After a moment, the light and shadow in Xiao Jin's eyes disappeared, and all the images that appeared in the palace disappeared.
The old tree spirit asked: "How is it?"
Although he asked this question, he actually didn't know what he was asking.
Xiao Jin nodded, then shook his head, frowning, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.
After a long time, Xiao Jin said to himself: "If I help him once, I may be able to save hundreds of years of time. Do you want to take action?"
The old tree spirit's curiosity was suddenly aroused and he asked: "What hundreds of years?"
Xiao Jin explained: "I found that if I help Land one more time in the near future, I can advance that time point by hundreds of years. Although hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye for me, there may be many things for him.
There are variables, so I am considering whether to help him again."
Look what this means. Hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye?
Even for an immortal spirit like the old tree spirit, a few hundred years is not a short time.
"Then just help him." The old tree spirit said: "Why, helping him will cost too much this time?"
Xiao Jin shook his head and said: "That's not true, but my help to Lando before was enough for him to do things for me. If I take action now, I will be more favored!"
The old tree spirit was speechless for a long time and said: "That's not how the exchange of favors is calculated. There is no specific numerical value to indicate how much you pay and how much you can gain. Xiaojin, you are still too young!"
Xiao Jin had a look of confusion on his face and said, "Is it... like this...?"
The old man of the tree spirit really hoped that Xiao Jin could make more friends and have more contacts with the outside world. Thinking of what the latter just said does not require too much consumption, he said: "Just think about it, Lando can get to the place you want in advance.
Time point, then wouldn’t it be possible to advance what you want him to do for you? This can be regarded as helping you in a different direction! "
There was still confusion on Xiao Jin's face. Hundreds or thousands of years didn't mean much to him at all, so he didn't understand the meaning of the old tree spirit's words, but the latter wanted his help. Xiao Jin knew that
I heard it.
It's not a big deal at all, so Xiao Jin said: "Okay then."
Xiao Jin held up his hands, and a golden light bloomed in his hands.
"Tick tock!~Tick tock!~Tick tock!~"
A burst of sound sounded. It started out like a breeze, like water droplets falling, and gradually became clearer and clearer. It was the sound of the hands of time jumping.
It rushes past, towards the future, and across the whole journey!
When the light in Xiao Jin's hand dissipated, a simple gold pocket watch appeared in his hand.
This pocket watch has a light golden color, without any pattern decoration on the surface, but there is a unique brilliance flowing through it.
There is a button at the top, and a slender golden chain is connected to the button.
After lightly pressing the button, the pocket watch will open, and a golden river seems to be carved on the inside of the watch cover, coming from home and going to the end.
There are no scales on the dial, which is also made of pure gold. There is only one pointer, pointing to the top button.
Xiao Jin handed the pocket watch to the old tree spirit, who took it with some confusion.
"Give this to Lando, preferably in the near future. If it's too late, it won't work." Xiao Jin said solemnly.
Old Tree Spirit:......
I just run errands after co-writing, right?!
The old tree spirit was a little angry, and just as he was about to say something, he saw that Xiao Jin's body was quickly becoming transparent, and the palace where they were was quickly dissipating.
When he came back to his senses, Xiaojin and the palace were still there, and the surrounding area returned to the appearance of ordinary mountains and forests.
"Alas!~"
Letting out a helpless sigh, the old tree spirit had long been accustomed to this.
…………
I do not know how long it has been.
In the void outside the 'lightless origin', an infinitesimal point was suddenly squeezed out.
During this process, the small dot expands rapidly, from point to line, from line to surface, and then expands like an inflated ball with a three-dimensional reality. As it continues to change, it attracts countless energies from the outside world to surge towards it.
Finally, Lando returned to reality.
Lando calmly stared at the 'lightless origin', still recalling the experience of completely transforming into 0 dimensions.
In that state, all the rules in reality have been subverted and no longer applicable, leaving only some extremely simple, even rudimentary basic rules.
Those rules seemed to Lando to be full of loopholes, but they were indeed real and effective.
