Chapter 883 – Chronological Mob

　　Twelve days ago.

　　Seven figures clad in gray cloaks passed through the giant beast’s esophagus and arrived before the pitch-black stomach wall.

　　The gray-robed figure wearing the vortex mask lightly lifted his palm, and two huge purple vortices opened at the same time, one swept all the seawater inside the stomach wall into it, and the other blocked the outside of the esophagus, preventing the seawater outside from tumbling in.

　　In a matter of seconds, the seawater within the stomach wall was drained.

　　Wang Mian raised his head and gazed at the [Eagle Duck] that was deeply stabbed in Chen Yangrong’s chest, as well as the flowing circle of light that was slowly rotating at its end, his eyes narrowed slightly ……

　　”Captain, that blade is exactly like yours eh?!” Whirlpool looked at the knife on Chen Yangrong’s chest, and then looked at the [Eagle Duck] on Wang Mian’s waist, and opened his mouth in shock, “This knife of yours, is it possible that it’s still a couple’s model?”

　　”……” Wang Mian spoke helplessly, “That’s the [Eagle Duck], only it doesn’t belong to this time.”

　　Tian Ping frowned and pondered for a long time, “Could it be, that knife is ……”

　　”Well, it should be the saber of the ‘I’ from the future that the [Night Curtain] squad encountered earlier.” Wang Mian nodded.

　　”Awesome captain!” Rose said excitedly, “Doesn’t that mean that in the future, you will definitely break through to become a god?”

　　”That’s certainly true, Captain is already going to break through to become a human ceiling now, can becoming a god be far behind?” Moon Ghost echoed.

　　”It’s hard to say, with the shifting timeline, the future is also subject to change.” King Face shook his head.

　　”Are you saying that the future you returning to the present to change the timeline will have an effect on your future?” Tian Ping asked doubtfully, “But if the present is altered, the trajectory of the future will also be deflected, in case he didn’t become a god in the end and didn’t return to the present, then the present won’t be altered …… Paradoxes don’t arise?”

　　Wang Mian shook his head, “What you’re talking about is the ‘Grandmother Paradox’ in the traditional sense, and the principle of my [Temporal Sequence Mob] is different.

　　There are gods of time in every godly system in the world, but their godly ruins are all somewhat different as well, Kronos gave me my [Temporal Sequence Thug], which is a ‘Disordered Madman Outside of Time’, and after possessing this Godly Ruin, even if I go back to the past to change history, the shifts in the timeline won’t have any effect on my own established past.

　　In terms of the grandmother paradox, even if I go back in time and kill my grandmother, I won’t disappear due to her death ……”

　　”Then wouldn’t you be able to go back in time and change history with impunity?” Whirlpool’s mouth dropped open in shock.

　　Scales walked behind him, slapped the back of his head, and couldn’t help but scold, “What the hell are you talking about, the captain is now only going back in time to change history twice, and has already become …… How can this not have a price?”

　　”The price, there is indeed a price.” Wang Mian nodded slightly, “The power of karmic backlash from tampering with the timeline will cut my lifespan to a great extent, and the further back in time I go, the greater the butterfly effect caused by altering the timeline, and the more horrifying the cut in lifespan will be.

　　Those two time retrogressions before, although the retrogressions didn’t last more than a day, the butterfly effect caused was just too strong, so cumulatively, it cut down my lifespan by a total of nearly twenty years.”

　　Wang face’s two time backtracking, are back to the past a few hours ago, in advance to the night watchman warning of the arrival of foreign enemies, although the backtracking time is not much, but because of his early warning, there are tens of millions of people were able to survive, such a huge karmic reversal of the power of the exhaustive addition of his body, resulting in longevity loss is naturally an extremely horrifying degree.

　　Looking at Wang Mian’s graying temples and haggard face, the people of the [Mask] team fell into silence.

　　When Wang Mian conducted his first time regression, he himself was less than twenty years old, and even though his lifespan had shrunk by a few years, he was still young and vigorous, so they didn’t notice, but it wasn’t until some time ago when Wang Mian conducted his second time regression that they realized that Wang Mian had aged significantly ……

　　They had also guessed that this might be the aftereffects of Wang Mian’s time retracement, but they had never expected that the price would be twenty years of life.

　　In life, how many twenty years could there be?

　　After the two time regressions, Wang Mian, who should have been only twenty-six years old, directly jumped to nearly fifty years old, and his best and most precious youthful years, just in a flash, went up in smoke.

　　Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere of the crowd was a bit heavy, Wang Mian smiled slightly and said:

　　”Don’t be so pessimistic, I’m the agent of the God of Time, maybe after I become a god, I’ll be able to have an endless lifespan.”

　　Wang Mian’s consolation didn’t seem to dispel the low mood of the crowd, the afterglow of the vortex slightly swept over the crowd, and after a few moments of silence, he scratched his head and laughed, “Captain, after you become a god, don’t forget about us!

　　Although it’s not necessarily necessary to make us eternally youthful or anything, extending our vacation by a few days shouldn’t be too much, right?”

　　Hearing Whirlpool’s jibe, the crowd rolled their eyes, and the originally dull atmosphere came back to life.

　　Just then, the old man who was nailed above the stomach wall by [Eagle Duck] slowly opened his eyes.

　　”Mixed in a few rats?……” Chen Yangrong spoke indifferently, “If you want to live, pull out this knife in front of my chest, and when I get out, I’ll repay you properly… …”

　　The moment his voice echoed in the dim space, the spirits of the people in the [Mask] squad immediately tensed, they glanced at each other, and Wang Mask’s voice quietly surfaced in the minds of the others.

　　”The future me stuck the [Eagle Duck] in his chest, this old man must have a problem …… I’ll sense the timeline embedded in that closed ring, you guys help me stall for time.”

　　As the words fell, Wang Mian slowly closed his eyes, connecting his own Divine Ruin to the [Eagle Duck] in Chen Yangrong’s chest, and quickly flipping through the timeline in that flowing circle.

　　Whirlwind nodded imperceptibly, turned his head to look at the old man on the stomach wall, and pretended to be stupid as he spoke:

　　”Repayment? Really? What all can I repay?”

　　Chen Yangrong stared blankly, as if he too had not expected that someone would actually believe in this nonsense, and a smirk surfaced at the corners of his mouth.

　　Oooh! Ran into a fool!

　　”Supreme power, never-ending lifespan …… whatever you want, I can give it to you!”

　　”Supreme? How high? Higher than ‘Klein’?”

　　”Much higher than that.”

　　”Wow then you’re awesome!”

　　”……”

　　Right in the middle of the two people’s nutrient-less conversation, Wang Mian’s frown got tighter and tighter, and after an unknown amount of time, his eyes snapped open, his face staring up like never before.

　　”Crap ……,” he muttered as he looked up at the darkened stomach wall.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　Rose noticed the change in Wang Mian’s demeanor and asked with some concern.

　　Wang Mian turned around, took a deep breath, calmed his tumultuous thoughts, and spoke seriously:

　　”Next, every word I say, you all have to listen carefully ……”
