Chapter 3843: 3843 Chapter 3843: Meeting the Spirit of Time Again Lin Moyu had encountered the Spirit of Time several times before. The first time was in the great world, when he took out the Catastrophic Scepter and scared the Spirit of Time away. There were a few more brief encounters after that, but never any real conversation. This was the first time they faced each other directly. From the very first meeting, Lin Moyu knew the Spirit of Time recognized the Catastrophic Scepter not just from seeing it in the River of Time, but from witnessing it firsthand, even knowing how powerful it was. The Spirit of Time looked at Lin Moyu with a complicated gaze, as if wanting to say something. He spoke calmly: "We meet again." His voice pierced through time, altered by its flow, sometimes near, sometimes distant. The Spirit of Time was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If you disturb the seal, he will know." Lin Moyu was surprised. The "he" in the Spirit of Time’s words clearly referred to the Lord of Time. But as the master of the Time Great Dao, shouldn’t the Spirit of Time be his subordinate? Why use "he" like that? Could it be their relationship wasn’t one of master and servant? The Spirit of Time said, "Don’t be surprised. He is not my master. He is the master of the Time Great Dao, but not the master of the River of Time I am." Lin Moyu understood their relationship now. The Lord of Time could control the flow of time, reverse it, roam the River of Time, and even turn parts of it into his own territory, but he couldn’t arbitrarily alter the River of Time itself. Some things still had to obey the rules of heaven and earth. If it weren’t so, the Lord of Time could use the River of Time to erase anyone he’d be invincible. Lin Moyu said, "Thank you for the warning. Please, what is your purpose here?" He remained alert, not fully trusting the Spirit of Time’s words. The Spirit of Time replied, "I want to see your scepter." See the scepter? Lin Moyu was a bit taken aback, but then took out the Catastrophic Scepter. The Spirit of Time had seen it before, so there was no harm in showing it again. Staring at the Catastrophic Scepter, the Spirit of Time’s gaze grew even more complex, and he seemed somewhat agitated. Even his spiritual form trembled slightly from the excitement. For some reason, Lin Moyu saw a hint of longing in his eyes. After a long pause, the Spirit of Time slowly spoke: "Three gems already. Only two left." Lin Moyu’s heart stirred, and he asked, "Do you know where the fourth gem is?" "Yes!" The Spirit of Time answered without hesitation. Lin Moyu was delighted and quickly pressed, "Can you tell me?" "No!" The Spirit of Time was blunt again. I know, but I can’t tell you. This answer didn’t surprise Lin Moyu. After all, the Spirit of Time controlled the River of Time; there was little in the world he didn’t know. Lin Moyu asked, "Can you at least give me a general direction?" "No!" Another crisp answer. Lin Moyu was speechless. If you can’t say anything, why bring it up at all? Suddenly, the Spirit of Time said, "You can use the scepter to directly break the seal. That way, he won’t sense it." Really? The Spirit of Time didn’t explain further, and in this situation, Lin Moyu could only choose to trust him. He certainly didn’t want to alert the Lord of Time and risk a great battle. But there was another problem the Lord of Time could still know Lin Moyu had been here through his time imprint. His imprint in the River of Time was vague, but not nonexistent. The Lord of Time had said before that people as vague as Lin Moyu were extremely rare, and that alone could reveal his identity. The Spirit of Time seemed to sense Lin Moyu’s thoughts and spoke again: "I will erase your imprint in the River of Time. He won’t know you were here." Lin Moyu asked, "Why are you helping me?" The Spirit of Time replied calmly, "You’ll understand in the future." After saying this, the Spirit of Time vanished. "Another riddle. No one in this world can just speak plainly anymore," Lin Moyu sighed and flew to the seal. The seal was woven from layers of time. If someone tried to force their way through, it would activate and alert the Lord of Time. But if it could be shattered instantly, leaving no time for it to activate, the Lord of Time wouldn’t know. The Lord of Time’s seal was extremely powerful; almost no one could shatter it in an instant, so this loophole was as good as nonexistent. But the Catastrophic Scepter was an exception at least, according to the Spirit of Time. Lin Moyu chose to trust him. He approached the seal, raised the Catastrophic Scepter high, and smashed it down with all his strength. No Great Dao power, no fancy tricks just a simple, direct strike. With a soft sound, the seal shattered, and all the years and time unraveled. The Catastrophic Scepter’s unique power created a vacuum in the River of Time, erasing all time and years. "So powerful!" Once again, Lin Moyu witnessed the Catastrophic Scepter’s incredible might. Whether in the Soul Void or the real world, the Catastrophic Scepter was unstoppable even time itself could be erased. Lin Moyu immediately rushed in to retrieve the Twilight Drum Emperor. The imitation River of Time went into effect at Lin Moyu’s level, he couldn’t even touch the Twilight Drum Emperor. The mere aura he naturally emitted was enough to keep Lin Moyu away. But the imitation River of Time was personally refined by the Twilight Drum Emperor, so their powers shared the same root, allowing Lin Moyu to easily envelop the Twilight Drum Emperor. "Let’s go!" Lin Moyu shouted, flapping the Wings of Time’s Curse and leaving the River of Time. The wings beat violently, driving the Time Great Dao and opening an exit. Suddenly, time became chaotic; countless streams of light intertwined, time reversed, trying to push Lin Moyu back. Lin Moyu looked back and saw even the seal slowly restoring itself. The Lord of Time had set up more than just the seal. Lin Moyu beat the Wings of Time’s Curse, resisting the reversal of time and pushing toward the exit. In his soul, he heard beastly roars several beast-like monsters, cloaked in the power of time, charged at him. Their bodies were twisted, entirely woven from time. "Time Beasts!" Lin Moyu recognized them special spirit beasts born from the River of Time itself. They weren’t true living beings and had no souls, but the Lord of Time could control them. They could wield the Time Great Dao to attack, and their combat strength was not weak. The key was that, in the River of Time, they were nearly impossible to kill. Lin Moyu didn’t have time to tangle with them. He raised the Catastrophic Scepter, ready to deal with them. The Catastrophic Scepter could erase time dealing with Time Beasts was no problem. Just then, the Spirit of Time reappeared. With a wave of his small hand, time collapsed, and the Time Beasts dissipated like smoke. The Spirit of Time said, "These Time Beasts are his minions and record all information. You must not attack them." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 Lin Moyu asked, "But it’s fine if you do?" The Spirit of Time replied, "He can’t do anything to me. You should go don’t come back here often." "Thank you!" Lin Moyu glanced at the Spirit of Time, then beat his wings and rushed out the exit.
