Chapter 897 - 997: What Do You Want to Do Next?

"Of course!" Wang Ye looked at Ye Tianfan, who suddenly turned fearful, and quickly replied, "Definitely not, we've already left the time node."

Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Wang Ye's words, but seeing Wang Ye's current appearance, he couldn't help but be curious again.

"Since we've already exited the time node, why have you become like this?"

"It's the price!" Wang Ye said!

"Price? What do you mean?" Ye Tianfan thought to himself, could it be that Wang Ye sacrificed himself just to send both of them out of the entire time node?

"I don't know why we left the time node, but once we exited, we arrived at your time point, which causes everything that comes out of the time node to age rapidly, by seven hundred years! I come from seven hundred years ago, so after aging seven hundred years, I've become like this!" Wang Ye said calmly!

Ye Tianfan, curious, asked, "If the time point goes back seven hundred years to your era, what would happen to me?"

Wang Ye laughed upon hearing this, then said, "You would disappear because you didn't exist seven hundred years ago!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan felt a chill of fear, fortunate not to have gone back seven hundred years; otherwise, he'd vanish without a trace, leaving no one to reason with, but thankfully he returned to his own time point.

Then Ye Tianfan looked at Wang Ye again and suddenly felt that thinking this way might be unfair. After all, Wang Ye at this moment had aged beyond recognition, if you just looked at Wang Ye now, you couldn't even tell he was once the somewhat handsome Wang Ye!

"What about those people from the ancient city? And my experiences, do they count as real?" Ye Tianfan asked! But he quickly realized he might have asked a redundant question!

"Those people from the ancient city, they're all weathered, aged seven hundred years in an instant; they simply couldn't bear such time!" Wang Ye said, "As for your experiences, yes, they're real. After all, I remember the time you experienced; you underwent hundreds of thousands of rescue attempts. Even though you recall only one, those hundreds of thousands of attempts truly existed!"

Ye Tianfan fell silent upon hearing this, it seems recalling only this one is good fortune, otherwise, if like Wang Ye, it seems Wang Ye has been driven insane many times within the time node, becoming completely numb!

Ye Tianfan guessed correctly; ever since Wang Ye awoke in the time node, he's gone insane about a thousand times, but after each episode, he gradually recovered.

"Do you know how I entered this time node?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously, as this question intrigued him greatly. He was merely flying normally; how did he inexplicably enter this so-called time node?

Wang Ye felt a bit embarrassed hearing Ye Tianfan's question and then said, "Actually, the reason you got into the time node, I think, was because I was trying to break free from the time node, causing time node fluctuations. And the point of this fluctuation burst forth exactly as you passed by and this ancient city's position, sucking you in!"

Ye Tianfan gave a wry smile hearing this, seems he was truly unlucky; had he been a moment later or earlier, he wouldn't have encountered that burst, but he happened to come across it while passing by—talk about bad luck!

"Since it relates to the time node, why is the ancient city's ruins filled with danger?" Ye Tianfan asked; logically, this shouldn't happen because since the time node took the ancient city, there shouldn't be another ancient city in the original place; like Master Dekuo said, it should be filled with danger, and earlier, he also felt a suffocating deathly atmosphere.

Even now, there's still a lingering atmosphere of death!

Wang Ye laughed upon hearing Ye Tianfan's question and said, "That's because the time node only took away the people from the ancient city and me, and the ancient city within the time node is just a projection created by the node itself."

"Projection?" Ye Tianfan nodded.

"As for the danger in the ancient city, that's because after taking the people, time will self-compensate. But because time took them, it has no own means of rescue, and because time can't rescue the ancient city, it keeps lingering here, slowly breeding countless Time Servants!" Wang Ye continued!

"Time Servants? What are those?" Ye Tianfan curiously asked!

"Time Servants, formed from beings who died due to time, are servants of short-lived time. To survive, they must absorb time, but time itself won't allow them, so they can only absorb others' time, absorbing the time of all living things they can see!" Wang Ye explained!

Ye Tianfan was startled upon hearing this!

Master Dekuo never mentioned this before; if he had ventured inside recklessly just now, he wouldn't even know how he died because he doesn't grasp time, let alone space, and encountering someone using time abilities, he'd be utterly defenseless!

Ye Tianfan felt a renewed chill, thinking back he looked gratefully at Wang Ye, for had he not warned him, he'd definitely have met his end!

"It's truly fortunate you warned me in advance, otherwise I'd have been doomed inside!" Ye Tianfan said with a bitter smile.

"Actually, those Time Servants inside have little impact on you!" Wang Ye said, "To be precise, you're immune to time lapse, time repeat capabilities!"

"Immune? Why?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously!

"It's time's compensation; barring special circumstances, aside from the time lapse of time itself, any time-based methods used by others are ineffective on you!" Wang Ye said!

Ye Tianfan didn't think much of this upon hearing it, hoping immunity from time lapse meant immortality, but he still ages; however, in today's cultivation world, not to mention time, even space involvement is rare, so Ye Tianfan didn't feel overly joyful!

"By the way, what will you do next? Since you're in the future, why not live well here? Would you like to join your future's Pingyue Sect?" Ye Tianfan asked!
