We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

at this time.

Shane was not particularly surprised by Laila's appearance.

Until then.

He had already vaguely guessed that the time nodes that this [Eternal Coffin] brought him to witness were all the scenes when Laila and King Xin met.

This may be because their meetings and conversations determine the future of this world to a certain extent.

Or maybe it's because both of them have left their own imprints on this [Eternal Coffin].

But for Salary King.

Laila's appearance was undoubtedly an unexpected thing.

"Senior, is it you?"

Looking at King Xin who looked exhausted in front of her, Laila couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

"Sure enough, even you are in trouble?"

King Xin fell into a brief silence.

In fact, compared to the things about An Bing and Xiaowan.

What really made him feel tremendous pressure was the consequences of the attack on the research institute by the men of the [Omniscient Sage].

first.

Just as Bell said, although they saved the [Eternal Coffin] in this battle.

However, a considerable part of the research results were still taken away by the enemy.

A lot of data and information have suffered devastating blows.

Not to mention.

In this incident, a large number of researchers and experimental materials were also lost.

Some of them are traitors who obey the orders of the [Omniscient Sage].

The other part is the people who unfortunately died in the attack.

Back and forth.

The number of backbone researchers in the entire institute has dropped to a very embarrassing number.

True.

Just like King Xin said.

As long as the [Eternal Coffin] and the Bronze Dragon were not taken away.

It is only a matter of time before the entire institute makes a comeback and continues to carry out research.

But the problem is.

What they lack most now is time!

According to the original research plan.

The time for arranging the rituals was barely in time before the great flood came.

The time itself is already extremely tight.

And now, the underground research institute has suffered such a heavy blow.

The progress of many research works has not only failed to advance on time, but has also regressed a lot.

Coupled with the serious shortage of manpower, it is almost unrealistic to complete the research within the original deadline.

This is the fundamental reason why King Xin is in such a heavy mood.

As for Xiao Wan and An Bing's matter, although it also had a considerable impact on him.

But after all, it is just a personal emotional private matter.

"Sorry, senior."

King Xin said.

Facing Laila at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After all, this unidentified legendary strongman not only informed him of the prophecy of the great flood in advance, but also temporarily lent him the most precious [Eternal Coffin].

Can it bear fruit?

But because of his own negligence, there were major omissions in the entire plan, and he might even miss the only opportunity to save the world.

Moreover, if he could have confirmed the reality of the Flood earlier, the situation might have been very different.

How can King Xin not feel guilty about this?

"I've heard about you."

Laila didn't blame King Xin, but just said.

"That [Omniscient Sage] really has ulterior motives."

"And I suspect that taking away the research results in your institute is not his real purpose."

"His true intentions may be even more absurd and evil than you and I thought."

Laila first glanced at the bronze dragon under the floor of the hall, and then asked.

"How far have you progressed in your research on space-time technology?"

King Xin didn’t hide anything and said frankly.

"Right now, our technology can only temporarily stagnate an area for a period of time."

"And the scope and time that it can be stagnant are extremely limited."

Hearing this, Laila couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

She can simply stop time by relying on her own laws of time and space.

The effect might even be better than the technology developed by Xin Wang and others.

certainly.

Laila also knew that this did not mean that King Xin’s research results were ordinary.

Quite the opposite.

We can rely on technology to achieve things like dead time.

In fact, it can be called a technological breakthrough across the ages.

To ordinary people, this is simply an incredible thing.

only.

For Laila, who is a legendary mystic in her own right and has mastered the laws of time to a certain extent.

Only to this extent is not enough.

Simply put.

The technology developed by Xinwang is not bad, but...not good enough!

Such technology alone is far from enough to prevent the coming annihilating flood and save the world.

at this time.

After understanding this situation, Laila's eyes flickered, as if she had finally made up her mind, and whispered to herself.

"That's what happened now."

"It seems that we can only adopt that plan."

Upon hearing this, King Xin's expression changed slightly.

"Senior, are you saying that you want to complete that deal?"

"That's from the [Secret Sea]..."

Just then.

A strange, indistinguishable noise broke into Sean's ears.

He couldn't hear the name mentioned in King Xin's mouth clearly.

"This is?"

Xia En's heart skipped a beat.

This kind of noise is by no means the real sound that appeared in this period of history.

It was more like some kind of shielding sound.

As a bystander who witnessed this history with the help of the [Eternal Coffin], he could not really know the existence mentioned by the Cinder King.

After the noise.

The Cinder King continued.

"... Trading with that kind of existence will definitely not end well."

Leila sighed softly: "Of course I know about this."

"But it's just like you knew that the [Omniscient Sage] was suspicious, but you could only cooperate with him."

"Right now, only by trading with Him can we find a glimmer of hope for salvation."

"After all, only the power of... can fight against..."

As Leila spoke, the strange noise sounded again.

It made Shane feel an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Trading?

Trading with what?

And why did the tone of the Cinder King seem to indicate that he also knew part of the content of the transaction?

But didn't the Cinder King and Leila only meet these three times?

How did he know about the transaction mentioned by Leila?

"No... that's not right!"

Suddenly, Shane woke up.

The meeting between the Fire King and Leila may have happened more than three times.

This time, when entering this time node, Shane clearly felt that the pause in the middle was unusually long.

It was like...

He skipped a section for no reason?

Perhaps, the truth is hidden in this skipped time.

As for why this phenomenon occurred.

Most likely, it was due to the same reason as the strange noise.

That is the existence mentioned by Leila and the Fire King.

There is a possibility.

That existence has a very high status, so that even the [Eternal Coffin] cannot record information related to it.

There is also a possibility that someone deliberately eliminated some information related to "Him" in the [Eternal Coffin].

