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

Yet, so many years have passed.

No one knows where the Time Dojo is…

As the years weathered away, even those who knew of the existence of the "Time Dojo" became fewer and fewer.

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

Turing gave Gu Shen a definite answer.

He added, "To be precise, it's a part of the 'Time Dojo'."

"A part?"

The world Gu Shen was in began to burn. The restart dream completely collapsed after he devoured the 'Source Will,' and after the interweaving of black and white, the true face of the void gradually revealed itself… Gu Shen's consciousness returned to the airship. He had been moved to the co-pilot's seat. In the driver's seat sat a faint humanoid fluorescent figure – that was the appearance of Mr. Turing during his final conversation.

Blazing flames enveloped the airship.

Gu Shen realized 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.

"Phew."

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the front of the airship. Before the huge blue-silver glass, brilliant flames were burning. Because he had sent the blazing fire to tear apart the restart dream, the entire airship was enveloped in a sea of ​​blazing flames, and a vivid and huge "humanoid figure" was being scorched in the rolling flames.

This was the 'Source Will' devoured by the blazing fire!

A fully formed giant humanoid black hole!

This black hole was nearly a hundred meters in size, comparable to the giants of the Traveler race. Compared to the prototype black spot Gu Shen discovered in the Redwood District, it was like fireflies compared to the bright moon – not even in the same dimension.

"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. 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 in this world, and I also have the ability to send it into the eternal darkness of destruction. Even if it has its own 'independent personality', its knowledge of ancient texts is far inferior to mine."

So… the pit buried in the Banishment Array.

Deep Sea simply couldn't detect it.

"How long has this humanoid black hole existed?"

"A very, very long time, nearly ten thousand years."

Turing smiled and said, "Because its core resides in the 'Time Dojo.' 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. He looked at his hands.

They were no longer so childish.

He had grown a little… Although the blazing fire had released most of its power, he was still considered a child.

"Chi!"

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

The void in front of him cleared away, and Gu Shen saw several figures enveloped by the humanoid black hole: General Rustbone, his teacher, his senior sister, his senior brother… They were currently in a state of 'sleep,' bound by the restart 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 walked through the sea of ​​fire, guided by Turing, and then saw… the so-called "Time Dojo."

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

"The Time Dojo 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 Extinguishing Fire Sword, is a 'conceptual creation' that shouldn't exist in the world. To create it, not only is the great forging craftsmanship of the Lord of Melting Iron needed as the foundation, but also many other conditions: a sufficient amount of 'Mind Stream Power,' a complete chain of 'Spatial Origin,' 'Temporal Origin,' and so on… These conditions are all extremely harsh, and all must be met; none can be missing."

Gu Shen looked at the vast void and darkness before him and fell silent.

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

Turing stretched out his hand and pointed to the boundless starry sky before him.

"Look, what you see… is the Time Dojo."

Gu Shen looked at this extremely desolate world. He did feel a desolate and distant aura.

He reached out and touched the mirror containing the power of Spatial Origin and asked with a complex expression, "So, the Time Dojo is the end of the Old World?"

"The starship carrying the dojo fell here."

Turing murmured, "Perhaps it was because the powerful Origin power of the Time Dojo caused a rift. This area often has strange phenomena, such as 'polar day' and 'polar night.' Throughout the ages, the farthest distance that the Five Continents God Seats have traveled in their physical bodies is here… So, it doesn't seem wrong for you to call it the end of the world."

Once transcendents at the God Seat level arrive in this area, they will sense an irresistible crisis.

For the transcendents of the Starship Civilization, practicing in the "Time Dojo" is a good thing.

But for the God Seats of the Five Continents, staying here is only dangerous!

"Remember what I said… the Time Dojo has flaws? The flow of time in this space is inconsistent; some places are fast, some places are slow." Turing looked back 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 Dojo where the flow rate is closest to normal."

Gu Shen's expression became serious.

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

"Yes."

Turing said calmly, "A long time has passed outside. Using the 'Banishment Array' to deceive Deep Sea and make it sense the abnormality of the flow of time is also an important part of the plan."

