Chapter 741 Breaking through the Time Loop (7,000 words, please subscribe)
An extremely secretive valley is filled with elite soldiers wearing armor inside and out. The surrounding area has been completely sealed off and no one is allowed to approach.
In the valley, a group of men, women, and children gathered together, looking terrified and desperate, but they did not dare to resist in the slightest, and could only wait for the final judgment to come.
"I didn't expect the remnants of the previous dynasty to be hiding here. It makes it easier for us to find them."
The leader was a man with fierce eyes named Lu Ku. He stared at everyone in the valley and told the elite soldiers next to him: "Watch carefully, don't let anyone go."
"yes."
The soldiers on both sides nodded, and then hesitantly said: "Sir, how long will you keep an eye on?"
"I have already reported it to the court. I believe someone will come here soon to take away these remnants of the former dynasty."
Lu Ju glanced around, "It is a great achievement to discover the remnants of the previous dynasty, and you will benefit from it when the time comes."
Since Taizu Taizu of Dayan founded the country, rewards have been issued to search for the remnants of the previous dynasty. In the past eighty years, many people have achieved great success because of finding the remnants of the previous dynasty.
It's a pity that as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer remnants of the previous dynasty, and there has been no news at all in the past ten years.
Lu Ju felt that the remnants of the previous dynasty he found in this valley were probably the last remnants of the Great Feng Dynasty.
"In the past, whenever remnants of the previous dynasty were discovered, the imperial court would send people to take them away. I don't know why it was so troublesome."
Lu Ju thought to himself, in his opinion, if he found the remnants of the previous dynasty, he could just kill them directly to avoid future troubles, but why should he take them away specially?
However, this was an order from Emperor Taizu of Dayan, so Lu Ju naturally did not dare to refute it. In today's world, Taizu of Dayan was no different from a god.
This status is not due to strength, but to a series of policies implemented by Dayan after the founding of the country.
Compared with the previous dynasties, Dayan was much more tolerant towards the people. Not only did he pay low taxes, but he also took the initiative to educate the people, which was unimaginable in previous dynasties.
Lu Ju also had great respect for Taizu Dayan. When Dayan celebrated the 30th anniversary of the founding of the country with the people, he even rushed to the capital to take a look at Taizu Dayan from a distance.
After a while.
Outside the valley, a young man appeared out of nowhere.
The young man was wearing regular clothes and had a calm expression. He was not at all intimidated by the elite soldiers who blocked the valley inside and outside.
"This should be where the 'Eunuch Liang' and his relatives and descendants of the Dafeng Palace were hiding." The young man was Lin Yuan, looking at the valley from a distance.
"Eunuch Liang" served the last emperor of Dafeng for decades. Before the capital was besieged, Eunuch Liang was sent out of the palace for doing something wrong and has not been seen since.
Not long ago, Lin Yuan was traveling around the world. When he learned about this, he rushed over in person.
"Who are you? This place has been blocked. Leave quickly." The patrolling soldiers immediately noticed the young man's presence and hurriedly reprimanded him.
Lin Yuan glanced at the many soldiers, and instead of making trouble, he took out a token from his arms.
The token is red, with the word "flame" written on its surface.
Since the Great Yan Li Kingdom, Lin Yuan has spent most of his time traveling around the world, looking for traces of the real Emperor Da Feng.
To travel around the world, you naturally need your identity to be with you so that you can control nearby forces at any time. The emperor's identity is too conspicuous, so he specially carries this token.
This token represents the Great Yan Dynasty and can command the place at any time.
"Great Flame Order?" The expressions of all the soldiers changed slightly and they quickly bowed towards Lin Yuan.
"This should be the person sent by the imperial court to pick up the remnants of the previous dynasty." Some soldiers thought to themselves.
The person who can produce the Great Flame Token must be a high-ranking member of the imperial court. This is a token issued by Taizu himself, symbolizing an indescribable status.
Not long after.
