“Cool!”

Lin Ye secretly praised in his heart.

“After upgrading, durability will be automatically refilled. As long as I have enough time crystals in the future, I can use the resurrection armor continuously without cooldown.”

“No!”

“With a 45% durability consumption, if I save it, I can already revive twice now.”

Behind him.

Bai Shuya walked over: “Can you make keys now?”

“Yes.”

Lin Ye had finished his tasks and instructed, “Tu Xiusi, you might be a bit busy recently, but the daily opening hours here won't be long. At least during the space-time storm, the area needs to be cleared.”

“Your Excellency is too kind. It is our greatest honor to serve you,” Tu Xiusi replied sincerely.

The way he said that.

Lin Ye almost felt embarrassed. After giving a few more warnings about precautions, he set off alone towards the cliff.

…...

“It looked so close when I saw it from afar before?”

Lin Ye ran for almost a minute and still hadn't reached the foot of the mountain.

No kidding.

He really ran for over a minute, hadn't even reached the foot of the mountain, let alone climbed it.

“What's my speed? Over 1000 meters per second. I've already run dozens of kilometers, yet I don't even feel like I'm getting closer?”

As the saying goes.

“Looking at a mountain can make a horse run to death.”

But isn't this too much?!

“Wait, this isn't a distance problem, is it…”

Lin Ye realized.

No matter how far this place was, it couldn't make him unable to run, unless… there was a problem with space!

Think about it.

Why would a seemingly not-so-tall cliff be able to block the roaring Star Sea?

Tu Xiusi chose to live here certainly because this place could withstand the Star Sea tides and storms.

Turn back!

Lin Ye didn't have spatial abilities, so even if he ran here for a lifetime, he probably wouldn't be able to get out.

“Hiss~ Reverse Time!”

Lin Ye let out a low cry.

Without dying, he forcibly activated the time skill.

The next instant.

The space-time in front of him began to distort.

Lin Ye remained motionless in place, but the time his body was in had rewound to 60 seconds before.

“I hope I didn't actually run for a minute just now, otherwise…”

“Without spatial abilities, it's easy to get in, but hard to get out. I'd probably have to call for rescue.”

“What I'm afraid of is that even if rescue comes, they might not be able to find me.”

The lost durability was not a concern.

It could be replenished.

But Lin Ye could not accept any accidents.

Turning back.

With a few quick flashes.

Lin Ye returned to Newbie Village.

Thankfully, he got out.

“The Forgotten Land, this dungeon has so many dead ends. Getting trapped in any random spot means certain death!”

Lin Ye returned to the blacksmith's shop and asked Dou Dou to call Liddell over.

“Is there a spatial barrier or a trap on the cliff?”

Liddell was slightly surprised.

“Have you been there?”

“There's a Mirror Corridor set up by Lulu there. If you don't have certain spatial abilities, you'll never be able to get out.”

Is that really true?

Lin Ye frowned secretly: “Lulu, who you just mentioned, is the name of that monster?”

“Yes.”

Liddell nodded and said:

“The Void-Derived Beast, Akru, was once a mount carefully cultivated by Temwar, but after experiencing a catastrophe, it lost its master and became lost in the space-time torrent.”

“Now, it no longer recognizes us at all, only instinctively guarding the cliff, waiting for its master who will never return…”

Temwar?

It should be a force in the empire that controlled spatial abilities, right?

The NPCs in this village must have belonged to this force before, which is why Tu Xiusi and the others possessed such excellent spatial skills.

“Your Excellency, may I ask if you are going to… to deal with it?” Liddell asked with a complicated expression.

“Definitely. We cannot let it affect the production of star dew,” Lin Ye replied.

“That's right…”

Liddell's expression was somewhat sorrowful.

“Actually, although Lulu has lost her memory, she is still loyally guarding the empire. In these years when we didn't have the Star Tower, it was she who helped us block the winds and waves on the cliff…”

“If possible, I would like to implore Your Excellency to grant her a dignified death, after all, she has fulfilled her duty.”

Hmm?

Lin Ye's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, “You said it was originally a mount, so if there's a way to capture it, it's not necessarily required to kill it.”

“Impossible, Your Excellency.”

Tu Xiusi, upon hearing this, helplessly shook his head and said:

“A Void-Derived Beast will only be loyal to one master in its life. Let alone us, even if someone from the Temwar family appeared in person, it would be impossible to re-subdue it.”

Liddell showed a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth: “We have tried countless times over the years…”

Speaking of which.

Liddell suddenly paused:

“That's right!”

“Your Excellency, if its memory can be awakened, with your noble status, although you cannot subdue it, it might be possible to command it, as long as you can make it leave the cliff.”

Lin Ye listened and thought it had some possibility, worth a try.

“What's the specific method?”

Tu Xiusi immediately scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this.

“Actually, we don't have any good methods. We can only try to stimulate it with severe injuries.”

Severe injuries?

So, not killing it?

Are you kidding? That's harder than killing it directly, isn't it?

Lin Ye originally had no spatial abilities, and just now he almost got trapped in the trap, not even seeing what the BOSS looked like.

“How about I take you all to try? Although I don't master spatial skills, I can provide damage.”

Liddell directly shook her head.

“No, Your Excellency.”

“Lulu's territorial awareness is too strong. At most, we can only hide using spatial means and secretly gather some star dew. She doesn't attack because she sees we have no hostility and we are members under Temwar.”

“If too many people go, it will immediately cause her to go berserk, not only greatly increasing the difficulty. Moreover, if a berserk Lulu sees failure, she will immediately self-destruct, causing spatial tremors!”

Hiss~

Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue upon hearing that.

It's still a solo mission?!

Then there's no hope.

Lin Ye simply said, “Since there's no way, let's just leave it for now.”

Tu Xiusi saw this and tentatively asked:

“Actually, Your Excellency can still try. I have a space locator left from back then, which can help you locate your direction in the Mirror Space and find Lulu's position.”

“Additionally, the locator also works for spatial skills.”

Ah!

Liddell suddenly thought of something, her face showing joy as she said:

“That's right, Your Excellency, Lulu was created by Temwar. It's difficult for us to deal with her using the same spatial abilities, but if we have the help of time abilities, the success rate might greatly increase~!”
