The most precious treasure the Grain Goddess left to mankind was the Time Sanctum.

But so many years have passed.

No one knows where the Time Sanctum is...

As time weathered away, even the people who knew of the "Time Sanctum's" existence became fewer and fewer.

"Yes, the place you are in now is the 'Time Sanctum'."

Turing gave Gu Shen an affirmative answer.

He added, "To be precise, it is a part of the 'Time Sanctum'."

"A part?"

The world Gu Shen was in began to burn. The Rebirth Dream completely collapsed after he devoured the "Source Will," and after black and white intertwined, the true face of the void gradually emerged... Gu Shen's consciousness returned to the airship. He had been moved to the co-pilot's seat, and a faint humanoid glow sat in the pilot's seat. That was the image of Mr. Turing's last conversation with him.

Blazing fire enveloped the airship.

Gu Shen realized that he had returned to reality. The first thing he did was look back—

The statue of the Lord of Love was enveloped in golden light.

Chu Ling was still there.

"Hoo."

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the front of the airship. Before the huge cyan-silver glass, brilliant flames were burning. Because he had sent Blazing Fire to tear apart the Rebirth Dream, the entire airship was enveloped in a sea of ​​blazing flames. A vivid and huge "humanoid figure" was being scorched within the raging flames.

This was the "Source Will" devoured by Blazing Fire!

A fully formed giant humanoid black hole!

This black hole was nearly a hundred meters in size. It could be compared to the giants of the Traveler race. Compared to the prototype black spot that Gu Shen discovered in the Redwood District, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon. They were not on the same scale at all.

"The 'end point' linked by the Banishment Array is the embrace of this humanoid black hole."

Turing said lightly, "【Deep Sea】has evolved eleven times, and it has indeed exceeded my control... But in the final analysis, it was created by me. I have the ability to let it see the light of this world, and I have the ability to send it into the eternal darkness of destruction. Even if it has its own 'independent personality,' its mastery of ancient texts is far from comparable to mine."

So... the pit buried in the Banishment Array.

【Deep Sea】simply could not detect it.

"How long has this humanoid black hole existed?"

"A long, long time, close to ten thousand years."

Turing smiled and said, "Because its core resides within the 'Time Sanctum'. Why don't you leave the airship and come with me to take a good look at the deepest part of this 【Old World】."

Gu Shen held his breath, and glanced at his hands.

They were no longer so childish.

He had grown up a bit... Although Blazing Fire had released most of its power, he was still considered a child.

"Chi!"

Gu Shen left the airship, waved his hand, and the sea of ​​fire rolled away!

The void in front of him was cleared away, and Gu Shen saw the figures wrapped in the humanoid black hole. General Rustbone, Teacher, Senior Sister, Senior Brother... They were currently in a "sleeping" state. They were bound by the Rebirth rules of the humanoid black hole, but there was no danger at the moment.

As the refiner of this black hole, Gu Shen could wake them up with a single thought.

But Gu Shen was not in a hurry to wake them up.

He passed through the sea of ​​fire and walked forward under Turing's guidance, and then saw... the so-called "Time Sanctum."

In this vast void, countless mirrors were folded. At this moment, Gu Shen saw countless versions of himself, each of which seemed "real."

"The Time Sanctum is a 'super artifact' created by the starship civilization with the combined efforts of all its leaders."

Turing said softly, "This kind of thing, like the 'Flame Extinguishing Sword,' is a 'conceptual creation' that should not exist in the world. To create it, you not only need the great forging craftsmanship of the Lord of Melting Iron as a foundation, but also many other conditions: a sufficient amount of 'Mind Stream Power,' a complete chain of 'Space Source,' 'Time Source,' and so on... These conditions are more stringent than the other, and they must all be met, none can be missing."

Gu Shen looked at the vast void and darkness before him, and fell into silence.

"In the end, the Time Sanctum was successfully completed, but it is not considered a perfect creation. It still has flaws."

Turing stretched out his hand and pointed to the endless starry sky in front of him.

"Look, what you see... is the Time Sanctum."

Gu Shen looked at this extremely desolate world, and he indeed felt a desolate and distant aura.

He reached out and touched the mirror containing the power of Space Source, and asked with a complex expression, "So, the Time Sanctum is the end of the 【Old World】?"

"The starship carrying the Sanctum fell here."