Lu Ju then hurried out after being informed by his soldiers.
But the moment he saw Lin Yuan, his expression trembled, and he knelt down directly, "Qiongzhou garrison Lu Ju, pay your respects to your majesty."
"Do you know me?" Lin Yuanduo glanced at Lu Ju.
As the founding ancestor of Dayan, Lin Yuan rarely appeared in front of outsiders and spent most of his time walking around the world.
"In the 30th year of the Great Yanli, I finally had the honor to meet His Majesty from a distance in my country." Lu Ju said quickly.
That meeting was just a glance from a distance, but the impression on Lu Ju was extremely profound. Even though they were fifty years apart again, he recognized Lin Yuan at a glance.
"Um."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In the 30th year of Great Yanli, he indeed visited the capital.
"Everyone should be inside."
Lin Yuan had no nonsense.
"It's all in there."
Lu Ji said immediately.
"You all move out and wait outside."
Lin Yuan said.
In the past, when the remnants of Dafeng were found, they were escorted to the capital and contacted by Lin Yuan personally.
"yes."
Lu Ju nodded, then hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, these remnants of the former dynasty are a little dishonest. When the general sealed this place, they encountered resistance."
Lu Ju was worried about Lin Yuan's safety. If all the soldiers were withdrawn, wouldn't Lin Yuan face the remnants of the previous dynasty alone?
If there was any problem in the middle, then cutting Lu Ju into pieces with a thousand swords wouldn't be enough.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Lin Yuan said casually.
As early as eighty years ago, his strength had reached the pinnacle in this world.
It is the ultimate of this world, not the ultimate of the heavenly masters who have entered the Tao in past generations.
Now in the past eighty years, Lin Yuan's strength has improved a lot again, and there are basically no creatures in the world that can harm him.
"good."
Lu Ju hesitated for a while, then followed Lin Yuan's instructions and evacuated all his soldiers.
When Lin Yuan walked into the valley, the many soldiers guarding outside suddenly became commotion.
They all saw Lu Ju's performance just now.
His Majesty?
Lu refused to call that young man your majesty?
In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, the only person who is qualified to be called His Majesty is Great Ancestor Taizu.
Taizu has been on the throne for eighty years since the founding of Dayan, and there is no second emperor in the Dayan Dynasty.
"General, was that Taizu just now?"
"Taizu is so young, why do you look younger than me?"
"Taizu overthrew the previous dynasty and established Dayan eighty years ago. Now eighty years have passed and he is still so young?"
The soldiers were so excited that being able to see Taizu in person was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
"Keep your voice down, His Majesty is still inside."
Lu Ju frowned and glanced at the many soldiers, and the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
"His Majesty."
Lu Ju was extremely shocked at this moment. He also realized that the Majesty he saw was extremely young, no different from fifty years ago?
Fifty years ago, he was only nineteen years old. Fifty years later, he is sixty-nine years old and already looking old.
And Your Majesty? He who overthrew the previous dynasty eighty years ago was at least twenty years old, and now he is at least over a hundred years old. Even a heavenly master who has become a Taoist is approaching the end of his lifespan.
Within the valley.
Hundreds of men, women and children were terrified.
At this moment, they found that all the soldiers had retreated.
Then a young man walked in.
This young man's aura was completely restrained, and he gave the men, women and children on the field the feeling that he was not as good as any other elite soldier just now.
But now all the elite soldiers have withdrawn, and it is this young man who has come in. Obviously the latter has a high status and can order all the soldiers.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, an old man with gray hair stood out among the men, women, and children. He looked at Lin Yuan and asked tentatively.
"You don't need to know who I am."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, "Who knows 'Liang Qin'?"
‘Liang Qin’ was the ‘father-in-law’ who served the last emperor of Dafeng.
It is said that this 'Liang Qin' had served the last Dafeng emperor since he was still the crown prince. He was expelled from the palace twenty years before the fall of Dafeng, and his life and death were unknown in the end.
"I know him."
