Chapter 70: Begin Crafting Arrays... Consecutive Failures
After calming his mind, Kranos opened the book titled "Fundamentals of Arrays and Formations." He read about the author, Alphonse, who was said to have quickly risen to prominence after studying the art of arrays for a thousand years.
Although it might seem like a long time, the truly fascinating thing about him was that, immediately after his thousand-year seclusion, he made a teleportation array and vanished from the world. Many said he had created a bridge to the Divine World; some said he had gone to another new realm entirely, but the truth of what happened was still unknown.
Fascinated by this, Kranos had immediately purchased the book. Without hesitation, he plunged himself into reading. From the detailed description, Kranos understood that the writer, Alphonse, was no ordinary man.
After absorbing the information, Kranos felt his knowledge of formations deepen significantly. However, as he reached the last page of the book, just as he was about to close it, the last line of words caught his attention:
"An array can be engraved onto everything, and everything can be used as a formation." It was written in a different script from the rest of the book. Kranos guessed it must have been Alphonse’s passing thought, but he couldn’t help but ponder it deeply.
He recalled what was said about Alphonse and immediately had a faint guess: that the moment the man had an epiphany regarding these words, he was able to use the immortal as a formation and head to the Divine World without following the normal path of cultivation.
He couldn’t help but ponder the words deeply. If an array can be engraved onto everything, doesn’t this mean arrays can be engraved onto one’s body? However, based on the functions of arrays, that would be of no use. In that case, how about coming up with a new set of arrays—ones that apply to time?
"I can use it as a supplementary rune to maybe rewind time to before the array was used and make the array able to attack twice or maybe more with a time loop!" At this moment, Kranos finally recalled another time-related ability from his past life: if he could use a time loop on an array, wouldn’t it last forever?