This reminded Lando of the ultimate goal of the Grand Arcanist's path...the unification of all realms!
"Simple or complex?"
Lando was stunned for a long time, and finally took a deep look at the "August Origin". This place indeed gave him a lot of inspiration.
Of course, the most rewarding aspect is about the birth of dimensions.
This time Lando went in the opposite direction, directly experiencing all the processes from reality collapse to 0 dimensions, and then reversing. It can be said that he understood all of it.
This can't help but remind Lando of a very famous weapon in science fiction in his previous life...two-way foil!
This is a powerful ability that can directly ‘print’ reality into a painting.
But if you want to truly research this powerful dimensional arcana, there are still many difficulties that need to be solved, and it cannot be reproduced in a short time.
After mentally improving this type of related research, Lando shook his head and decided to finish the research at hand first.
After all, he has been preparing for this for a long time, and now he is just about done!
Checking the time, I found that half a year had passed since he entered the 'lightless origin'.
In fact, in Lando's perception, this time is much longer, but time in low dimensions has always been relatively chaotic, and the great arcanists can only barely control it by relying on their own paths.
After returning to the Silver Tower, Lando first quietly paid attention to the current situation of the Arcane Council. After confirming that it was nothing serious, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It is definitely impossible to go back. You have already escaped from the "sea of suffering", how can you still jump in?
Anyway, he is not the first Grand Arcanist to do this. Everyone is like this. The last year or two of the rotating Speaker is vacation time. It can be said that this is the default rule.
After completing the psychological preparation, Lando felt at ease and prepared to go to the "Abandoned River of Time" to see if he could salvage some rare and good things.
Because of the resource output, there are guards specially posted by the empire outside the 'Abandoned River of Time'. Those with authority can just go there to register and enter. There is no need to look for it like going to the 'August Origin'.
No.1'application.
Just as Lando was about to leave, a message from Gastro Academy temporarily interrupted his plan.
"Spiritual Paradise? Old Tree Spirit? What does he want from me?"
After reading the message, Lando said to himself strangely.
But it was just a matter of taking one more detour, so Lando went to Gastro Academy first.
In the Paradise of Spirits, Xiao Liuli felt a familiar aura and immediately came out of the inner universe, along with several other little ones.
Looking at the little guys who were eager to try, Lando smiled and said: "Let's go play."
The little guys cheered and disappeared in an instant.
Lando shook his head fondly, turned around and walked in the direction of the old tree spirit.
When we came to the body of the old tree spirit, the place was still surrounded by various spirits.
Under the curious eyes of these spirits, Lando walked up to the old tree spirit's body, knocked on the door and shouted: "Senior, I'm here."
A green light condensed, and the old tree spirit who looked like a little old man appeared.
"Senior, do you have anything to do with me?" Lando asked.
The old tree spirit nodded, shook his head and said, "Let's go."
Following the old tree spirit as he shuttled through the forest, Lando's vision was now different from before. He could see that the entire Spirit Paradise itself should be a huge and strange spirit, which should be similar to the strange star that Lando once searched for.
, this should be called the Star of Spirits, or the Spirit of Stars!
Lando could feel the unimaginably huge spirituality surging beneath his feet, like blood vessels of life, transporting energy and nutrients.
Soon, the two came to a place that looked like a plantation, where all kinds of special spiritual plants grew everywhere. Lando even saw some quite rare mutant species among them.
The concentration of spiritual energy here is two or three times that of other places.
The old man of the tree spirit led Lando to a small field, pointed to the plants in it and said: "This is the Fresen flower that you once asked me to help you study. After so many years of cultivation, although it cannot be reproduced,
The so-called core flower cannot be born in the environment you mentioned, but the special mutant species you want that can give birth to the power of the world has finally come to fruition."
"There are currently three stable mutant varieties. The No. 1 mutant variety is the simplest. You only need to use a specific method to continuously stimulate the Fresen Flower with spirituality, so that it can obtain a benign mutation, and it will not take too long.