Turing murmured, "Perhaps because the powerful Source Power of the Time Sanctum caused it to rupture, there are often strange phenomena in this area, such as 'polar day,' and 'polar night.' Throughout the generations, the farthest distance that the Five Continents God Seats have traveled with their physical bodies is here... So it seems appropriate for you to call it the end of the world."

Once a transcendent at the God Seat level arrives in this area, they will feel an irresistible danger.

For the transcendents of the Starship Civilization, cultivating in the "Time Sanctum" is a good thing.

But for the God Seats of the Five Continents.

Staying here is only dangerous!

"Remember what I said... the Time Sanctum has flaws? The flow of time in this space is inconsistent. Some places are faster, and some places are slower." Turing turned his head to look at the humanoid black hole, and said softly, "In order to protect Zhou Jiren, I placed the 'end point' of the Banishment Array in the area of ​​the Time Sanctum where the 'flow rate is closest to normal'."

Gu Shen's expression became solemn.

"So... when I was teleported here, the 'acceleration' of the outside world had already begun?"

"Yes."

Turing said calmly, "A long time has passed outside. In order to use the 'Banishment Array' to deceive 【Deep Sea】, letting it sense the abnormality of the time flow rate, is also an important part."

【Deep Sea】has an independent evaluation system.

As the creator, Turing knew how to deceive 【Deep Sea】...

But even the most seamless plan requires bearing a certain price, and the price of this deception is that although Gu Shen only used three rebirths to see through the dream, it still took a lot of time.

Gu Shen was silent for a moment, and accepted this reality.

The time for "Blazing Fire" to grow cannot be shortened!

He wanted to restore his combat power...

He had to spend a certain amount of "time"!

Gu Shen looked at Mr. Turing, and asked solemnly, "So all these years, you... have been in this Sanctum?"

He already knew that in Mr. Turing's complete ancient text reserves, there was an unbelievable technique called "Clone Technique."

The Tundra Tomb Keeper, the Dolu River Traveler, Tianshui, were all one of Turing's many identities.

And the one waiting for him in the Time Sanctum at this moment was just one of Turing's clones!

"Of course."

"Disassembling souls and learning knowledge takes a long time."

Turing stretched out two fingers and gently tapped his head, and smiled, "How could the Five Continents civilization develop something like 【Deep Sea】in just six hundred years?"

The reason why the Five Continents civilization, after surviving the catastrophe, possessed the era-defining 【Deep Sea】in a short six hundred years of development.

Of course it was not because of luck.

It was only because Turing was constantly disassembling the wisdom left by the Starship Civilization in the Time Sanctum, so that the Five Continents civilization ushered in a rare transformation of hope.

"After a long journey, I realized that the only way to save mankind is to stand higher than the Starship Civilization."

Turing lowered his eyes and smiled, and said, "But the Five Continents have too little time. I have nothing to choose, I can only choose to gamble."

He succeeded.

【Deep Sea】is an evolutionary, unlimited Ai that even the Starship Civilization never had.

But it also failed.

Because even he, the creator, was driven out of the territory by 【Deep Sea】!

But this so-called "failure"... seemed to further confirm the success of 【Deep Sea】. This Ai model, which absorbs the computing power of transcendent life to constantly evolve, is an unprecedented existence!

"From today onwards, this Sanctum will be handed over to you."

Turing looked at Gu Shen meaningfully, and placed his hands on his shoulders, "I will give you an array to leave the Time Sanctum. At the end of the 【Old World】there is a nearly complete starship parked. This is the starship of the Lord of Melting Iron who fell that year. I spent hundreds of years repairing it. This starship can carry you back to the Five Continents. This time you can truly welcome 'homecoming'. The shackles of the Divine Infant can be 'offset' through cultivation in the Time Sanctum."

This game, is interlocked.

Gu Shen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but stopped in the end.

"I have indeed done a lot..."

Turing guessed what Gu Shen was thinking.

His eyes were full of relief, and he patted the young man on the shoulder, and said, "But the most important thing is that you are self-improving. If you didn't grow up, my plan would not be like this."

"What was your plan... originally like?"

Gu Shen asked curiously.

"If the Divine Infant's growth rate is not fast enough, then I will find a way to arrange for another person to enter the Time Sanctum..."

Turing said softly, "And now it seems that the most suitable candidate in the Five Continents is Bai Xiu."

Little Xiu!

