Chapter 626: Existing in the Past

Chen Mu pondered and recalled the previous scene, while continuing to look towards the Xuliu River in front of him.

Expanding his vision further into the distance, he could see nearly endless whirlpools, blooming and disappearing one after another. These whirlpools were deep and shallow, big and small, and each one was different.

suddenly,

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at one of the vortexes in the void.

I saw the void in the vortex twisting, and suddenly a strange golden substance flew out from it. This golden substance was very strange, with a gilded luster. It passed through the chaotic and twisted void force. Not only was it not disturbed by the void force, it even caused the void force to change and flow.

"Void gold?"

Chen Mu immediately recognized the origin of this strange object.

Void Refined Gold, one of the rare items of the Void lineage, has an extremely high affinity for the power of the void and is extremely valuable. It is one of the main materials for forging the superior divine weapons of the Void lineage. Even for Chen Mu, it is worth his effort.

However, Chen Mu frowned slightly as he watched the piece of void gold surging in the Void River, and did not try to fish it out.

Because the void vortex that spewed out this piece of void refined gold is located in a very deep place in the Void River, it is impossible to fish it out from the shore. One has to go down there in person. However, there are many deep whirlpools near that location. If one goes in, there is a risk of being swept away by the void vortex and suddenly moved to an unknown and dangerous place.

Chen Mu watched the piece of void gold tumbling, and finally sinking into the deepest part of the Void River, disappearing completely.

“No wonder this Xuliu River is so safe on the shore that even the second and third level gods are not in any danger, but some gods often fall into it and die.”

Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

A piece of void pure gold would make even him a little tempted. If the distance was closer and the position was shallower, he would inevitably reach out to grab it, not to mention those in the ordinary divine realm.

If a god of the fifth or sixth level were to be here and see a piece of void pure gold, he would probably go crazy for it!

After all, such a rare item is definitely a huge resource for them, and it may even be comparable to all the wealth they have accumulated over dozens or hundreds of epochs. Faced with such a huge value, it is inevitable that some people will take risks for it.

But the fact is, even Chen Mu is not absolutely sure that he can fish out the piece of Void Essence Gold and get away with it, not to mention the ordinary fifth or sixth level of the Divine Realm. Once he tries to fish it out, the probability of success is probably less than 20% or 30%.

of course,

If Chen Mu takes action, he still has some certainty, but there will inevitably be a tiny risk. And for him now, he is not willing to take even a one in ten thousand risk for something like resources.

After all, what he needs is not resources, but time. The purpose of acquiring resources is to save time and to improve his strength faster. If it requires taking risks, it is obviously not worth it. After all, as long as he has enough time, he can practice step by step to the peak, and the road to mysterious fusion is not an obstacle for him at all.

Just as Chen Mu was looking at the piece of void refined gold sinking into the depths and feeling a little regretful.

suddenly,

After another void vortex churned for a while, a piece of dirty and strange black mud spewed out from it.

Chen Mu's gaze immediately moved over.

This time, the void vortex is shallower than the surface of the Void River, and there are few void vortexes nearby.

Chen Mu only observed it briefly and then took action immediately. He waved his right hand forward and three golden threads shot out from his fingers in an instant. As soon as these three golden threads shot out, they immediately became like living things, swimming continuously and going straight into the Xuliu River.

Wow! !

The water in the Xuliu River was churning, trying to affect the three golden lines. However, the three golden lines all contained tenacious vitality and were extremely spiritual. After winding and circling for a while, they soon approached the dirty and strange black mud.

This strange black mud is extremely unusual. It is a strange object that Chen Mu has never seen before. He has not even seen any description of it in the Fan Gu Palace. However, as the saying goes, there is nothing strange in the world, and the great way in the endless universe is extremely complicated and entangled. "Creation" is one of the essences of the universe. Therefore, it is not surprising that new things that have never appeared in the past are born.

No one can claim to know everything.

Zizi!

As soon as the three golden threads came into contact with the black mud, they immediately became entangled under Chen Mu's control, trying to scoop up the black mud.

However, what is strange is that this strange black mud is not affected by the three golden threads. No matter how the three golden threads entangle and pull, it is still weak and will only flow out from the gaps between the three golden threads.

Even under Chen Mu's control, the three golden threads changed into thousands of shapes in an instant, forming a dense golden net bag, but they still couldn't catch it. The black mud seemed to be non-existent and fell slowly to the bottom of the Xuliu River.

"interesting."

