Chapter 698

Time travel?

An evil god who ascended in the Fourth Era or later used special technology to return to the First Era, tens of thousands of years ago.

With Rod's shallow knowledge of spells, he did not know if such a type of spell even existed.

Even if the spell technology of the current stage is insufficient.

But after all, a deity who has mastered a certain authority after becoming a god might have comprehended the authority of time.

Not to mention the distant past.

Rod has an individual with time-type skills nearby: Slime Xiao Hei's 【Time Rewind】.

But that can only rewind to ten seconds ago, and it is merely the time rewind of the individual Xiao Hei, with no effect on the surroundings.

Clearly, the difference from true time travel is very large.

No way.

Rod did not state his guess directly in front of everyone; instead, he began to ask Moon Goddess Miss Lu Ka if she knew of any evil god mastering the domain of time.

At this moment, Miss Lu Ka had already returned to her workstation.

She poured a little less than half a bottle of stimulant potion into her left eye socket, which was full of bloodshot veins, and the entire puppet body shivered.

Sickly neon light fell upon her, making her appear even more desperately mad.

"As far as I know, there is no such creature."

"I know what you mean. Are you suggesting that we time-traveled from the Fourth Era back to the First Era?"

"Even if there is a controller of the time domain, if only He alone in the entire world controls the domain, it would be fine; if the energy is large enough to overturn the flow of time, perhaps it is possible."

"But the fact is not so. To travel through time would be no different than using the domain authority of one's personal power to hard-resist the domain power controllers of the entire world. Do you think that is possible?"

The puppet where Miss Lu Ka resides is a female model.

Certain delicate yet not lacking in plumpness parts seem to embody the creator's beautiful wishes.

Rod immediately lost all interest.

"Then, as you can see, what if all the evil god bastards join forces to assist in the travel?"

"A span of tens of thousands of years is too long; I still think it is impossible. Have you touched enough yet?"

"That is enough here."

Rod's hand moved upward, drilling in from the hem of her clothes and going all the way up.

In the end.

Miss Lu Ka's words are for reference only.

This fellow was ostracized by the other gods, and her memories were likely altered quite a bit; she can only find clues in some trivial details.

Next, Rod went to Shi Ying Town to find our ancient lizardman awakener Fabio, and then went to Emerald City to find the bone dragon Megan.

Both did not agree, and neither yielded any results.

This matter thus fell into stagnation.

Rod has always been unwilling to delve deep into things he does not understand, and it also seems there is indeed nothing meaningful about it.

It would be better to properly study the experiment of depriving divine sparks.

June quietly passed, and the scorching July arrived.

Before September even came, the high temperatures arrived as expected.

Cicada chirping, blindingly bright sunlight, and faint heat waves rising from the ground.

Rod wore a solid-colored linen tank top, exposing two arms knotted with muscles.

In the cool shade at the forest edge, watching the busy employees of Henry's Farm and the grazing cattle and sheep, with a lounge chair and a cold drink, he could lie there all day.

A hands-off owner must have the resolve of a hands-off owner.

Professional matters should be left to professionals: mages for research, managers for earning money; interfere less.

He is a professional fighter; the time outside of fighting is relatively idle, that's all.

Many things still happened within this short month.

The most eye-catching among them was the decapitation operation of the Half-Deer People's 【Source of Calamity】.

The former captain of the Axe Beach Militia, Ed Stevens, was surrounded and killed in Shenlun City; his head was brought back to Silver Hoof Deer Valley by the Half-Deer People's 【Hero Candidate】, where the Half-Deer People's Grand Elder successfully unlocked a new blessing ability of the 【Hero Candidate】.

The specific effects remain unknown.

But this smoothly boosted the morale of the 【Hero Candidates】, who successively announced two 【Source of Calamity】 targets.

A giant dragon and a scorpion man, but no photos or other specific details were released, leaving much to the imagination.

And the second matter that made the headlines.