The gray-haired old man was silent for a while and then said, "I am Liang Qinshou's adopted son. We originally planned to return to our hometown together, but then we heard that Dafeng was destroyed, so we hid here."
"Did Liang Qin tell you anything? About the last Emperor Dafeng?"
Lin Yuan asked.
In fact, Lin Yuan was already observing the opponent's past timeline at this moment, and then locked in the parts related to 'Liang Qin'.
Maybe we can detect some traces of the other party from this 'father-in-law' who served the last Emperor Feng for decades.
"Said something."
The gray-haired old man said: "I can explain everything, but the Dafeng Dynasty has nothing to do with these people. If you want to kill me, just kill me."
"explain."
Lin Yuan looked at each other.
"On his way back to his hometown, my adoptive father told me that during the decades he served, Emperor Dafeng's character had undergone two subtle changes."
"Two subtle changes?"
Lin Yuan looked thoughtful.
"The first time was two years after he came to the throne. Emperor Dafeng, who was originally extremely interested in government affairs, suddenly became immersed in Taoist cultivation and spent most of his time in the Taoist Pavilion."
The gray-haired old man said.
The Dao Pavilion is the place where Da Feng collects many secrets of entering the Dao.
"Afterwards, my adoptive father cleaned the Taoist pavilion and found that the emperor, in addition to watching the normal Taoist cultivation methods, was also very interested in some secret methods of Taoism, such as the secret method of condensing one's own aura and reducing the fluctuations of qi, blood and mind."
"There were times when I watched a lot of these mysteries."
The gray-haired old man said.
"continue."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"The second change happened about ten or twenty years later. My adoptive father had served the emperor for decades, and he vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to be a different person. Even though his behavior and personality were exactly the same, there was this Feel."
The gray-haired old man said.
When 'Liang Qin' told him about this incident, he specifically told him not to spread the word, otherwise he would be beheaded.
But now that the Dafeng Dynasty has been overthrown for eighty years, there is nothing to say.
Lin Yuan's expression fell into brief thought.
According to what the gray-haired old man said, there was a subtle change in Emperor Dafeng the second time, and he could guess the reason.
It's time for the substitute to take over.
No matter how similar the double is to the main body.
But it's not the same person after all.
Ministers and even close relatives may not be able to detect it.
But as the 'Eunuch Liang' who served the emperor personally, he certainly didn't know anything about it.
"knew."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had gotten the key information he wanted to know.
As for whether the gray-haired old man lied and concealed it? Lin Yuan had just watched the other party's past timeline several times to make sure that nothing was missing.
"Sir, I am indeed related to the previous dynasty, but others are not. They were all born after Dayan was established, and they are also people of Dayan."
The gray-haired old man immediately begged.
"Don't worry."
"You can all survive."
Lin Yuan glanced at the trembling people and said.
He is not a murderous person, and he will not kill innocent people unless his own interests are involved.
From the beginning to now, Lin Yuan has only targeted Emperor Dafeng.
As for the many remnants of Da Feng sent to the imperial court in the past eighty years? After confirming that these people did not know anything about Emperor Dafeng, Lin Yuan did not kill them all, but raised them in a small town.
Beyond the valley.
Lu Ju watched Lin Yuan walk out and immediately approached, "Your Majesty."
"I'm leaving first."
Lin Yuan glanced at the other party.
"What should we do with the people inside?" Lu Ju asked in a low voice.
"Don't be embarrassed, just let them go."
Lin Yuan said.
"yes."
Lu Ju immediately bowed and said.
When he looked up again, he found that Lin Yuan was gone.
"Your Majesty." Lu Jie calmed down and looked at the empty eyes, feeling a little dazed.
Did he really meet the great ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty just now?
On the top of a mountain, this place is steep and rugged. Except for flying birds, it is difficult for even a heavenly master to reach it.
But at this moment, a young man was sitting on a huge rock on the top of the mountain.
The young man looked down and had complicated thoughts.
