He was very familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the Jiuli Demon Region.
Every world was vast and boundless to all living beings.
But to the Ancestor Gods, it was equivalent to a house or even a wooden house that they had built themselves. Because they had built it themselves, they were very familiar with the materials. If not for the fact that they had lost their memories, even a foreign butterfly would not be able to escape their eyes.
Demon Ancestor Chiyou put aside perfecting the Ancient Jiuli Demon Diagram and focused on searching in the Jiuli Demon Region.
Long Chen did not expect him to be searching as well.
He focused on the palm-sized pool of water beneath his feet, which had an infinite amount of time within it.
Long Chen did not dare to move the pool, fearing that he would ruin the clues.
"Did you find anything?" asked the Primeval Dragon Servant. The six Dragon Servants had been guarding the pool.
"I need time," replied Long Chen.
"Alright, we will not disturb you. The clue to the Void Infinity Dragon is here. You will have to rely on yourself from now on. The few of us will go look for new clues."
"I'll have to trouble you all." Long Chen was extremely respectful towards these elders.
"This is not trouble, but the meaning of our lives."
The Slaughter Dragon Servant patted him on the shoulder and smiled. This guy who looked exactly like him left with the other Dragon Servants.
Long Chen calmed down and focused on the changes of time in the pool, as well as the rules of time that were reflected within.
The surroundings were extremely quiet.
He was very focused. He placed his palm on the surface of the pool to feel the hundreds of millions of different changes in time. It was not just fast or slow, but also contained many unimaginable changes, such as stillness, counterflow, and so on.
To put it simply, this pool of water was formed by countless water particles, and the flow of time was completely messed up, forming extremely small fragments that attached themselves to the water particles.
"The particles of time...."
Long Chen suddenly had this thought.
Everything was made up of extremely small particles. Then, why was time not the same? Time was like the driving force for any object to change, like a kind of power.
The thoughts in his mind kept changing. Following the rhythm of time in his palm, a new door that belonged to time slowly opened in front of him. This was a profound hall that belonged to the true controller of time.
The palace wasn't very big, but there were trillions of time particles. Long Chen had always been able to control large chunks of time, but he had never imagined that time could be so small.
A vast world appeared in front of him, filled with what looked like countless pearls. Each and every one of those pearls was a beautiful particle of time, only magnified countless times over.
Of course, it was actually Long Chen's thoughts that had become smaller.
He plucked it off. The moment it was closest to him, he felt a warm feeling in his palm.
"It's because of your transformation that the fixed Infinite Worlds have started to move."
Long Chen was very clear about this.
If there was no time, the Infinite Worlds should be still, like a lonely voice. The beginning of the Infinite Worlds might have originated from the appearance of time. Of course, the Void Infinity Dragon was the controller of time and was born in the Third Epoch, not the creator of time.
With the concept of an epoch, there was already time.
The time particle in his hand allowed Long Chen to wander in the most minute world of time.
As he immersed himself in it, he didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world. Even when he arrived, he became smaller than the time particle, so that he could see the particles more clearly.
"This time, my good fortune isn't as simple as a nomological law....
"Instead, it has brought me into a new realm of time."
He could completely believe that this tiny "pool" had been left behind by the Void Infinity Dragon during the battle before the Third Epoch. Its purpose was, of course, to guide the inheritor to find everything he had left behind.
From the initial excitement, he finally calmed down.
Even with what he had seen today, Long Chen had a new understanding. The first nomological law he had comprehended was formed by the disorder of time. Now, this nomological law had undergone a new change in Long Chen's eyes.
The most fundamental aspect of the disorder of time was the violent changes in the time particles. But at that time, what Long Chen had done was to divide time into a few, a dozen, or even hundreds of parts to disorder. Now, he knew that the time particles could produce hundreds of millions of types of disorder in a space as small as a palm.
That was the true disintegration of the very essence of the Dao.
This pool was the disorder of the time particles. Long Chen could learn the subtle changes of this new nomological law in this pool. Of course, the time particles in the pool changed gently, but what Long Chen wanted was a kind of violent anger of time.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Every particle of time was an angry flame.
They trembled violently in Long Chen's hands.
In Long Chen's hands, an incorporeal, dark blue little dragon was born. It rolled and roared in Long Chen's hands. It was a small thing, but the sound of its body trembling was very loud.
This was a new nomological law.
It was built on the particles of time.
If every particle was enlarged to the size of a pearl, then this thumb-sized little dragon would be the size of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon. Although this little dragon was small, it was actually like a pool of water. Hidden within it were the most chaotic particles of time that contained hundreds of millions of variations of time. This was a little dragon with great destructive power.