, but this variety only has about 30% to 40% of the efficacy of the core flower."
"The No. 2 mutant variety is a special optimization on top of the No. 1 mutant variety. However, the success rate of this optimized mutation is very low, less than 20%. The optimized No. 2 mutant variety can probably reach about 70% of the core flower.
The effect of.”
"The No. 3 mutant variety is not that simple. Unlike the No. 1 and No. 2 mutant varieties, which only require special spiritual means to induce mutation, No. 3 also needs to add various rare materials to be successfully cultivated. But No. 3
The efficacy of the flower is much higher than that of the core flower, reaching an efficiency of more than 150%. According to my speculation, different material comparisons will also affect the final efficiency, and the maximum should be around 200%."
"The relative data between No. 1 and No. 2 are already perfect. You can try to research and optimize it to see if you can get other different results. There is still a lot of room for improvement on No. 3, but my old man's
We don’t have enough materials to consume, so I can only help you get here, and you can take care of the rest yourself.”
With that said, the old tree spirit handed a piece of information to Lando.
Lando took it gratefully and immediately checked it. After a while, he put away the information in his hand, still with a satisfied smile on his face.
In this regard, the old tree spirit is actually quite satisfied. Studying various plants is not only his hobby, but also his own path.
Moreover, after developing some special rare varieties, the subsequent benefits will be considerable.
After finishing this matter, the old tree spirit said to Lando: "The main reason why I called you here this time is for another matter."
Lando looked like he was listening.
The old tree spirit said: "Did you know that there is a special spirit living in our spiritual paradise?"
Lando blinked speechlessly. He didn't stay at Gastro Academy for a long time. Most of the secrets here were just what Stellan said when chatting with him, and he didn't bother to inquire about anything.
.
The old tree spirit shrugged and said clearly: "This special spirit is temporarily living in our spiritual paradise, and the ability he possesses is also very strange and special, that is... time!"
"Time Spirit?!" Lando exclaimed.
It can be said that rules-based spirits are born with the laws they represent. Xiaokong, the spirit of the labyrinth, only masters the rules of the labyrinth that are related to space, which is already very unsolvable. The spirit of time does not know how powerful it should be.
To what extent.
The old tree spirit shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be the spirit of time, it's just...well, I can't tell clearly, anyway, that's what he told me, he said he is not the spirit of time, but a spirit with the ability of time.
"
"That's not the point!"
The old tree spirit was very angry and seemed to blame Lando for interrupting him.
Lando:......
"He calculated that he would need your help once at a certain point in the world in the future. For this, he has already paid the price in advance."
Hearing what the old tree spirit said, Lando's head was full of questions like '?'.
In fact, Lando was not completely unaware of the special spirit that the old tree spirit talked about. As early as when he came to the Paradise of Spirits a long time ago, he could occasionally feel an inexplicable existence watching him, but no matter how hard he tried,
He couldn't sense the source of his sight, so he often had to leave in a hurry.
Now that I understand the power of time used by the other party, everything makes sense.
But for the price that the old tree spirit said the other party had paid in advance...
Seeing Lando's doubtful expression, the old tree spirit explained: "He was the one who gave you the original mist spirit. He said the price was enough."
Mist Spirit? Little Mist?!
Lando's thoughts went back to the past. Indeed, without Xiao Mist, he would not have been able to successfully find the Mother of Strange Spirits. In that case, his subsequent development might have changed a lot from now.
Lando said solemnly: "If that's the case, I accept his kindness, but what exactly does he want me to help him with?"
The old tree spirit shook his head and said: "I don't know, Xiao Jin just said that the time has not yet reached that point."
Lando nodded and said: "Okay, if the help he asks me to do is not beyond my ability, I can take action."
The old tree spirit smiled and said: "It seems that the mist spirit is really helpful to you. By the way, Xiao Jin also asked me to give this to you. It seems that it can advance that time node by hundreds of years.
.”
With that said, the old tree spirit took out the gold pocket watch Xiao Jin gave him and handed it to Lando.