"That Emperor Dafeng used all the original divine gold to cast a coffin instead of following Taizu's last call?" Lin Yuan thought.
For eighty years, he devoted all his efforts to figure out what the original divine gold was finally cast into.
No matter how much Emperor Dafeng tried to conceal it, he even silenced all the craftsmen who participated in the casting at that time.
But as long as it is done, it will eventually leave traces. In addition, Lin Yuan can watch the past timeline. After spending some time, he still figured everything out. Compared to casting the Jiuding, Emperor Dafeng casting the coffin made Lin Yuan silent.
Once the coffin is made of a large amount of primitive divine gold, it is almost impossible to open it with external force.
Even if it was put back into the Earth Fire Cave and smelted with the hot earth fire, given the size of the coffin, it would take at least hundreds of years to melt half of it.
It is estimated that it would take six to seven hundred years to completely smelt it.
"In addition, I have also understood many secret methods of entering the Tao to restrain the breath and reduce the fluctuations of energy, blood and mind. Is this the art of suspended animation?"
Lin Yuan speculated deeply.
If the Emperor Feng used the art of suspended animation and hid in a coffin made entirely of primitive divine gold, he would hide the coffin somewhere.
Who in the world can kill him?
only
Why did Emperor Dafeng do this?
What is the difference between using the art of suspended animation and hiding in a primitive golden coffin and real death?
"I would rather linger like this than be killed by me. This is no longer as simple as knowing in advance that I am going to kill him."
Lin Yuan shook his head gently, "This Emperor Dafeng fell into this time loop world just like me, but my test is to kill the opponent, and his test is to survive?"
Over the past eighty years, Lin Yuan finally came to this extremely incredible conclusion with the help of many clues and information, as well as his own observations.
If Emperor Dafeng was a native of this time cycle world, he would definitely not behave like this. The other party could negotiate with him and die in exchange for the continued existence of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Rather than like now, the Dafeng dynasty was destroyed, and the Dafeng Emperor was hiding in a coffin and lingering, which was no different from death.
"Is this the real test I face?"
"What is the premise that someone who is like me, comes from the outside world, and knows that I can definitely kill him?"
Lin Yuan also felt that it was difficult. If he had known this earlier, he would have definitely been at the crossing point, so he sneaked into the palace at all costs and established a causal connection before Emperor Dafeng.
In this way, no matter where the other party is hiding, he can know it.
One month later.
The coast of the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is also called the Deep Sea, called the Endless East China Sea or the Endless Deep Sea.
Lin Yuan looked away with his hands behind his hands.
Over the past eighty years, he has visited basically every corner of the land.
Every time you go to a location, watch the future timeline and try to conduct a comprehensive search for this location in this timeline, including digging hundreds of thousands of miles underground, etc.
Today, the continent under Lin Yuan's feet has basically been viewed dozens of times in the billions of timelines he has watched in the past eighty years, and no trace of the original divine gold has been found.
That is to say.
If Emperor Dafeng really hid in the original divine gold coffin, the final location where the coffin was hidden must not be on the mainland.
"deep sea."
Lin Yuan looked at the endless blue sea.
Not to mention that he was very close to the end of his lifespan. Two months later, it would be the day that Lin Yuan's physical body would completely die of old age.
Even if you still have enough lifespan, if you want to search the endless deep sea like searching the mainland, it will take thousands of years not enough.
The area of the endless deep sea is thousands of times that of the continent.
Not to mention the harsh environment at the bottom of the endless deep sea, Lin Yuan could not get close at all, and his body would definitely be crushed by the endless sea pressure.
In this world, no matter how much Lin Yuan practices or how much he goes beyond the limit, the upper limit of the physical body has been fixed. Lin Yuan cannot break the limit of longevity, nor can he break through the shackles of the physical body.
Until now, if Lin Yuan's heart and brain were shattered, he would still die, but with his powerful spiritual power, he would die later, but he would definitely die.
"amazing."
