"In any case, the battle here is over, right?" Baiyi said, looking at the black trail where the angels had disappeared. He walked up to the sorcerers, who were still in formation, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
The sorcerers saluted Baiyi before disappearing into thin air.
"Who are they …" The Archmage asked curiously as he watched the scene unfold before him.
"They came from the past. They are the forces hidden in time. They are the sorcerers of your army. I brought their souls, consciousnesses, and power back to the present," Baiyi explained. "They are people from the past, so they can't really come back like Little Mia did. Let's talk about it after we sit down."
After saying that, he walked to Noirciel's side and picked up the sleeping angel. He pinched her cheek and asked curiously, "Strange, why isn't she awake yet?"
"Maybe she wants to sleep a little longer?" Baiyi handed Noirciel back to Mia, who had been watching over her. "Take her back to Da Xue. She can use the portal now. She's no different from a human girl now, except that she can use Divine Energy and doesn't age."
The Voidwalkers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Da Xue. The girls went to take care of Noirciel, and the rest of the Voidwalkers sat down in the living room of Baiyi's house. They were all ready for a lecture, waiting for Baiyi's lecture to begin.
"We need to get the Thane and the others back, right?" Baiyi said, remembering that there was still a group of Voidwalkers outside. He waved his hand, and a few moments later, a few beams of white light appeared in the living room. The Voidwalkers, who had been fighting outside, slowly walked out.
The Lich Walker was not used to the sudden change in location. The soulfire in his eye sockets flickered, and he looked at Baiyi in surprise. "What's going on? I was fighting an angel, and I was about to win! "
'You were about to lose your life, weren't you?' He had been keeping tabs on every Walker's movements. The Lich Walker's battle was not as easy as it had been in Arfin City. The fact that the Lich Walker was able to return to Arfin City despite being under the protection of the Divine Light and the buff angels was a testament to how good it was at escaping. Look at the Demon Walker; it didn't even return!
As for the Thanes, only the Hitman Walker and the Sorcerer Walker made it back to the Void. The rest of the Thanes and the Explorer Walker had their bodies destroyed by the angels, so they were forced to return to the Void. Now, they were looking at the other Voidwalkers who had reverted to their human forms, and they were urging Baiyi to do the same.
"Don't worry, don't worry. This is a very long story. It might take a very long time." Baiyi gestured for the Voidwalkers to calm down. Then, slowly, he began to tell the story of what happened to him after he went into hibernation.
At that time, he said that he had fallen into a deep slumber, but strictly speaking, it was more accurate to say that he had just woken up. When his consciousness was fully awakened, he had the illusion that he was looking at a three-dimensional world from a four-dimensional perspective. Every action and every thought of the Voidwalkers was vivid in his mind. Through their perception, he was able to see the real world from multiple perspectives. Every object and every person was like a speck of dust in his eyes.
This state was like that of a god.
Fortunately, Baiyi was not immersed in this feeling. He still remembered the purpose of his awakening, and he began to examine his own soul. He wanted to find the soul that had been sent back to the Ancient Rohlserlian Era.
The process went smoothly, but Baiyi's current state was not something that could be measured in human time. He studied the soul, and soon, he noticed something unusual about it.
As soon as he touched the Soul Eraser, he immediately felt that time was passing quickly. Sometimes it was forward, sometimes it was backward. Sometimes it was very fast, sometimes it was very slow. The Soul Eraser seemed to have become a historical documentary, constantly replaying the historical changes of the human world.
It was then that Baiyi realized that the soul must have been affected by the Law of Time, which was why it was in such a strange state. He vaguely remembered that when Noirciel forcefully sent him back to the Void, he had seen a similar scene.
Baiyi focused all his attention on the soul, and as if he was looking up a dictionary, he began to search for the time when he had left the Void. He could not remember how long it took him. Maybe it was a long time? Maybe it was a short time? From his perspective, it felt like thousands of years had passed, but at the same time, it felt like only a few seconds had passed.
