Gods existed because of Authority, and Authority came from the understanding of the Laws and the power grasped when comprehending them. When the power could be formed into Authority, it was the time of the birth of a God, but when a God could no longer grasp these Laws, he would lose the Authority that he should have and become an existence similar to a false God.
This process should have taken tens of thousands of years. Even if Baiyi's consciousness was strong and his thinking was different from ordinary people, he shouldn't have been qualified to fight for the Authority because he didn't have enough time. However, the Law of Time that he was faced with was the Law of Time, which gave him a chance to steal the Authority.
"Now that I've gained the upper hand in terms of understanding and understanding of the Rule of Time, once I fully understand the Rule of Time, I'll be able to strip Tyramus of his Authority. By then, he'll only be a False God of Time … At the end of the day, it's all thanks to Noirciel. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to grasp this great opportunity. That's also why I'm asking you to protect Noirciel." "On the other hand, I'm not considered a god yet. Although I've gained some power, I'm still a long way from becoming a real god. Leaving Noirciel alive might be able to help us rebuild the Divine Realm that belongs to us."
"It's really not because she's beautiful and adorable, and she's a rare, angelic beauty! Don't think too much into it!" Baiyi reminded the Archmage.
"What happened after that?" The Archmage asked. He was not in the mood to ridicule Baiyi.
"When I realized that I had gradually mastered the Law of Time, I began to think of a way to return to Mia-chan's side. As you all know, the past is an unpredictable state of chaos. The scene in front of me at that time was like a completely torn dictionary. I had to patiently search for the point of time where Mia-chan was, word by word, through these fragments. It was definitely a very long process, and at that time, I was in a mysterious state as if my consciousness had been separated. On one side, I could feel the real flow of time through all of you, but on the other side, I was in a completely chaotic state of time. Perhaps it was because of this strange state that I repeatedly compared the two states of time to my left and right, so that I could quickly understand the first power, which is Time Freeze, right?"
When Baiyi first acquired the Power of Time, he did not use it to stop his enemies. Instead, he used it to stop the chaotic flow of time so that he could enter the fray. In other words, Baiyi's first use of the Power was on himself, and he did not realize that it could be used on his enemies as well. That was something he had come to understand later on.
"When time stopped, the chaotic state was slightly alleviated, and I was able to return to the past and reactivate the body I had left in the past. However, this time, it was different from the first time …"
This was the first time Baiyi had used his own power to travel back to the time when he had been sent back to the Void. It was the time when he had visited Mia in prison. He had succeeded in reactivating the body, but Mia and the old geezer did not move. Baiyi reached out and pinched Mia's cheeks, then drew a turtle on the old geezer's cheeks, but they did not react. It was as if they had been drawn in a painting.
"You really just pinched Mia's cheeks? Nothing else? "The Paladin Walker asked curiously.
"Yes! Nothing at all!" Baiyi replied with a straight face.
"Pfft!" The Paladin Walker frowned. His face was filled with regret, and no one knew what he was thinking.
What happened after that was much simpler. When Baiyi deactivated the Shackled Mode and allowed time to flow again, Mia started to move. The young Ole Geezer, on the other hand, was still sucking on the kitten in his hand. When Baiyi and Mia saw Baiyi move, they did not know what had happened, so they asked him curiously.
After that, Baiyi continued to use the Power of Time Freeze to think of a way to save Mia. Every now and then, he would stop time and snatch the kitten from the geezer's hands. Then, he would go back to thinking. The other part of his mind in the Void continued to fight the God of Time for the Arbiter's Authority, and the last part of his mind was focused on observing the changes in the real world.
It was not until the Church's invasion in the real world, and after the first round of battle with the Voidwalkers, that Baiyi finally understood the method to allow a person's mind to travel through time. This was how the Sorcerers Legion came to be. Baiyi named this method 'Time Splicing'. To put it simply, it was to cut out the time that a person's soul needed to experience and throw it back into the chaotic time of the past. It was like editing a movie, which allowed a person to travel through time and travel to the point of time that he wanted.