Lin Yuan admired in his heart.
At this moment, he also admired the great emperor Feng.
There was no chance left for him.
"Even if I sneak into the palace where I descend, establish a causal relationship, and know where the other party sank into the deep sea, it doesn't mean much."
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.
The seabed environment was so harsh that I had no means of salvaging it.
The other party relied on primitive divine gold to withstand the endless sea pressure. What could he rely on?
Even if the same amount of primitive divine gold is found, it is sealed inside and cannot come out. It can withstand the sea pressure. But after falling to the bottom of the sea, as long as you dare to open the head, you will be crushed by the sea pressure in an instant.
As for developing technology? Explore the endless deep sea with the power of technology?
In this time cycle world, it is not just the fluctuations in the rules of the avenue that are suppressed.
There are also basic physics rules, and climbing the tech tree doesn't work.
"There are still two months until the end of life."
"There are still thirteen days until that time point."
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze towards the deep blue sea.
Twenty years ago, Lin Yuan basically searched the land, but still could not find the location of Emperor Dafeng. He had already speculated in his mind that the emperor might not be hiding on the land at all.
And searching the deep sea is unrealistic. Even if we start all over again, with one hundred and fifty years, it is far from possible to search every location in the deep sea.
At that time, Lin Yuan was already thinking about other ways.
Want to penetrate the endless deep sea, or the entire world, in a short period of time.
It's not impossible to do it, but it requires the help of extremely powerful spiritual power.
As long as the power of the mind is strong enough, it can cover the entire world with just one thought.
But this is almost impossible to achieve.
The power of the soul needs to be nurtured by the physical body. With the suppression of the physical body in this world, it is impossible to give birth to that level of spiritual power.
This is due to the limitations of the world, or the limitations of the supreme rules.
Lin Yuan couldn't break it either.
However.
Lin Yuan was unable to improve his physical body.
But it can replace the physical body.
If Lin Yuan's body is not the flesh and blood body now, but this world
At Lin Yuan's level, his views on physical carriers were no longer limited to flesh and blood.
Everything in the world can become a spirit, and the physical body can also exist in all kinds of strange ways, even if the world is a physical body.
Lin Yuan only needs to replace the will of this world with his own spiritual will.
However.
Replacing world consciousness is extremely dangerous.
Especially in this world with extremely strict rules, Lin Yuan's spiritual will is very likely to be counterattacked by the world's consciousness during the replacement period, and then completely annihilated.
Only at the right time, in the right place.
Only by grasping the moment when the instinctive fluctuations of world consciousness appear, and then replacing them with your own consciousness, can you succeed.
And this correct time is thirteen days later.
The world consciousness will then fall into the deepest slumber.
That was Lin Yuan's biggest and only opportunity.
And this is the timeline that Lin Yuan locked onto after watching the future timeline countless times.
At other times, Lin Yuan tried to replace the world consciousness, but failed.
Only at this point in time, it was successful.
With Lin Yuan's level, as long as he completely replaces the consciousness of the world, his spiritual power will skyrocket without limit, reaching the point where it can easily cover every part of the world.
At that time, as long as Emperor Dafeng was still in this world, he could easily lock it.
With the increased spiritual power after replacing the world, even with the isolation of primitive divine gold, he can still kill the opponent through force.
"Thirteen days later."
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.
Even if the worst happens.
Also replaces failure at the right time.
Then just spend the boundary-breaking source power to kill the opponent.
With the strength of Lin Yuan's spiritual power, even if the replacement fails, he will be counterattacked by the world's consciousness.
It can last for a few moments, which is enough to activate the boundary-breaking source power to 'clear the level'.
certainly.
Lin Yuan hopes to succeed in replacing world consciousness.
Not only does it save four million boundary-breaking source power.
It is also an explanation of the previous 150 years.
If you still have to rely on boundary-breaking source power to break through the time loop in the end, why don't you just use it as soon as you arrive?
"Go to Anshan."
