Chapter 669: Chapter 8: Time Dice, the Consequences of Stealing Time (part 2)
Following that, the Human Saint concentrated all his mind and spirit.
The fusion of the Three Saints progressed even faster.
But at the last step, the entire space seemed somewhat congealed, and the fusion of the Three Saints appeared to have hit a certain bottleneck.
“Indeed…”
The Human Saint sighed in his heart; this was why he had been reluctant to undertake the fusion prematurely.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and suddenly three dice appeared in the void.
Under his manipulation, the three dice started to draw closer and gradually merge.
And along with the dice, the figures of the Three Saints merged as well.
…
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng asked Xia Yang and the others to rise. They looked towards Wang Sheng but could only see a layer of fog, beyond which nothing could be discerned.
Xia Yang was not surprised; after all, a True Saint is not easily visible to just anyone.
“True Saint…”
Actually, ever since coming out of the Faith World, Wang Sheng’s attention had not been on his believers, but focused on the planet itself.
Though he was of the Eighth Realm, which wasn’t his peak strength,
he could see much more than before.
He had once descended using Xia Yang’s body and left behind the Wind and Rain Summoning Technique. At that time, he used Xia Yang’s strength as the base, so he didn’t discern anything.
But now, he could clearly see the Heavenly Saint Star.
“It is indeed as Yuan said, the Heavenly Saint Star possesses a protective shield, and this shield doesn’t just envelop the planet… and the source of its power seems familiar.”
Although his strength was of the Eighth Realm, his Primordial Spirit, after undergoing Refining God and Returning to Void, was immensely powerful.
He analyzed the energy of the protective shield in an instant.
Of course, being able to analyze it so quickly was largely due to having seen this kind of energy before.
“Time-Space River…”
“The protective shield of the Heavenly Saint Star is related to the Time-Space River; no wonder the cross-world tunnel took longer to open than I had expected?”
Although his main focus was on the Faith World, he had always been paying attention to the cross-world tunnel.
According to his estimation, the tunnel should have been able to open two years ago.
But it still wasn’t fully open even now.
At the time, he didn’t care too much.
Because with the existence of the Faith World, he needed Yuan to assist him, allowing him to bring down the power of the Ninth Realm as a precaution, so a delayed opening wasn’t a problem.
At first, he thought he had underestimated the Starry Sky Rules, but now it seemed there was another reason.
“The Heavenly Saint Star is enveloped by time-space, making this side’s time-space more stable; thus, severing the chains is more difficult… but how exactly does the Heavenly Saint Star manage this?”
The Time-Space River, after all, doesn’t seem like something the Heavenly Saint Star can use.
However, he was even more certain that the person who had peeped at him downstream of the Time-Space River last time was indeed from the Heavenly Saint Star.
He became vigilant in his heart and had Yuan prepare at all times.
At this moment, Xia Yang’s call of “True Saint” roused him.
He was quite satisfied with Xia Yang.
This man was powerful and had attracted over a million believers in three years, and he himself existed almost like a Holy Spirit.
“You’ve done very well.”
“For the True Saint, no effort is too great.” Blushing at the praise from the True Saint, Xia Yang had a hard time containing his excitement.
Wang Sheng nodded and said, “This time I have come to resolve the issue with the Heavenly Saint Palace.”
Xia Yang was even more excited, for he carried a burden of hatred.
Although he’d been developing the sect over the years, he had not forgotten.
He knew that the True Saint would not forget about this matter.
“Thank you for the True Saint’s mercy!”
Wang Sheng didn’t say much more but directly left with Instant Teleportation.
What he needed to do first was to resolve the issue with the Three Saints.
When he had left, the believers finally relaxed.
“Was that the True Saint? Despite being obscured by the fog, one could still sense his greatness.”
“This life has already been made worthwhile!”
Having calmed down, Xia Yang looked at the believers and said, “The True Saint has only gone to resolve a world’s malign tumor; he may return, so maintain your demeanor.”
As his words fell, the believers regained their composure.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng was hurrying towards the Heavenly Saint Palace, well-aware of its location from Xia Yang’s memories.
However, he did not get far before noticing something amiss.
“It seems someone is interfering with my progress… have I been discovered?”
Wang Sheng wasn’t surprised at being found; he hadn’t concealed himself, so being discovered was quite normal.
As for the one taking action, without thinking, he knew it was the so-called “Heavenly Saint.”
“Using spatial chaos to interfere, quite a clever tactic. If it weren’t for my understanding of space, I might have actually been fooled.”
Wang Sheng, with his Breakthrough six times in his Qian and Kun, understood space excessively well.
Simple spatial tactics posed no issue for him.
But he had to admit that while they could not trap him, they indeed affected his speed.
Because the interference wasn’t just spatial tactics, but also temporal ones.
When space and time combined, even if the person behind it couldn’t use much, it still caused trouble.
Of course, amidst these troubles, Wang Sheng also gradually identified some issues.
As Yuan had mentioned, this world was actually a fusion of three layers of space, seemingly housing all living beings in the same space, but in reality, they were merged using methods.
This was one of the tactics disturbing him.
Using different spaces to interfere with his direction.
And as for the power of time—
Wang Sheng looked at the creatures on the ground, divided into three parts; it wasn’t just space that was split.
There was time as well!
“Although these creatures seem to exist in the same timeline, in reality, they come from different time-spaces, past, future, and present, intersecting to create such an extraordinary sight…”
Wang Sheng grew inwardly solemn.
An enemy capable of achieving this was surely no simple foe.
Nonetheless, he didn’t harbor much fear in his heart.
