The Space-Time Wheel that could alter worldly rules?

The crowd was astounded, as was Yang Ling. He didn’t expect that such a terrifying Divine Weapon existed in the world. He could form a small dimension with the Battle Soul Blade, Binding Space, and other abstruse Wizard Spells, and he could also affect or alter certain laws within the dimension. But he’d never considered altering a whole dimension’s worldly rules, and it was really unimaginable what kind of terrifying being a person practiced to this level would be.

“Sir, I’m very thankful for your help. You can just call me Yang Ling. Here are some items I picked up a long time ago; they can raise your practice speed. They will probably be quite beneficial to your injuries’ recovery,” Yang Ling said, taking some of Moon Soul Stones, Life Spring’s water, and Blood Orbs crafted with God-Level Magical Beasts’ Blood Essence out of his spatial ring. The Corpse Wizard King next to Yang Ling knew the way of the world, and he quickly understood Yang Ling’s intentions. He presented the items to the Sound Demon respectfully.

Independence and tenacious struggle were good, but it would be foolish to disregard others and wander everywhere like a headless fly. Yang Ling hoped to get a further understanding of the Death Dimension, Star Indicators, and the Space-Time Wheel, as well as other matters. He hoped to further understand this world’s secrets. It was obvious that the experienced Sound Demon in front of him was a rare partner.

Seeking the Death Dimension’s Star Indicator was just one of his goals; he also hoped to find the way back to Earth through the Sound Demon. After all, there were many powerful hidden practitioners in the Chaos Dimension, but only a few of them were familiar with the situation of a large number of Dimensions, and even fewer could craft Star Indicators.

The Sound Demon didn’t seem like a vile, vicious, bloodthirsty slaughter god to Yang Ling, and this wasn’t what he’d expected. In fact, he seemed quite sincere even though he spoke so coldly. But, there were no free lunches in the world, and a meat pie wouldn’t fall out of the sky. Yang Ling was clearly aware that if he wanted to ask this person to teach him more secrets, he would have to pay an appropriate price.

The Sound Demon had unfathomable powers, but Yang Ling was standing near him, and he detected clearly through his great Divine Consciousness that the Energy Ripples within the Sound Demon’s body were slightly messy. This wasn’t a usual occurrence for ordinary experts. He’d either suffered an issue in his practice and got into a demonic deviation, or he’d sustained serious injuries. No matter which was true, the Moon Soul Stones, Life Spring’s water, and Blood Orbs crafted with God-Level Magical Beasts’ Blood Essence would be very beneficial to him.

Moon Soul Stones?

When the Sound Demon detected the pure Soul Energy contained within the Moon Soul Stones, he was overjoyed. The Life Spring’s water and Blood Orbs weren’t very significant to an expert at his level of the Soul Law, but the Moon Soul Stones were a different matter.

In the past, he’d escaped the God Prison with the Heavenly Nun’s help. Unfortunately, he’d sustained heavy injuries because he was chased by his enemy. He managed to survive those crises, but his injuries only got more serious. He had spent several years in meditation, and most of his body’s physical injuries had recovered, but his soul injuries still hadn’t. This was why he could only use half of his power in his battle against Yang Ling.

In the past, his injuries hadn’t been able to recover because he lacked some necessary items. This would change upon getting the Moon Soul Stones. The Sound Demon now had a few pieces of priceless Moon Soul Stone, and he was confident that he could make a full recovery in several days.

“Fine, I will accept those Moon Soul Stones. Sirs, if you like, you can stay in the valley for now, and I will tell you more about the region’s situation in a few days.” The Sound Demon returned the Life Spring’s water and Blood Orbs to the Corpse Wizard King but took the Moon Soul Stones without the least bit of hesitation. After speaking, he left quickly, and he instantly disappeared into a cave of unfathomable depths. The cave was dark, and a cold wind blew in it. Many obscure Energy Ripples spread out of it frequently, and it was obvious that a Protective Ancient Magical Formation Spell was set up on it.

The Sound Demon was old, experienced, and wise in the ways of the world. He understood Yang Ling’s intentions tacitly. One of them wanted information, and the other needed Moon Soul Stones to heal his soul injuries. This was why both sides could reach an agreement.

“Sir, no one knows how long the Sound Demon will stay there before coming out. If he stays there for ten days or half a month, will we really wait for him the whole time?” The Golden Roc had taken a humanoid form. It furrowed its brows and looked at the deep cave.

“Mertesacker, we will wait here. You go make inquiries about the situation of the City Amongst the Clouds, the Algernon Divine Branch, and other Great Divine Branches. You must come up with a way to make inquiries and find out more about the Mother Nest, the Nine Phantom Mountain Range, and other matters.” Yang Ling muttered to himself for a moment before he said, “You should bear in mind that you mustn’t expose your tracks and your power. If any unusual incidents occur, report them promptly.”

Learning more secrets from the Sound Demon was very important. Still, the various great factions were assembled in the Far West Land, and they were carrying out a large-scale search for the Mother Nest. He mustn’t miss this golden opportunity, so he quickly made up his mind that it was time for them to act separately. If the Golden Roc ran into danger, with its speed and power, it would be possible for it to retreat swiftly.

