The internal competition concluded with a final match between Qiuqiu and Gui, revealing their respective breakthroughs. Qiuqiu unleashed its Time system abilities, summoning past and future forms, while Gui transformed its Hell World into a nine-layered tower, empowering its Hell natives to Sovereign levels. Both pets revealed previously hidden trump cards, intensifying their confrontation.
Its focus shifted rapidly, landing upon the Heart of Time.
Nearly a week had passed since it first acquired this peculiar and rare treasure. During those days of intense study, Qiuqiu had made a vital discovery.
The Heart of Time was far more than a simple auxiliary tool for observing the paths of time. It served as the most fundamental component of the entire Time Scripture.
To put it plainly, attempting to master the Time Scripture without the Heart of Time was nothing but a fantasy; even with the manual in hand, one would gain nothing. However, when paired with the Heart of Time, the Time Scripture could manifest a level of power that far surpassed the ordinary.
If its deductions were accurate, one had to earn a specific form of recognition or qualification within the Time Shape to manifest the Heart of Time there, which then allowed for the cultivation of the Time Scripture.
While it remained a mystery why the most prized heirloom of the Time Pavilion had surfaced within the Butei Pavilion, there was no question that having everything else from the Time Pavilion was useless without this core.
And so…
At this pivotal moment in the conflict, Qiuqiu allowed its focus to drift for a brief second. Its thoughts involuntarily turned toward the silhouette of the Master of Time.
Could the Heavenly Rank Time-system Secret Realm controlled by the Master of Time actually be the Time Pavilion?
However, the immense pressure radiating from the Nine-layered Hell Tower forced Qiuqiu’s mind back to the present reality. It watched with an expression devoid of emotion as the countless denizens of hell began to arrange themselves into a formation, clearly preparing to launch a cataclysmic attack.
It was, without a doubt, a terrifying display of strength.
If struck by such a force, let alone those at the monarch or emperor rank, even an immortal would likely need to proceed with extreme caution.
Nevertheless…
So long as change exists, it is governed by time.
The Three Views of the World suddenly erupted with a blinding, magnificent light. Then, to the astonishment of all spectators, the Three Views of the World hovering behind Qiuqiu soared forward and merged into the Heart of Time.
Simultaneously, Qiuqiu’s three distinct forms converged, unifying once more!
It took on a shape that was nearly impossible to define within its icy blue silhouette. Its entire presence was draped in a shroud of nothingness, appearing as ethereal and indistinct as the Master of Time himself!
Furthermore, the Long River of Time flowing beneath its feet transformed into a brand-new state!
Unlike the Master of Time, who walks upon the Long River of Time and causes the downstream to split into endless branches, Qiuqiu’s new form caused the upstream of the Long River of Time to descend once again from the infinite void!
That fresh current seemed to signify a completely new timeline, eventually flowing into the exact moment where Qiuqiu stood and merging into the turbulent downstream.
Then came another, and another…
Infinite rivers poured in from unknown origins, all converging beneath Qiuqiu’s feet. With every new stream that joined the flow, Qiuqiu’s aura intensified and its physical form became more defined.
The Heart of Time then fused directly into Qiuqiu’s chest. Its body appeared to transform entirely into pure energy, its massive kilometer-long stature causing the heavens to roar and the earth to quake.
Gazing at Guigui, whose mask runes were pulsing violently, a trace of playfulness appeared in Qiuqiu’s eyes.
