Chapter 1344 - 22: Fifty Years
Chapter 1344: Chapter 22: Fifty Years
The palace is certainly the epitome of absolute safety.
At least the young emperor can’t imagine what kind of power could break through the palace and kill him here.
This world greatly suppresses the physical body, preventing it from growing, and the ultimate strength of mental will is also limited; it’s impossible to fight against tens of thousands alone.
But the last calamity is naturally not that simple.
It’s definitely not something he can face directly.
The young emperor never intended to do so anyway.
Moreover, he directly assumed that the palace would eventually be breached.
In such a scenario, the so-called absolute safety is meaningless.
The palace is too big a target.
Everyone knows the emperor is in the palace.
Rather than staying in the palace waiting for the catastrophe to strike.
It’s better to fade into the world.
This world is vast beyond measure, with the Da Feng Dynasty occupying the richest ninety-nine states.
Beyond the ninety-nine states, many small countries are scattered around.
Further away, there are vast lands, such as the boundless deep sea to the east.
However, it is sparsely populated there, with harsh living conditions.
The young emperor thinks that as long as he finds a random place to hide.
No matter how unprecedentedly powerful the catastrophe is, even if it can break through the palace, it can’t do much to him.
After enduring a hundred and fifty years.
Then he will have won.
As for how to endure?
The young emperor doesn’t care.
Directly confront the catastrophe?
That would be the most foolish way.
The requirement of this calamity is not for him to defeat it.
He just needs to survive for a hundred and fifty years.
...
Golden Dragon Sect.
Lin Yuan took just over half a month.
To completely take over and control this giant power in Man State.
Mainly due to Jin Yi, the Entering Dao Master, cooperatively paving the way for Lin Yuan.
Coupled with Lin Yuan showcasing the power of an Entering Dao Master, the other disciples naturally did not dare to resist.
Why did an Entering Dao Master suddenly appear?
A vast force like the Golden Dragon Sect would surely cultivate disciples in secret.
Disciples with real potential to become Entering Dao Masters would definitely not be exposed.
What if they encounter assassination from other forces before becoming a Heavenly Master?
Thus, Lin Yuan’s appearance was regarded by the whole Golden Dragon Sect as Jin Yi’s secretly cultivated successor.
In this way, the power transition within the Golden Dragon Sect became exceptionally simple.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan performed a soul search on Jin Yi, learning everything about the Golden Dragon Sect and even able to view numerous timelines.
In less than a month, the entire Golden Dragon Sect was completely submissive to Lin Yuan.
...
Due to the suppression in this world, Lin Yuan, when viewing future timelines, can’t see accurate images and can only reveal them in fragmented text form.
Thus it was very necessary to perform a soul search on Jin Yi.
Besides gaining a deeper understanding of the Golden Dragon Sect.
It also saved a lot of time viewing Jin Yi’s past and future timelines.
Lin Yuan’s target is the Da Feng Emperor.
The majority of the timelines viewed usually relate to the Da Feng Emperor.
As for the Golden Dragon Sect? It’s not worth Lin Yuan’s excessive energy.
"Man State has been taken."
In the Golden Dragon Hall, Lin Yuan sat casually.
Taking over the Golden Dragon Sect was entirely an unforeseen pleasure.
In the various timelines previously viewed, this timeline was never seen.
Mastering the Golden Dragon Sect, he essentially controlled the entire Man State.
As for the official forces of the Da Feng Dynasty?
Using Lin Yuan’s methods, drawing on the forces of the Golden Dragon Sect.
The official forces of the Da Feng Dynasty in Man State would be replaced in silence.
"Time is still tight."
Lin Yuan’s thoughts gathered.
After twenty years of cultivation, Lin Yuan considered himself at the pinnacle of an Entering Dao Master.
In terms of combat power, he was invincible among Entering Dao Masters; ordinary ones had no means to resist him.
But such powerful strength has little effect on lifespan extension.
According to Lin Yuan’s precise understanding of the physical body, his remaining lifespan will not exceed one hundred and thirty years.
Which means, to pass this time loop trial, he must kill the Da Feng Emperor within a hundred and thirty years.
"If on the last day of life, I still cannot kill the Da Feng Emperor, I’ll directly use World-Breaking Origin Force to kill."
Lin Yuan thought in his heart.
The World-Breaking Origin Force is the ultimate trump card.
Even at the thirteenth level of time-based life, it has a significant function.
It should be avoided if possible.
Long before reaching the thirteenth level.
Lin Yuan had methods of forcibly entering other natural universes.
He had tried to enter a universe about to undergo great destruction.
But he couldn’t absorb a massive amount of World-Breaking Origin Force as he did in his home universe.
Lin Yuan speculated this was due to the consciousness of the Chaos Void Origin.
The World-Breaking Origin Force might be the core origin power of a dimensional space like Chaos Void.
Even thirteenth-level time-based lives hardly discover and absorb it.
It exists at the universe’s great destruction in Chaos Void, with World-Breaking Origin Force overflowing then.
Originally, the Chaos Void consciousness wouldn’t interfere with the overflowing World-Breaking Origin Force, because even time-based lives couldn’t discover it.
But since Lin Yuan massively absorbed the World-Breaking Origin Force from his home universe’s great destruction.
The Chaos Void consciousness becomes guarded against this.
For each natural universe about to be destroyed, as soon as the World-Breaking Origin Force overflowed.
