Chapter 401: Time Travel

'Time travel?'

Lynn raised an eyebrow, carefully sensing the ability granted to him by devouring the power of the black-fan girl.

As the name suggests, this skill allows him to freely travel to any time and space as long as he has the coordinates. He can also bring other companions with him during the journey.

However, unlike him, who adapts well to time travel, others will experience a certain degree of rejection after crossing time. The longer they stay, the stronger the rejection force becomes. Thus, as the name implies, this skill is merely for time travel and does not allow someone to permanently remain in a specific moment after crossing.

As for the coordinates required for time travel, there are generally two ways to obtain them—The first is directly through his smurf account, which provides stable time-space coordinates. The second method involves analyzing and collecting information related to the people or objects of that particular time and space. Once enough information is gathered, time-space coordinates can be synthesized.

For example, if he wanted to reach the era of Earth's civilization, he could try analyzing and collecting information from Klein, Roselle, and the Evernight Goddess, who all lived during that ancient era, to finally synthesize the coordinates of that time.

How long it takes to synthesize time-space coordinates depends mainly on the amount of information carried by the individuals being analyzed.

He estimated that even if the three "Transmigrators" completely opened up and allowed him to analyze and collect information, it would still take several months to synthesize usable time-space coordinates.

'With this ability, if I manage to obtain the time-space coordinates of the Pre-Epoch, I might even take Klein to meet his family in person...' Lynn muttered. To be honest, this ability isn't particularly useful for him at the moment, as he already possesses smurf accounts in multiple time-spaces and has no intention of bringing the other two smurf accounts to the Fifth Epoch to meet up.

However, in the long run, this ability will be very useful.

After all, his smurf accounts are limited, and there may only be a few slots left. Time travel has no such limitations; as long as there are coordinates, he can go anywhere.

The only regret is that the time travel ability cannot directly bring someone from the time-space he visits back with him. So if he really wants to retrieve someone, he would still need to make arrangements and try to change what has already happened.

Besides the time travel skill, he could feel that this wasn't the only ability he gained from devouring the black-fan girl. Or rather, only part of her energy transformed into this skill, while the remaining energy settled deep within his soul.

There, countless energies, clearly originating from the same source as the black-fan girl, churned within bubbles, like chaos born in the depths of darkness, yet inseparably connected to him.

'So, just how many have I devoured?' His mind was filled with questions, but he didn't dare to further probe the "reserve hidden energy" deep within his soul. He had a premonition that this reserve energy might be related to a certain plan of his.

But that wasn't something he needed to think about right now.

'Originally, I thought my purpose in coming to this world was just to become a Demon of Knowledge, break free from True Self, and gain independence. Now it seems it's not that simple after all...' Lynn pursed his lips and stopped pondering these matters. He stretched and prepared to sleep.

After all the commotion, his mind was utterly exhausted, and he needed a good rest to suppress the rising assimilation value.

'Although this time, it might not count as assimilation?'

He muttered thoughtfully. In the battle with the black-fan girl, all the abilities he used, except for the initial blessing from the True Self, were his own.

Those were abilities buried deep in his soul, forgotten by him, only briefly awakened when he encountered the black-fan girl. Now, these abilities had once again fallen asleep, waiting for the day he would master them again.

'Just how many secrets do I still have...' Lynn suddenly remembered the black-fan girl's words. Undoubtedly, she was a master deceiver, but that didn't mean everything she said was false.

Perhaps after his birth, he was indeed handed over to the black-fan girl's True Self for "care." Given her malicious personality and his instinctive repulsion and hatred towards her, he couldn't even imagine how he survived his childhood.

'The True Self was so careless! It's like handing a child over to Amon for upbringing!' Lynn shook his head in pain but then pinched his chin, marveling, 'But even so, I didn't end up on the wrong path. Truly, I am remarkable!'

One has to admit: Lynn is indeed remarkable!

After indulging in some self-appreciation, he finally lay down on the bed to sleep. As he drifted off, an invisible bubble enveloped him, seemingly isolating him from time and space, bringing the primordial tranquility of the cosmos.

In this tranquility, his breath gradually stabilized, his divinity gradually receding. After devouring the black-fan girl, the figure that had faintly overlapped with the bubble also gradually solidified into a human form over time.

…

As the leader of Silver City, Colin Iliad naturally learned from Derrick, that the Angel of Secrets had suddenly left Silver City. This information made him somewhat surprised, but out of reverence for the angel, Colin naturally made no comment. However, when the Angel of Secrets did not return the next day, he canceled the plan to explore the True Creator's temple.

Colin was not a coward. Even without the Angel of Secrets, knowing that the clue to the outside world lay within the True Creator's temple, he would have dared to lead a team to search for it. However, since Silver City had agreed with the Angel of Secrets to explore the temple together, they naturally had to adhere to the agreement until the angel decided otherwise.

So, even though he was eager to grow wings and fly to the True Creator's temple to meet the guest from the outside world, Colin held himself back and silently awaited the return of the Angel of Secrets.

Meanwhile, the leader of Silver City also closely monitored the situation regarding another angel who had descended upon Silver City—the War Angel or the Angel of War.

Being a very perceptive person, Colin naturally noticed the difference in how the two angels treated Silver City. If the Angel of Secrets showed obvious goodwill towards Silver City, then the Angel of War clearly didn't care much about Silver City's survival. The latter probably came to Silver City only because of the Fool's command or his brother's attitude.

Of course, this is understandable. Colin wasn't the type to be brainwashed by religion, believing that gods and angels are necessarily benevolent and will save mankind. On the contrary, having seen countless cities destroyed by evil gods and read numerous records about gods, Colin understood one truth very clearly—never doubt the power of gods, and never expect their mercy.

Therefore, from the beginning, rather than expecting divine gifts and placing all bets on them, Colin leaned more toward trading with gods, showing his own value to earn divine gifts and attention.
