What Liu Sheng Juan just said had struck Duan Li deep into his core.
"The Sun Dragon descended from the sky because I broke the World's law?"
Thinking into the matter deeply, Duan Li took into consideration of the retaliation from 'Time' in his perspective if he was the cause of it all.
If that was indeed the case, before he were to bypass the rule, the Heaven's Will committee should at least made their appearance back then to remind him that it was forbidden, just like when he was about to store the Spiritual Qi into his spatial ring.
But they never did!
Thus, he shook his head.
"That shouldn't be possible, the magnitude of the retaliation from 'Time' was too big for it to involve the whole world with it like that just because of me. The Sun Dragon descension must've been due to a more severe case.." Duan Li said.
"Pardon me if it seems like I am doubting you, but what is the basis for this reasoning of yours?" Liu Sheng Juan inquired as he frowned.
"The reason being is that, the Heaven's Will committee hadn't even given me any sorts of warning at all when I tried to enter the Immortal ascension realm in that timeline!" Duan Li answered.
For trying to break the rule of the world, they should at least came knocking down at him to give him a stern warning, but there was none at all!
At this new term they were hearing, the Emperor couldn't help but to ask out.
"The Heaven's Will committee? What is that?"
The Principal stepped forward, "Let me explain this in detail.."
With a flip of his palm, another red jade slip appeared on his hand.
"This here is another image recording from a few days ago.."
Slotting it into the projector, a series of images began to play out.
...
Watching the image recording while listening to the Principal's top-notch story-telling talent, the Emperor had to press onto his temple to lessen his headache.
From that image recording, he managed to summarize three important points.
First! He managed to attract the Lightning Tribulation that was only supposed to be for those who tried to breakthrough to the next realm during his first entry into the Qi condensation realm.
Second! In a recent occasion, during cultivating, he decided to store some condensed Spiritual Qi inside his spatial ring for future usage, which by the way, is considered as illegal conduct that had attracted those Heaven's Will committee's attention.
After which, third, he managed to struck a deal with them, by undergoing an advance Lightning Tribulation that was only supposed to be meant when he entered the Core formation realm next time.
Damn it! God damn it!
This fella is nothing but trouble!
At this sudden realization, the Emperor's vision darkened as he worried about the future.
Will the Empire be alright with him around?
A tinge of regret crept up inside him electing Duan Li as the Imperial Overseer.
He even ignored his previous shock after knowing the existence of the Heaven's Will committee.
To him, Duan Li was a more exotic existence than those terrifying beings up there!
After all, even during an extreme thunderstorm situation, you would still be safe for most of the time.
But Duan Li was like that metal rod that attracted the lightning from above, bringing danger to those around it!
Hais!
Nevermind, I can't cry over a spilled milk!
Looking over at the crowd, the Emperor shook his head and sighed.
This was because their expression were blank as if in a daze. They felt extremely light-headed to witness yet another scene which they could described it as 'tyrannical' due to the sheer incredulousness of it that their minds couldn't process it outright!
Are all these actually a prank?
What Heaven's Will committee?
Why does this sounds like a fantasy instead?
"If all these is true.. then, there has to be another major reason for the Sun Dragon's descension to the point that it had to erase the whole world.." Liu Sheng Juan said as he contemplated further.
He seemed to be immune to being shocked silly, and this had Duan Li nodding in approval.
Someone finally reacted normally!
All these people around him are just over-exagerating stuff by getting shocked here and there!
They should at least properly train their mental resilience more..
Hmm?
Erase?
Hang on a second..!
At this moment, Duan Li recalled his recent conversation with Ancestor Zong.
Specifically, regarding the 'Ring of Eternal Time'!
"Pardon me for asking this, but what is your understanding regarding 'Time'?" Duan Li asked Liu Sheng Juan.
"Oh? This is an interesting question." Liu Sheng Juan replied as one of his brows shot up.
He cupped his chin for a while before answering.
"Time is something that has no beginning nor an end. My reasoning for this is that Time had already existed before I was born into this world, and will continue to exist as so even after I die. Time is a conception that existed out of necessity."
"In this sense, time would continue to exist as long as there is something for it to exists for. After all, the conception of time would disappear once nothing exist to acknowledge it.. huh?"
Liu Sheng Juan suddenly stopped talking as a hint of realization struck him at that moment.
"It can't be.." he said as his voice quivered a little.
Looking at the latter's complexion, the Emperor asked out.
