Chapter 178 The Temple of Wishes and the Slow Walk of Time [Subscription Request]
The collapse of the pillar was no less than a bolt from the blue for the believers and contract-makers in the temple.
This meant that the Infinite God had completely abandoned the worship and faith of Magtan City.
Some even regarded this as an ominous sign.
But no one knew the real reason why the Infinite God's pillar collapsed.
When Chen Xuan tried to conclude a contract, there were at least a dozen people around him who were also touching the pillar.
No one could have imagined that the withdrawal of the Infinite God's will was not to abandon this place, but to be scared away by someone.
After the incident, when everyone was in panic, Chen Xuan had already withdrawn.
Since the Infinite Temple could no longer make money, he could only shift his target to other temples.
Standing at the bottom of the steps of the Infinite Temple, he touched his chin in confusion.
He completely ignored the crying and screaming of the pan-believers in the temple above.
"It seems that the gods have to pay a price for contract feedback."
"Otherwise, Infinite Divine Will would not have run away."
He lowered his head and thought, these gods are not as generous as people imagine.
But think about it carefully, the feedback exchange of the divine contract seems to be seriously unequal.
At the beginning, he only got 0.17 water clock hours of double top talents in exchange for all his lifespan, potential, past and present memories, and souls that can never be redeemed.
A complete profiteer.
It is equivalent to the gods originally giving him a "Genius Limited Time Experience Card", which can be recycled and reused after the time is up, but the exchange is all the contracting parties.
After being modified by Chen's golden finger.
Not only did the original "Limited Time Experience Card" become a "Permanent Card", the exchange price that Chen Xuan had to pay also became a mere 1 picosecond of lifespan.
With this in and out, Infinite Divine Will was so bad that he cried.
It has always been only Divine Will that accepts the offerings of mortals and fleeces mortals.
When did it turn the other way around?
Through the performance of the infinite divine will running away, Chen Xuan made a bold guess.
That is, these so-called divine wills condensed from the beliefs and thoughts of all living beings should have autonomous consciousness.
It is definitely not in a state of no autonomous consciousness as the natives of Naroa generally believed before.
Moreover, the divine will plundered some power from the "lower world" by concluding a divine contract with mortals.
The conspiracy of plunder is hidden in the unequal exchange.
Not to mention that the process of concluding a divine contract is like the divine will running in a fixed program form.
Chen Xuan always felt that these divine wills were plotting something against the natives of Naroa.
But they seemed unable to directly interfere with the Naroa continent.
It seems that the divine will has nothing to do with the external monsters.
However, Chen Xuan suspected that the origin of the divine will might not be as those ancient books and scriptures said, which originated from the beliefs and thoughts of all living beings, and there were some unknown secrets involved.
Shaking his head, Chen Xuan stepped out of the Infinite Temple.
Regardless of what secrets these fancy divine wills have, they don't prevent it from getting the wool anyway.
The collapse of the infinite divine will proves one thing, that is, the modification of the contract by the golden finger just happens to completely restrain the mechanism of the divine contract.
Even if the divine will can detect it, it can't counterattack, and can only flee in panic to avoid being fleeced a second time.
According to the natives of Naroa, each creature can only conclude a divine contract three times in his lifetime.
Chen Xuan has concluded a contract with the infinite divine will once, and now there are two chances left.
You can consider changing another divine will to get the wool.
And his request this time is to gain the ability to control time.
If his current conditions cannot meet the exchange, then he will settle for the next best thing and find a way to change to a time-series ability.
However, whether this request can be fulfilled or not, we have to wait until the contract is concluded to know the answer.
While thinking, he looked at other temples in the "park".
It's strange to say that there are many temples in Magtan City, but there is no time temple and space temple.
I don't know if there are any other places.
Baron Bezos's life-saving displacement ability was concluded through the Temple of Wishes.
God's wills such as wishes, hopes, infinity, and destiny are relatively broad, and basically most wishes can be realized.
Their "business" is miscellaneous and not refined, and the exchange price is often higher.
For example, if you want to make a contract in exchange for magic ability, the temples of wishes, hopes, infinity, and destiny can also do it, but the price is higher than going to the Magic Temple to make a contract.
