135: Chapter 133 I'm a very patient person, but I advise you to face reality.
After passing through that hidden passage.
Lin Mo had imagined countless scenarios.
But he never expected to find a hidden paradise here.
At the end of the spatial passage lay a valley.
Green mountains, lush waters, and white clouds swirling about; a stream flowed from between black rock walls, merging into a small, emerald-green pool.
A few unknown ancient trees grew by the pool, their foliage lush and their leaves swaying gently in the breeze.
There were even birds chirping happily.
The air carried a faint scent of tea.
Looking toward the source of the fragrance.
Under an ancient tree by the emerald pool sat a stone table.
A crisscrossing Go board was carved into the stone table, with black and white pieces in their places, looking like a game that had just begun.
Opposite the stone table sat a person.
Dressed in white with hair draped down, his face looked young, appearing to be only in his early thirties.
His features were extremely handsome.
It was the kind of face that felt comfortable and friendly at first glance.
The White Dragon King had a smile on his lips and a gentle look in his eyes.
He looked up at Lin Mo, who was at the mouth of the passage.
It was as if he were looking at an old friend who had finally kept an appointment after a long wait.
“Since you've already been resurrected, why don't you come out?”
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
This White Dragon King didn't look like he had just woken up; it was completely different from the information the Alliance Leader had received.
Lin Mo soon understood.
The Alliance Leader was only an Eighth Class Advancement; if he could easily calculate information about the Dragon King, it would be far too disrespectful to the Dragon King.
“Naturally, I didn't want to have a direct confrontation with you.”
The White Dragon King extended his right hand, palm up, gesturing slightly toward the stone stool opposite him.
“Sit.”
“The tea has just been brewed.”
Lin Mo looked up, calmly sizing up the White Dragon King.
The White Dragon King also looked at him calmly.
Over thirty meters separated the two.
The stream gurgled, and birds chirped.
To an outsider, it would truly look like two friends of different generations meeting by chance in a scenic area.
Lin Mo lifted his foot and walked over.
Like an ordinary neighborhood youth taking a stroll in his backyard after a meal.
Walking up to the stone table, Lin Mo glanced at the stone stool opposite.
Then he reached out and pulled his luxurious Purple Cloud Divine Wood recliner from the space behind him.
*Click.*
The recliner unfolded.
Lin Mo lay down on it and crossed his legs.
A group of dragon girls appeared by his side and instinctively began to massage him.
The White Dragon King’s hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and the corner of his mouth began to twitch.
“I didn't come here to play Go with you,” Lin Mo said indifferently.
The White Dragon King didn't get angry.
He set down his teacup and smiled.
That smile was very natural, even making one feel it was sincere.
“Hold your hand for a moment.”
The White Dragon King’s voice was neither high nor low, steady and clear.
“You and I need not necessarily be enemies.”
Lin Mo stared at him.
The White Dragon King met his gaze, still smiling.
Three seconds of silence passed.
Lin Mo spoke: “Stop talking nonsense; I still have to go back and hand in my homework.”
White Dragon King: “...”
He picked up his teacup and took a light sip.
“Lin Mo, do you know what lies beyond this world?”
“The Boundary Sea,” Lin Mo said. “Void Creatures? Evil god stowaways?”
The White Dragon King set down his teacup.
“The Boundary Sea is merely the porch.”
“Beyond the porch, it is divided into two poles.”
He reached out and pointed to two positions on the stone Go board.
Left side, black piece.
Right side, white piece.
“True World.”
“Void Realm.”
“Or to put it more bluntly—the Reality Realm and the Nothingness Realm.”
Lin Mo didn't speak; he was also quite curious about the world outside, so he decided to hear what the other had to say.
The White Dragon King continued:
“The world we are in floats within the Boundary Sea.”
“The Boundary Sea is vast and endless.”
“A world like this one is as tiny as a grain of sand in the Boundary Sea.”
“And the Boundary Sea is full of powerful predators who devour heavens and earth, following the law of the jungle.”
“As for you all, you could be targeted at any moment and become a snack they swallow on a whim.”
His tone remained indifferent throughout.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
“And you have now been targeted by passing True World pirates... the renowned Tali Tribe.”
The Tali Tribe?
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.
Weren't these the lizardmen he had encountered in the First Class Advancement dungeon?
It was said that the alien races were groups that appeared suddenly, appearing in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield through unknown means.
So they weren't creatures of this world to begin with, but extra-dimensional beings migrating from the Boundary Sea.
“And so?”
The White Dragon King looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“So, with your talent, you will sooner or later leave this world and head to a world with a larger stage.”
“Staying here will only result in losing your life for nothing.”
“And I... can help you.”
“As long as you do me a small favor.”
He picked up his teacup again.
“A small favor?”
Lin Mo looked calmly into the White Dragon King’s eyes.
Even before he finished, Lin Mo knew he wasn't up to any good.
