Whoosh! The tides surged and the waves surged.
The ancient River of Time kept on trembling, and the waves surged. In the illusory river, the Time King's shout was like a clap of thunder. At this moment, it awakened the ancient behemoth that was coiled in the endless river. The behemoth roared and set off waves that shook the heavens and the earth.
The rumbling continued without end, and the huge commotion resounded throughout the past and present, unable to subside for a long time.
Hearing the Time King's shout, thousands of Shaya's will fragments awakened at this moment.
It was as if many earth-shattering voices had gathered together.
"I don't belong to this era. I come from the 'present'. The past only exists in my memories. Now, it's time to awaken!"
As if haunted by a dream, the Shaya at different points in time uttered these words at the same time.
At this moment, all the Shaya in space-time recalled their identities. They came from the future, from the true 'present'. The space-time of the past had already become illusory and was unable to bear the consciousness of the present.
With this understanding, the rest of the matter was logical.
All the Shaya in space-time worked as one, activating the space-time powers in their bodies. Then, these space-time powers exerted their strength together, as if they were strongly restrained by something, and they floated towards a specific point in the River of Time.
Amidst the turbulent waves of time, the Shaya in the illusory past was swimming towards the 'present' point in time with great difficulty through the space-time powers. The Shaya in the future was also moving towards the 'present' point in time. The past was waiting for the past, and the future was waiting for the future. Then, at this point in time, the various Shaya gathered together through the space-time powers. Just like individuals from parallel universes fusing together, they also started to fuse, and then they continued moving towards a specific destination.
"Let's go. Let's move towards the 'present' together."
"Let's go together."
"I've been waiting here for a long time."
As these figures kept swimming towards the 'present', due to their fusion, their strength kept increasing, and their numbers kept decreasing. They kept assimilating, and finally, they gradually converged into one.
The sound of water splashing echoed in his ears. When the "present" time node was right in front of him, the number of Shaya in the entire timeline had been reduced to three.
They were the past Shaya, the present Shaya, and the future Shaya.
…
"They're coming."
The Time King's starry eyes flashed and his lips opened and closed slightly. It was as if he was a supreme god making a judgment. As soon as his voice fell, the space above the Time Realm surged and huge waves appeared.
"What, what is coming?" 18 asked in confusion.
King Yu and King Time smiled without saying a word. They merely raised their heads and looked at him expectantly.
Majin Buu and 18 stood on the side, and then under their shocked gazes, the twelve illusory three-phase space-time universes seemed to have experienced the division of ancient times. Fine cracks appeared on the surface, and then the cracks grew larger and larger. Suddenly, they all burst apart and turned into snowflake-like crystal clear star fragments, fluttering in the air with the wind.
Following the collapse of the three-phase space-time, the four bright pocket-sized water balls reappeared in their original positions. Compared to before, these four water balls didn't seem to have changed at all.
However, whether it was in the eyes of 18 or Majin Buu, they felt that something had changed.
Boom!
A loud sound that shook the mind struck their souls.
18 and Majin Buu unconsciously took a few steps back and raised their heads, revealing a horrified expression on their faces.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, two cracks suddenly appeared in the flawless sky, and two white figures walked out of the cracks. They were Shaya, who represented all the space-time of the "past", and Shaya, who represented the countless possibilities of the "future".
As soon as the two Shaya appeared and saw the main body sitting cross-legged below, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Then, they turned into two streams of light and whizzed towards Shaya on the ground.
Below, the eyebrows of Shaya, who was sitting cross-legged, moved slightly, and his body suddenly bloomed with countless bright light rays, like a small sun, constantly emitting blazing light.
"Next is the critical moment. As long as he succeeds, Shaya will step into the 5th level of the Divine Realm." Looking at Shaya, whose entire body was emitting dazzling light, Great Celestial Official Mavis laughed softly.
Fusing with the past and absorbing the future, as long as this step is completed, Shaya will be completely separated from the timeline.
This is what the God of Time must do in order to advance to the 5th level of the Divine Realm, and it is also a step that must be taken.
This was because any version of himself that existed in the past was actually a potential unstable factor for the Heavenly God of Time who had grasped the power of space-time. The laws of time were the most unfathomable. In the face of the laws of space-time, even someone as powerful as Zeno and the Great Priest appeared insignificant. Anything that was unreasonable and beyond common sense could happen.
When the God of Time is at the 4th level of the Divine Realm, she will restrain all of her parallel universes and become the only one at the current point in time. This is actually a kind of self-protection, in order to more reasonably protect each parallel universe.
However, this kind of restrain is only at the current point in time, after all, and cannot cover the entire timeline.
Therefore, if someone activates a time machine or uses the space-time ability to travel back in time, it will also fundamentally affect the existence of the God of Time.
Due to the existence of the rules of space-time, any action of traveling back in time will only cause the birth of a new parallel universe and will not affect the existing space-time. Moreover, the newly born parallel universe will also quickly fuse with the God of Time's body due to the 4th level of the Divine Realm. However, there are often some methods, such as "extinction", the power of the King of Time, or the power of order, which can avoid the birth of parallel universes to a certain extent, allowing others to travel in the real timeline.
Just like what the King of Time and King Yu did this time.
That is an extremely terrifying thing, and it may even destroy the structure of the world in terms of the law of causality.
Therefore, for some specific gods, it is not impossible to travel back in time and kill the enemy before they grow up.
The 5th level of the Divine Realm, jumping out of the timeline, is a kind of self-improvement to deal with this kind of method.
Getting back to the main point, when the three universes of Shaya completely fused into one, inside Shaya's body, a miraculous scene is also happening.
Chi, chi, chi. A sound that sounded like a low chant rang out inside his body. Shaya felt that his soul was constantly growing, and his consciousness began to separate from his body, looking at the whole world from a higher perspective. At this time, everything in the world seemed to appear in his heart.
He saw the past, the humble self that was moving forward.
He saw the future, the struggling self.
He saw the present, the unmoving self.
However, all of this, when his selves fused together, changed.
His past self completely disappeared and was replaced by numerous illusory figures, just like Flisa who was "extinguished" by himself. His past self also no longer existed, but there is one thing that is different from Flisa. Shaya can descend into the past at any time. In other words, each of his past selves is actually a projection of his "present self."
At the same time, the future is also changing. All of his future selves have disappeared. This is a true disappearance.
Since the future is originally full of infinite possibilities, it is like a small river that is constantly branching out, and ultimately flowing to an unknown place. Under the condition of time convergence, the future that has never happened is meaningless in Shaya's eyes.
Even if all kinds of possibilities still exist, they are all illusory without being materialized.
At this time, in Shaya's eyes, the past, present, and future are all a mixture of chaos.
The so-called "ten thousand years in a blink of an eye" is nothing more than this.
Accompanied by the sound of rolling waves, Shaya's consciousness returned to his body. At this time, he felt his spirit and soul abruptly tremble, and the energy within his body started to expand. The golden energy that fused with time, order, and miracles started to grow from a drop of liquid. One drop, two drops, three drops … Very soon, it became the size of a fist.
Not long after, Shaya's entire heart turned dark gold, and a golden liquid continuously flowed out from his heart.
Bang!
A powerful pressure engulfed the surroundings, and the green planet rumbled and shook.
King Yu and King Time looked on expectantly. When Shaya opened his pair of dark gold eyes, a joyful smile appeared on their faces.
"Congratulations, Shaya, for successfully advancing to the fifth level of the Divine Realm."