Gu Shen's eyes lit up, indeed... Bai Xiu is the most talented transcendent of this generation in the Five Continents! His 【Thunder World Walker】is a top-level ability that can compete with 【Blazing Fire】. In addition, his various performances can be called one step ahead, but unfortunately he met Gu Shen, and what Gu Shen had more than Bai Xiu was actually just the luck of being chosen.

"【Thunder World Walker】is naturally matched with the Flame Extinguishing Candle."

Turing said slowly, "If Bai Xiu can find the 'Flame Extinguishing Candle', then he will have the qualifications to enter the Time Sanctum... Whether it is him or you, it is actually the same. No matter how talented you are, you need to complete certain prerequisites to trigger this final 'gamble'. Congratulations, Gu Shen, your speed is faster than his."

"I... refined the Underworld Fire?"

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly, "This should be considered my good luck, right?"

This Underworld Fire, was designated by the former Underworld King to be left for himself.

He had to take it, whether he wanted to or not!

Sometimes Gu Shen even felt annoyed... because refining the Underworld Fire, he encountered a lot of "unlucky things"!

"Underworld Fire?"

There was a bit of teasing in Turing's voice. He looked at Gu Shen, and asked seriously, "You don't think that the qualification to enter the Time Sanctum is to become a 'God Seat,' or to possess a Source, do you?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He had cultivated in the "Time-Space Turbulence" of the Initial Ship for a period of time. To cultivate in a place with an abnormal time flow rate, it is best to have a Source to protect the body.

As for the Time Sanctum, this kind of super artifact.

The candidate that is worth Turing betting on his "future destiny" should always be a leader, right?

"In the past six hundred years, the number of people who are qualified to know the specific location of the Time Sanctum is no more than five fingers. They not only need to have top-level strength, but also need to have wisdom, courage, luck, and a sufficiently broad mind."

Turing stretched out five fingers, and said calmly, "Unfortunately, they don't seem to be willing to try to surpass the path of 'God of Hunting Seat'. So far, I have only issued three invitations. The Iron Vault Emperor a hundred and sixty years ago rejected me, and Gu Changzhi thirty years ago... also rejected me."

Gu Shen immediately asked, "Mr. Gu Changzhi rejected the creation of entering the Time Sanctum?"

"That's right. My footprints traveled all over the Five Continents... The tides of the times have their ups and downs. This young civilization of the Five Continents was very young when it was first opened up, and would usher in a golden age every hundred years or so. I have been looking for qualified 'leaders,' but I have always failed to achieve my wish."

Turing sighed softly, "Until around the 450th year of the New Calendar, the Iron Vault Emperor conquered the Northern Continent, and I saw a hero who could be compared with the leaders of the Starship Civilization era. So I revealed my identity to the Iron Vault Emperor and confessed everything, but unfortunately he did not choose to enter the 'Time Sanctum' to start cultivating, but chose to build the Giant Wall."

Gu Shen listened in silence.

"And Gu Changzhi made the same choice as the Iron Vault..."

Turing said regretfully, "He doesn't think this is a disaster that can be resisted by 'one's own strength', so he did not step into the Time Sanctum to cultivate."

Gu Shen looked at the tens of millions of mirrors, reflecting tens of millions of himself.

He fell into thought.

At first, he couldn't understand the choices of these two great men...

But suddenly he seemed to understand something.

The Lord of Love once said that the leaders of the Starship Civilization suspected that there was a higher-level civilization in this world.

The so-called "Source Storm" is just a game.

They follow the rules to negotiate with the "Source Storm," even if they know it is a game, they will try their best to survive.

Because for every hundred years they live.

Many people can spend their lives in their homes.

For the "leaders" standing at the highest point, the Five Continents civilization is like a small spark. Whether it is the Iron Vault Emperor or Mr. Gu Changzhi, they personally protect the growth of this spark. They know what it means to enter the Time Sanctum to cultivate... which means the final battle with the super-giant Source Storm. Once they decide to step into the Sanctum, then this civilization spark will usher in the final test.

The reason for refusing to step into the Time Sanctum is very simple.

They hope that this ray of fire will burn for a longer time, and a longer time.

"I know what you are thinking... The most powerful 'transcendent power' in this world is actually 【Fate】."

