Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo
Chapter 336: The Flow of Time, Past and Present Life
When Chen Yao saw the long river, his first reaction was the River Styx, but then he realized it was not the same.
The Styx and this river are both conceptual rivers, and neither of them has real water.
However, the Styx is gray, filled with dark energy and various souls.
This river is different. With its colorful colors, no one would think it is a soul.
However, the space where the two are located is very similar.
But Chen Yao did not see any trace of the River Styx.
But this is not the reason why Chen Yao knows that it is not the River Styx.
Chen Yao’s first reaction when he saw the river was the River of Time, but he couldn’t explain why.
This was the concept he had after he entered, as if he had already known it.
“Time is related to divination… It doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
Chen Yao thought so.
Then he began to explore this long river.
Since he was using divination to touch the Tao, Chen Yao would naturally use divination to mobilize the things in this long river.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao used the divination technique from the Shang Dynasty.
Suddenly, a ray of divination emerged from Chen Yao’s hand and went towards the river of time.
But Chen Yao’s contact this time was different from Yin Li’s.
When Chen Yao’s divination method came into contact with the river of time, it did not draw out splashes similar to the divination space from it, but directly attracted a stream of time.
Chen Yao had never seen the situation when Yin Li was fortune-telling, so he thought it was normal. But then, when he found that his own divination skills were gradually being eroded and covered by the flow of time in the long river of time, he finally felt that something was wrong.
“Shouldn’t we use divination? What does this spread mean?”
Chen Yao looked at it for a long time and always felt that something was wrong, but when he wanted to evacuate Bu Zhidao, he found that it was impossible.
The Dao of divination seemed to be absorbed by the flow of time, unable to advance or retreat.
Chen Yao cursed inwardly, “Oh no!” and was about to evacuate this space when he found that his consciousness was not capable of making this operation. He could only watch helplessly as the flow of time slowly spread over his Dao of Divination.
At the same time, in Wanzu Village, a colorless and invisible stream of time appeared within Chen Yao’s body.
Within the entire Wanzu Village within a radius of tens of millions of feet, all living creatures, including the demons that were still active at night, and even the moonlight shining on the area, all came to a standstill.
This situation was as magical as local rain. A demon that happened to be on the dividing line curiously reached out its hand and touched the other demon, and then it also stopped.
Thus, in this large area centered on the Wanzu Village, only the strong winds in the strong wind layer above one million feet were still blowing at a much slower speed than before.
Apart from that, everything was quiet.
This stream of time on Chen Yao’s body disappeared from the spot shortly after it appeared.
The surroundings returned to normal.
During this short period of time, all people, animals, aliens, and demons had no idea that time had just stopped.
It seems that in their eyes, time is always continuous.
At this moment, in the space where Chen Yao was, a stream of time suddenly appeared, lingered around Chen Yao’s body, and then merged into Chen Yao’s consciousness.
Immediately, Chen Yao’s divination method began to change, becoming the same color as the flow of time.
When Chen Yao’s divination method was transformed into the flow of time and merged with the flow of time in the long river of time.
In an instant, countless images appeared in Chen Yao’s consciousness.
Millions of people are worshipping in the picture.
An enormous corpse fell from the sky, surrounded by countless runes, crushing the strong wind.
There was a divine pillar hidden in the void of heaven and earth, which single-handedly held up the fall of the celestial corpse.
A tribal leader flew up into the sky, with all kinds of Taoist auras spreading around, heading towards the corpse that was stagnant in the strong wind layer, but he was unable to break through the defense.
A celestial corpse opened its eyes, the earth broke apart, and the divine pillars transformed into countless totems that shot towards the celestial corpse. The celestial corpse broke apart and turned into pieces that fell to the earth.
Evil spirits are born.
At a certain moment, the divine pillar reappeared. After most of its body was shattered and the black fog that covered the sky was dispersed, the remaining body of the divine pillar merged into the void and disappeared.
In another space, a broken divine pillar fell into a colorful river.
The divine pillar was washed away by the long river, its spiritual light dissipated, and its huge body gradually became smaller and smaller. When it was about to be washed away, a ray of spiritual light appeared in the pillar that was less than ten feet high.
The divine pillar rushed out from the long river, carrying with it a stream of time and breaking through the limitations of the void.
