"Hasi, hasi!"

Ultimate Invincible let out a happy smile and disappeared with a squeak. It flew back with a lot of treasures after a while and placed them in front of Su Bai, indicating that these were all for them and that they could take whatever they wanted.

​​

He looked at these gifts and saw that they were all good things. The various crystal nuclei, mineral veins, spiritual fruit, and spiritual flowers were all emperor grade and above; some were at the sovereign grade, too.

In addition to these on the ground, it held two pendants which exuded a breath of time.

It floated to his side and gave him a big smile. Ultimate Invincible placed a diamond pendant on his belt and said telepathically, I'll protect you.

"Haha! Thank you; you can call me Ah Bai. How about I call you 'Time Ghost'?"

He caressed its head and smiled happily. Although this guy might have existed for tens of thousands of years, its mind was still as simple as the elf.

"Hasi!"

Hearing that Su Bai had given it a name, its eyes lit up with a happy smile. It lifted its claws and used spiritual power to condense the word 'Time Ghost' in the air, indicating that it could write and that it liked the name very much.

"Haha! You're so smart."

Su Bai caressed its head and allowed its big tongue to lick his hand. It was a creature of energy, and its tongue was also formed by that. Its touch was cold but did not leave any traces behind.

After being affectionate with him for a while, it ran to the elf again and put another crescent-shaped pendant around the other's neck.

It could be seen that these were all things polished by itself, which were full of strong time power. Through the pet interface, Su Bai learned that this thing was called the Origin Time Crystal. Wearing the pendant not only prevented the elf from being affected by ordinary time attacks and interferences, it could also record and mark the time its wearer experienced.

This mark could make what the elf experienced different in the long river of time and could conveniently change time through the crystal stone by either saving or helping the elf jump out of the long river of time.

It was an incomparably precious treasure, usually only produced when a world of origin was born.

"Howl~" I prepared a gift for you, too. This is the latest tablet; there are many games you've never played before on this!

Purple Jade took out a brand-new tablet from its storage pendant.

"Hasi hasi!" Thank you!

Seeing this exquisite tablet, Time Ghost was unbelievably elated. It first stuck its face to the tablet and then to Purple Jade.

After inspecting the tablet for a bit, Ultimate Invincible could not help but start two games right away. Its originally dilapidated phone lagged too much.

However, under the elf's dissuasion, it decided to play later, instead. The priority was meeting the other comrades, such as the dino and the fox.

"Roar!" The ores you provided are really delicious! Little Tyrant roared happily.

"Hasi!" Upon hearing this, Time Ghost immediately took out another pile and gave everything to the dino. It soon established a deep friendship with the latter.

Mewling Fox, Pipi Kraken, Planet Eye, and Blood Dragon also greeted it.

After getting to know all of them, Time Ghost was deeply impressed with its new master's team. None of them was ordinary. It originally reckoned that it was already very strong, but now it was a little worried.

"Time Ghost, can you take me to the Origin Vestige in the center of the city now? I want to find out its data. Your physical problem hasn't been completely resolved; you must go to the Origin Vestige to eliminate it completely," said Su Bai as he caressed his new pet's head.

"Hasi!"

Time Ghost nodded, indicating that it could take him over because it knew a shortcut.

Through its thoughts, he had already understood what was going on with the origin time vestige.

After the origin world was broken, a fragment of its law of time wrapped around a sleeping time-attribute pet egg.

It was the egg of a Time Dragon, a pure time pet. However, that egg broke and was demonized for some reason, hence emitting a strange and unknown aura.

Ultimate Invincible had seen it once and had noticed that the egg was covered with transparent hair, exuding weirdness and lack of detail.

This Origin Vestige had come to Time Ghost's world about ten thousand years ago and loaded Blue Planet with its world more than a hundred years ago. It swallowed the Vatican, gaining massive power of faith.

Unexpectedly, it woke up again two months ago and started swallowing the power of time, nearly causing Ultimate Invincible's death.

A fragment of its soul entered the Origin Vestige, of which the time flow was very turbulent. The flow velocity in the centermost area was one hundred times faster than that of the outside world.

A lot of time treasures and monsters were inside it, too. Time did not age insects that were invisible to the naked eye and could not be touched. If one was parasitized, they would die as the insect would eat away all of their time and their vitality.