Was the Yige Sect's successful counter-encirclement campaign against the 'Wings of Light'.

A large number of members were killed; strongholds, supplies, and everything previously seized in attacks on Yige Sect branches were all confiscated.

The remnants of the 'Wings of Light' were forced to cross eastward through the largest desert in the real dimension—the Ennoak Desert—to continue evading the encirclement and shift their lines.

Before departing, our former recruitment battalion commander, Carter, sent a solemn letter of apology and a series of measures reflecting on the incident.

In short, with an unknown future and life or death uncertain, he stated he would absolutely not fail Rod's trust and would fight until the moment of death.

Feeling regret is certain.

But Rod does not know the hardships involved; as the behind-the-scenes financier, it is inconvenient for him to get too deeply involved in many matters.

It is impossible to place all hope on them anyway.

In any case, the magic ring and Coral Bay Dock operations are running well; the funding provided is nothing, and treating the 'Wings of Light' as a covert line is not bad.

In any case, keep working hard.

Other matters include the Lord of Cloud Weave City personally descending to the ground to drag the superstar Lyla Star-Whisper back;

The Magic Control Union's 【Long-Distance Teleport】 reopened but at double the price; magical disasters occurred frequently;

The city of Suglenn hired two giant dragons to clear the beast-plague on the Kor Plains, but was driven back by the Star Association;

The elves of the Emerald Court announced they would reactivate the "Forest Guardian Act."

The so-called "Forest Guardian Act" essentially means that all forests fall under the elves' jurisdiction and protection, and they are entitled to pass judgment on any person or thing that destroys the forests.

Matters of this sort and the like need not be detailed one by one.

The flesh factory of the deity Miss Lu Ka, controlled by Rod, and the Thousand-Throated Lord Am, steadily produces one fungal core per person each month.

The spider-turned elf Watching Yuna and the female beastfolk Amy, after taking it, broke through to the early stage of Tier Eight.

The tree spirit Vivian, half a month ago while handling her desires, broke through from the peak of Tier Seven to Tier Eight.

A week later, the dogfolk Sharron likewise broke through to Tier Eight, then, via a 【Super-Distance Teleport】 whose price had doubled, hurried nonstop to Faye — most likely to seek revenge.

The pup's desire for revenge was strong, and she still refused to let her own master take part, so she could only report the situation daily.

However, Rod planned to head over there in the next few days, that was all.

The successive breakthroughs seemed to have stimulated the proud halfling Lily.

Three days ago she went out seeking opportunity, then returned that very night having broken through to Tier Eight. According to her, she had accidentally tripped over a stone, and upon picking it up discovered it was an exceedingly rare, ultra-high-purity spiritual crystal.

It truly was Heaven's favor.

From then on.

Within the forest, including Rod, there were already eleven contestants at Tier Eight or above.

—Invincible.

That was Rod's assessment.

The glaring golden sunlight was blocked by a thick yet snow-white mass of clouds, and at once the air grew fresh, no longer so stiflingly hot.

"Master~ the frozen yogurt is ready, do you want to add a mix of Tally's and Vivian's juices for extra flavor~~"

". No."

That's how succubi are — every day they come up with some heavy-flavored stuff, god knows where she got Vivian juice from.

Rod lazily propped himself up, just about to take the frozen yogurt Tally handed over, when he heard the thick clouds in the sky let out a 'Boom—'.

The snow-white cloud Qi swiftly twisted and spiraled, transforming into a massive cloud pillar, whoosh, and slammed into the grassland not far from Henry Farm.

Immediately after, a snow-white figure came speeding over, the vast might of Tier Nine pressing down with a rumble.

A refined-looking cloud-elf man's face was pale yet furious, glaring fiercely like a wrathful guardian deity at Rod, who had just scooped a mouthful of frozen yogurt.

"Forest Warden Rod! Are you going to marry my sister or not?!"

"?"
