Chapter 691 - Time And Space

No one knew who was the first to name the river of time and space. It might have been the first people to traverse the passage from Earth. However, it was just like its name; time and space did look like a golden river. The river flowed in many directions, and it was endless.

It was something everyone could see when they were in the spatial carriages, and Xiao Lin had already been on the spatial carriages more than once. Furthermore, he was different from everyone else. He had truly stepped into time and space before. Back then, he and Silverlight had gone through time and space to witness Atlantis being destroyed by Poseidon.

Initially, that was just something like watching a movie, and yet, the sudden developments had been unimaginable. Not knowing anything, Xiao Lin had shattered the wall of time, and had truly traveled to the past. They had even sealed the god of the sea, interfering with the flow of time.

No, Xiao Lin always believed the fact that that had been how history actually moved. Only, no one would ever know if the chicken came before the egg.

Stepping into that corridor again, Xiao Lin could not help but think about the past. He stopped for a moment, and let out a sigh. He remembered Silverlight, that woman who came from Atlantis. It was a pity that she met her end, and even passed on the last of her power to him.

As for Asabanor, after entering the river of time and space, Xiao Lin had already started to slowly let go of his collar. However, Asabanor had instantly held onto the corner of Xiao Lin's sleeve. The man might be crazy, but he was no idiot. He knew that being in a spirit state in the flow of time would be like being a grain of sand in the sea. He would be washed away at any moment.

He could only rely on Xiao Lin who had absorbed the power of law in his Myth state to temporarily maintain himself. Xiao Lin knew that as well, which was why XIao Lin ignored the man.

Asabanor was extremely shocked; he was shocked at how majestic the river of time looked. It was something he had spent almost his whole life researching. As someone who had never been in a spatial carriage, he was like a child who had got on a train for the first time. Even being as crazy as he was, he could not disguise the shock in his eyes.

What really shocked Asabanor even more waas Xiao Lin's calmness, and also the third eye that had suddenly appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead.

Asabanor stared at that silver eye, and insanity and jealousy burned in his eyes. He finally calmed down again. With the difference in power, he could not do anything at that moment.

Xiao Lin seemed to notice something from Asabanor's expression, and he touched his forehead, and he thought about Silverlight before he sighed. That eye represented the power of time and space. Before, he could not completely use the power despite inheriting it. Yet, either because of the power of law or the fact that he was in the river of time and space, he was finally able to completely open the third eye that he had inherited.

"So this is the true appearance of the river of time! Time and space, space and time… It really is an appropriate name for it!" Xiao Lin had a strange look on his face as he remarked curiously.

In truth, the river of time was not empty, as there were countless sand-like fragments that were the size of rice, constantly flowing. Thanks to the third eye, the scene in front of him had completely changed. They were no longer grains of sand, but very small orbs of energy.

The orbs of energy were not big, and could be said to be too small to even account for. Xiao Lin reached out and touched it. The surface was very soft and smooth. Asabanor followed his lead, and tried to reach out, but to his anger, his hand merely phased through the orbs of energy, not touching anything.

Asabanor was an intelligent person, as he knew that it was not only due to his spiritual form, but more so because of the third eye on Xiao Lin's forehead. Of course, he did not ask about it, since he knew that Xiao Lin would not tell him the truth, and he did not want to seek out his own embarrassment. However, Asabanor was not idle, and his eyes constantly moved, as if he was thinking about something.

Xiao Lin did not want to focus on the high priest, and his focus had been completely captured by those orbs of energy in front of him. His hand could touch those orbs physically, but in just one or two seconds, he immediately removed his hands, as if he had touched something hot.

What amazing power!

Xiao Lin knew the principles of compressing energy, but he had never seen a feat of compression that was at such a shocking level. That feeling was like someone had compressed a whole planet into the size of a football; the density was unimaginable.

However, Xiao Lin could guess what those orbs of energy were. Each orb probably contained memories or moments of history. More precisely, they were time -- time that had a physical form. The power of time was unlimited, which was how the sand had such an inexhaustible amount of energy.

What he could infer from that was that changing history and time was not something unimaginable. As long as they could enter the river of time with enough power, they could forcibly interfere with those orbs of energy and change them. It was only that the power was incredibly shocking, and was at the level of destroying planets. To be able to do that, one would have to be no different from a God.

Thinking about that, Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, as there was never an end when it came to power. After he absorbed the power of law and entered his Myth state, even him, who was always careful, could not help but feel like he could control everything. He estimated that he was at least at Gold-rank or above.

However, when he witnessed the power within the sands of time, he suddenly felt incredibly miniscule. Even after absorbing the power of the law, he was still shockingly far from having true power.

However, Xiao Lin did not realize that, even if that was the case, he was still using his eye and interacting with a power of a higher level. It was something most of the colonists, even those stronger than him, never had a chance to do.

"Asabanor, I more or less understand what you meant now. Sealing the passage really is something only I can do. It has nothing to do with the amount of power needed; the power of law is actually something like a switch in the river of time.. You've really calculated everything well!" Xiao Lin suddenly said.