Deep Sea has an independent evaluation system.

As the creator, Turing knew how to deceive Deep Sea…

But no matter how seamless the plan, it still requires a certain price, and the price of this deception is that although Gu Shen only used three restarts 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 the Blazing Fire to grow cannot be shortened!

If he wants to restore his combat power…

He must spend a certain amount of "time"!

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

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

Tundra Tomb Master, Dolu River Traveler, and Tian Shui were all one of Turing's many identities.

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

"Of course."

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

Turing stretched out two fingers and gently tapped his head, smiling. "How could the Five Continents civilization have developed something like Deep Sea in just six hundred years?"

The reason why the Five Continents civilization, after surviving the catastrophe, had a cutting-edge Deep Sea in just six hundred years of development was not because of luck.

It was only because Turing was constantly dissecting the wisdom left behind by the Starship Civilization in the Time Dojo, thus allowing the Five Continents civilization to usher in a rare hope for transformation.

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

Turing lowered his eyes and smiled. "But the Five Continents have too little time. I have no choice but to take a gamble."

He succeeded.

Deep Sea is an unprecedented evolutionary unlimited AI that even the Starship Civilization did not possess.

But it also failed.

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

However, this so-called "failure" seemed to further confirm the success of Deep Sea. This AI model, which absorbs the computing power of transcendent life forms to continuously evolve, is an unprecedented existence!

"From today onwards, this dojo 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 pattern to leave the Time Dojo. At the end of the Old World, there is a nearly complete starship parked. This is the starship of the Lord of Melting Iron when he fell. I spent hundreds of years repairing it. This starship can carry you back to the Five Continents. This time you can truly usher in 'homecoming.' The imprisonment of the Divine Infant can be 'offset' through cultivation in the Time Dojo."

This game is interlocked.

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

"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's shoulder, saying, "But the most important thing is that you are self-motivated. If you hadn't grown up, my plan wouldn't be like this."

"What did your plan look like originally?"

Gu Shen asked curiously.

"If the Divine Infant's growth rate isn't fast enough, then I'll find a way to arrange for another person to enter the Time Dojo…"

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 Realm Walker is a top-level ability that can compete with Blazing Fire. In addition, all of his performances have been outstanding. It's just a pity that he met Gu Shen, and what Gu Shen has more than Bai Xiu is actually just the luck of the chosen one.

"Thunder Realm Walker is naturally matched with Extinguishing Candle."

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

"I… refined Nether Fire?"

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly, "I guess this is my luck, right?"

This Nether Fire was designated by the previous Underworld King to be left to him.

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

Sometimes Gu Shen even felt annoyed… because refining Nether Fire had brought him a lot of "bad luck"!

"Nether Fire?"

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

Gu Shen was stunned.

He had practiced in the initial ship's "Space-Time Turbulence" for a period of time. To practice in a place with an abnormal flow of time, it is best to have an Origin protecting the body.

As for the Time Dojo, this kind of super artifact, the candidate Turing would gamble his "future fate" on 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 Dojo is no more than five. They not only need to have top-level strength, but also need to have wisdom, courage, luck, and a broad enough mind."

Turing stretched out five fingers and said calmly, "Unfortunately, they don't seem willing to try to surpass the path of the 'God Hunter Seat.' So far, I have only issued three invitations. The Iron Dome 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 to enter the Time Dojo?"

"That's right, my footprints in those years were all over the Five Continents… The tides of the times have ups and downs. The Five Continents, this immature civilization, was very immature at the beginning, and would usher in a prosperous age every hundred years or so. I have been searching for a qualified 'leader,' but I have never been able to fulfill my wish."

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

Gu Shen listened in silence.

"And Gu Changzhi made the same choice as the Iron Dome Emperor…"

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 Dojo to practice."

Gu Shen looked at the thousands of mirrors, reflecting thousands of versions 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 more advanced civilization in this world.

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

They follow the rules to deal with the "Origin Storm," and even if they know it's a game, they will try their best to survive.

Because every hundred years they live, many people can spend their lives in their homeland.

