Chapter 439
"Is this the riverbed?" Lin Yuan observed his surroundings. The stronger a being’s essence, the heavier they were within the River of Time, causing them to sink deeper.
Now, Lin Yuan had reached the bottom of the River of Time—the riverbed itself. It was the deepest point, with nowhere further to sink.
"So many lives." Lin Yuan gazed around. The River of Time was filled with countless floating light points, each representing a life. These light points drifted with the currents, vast and innumerable.
Almost none of these light points could revive their consciousness. To be aware of oneself within the River of Time required comprehending the rules of time—a feat typically achievable only at the eleventh rank.
"Some 'small fish,' and a few 'big fish,'" Lin Yuan noted as he stretched and moved within the river. The larger a being’s form, the farther and clearer their vision extended within the River of Time.
For those who had only recently comprehended the rules of time, their vision in the River of Time extended merely a few dozen meters around them, beyond which everything became blurry.
"Let me try swimming upstream." Lin Yuan’s thoughts stirred, and he began moving against the current of the River of Time, heading toward the past.
Upon comprehending the rules of time, beings gained the ability to move upstream. However, most eleventh-rank beings refrained from doing so, as it served little purpose.
Though the rules of time allowed upstream movement, it remained an arduous task for eleventh-rank beings due to the river’s opposing flow.
