Chapter 623 79: The Great Power of Time and Space
Father.
The title of 'father' is very unfamiliar to Su Ziyu, but the moment he heard the plea that resembled a prayer from a believer, his heart instantly clenched.
Su Ying.
His and Pasha's daughter.
An unexpected outcome.
As he advanced step by step to his current level, Su Ziyu already realized that for divine beings like him, having offspring was extremely difficult. Even before advancing to a demigod, under normal biological reproduction probabilities, the possibility of him and Pasha having offspring was less than one in ten thousand.
In some sense, Su Ying's birth is more aligned with the workings of destiny, a miracle that would inevitably occur under a destiny's choice.
Yes.
Su Ying's birth was the choice of the Wasteland Plane; it sensed the presence of Su Ziyu and, in that one and only chance, selected the offspring of Su Ziyu and a native as the fated child to save the Wasteland Plane. Su Ying's first attribute is 'Child of the Plane', which is the choice of the Wasteland Plane's collective consciousness.
The relationship between Su Ziyu and Pasha was not exactly of love.
He was still very confused at that time, struggling to survive, and more importantly, everything he had encountered before was incredibly difficult. At that time, Su Ziyu was first captured by aliens and imprisoned as a slave, living a life worse than pigs and dogs for a few days.
Finally, when the Hourglass of Time activated again, the new world he arrived in was a medieval village with mysterious entities.
In this plane, the blows Su Ziyu received were significant; although he managed to survive by luck, he could never forget the scene of being abandoned by Ken and Lina, lying alone and desperate at the bottom of a cliff awaiting death.
As comrades fighting side by side, Su Ziyu exerted all his force to save Lina and Ken, almost bearing all the pressure of the frontal battle.
But unfortunately.
When he fought desperately with that possessed monster, almost dying together, Ken and Lina didn't even glance at him, not even willing to come down and help retrieve his body. If they had, Su Ziyu wouldn't have felt so sad and despairingly alone, awaiting death in the cold night wind.
He still remembers the feeling when he used his last ounce of strength to call Lina and Ken's names and remembers the bitter smile he squeezed out at the corner of his mouth.
Although he knew Ken's choice was a natural human reaction, abandoning him was the likeliest option for survival.
But the despair of that moment he will never forget.
Lina and Ken had saved him, but they also abandoned him at the life-and-death moment. Although Su Ziyu said at the final farewell, "We are even," in fact, a lock had been placed on his heart at that moment.
Everything he saw in the Wasteland Plane further chilled Su Ziyu's heart.
He understood that to survive, he had to rein in unnecessary compassion, but as a regular person educated in modern values, he had his moral bottom line, and his entanglement with Pasha emerged in such circumstances.
Strictly speaking, Su Ziyu's initial relationship with Pasha was more akin to comrades-in-arms.
Pasha didn't abandon him, even when faced with the immensely powerful Mutant Giant, she fought alongside him until the last moment. She gave Su Ziyu unwavering trust, never doubting for a moment that he might abandon her to use as bait and seize the chance to escape. Pasha, using herself as bait, secured the pivotal opportunity for Su Ziyu, allowing him, still very weak at the time, to counter-kill the powerful Mutant Giant.
This kind of trust held an indescribable allure for Su Ziyu at that time.
Pasha had her ideals and responsibilities; she wanted to save others. As a woman, she was braver and stronger than others; perhaps she wasn't as beautiful as Qing Ji, but to Su Ziyu, Pasha had always been a companion to entrust his back to.
They were comrades, then became casual partners during their farewell.
Su Ziyu thought it was just a fleeting romance, two lonely warriors seeking solace in each other's company for a brief time, but unexpectedly, fate played a joke on them, and they actually had a child.
So when they met again for the second time, their relationship naturally changed.
They tried to interact like a couple or husband and wife, the existence of the child brought them closer. Pasha remained someone who wanted to save others, a companion to entrust his back to, yet she had undergone bionic transformation. Even so, she tried to give Su Ziyu the duties of a wife or lover, the solace a partner should provide, and felt guilty and sad because there were things she couldn't give.
Their relationship wasn't standardly romantic, but when you have a companion to live and die with, what more can you ask for?
Throughout his journey, many people greatly influenced Su Ziyu, changing his prior perceptions of everything.
Winter Witch.
Van Helsing.
Qing Ji.
Nun Fried.
Perhaps this is his fate, the road of a space-time traveler doesn't allow him to have a normal romance like others. Su Ziyu's relationship with Pasha was like this, and his relationship with Qing Ji was also a tangled troubled relationship, from initial struggling for survival, to final mutual understanding, and then fighting side by side.
A thousand-year wait, Qing Ji quietly watched the seas change and the world transform, silently waiting for his return. After a short reunion, it was another long separation.
He gave Qing Ji redemption, but when did Qing Ji ever wrong him?
