175: Chapter 175 Traversing Time, the Laws of Space and Time

"Sorry to trouble you, making you come all this way."

On Star Island No. 78, Chen Mo smiled and nodded to Cheng Long.

"It's nothing, just part of my job."

Cheng Long, who had come from the Blue Cave headquarters in the Main World, was all smiles as he handed the storage bracelet to Chen Mo.

"These are the Rank 6 resources you applied for."

"Good."

Chen Mo took the storage bracelet, and as his Divine Sense swept through it, he nodded slightly. "Everything is correct."

"As long as it's correct." Cheng Long chuckled, then looked at Chen Mo's Star Island No. 78 with envy.

As a commissioner specializing in delivering important materials for Blue Cave, Cheng Long visited The Stars quite often.

After all, besides Chen Mo, there were many other contracted Geniuses from Blue Cave in The Stars.

Of course, these people couldn't be compared to Chen Mo; the highest among them only had an a-rank contract.

"Then I'll take my leave. I'll leave you to your business."

Cheng Long unconsciously used a respectful tone, and it didn't feel out of place at all.

"Alright."

Chen Mo didn't bother with further pleasantries. After seeing Cheng Long off the Star Island, he couldn't wait to return to his Divine Domain.

"Finally, it's here!"

Inside the Longevity Blessed Land, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the longevity immortal stone, with two storage bracelets floating in front of him.

Both storage bracelets were brought to him by Cheng Long, though there was a difference in their timing.

The one on the left contained the special resources he had applied for from Blue Cave when he made his Rank 5 Breakthrough, while the one on the right was what Cheng Long had just delivered.

"seventh-tier divine power card."

Chen Mo first took out the seventh-tier divine power card that came with every resource quota and crushed it directly.

In an instant, a full 1,000,000 Divine Power flooded into his Sea of Consciousness, replenishing his somewhat strained Divine Power reserves.

After finishing this, Chen Mo didn't stop. With a shift of his Divine Sense, a metal test tube appeared in his hand.

"One hundred and six million... True God-tier spirituality is truly expensive."

Chen Mo thought, feeling a slight sting in his wallet.

This item didn't come from his s-rank contract resource supply; rather, he had asked Xie Wei to purchase it through Blue Cave's internal channels, and Cheng Long had brought it along the way.

"Don't rush! Don't rush!"

The moment the spiritual reagent appeared, the Death Knell in Chen Mo's Divine Soul acted as if it had taken a stimulant.

With a flash of light, the Death Knell appeared in Chen Mo's hand.

"Crack!"

The test tube shattered instantly, and an illusory projection of a Kael Race True God appeared at that moment.

In fact, for the Death Knell, using a deeply processed spiritual reagent was somewhat wasteful.

The primary use of this item was as a main material for refining Demigod or even True God-level Spirit Machines.

However, there were no True God-level Kael Race remnant souls for sale on the market. This spiritual reagent, refined from a Kael Race remnant soul, was only obtained after Xie Wei searched through many channels.

"Eat up!"

Chen Mo chuckled and shook his head, completely letting go of his control over the Death Knell.

In the blink of an eye, a familiar scene unfolded again.

Under the despairing gaze of the Kael Race true spirit, the Death Knell pounced like a hungry wolf, and before long, it had completely torn apart and absorbed the Kael Race true spirit.

At the same time, a speck of crystalline light fell and drifted into Chen Mo's hand. It was none other than a "Concept Bullet."

"One hundred million credit points for a one-month temporary buff... it's truly a bit extravagant."

Chen Mo raised his right hand and gripped the Death Knell directly.

After consuming this Kael Race True God spirituality, the Death Knell's growth value increased by another 15%.

Although there was no fundamental change, the value of a divine relics that could steadily grow was beyond doubt.

It was only because Chen Mo currently had many resources that hadn't been liquidated yet and his cash flow was limited; otherwise, he would have forced the Death Knell directly into the rank of a high-tier relic.

"Bang!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo fired a shot at his own forehead.

Today was July 11th.

It had been 28 days since he last used a Concept Bullet, so "renewing the ticket" now was just the right time.

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality!"

Chen Mo put down the Death Knell and shook his head with a light laugh.

The special buff provided by the Concept Bullet was quite powerful.

Whether it was Chen Mo himself or the followers within his Divine Domain, they all benefited immensely.

To give the simplest example, without the boost to his Comprehension Ability from the Chaos Blessing, the gains from refining the godhead crystal would definitely not have been so significant.

The higher the Comprehension Ability, the greater the gains from refining the Law Origin.

Based on this point alone, the hundred million credit points spent on the Kael Race true spirit had already paid for itself, not to mention that the Chaos Blessing also had a buff to accelerate the growth of his followers.

"Now for the main event."

Chen Mo withdrew the Death Knell into his Sea of Consciousness and once again turned his gaze toward the two storage bracelets in front of him.

With a slight thought, the only remaining items in the two bracelets appeared before him.

One was a flower stamen that flickered between light and dark, constantly blooming and rapidly withering, only to bloom again after withering.

The other was a semi-transparent black stone that caused constant fissures in the surrounding space even while remaining perfectly still.

Third-grade Time Spiritual Item: Ephemeral Brilliance!

