198: Chapter 198 Comprehension of the Laws of Time, Return to Martial Soul City

Compared to the original work, the current Spirit City is dozens of times more prosperous.

Among the reasons for this, apart from it being the city where Yun Yuan achieved the status of the God of Qingtian...

...the introduction of various high-tech innovations was the most crucial factor.

After Yun Yuan became a god, to make his living experience in Spirit City even better...

...he directly introduced a large number of Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Continent to rebuild Spirit City.

In addition, after becoming a god, Yun Yuan would occasionally bring down some everyday high-tech products from the Divine Realm.

Today, tall buildings are everywhere in Spirit City.

If a Transmigrator were to come here, anyone unaware would think it was the Douluo III era.

Silves City is a major city close to Spirit City.

Yun Yuan and Ah Yin had already arrived here.

Looking at the familiar architecture around him, Yun Yuan recalled the scene when he tempered his Killing Intent at the Sylves Great Spirit Arena back then.

At that time, alone with a single spear, he challenged the entire Sylves Great Spirit Arena and made a name for himself throughout the city.

Returning here once again, Yun Yuan felt a surreal sense of nostalgia from revisiting a familiar place.

"Time is invisible, intangible, and unfathomable."

After sighing with emotion, Yun Yuan extended his palm.

A pure white speck of light rested in the center of his palm—this was his insight into time accumulated over this period.

Upon arriving in Silves City today, the pure white speck of light in his palm grew slightly larger once more.

After undergoing the Nirvana method and during this period of traveling with Ah Yin...

...he had not been idle either.

Even before consuming the Dao-transforming fruit and undergoing Nirvana, he already possessed insights into eight elemental Laws—water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, darkness, and space—as well as the Law of Creation.

However, if he wanted to break through all daos with brute force, these nine Laws were still not enough for Yun Yuan.

He still needed insights into more Laws.

The Law of Time was precisely the next Law Yun Yuan intended to comprehend.

His comprehension of time had been ongoing ever since he woke up.

Revisiting old places was a great way to comprehend the Law of Time.

As he walked with Ah Yin through the places he had once traversed...

Yun Yuan's heart would be touched, bringing him certain insights into the Law of Time.

"A-Yuan, look quickly! That is the Sylves Great Spirit Arena where the God of Qingtian made his name in a single battle back then."

Holding Yun Yuan's hand, Ah Yin looked towards the Sylves Great Spirit Arena with a face full of joy.

"I heard that when the God of Qingtian was weak, he once used money as bait here to test his spear across the entire Great Spirit Arena."

"This story has already become the calling card of Silves City."

Ah Yin held Yun Yuan's hand while introducing it to him.

She was worried that Yun Yuan might not know about this legendary deed of the God of Qingtian.

However, as the creator of the story, Yun Yuan knew the process of this matter better than anyone else.

How could he possibly need Ah Yin to introduce it to him? This completely inverted the natural order.

After finishing, Ah Yin stopped and gazed in the direction of Spirit City.

"A-Yuan, do you think that when we reach Spirit City tomorrow, we will get to meet the legendary God of Qingtian?"

"I've admired him for a long time. If I see him, I'll definitely ask him for an autograph."

Ah Yin's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Perhaps."

"However, I didn't expect you to admire the God of Qingtian so much."

Yun Yuan glanced at the admiring Ah Yin and thought to himself:

"Silly woman, still asking him for an autograph? You've held his hand more than once, why would you care about an autograph?"

"Tomorrow, I should reveal my identity to her and, at the same time, bid farewell."

After returning to Spirit City, Yun Yuan naturally wouldn't continue traveling the continent with Ah Yin.

If Ah Yin still wanted to travel the continent, he would give her some life-saving means.

After all, during this period of time, he had also regarded this gentle yet somewhat goofy and silly woman as a good friend of his.

In this world, how many friends did he, Yun Yuan, really have?

Beside him, upon hearing Yun Yuan's words, Ah Yin said to him with full reverence:

"Of course! A-Yuan, you don't know this, but I used to be a Spirit Beast, and I've seen too many scenes of mutual slaughter between Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters."

"However, after the God of Qingtian established the Spirit Pagoda and popularised Soul Spirit technology, the Spirit Beasts of the Douluo Continent no longer had to face the danger of being hunted. They could become partners fighting side by side with Spirit Masters."

"Although those of us who are 100,000-year Spirit Beasts still face some danger, the God of Qingtian's contributions to our Soul Beast Clan go without saying."

"Any Spirit Beast that understands the deeds of the God of Qingtian and knows how to think for the Soul Beast Clan will revere the God of Qingtian."

As her voice fell, Ah Yin looked at Yun Yuan and suddenly caught sight of a melancholic and sorrowful expression on his face.

This caused Ah Yin's heart to panic instantly.

She hurriedly took Yun Yuan's hand in her two small hands before her chest, her expression unprecedentedly serious.

"Actually, A-Yuan, the person I admire the most is you. The God of Qingtian is just someone I admire comparatively."

"You must not misunderstand; my feelings toward the God of Qingtian are purely out of admiration."

After saying this, a faint blush rose on Ah Yin's cheeks.

Only then did she realize why she had just said those things to Yun Yuan.

Could it be that she had really fallen in love with Yun Yuan?

At this moment, Ah Yin's heart was exceptionally chaotic, completely unable to sort out her own emotions.

"Oh~ Ah Yin, turns out I'm that amazing. In your heart, I've actually surpassed the God of Qingtian."

"Then I'm quite proud of myself."

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yuan's mouth, and he immediately began to tease Ah Yin.

"Narcissistic, shameless."

Ah Yin muttered under her breath, her tone sounding just like lovers playfully flirting with each other.

"Very well, Ah Yin, your guts have grown bold! How dare you make fun of me? I'm going to strip you of your Spirit Bone."

"Jiejiejie."

The iconic villainous laughter spilled from Yun Yuan's mouth.

But this couldn't scare Ah Yin.

"Hmph, you still want to scare me? A-Yuan, do you think you're the only one who knows how to laugh like Jiejiejie?"

"I can do it too."

"Jiejiejie."

Ah Yin tried hard to put on a fierce look, and the iconic villainous laughter also spilled from her mouth.

But this appearance was fierce yet adorable.

Let alone scaring others, she might just melt people with cuteness instead.

"No, I'm dying of laughter. Ah Yin, your true form must be a Husky, not Blue Silver Grass. How can there be such a goofy 100,000-year Spirit Beast?"

Seeing this, Yun Yuan couldn't hold back the laughter in his heart, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly.

Hearing Yun Yuan mention the Husky, Ah Yin didn't know what kind of Spirit Beast it was.

But judging from Yun Yuan's expression, it certainly wasn't any smart Spirit Beast.

"A-Yuan, you're mocking me! I'm going to bite you to death."

Ah Yin directly lunged forward with a flying embrace, wrapping her arms around Yun Yuan and giving him a bite on the neck.

...

The next day, the two finally arrived at the most prosperous city on the Douluo Continent.

Spirit City!!!

As soon as they entered, dense skyscrapers filled the view, and Ah Yin looked around incessantly like a country bumpkin.

All kinds of novel things broadened Ah Yin's horizons.

The prosperity of Spirit City was something that major cities like Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City could not compare to.

"A-Yuan, you've finally returned."

"However, it seems you've also brought back a new sister for us."

The moment Yun Yuan returned, Gu Yuena, located inside Spirit City, was the first to sense it.
