Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Time Travel, Journey to the Past and Future! (Please Follow)
A tall and powerful, slender figure coiled in midair.
Rabbit eyes, deer antlers, cow mouth, camel head, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, and a snake’s body.
A classic Eastern Divine Dragon, entirely crimson, stretching a hundred meters long.
The aura surrounding it felt extremely profound and mysterious, its Realm at Tier Nine of the Venerable level.
Within the vertical pupils of its dragon eyes, coldness and majesty raged.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue, in the form of consciousnesses, resided within the mind of the Red Candle Dragon, able to sense their own conditions.
Mu Qingxue gave a soft "huh," and curiously said, "How come the Summoned Beast’s Realm is Tier Nine Venerable? I just broke through to Tier One Venerable, didn’t I?"
Xiao Ye replied, "You are Tier One Venerable, true, but I’m not."
Mu Qingxue suddenly understood, "Oh right, you’re Tier Nine Venerable, so the Summoned Beast’s Realm also rises to Tier Nine. But the spiritual power consumption is kind of terrifying—*in this state, we could probably last only half an hour.*"
As she spoke, the two of them controlled the Red Candle Dragon, circling around in the sky for a few seconds before descending to begin upgrading the template.
Xiao Ye took out the fifty Power of the Creation Rules, fifty Time-type, and fifty Reincarnation Rule Fragment Crystals required for the upgrade from the System’s storage, laid them around the Candle Dragon, then tossed them out. The Rule Fragment Crystals automatically hovered in midair.
"Ready? Upgrade, begin!" Xiao Ye shouted.
Mu Qingxue was excited and exclaimed, "Bring it on."
Xiao Ye activated the Template Adjuster and started the template upgrade function.
[SSS Level Time Candle Dragon Template]——[Mythical Level Time Emperor Candle Dragon Template]
"Bzzzz!" A surge of Supreme Power burst from the Template Adjuster, shrouding the Red Candle Dragon and the Rule Fragment Crystals.
The previously dormant and restrained Rule Fragment Crystals were all activated. Power of the Creation Rules, Time Rule Power, and Reincarnation Rule Power surged forth in overwhelming waves, spreading outward in all directions.
A truly bizarre phenomenon occurred.
The weeds on the ground, one second a chaotic mess, the next, neat and lush—looking as though they’d never been trampled at all.
After the weeds became lush and thriving, the very next second, they all weirdly shrank several notches, growing shorter, greener, like freshly sprouted shoots.
After turning into fresh shoots and with just another second, the state of the grass changed again, returning to its original, messy and aged state.
The mutated ant swarm beneath the vegetation suffered as well—the worker ants assisting the queen with propagation duties instantly reverted to a larval state, thus failing to reproduce. The queen was even worse off, immediately becoming a stinking corpse as if she’d been dead for a while. *This scared the workers so badly that even their already-shrunken reproductive organs shriveled up and lost all function.*
Not just that, some weeds manifested phantom states—some revealed Demon Beasts, others still presented as grass.
The phantoms surfacing on the ants were flat-out bizarre: some were hundred-meter-tall Mammoths, some were mutts with mouths extended to drink, some were buzzing flies squabbling atop piles of crap, and some even appeared as ancient-robed humans.
Bzzzz! Endless, surging Rule Power spread outward, and anything it touched would be affected irreversibly.
"!!!"
On the edge of the grassland, the trio of Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, and Liu Ya watched the show, exclaiming endlessly:
"Qingxue, you’re so badass."
"Whoa, so this is Time-type! It’s incredible! The timeline of the wild grass across the whole plain keeps shifting back and forth, one moment old, one moment youthful, one moment grave-bound."
"I’m seeing things I never found in the library. Time—yeah, it’s just as mysterious and scary as they say; it can rejuvenate, or just send a creature straight to the grave, or switch any living being to any state of its timeline."
"Seriously, incredible, but what’s the deal with those phantoms? I don’t get it."
"Qingxue’s Candle Dragon and my Five-Clawed Golden Dragon are both Eastern Divine Dragons in form, but their abilities and Attributes are totally different. *I can feel just how terrifying hers is!*"
The three watched the expanding Rule Power, but rather than panicking, they got even more excited, bouncing and chattering as they pointed to the bizarre phenomena.
Whoosh! Just as that Rule Power was about to keep spreading, the Supreme Power enveloping the Candle Dragon and Rule Fragments kicked in, immediately drawing all the Rule Power back, containing it within a thousand meters of the Candle Dragon, letting none escape.
Shrouded in Supreme Power, Mu Qingxue felt her body more transparent than ever, and seeing the changing weeds and mutated ant swarms below, she couldn’t help but blurt, *"That’s badass!"*
"Hee hee, that’s what makes me, Mu Qingxue, so awesome." She was bubbling with excitement and declared arrogantly, "Xiao Ye, once I have these abilities, if you ever dare beat me up again, I’ll turn you into a baby Xiao Ye and you won’t even be able to get on the bed."
Xiao Ye didn’t buy it, "Your Innate Skill? I’m immune, what’s the point? You think you can stop me from getting on the bed? Ha, I’ll make sure you can’t even get off of it."
"Anyway, you’re busy watching the time changes in the grass, but what grabs me is those phantoms appearing on them. All species—Demon Beasts, humans, Magic Plants—you name it. Looks like it’s another Attribute from your template."
"Reincarnation Attribute!"
"But are these phantoms their Reincarnations? Are they their past lives, their next lives, or even ones before that?"
"Just what kind of power does the Reincarnation Attribute have? *It looks even more mysterious than Time-type Attributes.*" he said, deeply curious.
Mu Qingxue giggled brightly, "Who cares? Once our templates are upgraded, won’t everything become clear anyway? All these mysteries, all these powers, we’re gonna have them all."
"Shoo shoo shoo!"
While the pair spoke, a Power of the Creation Rule, a Time Rule Fragment, and a Reincarnation Rule Fragment slipped into the Red Candle Dragon’s body and fused into Rule Power.
In a flash, Mu Qingxue felt like her body was about to burst, letting out a sharp cry.
A Summoned Beast at the Venerable level shouldn’t possibly contain Rule Power, but under the effect of that Supreme Power, the rampant Rule Power mellowed, becoming docile, not rowdy at all—gradually dissolving into specks of light, melting into the Red Candle Dragon’s every bone and limb.
After the three different Rule Fragment Crystals were absorbed, with Supreme Power at work, more suspended Rule Fragments zipped into the Candle Dragon—six total: two Power of the Creation, two Time, two Reincarnation.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue, enveloped by a most mysterious state, went straight into enlightenment.
*Space was supreme, Time was king.*
*Time Freeze, Time Fast Forward, Time Reversal.*
*Life timelines, world timelines, universe timelines.*
*Shuttling through time, threading the past and future.*
*Countless timelines drawn in, mastered and controlled at will.*
*Reincarnation, cosmic laws.*
*Memory wiped, endless cycles of rebirth.*
*Beast realm, demon and monster paths, Magic Plant way, spirit path.*
