Chapter 259: Supreme World! One Leaf, One Universe! The Curtain Rises? Supreme Divine Arts!

"Dao Lord, I know how to establish the foundation, but I am still utterly confused about the specific method for cultivating the first step of the Supreme Path of Time. I implore the Dao Lord to guide me."

Shichen bowed again and asked respectfully.

He could indeed evolve the River of Time, but what came next?

What should be done next?

He had never encountered the Supreme Path, so naturally, Shichen was completely baffled by these matters.

"What follows is the key."

Hearing this, a slight curve traced Li Mo's lips as he spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

The key!

The magnificent and terrifying key to the Supreme Path of Time!

Shichen's spirit perked up, listening carefully to Li Mo's words.

"What is time?"

"Living beings need time to live."

"All things need time to grow."

"All things in the world, everything—let me ask you, is there a single thing that can exist apart from time?"

Li Mo spoke slowly.

"There is none."

Shichen replied without hesitation.

If space-time is a framework connecting the flow of everything, then time is the core and also the bridge, allowing all existence to function normally.

From the mighty world's experts down to flying stones and trees, I ask you, what existence can evade time?

Even stones that seem unchanged for ten thousand years are no exception; one must know that dripping water can pierce stone. Stones may appear hard, but they do not require the passage of time, and under the mighty power of time, they are still not indestructible.

All evolution, all growth, is nothing but related to time.

"Only with the existence of time can living beings exist, only then can the foundation of the world exist. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and everything else are all the same."

Li Mo spoke calmly and unhurriedly. "Now, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Shichen's eyes brightened as he exclaimed, having suddenly grasped the truth.

"Time is the core, evolving everything, encompassing everything. The River of Time is my foundation and also my core. I take time as the source, merge all laws into it, and transform them all into time."

"Fire is time, metal is time, wood is time, life is also time. It is not about merging with other Great Dao, but turning them into time! When the Three Thousand Great Dao are merged, when the foundation of all is laid, this is the Great Perfection of the River of Time!"

Shichen spoke with ringing strength.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth?

No!

Under time, everything is time, even metal, wood, water, fire, earth, or life and death remain so.

All is time, everything is time!

If this is so, once he masters the Great Perfection of the River of Time, whatever he thinks can be evolved, whatever he imagines can become true; time is the source of everything!

"This is the true Supreme Path of Time!"

Shichen realized the truth and spoke with fervor.

"???"

Yang Mei was stunned, even falling into deep thought, and somewhat doubting life itself.

Are you sure this is time?

Are you sure this isn't kidnapping?

Good heavens, he was about to exclaim "good heavens"; dare they be any more domineering?

Damn it, everything is time, is that okay? He was about to be stunned, okay?

Yang Mei suddenly thought of Brother Fuxi.

No wonder Brother Fuxi's so-called Supreme Deduction was space-time; turns out it's like this, isn't this directly maxed out completely?

Yang Mei understood!

The Supreme Path is to integrate everything, merging all related aspects into oneself; gathering all is the Supreme!

Voom!!!

At this moment, Yang Mei emitted waves of profound and deep aura, as if being cleansed, as if sublimating; the Space Dao he wielded seemed to begin transforming and extending at this very moment.

"Hmm? Did the Insight ability of the New Fire trigger?"

Li Mo glanced at Yang Mei, lost in thought.

"???"

Shichen, who was just excited, was stunned; his expression froze, his excited mood briefly halted, as if he couldn't quite figure it out.

Wait, I'm being taught the Supreme Path, yet you achieve sudden enlightenment? Judging by your demeanor, it seems quite extraordinary.

Is this being taught to you or to me?

Damn!

You're stealing the spotlight here!

Shichen was numb.

"Thank you, Dao Lord, for guiding me."

His lips twitched slightly; Shichen could only temporarily ignore Yang Mei and bow deeply to Li Mo again.

However, because of Yang Mei, Shichen's originally excited mood cooled down, leaving him with a sense of listlessness.

How could he not feel listless? The bystander achieved sudden enlightenment while he hadn't; who could he complain to? So angry.

"No harm."

Li Mo said slowly.

The two cast their gazes at Yang Mei, but spoke no more, instead waiting silently for Yang Mei to comprehend.

Moments later, Yang Mei opened his eyes again, a trace of excitement flashing in his pupils; his aura contracted and gathered, then sank back into his body, leaving only faint, visible specks of divine radiance and colorful clouds slowly dissipating.

"I thank the Dao Lord for guiding my Dao heart; without the Dao Lord, how could I have comprehended a talent divine ability?"

Bowing deeply, Yang Mei spoke with surging emotions.

"...."

Numb, numb, time is numb.

"Oh? What divine ability?"

Sensing the runes evolving within his sea of consciousness, Li Mo smiled and asked with interest.

"The Heavenly Gang Space Method; it can help me refine other energies or existences, bringing them all under the Dao of Space to enhance my comprehension and strengthen my cultivation base."

Yang Mei said respectfully, and as he spoke, he condensed a mark he wished to hand to Li Mo. "Please, Dao Lord, examine it."

"No need; it is already suited to you. I require no guidance, so I will not look."

Li Mo waved his hand and said.

Li Mo had no interest in viewing Yang Mei's divine ability himself; after all, he could have something better, so Li Mo did not care too much.

Compared to the divine ability itself, he was merely curious what gains Yang Mei had made.

"Yes."

Seeing this, Yang Mei said no more.