Immediately, a pillar disappeared in the long river, and a stone pillar appeared in the hundred thousand mountains.
The flashback ended, and Chen Yao gradually regained consciousness.
After looking at the flow of time that was connected to himself for a long time, Chen Yao sighed.
“Is that so?”
After Chen Yao’s predecessor destroyed himself after saving the world, his consciousness dissipated and his real body has been hidden in the long river of time, gambling on a glimmer of hope.
It would be great if I could be reborn in the long river of time.
Unfortunately, although the predecessor had good intentions, he underestimated the power of the long river of time. After being washed away by the long river of time for a long time, his own consciousness was also erased.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to wait until it was only ten feet in size before coming out of the long river of time.
However, it is precisely because consciousness has been erased that the flow of time in the long river of time can penetrate in little by little, trying to assimilate the pillar.
As a result, when there was only a little bit of energy left, Chen Yao’s intelligence was born.
At this time, Chen Yao was both a pillar and the flow of time. After making its judgment, the River of Time did not know whether to continue washing away Chen Yao. In the end, it could only expel Chen Yao from the River of Time.
This is how Chen Yao woke up.
This is also the reason why Chen Yao knew that it was the long river of time as soon as he came in here, and why the flow of time would crawl towards Chen Yao along the path of divination.
Originally, this matter was a dead end. If the flow of time discovered that Chen Yao’s consciousness had been separated from the flow of time, then he would be covered by this flow of time and dissipated in the long river of time.
But because the way of divination is a branch of the way of time, this just happened to touch the flow of time hidden in Chen Yao’s body.
Based on the way of divination, the flow of time in Chen Yao’s body was directly integrated into Chen Yao’s own way of divination. Only in this way could he block the flow of time in the long river of time.
“So, am I following the Way of Divination or the Way of Time now?”
Chen Yao was puzzled, and he mobilized the flow of time connected to himself.
Looking at the flow of time that fluctuated freely with his will, Chen Yao felt that this should not fall within the scope of divination.
After playing for a while, Chen Yao decided to see what he could do now, whether he could see his future, and whether he could see the seven colors that Yin Li mentioned.
Chen Yao’s thoughts changed, and the flow of time began to wrap up Chen Yao’s consciousness and entered the long river of time.
Scenes flashed through Chen Yao’s mind, including one of him transcending tribulation, one of him dispersing water mist, and one of him appearing somewhere in the Shiwanda Mountains and fighting with a group of winged birdmen. Although there was no specific information, Chen Yao still found it magical.
This situation continued until a certain point in time. When he saw the ten kinds of Dao essences around him, he finally understood what color Yin Li was talking about.
However, the seven types mentioned by Yin Li are not complete, because there are three more types of Tao essence that have no color but exist in reality.
Just when Chen Yao wanted to take a closer look at the more detailed content of this part, he found himself retreating.
The picture became a line, and in a blink of an eye he was excluded from the long river of time.
“This is…” Looking at the colorful river of time, Chen Yao understood.
“This means that the way of time he has mastered is not enough for me to continue watching. However, it is much better than Yin Li who can only predict the color.”
Chen Yao was smiling and preparing to leave the long river of time. Before leaving, he suddenly saw the small splash of water that was independent of the long river of time.
“Divination space?”
Chen Yao cut off his connection with the long river of time and explored the past with the flow of time.
As soon as he touched it, he saw the appearance of the divination space in the water splash.
In the divination space, most of the tortoise shells have stopped working, and the cause of this is the cracks distributed in the space.
Chen Yao even felt that as long as he had a thought, this divination space would be completely shattered and fall into the long river of time.
From now on, there will no longer be such a thing as divination space.
However, Chen Yao did not do so. Looking at this divination space, Chen Yao suddenly had an idea.
After leaving the divination space, Chen Yao’s consciousness returned to his body.
After opening his eyes, Chen Yao prepared to experiment with his previous idea.
With his divine sense sweeping over, Chen Yao saw the big wolf, Xiong Er and other monsters fighting the white tiger in the Forest of Beasts. Immediately, his Way of Time dispersed and covered that place.
At this moment, countless images appeared in Chen Yao’s eyes. They were the attack actions of the big wolf. These images were ten seconds earlier than the actions in the big wolf’s world.