The strand of Time Ghost's soul, which had been pulled away at that time, was sealed in the altar where the Time Dragon egg was located. It was the guardian of the Origin Vestige, after all.

As long as the origin imprint on its soul recovered, Time Ghost could recover by itself.

In fact, Ultimate Invincible was originally about to reach the immortal grade, but because its strand of origin soul had been forcibly taken and its origin had been continuously sucked away, its realm had steadily dropped.

It was currently a sovereign entity entirely because of Su Bai's time fruit.

"Come on. Let's go!" He caressed his newly acquired pet's head.

At this moment, a low rumbling sound came from the earth.

"What happened?"

Su Bai quickly looked at the ground. He saw numerous large cracks appearing on it and spreading toward the whole world with Rome as the center.

Some cracks even appeared in the sky.

"Roar!" This world has just died, for its origin has been extracted, the dino roared in shock.

"Hasi!"

Time Ghost also showed a trace of horror.

"Oh, no! We'll have to go faster. Time Ghost said that the law of time is being extracted now. When it's completely extracted, this world will be without time.

"This is a sign of self-protection from the Time Dragon, and it's making up for its body at the same time."

After understanding Time Ghost's meaning, Su Bai's expression changed. Once this world became without time, he would be trapped here with his current strength.

He, hence, must hurry up.

"Time, lead the way. Let's hurry into the Origin Vestige." Su Bai smiled.

He felt that some big shots had entered the Origin Vestige at this time, such that even the Time Dragon felt intense danger and wanted to transform this world into one without time just so it could protect itself.

This type of time extraction was way more powerful than the Vine of All Things Absorbed's absorption rate.

As Time Ghost pointed the way, he made Planet Eye hide its spiritual breath once more. Then he asked Starry Omnivore Kraken to use its Dark Diving to increase their concealment.

They quickly left the north of the city and arrived at the center of Rome. Here, the original buildings were no longer visible and only a large entrance could be seen standing.

"Hasi!"

Ultimate Invincible pointed the way, saying that there was a shortcut to the deeper part of the Origin Vestige.

Su Bai found a small space crack and entered it. After a long period of darkness, a gray and broken world appeared in front of his eyes.

This world was very strange, as there was no real sky. The ground was the earth, mountains, and rivers, while the sky was the earth, mountains, and rivers hanging upside down.

And sometimes the earth and the high mountains in the sky were even connected. The plants on the earth and the plants hanging down from the sky covered his field of vision, making it impossible to see far.

From time to time in the gray sky, he could see some transparent insects with flat mouths and sharp teeth that showed their body shapes. These were the so-called Timeless Insects, which looked very disgusting and terrifying.

In particular, there were even more of such insects in the air.

"Hasi!"

Time Ghost pointed to the ground, indicating that it was better to go deeper and not to fly because the air was much more dangerous than the ground.

"Planet Eye, let's fly down."

Su Bai landed on the ground and had Planet Eye fly close to it.

After flying for a short distance, his pets felt violent spiritual fluctuations on the mountain col not too far in front. They sensed that the battle scene was very big.

"Roar!" Let's go check the fighting out. Maybe we can even find that Dick guy. Let's teach him a lesson if we do! the dino tugged on his sleeves and roared.

"Hasi!"

Time Ghost shook its head and said that he could not detour to other roads as this was the nearest and safest route to their destination.

It knew that there was a time fruit in that mountain col, and they were probably trying to get that.

"Then let's continue," Su Bai said in response.

Planet Eye continued moving forward, and they soon came to the mountain col. As expected, two groups were fighting for the time spirit fruit.

"Roar!" How coincidental! We've actually ended up bumping into Dick!

Little Tyrant showed an expression of excitement.

Two groups of people, four on either side, were fighting in full swing in this location. It could be seen that these guys had contracted time pets. Although there was no way to take out the pets here, if they did not form contracts with time pets, it would be really hard to move an inch.

"Ah Bai, are we going to make a move?" the elf turned and asked.

"Forget it. We'll leave with the spirit fruit. The people fighting for the treasures are all smalltime mercenaries; the real powerhouses should have almost reached the central area, so there's no point in exposing ourselves to the ones present here."

Taking a look at the people below, Su Bai shook his head. Although it would only take a moment to kill them, it was unnecessary.

He would rather not expose himself if it could be helped, so he decided to proceed and get the business done, instead.

As for Dick, he would leave a mark and then come back for him.

