âGray Ancestorâ is just like that; the exploration of endless years has finally allowed Him to comprehend His own Origin Dao, becoming a Second Realm time lifeform.
It was only while passing near the Milky Way dimension that âGray Ancestorâ occasionally glanced towards the Milky Way dimension and discovered that the recently condensed Heart of Heavenly River was extremely unusual and would, in the distant future, transform into one of the raw materials for a lord-level weapon.
Every extended epoch, the Milky Way dimension would condense a Heart of Heavenly River. The previous Hearts of Heavenly River were relatively ordinary, only this recently condensed Heart of Heavenly River has the potential to become a lord-level weapon material.
Of course, to discover this, one must delve deeply into the future timeline observation. As a Second Realm time lifeform, âGray Ancestorâ far exceeds a First Realm time lifeform in terms of timeline observation.
Therefore, He discovered in advance the uniqueness of the recently condensing Heart of Heavenly River.
"Whatâs the matter?"
âGray Ancestorâ spoke in a calm tone.
The reason He didnât seize the Heart of Heavenly River Himself but instead commanded the time lifeforms of the Milky Way dimension to act was that this was the future timeline âGray Ancestorâ saw as having the best hope of successfully obtaining that Heart of Heavenly River.
If âGray Ancestorâ acted directly? A Second Realm time lifeform descending to seize the Heart of Heavenly River would likely incite hostility from all the resident time lifeforms within the Milky Way dimension.
Leading to a scenario where they join forces to resist this Second Realm time lifeform.
Besides, treasures like the Heart of Heavenly River shouldnât ostensibly attract a Second Realm time lifeform.
If âGray Ancestorâ forcibly took action, it would prompt the multitudinous time lifeforms within the Milky Way dimension to reassess the value of this Heart of Heavenly River.
The fact that âGray Ancestorâ could discover the distinct nature of this Heart of Heavenly River in advance is primarily due to His farther observation of the timeline and also because other First Realm time lifeforms have not expended much effort or cost to observe the newly born Heart of Heavenly River.
After all, several Hearts of Heavenly River have been condensed previously in the Milky Way dimension without any notable peculiarities.
But if âGray Ancestorâ took action, the situation would be different. Given their sensitive nature, time lifeforms would immediately infer numerous reasons before conducting an in-depth timeline observation.
Once the true value of the recently condensed Heart of Heavenly River is revealed, the attracted Second Realm time lifeforms would not be limited to only Him, Gray Ancestor.
It is precisely because of the aforementioned reasons.
Even with an intense desire for that Heart of Heavenly River.
Gray Ancestor absolutely cannot act Himself, nor can He reveal even a hint of His own whereabouts.
A Second Realm time lifeform making every effort to conceal Himself makes it challenging for a First Realm time lifeform to detect much in the future timeline.
They would only feel the future timeline becoming blurred and distorted, with many results being quite indeterminate.
But this is also normal; involving the future timeline of time lifeforms is always like this.
...
"We canât do anything about those seven time lifeforms from the Chaos Void."
The Master of Taixu looked at âGray Ancestorâ and said straightforwardly.
"Canât do anything?"
Gray Ancestor frowned but didnât say much.
He too has observed the future timeline many times and knows well the troublesome nature of that âLord Mo Xuâ from the Chaos Void.
But if the Master of Taixu truly couldnât do anything, that would be too modest.
Itâs merely a reluctance to pay too high a cost.
If the nine time lifeforms from the Taixu dimension truly went all out against the seven time lifeforms from the Chaos Void in desperate combat,
the latter would most likely concede voluntarily, as thereâs no need to perish together with the Taixu dimension over a Heart of Heavenly River.
"I obtained this treasure from trading inside a certain lordâs domain."
Gray Ancestor raised His hand, and a palm-sized ax floated before Him.
This ax appeared exceptionally small, yet the faint aura it emitted was enough to alarm ordinary First Realm time lifeforms.
