Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Bottomless Abyss?

Su Ziyu curiously observed the surroundings, then activated the scanning ability of the Space-Time Monitor System, beginning to read the information of this plane.

"Bottomless Abyss, Layer 344."

"Dominator: None."

"Attributes: Limited space, enhanced gravity, Land of Flames."

The information belonging to this plane was quickly read by Su Ziyu. This was an ability he gained after further integrating his own divinity with the system, allowing him to directly acquire the residual consciousness of the current plane. The strongest state is the [All-Knowing and All-Powerful] buff under the blessing of the Divine Format. Of course, this all-knowing and all-powerful is limited to the information of a certain plane world; it cannot be deciphered beyond the boundaries of time.

"In fact, there's no need for a Spiritualist like you to rely too much on the power of the system," Lord Stephen said with a gentle lift of his hand, and the two figures floated into the air, saying, "Spiritual Energy is the energy with the most variability. Idealistic extraordinaries are the easiest to burst out unimaginable potential."

"You must remember that the system is always just a tool for you."

"It can only help you access the domain of the Divine Spirit, but it cannot make you surpass it."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu couldn't help but ponder, indeed realizing that after advancing to demigod, the system's enhancement for him wasn't as significant as before.

"Comprehend the Law."

"Master the Domain." With a slight lift of his hand, Lord Stephen had them appear directly above a palace constructed of blood in the white light of teleportation, whispering, "The system provides limited power, but infinite power originates from the Root Source Law from which they were born."

"Young man, you must understand this."

Domain and Law?

After thinking for a moment, Su Ziyu softly asked, "Respected Lord Stephen, how should one master the power of Domains and Laws?"

"They are too profound."

Lord Stephen laughed lightly at this, reminiscing, "In fact, there is a simple method to master them."

"What method?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.

Lord Stephen gestured for him to watch the demon battle below, continuing, "In the Eastern Realm, there's a saying called 'Prove the Dao,' which is actually a way to master Laws and Domains."

"You are a traveler of time-space."

"You will certainly experience many worlds, and these worlds have their own Laws, and what you need to do is find your own Law, that is, your path of proving the Dao."

"Whether it is order or power."

"You can help people rebuild civilization and plan for the future, or secretly manipulate the authority of the entire world."

"The path of proving the Dao is the necessary path to discover your true self."

"When you walk your path on earth, the power of Domains and Laws is already in your heart."

Seeing Su Ziyu's look of confusion yet seeming understanding, Lord Stephen couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Look at these demons below, they are on a journey to find their own path."

"Demons are chaotic, evil."

"So the first domain ability they master when they become powerful is Evil Spiritual Light, which is not an innate ability but one they gain by following their evil nature."

The demons were fighting each other outside the palace, as blood flowed like rivers. Since Su Ziyu had once accepted a commission from the Death God, he was quite familiar with these demons. It seemed to be two demon leaders vying for control of this place.

"They are trying to defeat each other to become the new Demon Lord." Lord Stephen smiled and said, "This is the first step to mastering the power of the Law."

"They must first become a Demon Lord to access the Laws of this plane."

"Look."

"That is a Balrog Flame Demon Leader. If it successfully advances, the first Domain it will master should be [Flame], then it needs to control other demons, so the second Domain should be dominating demons. But dominating demons is not a powerful Domain, it must use this to glimpse the domain of domination. If successful, it will gain many demon followers, but to move forward, it must defeat other Demon Lords and lay claim to more Domains and Laws."

"This is a very difficult path."

"Because before advancing to Demon Prince, it must face many long-famous Demon Lords. Many newly appointed Demon Lords become prey in the eyes of others. So some of them will look for alternative paths, open a portal to the other dimension, enter the Flame Elemental Plane, and hunt powerful flame life forms to acquire Flame Divinity, thereby mastering a portion of the [Flame] Law."

"But elemental life forms have long been hostile to demons, many Demon Lords fall on the path to advancing to demigod."

At this, Lord Stephen turned to look at Su Ziyu, smiling, "You should have noticed."

"All Space-Time Guardians have a world of their own."

"Divine Spirits have their own Divine Kingdom."

"In various myths, the most powerful beings almost invariably possess their own realms."

"So as a traveler of space and time, where is your realm?"

"Mastery of the domain is just the beginning."

"When you elevate the power of your domain to become some sort of law and walk your own path within your realm, you have truly entered the field of the divine spirit."

"Regarding how to surpass the divine spirit."

"At that time, you can visit Master Void, he understands these things better than I do."

