Chapter 139: Chapter 125 Inherent Time Control_2
“This is also why the base needs the ‘Chosen One’; it seems the fragments nearby are still quite active…”
Huang Jian explained while some thoughts flickered in his eyes.
A world with a large number of natives and, apparently, not a bad level of technology?
This was good news for him!
Tao Yu and the others babbled on in the common language, causing An Zhijie next to them to show a bewildered expression.
Aren’t you my fellow countrymen? What kind of bird language are you speaking?
Then he also started to notice Huang Jian’s mechanical arm, saw Nuosen’s towering figure and his unusual full-body armor, along with Cao Shaolin with a zombie-like face hanging on the Empress and the unsightly Wino.
The fully armed outsiders, the Pioneers behind them, also looked somewhat abnormal.
And the various alien tails hanging from everyone, which caused An Zhijie to feel some familiarity, then stealthily glanced at Little Black’s tail next to him, completely unable to grasp the current situation.
“This… have I crossed into another world?”
An Zhijie was somewhat astonished.
As a modern person, and with Korean comics about traversing other worlds and fantasy comics being prevalent, An Zhijie’s reaction speed was top-notch.
Suddenly a rainforest descended from the sky and filled the sea; what else couldn’t be accepted?

“You’re quick to accept it; your world seems quite nice, already starting to pursue spiritual enjoyment,” Nuosen said with a voice deep as a jug.
“How about we take the chance while it’s not yet chaotic over there and have a good time?”
Nuosen looked up at Tao Yu, who was on the Empress’s back, and asked tentatively.
“Let’s go and have a look first, but whether we can have a good time is another matter,” Tao Yu said.
Encountering a new world, Tao Yu didn’t mind exploring it first.
In the early days, when pioneering the base, he had obtained a fragment of the ‘Heart of the World’ and gained his third talent!
During the pioneering phase, there was a chance to gain unexpected surprises; anyway, his goal was to make money, and [Fist Intent] was waiting for him.
It wouldn’t hurt to take a look.
Glancing at Huang Jian’s team, with so many people around, the margin for error was still manageable.
It was just a shame that Tao Yu had only watched some Korean comics and movies like Train to Busan that were internationally known; he wasn’t sure if he would encounter a world he recognized.
But while traveling, [Bullet Time] could be deified a bit, just in case.
Riding on Da Hei, some of the reactions during deification could be concealed, as talents and skills were different—they did not increase combat strength directly. Based on previous experiences, it should just cause a brief spell of dizziness due to a mismatch in vision.
It would be suppressed by [Spiritual Immunity]…
With his gaze focused on [Bullet Time], Tao Yu slowly exhaled a breath.
Then a massive amount of Yuan Force poured into it in an instant!
His originally plentiful Yuan Force instantly plummeted to less than twenty thousand.
And the metamorphosis of this talent was also slightly different from the second deification of a skill.
A strange feeling rose directly from the depths of his soul, and as Tao Yu saw the world become clearer in his eyes, he also seemed to perceive another odd material.
It was like water flowing everywhere, with lines crossing through all things in the world!
And for me, a circular closed-loop line appeared on its own, which was connected to those lines in daily life, maintaining synchronicity. But whenever I wanted, I could manipulate a large amount of mental energy to complete the self-loop!
Original Time!
Also known as Inherent Time, the unique time in the space-time region I occupy! It’s also the only time within this closed-loop.
[Bullet Time??] (MAX): The original innate ability has been further enhanced in all aspects. Once the ability is actively initiated, I can clearly see where in the Original Time I am, and consume mental energy to intervene and make certain adjustments.
“Damn, this consumption is too intense.”
Tao Yu felt it slightly and was also somewhat astonished.
It was fortunate that the second deification of Bullet Time was completed now. With skills like [Meditation Technique], [Basic Breathing Method · Revised Second Edition], [Myriad Streams Breathing Method], and [Myriad Streams Stance Skill · Revised Second Edition] to fill the gaps in fundamental skills, I could barely manage to have some control over it.
If one were missing, I would likely only be able to temporarily make this talent a display piece, at most employing the enhanced abilities of [Bullet Time].
But now, although the consumption was equally high, I could at least mobilize it at critical moments!
On top of using my [Bullet Time], it was further enhanced. And when necessary, I could directly intervene in the Original Time zone I was in, based on Bullet Time.
It allowed me to accelerate further, ignoring physical constraints like bodily load and inertia!
Theoretically, if the intervention of Original Time is strong enough, achieving an effect similar to teleportation in the eyes of others is possible!
“In terms of consumption, using it twice should be no problem, four times would be strenuous, and I don’t know if I could reach ten times with a one-time complete burnout, but even if I did, it would probably only be for a fraction of a second.”
Based on the information from the skill, Tao Yu perceived and made some simple judgments in his mind.
Without a doubt, this was a divine technique!
This was a multiplier added out of thin air after reaching the limit with all my abilities!
Even the most extreme tenfold for a fraction of a second meant compressing several seconds’ worth of actions into an instant burst.
In matters of life and death, who needs to count by seconds?
Thus, using it at critical moments was absolutely enough.
Never had Tao Yu imagined that a visual talent could transform into a time talent. Even just scratching the surface was incredibly against the heavens.
However, this ability did have another ‘shortcoming’, which was that because of the complete closed-loop of Original Time, it stripped itself out.
So even if my speed externally looked faster, in theory, the inertia, impact force, and lethality were still based on the conditions within my closed-loop.
When the closed-loop finally broke and the attack arrived, there was no way to benefit from the added lethality that the speed provided.
Just as, theoretically, a curvature engine could surpass the speed of light, yet it would not break the physical rules, nor give the spaceship the infinite inertia of light speed.
And through Tao Yu’s perception and understanding of the time loop,
he broadly grasped that the steps involved stripping away the Original Time to form a closed-loop, and after accelerating, reintegrating with the original space-time to complete the attack.
If the original space-time was too strong or, to put it another way, the target’s mass oppressed the original space-time, it would increase the difficulty of reintegration. In such cases, it would more likely be utilized for evasion.
At the same time, as my own strength enhanced, the consumption under Original Time intervention would also increase. It should still allow the use time and multiplier to increase slowly, though not at the same rate as the increase in strength.
The increase in speed just could not proportionately match the rate at which my strength improved.
“However, I don’t think there’s the kind of big shot who can pressurize space-time that I would encounter right now. As for consumption, it doesn’t matter; I intended it as a trump card for critical moments anyway, which is more than sufficient.”
“Even with more shortcomings, this is already a top-tier talent, and it represents a significant step forward on the ‘assassin’ path. I don’t need [Bullet Time] anymore.”
Tao Yu pondered for a moment, and then the name of the talent instantly changed.
[Inherent Time Control]!
