4340 Back to the Past

'The Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of time?'

Duan Ling Tian could barely contain his excitement when he saw the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity hovering in front of him.

"After you put away the Supreme Powerhouse, I'll send you out," the supreme powerhouse said.

"Thank you, senior," Duan Ling Tian said respectfully. However, he did not put away the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity immediately. Instead, he asked, "Senior, may I ask for your name? It's inappropriate for me not to know your name after receiving so much guidance from you."

…

At the same time.

In a pavilion on an island suspended in the endless void, which looked like it existed since the beginning of time.

A white-clad young man leaning against the pavilion smiled faintly.

'Interesting. He's able to remain calm in front of a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.'

…

Back at the location of the divine fountain.

It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian obtained a reply.

"It's not important to know my name. You'll naturally know my name once you become a supreme powerhouse."

"Thank you, senior," Duan Ling Tian said as he cupped his fists together. He did not press for the name of the supreme powerhouse.

After that, Duan Ling Tian reached out for the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. As soon as the tips of his fingers touched it, his surroundings began to distort and his vision turned blurry. Then, he lost consciousness.

…

When Duan Ling Tian regained consciousness, he discovered that he was near the Profound Energy Land's Myriad Laws Academy.

"What's going on? Shouldn't I be sent to the Realm Battlefield after obtaining the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contains the law of space?"

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. For a moment, he was confused and thought he was dreaming. He could not find his new Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. He searched his memories and clearly remembered his time in the advanced chaotic region. To confirm that he was not dreaming, he even checked his cultivation base. Indeed, he was already an intermediate Supreme God, and his cultivation base was also completely stabilized. However, where was the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of time? He only saw the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of space in his spatial ring.

"I'm not dreaming… Everything is real… So what happened? Did the supreme powerhouse take back that Supreme Powerhouse Divinity?" Duan Ling Tian wondered out loud.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian's attention was distracted by the conversation between a few students from the Myriad Laws Academy who were passing by.

"Hey, did you hear? Vice Academy Master Hong Yi Feng is stepping down from his position. It's said that his junior brother, Yang Yu Chen, will replace him and become the new Vice Academy Master!"

"Yang Yu Chen? That monster is going to be our Vice Academy Master?"

Duan Ling Tian felt that he had gone crazy when he heard the conversation.

Yang Yu Chen was Duan Ling Tian's Third Senior Brother in the Inner Palace faction. Before he joined the academy, Yang Yu Chen was already the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy. As such, he could not make sense of the students' words about his Third Senior Brother replacing his Second Senior Brother to be the Vice Academy Master. Although he had never met his Second Senior Brother, he knew that the other party's name was Hong Yi Feng.

'What's going on? Why did they say Third Senior Brother is about to become the Vice Academy Master when he has held the position for so many years?'

Driven by confusion and curiosity, Duan Ling Tian stepped forward and approached the students. He brought his student token out to avoid frightening them, and as expected, the students let down their guard after seeing the token.

Duan Ling Tian was even more confused after speaking to the students. According to them, Yang Yu Chen was selected to become the Vice Academy Master last month.

After the students left, Duan Ling Tian continued to ask a few more students he encountered about the matter.

'It seems like my speculations are right…'

Duan Ling Tian knew that he had appeared here after touching the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of time. However, after he arrived, he could not find it.

'Perhaps, I was sent here by the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. However, it shouldn't possess such an ability. It's more likely that I was sent here by that supreme powerhouse!'

Duan Ling Tian knew how Supreme Powerhouse Divinities worked since he already possessed one. He thought that the supreme powerhouse must have used the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of time to send him here.

Now that Duan Ling Tian confirmed that what he was experiencing was real, he did not return to the Myriad Laws Academy. After all, there was no use returning to the academy when he had been sent to a time when he was not even born yet. Yang Yu Chen was the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy for at least a thousand years, after all, and he was sent to the time when Yang Yu Chen was just about to become the Vice Academy Master.

'Even father and mother haven't been born at this time period, let alone me…' Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. 'Third Senior Brother doesn't know who I am at this time. If I meet him now, whether it's good or bad, it'll definitely change the past and the future. I can't take this risk.'

Duan Ling Tian wandered far away from the Myriad Laws Academy. It would have been dangerous for him to do so even when he was a rudimentary Supreme God who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. However, now that he was an intermediate Supreme God with a completely stabilized cultivation and was capable of killing some advanced Supreme God, he was rather certain of his safety. Even if he encountered Yun Ting Feng, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, he would be able to retreat safely even if he could not defeat Yun Ting Feng.

Duan Ling Tian had yet to test out his strength after becoming an intermediate Supreme God. However, he had a feeling that not many could kill him in the Profound Energy Land even if he could not defeat them.

'Even Third Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother aren't a match for me during this time,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, coming to a halt. Then, an idea appeared in his mind.

'Should I hide my identity and spar with Third Senior Brother? However, I'll have to wait for him to leave the Myriad Laws Academy. Although I can easily escape from the Academy Master, I won't be able to escape if the academy's Guarding Formation is activated…'

After all, Duan Ling Tian knew that the Myriad Laws Academy's Guarding Formation was set up by a supreme powerhouse.

…

Half a month later.

Yang Yu Chen ran into an intermediate Supreme God who wanted to spar with him outside of the Myriad Laws Academy. In the end, he was defeated with a single strike.

'Who is he? Even Eldest Senior Sister isn't as strong as him before she became an advanced Supreme God.'

Yang Yu Chen shuddered inwardly as he watched the other party fly into the distance. He was naturally unaware that the other party, who was dressed in a loose robe and a hat, was his junior brother from the future.

…

Back to the future.

After Duan Ling Tian disappeared, the white-clad young man suddenly appeared next to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity hovering in midair. His face was pale, and a trace of blood could be seen on the corner of his lips.

He murmured, "I hope it's worth the try. I didn't expect it to take such a huge toll on me despite my current strength…"
