Chapter 676: Chapter 9: The Rise of an Overlord Across Three Worlds (10,000+)_3
“Are you underestimating me?”
Wang Sheng smiled, a drop of blood coalesced into a Ninth Realm incarnation.
Even without breaking through Refining God and Returning to Void, he already possessed the combat strength of the Ninth Realm, and after his breakthrough, his power had greatly increased, so how could he not manage this.
“The incarnation is already condensed; what should I do next?”
[You should be able to manipulate the Time Dice simply, right?]
“Of course, I can use the most basic functions.”
The Time Dice represented the past and the future.
To control the power of time was naturally terrifying.
Xu could only utilize it simply.
And he had even less control, but there were no problems with basic manipulation.
[Take the Time Dice to the Heavenly Saint Star, lever the Power of Space-Time surrounding the Heavenly Saint Star. When the time comes, I will take action to conceal time on a deeper level.]
“Is it that simple?”
[After all, the Heavenly Saint Star can now be considered a part of Source Star, so naturally, it can be done. But to say it’s simple, you’ll know when the time comes. This could also be an opportunity for you. If you’re lucky, you might be able to comprehend the Power of Space-Time.]
“Power of Space-Time, time and space?”
[Yes, you can surely feel how dense the Power of Space-Time is on the periphery of the Heavenly Saint Star. If you have the aptitude to comprehend space-time, in front of such dense power, there will naturally be gains. It’s like if you are a Sword Cultivator with extraordinary talent entering a place filled with Sword Dao True Intent, you would also make considerable gains.]
“Talented enough?” Wang Sheng chuckled internally; setting aside everything else, with a progress bar mechanism in place, there was nothing he couldn’t comprehend, “Alright, then let’s begin!”
With a thought, the Ninth Realm incarnation moved and arrived at the Heavenly Saint Star in an instant.
The Heavenly Saint Star had been entirely peaceful for a year.
Although Lifeless True Saint had suddenly declared that the Heavenly Saint Star was now a subsidiary to Source Star and would send envoys to take control, there were no actions for an entire year.
They could not help but suspect that the Lifeless True Saint had forgotten them.
Originally, this would’ve been a good thing for a planet since nobody wanted an Overlord appearing above their heads.
But as time passed, a growing sense of crisis dominated the hearts of most beings; realizing they might die at any moment, they only hoped the True Saint would show up soon.
In the midst of such apprehension, a majestic and great aura enveloped the entire Heavenly Saint Star.
All beings could feel it.
The perpetrator of all this was naturally Wang Sheng.
With the power of the Ninth Realm, covering a planet was far too easy.
“I am Wu Sheng; you should already sense your destiny, the outcome of this event is due to…”
Wang Sheng briefly explained the situation, of course, without mentioning the affair of the treasure.
He simply stated that “Heavenly Saint” retained some mechanisms on all the beings of Heavenly Saint Star for power. After he had dealt with Heavenly Saint, the mechanisms couldn’t be removed instantly. This time, the goal was to resolve any potential future troubles.
“Next, all beings will see the marks ‘Yesterday’ ‘Today’ and ‘Tomorrow’ on themselves. Those with ‘Today’ are worry-free and can act freely; those with ‘Tomorrow’ will fall into slumber and should find a place on their own; and those with ‘Yesterday’… enjoy the last decades of life, and if you’re lucky, there may be a chance of being saved.”
This is why he had his power cover the entire Heavenly Saint Star, to facilitate identification and operation, and it was essentially a form of marking.
Regardless of what the beings of the Heavenly Saint Star thought,
His actions began, directly pulling the Virtual World he had condensed to the Heavenly Saint Star.
With the Refining God and Returning to Void progress reaching twenty percent, and the expansion following the introduction of extraneous thoughts, the newly divided Virtual World was completely capable of covering the Heavenly Saint Star.
And at this point, the beings of the Heavenly Saint Star were extremely nervous.
Although Wang Sheng’s words were not clear, one thing they understood very well.
That is, if the mark ‘Yesterday’ appeared, it meant waiting for death.
For ordinary people, it was okay; lived decades was quite normal. However, for cultivators, even those who stepped into the Second Realm, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Everyone was praying silently in their hearts.
But the reality wouldn’t change because of prayers; as the Virtual World expanded, no one could escape from Wang Sheng’s scrutiny.
About a quarter of an hour later, every intelligent being had a mark on the palm.
“Thank goodness, I am ‘Today,’ I’m saved, thank goodness!”
“Old man, I’m also ‘Today,’ though it doesn’t make much difference to me.” For an older commoner, apart from the mysterious ‘Tomorrow,’ whether it was ‘Today’ or ‘Yesterday’ was the same.
“Why am I ‘Tomorrow’? What does slumber mean?”
“Why am I ‘Yesterday’? I’m in the Third Realm, with over a hundred years to live and even the potential to break through, yet now I’m left with just decades?”
“It can’t be possible; it’s a conspiracy; he wants us to die, definitely, I don’t believe this!”
The multitudes of beings showed diverse reactions.
“No, even if I have to die, I’m going to take a few with me.”
Some who were originally deceitful refused to accept such outcomes, wanting more people to share their fate.
But under the cover of Wang Sheng’s power, how could they possibly act?
To prevent unexpected events, as soon as his power was unleashed, everyone was already confined.
Wang Sheng looked at the markings on countless beings with an indifferent expression.
It wasn’t that he wouldn’t help; this was the best possible outcome. If there was anyone to blame, blame it on bad luck.
“Yuan, it’s starting!”
[Good, you start by leveraging this Power of Space-Time!]
Wang Sheng nodded, then took out the Time Dice.
The Time Dice, a six-sided die, radiated a faint glow. Having been refined, it had already formed a certain connection with him.
