493: The past, frozen in time again.
"If I could be killed, would I be slain by a single strike of your sword?"
Ye Su's tone was somewhat unfriendly.
He.
His current self-preservation ability was already on the same level as The Three Giants.
Unkillable.
"Not necessarily."
The Sword Master said,
"At most, I would just use one strike to seal you away."
An Absolute Supreme Expert has many options.
If He can manipulate you into death, then He can certainly manipulate you into life.
There was a bond of friendship between the Sword Master and Ye Su.
It was appropriate for Him to deliver this sword strike.
If the Cang Master had acted,
Ye Su might have turned hostile.
Of course.
It would also be appropriate for the Dragon Venerable to act.
But the Dragon Venerable could not easily take action on the surface of the Chaos Sea.
He was invincible in this world; once He acted, it would cause countless worlds to restart.
"Still a bit short."
The Dragon Venerable said,
"You are still a bit short of reaching our level."
"So, do you want to attain the Dao?"
Hearing this, Ye Su's throat moved slightly.
Who wouldn't want to?
But he couldn't think of a way.
The Golden Finger had been utilized.
Achieving an invincible body.
But his talent hadn't been used. Ye Su wasn't stupid; he knew his talent would be a key factor.
However... his path had gone astray at the beginning.
His class hadn't advanced or leveled up.
He was left holding a talent with no path to follow.
"Take a look at this, and then listen to my thoughts."
The Dragon Venerable flicked a speck of light to Ye Su.
Ye Su took it and began to examine it.
A moment later.
He was greatly shocked!
"I... I intercepted someone else's Golden Finger!"
Ye Su was dazed.
But truth be told,
A Golden Finger like 'Future Letters' was incredibly overpowered.
As long as you didn't collapse in the early stages, you could just coast later on.
Countless future selves would cultivate for you.
You could directly seize their abilities and use them as soon as you got them.
And if you developed it further later on...
Heh.
An invincible body.
"What? Do you have a Heart Demon?"
The Sword Master laughed.
Ye Su shook his head.
A Heart Demon?
Was it to deny his own efforts throughout this journey?
The Golden Finger was invincible.
But ultimately, it was his own choices that laid this foundation.
Choices are more important than luck.
Otherwise, if you joined the Nationalists in '49, no matter how great your skills, you'd still have to kneel!
"All along this journey, it has been entirely my own hard work."
Ye Su smiled.
As soon as he said this,
Several of them laughed.
Well, everyone still had something in common.
What Golden Finger?
That's my talent!
What good luck?
It's all due to hard work.
Then turning around: System, add points for me!
"Now, do you have any ideas on how to attain the Dao?"
The Cang Master asked.
Ye Su shook his head.
The Golden Finger had been developed to its limit.
Which was the invincible body.
But to truly attain the Dao, he still had to rely on his own talent.
Damn it.
Transcendence, how on earth are you supposed to be used?
"In that case, I have an idea."
The Cang Master took a deep breath and said,
"You know the significance of the main timeline, right?"
"Currently, you are not on the main timeline; you are being restricted."
"However, there is already one main timeline now."
"So—"
"We will try to integrate all the timelines."
"In this way, only the main timeline will remain."
Ye Su was stunned.
Timeline integration.
How could those disrupted pasts be unified?
He wasn't worried about the present.
The Dragon Venerable was the stabilizing force.
With Him there, the present could be converged.
And the future—right, the future was his responsibility.
"In other words, the timeline will begin to converge from the past."
Ye Su said,
"Then it will compress and force the future, ultimately making the future uncontrollable, unknown, and a place where no one can stand!"
"Is that right?"
At this moment.
All the time threads on Ye Su's body were trembling.
They were frantically rejecting it.
Because.
If the future became a place where one could not stand,
Then Ye Su would be cutting off his own retreat.
His power came from the future.
The Three Giants.
They had sinister intentions.
At least, that's how it looked in the eyes of the future Ye Su.
"Basically, that's it."
The Cang Master said,
"Being an Absolute Supreme Expert is itself an all-in gamble."
Ye Su fell silent.
He finally had a comfort zone, and now, to take a step further, he had to leave it.
And leaving the comfort zone could mean death!
This was a difficult choice.
"Actually, I still have a choice."
Ye Su said.
The hearts of The Three Giants skipped a beat.
Attaining the Dao—how difficult it was.
It was normal for Ye Su to choose the safe path.
Not everyone dared to easily go all-in.
Loss was too terrifying.
It was normal for Ye Su to make such a choice.
On the other side.
He Luo, inside the mechanical sphere, was working so hard he was sweating profusely.
Ye Su was mobilizing endless computing power.
To calculate what would happen after the timeline integration.
"Master... this... this is impossible to calculate."
He Luo said,
"We cannot perform deductions on the unknown."
"The evolution of the Dust Universe cannot proceed in this direction either."
"In fact, there are vague results indicating that this is an infinite loop."
"We—"
"I understand!"
Ye Su's eyes lit up.
Looking at The Three Giants who were about to leave,
Ye Su spoke up directly,
"Wait!"
"I think we can give it a try!"
He had boldly changed his mind.
The vague result was an infinite loop?
The Golden Finger was the Reincarnation Dao Fruit?
Hey.
He could take the gamble!
Ye Su firmly believed that there weren't many coincidences in this world.
The Three Giants were stunned.
Why did he change his mind all of a sudden?
"You are—"
The Cang Master was puzzled.
"There aren't many coincidences in the world."
Ye Su raised the speck of light in his hand and said,
"And it seems you all aren't bored either."
"Even an Absolute Supreme Expert has things to do."
"At the same time, even an Absolute Supreme Expert cannot control the future."
"For you, an unknown future is what makes it challenging."
"And for me—I am also unwilling to be ordinary!"
Quite interesting.
The commonality of the strong is that
they will not remain silent!
Truth will be silent, the weak will be silent.
But the strong will not.
The strong will only fight you!
"This is a huge gamble for you, but for us, it is the same..."
The Cang Master said.
Then.
An animal hide appeared before Him.
The Sword Master's eyes glanced at it; this thing once had a connection with Him.
But no need to mention it.
The Cang Master's fingers moved slightly.
And then He wrote in the Void Realm.
He was writing—history!
Those past timelines, those things that happened in the past.
They were being written, being frozen!
Yes.
Frozen.
Once frozen, the past cannot be changed.
This scene.
Even the Dragon Venerable had to look sideways.
The past can be recovered, the future can be changed.
But now.
The past was irrecoverable!
At this point.
Even the Dragon Venerable had to let out a sigh.
An irrecoverable past would leave even a Supreme Expert with regrets.
And regrets.
Would freeze the humanity of a Supreme Expert.
Because in any life, there will eventually be some slight regrets.
Family, love, friendship, and some sentiments— "Are we, in the end, creators or destroyers?"
The Flower Master murmured;
"Is an unchangeable past perhaps too cruel?"
"Compared to a future that can be manipulated, this isn't cruel at all."
The Sword Master said;
"After all, having the future manipulated is the true cruelty—a life where you can see the end in a single glance."
"Sigh—"
Ye Su remained silent.
Every Supreme Expert had an unspeakable story.
Watching the past being frozen.
Ye Su also felt a deep sense of sighing in his heart.
