"Where should I start?"
Gray could clearly feel that the time and space bloodlines in his body had fused, but he had no idea what kind of ability the fusion would be, and what kind of "manifestation" it would have.
Even the Book of Spatial Rules didn't have any introduction to the space-time ability, and he didn't get any feedback from his bloodline. The only information he could get was that the two types of nomological abilities had fused, so he was destined to find out on his own.
"Space-time ability must have both time and space characteristics, but what kind of ability is considered to have both time and space characteristics at the same time?"
With one hand under his chin, Gray thought hard. The contents of many books he had read during this period flashed through his mind quickly, and the super comprehension ability of his Super Memory ability was working quickly.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He seemed to have grasped something, but also seemed to have grasped nothing. However, he subconsciously used his space-time ability.
"Hum …"
It was as if he was pushing a towering mountain. It was very strenuous to push. Gray could clearly feel that it was very difficult to use his space-time ability at his current level. Almost instantly, the little remaining power of blood in his body after opening up the space was completely exhausted.
Then, he felt an inexplicable ability acting on his body. Under the effect of this inexplicable ability, his surroundings were shaking violently, and the world was spinning. The whole world was shaking violently …
When he came back to his senses again, the violent shaking of the world had disappeared, and everything returned to normal. But surprisingly, there were no changes to his body or even his surroundings. The space-time ability didn't cause any changes, as if it had failed.
"I did use the space-time ability just now, but there didn't seem to be any changes!"
He frowned slightly. The violent shaking of the world meant that he had used the space-time ability and succeeded. But even though it was successful, it didn't seem to cause any changes. At least, he didn't feel any changes.
"Seems like I can only try using the space-time ability again tomorrow!"
Feeling that the power of blood was almost empty, Gray knew that today's test would have to end here for the time being. He was going to inform Fahd and Kesha, who were not far away, to return to Chaos City.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
Not far behind him, the place where Fahd and Kesha had been standing was empty, and the two of them were nowhere to be seen. They had mysteriously disappeared.
He felt the soul connection with the two in his mind. The connection was still there, and the two of them were still alive. However, they seemed to be in a very, very far place, and he was unable to contact the other in his mind.
"What's going on?"
Gray had a strange expression on his face. With his current level of Magic Light, it was impossible for him not to have sensed their departure. Moreover, it was impossible for the two of them to appear in such a distant place in such a short period of time.
Most importantly, Fahd and Kensa were his loyal subordinates. They would never leave without his orders.
Strange, extremely strange!
Obviously, the reason for such a strange situation must have something to do with him using his space-time ability just now. But as for what kind of change had happened, the information he knew at present was too limited to be deduced.
Looking at the place where Fahd and Kensa were, his pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly walked over, and reached out to touch a plant.
It was a herb. The leaves on the surface were rather hard and serrated. If an ordinary person was grazed by these serrated leaves, there would be a scratch on their body.
He had once read in a book that this grass was called serrated grass. It was an ordinary medicinal ingredient. After being dried and turned into powder, it could be used as an auxiliary ingredient for some magic potions.
At the sight of this stalk of grass, the fog in Gray's heart was instantly peeled away. He stood up and quickly flew in the direction of Chaos City. He had wanted to use teleportation, but unfortunately, he awkwardly discovered that he had no more power of blood left, so he couldn't use teleportation at all.
However, as a third-tier existence of Magic Light, even if he couldn't use teleportation, his running speed was still extremely fast. He covered the distance of a few hundred kilometers in a little over 10 minutes.
He stood in front of the majestic gates of Chaos City. He saw the huge city gate, the exquisite buildings in the city, and the towering trial tower in the center of the city …
At the city gate, city guards in black and white battle armor were guarding the city with cold expressions. Exquisite carriages shuttled through the city. Many of them were pulled by blood beasts instead of horses. To be precise, they should be called beast carriages.
After walking into the city, Gray spent some magic coins to find a person who was said to be very well-informed in the city.
