At a glance, behind Yu Zi Yu, one would see a colossal, planet-sized illusory clock floating, and the space where he was standing was even more unpredictable and bizarre.

 

This was the manifestation of the Eye of Time and the Eye of Space.

 

And just the appearance of these anomalies… was terrifying enough.

 

However, despite this grandeur, unless the two Divine Eyes fused as one, Yu Zi Yu would never be able to fully shoulder the Supreme Principle of Spacetime.

 

This was a rather sorrowful matter, to say the least.

 

However, just then, a voice rang softly in Yu Zi Yu’s ears, “Since you’ve awakened, you might as well walk the world a little. Secluding yourself endlessly will not help you improve by much…”

 

Hearing Anzuiel’s advice, Yu Zi Yu also fell into a silent contemplation.

 

“Indeed…” After a short while, a long sigh escaped him and he finally stepped out from seclusion.

 

He really needed a break, and walked the world, to see.

 

Otherwise, at this rate, it would not matter if he secluded himself for another hundred years, or even ten thousand years. He still wouldn’t grasp the Supreme Principle of Spacetime.

 

And truly, this was how it should be.

 

Were these Supreme Principles truly that easy to comprehend, they wouldn’t have brought countless peerless geniuses to their knees.

 

They were not called Supreme for nothing.

 

It was because they were unreachable and unfathomable that they were designated as such.

 

Even for prodigies, they were as unreachable as the distant stars in the sky. Visible, yes, but untouchable.

 

Fortunately, Yu Zi Yu had Evolution Points, which allowed him to comprehend the Principles selectively.

 

More importantly, he was blessed with countless opportunities. Astonishingly, he had already reached elementary-level in both the Principles of Time and Space.

 

And that was the truly terrifying part.

 

…

 

Smiling faintly, Yu Zi Yu’s Main Body, entrenched deep within the Realm of Mist, in the very heart of the Tree World, began to twist and contract, shrinking gradually.

 

After a while, a tall and slender figure was standing in the black of his Tree Body. Moonlight draped itself across his shoulders, forming a snowy-white overcoat. His pair of eyes shimmered with a mysterious glow, and upon his brow glimmered a blood-red mark. His Heavenly Eye, the vessel of his Grand Divine Ability: Nine Realms of Heaven.

 

As for his Divine Eyes, they bore within them the Superior Principles of Time and Space.

 

*Tap…* As he took a step, the space around him distorted, and in the next moment, his figure vanished from the Tree World and appeared in the Realm of Fire.

 

However, he did not arrive instantly because of speed, but a masterful manipulation of space.

 

Had one looked into his right eye at that moment, they would have seen a crystalline rhombus flickering deep within glinting with resplendent brilliance.

 

Eye of Space — A Divine Eye that governs the Principle of Space. With a single gleam, space bends to its will.   Unique Abilities:   Void Step — Allows the user to phase into the depths of space, vanishing without a trace, like a fish into the sea, or an eagle soaring into boundless skies.   Blink — Instantly travel vast distances with a thought. Greater Spiritual Energy consumption allows for greater range.   Spatial Domain — Infinitely extends the user’s personal space. What appears to be ten meters… may actually be ten million.   Zero Distance — Ignores physical distance entirely, allowing attacks to instantly strike distant targets.

 

After going through his status screen, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.

 

The Eye of Space was indeed terrifying. However, its true dread did not lie in its innate power but in how Yu Zi Yu wielded it.

 

If employed to its utmost, his methods would surpass all imagination. And if paired with the Eye of Time, which granted him control over time…

 

Even Yu Zi Yu dared not envision the results.

 

However, one thing was certain, if he could master both Divine Eyes completely, then beneath the starry sky, no being’s methods would be more enigmatic… than his.

 

After all, Time and Space both were shrouded in mystery.

 

And even more than that… they are unfathomable.

 

Ordinary people could not even perceive them.

 

As for the strong, even if they do perceive them, they were helpless before them.

 

There was a saying among the cultivators, ‘If you’re facing a cultivator who controls space…you won’t even know where they are. And if you’re facing someone who controls time…you won’t even know when you died. But if you meet someone who has mastered both? Ha… Just wait for death. Even a Supreme Being wouldn’t be able to save you…’

 

These were not empty words, because Yu Zi Yu, who was gradually gaining mastery over both the Principles of Time and Space, knew all too well just how terrifying these Principles truly were.

 

Take now for instance just by creating the Eye of Time, his appearance had already frozen. Eternal youth and beauty, they were as easy as breathing to him.

 

As for the Eye of Space? Not to mention its various other marvelous applications, the lone fact that no formation could trap him was already a huge thing.

 

However, Yu Zi Yu didn’t think much of it. With the Sixteen Holy Wings by his side, nothing in this world could block his path.

 

The additional abilities granted by the Eye of Space were merely icing on the cake.

 

[Better to have it than not. Besides, the Imperial Artifact is still just an external tool…] Comforting himself with that thought, Yu Zi Yu calmed his mind and began walking toward a gorge not far off.

 

There, the fallen leaves of Tier-4 Maple Spirit Trees danced with the wind, resembling fluttering crimson butterflies.

 

As he stepped forward, the fallen leaves rustled softly beneath his feet, while fiery red Spiritual Energy vortexes began to rise into the air, one after another.

 

The entire gorge was dyed in a vibrant hue unique to flame.

 

This was Maple Gorge, the secluded cultivation ground of Nine Tails.

 

And today, Yu Zi Yu had come uninvited…

 

*Hahaha…* With a hearty laugh, Yu Zi Yu cupped his hands and greeted loudly, “Yu Zi Yu greets Lady Nine Tails. I have arrived unannounced. Do forgive the intrusion…”

 

His voice was cheerful and clear, echoing for thousands of kilometers, startling countless Fire Butterflies and sending flocks of birds into the sky.

 

However, that single voice… made the two figures deep within Maple Gorge freeze.

 

‘Yu Zi Yu.’

 

Such a distant name…

 

So distant that the creatures of the Nine Realms, and even the current Demon Court, had long forgotten it.

 

The world knew only of the Supreme Lord of the Demon Court, the Divine Tree, the Demon Emperor.

 

But how many remembered… that Yu Zi Yu was the name behind the Demon Emperor?

 

Still, even if the world had forgotten, two people had not.

 

“Master…”

 

“Master… you’ve come out of seclusion…”

 

Two gasps of astonishment rang out in succession, shaking the entire gorge.

 

In that instant, as the red maple leaves swirled into the sky, two streaks of fiery light shot toward him.

 

One was, of course, the Mistress of Maple Gorge, Nine Tails.

 

The other was Ling Er, the Empress, who had come to discuss the recent upheavals in the Nine Realms with Nine Tails.

 

And Yu Zi Yu, he had come precisely because he knew the two of them were gathered here.

 

“I woke up not long ago. Thought I’d stretch my legs a bit…” With a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Yu Zi Yu looked like a refined, elegant nobleman. He smiled, warm and composed, as he watched the two figures rush toward him like a pair of shooting stars.

 

[It’s been so long… I’ve missed you both.]
