Chapter 382: A Future Without Me (10)
As he fell from the clock room of the seventh floor, he vaguely sensed that the time in the outside world had accelerated. There was no doubt about it—the Heavenly Venerable had tried to send him into the future.The fortunate part was that, just like with forced regression, he could still halt the flow of time. The frustrating part was that no matter how much he resisted, he couldn’t completely avoid the effect. He had only been exposed to Heavenly Venerable’s time acceleration for about ten seconds, but during those ten seconds, he had been sent into the future. How far into the future, he had no idea.

“At least I arrived at the right place.”
The eighth floor was the Forest of Souls. As its name suggested, it was filled with trees, but it was far from a calming forest. Every single tree was spaced at perfectly identical intervals. Strange, fruit-like things hung from the branches, but they were blurred and indistinct. Even when he tried to focus, he couldn’t make them out. They looked like pale wisps of smoke.

As he began walking, something like dust fell from above and touched his nose. Looking up, he saw a crack.
“Hmm. That’s not good.”
