Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1291 - 626: Existence in the Past (Part 3)

Chapter 1291: Chapter 626: Existence in the Past (Part 3)

Chen Mu looked at the clump of realm mud and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

The three kinds of Origin Dao are equally powerful, but the Time Dao is indeed the most mysterious and elusive. As far as he knows, under certain special circumstances, the power of time can attach itself to any material or substance, and may even fall upon people.

Including mortal beings.

Some mortal beings, while doing something, suddenly feel a flash of deja vu, as if they have seen the current scene before. This is actually due to the influence of the power of time.

Some who are more profoundly influenced by the power of time can even see glimpses of the future.

Such people are generally favored by the Time Dao to some extent. If they are fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation, they might achieve something in the Time Dao. However, according to Chen Mu’s observations, such individuals are rare, and most are only slightly disturbed by the Time Dao, hardly deserving of its favor.

As far as he knows, those who are truly adept in the Time Lineage, truly favored by time, possess various special powers even in their mortal period before becoming gods, for example, being able to glimpse scenes from the past or see numerous fragments of the future, capable of perceiving various future possibilities, etc.

After studying the clump of realm mud for a while, Chen Mu waved and collected it.

The value of the realm mud itself is very low, but once entangled with the power of time, it becomes utterly different. Although Chen Mu currently does not know the purpose of this thing, objects involving the Time Dao are more or less extraordinarily valuable.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but think of the five essential mysteries of the Time Dao.

Gu, Now, Void, Cycle, Gap.

Gu is the past, Now is the present, Void is the future, Cycle represents the completeness of time, while Gap represents the discontinuity of time.

The endless universe originates from a certain initial point. It also has its lifespan, inevitably vanishing back to that point, returning to the beginning. This is the cycle of time. Anyone who understands the mysteries of time knows this inevitable process.

Only this process might be extremely long, so long that even god-realm beings can only sense Nihility, maybe surpassing billions of catastrophes… At least neither Chen Mu nor Fan Gu Divine Monarch knows at what moment this endless universe was born, exactly how long it has been since then, nor how long it will take for this universe to reach its end.

As for the ’gaps of time,’ they’re also interesting, much like the contradictions between splitting and aggregation in the Void Lineage; time is both complete and broken, like a stick of incense, a cup of tea, a blink, a breath… After the infinite division of time’s measure, in the end, it isn’t continuous, and between each smallest node, there are special gaps.

Like that peculiar black mud clot, its essence exists in the past, so how can the living beings of the present travel to the past?

Through these gaps.

Simply put, if one truly wants to influence the past, they must complete the fusion of the mysteries of ’past’ and ’gap,’ in order to truly interfere with the measure of the past. But even so, they would still face the heavy resistance of time!

When exploring the Time Dao, Chen Mu also wondered if he could infiltrate the past, to retrieve those old friends who had fallen in the past, bringing them back to the present. And the answer is, it can be done, but it’s very difficult!

The greater the interference with the past, the greater the impact on the present, hence the greater the resistance from time.

Resurrecting people fallen in the past to the present is considered a very significant influence. At least the Time Lineage gods of the Seventh Layer Heaven can’t achieve this level, even if the fallen ones are not gods, only mortal beings.

At least a Supreme Divine Monarch from the Time Lineage of the Ninth Layer Heavens might possibly retrieve fallen figures from the past, but this is limited only to beneath the God Realm. Once it involves the God Realm and above, it becomes impossible to achieve, unless a Venerable of the Time Lineage takes action!

Chen Mu also worried about the strange methods of the gods in the Time Lineage, whether they could interfere with everything in his past when he was weak. But in reality, that is also extremely difficult because he has already cultivated into a Divine Monarch now. Once his past is interfered with, the impact on the present would be immense, hence the resistance from time would also be huge. At least at the same level, it is very difficult to implement such means.

If it is to deal with mortal beings who have not yet become gods, then a Divine Monarch who has merged the two mysteries of ’past’ and ’gap’ does indeed possess the ability to descend dimensions and play at will… But actually, if a Divine Monarch wants to toy with a mortal being, they don’t need to go to such trouble.
