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. Second brother, you’re surprised, aren’t you? This was the Time Pavilion’s legacy, a fragment of the Time Scripture—End of Time! This represented the only incomplete secret technique detailed within the Time Scripture Fragment. Qiuqiu had labored tirelessly for days, blending the Heart of Time with its own understanding of Time-system laws to barely stabilize it. Now, it was being revealed for the first time to give Guigui a shock. As the technique manifested, Qiuqiu felt a sudden sense of clarity. At the moment of activation, it realized that this unique secret technique shared a deep connection with the Time-system laws mastered by the Master of Time. Consequently, if this technique were used within Shenwu, the Master of Time would likely sense it immediately. Fortunately, this internal trial was taking place on Blue Star. It quickly centered its focus, looking toward the Nine-layered Hell Tower looming in the distance. As Qiuqiu’s three selves merged into this new entity, Guigui—who knew its elder brother well—sensed the shift in the tide. Instead of stopping the hell natives, Guigui pushed them to finish the Nine Nether Pavilion’s secret technique even faster. The secret technique reached completion. Within the vast shadow of the Nine-layered Hell Tower, a tiny spark no larger than a grain of rice hovered silently in the void, poised for action. Compared to the massive scale of the Nine-layered Hell Tower, this tiny wisp of light seemed insignificant. Yet, the moment it appeared, the tower itself began to shudder as if it were afraid of the very power it held. Its darkness was even deeper than the black gemstone at the tower's peak. Its energy was so concentrated that merely sensing it caused one's heart to race with dread, fearing it might explode at any second. Such a force posed a lethal threat not just to monarch ranks, but even to emperor-rank beings if they were the least bit careless. Under the rapid flickering of Guigui’s mask, this wisp of light began to perform bizarre spatial jumps toward Qiuqiu, creating ripples in the fabric of space with every appearance, like a stone skipping across the dimensions. This unsettling method of movement was a manifestation of Guigui’s mastery over space. Its intent was to ensure that abilities like Time-Slowing Breath or Eternal Freeze Storm could not interfere with the attack's path! This strike was a specialized weapon forged by Guigui to counter its elder brother and the laws of Time itself! Whether it was the Nine-layered Hell Tower or this concentrated spark of light, both contained a unique power designed to shatter the influence of the Time system.
