Is it an illusion?
Having lived through an era, the Sparrow Bee was completely clueless about what had just happened.
He had clearly made his move just a mont ago, his knife already at the neck of that commander, so why did he suddenly find himself back here?
"You... what did you do?"
"What are you talking about?" Zi Yue smiled lightly, "Oh... it seems we are already in the second round."
"Second round?" Sparrow Bee was taken aback, his brows furrowed tightly, and his mind began to race.
At this mont, the Empress, watching as the grand army’s formation teetered on the brink of collapse, felt impatience flash through her eyes for the first ti. What had just happened?
She had been closely observing the battlefield; Sparrow Bee had indeed made his move, and with his speed being unparalleled among his peers after lifting the King Level seal, even her eyes could not keep up with him. But she knew, Sparrow Bee had indeed made his move.
But why... why had they inexplicably returned?
Was it sothing Zi Yue had done? What had she done?
"It’s that..." the previously silent Emperor suddenly spoke up.
"You know what it is?" the Empress turned to him.
"It should be..." For the first ti, the Emperor’s tone carried so uncertainty.
"It should be?"
"Back then... when King of Qin was sealing the Demon Statue, it didn’t go smoothly. There were several instances that were extrely perilous, but mysteriously we always returned to square one."
"What do you an?" the Empress was stunned.
"It ans just what it sounds like." The Emperor held up three fingers, "Three tis, three well-known crises, I thought we were going to die, but we inexplicably returned to the monts before those dangers and then avoided the crises."
"Such a thing happened?" The Empress frowned, looking at him, "Why haven’t you ever ntioned it?"
"I don’t rember," the Emperor shook his head, "It must be because King of Qin was using the Tianyue Plan at the ti, utilizing the power of the Thousand-Faced Fox to alter our mories a bit."
"Is that so?" the Empress nodded. They had had their suspicions before; initially, King of Qin had amplified the power of the Thousand-Faced Fox with a divine artifact, not just enlarging its range but probably also affecting their mories. Mr. Zhezhi had also ntioned that such temporary amplification of mory could be very unstable, otherwise King of Qin could have just used this thod to make all the Noble Families submit, and there wouldn’t have been any subsequent betrayal.
During the sealing of the Demon Statue, many Noble Families had already secretly pledged allegiance to the Siao Family, preparing to backstab King of Qin. If King of Qin’s enhancent of the Thousand-Faced Fox’s power could have altered everyone’s mories, there would have been no mishaps.
The most likely situation was that even though the Thousand-Faced Fox’s power was amplified by the artifact, it only had the ability to change mories, not to probe them. This ans that the Thousand-Faced Fox still could not detect their mories.
Thus, in terms of alterations, it couldn’t be done at will as it would easily raise suspicions.
What was altered... were all pieces of information that King of Qin knew, including the miraculous power just ntioned by the Emperor.
"I always thought that the force which returned us to the starting point was King of Qin’s. Now it seems it is not his; fortunately, it was hers."
Upon hearing this, the Empress imdiately grasped the situation and felt a stroke of luck; when King of Qin was in his pri, any slight mistake in the assassination would have led to the downfall of the Siao Family. If this mysterious power had been King of Qin’s, the Siao Family would likely have perished because of the altered mories, as her brother had completely forgotten about the incident and was utterly unprepared.
"What exactly is this force? Returning to the original point?"
"I don’t know... but I have so guesses..." the Emperor spoke gravely, "After that event, Zi Yue’s condition seed to worsen significantly, and her mory suffered various splits. It must be a Forbidden Technique that shouldn’t be used lightly. Maybe... it’s related to..."
--------------------------------
What exactly is the thod?
Living through a reincarnation, Sparrow Bee was utterly baffled by what was happening in front of him; could this be the fourth version of the secret technique?
"How long will you need to think, senior?" Zi Yue still wore that gentle smile, "Ti waits for no one."
"Ti..."
This word suddenly reminded Sparrow Bee of sothing, and without hesitation, he triggered his movent again. He only had a mont’s energy, and every bit of his strength was precious, but he knew that this ti he had to act; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to understand what was happening.
The feeling of making his move was still smooth, the energy inside his body... Wait!
Sparrow Bee suddenly felt sothing and had an idea in his mind.
Could this ability be?
During his confusion, the King Level speed allowed him to once again reach the front of a certain commander. Just like before, he once again sliced towards the opponent’s major artery.
The parasitic places of Ancient Demons varied, and their vulnerabilities were unpredictable, but the opponent’s Four Holy Army was modeled after the Human Race; decapitating them, even if not fatal, would paralyze them.
However, the eerie event happened again. Just like the previous ti, the instant his dagger neared the opponent’s neck vein, the scene in front of him changed, and he was back to the earlier mont.
"My senior... aren’t you going to make your move yet?"
The sa words, the sa tone, even the deanors were exactly the sa!
Sparrow Bee watched the opponent coldly; at this mont, he realized that his dagger was still at his waist. Not only had the opponent brought him back here, but they also controlled his movents.
But if the opponent could control his body, why not simply kill him?
There was only one answer...
"Ti, right?"
Sparrow Bee looked gloomily at the opponent, "Your bizarre technique... it’s manipulating ti!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Zi Yue was not surprised and imdiately chuckled, "The senior has noticed, huh? Just curious, how many tis did it take for you to realize?"
Truly?
This damn new version is so perverted?
He was a veteran gar who had extensively studied the Demon Ga settings, so when the Federation governnt recruited heroes to explore the New World, he did not hesitate to choose this world.
Regarding the content of the fourth version, he had discussed it countless tis with his old comrades, believing that the third version had already involved the power of Laws. By the fourth version, it might involve even more perverse elents, perhaps even Ti would beco a capability of so power after Space.
This view was proposed by King Chu Jiang. At the ti, he felt it was unlikely, as even Space was barely arguable, and Ti... that would be rather shaless, wouldn’t it?
Who could defeat soone capable of controlling ti?
For example, if soone could pause ti, regardless of your abilities, how would you face such power?
He thought it impossible, but reality proved King Chu Jiang right—there indeed was a technique that manipulated ti!
Was life even worth living anymore?
However, after a brief complaint, Sparrow Bee quickly cald down.
Because he could see... this technique of controlling ti had weaknesses...
First: The opponent could not pause ti; the most terrible scenario had not occurred. Otherwise, just by pausing ti, even if they couldn’t kill him, they could move him sowhere else, like right before Shenyue, and he would have no way out.
Second: The opponent’s rewinding ti did not cause him harm; this was sothing he distinctly felt. Despite having attempted to assassinate the Imperial commanders twice, he should have been sowhat drained, as he only had a mont’s worth of energy. However, upon returning to this point, he could clearly feel that the energy inside his body remained as it was before.
That is to say, after ti was rewound, his stamina also recovered.
Third: The range, as the overall situation around them did not repeat with their ti cycle, indicated that the opponent’s law of ti only targeted him individually... no, specifically just him.
The final weakness was that this ability of the opponent was locked not only on him but also on herself!
Moreover, the biggest weakness was, after ti rewound, he retained his mories whereas the opponent... did not!