"This treasure?"
The Master of Taixuâs eyes turned solemn.
He could feel the terror of this ax; though it could only be wielded a few times, it was entirely possible to heavily injure a First Realm time lifeform.
"I have already shrouded this item with the power of time, making it impossible for ordinary First Realm Shisan tiers to observe in future timelines; you just need to activate it at the crucial moment."
Gray Ancestorâs words were succinct.
The cost He had already borne to obtain that Heart of Heavenly River with lord-level potential was considerable.
"Naturally so."
The Master of Taixu flashed a smile.
This is the dreaded aspect of time lifeforms traversing countless epochs.
Itâs not just a matter of enhanced strength but also an increase in the variety of contingencies and backdrop gains from the many places explored.
"I hope you donât let me down."
Gray Ancestor cast one last glance at the Master of Taixu before His figure disappeared.
...
Gazing at the palm-sized ax before him,
the Master of Taixuâs features fell into contemplation.
Evidently, âGray Ancestorâ was intensely eager for that Heart of Heavenly River.
The latter surely had something special about it, distinct from past condensed Hearts of Heavenly River.
But the Master of Taixu didnât care about these details; he focused on the conditions âGray Ancestorâ set for him.
"Lord Mo Xu..."
The Master of Taixu sneered.
With this palm ax in hand, facing Lord Mo Xu, taken by surprise, he had a full chance of heavily injuring the opponent.
And once Lord Mo Xu was severely injured, the other time lifeforms were of little concern.
Then, by completing the transaction with âGray Ancestor,â he could also secure the treasure he desired.
...
Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, dividing part of His mind to select suitable vessels for descent in the Third Source World.
The rest of His mind continued observing His own future timeline.
"Hmm?"
Simultaneously exploring hundreds of future timelines, Lin Yuan immediately spotted the images of the seven time lifeforms in the Chaos Void within the Milky Way dimension.
"Milky Way dimension? Heart of Heavenly River?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed; compared to what a First Realm time lifeform like Lord Mo Xu could see on the future timeline,
the timelines Lin Yuan was watching were much clearer. With the blessing of lord-level status, many concealed pieces of information couldnât be hidden from him.
"This?"
Lin Yuan saw in a certain future timeline, the Master of Taixu fighting against Lord Mo Xu, finally raising His right hand, a palm-sized ax appearing, chopping toward Lord Mo Xu.
This strike gravely injured Lord Mo Xu, forcing the other time lifeforms into a retreat and escape.
The time lifeforms of the Chaos Void side suffered heavy losses, being besieged by Taixu dimension time lifeforms, ultimately resulting in even one time lifeformâs main battle body being entirely left behind.
"This ax?"
Lin Yuan watched as the Master of Taixu employed that palm-sized ax at the end.
The timeline expanded, and Lin Yuan quickly saw âGray Ancestorâsâ existence, His purpose for such actions, and the true value of the recently condensed Heart of Heavenly River.
"A Heart of Heavenly River with the potential to become lord-level material?"
Lin Yuan mused thoughtfully, then promptly summoned Lord Mo Xu and six other time lifeforms.
...
"Galaxy."
"Galaxy."
Moments later, the time lifeforms, including Lord Mo Xu, descended into incarnations, appearing before Lin Yuan.
"Over on the Milky Way dimension side..."
Lin Yuan looked at the time lifeforms without any pretense, "You cannot handle it."
With a Second Realm time lifeform like âGray Ancestorâ orchestrating, the time lifeforms on the Chaos Void side would face severe losses with the slightest negligence.
"Cannot handle it?"
Lord Mo Xu was shocked.
He too had been paying great attention to the Milky Way dimension, constantly watching the future timeline.
Yet he hadnât discovered a scenario he couldnât handle.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded, "Having a Second Realm time lifeform secretly influencing behind the scenes, itâs normal for you not to notice."
