Ch 42: Risk Of Exposure

Going to the past or sending someone in the past must require one to have a very deep level of understanding of time. It seems Yu Hao has also comprehended the Law of Time.

It is just that, the Law of Time Ye Xiao comprehended belongs to a Source Universe that doesn't work in Chaos, but what Yu Hao comprehended was the Law of Time of Chaos!

The difference between the two was as vast as the difference between a Source Universe and Chaos itself.

How powerful is a Source Universe?

The strength of a Source Universe could be measured based on the limit of people's strength living within.

The strongest Source Universe could only accommodate people with the highest strength of the True Divine God Realm, that is the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building in Chaos.

But when it comes to Chaos, the Nine Realms of Foundation Building were just starter realms of cultivation. These people could not be even considered as a Being of Chaos, for one has to go through the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation in order to truly become a Being of Chaos.

Every Cycle of Chaotic Transformation's Three Cycle introduces Chaos Energy into the body of a cultivator and transforms their body to become more familiar with Chaos Energy. After the final transformation, that is the Third Transformation, cultivators could officially start cultivating the Chaos Energy, absorbing and releasing them in and out of their bodies freely.

And only then could they step into the Chaos Dust Realm.

In the Land of Morning Stars, that is just a weaker land compared to other Lands out there in the boundless Chaos, Chaos Dust Realm warriors are just like beginners. In an overlord force like the Illusionary Spirit Gate, Chaos Dust Realm warriors are just Inner Disciples.

The strongest people in the Land of Morning Stars have far surpassed the Chaos Spirit Realm that comes after Chaos Dust Realm.

As for what that realm is, Ye Xiao currently has no idea.

In short words, even the weakest Land in Chaos was far superior to a Source Universe. There is no need to compare a Source Universe to Chaos at all.

Is there a Law of Time in Chaos as well?

Of course, there is.

However, the Time Law of Chaos was vastly different from the Time Law of a Source Universe.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao had comprehended all 3,000 Laws of Heavenly Dao. But in Chaos, none of the Law he comprehended will work. He had to start from scratch.

Coming back to the point, Yu Han being able to not only comprehend the Time Law but even manipulate time at will really shock Ye Xiao to the extreme. He was also shocked to know that Yu Han was not punished by the Will of Chaos even though he sent Ye Xiao to the past.

But if he really was in the past, then...

Ye Xiao asked in confusion: "Why is it that the pills and other stuff there did not work on me, but the medicinal fruit that Su Ling obtained from the Lost Forest of Red Moon immediately helped me step into the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation?"

"What was the goal that made you enter the Golden Tower?" Instead of answering, Yu Rong asked back another question.

"I wanted to obtain the treasure from the First Floor and even the Second Floor so that I could have increased my strength to at least the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformations' Three Cycles." Ye Xiao replied.

Yu Rong nodded and explained the situation: "Your strength is too low so reading your thought for a mighty warrior like Yu Han is as easy as snapping fingers. He must have read your thoughts and let you use only that treasure which could increase your strength to your desired stage Those pills and other treasures must not have been powerful enough to let your cultivation increase to the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation, so even though you swallowed them, they did not affect you. Inside the trial, what can affect you and not is totally controlled by Yu Han, since he is the only one with the ability to manipulate time to a certain extent!"

"Certain extent?" Ye Xiao noted these two words.

Yu Rong chuckled and a strange smile appeared on her face: "Although you are only 8, you are really smart. You actually caught important words easily!"

"Anyways, letting you know a little does not matter. You might not know, but time is something that no one could control, even those who could comprehend the Time Force can not manipulate time at will. Yu Han is someone who managed born from the Origin of Chaos, he was deeply connected to Chaos before he defied Chaos and escaped its rule."

"This is also the reason why he is very sensitive to the Origin of Chaos and sensed traces of Chaos' Origin in your body and soul with ease, hence deciding to send you to complete a trial so that you could obtain the First Key."

"When he was born from the Origin of Chaos, he was a Land, a Land with its own consciousness and will. As a Land born from the Origin of Chaos, his connection with the Chaos' Origin was too close, as close as blood and blood vessels."

"Chaos' Origin, in other words, the Essence of Chaos or you could say the Source of Chaos, is something that oversees every bit of Chaos. Nothing is out of its rules. And rules are hidden in it."

"As a Land born from the Chaos' Origin, Yu Han was too close to these rules and he focused on understanding the Rule of Time, comprehending the Time Force. And it was later he encountered serendipity and escaped from the rule of Chaos."

"As an escapee, he would have died if my master had not intervened and saved him. Then he became Master's disciple and his understanding of the Time Force started deepening as time passed. As of now, he could stop time for a certain period, send someone or go to the past but could not change the past, could accelerate time, could capture time, and do a few more things. As for going to the future or affecting the future, it is impossible. His understanding of Time Force is still not deep enough."

"Anyways, with his understanding of Time Force, sending you to the past is not that much of a deal. Anyway, your appearance could never affect the past in any way. Of course, the people you met in the past must have remembered you. If they are still alive and you met them somehow, they might recognize you!"

Ye Xiao nodded his understanding. He himself was someone who once understood the Law of Time and its Profound Meaning, though it belong to a Source Universe.

Ye Xiao learned many things about Yu Han from Yu Rong.

Lastly, there were still a few things he did not understand.

"Time Force? What is Force? Shouldn't it be a Law... the Law of Time?" Ye Xiao again asked.

"Law?" Yu Rong was surprised and again looked into Ye Xiao's eyes. Her smile disappeared as she looked at Ye Xiao deeply. Then a confused expression appeared in her eyes as she muttered: "He doesn't seem to be someone from a Source Universe. How does he know about Laws?"

It didn't matter if Ye Xiao spoke of Laws, but when he specifically spoke Law of Time, it means he was talking about the 3,000 Laws of the Universe that solely belong to Source Universes.

Ye Xiao was shocked to hear her. He did not expect her to suddenly mention a Source Universe, and even say that he didn't look like he is from a Source Universe!

Wait a minute...

He really is someone from a Source Universe. It is just that, Yu Rong somehow got confused.

To clearly understand what is going on, Ye Xiao asked: "What do you mean by Source Universe?"

Yu Rong again looked directly into Ye Xiao's eyes with her deep red eyes, causing Ye Xiao to suddenly feel a chill running down his spine, his body trembled violently in fear on its own.

But the next second, Yu Rong's gaze became gentle again. Then she asked: "Where did you hear the term Law... I mean, Law of Time?"

Ye Xiao knew that this was a very important question. The answer to this question might expose the fact that he is from a Source Universe and was reborn into Chaos, At the same time, if he approaches this question in a different way, it might protect his greatest secret as well.

He completely fell into silence, for he did not know how to answer.

Will it be alright for him to tell Yu Rong the truth?

Ye Xiao did not think so.

After experiencing his life of thousands of years in the Heavens, Ye Xiao knew very well the importance of keeping a secret hidden deep in his own heart, and the consequences of letting others know some secret!

He could not tell Yu Rong about his rebirth at all. Who knows it might expose the existence of a universe inside his body or the Lotus of Chaos!