However, this method did not work on Mia. She was a living person, and if Baiyi used this method on her, her beautiful and lovely body would experience the passage of thousands of years in an instant.
That would be too horrible to even imagine.
"So, I suddenly had an idea. First, I used a Time Shackle on Mia-chan so that her physical body would not be affected by anything, including time itself. Then, I subtracted all 6000 years of her time, and only then did I manage to bring her back to reality …" Baiyi said with a hint of smugness.
However, this method can only be used on Mia. On one hand, it's because she's my First Chosen, so she has some connection with my consciousness in the real world. With this method, I can accurately locate her location and pull her body back. On the other hand, because she's originally a person from this point in time, when she goes back to the past, it means that she has an extra six thousand years in her time. Even if we subtract the extra six thousand years from her time, it won't affect her too much. If it were someone else, having six thousand years of their time taken away would be a huge drain on their body … "Baiyi explained.
"However, even if it's Mia, there are still some side effects to this method. Her age will forever be fixed at 12 years old. Only after she has lived 6,000 years in the real world will her age and body start to change according to the passage of time. So, don't you think she's even cuter now?" Baiyi said as he subconsciously wanted to summon Mia over to play with her. However, the little girl did not seem to be interested in his explanation. She had already gone upstairs to take care of Noirciel, Attie, and the others who were still unconscious …
"Wait a minute! Putting aside the process of saving Mia, shouldn't she be in her twenties when she went back to the past? How did she become 12 years old when she came back? Doesn't that mean she has to stay in the state of a little girl for 6,000 years? She can't get married or fall in love? "The Shadow quickly grasped a detail and asked.
"Ahem. I was a little nervous at the time. My hand shook and I cut too much …" Baiyi said regretfully. "After all, it was my first time doing something like this, so I made a big mistake …"
"Alright, alright. Let's not dwell on these details. Let's move on to something more important …" Baiyi quickly changed the topic. "While I was learning about the Laws and rescuing Mia, I not only gained some of my own powers, but I also discovered something even more interesting by peeking into ancient history …"
"That's a story from before the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire was founded. Whether it's the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire or the present day, the most ancient history that we know is from the time when humans first gathered together to the time when magic was discovered and the first country was founded. But before that, there's still a long, magnificent history!"
Baiyi's words immediately attracted the attention of all the Voidwalkers. Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces as they waited for him to continue.
"To explain, we need to start from the nature of our world. The world that we live in, including the Void, is very different from the cosmology established by astronomy on Earth. We don't actually have the concept of a galaxy or a big universe here, so we can't use the ideas of astronomy on Earth to think about this world. Instead, this world is more like a self-contained universe in science fiction …"
"Originally, this world didn't have that many realms, big or small. All the realms were condensed into one. I call it the Prehistoric World. It existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Humans also appeared there, and they also built a civilization that was more advanced and brilliant than the one we have now! I could see the prosperity and power of that world from that tiny fragment of time, and it wasn't a technological civilization like Earth, but a magical magic civilization! "
"The people of that era had a better understanding and mastery of magic than any of us can imagine. The civilization they built was even more magical than science fiction. They had even gradually mastered the power of the Laws, and they began to make the Laws work for them. In the end, human existence was no longer restricted to the body, but only the soul and consciousness …"
"Just like us in the Void?" The Archmage asked in astonishment.
"Yes, just like us in the Void. We used our souls to contain our consciousness, and we used our consciousness to control our power. This was, in fact, the great achievement that the people of that era had achieved by changing the Laws, which allowed humans to completely break away from the limitations of the body! At that time, humans possessed nearly limitless time and power. They truly owned and controlled everything! They completely dominated the entire world! "
"Everyone in that era was a god!" Baiyi said in awe. "Is it more appropriate to call it the Age of the Gods?"
