Chapter 115 - Past is Future, Future is Past.

Inside the Saint Soul Grounds

This place was encircled by mountains and filled with chirping birds and the scent of flowers. Forming a picturesque landscape.

At the center of the Saint Soul Grounds stood a majestic altar. On each of the altar, four sides was a flight of steps that led to the top. At the top, there was also a wide-open platform.

On the flight of steps where many people sat cultivating; But none could step foot on the altar peak.

Xiao Yu explained as she walked in the direction of the altar, "Inside this spiritual well, Earth and Heavenly Fate Realm experts can obtain vast benefits towards their cultivation. There are a total of one hundred ninety-nine flights of steps. The better ability to communicate with Heaven and Earth. The closer a person can get to the peak of the altar.

On the contrary, if the ability to communicate with Heaven and Earth is weak. Then they would not be able to take even a single step. If they try, they will suffer a giant backlash."

Miyuki glanced upward the stairs; a girl was sitting on the one hundred thirty-something steps. She started moving towards her, there was something she needed to ask her.

Tatsuya was looking at the recently empty room that he had turned into his lab. Although he said lab, there was not much in there, nearly empty Alchemy tools. Only a few of them were filled.

Tatsuya looked at the empty space that was left for a computer. He wished he could build a computer. It was not hard for him either; the Data of many computers were stored in his brain.

The problem was it would invite the eyes of the Sage Emperor. The computer would represent a completely different path. Tatsuya was sure, a creation that big. Even if he did not publicize it, it would affect the fate of the world somehow.

That was the problem with inventing items; any invention would leave the ripples in fate. He was not sure how much or how deeply the Sage Emperor could see it.

Tatsuya rubbed his forehead; even if the enemy could see the fate, it would not be so hard. The enemy that was overwhelmingly more powerful and see fate was too dangerous.

Tatsuya sighed, thinking of the so many limitations. He had a feeling the reason they were dropped in the Tiny World was because of the natural control it provided. If not, he would make things too early, drawing on some deadly attention. Thankfully, after his first invention, he got a warning from the system. That wasn't a suggestion, but a pure warning.

Luckily, it would not take much time before he has a solution to fate and prying eyes.

He moved to the table and started his work, glancing towards the Saint Soul Grounds, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed Ying Yueru was keeping her mouth shut. If she was not telling anything to Miyuki, she must know something.

Shortly after the sun had set,

Tatsuya was looking at the Fate soul covered in inscription patterns. Although it was working, efficiency was not the best. Luckily, he did not need much.

As long as it was working, he could use the system to improve upon it.

Now that he thought about it, even if he did not have a computer. He had a supercomputer stronger than any other supercomputer ever.

"Morning..." Tatsuya greeted the one on the door.

"What did you do to me!" Long Yuyin demanded an answer.

She was scared and humiliated to think she was taken out so effortlessly. Not only that, they left her on the floor.

Tatsuya stood up from his chair, "right, there is no need to keep you waiting anymore. How about we start immediately."

Long Yuyin felt a chill go down her spine, "start what?"

Tatsuya gazed at her narrowing his eyes, "the experiment."

Long Yuyin widened her eyes, "Experiment?" She didn't understand what kind of experiment. She could only see his eyes turned red, with a lotus pattern appearing in them. In his hand, he was holding a paper burning with green flames as it turned into a sword.

She took a step back, scared, "you...sto...op?" She gazed down, her eyes shaking. Gazing at the sword inside that had pierced her chest, fear crept into her eyes. "I..."

Tatsuya pulled her chin, making her look into his eyes, "Don't worry, you won't die."

Long Yuyin's eyes fell on those red eyes; she watched one of them turn white.

In the next moment, she was in front of her fiancee, the one whom she had crippled.

[Restoration starting]

"Stop Restoration."

[Restoration Stopped.]

Tatsuya created a duplicate; it's left eye was also blind, "So, eyes of every duplicate, new or old go blind."

The duplicate nodded, "Yes, but I can feel it healing even without Regrowth." It must be that Yang Release. Although it would take a long time. Decades maybe.

Tatsuya sat down, writing down all the observations he saw inside Long Yuyin and the performance of 1-fate soul in the experiment.

He gazed at the duplicate and thought, 'would the Rinnegan be able to restore it.'

Duplicate, knowing his thought used the Rinnegan in his eyes. It started glowing blue before stopping. After he got the Yang Release, the other also transformed into a Rinnegan. Most likely because it was touched by the page of the temporal demon spirit book. It gained the ability to rewind time.

Even after rewinding time multiple times, there was no change.

They both came to a consensus turning back the time changed nothing. It was a reality that the Sharingan eye had lost its light. It couldn't be cured by rewinding time.

Tatsuya had a better understanding of time, or rather a proof that time really was linear.

No matter how much he rewound the time, it would not overwrite the reality that he used Izanami. Instead, the record in time would be after he used Izanami; he tried to rewind the time.

Tatsuya's regrowth was different; it not only rewound the time. It also overwrote the details. That would mean the activity that he used Izanami would be overwritten. Allowing his eye to heal.

But, if time really was linear, then the Alternate future that Nie Li came from was in the past.

Tatsuya rubbed his face, "It makes no sense." If it was the past, then people would be able to find out if they actually look. Then why hasn't Sage Emperor found out about it till now? The future was related to him in as many ways as it was to Nie Li.

This would be only possible if he was not conscious. If he wasn't attentive, what happened. Was he injured? Asleep? or in deep meditation refining Heavenly Dao.

What about the guy named Kong Ming? He wrote on that stone that he became able to see past and future. Was he alive? If he was, he would already know. What was he planning?

Tatsuya closed his eyes to give his brain a rest.

He had been working for the whole day inside the Myriad Painting time was flowing much faster. A day was like living 9 days at once. On top of that, he tired himself out by going through Long Yuyin's past. At the same time working on all this.

Then there was this, "You came sooner than expected."

A dagger appeared on Tatsuya's neck, "what did you do to her."

"A simple experiment..." Tatsuya said while leaning back resting. Not minding the dagger at all.

Soaring bloodlust covered Tatsuya's body, "free her."

Whispering, he said, "not before the experiment is over."

The dagger was trembling; it appeared that the assaulter was trying her best not to stab him.

"How about we do a different experiment." The assaulter said.

Tatsuya could feel the tip of the dagger touch there, "We could see if I stab this; will you still be so obstinate?"

Tatsuya didn't even bother; even if she did that, there were many ways to heal himself. Pain? The pain was nothing. More than that, that was if she could do that, "stab? how?"

"Of course with the dag..er?" She backed away from Tatsuya as she looked at her hand. The dagger that was in her hand had disappeared. She backed away to create a distance. She was sure it was in her hand, she didn't even feel anything.

Tatsuya rotated his chair to face the intruder. He gazed at the woman, who looked very similar to Long Yuyin, just more mature, "You must be her mother." He had seen her in Long Yuyin's memory.

The woman in front of him was devastatingly beautiful. She had a mature charm to her. Currently, she was knitting her brows as she looked at Tatsuya. She already knew the boy was weird, but this was too weird. She came this morning trying to find her daughter. After seeing her on the floor sleeping, she was furious. But, she thought it was good that Long Yuyin faced some difficulties.

She went home, but she kept her eye on Long Yuyin. She was too slow to reach her when Tatsuya stabbed her.

But, in the next moment, Tatsuya had removed the sword. Her daughter was fine but unconscious. She wanted to threaten Tatsuya, making him undo whatever he did to her daughter. But, to think he was able to take away the weapon from her, without her even noticing how.

"Kurohitsugi..."
