply part of a larger strategy. While gaining it would be good, failing wasn’t a big deal.
In the distance.
On the towering Nightmare Tree, countless members of the Nightmare Clan, who had been lying on the ground, finally dared to raise their heads, feeling relieved as they looked at the empty dimension rift.
"The great Time Lifeforms have left."
Many members of the Nightmare Clan began to talk.
In the eyes of Time Lifeforms, they were ants that could be erased at any moment.
"That Ten Thousand Meter Nightmare Fruit was taken by a great Time Lifeform."
"It seems the last Time Lifeform took it away."
"The first two Time Lifeforms didn’t pursue."
One by one, the Nightmare Clan members discussed cautiously. When it came to the great Time Lifeforms, even at a slight mention, they dared not be overly reckless, nor did they dare to mention any particular Time Lifeform by name.
.....
In a very distant place.
Lin Yuan stopped.
"Not coming after me?"
Lin Yuan glanced back.
In the many future timelines he observed,
under the blessing of a Lord’s status, after seizing the Nightmare Fruit, it’s inevitable those two Time Lifeforms would not dare follow.
Though the Nightmare Fruit is precious, chasing a thirteenth-level being whose future timeline could not be seen? No Time Lifeform would want to do that.
Time Lifeforms are the best at weighing pros and cons, never acting impulsively; every action is carefully weighed.
Of course.
Although Lin Yuan was almost certain they wouldn’t give chase,
he also prepared for the worst-case scenario.
If those two Time Lifeforms indeed pursued him at all costs,
"Then I will return this Nightmare Fruit." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
A Time Lifeform wouldn’t do anything meaningless.
If needed, he’d hand over the Nightmare Fruit and let those two Time Lifeforms continue to battle for it.
There’d be no loss for Lin Yuan.
He attempted to seize the Nightmare Fruit in the first place merely as a trial.
Even if the final attempt failed, it was expected.
If he succeeded, then it would be a tremendous gain and benefit.
...
"Returned."
Lin Yuan’s true body quickly returned to the Chaos Void.
He brought back the Taiji Primordial Spirit’s centuries of travel harvests.
"Too many spoils."
Lin Yuan was elated.
Apart from the most precious Nightmare Fruit,
there were also numerous dimensional treasures plundered by the Taiji Primordial Spirit.
For genuine thirteenth-level Time Lifeforms, these dimensional treasures
aren’t particularly precious.
But Lin Yuan is not thirteenth-level yet.
Gaining what was worth dozens of times his previous wealth, he was naturally in a good mood.
"When the Taiji Primordial Spirit returns, I can open the Primordial Spirit’s infinite Constant Sand Particle World." Lin Yuan, now wealthy and bold, was no longer satisfied with having his true body open the infinite particle world alone.
The strength of the Primordial Spirit is also a part of his own; the stronger the Primordial Spirit, the stronger he is.
"Some of the scraps, however, can be tossed into the human civilization’s treasure vault for human evolvers to exchange." Lin Yuan mused.
These scraps aren’t of much use to Lin Yuan, not even enough to open a single particle world.
