Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

"The fusion of three time-spaces is ultimately an illusion, even the 'Time Dice' have reached their limit..."

On his way back to Heavenly Saint Star from the starry sky, he briefly refined the Time Dice left in the void.

Upon his return, he immediately realized the problem with Heavenly Saint Star.

The Time Dice is an incredibly astonishing treasure that involves the power of time; it has six sides, each with different patterns representing numerical values.

Three sides represent the past, and three represent the future.

On the side of the past, the smaller the number, the more distant the past it represents.

On the side of the future, the larger the number, the more distant the future it represents.

The past side and the future side are connected, but they do not intercommunicate.

But whether it is the past or the future, greater numbers require the consumption of more powerful Time Forces; however, the past consumes less than the future.

As he guessed, Yue used the Time Dice to borrow the powers of the past and future.

However, whether it was the past or the future, he was unable to borrow the maximum value on the dice.

In order to strengthen his Future Body and past existence, he began to devise ways to accumulate the Power of Time.

Thus, he ultimately used the "Time Scripture" he created and the power of the Time Dice to drag the entire Heavenly Saint Star into a triple time-space.

Spatial chaos allowed for the accumulation of the Power of Space-Time.

Naturally, this was not easy to achieve.

So, to accomplish this, he fixed the cultivation methods of the entire Heavenly Saint Star, passed down sub-chapters of the "Time Scripture." Some cultivators only cultivated the past, some only the future, and some only the present; ultimately, with a slight guidance from the power of the Time Dice, he made beings from different times appear at the same time, which is now.

The tri-temporal chaos of Heavenly Saint Star was thus due to some people only having past existences and some only Future Bodies, creating temporal chaos.

With the Time Dice, this could be simply manipulated.

This step took him thousands of years.

"The spatial-temporal power surrounding the Heavenly Saint Star is born from spatial chaos, accumulating too much and forming a protective shell, similar to how my Virtual World became more robust from absorbing too much Incense Fire Faith."

The root of everything was Zhu's attempt to break through to the Ninth Realm.

If successful, maybe even if the original being came, they might not be able to demand a good outcome.

"But it also left behind a huge problem!"

The sky was vast, much larger than Source Star and the World of Ten Thousand Clans; however, perhaps this was Zhu's limit, so there were only about three hundred billion beings, roughly the same as in the World of Ten Thousand Clans.

But these beings were all guided by Zhu and the Time Dice.

A significant portion had only past existences and Future Bodies.

Simply put, this portion of people actually existed in the past and the future.

Initially, the Time Dice shielded them, but the moment Zhu died, they were exposed.

Such chaos is absolutely not permitted by the rules.

"If I'm not mistaken, the river of time-space has probably taken notice and is about to correct this chaotic time-space... As a result, the beings from the past and future will dissipate."

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng's mood soured instantly.

Perhaps because using the past side of the Time Dice requires less temporal strength, so the "People of the Past" were the fewest, but the "People of the Future" were quite numerous.

If these two groups were to disperse, of the thirty billion beings on Heavenly Saint Star, it's estimated that only about ten billion would remain, at best.

"If they truly dissipate, it'd be a massive loss... and also extremely cruel."

Dissipation is equivalent to death, allowing time-space to return to the proper course.

"Ah... I'll ask Yuan to see if there are any solutions!"

Yuan might know something due to the planet's advancement.

His consciousness returned to the original body, and Yuan immediately appeared.

[Successful?]

"Of course, but there's a big problem with Heavenly Saint Star."

[I've already guessed as much; otherwise, you wouldn't have suddenly asked for my help to raise your strength to the Ninth Realm. What's the issue?]

Wang Sheng briefly explained the situation.

"Do you have a solution? If not, we'll have to give up..."

He didn't have much of an answer when it came to temporal matters.

[It's indeed a troublesome matter, but there is a solution.]

"What is it?"

[Make Heavenly Saint Star a subsidiary; I can help conceal it for a while and, with the power of the Ninth Realm combined with the Time Dice, slowly correct time-space.]

"That simple?"

[Not simple. Correcting time-space requires you to use the Time Dice to put the 'People of the Future' to sleep, so I can conceal their presence. This will take a considerable amount of effort.]

"How long do they need to sleep?" This was a critical question.

[It depends on which time-space they come from. In reality, it's about preventing the 'People of the Future' from stealing time from the past. When the time they belong to arrives, there will be no issue, but whether this will affect other things, like cultivation, I'm not sure.]

Yuan knew a lot but wasn't omnipotent.

However, with a solution in sight, Wang Sheng was already pleasantly surprised.

"What about the people of the past?"

[...]

Yuan fell silent.

[They are stealing from the future; if they are still active in the present world, they will steal more and more. My concealment is not indefinite; once it ends, death is still inevitable. Their best choice is actually to die naturally. It might be okay for ordinary people, but cultivators, regardless of their realms, will have, at most, only a few more decades of life left.]

[Maybe there's another way, but I do not know it.]

"I understand."

He had done his best, and if there was no solution, he couldn't be blamed.

"Let's hope they can accept it..."

[It's easier for ordinary people with short lifespans, but cultivators probably won't take it so easily.]

"When the time comes, it won't be up to them anymore!"

If they wanted to create havoc with their last moments, they'd just have to depart earlier.

Yuan understood Wang Sheng's will, and he shared the same view.

[If that's the case, then let's proceed with the attachment ceremony, otherwise, once the time-space power surrounding Heavenly Saint Star dissipates, it'll be too late!]

"I understand, you get ready too..."

[Don't worry...]