"It was only after a while that I realized that I was actually studying the Laws of Time," Baiyi said, shrugging. Baiyi shrugged. "As for why my soul became like this, I think it must have something to do with Noirciel's forceful use of her Authority. If my soul had been a complete and independent entity, I would never have noticed the change in my soul. A normal person would never be able to look at their own soul directly, but I am a special one. At that point in time, Noirciel did not even know about the Voidwalkers, so she would never have noticed the existence of a unique existence like me. That's why she gave me this gift."
"So, this is the main reason why she was exiled and convicted?" The Cleric Walker asked. His true form looked like a dignified gentleman, and he did not look like a gentleman at all. In fact, he looked more like an old-fashioned moralist.
"That should be it," Baiyi replied. "She recklessly used the Authority, thinking that she had done her duty. Little did she know that she had given me a chance to study the mysteries of time, and I used this chance to compete for the Arbiter's Authority with the God of Time. Is this why Tylemus, the God of Time, was so eager to start a war? Noirciel was just an innocent bystander. "
"But you're in the Void. How are you going to fight for power with someone who's in the Divine Realm?!" The Archmage asked curiously.
"Arbiters are not what you think they are," Baiyi said calmly. "Arbiter's Authority is not a specific object or a unique power; it's a special understanding of a particular Law. Once you've reached a certain level of understanding, you'll be able to touch the corresponding Authority. Theoretically speaking, everyone has the right to fight for an Authority," Baiyi calmly revealed the shocking news.
"What?! Doesn't that mean everyone can become a god?! "The Voidwalkers nearly jumped out of their seats.
"Theoretically speaking, yes, but in reality, not everyone can touch the Law. Even if they do, it is difficult for them to understand its mysteries," Baiyi continued. "Thanks to Bella, the Goddess of Space, I've had two chances to touch the Law. Not only that, but I've also grasped the simple Law of Space, such as the Scribble Talisman. That's why I'm able to seize this small opportunity."
The process of fighting for the Arbiter's Authority was difficult to describe in words, so Baiyi could only draw a simple analogy. While Baiyi was trying to understand the mysteries of the Soul Fragment, he suddenly felt as if something was obstructing his understanding. The Laws of the Soul Fragment were constantly changing, and the flow of time was extremely irregular. Sometimes, it would even stop. It was like reading a book, and the words on the page would suddenly change into English, then Japanese, and finally, Mandarin.
This greatly hindered the progress of Baiyi's understanding. The things that he had initially understood began to become obscure and difficult to understand, almost causing him to give up on this unrealistic effort. However, perhaps it was his determination to save Mia that made him continue to persevere. To his surprise, he found out that every time the Law changed, it was not a perfunctory change of something outside the Law, but a new Law was substituted instead …
This meant that if he continued to study the Law, he could eventually master the complete Law of Time!
However, this wasn't an easy task. The rules were changing too quickly, and it wasn't something that could be easily understood. It was like having an advanced mathematics textbook placed in front of him, and the contents of the pages had all been randomly replaced. Moreover, it was constantly being replaced, so it was almost impossible for him to continue reading it.
This was indeed beyond the limits of human thought, but the Voidwalkers had a secret technique that was very effective in dealing with this situation — Memory Recall! Back then, Baiyi had memorized everything that he had learned, and then he would split a portion of his consciousness to slowly comprehend the Law.
The God of Time, Tylemus, obviously did not know what a "dual thread" was, and he did not know that a freak like Baiyi existed. Tylemus, on the other hand, tried to stop Baiyi from understanding the Law, but it was like using oil to extinguish a fire.
"At the time, I thought, 'Isn't this the same as helping me?' However, as I learned more and more Laws, I realized that Tylemus's decision might have seemed stupid, but it was the only way he could do it. After all, I was in the Void, and he could not destroy me. Also, the Law of Design could only be solved by using the Law itself. That was how I ended up in this awkward situation, "Baiyi said. Baiyi continued. "Later on, his understanding and mastery of the Laws had fallen behind mine. For example, the ability to teleport souls and forces from the past to the present, or the ability to freeze time, was something that even he did not possess. Naturally, the power to control time fell into my hands. Doesn't this sound a little like a hacker duel back on Earth?" Baiyi's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Baiyi.
"So, you're the God of Time now?!" The Archmage exclaimed in shock.
