Chapter 230 A New World with Ten Thousand Times the Flow Speed
On a desolate plain, the wind blows and stirs up sand and dust, revealing a piece of battle suit remnant, half-buried in the sand.
"This is it."
Ye Yang found the place by referring to his memory.
With a sweep of his mental power, he pulled out a skeleton that had been divided into many pieces from the soil at different depths.
"This is how I'm arranging my own funeral."
Looking at the headless mutilated body that had finally been pieced together, surrounded by various fragments of battle suits, but without any sturdy alloy armor, Ye Yang shook his head and casually crushed the remains into even smaller dust particles.
"These guys are really sloppy in how they clean up the scene. They seem to have wiped away the traces, but they haven't actually wiped them away at all."
In the general courses for dungeon masters that Ye Yang studied at Ziteng University, there was instruction on reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
Therefore, he easily found many obvious traces.
"Based on the study of the Silver Wing, it can be determined that when the runes on the Silver Wing are used to alter the flow of time—"
"Energy consumption is directly proportional to the acceleration/deceleration time factor (number of Silverwings), inversely proportional to the volume of the changed area, inversely proportional to the internal mass of matter, and inversely proportional to energy reaction."
"Therefore, by applying the energy output models of realm lords, domain lords, and cosmic-level beings, we can conclude that a cosmic-level being can maintain a 5-fold time flow rate difference under normal conditions, at which point the physical strength consumed and recovered is balanced."
"A Domain Lord-level being can normally maintain a time flow rate difference of 22 times, while a World Lord-level being can maintain 100 times. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for an enemy to maintain a time flow rate of up to 10,000 times indefinitely; it is generally around 100 times or 20 times."
"However, the Silverwing's disturbance to time has interfered to some extent with my 'Resonance Spacetime's' perception of them. Therefore, this must be taken into account when calculating and guessing the location where they will launch an attack on me—"
Ye Yang kept calculating in his mind while searching outside. Based on the reconnaissance knowledge he had learned, he found a large number of traces.
Then, through analysis, the number and movement of the enemy were roughly determined.
"There were 8 to 14 people when they came, and 7 to 8 when they left. They found my own blood, so it seems someone brought my head back with them."
"A headhunter?"
Ye Yang has reached a conclusion, so which way should he go now?
He licked his lips; of course, he was going to raid the enemy's base!
So Ye Yang cautiously headed in the direction from which the enemies had come.
Along the way, he also used "Resonance Spacetime" to sense things more carefully. He had recorded the characteristics of Silverwing's disturbance of spacetime, and this time he would definitely not let the enemy slip into sight.
The strength of many opponents is built upon the unknown.
Once their mysteries are unveiled and their various technological features are understood, it becomes easier to gain an informational advantage over them.
As Ye Yang ventured deeper into the abyss of purgatory, he followed the trail of the two or three people who had broken away from the group and returned, continuing his journey forward.
We encountered more and more places for the Silverwings to breed and inhabit along the way, indicating that this creature had completely overrun the Abyss of Purgatory.
The most successful type of life on Earth is not humans, nor animals, but plants.
They cover almost the entire planet and have the highest biomass mass.
The same is true of the Silverwings in this abyss of purgatory. As producers, they can form the foundation of an ecosystem and support a completely different world.
The flow of time continued to increase, by 8 times, 9 times, until Ye Yang arrived in front of a 'sea' and witnessed an astonishing scene:
silver!
A sky-covering expanse of silver!
A silver sky!
"Are all of these Silverwings?"
His mouth gaped slightly, surprised that there were so many of these creatures.
Looking out, the entire expanse of water stretches for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, beyond which nothing can be seen clearly.
Within these hundreds of thousands of kilometers of water, numerous areas are experiencing "silver storms" emerging one after another.
Those were countless mature silver wings that had molted from the water, flying in flocks into the sky.
And above the sky, there was no longer any starry sky; it was all silver wings!
It's raining all the time.
"Rain" of corpses and eggs.
"No wonder time flows at a speed 10 times faster here—"
Ye Yang was amazed; the sheer number of these Silverwing Oysters had created a unique space-time continuum!
This place has extended nearly 10 billion kilometers into the abyss of purgatory along the direction of the crack. According to calculations based on the previous images taken from the starry sky, the width of the crack here should be around 5 million kilometers.
A span of 5 million kilometers, completely filled with countless tiny insects—one can only imagine how terrifying the combined power of these tiny insects would be!
"Fortunately, there are no highly intelligent individuals in Silverwing, no 'Insect Kings' or anything like that, at least I haven't found any yet. Otherwise, if these insects were organized, it would be terrifying."
After sighing, Ye Yang attempted to cross the waterway.
He has already pieced together the "Garland of Divine Speed" composed of 120 silver wings. It's not that he doesn't want to piece together more silver wings, but with his current limited knowledge of weapon crafting, this is the best he can do.
Ye Yang's "Speed Cloak" can now not only accelerate the flow of time by 120 times, but also slow down the flow of time by 120 times.
Of course, it can only be applied to oneself, and it cannot invoke the power of the laws.
Ye Yang began to fly, intending to cross the water. Fortunately, this area was relatively safe. However, without the protection of the Swiftness Suit, it would probably cause countless Silverwing riots.
