Chapter 393

Dense forest.

Luosen and Tiralilin quietly approached the vicinity of the spacetime prison.

Over a hundred meters away, one could see a black wall as smooth as a mirror, with no top or sides visible.

After focusing his senses on the spacetime structure of the black wall, Luosen whispered: "Spacetime is highly distorted and exhibits strong unidirectionality. The difficulty of leaving is far greater than that of entering."

In other words, this spacetime prison can only be entered, not exited.

To achieve such a degree of spacetime distortion, and on such a scale, the power consumed every moment is an astronomical figure.

This far exceeds the limits of individual ability and must rely on the aid of a large-scale high-energy formation.

Naturally, relying on personal strength alone, one cannot possibly oppose it.

Tiralilin nodded slightly and whispered: "The empire's spacetime prison indeed has a structure that allows only entry, not exit."

"But because of the unidirectional irreversibility of the time dimension, the prison cannot be flawless; there will always be a gap."

"Under normal circumstances, the empire stations heavy troops at this gap, so even if one discovers the gap, escaping through it is difficult."

Considering that the Dawning Empire is the creator of this demiplane, it surely commands vast amounts of high energy, while the invaders' power is extremely limited; thus, once trapped, there is basically no chance of escape, only waiting to die.

Gazing at the black wall before him, Luosen quickly assessed the situation.

Currently, he and Adela have lost all contact, indicating that Adela and Patenuoluosi are trapped inside the prison.

Moreover, most of the invaders in this demiplane are certainly also trapped within the spacetime prison.

Once they are annihilated by the Dawning Emperor Auretes, he will surely be next.

From a short-term perspective, he and the demiplane invaders are actually allies.

But from a longer-term perspective, these demiplane invaders all come from the Abyss, with a large portion even originating from other worlds, being apostles of the true god.

If the Dawning Emperor fails, the demiplane collapses, and the Abyss can then open a passage to the main plane.

At that point, the power of the Abyss and that of other worlds will invade the main plane along that passage.

The main plane's magical rings have no restrictions, so these powers will instantly return to their peak, and in a moment they could crush him and his natural empire.

After weighing the options, Luosen reached a conclusion.

"The best outcome is to completely seal the Abyss's exit to the main plane."

But just thinking about it shows the difficulty is extremely high, so a contingency plan must also be considered.

"If I cannot seal it, then I must seek allies."

"Obviously, Adela, Patenuoluosi, and the Suffering Empress Aigedelin behind these two sisters are my potential allies."

Therefore, he must at least rescue the two sisters from the spacetime prison.

"Tiralilin, is there a way to pull people out of the prison?"

Tiralilin slowly shook her head, her face full of regret.

"If my soul had already recovered to the 22nd ring, there would be a way, but my current power is below the 15th ring, which is simply impossible."

These words stirred Luosen: "Why is it impossible?"

"Is it because the soul isn't strong enough, or because the time aptitude isn't strong enough?"

"It's mainly the latter, because after reaching the 22nd ring I can obtain a very powerful elemental ability called the Phantom Tunnel; using this tunnel, I can pass through any high-energy barrier like a ghost."

After a pause, Tiralilin added: "It's like a mountain; normally, to get to the other side, we must expend enough strength to climb over the summit."

"But with the tunnel, I need only expend a minimal amount of effort to easily reach the other side of the mountain."

Luosen immediately understood: "Similar to an elemental penetration effect?"

"Exactly. I once used this ability to escape multiple times from the empire's rebel pursuers."

This is indeed a fine skill for escaping.

Luosen immediately said: "Tiralilin, I will help you increase the strength of your time aptitude."

Afterward, he took out the time bead, briefly explained the principle of the Iterative Focus Technique, and then said: "Exactly how many iterations can be done depends on luck and operational skill."

"Perhaps it cannot push your time aptitude to the extreme, but it will likely surpass the former 22nd-ring level."

Tiralilin pondered carefully: "This requires self-operation; the difficulty is quite high, so I fear I can only iterate a few times."

The difficulty is indeed high; Luosen can iterate to the extreme because Laifu provides precise control, which ordinary people cannot do.

But Luosen has his own way: "Don't worry, I will guide you, just as you once guided me."

Upon this, Tiralilin hesitated not: "Alright, let's begin."

Time was urgent, so the two found a relatively safe place and began the operation.

While Luosen was helping Tiralilin enhance her time aptitude, the interior of the time prison had already erupted into battle.