Princess Ling Yun, who was by his side, was trembling all over; caught between the two, she was scared to death.
She could only stiffly help massage Lin Mo’s shoulders.
“It's very simple; you just need to hand Su Xiaoli over to me.”
“How about it? Isn't that a great deal?”
Lin Mo: “...”
“I can give you all of my daughters; you can play with them however you like.”
“Every one of them is no worse than Su Xiaoli.”
“You’re really making a profit this time!”
Looking at the White Dragon King who sounded like a salesman, Lin Mo slightly regretted talking to him.
That feeling was like being forced to eat a piece of crap.
He raised his right hand.
He didn't even activate any fancy spells.
Relying solely on the buff of World Power, he threw a pure punch at the air directly in front of him.
In just an instant.
A terrifying tide of power erupted violently, centered on Lin Mo’s fist.
The stone table, teacup, and black and white Go pieces thirty meters away.
The nearby thousand-year-old ancient trees, the stream, and the birds.
Along with the surrounding air and the underlying physical laws, everything was pulverized under this single punch.
The White Dragon King’s figure, still sitting in place, along with the entire green mountain behind him, was like a mirror struck by a sledgehammer.
With a loud *crash*.
They shattered into countless silver-white spatial fragments.
And dissipated with the wind.
The next second.
The White Dragon King’s voice rang out in the air behind Lin Mo.
“It's useless.”
He stood in the void, gently dusting off non-existent dust from his white clothes.
“Lin Mo, I admit your current power is astonishing.”
“It’s not something this simple External Incarnation of mine can contend with.”
“But my Space Law has long since reached the supreme realm.”
“You can never hurt me.”
The White Dragon King looked down at Lin Mo from above, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.
Lin Mo turned around.
Looking at the White Dragon King who was still acting pretentious.
He expressionlessly pulled up his skill panel.
Earlier in the Gate of World-Breaking dungeon, he had obtained a total of four time-type skills from the Demon King's incarnation for free.
One was Time Cage, which he had already used.
The remaining three were:
[Time Dagger]: Your next attack will hit the enemy 1 second into the future.
[Time Stasis]: Slows down the flow of time in an area.
[Time Acceleration]: Speeds up the flow of time in an area.
Lin Mo raised his hand and pressed two fingers together.
He casually condensed a transparent blade of Qi.
He activated [Time Dagger].
His figure instantly tore through the air, appearing before the White Dragon King.
The Qi blade sliced through the White Dragon King’s neck without any resistance.
*Rip.*
The Qi blade passed right through the White Dragon King’s phantom.
It missed.
The White Dragon King’s figure appeared on a black rock three hundred meters away.
He shook his head and laughed aloud.
“Time-type skills?”
“Toys given to you by that stupid woman, the Demon King, I presume?”
“She really is an idiot, to be able to do so many brainless things.”
The White Dragon King straightened his wide sleeves, his tone full of mockery.
“If you had mastered the Time Law, you would indeed be qualified to hurt me.”
“But the premise is that your understanding of time must be deep enough.”
“Time skills are obscure and difficult to understand; every bit of progress requires hundreds or even thousands of years of comprehension.”
“You want to hit me with a skill that hasn't even scratched the surface?”
The White Dragon King sighed.
“That’s why I say these are just toys she gave you when she was bored.”
“Even if you swing ten thousand times, the result will be the same.”
Lin Mo smiled.
Hard to practice?
After the Fourth Class Advancement, plus the level-up he just got in the dungeon.
Lin Mo’s experience multiplier had reached a terrifying 124.3 billion times!
Needs hundreds or thousands of years to comprehend?
Go tell that to my 124.3 billion times experience!
Lin Mo’s skill bar erupted with a blinding golden light.
[Time Dagger (Level 850)]: Your attack will hit the enemy 1 to 850 seconds into the future (time selectable).
[Consumption: Different time points have different hit difficulties; consumption increases according to hit difficulty. Minimum 10 million Mana points]
Level 100 Advancement Effect:
[Time Anchoring]:
After this attack is launched, it ignores any spatial folding, physical defense, and ethereal evasion.
The result cannot be changed; it is a guaranteed hit!
Lin Mo closed the panel.
Using it once and reaching level 850, he could only say it was barely acceptable.
He stepped forward again, walking toward the White Dragon King.
The White Dragon King, seeing Lin Mo approaching again, still maintained a composed smile.
“Still haven't given up?”
“I'm a patient man, but I advise you to face reality.”
The White Dragon King held his hands behind his back.
He didn't even bother to take a defensive stance.
Lin Mo walked up to him.
He swung his right fist.
An unremarkable straight punch aimed right at the White Dragon King’s face.
At the same time, he activated the Level 850 [Time Dagger].
The White Dragon King looked at that fist, his eyes full of disdain and pity.
He shattered like a mirror, appearing in another place in the next second.
