Chapter 83, Time Stands Still
At the 031 military base, Ye Muxuan put the huge box in front of him into his world ring. It contained a special substance that could restore a divine body.
The process of restoring the divine body of Suichen is divided into two stages. The first stage is the restoration of consciousness. For someone like Suichen who has reached the rank of Marquis, it is necessary to restore the divine body from 35% to 47%, which requires 450 billion Chaos Units. The second stage is the complete restoration, which is about 500 billion Chaos Units.
Inside the World Ring, a massive chest opened, and under the control of the World's power, a huge nutrient chamber, customized according to the values provided by Ye Muxuan, appeared next to the shattered dust. Inside was a pre-prepared nutrient solution, containing many precious substances that even a King wouldn't be willing to purchase. Among them, the most precious treasure was called the "Ice-Separating Fruit," which was worth 450 billion out of the 380 billion Chaos Units of precious substances.
Ye Muxuan placed the dust fragments into the nutrient chamber, pressed the button, and watched as the liquid inside the chamber completely enveloped the dust fragments. Then, fine bubbles began to emerge, seeping into the dust fragments' divine body bit by bit.
"It has begun." Watching all this unfold, Ye Muxuan remained completely calm. Even if he felt something, it was only awe for the universe and a need for strength!
The strong prey on the weak! Stepping into the battlefield beyond the realm, one must be prepared to perish! If Ye Muxuan loses, his fate will not be better than Sui Chen's. Of course, it will be difficult to drive him into a desperate situation; if it really comes to that, he will not hesitate to crush the token his teacher gave him.
Within the Dark Mark, the soul fluctuations belonging to Shattered Dust began to appear, growing stronger and stronger, and its divine body gradually recovered.
36%...37%...
Although the recovery of the divine body is slow, it is indeed constantly improving.
After three days, amidst the increasingly active soul fluctuations, at a certain moment, a pair of enormous eyes suddenly opened on the massive divine body inside the nutrient pod, revealing two pupils, one golden and one blue.
After its enormous eyes opened, the special substance within the nutrient tank was instantly absorbed, completely devoured, and transformed into a transparent liquid. The colossal divine body, nearly eight hundred meters long including its head and tail, flashed out of the nutrient tank and landed outside. Those enormous eyes reflected the tiny Ye Muxuan before it. Its forelegs, like giant icicles, knelt, its massive head pressed against the ground, its hundred-meter-long blood-red horn pointing at him. A deep, roaring voice echoed within its world ring: "Master!"
Ye Muxuan reached out and pressed his hand on the blood-red horn. Compared to his palm, even the very tip of this hundred-meter-long blood-red horn was too large to be grasped with both hands, and his palm could feel its roughness when pressed against it.
Of all the parts of the Broken Dust's body, this blood-red horn was the hardest, wrapped with blood-red runes. It was also the vessel through which it could unleash its strongest innate secret technique. In the past, a mere downward charge was enough to annihilate an opponent's immortal body. Although it wasn't a fatal part for a Marquis-level immortal, the blood-red horn was connected to its head, and being touched by it still made it feel uncomfortable.
"Very good." Ye Muxuan patted its blood-red horn, then casually took out a world ring containing the treasures he had purchased to restore Sui Chen's divine body. "Let's fully restore it first before we talk about anything else."
Dust doesn't understand the universal language of the human race, but after establishing a soul connection, it doesn't even need to speak; it can simply transmit information through its soul.
"Thank you, Master." The World Ring landed on the tip of the dust, its enormous eyes reflecting Ye Muxuan's figure, and blinked.
"Although I lost, my master was willing to spend a huge amount of money to restore me directly. He must be a very good master."
This is the horror of soul enslavement: deep within its soul, it believes that everything about its master is the best, and all of their actions will evoke its favor. It knows it has been defeated, knows it has been enslaved, but this does not diminish its reverence for its master; it may even believe that enslavement is the only correct way out.
That's why Palace Master Bai Feng told Ye Muxuan that he absolutely must not be enslaved, and that if he encountered an insurmountable danger, he should immediately self-destruct. Self-destruction would offer a chance of resurrection, but enslavement would mean absolutely no hope.
Looking at the submissive Sui Chen before him, Ye Muxuan's eyes flickered.
He is not just himself; he also has his people behind him, the hundreds of millions of Qingyuan people from three thousand tribes. Therefore, he will not allow himself to be enslaved!
"Let's restore your full strength first before we talk about anything else." In addition to the world ring, Ye Muxuan also tossed out an anonymous account for a virtual universe. "I'm going into seclusion for at least a hundred years. If you get bored after you've restored your strength, you can come into the virtual universe and have some fun. I've already granted you some access."
As Ye Muxuan's soul slave, he can unlock certain privileges. Besides, Sui Chen is only of a special life form, and the virtual universe doesn't impose as many restrictions on these powerful individuals as the other three major races; at most, it only involves monitoring.
However, this surveillance will be lifted once Sui Chen's slave status is confirmed. After all, soul slaves do not betray their masters, and the possibility that Ye Muxuan, who is under constant monitoring by the military system, has been possessed or enslaved is negligible; the possibility of him betraying his clan is essentially zero.
"Yes, Master." The deep, roaring voice contained joy, and Sui Chen's two different colored eyes sparkled.
The virtual universe—it's the largest virtual world in the original universe. You can log in from anywhere in the universe. No one can help but be curious!
……
Inside his residence, Ye Muxuan calmed himself down and, as usual, placed the sheathed Muying Blade flat on his knees. Then, he took out the Purple Dew and consumed a drop.
The Purple Dew melted instantly upon entering the mouth. In an instant, the obscure parts of the laws that had been difficult to comprehend over the years suddenly became clear. Furthermore, based on this, a new secret technique began to take shape.
The seventh volume of "Miscellaneous Essays on Qingying" brought back a wealth of research techniques and insights that flowed through his mind. With each thought, numerous insights exploded in his mind, and Ye Muxuan eagerly absorbed the nourishment to enrich the third secret technique.
Time passed unnoticed. At a certain moment, Ye Muxuan, who was practicing secret techniques in the virtual universe, had a sudden thought. Meanwhile, his true body, who was in his island residence in the military base, had a silver ripple appear between his brows, which covered the silver star points that were originally there.
This signifies that Ye Muxuan has gained a deeper level of recognition from the laws of time! It's no longer just basic acknowledgment of the fundamental laws of time, but rather a profound understanding of one of the three major categories of the fundamental laws of time: time stillness!
Generally speaking, among the immortals, those who can use time-stopping techniques, apart from those with racial talents—such as the Destroyer Beast which has this talent—and those who have cultivated special secret techniques, are mostly at the peak of the King-Sealing stage, such as King Tianyu, King Tongnan, and King Huanli. This is an incredibly heaven-defying ultimate move in the law of time, even more difficult than the "teleportation" of the law of space!
