Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 490: Divergence Line

Everyone gazed at Grey, who sat cross-legged floating in mid-air.

Shielded by the Fragment, he could comprehend the law of time in complete safety.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By absorbing the already comprehended insight into the law of time, you have gained comprehension into the law of time.]

This represented a full reset of his abilities.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! Your comprehension over the law of time has reached major succession.]

[You have gained the power of temporal control.]

[It is the Heavenly One. It set a rule barring anyone from learning a specific ability from the time law.]

"Hm." Grey opened his eyes with a contemplative expression.

Unless he was mistaken, every 8th rank ancestor had pushed a law to Great Circle level to achieve their might, since the universe permitted just one Great Circle entity per law.

"Now, let's test what I can do."

"Huh." Driven by curiosity, Grey interrupted the flow. Through temporal control, he injected frequential power into the stream, causing it to shatter right away.

The moment the flow shattered, the world flashed gray.

This time halt imposed no bodily burden on him. Yet, as moments dragged on, his core energy depleted swiftly to block the time currents' recovery, with the world fiercely resisting Grey's temporal grip.

However, the Fragment promptly refilled his energy to peak using its own force.

Time froze for them too. Lacking borrowed strength, Grey was outright suspending the world's innate time flow. They detected the time discrepancy since they drew power from the Origin Will, but the Fragment's meddling left them helpless against it. He had momentarily blocked their capacity to counter the time stop.

Right at that moment, the Fragment's wary voice resounded.

"Huh? Why?" Grey furrowed his brow.

[Divergence lines,] the Fragment declared.

[Yes. Divergence lines. Commonly known as World Lines.]

[No matter how brief the leap, jumping ahead or rewinding to the past instantly spawns a divergence from the primary world, birthing a parallel reality. Employing the law of time essentially flings you into that alternate realm. Yet, the 'Grey' in the original timeline never time-traveled. Without backing from the Dao of Time or Origin Will, any divergence you trigger becomes entirely your burden. Your present power can't bear a whole world's mass, and failing that, you'll crumble under it.]

The Fragment seemed stunned as it scrutinized Grey intently.

[Numerous divergence lines orbit the core world, some timelines concluded, yet none feature you. It's as if your current world stands alone as genuine, rendering all others without you as illusions.]

[Won't the main world face destruction under the divergence jump theory for you?]

[The main world serves as the anchor. As a fateless anomaly, any timeline hosting you becomes the authentic main world. Should you spawn and shift to a divergence line, the prior main world gets erased and supplanted. Such world annihilation causes enormous origin energy drain.]

Boom!

"Origin Will." Grey's face shifted dramatically.