Destiny does not let people move forward step by step according to plan, without preparation, and Su Ziyu also learned to adapt to everything and accept everything after experiencing so much.
He must do something.
Even if at this moment given a little more time, Su Ziyu could fully seize all authority from Storm Lord-Bachard, yet he still unhesitatingly interrupted the process.
Power he could slowly obtain, but as a father, he couldn't possibly abandon his child at this moment.
Although this child is unexpected, a gift of fate.
But from the moment Su Ziyu saw her, the feeling of blood connection, the continuation of life, the bonds of kinship, made him willing to give up everything for it.
Golden grains of sand emerged one by one.
Behind Su Ziyu, the shadow of the Hourglass of Time gradually appeared, and he began to lock onto the Space Beacon of the Wasteland Plane, preparing to forcibly teleport into that world. But soon he discovered something was amiss, the world was actually rejecting his descent, as if there was a net protecting it, the gaps in that net unable to withstand Su Ziyu's entry, indicating that if he forced his way through, the result might be the net shattering, or he being swallowed by the plane's backlash.
Damn it!
His existence has exceeded the limits of the Wasteland Plane, with the protective barriers repelling his direct entry.
If he forces it, he wouldn't know what might happen.
Perhaps like a giant trying to squeeze into a small space, maybe the space would break, or the giant might be crushed.
"Young man, don't rush!" Just as Su Ziyu faced this predicament, wanting to force a breakthrough descent, the voice of Space-Time Guardian Lord Stephen suddenly rang out: "That plane repels divine level beings entering."
"If you forcefully enter like this, you might be torn apart by the space itself."
"Now I will teach you the Projection Technique."
"In that plane, you have a Divine Favored with the Divinity you bestowed, you can use her as the Divine Beacon and forcibly descend with the Divine Incarnation method!"
"Activate the Power of Divine Format."
"Now I'll teach you, as a Divine Spirit, what methods to use to handle sudden situations!"
As Su Ziyu activated his Power of Divine Format, soon a massive stream of data surged into his mind, rapidly read by the Space-Time Monitor System, and immediately spells were parsed into corresponding skills, quickly mastered by Su Ziyu.
——Projection Technique.
——Imitation Technique.
——Spirit Realm Projection.
——Phantom Spirit Incarnation.
——Divine Descent.
——Saint Incarnation.
One by one, spells were parsed and transformed, and Lord Stephen mastered hundreds of projection incarnation techniques, Su Ziyu quickly selected those useful, and then he began locking onto Su Ying's Space Beacon through the Space-Time Monitor System.
Su Ying carried the Space-Time Apostle System he replicated, though not as powerful as the Space-Time Monitor System, it could still serve as Su Ziyu's Divine Favored, providing clear space positioning.
Su Ziyu now needed some time to create a Saint Incarnation, so he chose the most efficient method.
He directly designated Su Ying as his Divine Favored, then used her as the beacon for the 'Divine Descent' ritual.
In other words.
Su Ziyu would temporarily abandon his physical body, descending in spiritual form to the Wasteland Plane.
"Remember."
"The Divine Descent ritual lasts for a short time! Solve the issue quickly, then enter the plane in the form of Saint Incarnation." Lord Stephen's voice carried a hint of severity, saying gravely: "I will temporarily bind the Storm Authority that Bachard has scattered."
"After solving the issues there, return immediately to absorb this Storm Power."
"Only by being strong yourself can you guard everything fundamentally."
Tick-tock.
Accompanied by the ticking sound of the clock, on the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss, almost half of the plane's space seemed to be frozen solid, everything's flow speed becoming extremely slow, even the fierce wind that nearly peeled off a layer of ground seemed to stagnate, the hurricane eye spinning in the sky suddenly froze like a screenshot.
This enormous power spread directly throughout the Bottomless Abyss, making many Abyss Lords who were enjoying themselves in their lairs tremble at the same moment.
——"Time Freeze!"
This was an unprecedented Twelve Ring Spell, it even temporarily covered the Deep Pit Magic Net enveloping the Bottomless Abyss, seizing a part of the Net's authority.
A gigantic silver-white clock projection cast on the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss.
Its hands slowly moved, fixing the plane's time at the moment before Su Ziyu's Incarnation Descent.
Unknown when.
Frightened gazes of prying fell on the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss, from powerful beings in the Lower Plane that could shake mountains with a stomp, yet Lord Stephen faced it without fear, calmly watching Su Ziyu, who seemed to sleep with closed eyes, gently raising a hand, and the Silent Domain directly isolated the 422nd layer from the Bottomless Abyss.
He allowed no accidents to hinder the growth of the space-time traveler.
The Space-Time Hub needed the traveler's power, they, the Space-Time Guardians had their limitations, but the traveler has the power to break all shackles!