It immediately collects into the deepest Primordial Lands of the Chaos Void.
Not allowing Lin Yuan any chance to absorb it.
Thus, Lin Yuan’s current method of accumulating World-Breaking Origin Force.
Is to rely solely on the passage of time.
Four million World-Breaking Origin Force as the price to break through the time loop.
Definitely avoid paying if possible.
...
The World-Breaking Origin Force as a trump card.
Lin Yuan naturally is unwilling to pay.
But if relying solely on himself, he really can’t break through the time loop.
He would definitely not hesitate to use the World-Breaking Origin Force.
But having done nothing, unsure if he could break through the time loop.
Directly expending all his World-Breaking Origin Force.
Lin Yuan certainly wouldn’t agree to this.
In any case, the initiative to break through the time loop is currently with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is naturally in no rush.
...
"The time beings of Chaos Void, the first Source World, and the second Source World are watching my future timeline, and are extremely certain of my stepping into the thirteenth stage because, in the future, I am destined to step into the thirteenth stage....."
"Probably because the World-Breaking Origin Force can be used within the time loop."
Lin Yuan’s expression showed contemplation.
This could explain it.
A time loop varies from person to person, there’s no certainty of breaking through it.
But the World-Breaking Origin Force, as an omnipotent force, can directly break through the time loop, ensuring his final advancement into the thirteenth stage.
The only difference.
Is whether he spent four million World-Breaking Origin Force to step into the thirteenth stage.
Or without spending the four million World-Breaking Origin Force, rely on himself to break through the time loop to step into the thirteenth stage.
Lin Yuan naturally hopes for the latter.
Besides saving a substantial amount of World-Breaking Origin Force.
It’s also a test of his own strength.
He can take this opportunity to prove himself.
...
After fully taking the helm of the Golden Dragon Sect.
Lin Yuan continued to watch his future timeline.
Lines of illusory text appeared and disappeared in his vision.
Allowing Lin Yuan to see a certain possibility of his future.
[At thirty-eight, you believe no Entering Dao Master is your match, so you infiltrate Da Feng’s capital, intending to assassinate the Emperor of Da Feng]
[A month later, you are surrounded and killed by twenty-eight Entering Dao Masters and fifty thousand Imperial Guards, you died]
...
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.
With his current strength, he’s considered invincible individually.
Yet, he infiltrated the capital and died before even meeting the Emperor of Da Feng.
"Twenty-eight Entering Dao Masters?"
Lin Yuan lightly shook his head.
This number of Entering Dao Masters is almost half of those in the ninety-eight states combined.
Additionally, with the most elite fifty thousand Imperial Guards.
If he fought to the death without retreat, there indeed would be a possibility of dying.
Since he was observing his future timeline, Lin Yuan rarely thought about retreating.
Since it was an assassination attempt on the Da Feng Emperor, it was a mission with no retreat.
Even if the assassination was unsuccessful, it would at least reveal the capital’s tactics.
So in this timeline, Lin Yuan ultimately perished.
If it really happened now, Lin Yuan realized it was not feasible.
He would definitely retreat immediately.
Even if he didn’t retreat.
Before dying, he would use the World-Breaking Origin Force to forcefully ’clear the level.’
"Continue."
Lin Yuan began watching a new timeline again.
[At thirty-eight, you infiltrate the capital, being much more cautious]
[Two months later, you successfully enter the palace, encountered by thirty thousand Imperial Guards, you died]
.....
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.
Merely thirty thousand Imperial Guards and no other Entering Dao Master restraint, yet he died?
"Seeing a secret in the palace, enough to suppress an Entering Dao Master’s secret."
Lin Yuan speculated in his heart.
The Rune Dao can indeed be used in a looping world but is greatly suppressed, only able to manifest in the form of text.
Therefore, Lin Yuan indeed lacks much crucial information and intelligence.
But from the existing results, he can completely extrapolate many things.
Surrounded by twenty-eight Entering Dao Masters and fifty thousand Imperial Guards, if he fought to the death, there indeed is a possibility of falling.
But with only thirty thousand Imperial Guards? With his current strength, as long as time permits, he could completely annihilate these thirty thousand Imperial Guards.
...
"Continue, continue..."
Lin Yuan pondered for a while, continuing to watch subsequent timelines.
...
After taking charge of the Golden Dragon Sect, Lin Yuan’s subordinates’ forces experienced tremendous development.
The Golden Dragon Sect, as a Heavenly Master-level force, has been passed down for thousands of years, and its accumulated network and wealth influence are enough to elevate Lin Yuan’s cultivated forces to several levels higher.
And next.
Lin Yuan began using the Golden Dragon Sect as a stepping stone, gradually expanding into other major states.
Of course, this process was carried out very quietly, which was Lin Yuan’s primary consideration.
Before he truly acts against the Emperor of Da Feng, he would not reveal any of his own information or intelligence.
Currently, the Emperor of Da Feng is in the light, while he is in the dark, allowing him to be relaxed and have ample time to develop slowly.
Once he exposes himself, shifting from dark to light, it would not be as easy as it is now.
When the state machinery of a nation like the Da Feng Dynasty operates, Lin Yuan’s efforts to develop his forces would face many heavy obstacles.
By then, wanting to complete the task of killing the Emperor of Da Feng would rely solely on his own strength.
This would greatly decrease his certainty.
...
And so it went.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.