Lin Yuan stood up and left.
Anshan is the right place that Lin Yuan needs to replace the world consciousness.
Only the right time and the right place come together.
Only then can there be a chance to successfully replace world consciousness.
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen days came.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the top of a mountain.
He could clearly feel an inexplicable aura circulating here.
During this period, this is the weakest area in the world.
"Now!"
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and his spiritual power suddenly began to burn.
After burning, the power of the soul rose infinitely, faintly penetrated the clouds, and reached the sky.
Without the control of his mind and consciousness, Lin Yuan's physical body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Previously, Lin Yuan was able to maintain his youthful appearance because of his powerful psychic power control.
Now that all the spiritual power has left the physical body, the latter naturally cannot maintain its previous state.
Rumble.
As Lin Yuan's spiritual power continues to increase, he continues to integrate into the deepest part of the world.
The consciousness of the world, which was originally running slowly, gradually woke up.
"Replace the heart of heaven with your own heart."
Lin Yuan's huge spiritual power continued to intertwine and operate, and countless runes emerged, integrating towards the world consciousness.
Regarding replacing world consciousness, Lin Yuan had done this as early as the first few times he traveled through the sky and came to the azure world of endless void.
Quite experienced.
Buzz buzz~ Lin Yuan's spiritual power continued to merge into the consciousness of the world. The latter struggled violently, but still couldn't resist it.
Lin Yuan replaced the world's consciousness too suddenly, and the world's consciousness had no preparation at all. In addition, he made a desperate move to burn all his spiritual power in exchange for a substantial improvement.
Finally at some point.
Lin Yuan's spiritual power completely replaced world consciousness.
"this"
After replacing the world consciousness, Lin Yuan's spiritual power began to increase endlessly.
After coming to this world, Lin Yuan's spiritual power was extremely weak compared to his original body.
But this is because of the limitations of the physical body. The weak physical body cannot withstand the power of the mind that is too powerful.
Now that Lin Yuan's physical body has been replaced by this world, the strength of a world must be far greater than that of an individual physical body. Even if it is still not as good as Lin Yuan's real body in the outside world, it can still exert the true power of the soul to a certain extent.
Wow~ With the support of the entire world, Lin Yuan's spiritual power surged infinitely, and he easily swept across the entire world.
The ninety-nine states in the Central Plains, many small countries and tribes, etc., are all covered by the power of Lin Yuan's soul.
In the past, Lin Yuan spent eighty years exploring these areas, but now it was just a blink of an eye.
call!
The terrifying spiritual power continues to spread, covering the endless deep sea.
soon.
The endless deep sea was also shrouded by Lin Yuan.
In the deep sea, the huge sea beasts seemed to feel something. After being passed by the power of the soul, they became trembling and trembling.
"There is"
Lin Yuan looked at the bottom of a certain place in the Endless Deep Sea. This was the deepest part of the Endless Deep Sea, with almost no trace of life.
At this moment, at the bottom of the deep sea, a dark coffin fell there.
Rumble~
The terrifying power of the soul passed by, and the primitive divine gold blocked everything, but it could not stop the power of the soul behind the world at this moment. The invisible power swept through, and soon passed through the primitive divine gold, covering a figure lying inside. .
"This is?"
Emperor Dafeng, who was sleeping deeply, seemed to notice something and suddenly opened his eyes.
"die!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan used his spiritual power to completely annihilate Emperor Da Feng in the coffin.
At the moment when Emperor Dafeng died.
The whole world has come to a kind of standstill.
Lin Yuan was thoughtful, and his mind and will returned to his physical body.
Now his physical body is extremely old, but he is not dead after all. There is still more than a month left before the end of his lifespan.
Lin Yuan stood up and looked at the world around him.
Starting from the edge of the world, all matter is disintegrating.
It seems that everything is like a bubble and will eventually disappear completely.
"I broke through the time loop."
Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky.
Somehow, he already knew that he had passed the test of the time loop.
