Chapter 709: Receiving Insights from the Laws of Time

Yi Chen clearly did not know that Boses and Titan Bo were considering extending their contract duration.

If he had known, he would have welcomed the idea and immediately agreed to sign a new long-term contract.

After all, both of them were level 220 strong fighters and would be useful for a long time to come.

When the Shadow King landed on a life planet, he transformed into the shape of a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member and teleported through a spatial rift to the nearest life planet to the teleportation array.

Upon reaching the location of the teleportation array, he used it to return to the blood-colored planet.

"Notify the Political Council to gather all top geniuses. In a month, we will have the eleventh Skill Teaching session," Yi Chen instructed Bai Ruo Xin.

Bai Ruo Xin nodded and immediately went to inform the Political Council.

Yi Chen controlled his flying treasure and instantly arrived in outer space.

"Enter my Map of Mountains and Rivers for training!"

Yi Chen took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and a powerful pull swept towards the Shadow King.

The Shadow King did not resist as the Map of Mountains and Rivers drew him into its space.

Following that, Yi Chen let his flying treasure hover in outer space while he entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers along with the Little Gold Ball.

He did not train but took out the powerful treasure, beginning to comprehend the powers of the laws of time within it.

At the moment, there wasn’t much of a crisis; there was no need for a desperate boost in strength realm. He was more interested in creating a technique to master the laws of time.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

The difficulty exceeded Yi Chen’s expectations.

After more than ten hours, he managed to grasp the deeply profound powers of the laws of time from the treasure.

However, the problem was that he could not fully understand it.

Soon, Yi Chen realized his situation was akin to jumping straight into university courses without finishing his high school lessons.

He had missed a giant portion in between.

This gap meant that the knowledge of the laws of time he had mastered was not sufficient to fully comprehend what he was trying to learn from the treasure.

“It seems I still need to go step by step!”

After considering this, Yi Chen sent a message to the Shadow King, instructing him to release Mares, Boses, and Titan Bo.

Soon, Mares and the others exited the Shadow King’s flying treasure and came before Yi Chen.

Although their faces were calm, their hearts were filled with excitement.

For Mares, the most thrilling aspect was that Yi Chen finally found a way for him to be useful again.

With Boses and Titan Bo being captured and surrendered, it wasn’t just Mares, a level 200 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, but even the level 210 Boljin Tribe strong fighters had lost their sense of presence and significance in front of Yi Chen.

During this time, Mares had felt anxious and uneasy, worrying that Yi Chen no longer needed him and might toss him aside.

Once the contract duration expired, he feared he would be set free.

In the past, he would have desperately wanted this.

But now…

He just wanted to learn from the Shadow King and cling to this golden opportunity.

He understood very well that a useless person did not have the right to cling to someone powerful.

For this reason, when he learned that Yi Chen found him useful again, he was naturally filled with excitement.

As for Boses and Titan Bo, their excitement stemmed from having gained Yi Chen’s trust.

The strength of the two had reached level 220, far beyond what Yi Chen could control.

Thus, in the early days, Yi Chen had always opted to sign a life-and-death contract with them while avoiding direct contact, letting only the Shadow King interact with them.

This strategy avoided the risk of Boses and Titan Bo suddenly turning against him.

If the Shadow King controlled their lives and they suddenly rebelled, they could easily kill the Shadow King. Then, they would still suffer the backlash of the contract, leading to a dead end for them.

Conversely, if Yi Chen controlled their lives and they rebelled, killing the Shadow King, Yi Chen could sense this through the contract and immediately ensure they faced the most severe consequences, making it impossible for them to live or die.

Right now, Yi Chen needed them to assist him face-to-face, which clearly indicated that he was starting to trust them and was not worried they would use their incredible strength to kill him.

This was undoubtedly a significant advancement.

“Mares, let’s start with you. Use your Perception Ability to transmit all your insights about the laws of time to me!”

Yi Chen did not ponder as much as the others; although he was the weakest in strength realm, before the three of them, he was undoubtedly the superior.

As their leader, he didn’t need to guess his subordinates’ thoughts.

“Okay!”

Mares quickly nodded, organizing his understanding of the laws of time, then using his Perception Ability to transmit it continually to Yi Chen.

“Wait!”

As soon as the transmission began, Yi Chen shouted to stop.

The speed was too slow.

Although Mares’ Perception Ability was impressive, transmitting the power of the laws of time to others was not an easy task.

According to Yi Chen’s estimation, it would take at least a month or two to complete the transmission.

Fortunately, he had a powerful treasure.

Yi Chen immediately activated the treasure, increasing Mares’ time flow by ten times.

He then took a pill that rapidly restored his immortal power, spending a few minutes replenishing most of his consumed power before telling Mares to continue.

Mares resumed transmitting his insights about the laws of time to Yi Chen.

The speed increased tenfold.

Yi Chen himself was also in a state where the time flow was increased tenfold. Together with his relatively low realm yet incredibly powerful divine consciousness, he found it effortless to receive the information.

As he quickly received the insights, he was even able to understand and digest them simultaneously.

It turned out that while Mares had a broader understanding of the laws of time, he was not as deep as Yi Chen.

If Yi Chen was like a first-year student in the study of the laws of time, then Mares could be barely considered a third-year student.

Furthermore, Yi Chen was a top student mastering every subject, whereas Mares struggled to pass.

The insights Mares transmitted about the laws of time were clearly simpler and rougher compared to Yi Chen’s understanding.

However, Yi Chen did not instruct Mares to stop the transmission.

Because among Mares’ insights, there existed many aspects of the laws of time that Yi Chen could not sense on his own due to his realm and divine consciousness.

These insights were tremendously enlightening to him.

One day, two days, three days…

Every day, Yi Chen, besides using the powerful treasure to grant Mares and the Shadow King a tenfold boost in time flow, focused on receiving and understanding the insights Mares transmitted about the laws of time.

Days passed, five or six days in total.

Finally, Mares completely transmitted all his insights about the laws of time to Yi Chen without leaving anything out.

“Thank you for your hard work. You can go back to what you were doing!” Yi Chen said kindly.

“Um…”

Mares hesitated, wanting to say something.

“Is there something else?”

Yi Chen was a bit surprised, noticing that Mares seemed to have more to say.

“I want to sign a new contract with a longer duration.”

Mares bit his lip and finally spoke the truth.

He was afraid of missing this opportunity; he didn’t know when he would see Yi Chen again.

Beside him, Boses and Titan Bo’s eyes lit up.

Fellow seekers!

And for them to propose it first was simply the best stepping stone.

They all turned their gazes toward Yi Chen.
