Sensing the aura of the Time Crystal, Qin Chen's mind was once again stirred by the dormant essence of time that had been lying quietly within him.
There was no need for Qin Chen to deliberately urge it; the essence of time had naturally formed a connection with the Time Crystal.
Buzz! Streams of time power swirled out from the Time Crystal and entered the essence of time.
This was the essence of time absorbing the power of the Time Crystal.
The essence of time was obtained by Qin Chen in the Divine Forbidden Area of the Tianwu Continent. Back then, top Saint Masters from the Heavenly Realm fought over this essence, but both sides perished. However, the divine weapon of the Heavenly Saint, the broken blade, had suppressed the essence of time for countless years, causing it to be damaged and requiring endless time to recover.
Previously, the essence of time in Qin Chen's mind had been slowly repairing itself, and the time power within the Time Crystal was precisely what it needed the most, which is why it was so excited upon sensing the Time Crystal.
Streams of time power were slowly absorbed by the essence of time, emanating a hazy light. Within it appeared countless mysteries, with various powers of time swirling, transforming in an instant as if experiencing the changes of the world.
At this moment, Qin Chen was highly focused, with countless magical thoughts swirling in his mind.
Various laws were evolving, and with the help of the All-World Demon Tree, he sought to comprehend the most essential aura of the essence of time.
In a daze, Qin Chen felt as if he had once again entered the river of time. This time, he was no longer swept away by the current, but had become the master of the river of time.
He saw his entire life, which was but a grain of sand in the endless time, yet it was unique for Qin Chen.
I! This is the first consciousness of any life that is born. Without "I," no matter how vast the river of time, what significance does it hold?
The heavens and earth are boundless, the universe undergoes changes, all that exists perishes through the ages, yet I remain boundless.
In the endless river of time, Qin Chen chanted. His body of divine powers seemed to burst forth, transforming into countless brilliant lights. In the midst of time, one law after another, one divine ability after another was born, and various emotions emerged. These divine abilities, these powers, and these emotions constituted Qin Chen.
He even saw the countless enemies he had slain throughout his life. Each of these enemies possessed the profundities, laws, divine abilities, and powers that he had mastered. All these powers had been comprehended, learned, absorbed, and mastered by Qin Chen, not knowing how much strength was contained within them. Now, all of it was unleashed, and Qin Chen was shocked by his own strength.
Qin Chen initially thought that these powers had all been integrated into his Origin Divine Ability, converting into endless origins, but under the laws of time, he finally realized that his Origin Divine Ability still had flaws.
Without time, how could there be origin?
Without origin, can time exist?
The two complement each other, continuously elaborating on the supreme principles of heaven and earth.
Boom! In Qin Chen's mind, it felt as if countless saints and deities were each proclaiming their teachings, creating a chaotic noise.
If it were an ordinary person, under such circumstances, they would have long been driven to madness.
However, Qin Chen remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain. The powers of time flowed around his body. In an instant, it was like a thousand years or ten thousand years, which would be worn away by time, turning to nothingness, becoming eternal. If one could not withstand this power of time, they would instantly be assimilated, becoming a ripple in the river of time, returning to nothingness.
But under the influence of the All-World Demon Tree and the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique, Qin Chen stood firm, with wisdom in hand, and there was not a single fluctuation of spiritual energy. His attention was completely immersed in the restoration of the essence of time, mastering the power of time.