Third-grade Space Spiritual Item: Void-Trace Meta-Crystal!

These two treasures were the special resources Chen Mo had applied for from Blue Cave for his Rank 5 and Rank 6 stages.

Only a top-tier financial group like Blue Cave would stock such rare spiritual items that could never appear on the open market.

"I hope this works."

Chen Mo prayed silently, then extended his Mental Energy into the interior of the two spiritual items and detonated it instantly.

In an instant, everything within a hundred-meter radius of Chen Mo came to a standstill. Space fissures spread everywhere, with one even reaching his front.

But Chen Mo remained indifferent, as a continuous stream of Mental Energy along with Divine Power surged like a tide toward the two spiritual items, forcing them to fuse.

"Now."

A sharp light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and grabbed at the two spiritual items that were now indistinguishable from each other.

As his right hand drew closer, the powers of time and space struck out continuously.

His originally fair right hand was instantly covered in wrinkles and then sliced inch by inch by invisible space blades.

Before long, Chen Mo's right hand and part of his forearm were reduced to nothing but white bone.

But perhaps because he had cultivated the White Bone Dharma Image, neither time nor space could harm the hand bones in the slightest.

And Chen Mo finally grasped this "fused spiritual item" formed from the two third-grade spiritual items.

That's right. From the very beginning, Chen Mo never intended to follow either the path of Time or Space individually.

What he wanted was the most difficult and strongest Great Dao of Law beneath the four top-tier Laws...

Space-Time!

[Ding! You have obtained the Law of Time; current comprehension: 0.003%.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Law of Space; current comprehension: 0.004%.]

[You are attempting Law Fusion!]

[Please note: The difficulty of this Fusion is extremely high. Failure will result in a severe Law backlash.]

Ignoring the System prompts, Chen Mo continued his single-minded refinement of the Space-Time Origin released after the Fusion of the two spiritual items.

Compared to the Law Origin within a godhead, the Origin power released by the two spiritual items was clearly purer, but the quantity was extremely small—not even one-hundredth of a godhead.

But for Chen Mo, this was already enough.

The reason these two third-grade spiritual items were precious was not just because of their Time and Space attributes, but also because they were the most suitable spiritual items to serve as a Law foundation.

This would greatly increase Chen Mo's success rate in mastering the "Space-Time" Law.

Even so, Chen Mo didn't have a hundred percent certainty, but this still couldn't stop his determination to walk the "Space-Time" Great Dao, or rather... his ambition!

Yes, ambition!

Without cultivating Space-Time and harmonizing with the Dao, one cannot achieve the top-tier Laws.

The four top-tier Laws: Chaos, Fate, Reincarnation, and Nothingness.

The prerequisite Laws required for each might differ, but they all shared one common prerequisite: using "Space-Time" as the foundation.

In a daze, an illusory River of Time appeared before Chen Mo.

The starting point of the river was him, and the endpoint of the river was also him, but it was another him.

In this not-so-long River of Time, Chen Mo saw his own life.

The first half of this life was very ordinary: working, playing games, playing games, working, until he transmigrated to this world.

"Come, I'm waiting for you."

Across the river, that youth who looked exactly like Chen Mo spoke with a light smile, his gaze warm and filled with expectation.

"Alright!"

Chen Mo also responded with a smile on his face, nodding as he took a step forward.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a roar, the originally incredibly stable River of Time began to ripple.

An invisible resistance tried to stop his progress, but Chen Mo still firmly took a second step.

At some point, a pale purple godhead covered in fissures appeared above Chen Mo's head.

As its radiance flowed, the power preventing his progress vanished, and Chen Mo used this to take dozens of steps in succession before... stopping once more.

At this moment, an even stronger resistance appeared, such that even the Plague godhead could no longer support Chen Mo's advance.

"Is it not enough?"

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

"Crack!"

A soft sound came from deep within his soul, and an object incredibly familiar to Chen Mo emerged—none other than the chaos cube.

As soon as this object appeared, it turned into a streak of light and merged into the Plague godhead, allowing Chen Mo to take another several dozen steps forward.

Yet it was still not enough; at this point, he had only crossed half of the River of Time.

"Again!"

Along with Chen Mo's low shout, another object emerged—it was the phantom of the Death Knell.

"Again!"

An illusory continent emerged; this was... the Plague Divine Domain.

"Again!"

Chen Mo's gaze was resolute as he forged ahead.

Countless phantoms had already appeared behind him and were slowly solidifying.

Blood One, Zero, Iron One, the divine wood of life...

Mutated Species, Jikai Race, Blood Beasts, Gu insects...

All the followers who held faith in Chen Mo manifested at this moment.

Invisible threads of faith, like an ocean or a tide, pushed him forward.

But similarly, the resistance in front of Chen Mo grew stronger and stronger; as he walked slowly, blood even began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm here!"

Chen Mo laughed maniacally as he took the final step, arriving in front of "himself."

"Keep it up!"

The "Chen Mo" at the end of the River of Time responded with a light smile, his figure instantly dispersing into countless points of light that surged toward Chen Mo.

[Ding, you have comprehended the Law of 'Space-Time'.]

The System's notification sounded, and the River of Time beneath Chen Mo's feet shattered in an instant.