Of course, in fact, Long Chen could transform it into anything.
For example, a tree.
A flower.
A river.
But he still liked the appearance of this incorporeal little dragon the most. It was exactly the same as the Void Infinity Dragon. As for this nomological law, it did not have a name from the inheritance, so Long Chen gave it a name: the Dragon of Time.
It was very simple, but also very appropriate.
"Although this Dragon of Time is small, its power is immeasurable." In this regard, Long Chen was certainly very confident.
This time, his efforts could be considered to have yielded great results.
He stood on this barren giant planet and looked at the changes in the nomological law in his hands. Then, he looked at the pool under his feet. Long Chen extended his hand and let the little dragon enter the pool. The finger-sized little dragon swam happily in the pool. Of course, it was actually two kinds of chaotic time colliding.
Hu …
With a soft sound, as if Long Chen had activated a mechanism, the water in the pool suddenly exploded and fused with the little dragon. Then, it quickly condensed into a meandering river in front of Long Chen.
This river had a total of eighteen bends. It was like a water snake. Long Chen only took a glance at it and naturally remembered it deeply. Moreover, he remembered every detail of it.
A river with 18 turns could be found everywhere, but the details, the angle of each turn, and the length had its own characteristics. In this infinite world, it was impossible for there to be two of them.
"This is the real hint given to me by the Void Eon Dragon. It is very likely that this river in the Jiuli Demon Territory is the origin of the Void Eon Dragon's world, time."
The reason why he was so sure was that, firstly, the pool and the Dragon of Time gave him this intuition.
Secondly, when Long Chen discovered the "massacre", he was still a short mountain. Wasn't a short mountain and a river very similar?
Therefore, the possibility was quite high.
The river only appeared for a moment before the pool and the Dragon of Time separated. The Dragon of Time wrapped around Long Chen's wrist, and the water in the pool fell down. Most of it did not return to the pool, but sank into the giant planet's soil. Soon, it would dry up and disappear.
This was very ordinary water, but it had been disrupted by the Void Eon Dragon's nomological law of time for hundreds of millions of years. Now that its mission was over, it naturally disappeared, and Long Chen had obtained everything he wanted to know.
"This river must exist in the Jiuli Demon Territory."
Long Chen was basically certain.
However, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor was not easy to deal with. He had not been to the Jiuli Demon Territory for some time. Long Chen thought, "If I want to obtain 'time', I will have to pay a visit sooner or later."
However, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor's attitude towards him was not very good.
Therefore, he thought of the Primordial War Ancestor.
"If the Primordial War Ancestor is willing to help me snatch 'time' from the Jiuli Demon Territory, first, this will trouble the Primordial War Ancestor. He is a member of the Ancestral Gods Alliance, and this action will make him deviate from the rules of the Ancestral Gods Alliance. It will add to his troubles. Second, if the Chiyou Demon Ancestor is angry, he will also target me in the future. Third, I can't always rely on the Primordial War Ancestor."
From this point of view, he felt that he should not seek the Primordial War Ancestor's help. Finding the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance was his own business, and he could not completely blame it on the Primordial War Ancestor.
"The Chiyou Demon Ancestor is a proud person. Even if the Primordial War Ancestor is stronger than him, even if he directly gives' time 'to me because of his pride, it will not be good for the Primordial War Ancestor's reputation."
After thinking about it, Long Chen still felt that he could not rely on others for this kind of thing, especially when he had not tried it himself.
"If I am more sincere, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor might give it to me. Moreover, there will not be any future troubles, and I might even be able to make friends. However, if I bring the Primordial War Ancestor there, it will clearly be a threat and oppression. He will not feel comfortable no matter what."
After thinking for a long time, Long Chen finally decided to go by himself.
He had this confidence.
After returning to the Draconic Sacrificial Continent to prepare for a period of time, he openly went to the Jiuli Demon Domain. This time, he didn't come to watch in secret, but to formally pay a visit. After arriving at the Jiuli Demon Domain, he directly appeared outside the Ancient Jiuli Demon Diagram.
"Chiyou Demon Ancestor, junior Long Chen has come to pay a visit."
Long Chen calmed down and looked at the world in front of him that was filled with Demon Qi. He was secretly shocked. Under the protection and nourishment of the Chiyou Demon Ancestor, the Jiuli Demon Territory had already advanced from an Original Incipient Realm world to an Origin Realm world. It was much better than before.
Obviously, the Ancestral Gods, especially the strongest ones, were all rebuilding the world.
As expected, not long after, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor appeared in front of him. His expression was cold as he said, "Didn't I tell you not to come to my place?"