When Chen Mu saw this, his eyes flickered slightly.

The golden thread was constructed by him using the mystery of creation. It can catch all things, but it cannot catch this ball of strange black mud. This does not mean how high the essential level of the black mud is, but only means that its essence does not belong to the way of creation.

Swish!
Chen Mu flipped his right hand lightly, and the power suddenly changed.

He is a dignified God-lord-level being, and his foundation is already fully sufficient. He is a God-lord at the peak of the seventh level who is almost flawless. The power he possesses has already encompassed the three original great ways, so his methods are naturally far more than just superficial.

Chen Mu just flipped his hand, and the three golden lines shook violently, suddenly changing from golden to an illusory transparent color. The life force filled in them also changed accordingly, and suddenly transformed into an illusory power.

The power of the void!

The three life lines switched forms in an instant and turned into three lines of void.

In the next moment, these three lines of void intertwined with each other, splitting the void in an instant, forming an independent space that wrapped up the black mud and lifted it up again.

however.

What surprised Chen Mu was that he used the silk thread formed by the power of the void to cut out an independent space and used it as a 'net bag' to scoop up the strange black mud, but he still couldn't get it out!
This strange black mud seemed to be a more illusory existence. It flowed out again from the cut space, ignoring the isolation and interruption of space, and continued to sink to the bottom of the Xuliu River.

"So that's how it is." Chen Mu looked at the black mud. Although he was surprised that it was so difficult to fish out, after two consecutive failures, he had figured out the essence of the black mud. Although it could not be seen on the surface, there was no doubt that its core must be the Avenue of Time!

Only matter affected by the power of time could be so elusive.

Chen Mu was unable to identify its core at a glance, and even successively ruled out the two essences of creation and void before he finally determined that it was time. The reason was very simple. Perhaps this mass of black sludge only existed there in sight, but in fact, its roots existed in the 'past' or 'future'!
It is distorted by the power of time and is not on the current timeline, which means it cannot be touched at all. Therefore, what is observed is so strange and it is difficult to explore its essence, because the essence is not here at all.

but,

The power of time is not unsolvable.

For Chen Mu, as long as the essence is clear, there is more than one solution.

First, he can unleash the power of the seventh-level god, use force to break through cleverness, and forcibly tear apart the power of time entangled in this black mud, thereby forcibly pulling it from the 'past' or 'future' to the present!

There is no distinction between the great ways of origin. The divine power that constitutes the essence of life in the divine realm is also shaped by the power of origin and has the same essence as the great ways of origin. Therefore, although the means of the great way of time seem very mysterious, involving the past and the future, when they really collide in the end, it still depends on the strength of the forces.

Unless the essence of this ball of black mud is superior to that of the Seventh Heaven God, any Seventh Heaven God can "use force to break cleverness" and forcibly tear apart that layer of distorted power of time.

But Chen Mu did not resort to such violent means.

His eyes just flickered slightly, and then he lightly snapped his fingers, and the three lines of nothingness changed again. This time, the three silk threads were instantly covered with colorful luster interweaving, bursting out with three completely different kinds of mysterious power of time.

Past, present, Future!
Chen Mu had already mastered the five fundamental mysteries of the Avenue of Time. Now he did not need to use the last two mysteries, 'ring' and 'gap'. It was enough to just include the past, present and future.

Swish!
Three colorful silk threads intertwined into a web of time, encompassing the past, present and future, covering the ball of strange black mud. The moment they came into contact, both the forces of the 'present' and the 'future' penetrated through it, and only the force of the 'past' came into contact with the substance at once, entangling the ball of black mud.

Chen Mu's expression did not change, and he raised his right hand slightly.

This time, the black mud did not encounter any obstacles, nor was it blocked by the vortex of the void. It was entangled by his thread of the past, and then it was suddenly pulled out of the water of the Xuliu River and came in front of Chen Mu.

At the same time, Chen Mu also shook his hand slightly, and the three silk threads disappeared in an instant.

"A strange thing whose essence exists in the 'past'?"

Chen Mu stared at the black mud floating in front of him with an interested look.

Although he also had rare objects from the time in his hands, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

Through the contact with the 'Line of the Past', he has understood the nature of this black mud. Its nature is very ordinary. It is just a piece of the most common 'boundary mud', which is the most common resource with extremely low value. Its only function is to create something out of nothing and use it as the foundation of the world when trying to open up a world.