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

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

They hope that this spark will burn longer and longer.

"I know what you are thinking… The most powerful 'transcendent power' in this world is actually 'fate'."

Turing put his hands behind his back and stood with Gu Shen in this dark void. He said softly, "The 'super-giant Origin Storm' that humans will eventually fight against is actually fate, just like the endings you saw in the restart dream. All of this is arranged by fate. If you want to break the arrangement of fate, then you must rely on extremely powerful individuals… The God Hunter Seat of the past saw a glimmer of hope."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and said, "So… the key point to entering the Time Dojo is super-strong personal strength, or… the power to control a super artifact."

Turing looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

"I pulled out Extinguishing Fire in the dream world."

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

"You are very smart… You guessed it accurately, but your prerequisites are more fulfilled than his."

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

Practicing in the Time Dojo for a year, Gu Shen can separate out 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 so many things for me to comprehend."

"Is that so?"

Turing asked lightly, "What if… there is a complete Fire Seed in the Time Dojo? There is a brand new Origin?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

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

Turing smiled and looked at Gu Shen, his tone full of regret. "Actually, I also have a lot of Mind Stream Power… It's just a pity that I really can't get involved with 'transcendent cultivation' in this life. I really have no talent for cultivation. Even if I comprehend the Fire Seed for ten thousand years, I won't be able to comprehend anything superficial."

Gu Shen's eyes became very complicated.

"Here… there are a total of three Fire Seeds."

Turing stretched out three fingers, "The Melting Iron and Craftsman Fire Seeds, symbolizing the 'limit of Mind Stream' and 'perfect forging'; the Valley Fire Seed, symbolizing the 'rotation of the seasons' and containing part of the 'Temporal Origin'…"

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

He murmured, "There is also a Love Fire Seed."

"No, no, no."

Turing shook his head and said solemnly, "When I say 'here' has three Fire Seeds, it's before you came… The Love Fire Seed has always been in the Ice Sea. It's just a coincidence that it came to the Time Dojo now."

Gu Shen was stunned.

Then this third one…

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

Turing raised his eyebrows and said, "This third Fire Seed is the Hunter Fire Seed, symbolizing 'absolute destruction' and containing a complete 'Spatial Origin'."

Gu Shen's mind exploded.

This news… is too shocking!

Everyone thought that the Hunter Fire Seed had been lost and could no longer be found!

The Hunter Fire Seed has always been in the Time Dojo!

"Didn't you find Gu Changzhi to be terribly strong?"

Turing smiled and said, "This guy just returned to the Five Continents from the end of the Old World all alone and encountered a super-giant Origin Storm. He even tried to confront it head-on… Even if he failed, he still has the ability to kill the out-of-control Underworld King."

"Although he refused the cultivation in the Time Dojo, he didn't refuse the 'comprehension' of the Fire Seed."

Turing said meaningfully, "Look at your Pure Land. Doesn't it look like the 'rotation of the seasons' of the Goddess of Grain?"

Four Seasons Wilderness… corresponds exactly to the rotation of the seasons!

"Gu Changzhi is a brilliant and unparalleled genius. He created the Four Seasons Breathing Technique before fusing the Furnace Battle Fire Seed."

Turing said with emotion, "So he perfectly fits two Fire Seeds. In addition to the Battle Fire Seed, there is also a Valley Fire Seed. After comprehending part of the Temporal Origin here, he chose to leave. Perhaps his choice to let later generations deal with this chaos is also because of the Temporal Origin… Experts who master this kind of Origin power can often see the future."

"The reason why I said before that you and Bai Xiu both have the opportunity to step into the Time Dojo is because in my opinion… you and Bai Xiu are both super geniuses who are qualified to comprehend two different Origins!"

Turing looked at Gu Shen and said, "As for you… you are more compatible with more Fire Seeds than Bai Xiu. In addition to the Nether Fire that was forcibly stuffed in by the Underworld King, I think the Valley Fire Seed, the Melting Iron Fire Seed, and the Hunter Fire Seed are all very compatible with you…"

He asked with a smile, "Why don't you refine all three of these?"

……