This undoubtedly made Shane more curious.

Leila said that she wanted to trade with that existence to fight against the impending world-destroying flood.

Doesn't this mean...

That existence has the power to fight against [Humiliation]?

But it is obvious.

It is not difficult to hear from Leila's words.

It would undoubtedly cost a lot to trade with such a being and seek His help.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

But, it's the same thing.

Facing this flood that swept the world, they didn't have much choice.

They couldn't let go of any method that could save the world.

Just as Shane was thinking.

Leila suddenly noticed the silver pocket watch in the hands of the Fire King.

"Wait, what is that?"

The Fire King was a little surprised, but still explained.

"This is the certificate of the leader of the [Ice and Snow People]."

"It contains a certain amount of freezing law of icy secret power, which can freeze time and space in a short time."

"Part of our research also refers to the design of the secret technique in this pocket watch."

Hearing this, Leila's face was suddenly enlightened, as if she had suddenly figured out something.

"So that's it... So that's it..."

"So... This is the last missing piece of the puzzle."

Then, Leila looked at the Fire King and said directly.

"Lord of Fire, give me this pocket watch."

"With it, I can find the way to save the world."

"What do you mean?"

The Lord of Fire was stunned, obviously not understanding Leila's intention.

In his opinion.

Although this pocket watch has some extraordinary characteristics, it is only "somewhat" extraordinary.

Let alone saving the world.

It is much worse than the [Eternal Coffin] beside them.

But why does Leila attach so much importance to this silver pocket watch at this time?

After hesitating for a while, the Lord of Fire said.

"Is this pocket watch really so special?"

"Can I find other relics in the [Ice and Snow People] to replace it?"

Seeing that Leila's eyes were a little strange, the Lord of Fire explained.

"Actually, it's like this."

"This pocket watch is also a relic of my wife's mother. It has special meaning to her."

"Besides, I also promised in the letter to return this pocket watch to her, so..."

Lila shook her head seriously.

"Nothing can replace this pocket watch."

"It is so important."

"If you don't want to give it to me, then I can only rob it."

Hearing this, the Fire King immediately gave up the last bit of luck and sighed.

"I understand."

In fact, the Fire King naturally knows the priorities of things.

Compared to such a big thing as saving the world, personal feelings are just trivial matters.

It's just because he has made a promise to An Bing.

So he asked tentatively, is there anything that can be replaced?

After getting a definite negative answer, the Fire King did not hesitate and directly handed [Moment of Time] to Leila.

Seeing this scene, Shane was shocked.

At this time, many doubts in his heart suddenly became clear.

An Bing had mentioned it before.

The Fire King had promised to return [Moment of Time] to him, but he didn't do it in the end.

In addition, he claimed that [Moment of Time] was taken away by an unidentified strong man.

From An Bing's perspective, that was naturally a blatant lie.

After all, in the Great Yan Kingdom, who is the one with the secret path who can take away [the moment of time] from King Xin?

But right now, Laila clearly has such qualifications and abilities.

This way.

Xia En finally fully understood where [Instant Time] belongs in history.

The [Flash of Time] back then was first controlled by the great elder of the [People of Ice and Snow].

Later, after the great elder was injured, it was passed to the next clan leader.

That is An Bing's mother.

Then, the clan leader died, and [Instant Time] was held by King Xin again.

Until this time point in front of me.

Laila took [The Moment of Time] from King Xin and called it "the last missing piece of the puzzle."

Xia En couldn't help but make a bold guess——

Perhaps, the function of traveling through time and space that was later possessed by [Instant Time] was Laila's work!

There are two reasons for reaching this conclusion.

First, Laila herself is a legendary powerhouse who has mastered the laws of time and space.

Secondly, from the conversation between Laila and King Xin, we learned that she seemed to have made a deal with another being of extremely high status.

Only she can transform a relic that could only temporarily freeze time into a prop with the power to travel through time and space.

And if that is the case.

At this moment in history, history has once again formed an extremely wonderful closed loop.

The reason why Xia En was able to go back to the past was precisely because he obtained the [Instant Time] that contains the power of time and space.

Also with the help of this relic.

He had only met Laila a few times in the past.

From a certain perspective.

The reason why Laila came up with the idea of ​​saving the world was because of this silver pocket watch.

But now.

This silver pocket watch was transformed by Laila and gained special powers.

Finally, by chance, she fell into the hands of Xia En...

"etc……"

Suddenly, Shane came to his senses and realized a possibility.

Is it really just a coincidence that he obtained [Instant Time]?

It's not hard to see.

Lila actually had contact with the Kingdom of Shoton, which later became the [Coral City].

He even knew about the "coralization" path chosen by the Kingdom of Southorn.

If Laila had predicted——

Will Xia En explore the palace of [Coral City] in the future, and then deliberately leave [Moment of Time] in the Shoton Kingdom?

This conjecture, at first glance, seems like a fantasy.

But after Xia Endu witnessed the so-called thread of fate with his own eyes, he felt instinctively——

This kind of thing is not impossible.

Now Xia En can only see the thread of fate at the same time.

And what if, coupled with Laila's laws of time and space.

Maybe we can really see things that happen in the more distant future, where the threads of fate intersect with each other.

It is equivalent to truly predicting the future!

If this is all true.

Which came first, the existence of [Momentary Time], or the fact that Xia En went back to the past?

This kind of closed loop in time and space really shocked Xia En.

And the moment Laila took over [The Moment of Time].

The world in front of Xia En suddenly changed.

Everything around him seemed to be covered by a layer of water waves, becoming hazy and unreal.

There was also a familiar voice ringing in my ears.

"Captain Shane, Captain Shane? What's wrong with you?"