Inside the prison, the sky was extremely dim, as if covered by a layer of thick dark clouds.

The attackers were a group of winged combat puppets descending from the sky, calling themselves the Purifying Angels of the Creator God.

The Purifying Angels filled the sky, their numbers too many to count, making the already dim sky even more gloomy.

Their combat strength is also considerable; a single unit matches a 15th-ring spacetime expert, and in numbers they become unstoppable.

Deep within a mountain cave in the northern hills of Bluestone City.

Adela was treating Patenuoluosi's arm wound, while beside the two women lay a squad of Purifying Angel corpses.

Adela's face was full of shock: "Your Majesty Luosen was right; this is indeed a trap meticulously set by Emperor Auretes."

Her shock was not only due to the present death angels, but also because she had fully realized it. She had become the Duchess of Bluestone City, founded the Mage Association to oppose the Dark Brotherhood, and at the same time Bluestone City had gradually become a hiding place for various invaders.

She thought she hid well, but in fact all of this had been seen by the Dawning Emperor.

Yet this deep emperor had remained inactive, even fabricating false news of his frail health, solely to gather all invaders together for a mass extermination.

She had spent a full thousand years operating Bluestone City, while this Dawning Emperor had silently laid his plans for a thousand years as well.

Patenuoluosi's face showed some despair: "The number of these combat puppets is too many to count, and the spacetime in this area is completely sealed, sister; we are probably done for."

Yet Adela still held a sliver of hope: "Your Majesty Luosen fled in time; he wasn't trapped. He might be thinking of a way to rescue us."

note about name

But we also have "姐姐" meaning older sister, generic term, not a name. So we ignore.

Adela obviously understood these principles, so she didn't argue, only insisted, "No matter what, we must try to hold on as long as possible, in case any variables arise."

Names: Adela – this is a person's name.

【77】

Again "Patenuoluosi". Also "True Divine Artifact" is a descriptive term, not a proper name.

"Perhaps some guy's abilities are so great that even the Dawn Emperor wouldn't be a match."

Names: Dawn Emperor – a title.

No names.

More death angels burst in.

Adela immediately helped her sister up and said, "Come, let's go to the deepest part of the cave."

【89】

In any case, we'll stall for as long as we can.

The monsters roared, desperately resisting the endless onslaught of the Purifying Angels.

【110】

Upon closer inspection, the monsters were divided into seven types, each group numbering about two to three hundred.

No names.

【116】

No names.

But there were so many Purifying Angels that, after a while, the seven waves of monsters gathered together and began to cooperate against them.

"If you don't want to die, hand the Dawn Crown to me, and I'll break it!"

【137】

All seven of them are True God Apostles, and they all come from another world.

【140】

Although they all hope to obtain the Dawn Crown, their goal isn't to rule; it's to break through this damned demi‑plane and fully enter the primary plane of the Solar Realm.

【143】

Facing the Dawn Emperor's terrifying assault, they naturally formed an alliance, with the most spacetime‑gifted Akaman in charge of breaking the crown, while the others desperately created opportunities for him.

Names: Akaman – a person's name.

【149】

No names.

Just as the number of apostle deities from the other world dwindled, another force suddenly emerged.

【152】

That force also had a huge number of people; at a glance there were tens of thousands.

【167】

"I am Xisailuo, Chief Attendant Sage of the Dawn Empire, also the cousin of Emperor Aolatesi, a member of the Safenonsi royal family; I am more likely than any of you to lift the seal on the Dawn Crown!"

【176】

Better to output each syllable separated? But we decided to combine. Let's just output "Xisaituo"? No.

Names: Xisailuo – a person's name.

Names: Chief Attendant Sage – a title. Emperor Aolatesi – a title and name. Safenonsi – a name.

Hearing this, the Seven Gods' apostles exchanged bewildered looks.

【179】

Lifu looked at Akaman and asked, "Tell me, are you confident you can break it?"

【182】

Akaman wore a look of resentment but honestly shook his head, "I can certainly break it, but we don't have enough time now."

【185】

In other words, he can't break it.

No names.

【191】

Names: Safenonsi – a name.

As soon as the words ended, another voice rang out: "He's indeed untrustworthy, but I'll make him trustworthy!"

No names.

【197】

No names.

Everyone immediately recognized the person as Gaomileer, the Supreme Leader of the Dark Brotherhood! He shouted, "I am not only Antuowanji's elemental projection, but also a follower of the Great Annihilation Goddess Feiliqisi; I have fully taken control of Xisailuo."
