Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1331: Chapter 13: Successors Will Always Come

And the most crucial thing is whether one can become a Perfect Time Being, which was actually determined the moment they embarked on the path of cultivation.

Either you can, or you can’t.

It cannot be changed through acquired efforts.

And under this premise, the Lord of Heaven Light is likely unable to become a Perfect Time Being.

If they cannot become a Perfect Time Being and yet strive for perfection, it is akin to courting death.

A Time Lord, as long as they do not seek death, will not die.

Unless they attempt to achieve the Fourteenth Rank of Perfect Time Being.

The light shines everywhere.

All the Eternal Lords, including the Master of Infinite, were awestruck, looking at the Lord of Heaven Light who exuded infinite brightness, bringing hope to this source world; they did not know how to speak for a moment.

To advise the Lord of Heaven Light not to strive for perfection?

With the resolute will of a Time Lord, the fact that the Lord of Heaven Light is talking to them about this now means that a decision has already been made in the heart.

Calling thirteen Eternal Lords was to inform, not to seek their opinions.

But if not advised against?

The thirteen Eternal Lords owed a great debt to the Lord of Heaven Light, truly unwilling to see the other walk voluntarily into a path of certain death.

“Teacher…”

Finally, the Master of Infinite cautiously spoke up.

The thirteen Eternal Lords all addressed the Lord of Heaven Light as teacher.

Of course, the Lord of Heaven Light did not take them as disciples; the term ‘teacher’ was merely a form of address.

“Infinite, say what you wish to say.”

The Lord of Heaven Light looked gently at the Master of Infinite, even though already knowing what was to be said, listened quietly until the Master of Infinite finished speaking.

“What if the attempt at perfection fails?”

After much hesitation, the Master of Infinite tentatively inquired.

“Attempt at perfection fails?”

The Lord of Heaven Light glanced at the other twelve Eternal Lords, eyes profound.

Answered with a sentence that back then the Master of Infinite did not understand, also completely unrelated to the inquiry—

“There will be others who follow.”

…

The gaze of the Master of Infinite drifted, looking at Lin Yuan who was once again sitting cross-legged in the scene, the demonic Qi all around retreated within infinity, with Lin Yuan at the center, the source world in nearly one-fifth of the area was no longer enveloped in demonic Qi.

Each Time Lord attempting the Fourteenth Rank of perfection was prepared for the possibility of death in failure; the Lord of Heaven Light was neither the first nor the last Time Lord to strive for perfection.

Even if Time Lords continually fail and die in attempting the Fourteenth Rank, eventually, after endless ages, there will be life forms that truly evolve into Perfect Time Beings.

The robes of the Master of Infinite fluttered, distantly watching Lin Yuan.

…

Chaos Void.

Lin Yuan still drifted with the Chaos Qi among the desolate voids.

“The third level of Chaotic Taiji Dao has indeed greatly enhanced my strength.”

Lin Yuan confirmed the potential of his chosen path through sparring with ‘Demon God’.

The second source world, to elevate his Chaos evolution path to the third level, reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

And Heavenly Venerates… even with all six Ancient Countries combined, there are many, but whose path of Chaos Power can match the Thirteenth Rank of Time Beings at the third level?

Indeed, Lin Yuan’s combat prowess is not only due to the third level of Chaotic Taiji Dao but also many other factors, yet achieving the third level of Chaotic Taiji Dao significantly boosts Lin Yuan’s power.

Surpassing the typical increase from the second to the third level of a normal Chaos Power path.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan, drifting with the Chaos Qi, suddenly discovered a new secret realm being nurtured, nearing its completion.

In the Chaos Void, secret realms collapse and new ones are born every moment, but newly born secret realms are often very secretive; besides the secret realm itself, they also give rise to a group of wondrous life forms.

“Within the wondrous life forms birthed alongside this secret realm, will there emerge one who sweeps across the Chaos Void as an Invincible Great Saint in the future?”

Where Lin Yuan’s gaze fell, timelines unfurled; as time flowed, this secret realm successfully completed its nurturing, and the wondrous lives within it ventured out, contacting cultivators from the outside world.

One of these wondrous lives, due to having its absorbed energy stolen by others during the nurturing process, was Innately deficient, yet ultimately broke through obstacles and conquered the Chaos Void, gaining the title of ‘Invincible’.

Of course, this is merely a highly probable timeline; there are many timelines where this wondrous life did not become an Invincible Great Saint, or even perished prematurely before fully maturing.

But with Lin Yuan’s current mastery and control over future timelines, as long as no major unexpected changes occur, such as intervention by other time beings, it is essentially a foregone conclusion.

The future seen by time beings is inherently filled with unpredictability due to involving other time beings; any action by a time being is a variable.

However, merely peering into the future timelines of beings below the Thirteenth Rank lacks so many surprises; nearly everything seen in the future will happen.

“Is this the Invincible Great Saint in the eyes of a Time Being?”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts shifted; he had previously thought that an Invincible Great Saint sweeping across the Chaos Void would hold some status even in the eyes of time beings.

Yet as strong as Xuanhuang and Demonic Jade Tower Master were, they spent their lives seeking the traces of time beings, and these two Invincible Great Saints did encounter an imprint left in the Chaos Void by some time beings.

And received some guidance.

Yet it was merely guidance, and only as a result of great luck.

Many Invincible Great Saints overseeing an era never had the opportunity to meet a time being.

But now it seems, in the eyes of time beings, so-called Invincible Great Saints differ little from other Chaos Realm Perfects, or even Chaos Venerables.

The future timeline is too thin, seen through at a glance.

“The future of human civilization?”

Lin Yuan similarly observed the future of human civilization.

In many future timelines, human civilization flourished immensely, though after eons, internal strife and division gradually occurred, leading to numerous conflicts.

Lin Yuan watched indifferently, viewing the series of future timelines.

He did not prevent this internal strife and division; after eons, Lin Yuan only cared about the human civilization as a whole. How many evolvers would die? To what extent human civilization would suffer was of little concern, as long as human civilization as a group continued to exist.

“This is the mentality of the six Ancient Countries’ ancestors.”

Lin Yuan’s expression seemed thoughtful.

The six ancestors of the first source world actually did not care much about the rise and fall of the Ancient Countries themselves.

Of course, with the ancestors present, the Ancient Countries would not weaken excessively, yet the wars between Ancient Countries, and such, the ancestors would not intervene; how many powerful individuals in their own Ancient Country died due to war, the ancestors similarly do not care.

As long as their own capitals were not breached.

The sole concern of the six ancestors was to cultivate a new Time Being.

This is also the reason the ancestors left numerous heritages in their respective Ancient Countries, with the Da Fu Ancestor descending personally to guide the future generations periodically.

…

Lin Yuan merely lingered in the secret realm being nurtured for a moment, then continued drifting with the Chaos Qi.

The myriad rules and great paths of the Chaos Void, were all meticulously observed by Lin Yuan.

Even the most basic of the Golden Rules, Water Rules.

As Lin Yuan observed and comprehended once more, he still felt new insights and understanding.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan’s mind suddenly moved, looking towards the depths of the Chaos Void.

There, time loop regions stretched far and wide, nearly the final destination for all perfect chaos realm life forms.

Then, suddenly.

In a certain time loop region on the periphery, visible tremors occurred, threads of time power stopped their cycle, and the once-perfect large time cycle now showed signs of being breached.

Rustle.

Strands of time power suddenly began to reverse, ceasing the cycle, and this time loop region began to collapse.

“The Chaos Void has birthed the eighth Time Being.” Lin Yuan watched the scene deep within the Chaos Void and murmured softly.