Chen Yao can accurately control the prediction time and adjust it within ten seconds.
That is to say, if Chen Yao stood there and did nothing, unless the big wolf used large-scale magical powers, it would be impossible for it to touch a single hair of Chen Yao.
“It is a powerful ability for a warrior, but for him who is fighting with Dao essence now, it is a bit of a waste to use this ability here.”
Chen Yao moved his mind and found Xiao Mo.
At this time, the lightning scars on Xiao Mo’s body had not yet recovered.
It’s not that the recovery is slow, but Xiao Mo needs to comprehend the power of the thunder, so these scars cannot be healed.
“Xiao Mo!”
When Chen Yao’s divine thought came over, Xiao Mo trembled all over on the spot.
Looking at Xiao Mo’s timid look, Chen Yao knew what it was thinking.
“Okay, don’t be afraid. I’m not asking you to be struck by lightning.”
Chen Yao appeared in front of Xiao Mo, looked at the relieved Xiao Mo and said, “I have a new ability, you can try it.”
Xiao Mo: “???”
“Zhu Shen, why don’t you go find my eldest brother?”
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he saw Chen Yao shaking his head.
“No, you’re the only one who can do this. Stop wasting time and shrink it down to a size of ten feet first.”
Xiao Mo’s grievance shrank, and then he was wrapped up in Chen Yao’s flow of time.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mo’s movements suddenly stopped.
But if you look closely, it didn’t stop, but became very slow.
“The speed of time flow should be ten to one.”
Chen Yao thought so, created another clone, and then stepped into the time cage he had constructed.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Mo’s speed returned to normal.
“Pillar God, what’s going on?”
Xiao Mo looked at Chen Yao’s clone’s small movement outside which was accelerated ten times, and asked in confusion.
Chen Yao also saw the clone he created.
Clearly, he was just controlling his clone to raise his hands a few times, but from inside, it looked like he was waving his arms quickly.
Feeling satisfied, Chen Yao told Xiao Mo about the situation here.
Xiao Mo’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
“So, I can use one day as ten days here?”
“That’s right, but I can’t keep this time cage going forever. You can probably only stay here for five days. During these five days, try to comprehend the power of the thunder and see if there is any difference from normal conditions.”
“it is good!”
After Xiao Mo agreed, he continued to comprehend the thunder, while Chen Yao walked out.
Looking at his masterpiece, Chen Yao nodded with satisfaction.
“It can be used not only in combat, but also as a form of training. However, this method is not suitable for me.”
Feeling the remaining flow of time, Chen Yao had an urge to add some fire of faith to it.
“Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s wait and see. Wait a few more days. It won’t be too late to upgrade until you have more fire of faith. By then, the subordinate tribes of the Gold Clan will have been gathered together. If we upgrade together, we can continue to comprehend the next Tao.”
Looking at the totems on his body, Chen Yao said with a smile.
But then he thought of something.
“Why have those barbarians been silent for so long?”
Chen Yao was curious. After he killed two people before, a group of people came quickly. Why didn’t they come now after he killed a group?
After thinking about it and recovering for a while, Chen Yao entered the time river space again.
This time, he didn’t look at himself, but at those barbarians!
The flow of time enveloped Chen Yao’s consciousness and threw him into the long river of time again.
This time, Chen Yao didn’t think about looking far ahead, but just about two or three days ahead.
But just doing this also consumed a lot of time.
After all, this time it’s not about him.
Looking at others also requires a flow of time to search.
Not long after, Chen Yao saw Man Yi and the others.
At this time, Man Yi and his companions were on a rift valley.
Twelve barbarians, not one less.
But what they did made Chen Yao puzzled.
Looking at the barbarians who were being monitored by Man Yi and others and jumped into the crack one after another, Chen Yao had an idea and pulled his vision upwards.
Then, he saw the barbarians who were so densely packed that there was no end in sight.
All these barbarians were jumping towards the crack.
And that crack has no end in sight!
“What are you doing?”
With doubts, Chen Yao wanted to enter the crack and take a look.
As a result, not long after his vision went down, his consciousness began to blur, which was a sign that the flow of time was not enough.
Just before being pulled back, Chen Yao saw a giant black hand exposed above the underground magma!