Ye Yang had already experienced how terrifying the Silverwing uprising in that small lake was; if it were an uprising in this 'sea'...
Even if it's just a riot within a few thousand kilometers, it could likely shorten his lifespan significantly in a short period, and might even deplete his energy supply.
They starved to death!
"Time flow speed 43 times, 92 times, 139 times, 271 times!"
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Just how fast can time flow on the other side of the ocean?"
Ye Yang's expression changed slightly, as he had changed the effect of the Swiftness Garment from accelerating time to slowing it down.
The time flow rate of several hundred times was terrifying; all the cells in his body were frantically metabolizing and consuming energy, causing him to age rapidly.
The same applies to the soul!
It had only flown for less than half a day and had already lost nearly 10 days of its lifespan.
Although a 10-day lifespan is insignificant compared to a cosmic lifespan of 10 years, this effect will become terrifying as the flow of time continues to increase!
Ye Yang continued to fly, but he couldn't activate the laws to use spatial movement techniques, so he could only rely on himself to fly.
Furthermore, it is necessary to balance the energy supplied by flight, the energy consumed by cell metabolism, and the energy consumed by the speed suit's time deceleration—the total energy consumed by these three factors!
The energy required for flight is too great. Although the speed increases, it also increases the time required for deceleration.
Reduce the consumption of time slowing down, because if the time flow is too fast, the consumption of cell metabolism will increase sharply!
A balance must be found, but as Ye Yang delves deeper and time flows faster, this balance keeps changing.
Even after 2 days, the time flow rate will exceed a thousand times! Most of the energy must be used on the Speed Suit to reduce cell aging and metabolic consumption.
"In the two days that this alter ego of mine experienced, my body went through at least half a year's worth of time erosion!"
But only 5 hours have passed outside the Abyss of Purgatory?
.
Ye Yang's first human clone has a consciousness that flows through time 10 times faster than the outside world, and his soul ages 10 times faster, but his body's flow through time and aging speed is 1000 times faster than the outside world!
The time he experiences subjectively differs from the time his body experiences objectively; relatively speaking, his lifespan is shorter.
Seven days after his conscious subjective experience, Ye Yang finally reached the other side of the water.
Standing on the ground, looking up at the silver sky above, Ye Yang was utterly shocked.
"1 times."
"I don't know what to say anymore."
He felt the disconnect between the consciousness of this clone and his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However—in terms of physical time, this wry smile will probably last for 67 minutes.
Because in Ye Yang's mind, he gave a wry smile for about four seconds.
"The acceleration of consciousness seems to have reached a certain limit, which should be the limit of Silverwing's talent. After the superposition of the power of countless insect swarms, the time flow rate of ordinary matter can reach 1 times, but the soul and spirit can only reach a maximum of 10 times."
"If I stay here for one year, my soul will age by 10 years, and my body will age by 10,000 years. After 10 years, this clone of mine will reach its cosmic limit of 100,000 years and collapse and die."
"Of course, I can use the original core to revive this clone again, but my soul will be affected! Because consciousness and memories are synchronized, the true soul core within the original core will also age by 100 years."
"However, these 100 years are, after all, the time that I actually spent in my subjective consciousness, and 100 years is not a long time compared to a lifespan of 10 years."
After mentally assessing the impact of this state on himself, Ye Yang decided that he could stay here for a short period of time.
He could even use the time flow here to cultivate, after all, he was confident that he would definitely be able to break through to immortality in the future!
However, we must still be careful not to leave one of our clones here to fall into a deep sleep.
"Then, the next step is to find the hideout of those guys who killed me."
A fierce glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes, and then his figure quickly disappeared into the deeper part of the Purgatory Abyss.
Several days later—
"We're back."
In the village, two silver-clad warriors returned carrying a package.
Nine children, a small minority in the village, curiously ran out to see what was happening—nine children, that's all the Bamo tribe has for now.
"Can this really still be called a race?" The elder's cloudy eyes were somewhat unfocused as the nine little devils ran around in front of him.
But it caused him pain and confusion.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Stonebreakers have brought back the head of a 'human' alien! This is great news! Didn't you always tell us that 'human' aliens are our race's greatest enemies? Now that we've killed a 'human,' they'll surely suffer immensely!"
A Bhamo tribesman said with great joy.
It seems that in his world, the death of an individual from any group is an event of immense grief.
Seeing this, the elder silently got up and walked to the two men, Jie Shi and his companion, who were displaying their "trophies".
The elder asked, "Where are the others?"
"Listen." Jie Shi Si blinked his four eyes. Facing the elder who had helped the Bamo tribe overcome countless difficulties, he could only tell the truth: "Actually, killing this human alien race felt a bit too easy to us. It didn't seem like a powerful opponent that could severely injure Yuros."
"So the others are still searching outside. They should come back once their supplies are almost used up, right?"
The elder nodded, looking at the somewhat bewildered human head, and said coldly, "Prepare to offer it as a sacrifice to the 'gods,' they will be pleased."
The elder added in his heart, "Perhaps it will make their terrible 'purgatory' a little easier, maybe."