However, this is also very normal. Only this kind of temple with broad God's will can meet all kinds of messy requirements and wishes.
For example, if you have two top talents, if you run that kind of professional temple, you have to run twice and conclude two divine contracts.
It doesn't matter to others, and it may even be more cost-effective to run twice.
But for Chen Xuan, it is best to get it done in one go!
Anyway, after the contract is modified, even the highest contract cost can be infinitely reduced.
After leaving the Infinite Temple, Chen Xuan chose the Temple of Wishes as the next contract target.
The two temples are not far apart.
Everything was normal here, and many people came to make a divine covenant.
The main body of the Temple of Wishes was in the shape of a tower, and its shape was a bit like the Golden Dome Pagoda in Siam.
He walked through the drunken crowd and went straight into the hall.
There were no statues or any symbols here either, only a pillar with a golden pattern in the middle.
There are also two eye-catching and strange symbols on this sacred pillar.
You can understand the meaning of these two symbols at a conscious level just by looking at them.
It is——
--wish!
It seems that the escape of Infinite Divine Will has not affected other Divine Will's continued "business" in Magtan City.
Looking at the golden divine pillar, Chen Xuan hesitated in a rare way.
If the gods and wills can communicate with each other, then he may not be able to harvest the wool of the divine contract.
After a slight hesitation, he walked towards the divine pillar.
With brute strength, he pushed away the crowd and raised his hand to gently touch the divine pillar.
The same cold touch, the same withdrawal of thoughts.
When he came back to his senses, his consciousness had already appeared in the mysterious dark space.
A pale golden light appears, containing emotions of wishes and hope.
Then a simple blank contract condensed in the light.
【Imagine your contract and wish】
…
"Appeared!"
Chen Xuan suddenly became energetic.
Whether the conclusion can be successfully concluded depends on the next step!
He calmed down and tried to fill in the blank contract with his mind according to the requirements of the handwriting:
"Give me the power to control time and space."
…
This line of small words appeared on the blank contract.
New prompts will appear soon.
…
[You are not enough to pay the contract requirements]
[The combination of time and space constitutes the original rules of the world]
【And you are just a mortal】
…
The two or three lines of prompts that appeared one after another made Chen Xuan feel mixed.
Fortunately, the collapse of the infinite divine will did not affect the normal conclusion of other divine wills.
What's worrying is that even if he devotes all of himself, he can't exchange for any power to control time and space.
I don’t know if it’s because the Wish Temple can’t do it, or if I’m really not qualified.
It's just that his tone of voice regarding this wish from God was quite serious, which made him even more uncertain about the origin of God's will.
But as long as a divine contract can be concluded, these are minor problems.
He focused on the contract, erased the previous conditions, and filled in new ones.
"Give me the power to control time."
…
【伱 is not enough to pay the contract requirements】
[If the long river of time goes against the flow, the whole world will be turned upside down]
…
I don’t know why, but the will of the heart and God seems to be more talkative than the infinite will of God.
Even the prompts are always one or two more, and they have an admonishing tone.
"Isn't this okay?"
Chen Xuan began to doubt the ability of God's will.
But in detail, his request this time is indeed quite outrageous.
The previous dual top talents were only for individuals.
But this time he directly asked to master the rules, and it was the rules of time and space that were relatively high in rank.
I failed to get the results I wanted twice in a row.
Chen Xuan simply filled in this paragraph on the blank contract:
"Please list the time or space abilities I can redeem."
Since the divine contract can complete simple interactions, he might as well take the initiative to ask questions.
The fact is that as Chen Xuan guessed, the divine contract is still very flexible.
A new prompt will appear.
[Time travels slowly: 3 times]
[Space transfer: 3 times]
…
This time, the will of God directly provided him with two options.
And these two options seemed to be all he could redeem.
It's actually limited.
He tried a thought to see if he could gain [insight] here.
Soon I saw some relevant supplementary information behind these two options.
[Time Slow Walk: Centered on itself, create a field of time stagnation within a radius of 10 meters, slowing down the time flow in the field by 1200 times. The external time is normal. A single activation can maintain up to the external time. 1 water clock hour]
[Space transfer: Space transfer can be carried out within a distance scale of 10,000 kilometers, but it cannot penetrate physical matter. This space transfer can break through any barrier except dimensional barriers]
…
Chen Xuan quickly scanned the information prompts fed back by [Insight] and had a good idea of these two abilities.
