Li Xiaobai’s eyes turned incredulous, his heart deeply shocked.
An identical conversation unfolded between him and Number Two, only that in the previous conversation, he stood in Number Two’s position.
Yang Chen was horrified: "Little junior brother, I seem to understand sothing, this Illusionary Realm is too crazy."
Li Xiaobai nodded and said, "I understand too, there are no other cultivators involved, these six people are all , just at different tis. No wonder Number Four could strike as if foreseeing everything, now everything makes sense."
"Every ti I get knocked out, I return to the ti at the beginning of the Illusionary Realm, and the number increases by one. The first ti I was ambushed, after being attacked three tis, I beca Number Four. If I rember correctly, Number Two will soon be killed by Number Five, aning Numbers One and Two have already been taken out."
"According to the cycle’s rules, I should now go and take out Number Three. Since there are no other cultivators involved, it’s actually simpler; as long as the cycle continues, eventually, one of will get the ring."
The laws of the Illusionary Realm beca gradually clearer, relating to ti, not rely a predicant.
"I said long ago, what this Illusionary Realm is doing has exceeded the scope of an Illusionary Realm. Now, it seems it must involve a trace of the Power of Laws."
"The Law that can manipulate ti!"
Yang Chen said with certainty, this isn’t a test of the Illusionary Realm, it’s a test of so kind of Rule Power. If one can successfully pass the trial, perhaps they can touch a corner of so rule.
"The Law that controls ti, could it be Ti Law?"
Li Xiaobai’s mind stirred, to possess the ability to control ti would be invincible.
"Don’t get too excited too early. The more profound the Law, the more branches it has. The Ti Law also has many kinds, for instance, I’ve heard of soone who could pause ti for two seconds, or others who could move ti forward or backward for a few seconds, each very powerful, but all restricted by different rules."
"Getting the Ti Law doesn’t an you can manipulate ti at will; otherwise, the world would’ve collapsed long ago."
Yang Chen explained, the Ti Law is like this, and the Space Law is like this as well. To grasp a complete Law of Power without restriction, the conditions are quite demanding.
Li Xiaobai: "Can’t advanced Law Power be perfectly controlled, each person can only grasp a part of it?"
Yang Chen: "Of course not, there is a way to grow one’s own law for a law comprehender, and that is to take down cultivators who comprehend the sa type of Law. I don’t know if it’s fate’s arrangent, but two cultivators who comprehend the sa Law will always be attracted to each other involuntarily, eventually eting, and once a fight starts, only one can survive."
"If you can comprehend a trace of the Ti Law, and then eliminate all other Law of Power holders, you would beco the true master of the Universe."
"But don’t dream in broad daylight, those who can comprehend such Laws are not ordinary people, a single finger could crush you as you are now. Better think about how to break the puzzle first."
Yang Chen poured cold water on Li Xiaobai thoughtfully. The test of the Power of Laws is many levels higher than that of the Illusionary Realm; letting six Li Xiaobai self-slaughter to eventually compete for a ring to walk out of the Illusionary Realm, what kind of test would that be?
Laws aren’t that simple; there will certainly be a change at so crucial point, eventually leading to no winner.
"Let’s first take out Number Three and talk afterward."
Li Xiaobai lifted his sword and adeptly maneuvered to the corner step of the second tier, seeing Number Three, who also noticed him.
"You are... Number Four?"
"Why are you here again, silently approaching , what do you want to do?"
Number Three’s tone was very puzzled, with a hint of resignation.
Listening to this familiar question, Li Xiaobai’s lips curled slightly beneath his mask, indeed, these masked people were all himself, just in different ti fras.
Li Xiaobai nodded slightly, his tone very cold: "I’m here to kill you."
"Then why didn’t you make a move before?"
"That was then, this is now, the situation has changed."
"You can die now!"
Li Xiaobai swung his Longsword, thrusting straight at the heart of the masked Number Three.
The masked man struggled to parry, but as the latter cycle’s Li Xiaobai, he already knew what kind of move Number Three would make, easily breaking through the defense.
"In the next second, he’ll throw his sword at and flip down the stairs."
As expected, the masked Number Three felt he couldn’t hold off, suddenly launching the Longsword, then using both hands on the banister to leap from the second floor.
Li Xiaobai was waiting for this mont, slightly sidestepping to dodge the incoming sword, and simultaneously let go of his Longsword, penetrating Number Three’s chest.
Number Three’s eyes were filled with deep astonishnt: "This is impossible, how does he know I would jump..."
Li Xiaobai chuckled: "Because I am you."
"After getting beaten for so long, finally took one down, now let’s press his button."
Li Xiaobai returned to the first-floor hall, dragging Number Three’s body to the platform, grabbed his hand to press Number Three’s button.
"Hey, why has Number Five’s button been pressed?"
"Now only Number Four’s button hasn’t been pressed yet, I am Number Four, I’m going to win!"
"Ultimately, I’m the only one carrying everything."
Li Xiaobai pressed Number Four’s button, though feeling everything seed a bit overly smooth, all the processes aligned with the rules stated. He was the last to press the button, and the crystal cover opened successfully; getting the ring should end it all.
The ring was entirely dusky blue, seemingly nurturing a Universe within, mysterious and uncertain. Li Xiaobai reached out and took off the ring, wearing it on his ring finger. In an instant, the ring radiated brilliant blue light.
Dense human figures appeared in the corridor, Li Xiaobai saw the sa group reappear as before the ga started, standing motionless with varied postures on the corridor steps. Only this ti, there were a few more figures, the masked ones who fell from mid-air, fixed in space, unable to move.
These were the versions of himself from earlier, the monts when he was knocked down the floors.
"What’s going on, why are there so many masked people? I only died three tis, even if it’s six per ti, there should only be eighteen people total, but here there are over a hundred, have I gone through so many cycles?"
Li Xiaobai furrowed his brows slightly, his peripheral vision caught Yu Huan Shui outside the scene, suddenly thinking of sothing, he dashed toward the direction outside the attic.
Yu Huan Shui made a gesture earlier to remind him, now that he has the ring, regardless of whether this Illusionary Realm ends or not, as long as he can run out, all sches would fall apart.
Who’s going to obediently stay in place solving puzzles? He wants to violently break through.
"Hehe, I’ll keep the ring."
"Mr. Yu, quickly buff up!"
