C2391 Time Betting
Within the palace, everything was quiet.
The time here was in a completely still state.
This power of time was as mysterious as space. If not for the presence of the True Meaning of the Great Tao s, they would have been trapped here forever, unable to move even a single inch. Even their souls and thoughts would have been stuck there.
Meng Fan stepped on the dark gray floor tiles of the palace, the first thing he saw was a God King.
The Divine King's body continued to move forward while waves of elemental energy rippled behind him. He wore an indifferent expression, like a statue, as he entered the palace about a hundred feet away.
Meng Fan gradually walked inside. The further he went, the more he could feel the strength of the Meaning of Time and his movements uncontrollably slowed down. He had to continuously activate the Boundless Universe within his body and use the power of the five stages of True Meaning of the Great Tao's creation to resist in order to remove this kind of restriction.
Every so often, he would be able to see a few Godkings who were locked in time.
The deeper they went, the fewer Celestial Kings they encountered, and the more powerful they became.
From front to back, there were more than thirty Divine Kings trapped here!
After the last God King passed, Meng Fan could clearly see that the God King's eyes were rolling. Although the speed was very slow and it seemed like it couldn't move from left to right for a year, it was indeed moving.
The Godking had a sliver of divine will in his hands!
From the footprints on the ground, it could be seen that the Celestial King had been trapped for several hundred years. Every few years, he would slowly take a step forward.
Meng Fan estimated that out of the 30 God Kings, the oldest one had been trapped here for at least 50,000 years.
However, to the Godking who was trapped, it was just a split-second, because time had completely frozen.
As he walked past the last Divine King, Meng Fan raised his head and saw the dark gray palace. There was a row of jade seats and a total of eighteen Divine Kings were sitting on them.
These Divine Kings weren't affected by the Meaning of Time in the slightest, they were just normally meditating and musing, because there was a trace of Meaning of Time flowing through their bodies.
Under the effect of the Meaning of Time, their Longevity and life practically never faded.
The existence of Celestial King Level seemed to be forever immortal, which was actually not the case. From the perspective of the era, the Divine King's Longevity was limited, and would always pass away.
And indeed, the eighteen Godkings didn't move at all.
When Meng Fan easily reached the deepest part, the eighteen Divine Kings opened their eyes. They were all dressed in dark blue wide robes, and because of the interference from the Meaning of Time, Meng Fan was unable to tell their age, but he could vaguely guess that they were at least Old Celestial King who lived for a few hundred thousand years.
"Please take out the bet."
One of the eighteen Godkings said slowly.
Meng Fan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked out. Behind the eighteen Divine Kings, there was a huge golden gate. On both sides of the eighteen Divine Kings, there were two rows of dark gray pillars.
When he turned around and saw the God King behind him, trapped by time, Meng Fan suddenly understood.
It turned out that this was a gamble.
The Divine Kings who stepped into this palace were clearly making some sort of bet, and the deeper one went, the more one would be able to obtain.
No one knew what sort of bet was being carried out using this as a bargaining chip, but this two thousand foot long passageway was actually able to trap over thirty Divine Kings?
Anything was possible, and the most likely thing was of course a sliver of Meaning of Time.
True immortality, eternal immortality.
"I don't know what to use as the bet, please state it clearly." Meng Fan said.
The Godking said, "Eight hundred souls."
Meng Fan squinted his eyes.
He actually made a wager with his soul!
The living beings of the world were respectively Longevity and life. Longevity was the length of the soul and life was the length of life.
All the memories of the living were branded into his soul, along with all kinds of knowledge, especially the martial dao essence.
If it was just losing a few thoughts, then it was nothing.
But eight hundred soul thoughts?
This was tantamount to losing one's soul. It was a true loss of lifespan, and all the knowledge and memories within one's soul consciousness would have to be taken away by someone. After making all sorts of deductions, one would be able to get a thorough understanding of the person whose soul had been snatched away.
When Meng Fan left the Common People World, he told Qin Taichuan that he wanted to merge all thirty-six realms together to form a furnace to refine all living beings and use it to extend his life force and Longevity. Meng Fan said that maybe, maybe not, maybe not, maybe the life force of the Common People World would become Qin Taichuan's Pills, maybe even die in the era of tribulation, and the reason was to absorb the life force of all living beings, and that it would not be difficult to refine the souls of all living beings to use it to prolong his life force and Longevity.
How many memories did all beings have? How many thoughts? How much emotion? Even if he continued to refine, it would be impossible to be completely pure without leaving any impurities behind. Even Meng Fan did not dare to say that he was able to devour the minds of all living beings in the great Common People World.
No matter how many powerful existences were there, they had never heard of anyone having any ideas about the God Soul. Those that they had a bet with Meng Fan before all wanted the blood of their God King, and an existence like Chaos Emperor was only capable of creating a tides of Alien Ghost, a body that could devour anything.
Yet, there were people who had used their souls to gamble.
Wu Tie said in a clear voice, "With 800 thoughts as a bet, I will walk up to that door and see for myself who Evolved Primordial Spirit is." As he finished speaking, drops of divine soul thoughts flew out from between his brows. They were sparkling and translucent, more than ten times brighter than the world's brightest crystals. They lightly jumped into the hands of the eighteen Divine Kings.
And then, he began to walk forward.
The eighteen Divine Kings all raised their hands. Within their palms, the Meaning of Time immediately erupted. Meng Fan instantly felt a powerful sealing power descend onto his body!
All of its power was sealed. In Meng Fan's eyes, the eighteen Divine Kings' flying hands were suddenly moving so fast that he could not see it clearly. This was not because of the speed of the eighteen Divine Weapons, it was because Meng Fan had started to slow down.
Everything existed in the river of time, so they had to endure the erosion or imprisonment of time.
It was just like how when everything was in the void, one would inevitably be pressured and restricted by space.
Meng Fan continuously circulated the power of creation in his body, eliminating the impact of the Meaning of Time and stepped forward step by step.
Ten steps.
Fifty steps.
Even though every step was difficult, Meng Fan didn't stop walking.
Suddenly, one of the eighteen Divine Kings left his seat. A giant spear made of Essence came down from the sky and pointed at Meng Fan's forehead.
Crack!
A layer of dragon scales appeared on his forehead, and the large scale of his Essence shattered.
At the same time, the skin and flesh of Meng Fan's entire body began to change. Inch by inch, they became dragon scales.
Another God King stepped forward and launched an attack at Meng Fan. His foot landed squarely on Meng Fan's chest, but the impact forced him back and he fell heavily onto the ground.
The eighteen divine kings immediately had a serious expression on their faces. They took turns to unleash their attacks as their Essence exploded. The raging thunderbolts landed on Meng Fan's body without end.
However, he failed to leave a scar on Meng Fan.
His entire body was covered in dark golden dragon scales. He turned a blind eye to the eighteen Divine Kings, getting closer and closer to the door.
The 18 Divine Kings looked at each other, simultaneously stopping their ability to summon the will of space and time. They combined their efforts and released an overwhelming iron curtain of origin energy!2
"Evolved Primordial Spirit, since you gave me a reply, you still want to test me? There's no point." Meng Fan coldly stated. With a shake of his shoulders, the iron screen of primordial energy exploded, and the eighteen Divine Kings retreated several steps. After which, he punched out, directly shattering the door!