Planet Eye flew past the low-level emperor time fruit, while Time Ghost went ahead and picked it up quickly.

"Who stole the spirit fruit? Show yourself!!"

As soon as the spirit fruit disappeared, the two sides who were fighting stopped and immediately blocked the surrounding area, activating various detection skills to check the surroundings.

However, Planet Eye had already flown out of the area.

Su Bai turned his head and changed his voice to reply: Dick, see you in the same place. Thank you for telling me about this.

Upon hearing that, these people, including those on the man's side, immediately turned their eyes on Dick.

"No, no! It's got nothing to do with me! That person is slandering me; this is blatant slander! Everyone, listen to me: I don't even know who that person is…"

Dick backed away again and again, unable to explain himself. He could not understand why that person would frame him, and most importantly, how they knew his name.

"You don't know him? Why would he know your name if you're not acquainted?"

The person on his side also felt his trust crumbling instantly, thinking that he had been tricked by Dick. His eyes grew more and more unfriendly…

"No, you guys are being unreasonable…"

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, Dick turned around and ran away with his pets. There was no way to explain this clearly, so his only choice was to flee.

…

On the other side, right after Su Bai took the spirit fruit with time acceleration, he arrived at the center of the Origin Vestige under Time Ghost's guidance.

The function of this time attribute spirit fruit was to speed up the flow of time by a thousand times after consumption, lasting for three days and effective to any existence.

"Hing~" Ah Bai, that Dick is dead. My spiritual imprint on him has disappeared! mewled Mewling Fox suddenly.

"Roar!" This is an effortless victory. Ah Bai, you're amazing! The dino curried favor with him.

"Alright." Su Bai nodded nonchalantly.

He turned to look at Time Ghost, hoping that they could find a shortcut.

This place not only had layers of time barriers but also many powerful time monsters. If he wanted to reach the center, he would have to move forward layer by layer.

"Hasi, hasi!"

Ultimate Invincible was quite embarrassed and used its tiny paw to point at the barrier, indicating that it could pass through this time barrier by itself but could not lead others inside.

Furthermore, it could not pass through the deepest barrier alone.

"Can you bring this phone in?"

Su Bai asked. The phone was a non-living thing, so it might be able to pass through.

"Hasi!"

Time Ghost nodded, indicating that the phone could get through. It easily walked through the barrier with the phone.

The next moment, Planet Eye released a golden light and soon appeared within the barrier.

"It worked." He grinned and nodded.

Time Ghost widened its eyes in surprise.

"Haha! Go on. You go ahead," he touched its head and said.

Nodding, Time Ghost held the phone and continued moving forward!

In just a few minutes, Su Bai passed through the barrier that dozens of individuals had spent their lives trying to pass through.

"Ah Bai, look over there!"

As they came to the center, they could see some other people.

Su Bai turned his head to look, a little surprised. "Young Master Wang Yize is here with Xiao Yulong and Zhou Ling'an. Even Wei Qingqing is here… Judging from this lineup, it seems that they're conspiring something big."

He did not expect that these people would appear here.

He understood why Wang Yize and the others were together, but he felt quite strange to see Wei Qingqing with them.

The relationship between the top ten peak gymnasiums and the imperial families was not so good.

"That Wang Yize is terrifying. Look at his few tricks, this time barrier is unable to bear it."

Little Tyrant pointed to the guy, who was continuously attacking the barrier.

His moves were not fancy, and he attacked with thunder and lightning. With every punch, the barrier broke a little.

It seemed that because their gazes were too focused on the man, the other sensed it and looked in their direction as he revealed a hint of suspicion.

"What a keen insight!" Su Bai retracted his gaze, a little surprised. He was very curious about what Wang Yize's divine skill was.

He only knew that the man's divine skill allowed him to use monster skills with a human body, but he did not understand the specifics.

This divine skill made the guy very eye-catching as he could use pet skills. In some respects, it was similar to Chen Ruoxue's card skill but was also completely different.

"Let's not care about them anymore and just keep going."

He went to a place where there was no one and then used the same method again.

Wang Yize once more looked in the direction where Su Bai had left, always feeling that something or someone had been watching him earlier.

"What's the matter?" From nearby, Wei Qingqing of the Giant Kraken Gymnasium asked this aloud.

"It's nothing. I just felt someone looking at me." Wang Yize shook his head.