"What's wrong?" he said as he frowned. This was the first time he ever saw the other party to show such an expression.
"This is only a theory, but the Sun Dragon erased everything to make way for a 'New' Time!" Liu Sheng Juan said.
As everyone heard this, only a few could comprehend it at this state.
"Let me explain." knowing that most of the others did not get what he was saying, he decided to elaborate it further.
Pointing his index finger onto the air, he began to draw in midair using his spiritual Qi.
Zinggg!
He started by drawing a single line.
"This single line here is the current timeline where we are now."
Zinggg!
Next, he drew another line above the previous one, but shifted a little bit to the right, with a slash at the end of it.
"This here is the timeline 8 years in the future, the slash there marks the end of when the Sun Dragon destroyed everything."
"As you guys saw here, these two timelines existed separately, but it contains the same thing. Just that, the first line is the present, the second line is the future."
Zinggg!
He then drew a third line below the first line, shifting it a little bit to the left.
"This here is the timeline of the past of where we watched the image recording just now."
Zinggg!
Then, extending all three lines together to form three rings of circle, Liu Sheng Juan finally said;
"My conclusion here is that the past, present and future all existed at the same time!"
The crowds reaction were stale as they showed an unconvinced expression.
"Before, I couldn't prove this theory at all because there was no precedence to take the reference for. After all, the past can't know of the present, and the present can't know of the future. But the present knows of the past, and the future knows of both the present and past."
"Thus, since we does not know of the future, how can we then prove my theory that the past, present and future existed at the same time right?"
As he said this piece, some of them began to comprehend what he was saying, and Liu Sheng Juan chuckled at this sight.
"Indeed! If you guys realized, we had just sneek a peek at the future from the image recording and we now know that the future had already happened!"
"Therefore, at this point, as I was saying, it could be said that the past, present and future had all existed at the same time!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, they at least understood this much from that explanation.
After all, they could be considered as genius cultivators and their problem solving capacity were high enough to understand complicated Skill art manuals that were sometimes even more vague than this.
"But what has this got to do with the Sun Dragon destroying everything then?" Shen Murong chimed in.
He wasn't the type of person to have a long span of attention, so he was eager to know the ending more than the process.
"Perhaps its because 'Time' no longer find it relevant for that timeline to exist." Liu Sheng Juan answered.
Huh?
This answer has Shen Murong's expression blank.
"Although I do not know why 'Time' chose to erase that Timeline, but I do have a possible theory, and that is because 'Time' wanted things to change, but at the same time, introducing retaliation in the form of these 'Time Artifacts' appeared to be counter-productive in my opinion."
Most of the people nodded at this point except Shen Murong, Xiahou Yu, Xu Rong, Wei Shang and Guo He.
It appears that their comprehension of Time was still a little bit lacking.
"The rest of the reasons why, would require more technicalities, and I believe non would be able to understand it even if I were to take one whole day to explain it."
Liu Sheng Juan shook his head, "Thus, my explanation ends here."
For the Principal, Vice-Principal, Fei Jin Fang and the Emperor, as someone whom practiced the way of Spatial arts and magic, they naturally have sufficient understanding in the subject.
"I see, since the future has got nothing to do with Duan Li bypassing the World's rule, this meant that the reason were far more astronomical in scale than we could imagine." the Emperor said.
Indeed, it would be too far-fetched to claim that the action of a single individual was the cause of a total annihilation of a timeline and everything.
After all, no matter how strong humans could get, how could they even pose a threat in the grand scheme of things from the true immortals up in the heavens?
"But I am quite interested in your claim to be able to reach the Immortal ascension realm in but a few months.. did you perhaps, cultivated an advance cultivation method from the future?" the Emperor asked curiously.
If such a thing existed, then perhaps he could ask the other party to lend him the manuals if it was possible.
"Oh! That is easy stuff! I could personally teach everyone here the cultivation method that I used!" Duan Li answered casually.
Hearing this everyone's eyes gleamed with anticipation and their hearts rumbled furiously in excitement!
They had already known at this stage on how fast Duan Li cultivated. In fact the word 'fast' was quite an extreme understatement.
Which cultivator in the world does not want to become stronger faster?
Thus, they pricked open their ears widely, afraid to lose even a single word that the other party will tell them.
"First, you got to open your second and third dantian!" Duan Li said proudly as both his hands on his waist.
"..." everyone.
"Go kill yourself!" the Emperor scolded in his mind.
