Permanent Martial Arts

774 Principle of Time!

Lin Feng was very shocked. Another life, another future. He had never thought about what his life would be like without the genetic fusion device.

Perhaps everything in the future would be lost. His life would be incomparably short and dark. He might never get to where he was today, and see the wonders of the universe.

When Lin Feng finished watching one of the two short scenes, he was immersed in the other.

That scene was consistent with Lin Feng’s memory. He had obtained the genetic fusion device, and from then on, he began to practice martial arts. He began to have hope of breaking the genetic lock. Everything was the same as in Lin Feng’s memory, until Lin Feng encountered a crisis. The first time he broke the genetic lock, two more scenes appeared.

In one of the images, Lin Feng did not break the genetic lock. Or rather, he failed to break the genetic lock and was devoured by the parasitic dire beasts. Then, the parasitic dire beasts wreaked havoc, turning Dragonlith City into a living hell…

Without a doubt, this was another future, another life for Lin Feng.

Moreover, at this moment, it felt so real to Lin Feng. It was as if this future was real and possible.

The scene continued. Lin Feng cultivated all the way. Just like in his memory, every time he encountered a critical moment, the scene would be divided into two. One was the original memory, and the other was a memory of Lin Feng’s “future”.

Those “future” memories did not end bleakly every time. There were still many “future” memories that were very heartwarming. However, Lin Feng could no longer reach the peak of cultivation, and lived peacefully with his wife and family for the rest of his life.

That was also another kind of life!

Lin Feng was completely immersed in the scene. After an unknown period of time, the scene returned to normal. Lin Feng’s surroundings were hazy. Everything had disappeared. There seemed to be only haziness.

A light screen enveloped Lin Feng. He extended his hand gently. As soon as he touched the light screen, countless images appeared in his mind. Some of them were related to him. They seemed to be memories, but also scenes of the “futures” he had seen. They were images of his other lives.

Some were unrelated to him and seemed inexplicable, but there must be a deeper meaning behind them.

Lin Feng was completely immersed in the scenes just now. Every scene was deeply engraved in the depths of his mind. At this moment, those scenes kept flickering in his mind, and countless thoughts intertwined. He seemed to have thought of something, and tried to grasp it, but he was just a little bit short.

“The future, another life, if…” Lin Feng muttered softly.

If he had not obtained the metal ball back then, he would have lived another life.

If he had not broken the genetic lock back then, he would have lived another life too.

If…

There were no what-ifs in the world. The hardest thing to find in the world was a cure for regret. If everyone could choose their what-ifs freely, wouldn’t the entire world become incomparably chaotic?

Swoosh.

An idea flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. It was like a bolt of lightning streaking through the night. He understood. He understood everything now.

Rewind time!

Wasn’t the essence and true meaning of time retrospective?

Right now, even Lin Feng could not return to the past, and could not change everything in the past. However, with the Principle of Time, it would be equivalent to a “cure for regret” in the world.

He could return to the past through time. He could change everything!

At that time, he would have infinite futures.

The Principle of Time. This was the Principle of Time!

The order of the entire universe was established on the Principle of Time. The other lives that Lin Feng had seen were actually not illusory, but truly existed. They really existed among the countless branches of the Principle of Time.

This was the parallel universe theory mentioned by some technological civilizations. However, they had always been just theories in technological civilizations, and there was no real evidence. There was no evidence which proved the existence of parallel universes.

Now, Lin Feng had seen through the essence of time. He knew that parallel universes really existed. Moreover, he finally understood why he was obstructed by the will of the universe when he tried to use 2,999 Principles to deduce the Principle of Time.

The reason was very simple. The will of the universe would not allow anyone to comprehend the Principle of Time at all. This was because once they comprehended the Principle of Time and possessed the ability to rewind time, and the ability to change the past, it would cause the collapse of the entire cosmic order.

The Principle of Time was the beginning of all Principles in the universe! It was also the foundation of all Principles!

If not for the fact that a Chaotic lifeform like Ao was constantly devouring the origin of the universe, threatening the will of the universe, the will of the universe would not possibly allow Lin Feng to see through the essence of the Principle of Time.

Moreover, even if he found the Sacred Stone of Anathema, as long as the will of the universe did not allow it, Lin Feng would not be able to comprehend the Principle of Time.

But now, all the difficulties had been resolved. Under the threat of the Chaotic lifeform, the will of the universe finally “compromised”. It even took the initiative to place the essence of time in front of Lin Feng.

At this moment, time no longer held any secrets for Lin Feng.

Boom.

All the Principles were shaking. The light screen around Lin Feng instantly shattered, and an incomparably mysterious Principle appeared. It was invisible. Only Lin Feng could sense that it truly existed.

The Principle of Time. This was the Principle of Time!

At this moment, Lin Feng had comprehended 3,000 Principles. The 3,000 Principles were completely consummate!

“Stop time!”

Lin Feng reached out and pointed. Immediately, the entire universe seemed to have stopped completely at this moment. If Lin Feng wanted to, not only could he stop time, he could also warp back in time.

However, warping back to the past and changing anything might cause a chain reaction. That would require a huge amount of cosmic energy for reparation and returning things to their normal paths.

Once even the cosmic energy could not repair it, it would mean the collapse of the order of the universe. The entire universe would become incomparably chaotic. At that time, it would not be much better than the universe origin being devoured.

However, even if Lin Feng warped back in time now, he could not resolve the threat of the Chaotic lifeform, Ao. This was because Ao was a Chaotic lifeform, not a lifeform of the Origin Universe at all. It was not restrained by the Principle of Time in the Origin Universe.

Hence, even if time was stopped or even rewound, the Ao would not be affected at all.

If Lin Feng rewound time, he might be able to break free from Ao for the time being. However, once Ao devoured the origin of the universe and the universe collapsed, countless parallel universes would naturally collapse, and the Principle of Time would also collapse.

Lin Feng would not run. The will of the universe had given Lin Feng a chance to comprehend the Principle of Time, and it was not for Lin Feng to run.

Transcendence. What Lin Feng wanted to do now was transcend, and he had to succeed!

In the next moment, Lin Feng used his combat body. The extremely massive combat body stretched across the cosmos. Countless Principles surrounded Lin Feng, illuminating each other.

Even the faint universe’s will seemed to be watching.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. All kinds of images kept flashing through his mind. They were all the people he had met until today, including his parents, wife, friends, and so on.

The things in the past were scenes he was deeply familiar with. The people who appeared in his mind were all people who he needed to protect.

Be it for the Origin Universe or for his family, Lin Feng had to transcend.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s conviction also rose to the extreme. He no longer had any hesitation.

“Transform into a universe!”

Lin Feng’s determined voice sounded in the cosmos at once.