This was a slightly shifty-looking man. After receiving a large sum of magic coins from Gray, he knew that he had met a rich patron. He looked at Gray, and fawned over him.
"Young Master, please ask any questions you have. There is nothing in Chaos City that I don't know."
"When will the trial tower open?"
Looking at the man, Gray asked a very strange question. He was actually asking when the trial tower would open. One had to know that the trial tower had already opened, and he had already entered it and obtained great benefits from it.
"If you ask someone else, Sir, they might not be able to answer. But who am I? I am the most well-informed person in the city, so of course I know."
However, in the face of Gray's strange question, the shifty-looking man didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he chuckled and said with a hint of pride.
"32 days. In 32 days, the trial tower will open. Sir, you must be here to watch the show, right?"
Gray didn't answer. Instead, he tossed a handful of magic coins to the man and turned to leave. The latter caught it excitedly with a face full of excitement. He had indeed met a rich patron this time.
"As expected …"
Walking on the crowded street, Gray thought to himself. He had returned to the past. The space-time ability had brought him back to the past.
When he saw the Sawtooth Grass, he already had such a guess.
After swallowing the mist monkey's blood, he had super memory. He couldn't forget anything he had seen. That sawgrass was obviously shorter than when he had first seen it. It was as if time had flowed backward. Therefore, he guessed that he had returned to the past.
"Going back to the past is not only a change in time, but also a change in space. It is indeed a derivative ability that is very compatible with the space-time ability."
After deducing the result, Gray suddenly felt as if the clouds and mist had been lifted. He had a clearer understanding of the space-time ability.
The space-time ability had the ability to reverse and accelerate time. However, its range was limited. It was limited to a certain area.
The space-time ability, on the other hand, increased the range of the space-time ability. The space-time ability, which could only be used in a certain area, could be used in the entire world.
Therefore, time reversed, and he returned to the past before the trial tower opened.
"There are still 32 days before the trial tower opens. When I used the space-time ability, it was exactly two days after the trial ended. In other words, I have returned to a month ago."
"It's not necessarily a month ago. When I used the space-time ability, the power of blood was obviously low. If the power of blood was abundant, I might be able to go back even further."
"In this space-time, does the original me still exist?"
…
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Gray's mind. He urgently needed to find a place to sort out his thoughts. He didn't go back to his original hotel. Instead, he found a new hotel to stay in. Gray sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
Now, he had returned to a month ago, to the time before he had arrived at Chaos City. This raised a question. Did the original him still exist? Had he been replaced by the current him?
If the original him still existed, he should be in Leo City right now. He hadn't taken the rune ship to Chaos City yet. He would have taken the rune ship to Chaos City in a few days, and would have arrived at Chaos City in over 20 days.
He couldn't help but have some thoughts. If something had happened to his original body, would the same thing happen to his current body? For example, if he left a wound on his original body, would a wound appear on his current body as well?
And if the original him had been replaced by the current him, would he be able to enter the trial tower again? In that case, it would be equivalent to entering the trial tower twice, and obtaining two advancements.
"Let's not talk about whether I can use the trial tower to obtain two advancements for now. Will the current me always exist in this space-time, or will I return to the original space-time at some point in time?"
Gray thought of another question. When the Holy Temple of Light descended on his plane, their strength would be severely suppressed due to the repulsive nature of the plane. As a result, they wouldn't be able to use their great strength at all.
In that case, would something similar happen to him as well?
After all, he wasn't from this space-time. He should be the object of repulsion in this space-time. Would he be repulsed by this space-time at some point in time, and return to the original space-time?
"I still have too little understanding of space-time abilities. What I can do now is only a guess. However, whether the original me still exists or whether the current me will be repulsed by space-time and return to the original space-time can all be verified."
With too little information, Gray couldn't come up with too many conclusions. He could only give up. He planned to verify them one by one through time.
Whether the original him still existed or not, he would be able to verify it when the rune ship arrived over 20 days later. As for whether he would be repulsed by space-time and return to the original space-time, he would be able to verify it at any time.