“Fine! Lord, you can set your mind at ease.” The Golden Roc bowed and accepted the order. It took back its real form and left swiftly. Soon, it disappeared on the distant horizon.

Yang Ling saw off the distant Golden Roc, then sat cross-legged next to the limpid lake. He seized the time to practice, and 10 days passed in a flash.

Swoosh!

One day, a cold wind blew, and the Sound Demon appeared quietly in front of the crowd. His face was rosy, his eyes were sharp, and his body’s Energy Ripples were better hidden. If one closed his eyes, he wouldn’t be able to detect the Sound Demon’s presence even if he was near him. It was like the Sound Demon’s body had fused with the world.

It had been just 10 days, yet the Sound Demon’s power had grown greatly. He seemed like a different person. His power was even more astounding!

“Hahaha! Yang Ling, I really have to thank you for those Moon Soul Stones. These are Crystal Stones I found in the Unending Ocean some years ago. They are harder than many Wandering Divine Beasts’ armor, and they could be used to craft strong weapons. Why don’t you see whether they are useful to you?” The Sound Demon had absorbed the energy of a few Moon Soul Stones in quick succession, and he’d recovered eight-tenths of his power. He was overjoyed, and he became high-spirited. He was very grateful to the generous Yang Ling, and he wasn’t wary of him any longer.

“Sir, thank you.” Yang Ling looked at the spirited Sound Demon and chuckled. He also accepted the Crystal Stones he offered. Those Crystal Stones were harder than a Wandering Divine Beast’s armor. And they were very precious. Still, getting close to the Sound Demon was more important to Yang Ling.

“Now, you don’t have to call me ‘sir.’ My name is Chakali, and if I hadn’t gotten your Moon Soul Stones, I would have had to hide here for a long time before I was able to leave the Chaos Dimension. No idea when I would get to return to the Unending Ocean.” The Sound Demon sat next to Yang Ling without any qualms.

After the Sound Demon, Chakali, recovered most of his power, he was very grateful to Yang Ling. There wasn’t any treasure better than Moon Soul Stones for a wounded practitioner of the Soul Law. He knew clearly why Yang Ling had given him the Moon Soul Stones. But he still felt very grateful to him for his generosity.

A little Moon Soul Stone could give rise to carnage and fierce battles between experts, let alone several Premium Moon Soul Stones as big as a palm. This would be a rare and generous gift for any Peerless Powerhouse in various Dimensions.

“Okay, well said. Why must we treat each courteously? Come over and taste the iced rum produced by our Magical Beast Domain.” Yang Ling took a large amount of rum and roasted meat from his spatial ring. He called over the Corpse Wizard King, the old Dragon Turtle Kaleisa, and the others. They gorged themselves on food and drinks, and they talked about everything. They also started boasting with the Sound Demon Chakali.

If the conversation was disagreeable, one wouldn’t desire to say half a word. But if people met their soulmate at one’s table, they would feel like they’d known each other for years.

Yang Ling quickly got close to Chakali, and they started calling each other brother. After they drank a jar of fine rum, the Sound Demon wiped his mouth and started telling the crowd some secrets.

It turned out that the Unending Ocean contained the Worldly Laws’ ultimate mystery, and one would become a lofty Creator upon comprehending it thoroughly. One would grasp the secret of the sole and unique Supreme Divine Weapon among innumerable Dimensions, and he would control innumerable Dimensions.

The Creator wanted to strictly control various Dimensions, and he had many special envoys in charge of controlling each region. Those were all impressive powerhouses. Some of them were Great Divine Branches’ Core Deities, while others were Dimensional Wanderers or Dimensional Guardians with great power. The Heavenly Nun that controlled the Unending Ocean was also among them, and she was a person at the summit.

The people wanted to comprehend the Worldly Laws’ ultimate mystery, and they wanted to become supreme Creators. This was why every generation traveled into the Unending Ocean, and some of them recklessly intruded into the God Prison. Unfortunately, entering the God Prison was very difficult, and leaving it was more difficult still. Only a few people could escape the God Prison alive, let alone become a Creator.

“It’s said that a new Creator will be born only after myriad years, and so far, only 28 Creators have appeared in history.” Chakali drank his rum in one gulp, and he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

28 Creators?

Yang Ling was very surprised. “Brother Chakali, why did I hear that there is only a single Creator among the countless Dimensions? Where are the other Creators?

“I don’t know. Now, all Dimensions are controlled by the 28th Creator, and no one knows where the other Creators went,” the Sound Demon, Chakali, said slowly, in a deep voice. “Some people say that every new Creator will carry out a fight to the death against the previous Creator over the right to control the Space-Time Wheel. Only a single person will survive. There are also some that say that with every new Creator’s birth, the previous Creator leaves quietly and heads off to the legendary Crystal Wall. They travel to a boundless high-level Great Dimension.”

The Crystal Wall. The Crystal Wall leading to a high-level Great Dimension?

The crowd was stunned again by another new understanding of their dimension. Even Yang Ling was surprised. He thought subconsciously about Earth, which he dreamed about often. He felt like he finally found a useful clue.