The output of this material is extremely large. Basically, any world will produce it when it is born and destroyed. And if one wants to use the boundary mud to open up and stabilize a large world, the required amount is also very huge, which is more than ten million times of this small lump. Therefore, the value of this small lump of boundary mud is extremely low, and even the gods of the second and third heavens do not think highly of it.

however,
It was just such an ordinary lump of boundary mud, but for some unknown reason, it was affected by the force of time and attached to it, causing its main body to be left in the past!
The current state is just a projection of it in the present.

"The power of time is truly strange."

Chen Mu couldn't help but marvel at the sight of this ball of mud.

There is no superiority or inferiority among the three original avenues, but the avenue of time is indeed the most mysterious and elusive. As far as he knows, in some special circumstances, the power of time can attach to any kind of material or substance, and may even fall on a person.

Including ordinary people.

Some ordinary people, when they are doing something, suddenly feel dazed and feel as if they have seen the current scene before, as if it is familiar. This is actually the influence of the power of time.

Some people who are more affected by the power of time can even see a glimpse of a partial future.

Such people are basically more or less favored by the Avenue of Time. If they are fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation, they may make some achievements on the Avenue of Time. However, according to Chen Mu's observation, there are very few such people, and most of them are only slightly disturbed by the Avenue of Time and cannot be said to be favored by time at all.

As far as he knew, those who were truly good at the lineage of time and were truly favored by time, even in the mortal period before becoming gods, would possess all kinds of special abilities, such as being able to glimpse scenes that happened in the past, or being able to see a large number of future fragments, being able to see many possibilities of what would happen in the future, and so on.

After studying the mud for a while, Chen Mu waved his hand and put it away.

The boundary mud itself is of extremely low value, but after being entangled by the power of time, it becomes completely different. Although Chen Mu currently does not know what this thing is used for, the strange objects related to the Avenue of Time are more or less of extraordinary value.

Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the five fundamental mysteries of the Avenue of Time.

Ancient, modern, empty, ring, gap.

Ancient is the past, present is the present, and empty is the future. The circle represents the completeness of the years, and the gap represents the interruption of the years.

The endless universe originated from a certain point in the beginning. It also has its lifespan, and will eventually be annihilated at that point and return to the beginning. This is the cycle of time. Anyone who understands the mystery of time knows that this is an inevitable process.

It's just that this process may be extremely long, so long that even for the existence in the divine realm, they can only feel nothingness, perhaps exceeding billions of kalpas... At least, neither Chen Mu nor the God Fan Gu knows when this endless universe was born, how long it has been since the present, and how many years it will take for this universe to reach that end.

As for the 'gap in time', it is also very interesting, just like the division and aggregation of the void that are opposed to each other, the time is both complete and broken, just like a stick of incense, a cup of tea, a blink of an eye, a breath... After the scale of time is infinitely divided, it is not coherent in the end. Between each smallest node, there is a special gap.

Like that strange black mud, its essence exists in the past, so how can the living beings of today go to the past?

It is through these gaps that one passes.

To put it simply, if you really want to influence the past, you must complete the mysterious fusion of "past" and "gap". Only in this way can you truly interfere with the scale of the past. But even so, you will still be subject to the heavy resistance of time!
When Chen Mu was exploring the Avenue of Time, he also wondered if he could penetrate his power into the past to retrieve those old friends who had fallen in the past and bring them back to the present. The answer is that it can be done, but it is extremely difficult!
The greater the interference with the past, the greater the impact on the present, and the greater the resistance of time.

Bringing those who died in the past back to the present is a huge influence. At least the God of the Time Lineage in the Seventh Heaven is far from being able to achieve this level, even if the people who fell were not at the divine level, but merely mortals.

At least it takes a peerless god from the Ninth Heaven, a member of the Time Lineage, to be able to retrieve the fallen people from the past. However, this is limited to those below the God Realm. Once it involves the realm above the God Realm, it will be impossible to do so, unless a venerable from the Time Lineage takes action!
Chen Mu had also worried about the strange methods of the God of Time, and whether he could interfere with everything for him when he was weak in the past. But in fact, that was extremely difficult, because he had already become a God. Once his past was interfered with, it would have a great impact on the present. Therefore, the resistance of Time would be extremely great. At least it was difficult to use such methods when they were at the same level.

If it were a mortal being who had not yet become a god, then a god who had integrated the two mysteries of the 'past' and the 'gap' could indeed attack them by reducing their dimensionality and play with them at will... But in fact, if a god wanted to tease a mortal being, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