Master Void, huh?

That seemingly unimpressive white-robed martial monk is indeed as powerful as I suspected.

"Let's go." Lord Stephen glanced and lost interest in the battle below, then said: "The 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss. With your ability, you should be able to lock onto its space beacon."

Su Ziyu tried to open his mind, deploying the power of the Hourglass of Time, and soon he captured a large number of spatial nodes, these spatial nodes forming a dense network, with a central force of immense power, spanning all spaces, piercing through the north, south, east, west, the energy so vast it's somewhat unimaginable.

"That is the Nether River." Lord Stephen smiled: "One of Soron's Root Source Laws."

"He has run the Nether River through the entire Crystal Wall Element, from Heavenly Mountain above to the Bottomless Abyss below, tributaries of the Nether River flow on all planes, some even extend into other Crystal Wall Elements."

"As a time-space traveler, you can completely escape the space constraints of the Nether River."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu reactivated the Space-Time Monitor System, while also mobilizing the divine power within him for assistance. His divine format is not as strong as other true gods, capable of processing prayers from millions of followers, monitoring the entire divine realm, but after being enhanced by the divine format, the computational ability of the Space-Time Monitor System experienced an extremely terrifying improvement.

Su Ziyu's pupils gradually transformed into a mass of white light, then millions of spatial nodes were calculated and marked, these spatial nodes forming a massive topographical map.

It was a gigantic inverted pyramid.

"Very well."

"This is the Bottomless Abyss, with 666 layers observable entirely, but in fact, at the deepest part, there are still many narrow and dangerous planes." Lord Stephen's eyes showed a glimmer of silver light, like a pair of Rune Eyes, as if he saw everything Su Ziyu observed, he said: "The topmost layer is the Plain of All Abyss, we aim to go to the 422nd layer, the former territory of Yeenoghu, King of Jackal Wolfman."

Su Ziyu softly said: "Found it."

"Then let's go." Lord Stephen couldn't help but smile and said: "You should use the power of your mind more, Spiritual Energy is ever-changing, destruction is just one of its most inconspicuous abilities."

"I will find for you the legacy of the Ancient Gods Era, the Empire of Mind Flayers."

"But before that, you must first find your own Root Source Law."

Saying that, Lord Stephen slowed down and said: "One of Soron's Root Source Laws is [Order] and [Death], and one of my Root Source Laws is [Arcane Magic]."

"To master the root of [Death], Soron fought from the Bottomless Abyss all the way up to Heavenly Mountain."

"Similarly, I aimed to master the root power of Arcane Magic."

"I was once sealed and exiled by the Supreme Arcane Council, drifting for many years in space-time turbulence. During this time, I experienced many setbacks and encountered numerous enemies so powerful they were nearly impossible to defeat, until I refined the entire Crescent Moon planet into a space-time fortress, completely mastering the power of [Elemental Fusion], merging three Arcane Wonders with the entire planet's Maze Lock Matrix, thereby holding the highest authority of Arcane Magic."

"Of course."

"In your Space-Time Inspector system, it should be manifested as a title called [Arcane Emperor]."

During the conversation between the two, Su Ziyu directly teleported with Lord Stephen to the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss.

The opponent could see through the system on him, Su Ziyu was not surprised at all, because Lord Stephen himself was a person who could create Tower Spirit Assistance Terminal systems, he could see through the Space-Time Monitor System on Su Ziyu, probably as simple as cracking the personal assistance terminal on the interstellar armor in the previous plane, the system called Black Shell, an evolution of assistance systems on the technology side.

"The climate here seems a bit unusual." Su Ziyu said.

Lord Stephen nodded and replied: "Storm Lord."

"The second generation of the Obelis demon—Bachard. He fell from the betrayal of the third-generation Tanar'ri demons, died at the hands of their former slaves, just as they once betrayed the primordial demons who created them."

"Betrayal is the nature of demons."

"Obelis demons possess extremely tenacious life force, even long after their death, their massive corpses cause death retrospect on this plane, the dispersing energy affects the climate here. Many demon lords have attempted to seize the Storm Domain left on the corpse, but Bachard is an extremely special Obelis demon, his death is not complete, so those demons all failed."

"At most they can contact a part of Bachard's vast consciousness here through mind sensing, listening to stories from the ancient era, before the Tanar'ri demons were born, before the Obelis demons came from other worlds to the Bottomless Abyss."

"What you need to do now."

"Is to enter his death consciousness, if possible, take his [Storm] domain."