The former can be understood as a small-scale "spiritual time room", creating a field where time passes extremely slowly. One minute outside is 1,200 minutes inside the field.
This ability is not heaven-defying, after all, its scope of influence is clearly limited.
It won't affect the entire world with one use like rule-based abilities.
And it has many uses.
All time-consuming things can be done in the field of [Time Slow Walk].
Such as magic practice, magic skills understanding, item forging and production, etc.
But Chen Xuan is not sure whether he can practice magic and spiritual meditation in it.
After all, the magic element reserves within the area are fixed.
From an internal perspective, time slows down.
But looking from the outside, every movement of the people inside is accelerating.
If Chen Xuan continuously runs for 1,200 water clock hours in the realm of [Slow Time Walking], only one water clock hour has passed to the outside world.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is equivalent to Chen Xuan running at a speed of 1,200 times in one water hour.
Any small movement, the gain multiplied by time will cause an exaggerated effect.
Analyzing from this aspect, [Time Slowly Walks] still has great potential!
It can give Chen Xuan 1,200 times more time. It is not an immortality species, but it is better than an immortality species.
Originally, studying magic crystals and learning magic skills are quite time-consuming. With [Time Slows Down], he can go to the Magic Association and directly finish all the magic books in the association!
And these are only used in auxiliary abilities. If they are used in battle.
Especially when he is besieged by a large group of enemies, then he suddenly releases [Time Slows Down], which is equivalent to invisible gaining 1200 times of buffer time, and the actions of the enemies outside will be slowed down and lengthened accordingly.
As long as he masters the means of long-range attack, he can attack the slowed-down targets outside the field at will within the field. For people outside the field, it is equivalent to increasing the attack speed by 1200 times!
In short, there are too many places where the disorder of time sequence can be used.
As for the second ability of [Space Transfer], it is relatively useless.
Its energy level is not low, and it should be able to break through the black light shield brought down by the magic disaster.
However, after Chen Xuan merged with the rose phantom of Ahn'Qiraj, he also gained the displacement ability that can break through the shackles.
So after thinking about it, he decided to exchange [Time Slow].
After all, he had no other choice.
First, take this ability, and then he can slowly consider the remaining opportunity of the divine contract.
As his strength grows, the upper limit of the divine contract conditions he can propose will continue to rise.
Weak chickens can't get anything good!
After making a decision in his heart, he no longer hesitated and chose to exchange [Time Slow].
A new prompt emerged.
…
[You are enough to pay the contract requirements]
[The details are as follows]
[Time Slow can be activated for a lifetime: 3]
[Payment price: all potential, eternally dedicated soul, all slaves who have signed contracts]
[So, are you willing to sign a contract? ]
…
In this exchange condition, all his slaves who have signed contracts were also involved, but his life was not taken. After all, if his life was taken away, this kind of ability exchange by number would not be reflected.
It seems that slaves are also an equivalent that can be used to exchange with divine contracts.
Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan chose to sign.
[Contract Completed]
…
The contract in the light ball shone with brilliance, and Chen Xuan left a soul imprint.
The contract was completed.
Chen Xuan's mind immediately returned to reality.
When he retracted his palm that was close to the pillar, a look of realization appeared on his face.
The long-lost sense of soul restriction appeared, and at the same time, a time mark appeared on his chest!
As long as the mind communicates with this mark, [Time Slow Walk] can be activated anytime and anywhere.
Not daring to delay too long, Chen Xuan flashed away from the Temple of Wishes.
Anyway, the ability to move in space is only rare, but not shocking.
This time, his slave was staked on the contract, which means that the original master-servant relationship has shifted.
So he must immediately [cross the boundary] and modify the contract to reverse the cost!
Otherwise, if he delays too long, there may be trouble.
After arriving at a hidden corner, Chen Xuan activated [Cross the boundary].
…
The reference system of time slow walk is different.
For the effective range, it means slowing down.
But outside the area, it is accelerated, which is equivalent to doing 1200 seconds of action in 1 second. This should not be difficult to understand, right?
So different reference frames have different statements, but it is absolutely okay to call it time moving slowly
