Chapter 104 - Millions of Years ago.

Tatsuya was standing in a void, with stars shining in the distance. Although his body was much harder, it was not enough to ignore the different radiations in the vacuum.

"It's not real."

"Yes, this is just an illusion," a soft and gentle voice replied to his muttering.

Tatsuya looked at the woman who spoke; she held a small baby in her hand, beside her was a handsome middle-aged man you could see where Xiao Yu got her features.

Tatsuya looked at the baby, "Xiao Yu, I presume?"

The woman looked at the baby gently, "Yes, this is Xiao Yu."

She gently raised the baby Xiao Yu making her face Tatsuya. She softly whispered to Xiao Yu, "look, baby, your friend from the future came to meet your parents."

Baby Xiao Yu looked at Tatsuya with big eyes, "ba-ba?"

Tatsuya gazed at baby Xiao Yu raising her hand; as if trying to hold Tatsuya and advanced his hand forward. Letting baby Xiao Yu grasp his fingers with her small hands, "we will meet soon, in a million years."

The middle-aged man who had been smiling laughed, "Right kid! Soon in a million years."

His expression turned serious, "But, Kid, you are taking an awful risk coming this far behind with your cultivation. You will not survive this."

Tatsuya shook his head, "I know the risk; I have prepared countermeasures."

The man patted Tastuya's shoulder, "Well, you look capable enough. I will trust you know what you are doing."

He hesitated before speaking, "I believe you already know about the array on her; why not use that?"

Tatsuya shook his head, "there are many things I need from you; that array wouldn't be enough."

"Hoh! this will be an entertaining talk. Come have a seat." With his words, three comfortable looking chairs appeared in the void.

Tatsuya took his seat, "First thing first, why did you send Xiao Yu to that time?"

"I practice a technique called [Heaven's Divination], I sensed someone with a strong space-time aura in that period. I know that someone had cultivated [Heaven's Divination] to my level." Tatsuya was risking his life to come so far back, it was enough to earn his respect. He didn't want to lie to him.

Tatsuya was a little surprised hearing that.

"It seems you know that person." Xiao Yu's mother spoke with a smile.

"That is the very perspective of you. I think I know both."

"Both, you say?" Xiao Yu's father had thought it was one person, but it seems not.

Tatsuya nodded, "Yes, there are two."

Xiao Yu's father was curious but waved his hand, "Well, I would love to know more."

Tatsuya told them a little about Nie Li and Ying Yueru. Not too much, just initial information.

Xiao Yu's father frowned, "I see, Although I know you are holding back information. That could only mean the boy is even more unbelievable and extraordinary. It's good that you are cautious with such precious information."

Tatsuya didn't try to hide the fact that he was holding back information.

Xiao Yu's mother looked at him, "you didn't come back so far back in time just for the small talk? right?"

"Yes, I want to know what methods could be used to hide from Sage Emperors Divination? Is there a way to defeat him?" Tatsuya took such a grave risk because he wanted to know more about their enemy and the technique he practiced. Who better to ask than the person who was going to fight him.

Xiao Yu's father let out a sigh, "Yes, there are ways to hide from it. There are very few, like finding a separate dimension and hiding in it, or from what I can tell you are from Tiny World, you can hide in it. Other than that, there are not many."

Tatsuya frowned; he wanted more, "isn't there any method that gives you more freedom?"

Xiao Yu's father shook his head, "Sadly, the whole space-time is under his control. There isn't much you could do."

Tatsuya sighed, "I hope you can help me with a few things."

Xiao Yu's father agreed, "No problem, in a way, you are our successor in this fight. You will fight him one day too."

"then, I would like to start by learning more about Heaven's Divination Technique. I would like to see some of the details. Can you let down your defenses?" Tatsuya wanted to know more about Time-Space; the best way to learn was from the experts.

Xiao Yu's father nodded, he wasn't sure what letting down defenses had to do with studying the technique. Maybe, he wanted to study the aura? At their realm, they weren't worried that Tatsuya would hurt them.

"that is simple."

Tatsuya used elemental sight to watch his details; he wanted to know what allowed those who practiced Heaven's Divination to control time and space.

His interest increased as he read more information. While Tatsuya was reading more of the data.

Xiao Yu's parents' expression changed again and again; at first, they looked aghast. Then it changed to solemn before they calmed down and silently let Tatsuya read information for hours.

After hours, Tatsuya coughed; as blood dripped down from his mouth.

"Your body is giving up," Xiao Yu's father caught him.

Reaching out to millions of years in the past with his cultivation was already too much. Yet, he was exerting himself too much by reading information of someone far above his realm.

Tatsuya stabilized himself, "I can hold on a little longer."

