"This kid..." Yellow Ancestor and Silver-Moon Ancestor had already arrived in the Immortal Sovereign Palace, which was now completely devoid of any beings from the palace itself.
They were observing Grey, who was currently sitting cross-legged in the air.
Grey believed there was no better opportunity than this.
With the Fragnt protecting him, he could safely gain comprehension over the law of ti.
[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By absorbing the already comprehended insight into the law of ti, you have gained comprehension into the law of ti.]
[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By absorbing the already comprehended insight into the law of ti, you have gained comprehension into the law of ti.]
The following mont, sothing snapped inside Grey.
It was a complete power reset.
[Your comprehension defies the heavens! Your comprehension over the law of ti has reached minor succession.]
[Your comprehension defies the heavens! Your comprehension over the law of ti has reached major succession.]
[You have unlocked power over ti.]
[You have gained the power of temporal control.]
"That’s all? No abilities?" Grey blinked in speechlessness.
[It is the Heavenly One. It set a rule barring anyone from learning a specific ability from the ti law.]
[It is pretty hard to crack. I have been trying to crack it for a while, but the thod it used is far more advanced than the one I used when I was the Heavenly Dao.]
"Hm." Grey looked thoughtful as he opened his eyes.
The laws after major succession stopped giving one distinct abilities. This was because the leap to advanced succession relied on refining raw mastery rather than relying on fixed skills. Furthermore, there was only one stage above advanced succession: Great Circle. This stage signified the law and the user forming a complete cycle, grasping the law as their absolute own.
Right now, if he wasn’t wrong, all the ancestors at the 8th rank must have comprehended a law to the Great Circle to reach their current power, and there could only be one Great Circle being per law in the universe.
Going to other universes was also a viable option to bypass this limit.
"Now, let’s test what I can do."
Grey’s vision flashed, and the next mont, he saw a grey colored current flowing around him.
"Huh." Grey disrupted the flow out of curiosity. Using temporal control, he pushed frequential power into the current, and it imdiately broke.
Boom!
The instant the flow was disrupted, the world flashed grey.
Ti was stopped!
This ti stop held no physical strain over him. However, with each passing mont, the energy in his source was being rapidly consud to prevent the ti currents from restoring themselves, as the world actively tried to break out of Grey’s temporal control.
Ten seconds, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty... once it hit the sixty-second mark, Grey’s overall energy was completely emptied out.
But the Fragnt used its power to restore his energy back to full just as quickly.
As soon as ti resud, Silver-Moon Ancestor asked with a dumbfounded expression, "Did you just stop ti?"
Ti had stopped for them as well. Because Grey was not using borrowed power, he was quite literally halting the natural flow of ti in this world. They were able to sense the gap in ti, because borrowed their power from the Origin Will, but they could not do anything about it due to the Fragnt’s interference. He temporarily made them unable to do anything about the ti stop.
Grey didn’t reply to the ancestors; he wanted to test sothing else out.
But just then, the Fragnt’s cautious voice rang out.
[You absolutely cannot go forward in ti or into the past. Your existence is not powerful enough to bear the weight.]
"Huh? Why?" Grey frowned.
He had finally reached major succession, and he couldn’t fulfill his dream of ti traveling?
[Divergence lines,] the Fragnt spoke.
"Divergence lines?" Grey tilted his head.
[Yes. Divergence lines. Commonly known as World Lines.]
[Each ti you use your ti power to go forward or backward in ti, you are essentially creating a new world according to the rules of the endless reality.]
[It does not matter how short the jump is. The instant you skip forward or shoot back into the past, a divergence is created from the main world, forming a separate reality. You are essentially jumping into that new reality when you use the law of ti. But in the original tiline, the ’Grey’ there would have never traveled in ti. Considering the fact that you have no one to support you, like the Dao of Ti or the Origin Will, the divergence line created by your choice will beco your sole responsibility. Your current existence is not powerful enough to hold the weight of an entire world and if you can’t hold the weight, you will collapse from it.]
[But... this is only normally applicable to those bound by space and ti who use the actual law of ti.]
The Fragnt sounded bewildered as it observed Grey closely.
[This does not apply to you. Because you, Grey Lockhart, can only exist in one space-ti continuum.]
[There are multiple divergence lines around the main world where so tilines have already reached their finality, but not a single one of them contains you. It is like the world you are currently in is the only real one, and any other world that does not contain you is inherently fake.]
[I do not know what will happen if you go forward and use your ti powers.]
[Won’t the main world be destroyed if the theory of skipping to the diverged line applies to you?]
"Why would it be destroyed?" Grey was confused.
[Because the main world acts as the anchor. Since you are a fateless anomaly, whichever tiline you exist in is automatically treated as the true main world. If you create a divergence line and jump to it, the original main world will be overwritten and destroyed. World destruction leads to a massive loss of origin energy.]
[Hence, if my calculations are right, each ti you skip through ti, you will destroy a main world and cause an origin loss. By your twentieth ti skip or so, the entire universe would have lost so much origin energy that it will be entirely erased from existence.]
Boom!
"The Heavenly Dao is correct." Just then, an ethereal voice drilled directly into Grey’s mind.
"Origin Will." Grey’s expression changed drastically.