Turing carried his hands on his back, and stood in this dark void with Gu Shen. He said softly, "The 'super-giant Source Storm' that mankind will eventually fight against is actually fate, just like the endings you saw in the Rebirth Dream, all of this is the arrangement of fate. If you want to break the arrangement of fate, then you must rely on an extremely powerful individual... The God of Hunting Seat back then saw a glimmer of hope."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes, and said, "So... the key to stepping into the Time Sanctum is super strong personal strength, or... the power to control the super artifact."

Turing looked at Gu Shen with some surprise.

"I pulled out the 'Flame Extinguishing' in the dream world."

Gu Shen raised his head, and said, "And Little Xiu has the opportunity to pull open the 'Flame Extinguishing Candle'. This is the reason why he and I are qualified to step into the Time Sanctum."

"You are very smart... you guessed very accurately, but your prerequisites are more abundant than his."

Turing said softly, "You possess the most powerful 'Mind Stream Power' of the Five Continents civilization in six hundred years. From this point of view, you are more suitable for this 'super artifact' than Bai Xiu!"

Sitting in the Time Sanctum for a year, Gu Shen can separate ten strands of Mind Stream Power!

Ten times the efficiency!

"Ten times the Mind Stream Power is not as useful as you think."

Gu Shen smiled, and said, "There are not many things for me to comprehend."

"Is that so?"

Turing asked lightly, "What if... there are complete sparks in the Time Sanctum? What if there are brand new Sources?"

Gu Shen froze on the spot.

"Don't forget, this is the place where the Lord of Melting Iron and his companions fell."

Turing looked at Gu Shen with a smile, and his tone was full of regret, "Actually, I also have a lot of Mind Stream Power... It's a pity that I am not compatible with 'transcendent cultivation' in this life. I really don't have the talent for cultivation. Even if I comprehend the sparks for ten thousand years, I can't comprehend anything."

Gu Shen's eyes became very complicated.

"Here... there are a total of three sparks."

Turing stretched out three fingers, "The sparks of Melting Iron and Craftsman, which symbolize 'Mind Stream Limit' and 'Perfect Forging'; the spark of Grain, which symbolizes 'Seasonal Cycle' and contains part of the 'Time Source'..."

Gu Shen moved his head to look in the direction of his airship.

He murmured, "And a spark of Love."

"No, no, no."

Turing shook his head, and said solemnly, "I said 'here' has three sparks, is before you came... the spark of Love has always been in the Ice Sea, and now it just happened to come to the Time Sanctum by chance."

Gu Shen was stunned.

Then this third one...

"Thanks to the persistent journey of the 'Clone Technique'."

Turing raised his eyebrows, and said, "This third spark, is the spark of Hunting, which symbolizes 'Absolute Destruction' and contains the complete 'Space Source'."

Gu Shen's mind exploded with a bang.

This news... is too shocking!

Everyone thinks that the spark of Hunting has been lost and can never be found again!

The spark of Hunting has always been in the Time Sanctum!

"Didn't you find that Gu Changzhi is terribly strong?"

Turing smiled and said, "This guy returned to the Five Continents from the end of the 【Old World】alone, and encountered a super-giant Source Storm, and even tried to fight it head-on... Even if he failed, he still had the ability to kill the out-of-control Underworld King."

"Although he rejected the cultivation of the Time Sanctum, he did not reject the 'comprehension' of the spark."

Turing said meaningfully, "Look at your Pure Land, doesn't it look very much like the 'Seasonal Cycle' of the Grain Goddess?"

Seasonal Wilderness... corresponds exactly to the seasonal cycle!

"Gu Changzhi is a stunning and unparalleled genius. He created the 'Seasonal Breathing Method' before he melted the Fighting Furnace spark."

Turing said with emotion, "So he perfectly fits two sparks. In addition to the 'Fighting spark', there is also a 'Grain spark'. After comprehending part of the 'Time Source' here, he chose to leave. Perhaps he chose to let the later generations handle this mess, also because of the 'Time Source'... The strong who master this Source Power can often see the future."

"The reason why I said earlier that you and Bai Xiu both have the opportunity to step into the Time Sanctum."

"Because in my opinion..."

"You and Bai Xiu, are both super geniuses who are qualified to comprehend two different Sources!"

Turing looked at Gu Shen, and said, "As for you... you are more compatible with the sparks than Bai Xiu. In addition to the Underworld Fire that was stuffed in by the Underworld King, I think the 'Grain spark', the 'Melting Iron spark', and the 'Hunting spark' are all very compatible with you..."

He asked with a smile.

"Why don't you refine all three of them?"