"Boy, you will be crippled if you go on like this." Xiao Yu's mother had bent down as she looked at Tatsuya with worry.

Tatsuya nodded stoically, "I know that, but there is one more thing I want to achieve."

Xiao Yu's father frowned, "Kid, you are more important than you think, don't sacrifice like this. Nothing could be more important."

Tatsuya took out three green Materia's, "Here, I wanted to use them to create an inscription array that accelerates time. But, I must admit, I don't have enough knowledge over space-time to do that."

Xiao Yu's father took the materia; his facial expression turned to shock after seeing them, soon it turned joyous, "this what is this?" He shook his head, "Do you more of these?"

Tatsuya nodded his head weakly; sweat was starting to pile up on his body. He dropped a bunch of time materia on the floor, "will this be enough?"

"Yes!! More than enough. I will try to achieve what you want; I will put my research inside a ring artifact that Xiao Yu would be wearing."

Tatsuya's body became illusionary; he said in a soft voice, "Your name?"

Xiao Yu's father shook his head, "It's best you don't know."

"Heaven's Divination sure is scary," Tatsuya whispered with a smile as his body disappeared.

The man tried to catch the particles that were disappearing, "Yes, it is, but you have hope."

His wife came and sat beside him as she hugged him from the side, "will he be fine?" She had a worried look on her face.

The man shook his head, "Probably not, but I will prepare enough items that might help him."

The woman shook her head, "Someone who could read Heavenly Dao like a book, why would someone like that take such a big risk." They had achieved a realm that most people couldn't imagine. They noticed when Tatsuya used Elemental Sight. Not only Tatsuya was studying them, but they were also analyzing him.

"Haha...maybe it is because he can do that. Really, a uniquely gifted child, born with the power to read to destroy and restore the Heavenly Dao itself." He had to sigh at the miracle of the world.

He picked up all the materia before looking at his daughter lovingly, "Your friend sure left a lot of work for your father."

The woman smiled as she nuzzled against baby Xiao Yu, "My baby will have all the freedom in the future."

Present time,

Xiao Yu thought she saw a sword cut her shoulder, but it left no wound.

She looked back only to see a Tatsuya who had fainted. Miyuki was supporting his body; his hand was holding a white paper burning with green flames.

She looked at Miyuki, "what's going on?"

Miyuki looked away but didn't answer her.

Xiao Yu felt something and rushed inside her house; all of Tatsuya's duplicates were cracking and disappearing one by one.

Not only in her room, all his duplicates in Divine Feathers Realm, but Nether Realm were also disappearing. Even the thousand of Tatsuya's that were there in Glory City to deal with this situation. They instantly disappeared too.

His main body wasn't much better; his two Fate Souls got crushed. Heavenly Energy from his body was flowing out, his soul realm became barren filled with crack before it got destroyed. This wasn't the first time it happened. This was an ongoing process. His body was recovering with the effects of re-growth and getting crushed, again and again.

Xiao Yu came running back from inside, "Miyuki!!! What is going on."

She could see Tatsuya getting damaged and healing and getting damaged just to heal again.

"Later," Miyuki glanced at her sternly. She placed Tatsuya on the ground before creating duplicated and stated placing arrays to conceal his aura and other defensive inscriptions.

Xiao Yu became quiet after seeing Miyuki like that. She was nervous because she thought this might be related to her.

Miyuki looked at Tatsuya nervously; she didn't know what he did. He silently left the room; if it weren't for the fact that she felt an intense change in his aura. She wouldn't have even known.

The only clue she had was what he spoke before he fainted; She looked at Xiao Yu, "your ring, give me your ring."

Xiao Yu was startled; her ring was a space-time artifact that she wore since her childhood. She didn't hesitate to take it out and give it to Miyuki.

Miyuki's words made her sure that Tatsuya's current situation was related to her.

Miyuki took the ring from Xiao Yu; it was covered with sealing inscriptions. She was about to destroy the sealing inscriptions by using Cocytus. But, the sealing inscriptions unsealed themselves after coming in contact with Tatsuya's Heavenly Energy flowing out from Tatsuya.

Miyuki didn't question why it was so; inside was filled with rare items, treasures, Elixirs, and more. It was a gigantic treasure house. What caught her eyes was Materias' in the center and a letter beneath it.

She knew this must be it.

She hastily read through it, as if knowing she would need it urgently. It started by explaining the elixirs and their effects and in which order to inject.

She took out the elixirs before starting to feed Tatsuya one by one.

She also took out Pheonix Downs and X-Potions before starting to feed them to Tatsuya.

Meanwhile, Tatsuya's ability was running wild to keep him alive.
