"Brother Shi!"

"I have a reluctant request."

At this point, the Barrier Beast paused, then spoke with an excited and sincere tone, "Can you let me join you?"

Upon hearing this, the Iron-Eating Beast clearly pondered seriously for a moment, then said, "Join us?"

"It’s too late!"

Currently, the master’s safety is unknown, although it wasn’t directly caused by these two fools, they are indirectly responsible.

However, putting all that aside, if these two fools were to join, the security level at home would be raised another notch.

....

"Brother Shi, I’ve never begged anyone in my life. This time, please help me out!"

The Barrier Beast sobbed to the Iron-Eating Beast, "We’re both doomed souls; ever since that event, we’ve been wandering through the Ten Thousand Realms like vagabonds, homeless, and later, we took a wrong path out of desperation."

.....

"Figure out how to resolve the current crisis before we talk again."

"Besides, even if I agree, it’s useless. We have to see the master’s opinion."

"The most important thing for you is to find a way to break the deadlock!"

The Iron-Eating Beast coldly huffed at the two Barrier Beasts.

.....

Meanwhile, in another sealed barrier space.

Thirty-six Dharma Aspects were seated above the barrier, with strings of dark runes transforming into Dharma Seals, enveloping the entire space.

The Little Groundhog sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating, its face flushed red. Although it was protected by the master’s barrier, it still felt uncomfortable and could only operate its Cultivation Technique to resist the oppressive feeling.

The next second.

The thirty-six Dharma Aspects simultaneously waved their large hands, summoning a golden Compass.

The golden Compass floated in front of them, emitting a dazzling Holy Light.

As the thirty-six Dharma Aspects extended their hands to manipulate the tiny particles on the Compass, instantly, dots of light flew out from the circular golden Compass, transforming into golden "fireflies."

Tens of thousands of golden fireflies gathered together above Su Mu’s head, gradually forming a painting.

As the painting’s outline emerged, the oppressive force within the barrier space began to increase rapidly.

Protecting the Little Groundhog within the barrier, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of its mouth.

If the master hadn’t placed a protective barrier, the oppressive force emitted by this "painting" could have crushed its internal organs!

......

This painting stretched a thousand meters long and several hundred meters wide, in the shape of a rectangle.

The "patterns" on the painting included "mountains," "rivers," "unknown species of Ancient Fierce Beasts," "birds and beasts," and some "Taiji and Bagua" patterns, forming a "Hundred Spirits Map," lifelike, as if coming to life.

Each pattern on this "Hundred Spirits Map" was composed of those golden fireflies.

Su Mu fixed his eyes, locking onto a single golden firefly.

He found that within each golden firefly, there contained many kinds of Power of Law, as if each firefly was an independent world.

.....

At this moment.

Over the River of Time, in a certain corner.

A tall and a short figure stood on the Water of Time.

In the water area where the two figures stood, within a few kilometers, there was no sign of fish, this area was lifeless, with no sign of any Creatures.

These two figures gazed in a certain direction of the River of Time, standing still for a long time.

After a while, the shorter figure spoke, breaking the silence: "Can we really kill him?"

These words stunned the taller figure for a moment, followed by a deep voice: "Kill him?"

"Are you joking with me....."

"Even injuring him counts as a great success."

....

Upon hearing this, the shorter figure remained silent for a long time, with a deep look of confusion: "Since we can’t kill him, only injure him at most, why go through such great lengths, expend so much effort, to set up this shocking kill scheme?"

"After this battle fails, it will have a significant impact on the entire structure of the Ten Thousand Realms..."

In response, the taller figure remained silent for two seconds, sighed without a word: "No wonder the lord asked me to accompany you, to keep an eye on you."

"When will your thinking broaden, your perspective expand?"

.....

"Then I really don’t understand, please enlighten me, fellow Daoist!"

The tone of the shorter figure clearly showed some displeasure.

The implicit meaning was that you better explain it to me clearly, let me see how big your perspective really is!

The taller figure asked leisurely: "Do you know what ’time-space disparity’ means?"

"Time difference, information difference, I know all of them, but I’ve never heard of something called ’time-space disparity,’ is it a term you invented?" the shorter figure retorted.

....

"Time-space disparity, you can understand it as an advanced combination of ’time difference’ and ’space difference.’

"I want to quiz you on something. If I now need to do something, how can I do it without leaving a trace and not be detected by the enemy?" After saying this, the taller figure paused, then asked the shorter figure back.

"For people like us at this level, leaving no trace is impossible, just like you.... Although your strength is above mine, doing something without leaving a trace before me is nearly impossible."

The shorter figure slowly replied.

"Even people of our level can’t achieve ’leaving no trace,’ let alone those big figures above us...."

"The games between big figures are all about information gaps, about setting up first to seize the initiative."

"Take this Time River Guardian as an example, sitting in the River of Time, all the winds and movements in the Ten Thousand Realms cannot escape his surveillance."

"So let me ask you, if we want to set up in the Ten Thousand Realms, isn’t the most critical point to not be discovered by him?"

"How to set up in the Ten Thousand Realms right under his nose?"

"How can it be done?"

The taller figure asked the shorter figure word by word.

Upon hearing this, the shorter figure fell into silence.

"It seems, indeed, impossible to accomplish...."

The games between big figures, every tiny movement would be infinitely magnified.

You know how to set up, I know how to break the setup, preventing you from easily making the "move" happen.

So, any sign of discovery will be strangled in the cradle, that’s the games between big figures, not tolerating any slightest mistake.

"Therefore, this calls for the creation of a ’time-space disparity.’"

"And this time-space disparity must be completely targeted towards him alone."

"Although it’s not the most perfect, it is the optimal solution we’ve come up with."

The taller figure said softly.

With these words, the shorter figure rubbed his chin, lost in thought, carefully considering these words.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply, having thought of something.

"I understand now!"
