From the power of space to the heavens 2

Chapter 1145. I am the Lord of Time
Maybe the operation is indeed a bit tricky.

But Lu Yuan has always adhered to the same principle.

Never mind whether the cat is black or white.

A good cat is one that catches mice.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the operation is fancy or not, what matters is that the result is good.

That's it.

However, when Lu Yuan actually set foot in the Heavenly Palace.

To be precise, when I stood at the exit of the teleportation array in the outer city area of ​​the Heavenly Palace, I was inevitably shocked by the prosperous scene of the Heavenly Palace.

The hustle and bustle of traffic is not enough to describe it.

After all, this can only be called the basics of the basics.

For most of the Nine Emperors, if there is no hustle and bustle in the territories they govern, it would be considered a failure. In other words, hustle and bustle can only mean that the number of people has reached the passing standard, but as for true prosperity, it cannot be seen from the surface.

For example, the Temple of War God.

When Lu Yuan evacuated from the Temple of War God before.

What you see is the bustling scene of traffic.

of course.

The difference is that now in the bustling scene in the outer city area of ​​the Heavenly Palace, most of the people are smiling and seem to be in a good mood, and the overall situation presents a positive style. However, during his evacuation from the Temple of War God, in a similar scene, most people showed panic, panic about being powerless to stop the natural disaster.

However, speaking of this, we have to mention the situation on both sides.

The layout of the heavenly palace has been mentioned before.

Equivalent to a circle.

Draw a solid circle in the middle, this is the heavenly palace.

Outside this solid circle, draw another ring of a different color.

This is the inner city.

Then there are the outer city areas.

Strictly speaking, the outer city area is not ring-shaped, and the inner city area and the palace city are not a standard ring or circle either. However, looking down from an altitude of 10,000 meters, the name of a ring is not wrong, and it is even quite appropriate. It's a matter of perspective.

Let me put it more intuitively.

It's just a circle wrapped around another circle.

But the Temple of War is different.

The Temple of the God of War is equivalent to drawing a circle in the middle, but relying on the partial arc of the circle in the middle, several irregular circles are drawn around it. In other words, just like petals and the center of the flower, all the petals grow around the center of the flower. The main hall of the Temple of the God of War is this center of the flower, and the remaining four petals are divided into east, west, south, and north, and are managed by the four hall masters. This is one of the reasons why the Nine Tribulations War Emperor can provide quick support.

Each layout has corresponding advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of Tiangong’s layout is its comprehensiveness.

It is almost impossible to cross the outer city and inner city and directly attack the Tiangong.

But the disadvantage is that the defensive forces are terribly dispersed.

It’s a good thing that Tianluo Continent is one of the top ten supercontinents.

The population base is large and there are many practitioners.

In addition, the Emperor of Heaven also has the magical power of transforming one breath into three pure ones.

If there is an invasion from foreign enemies.

The outer city and the inner city can at least buy him some time to split himself.

Otherwise, a circular defense with no blind spots like this.

The power of the Tiangong sect is simply not enough to support it.

There are not enough people.

It's useless to say anything.

The petal-shaped layout of the Temple of War is a layout between the star-shaped layout and the ring-shaped layout. On the basis of maintaining the defense system, it minimizes the demand for manpower expenditure. Although it cannot achieve all-round defense, no matter which angle the enemy comes from, it can give the Nine Tribulations War Emperor a certain amount of preparation time. After all, although the defense zones in the four directions cannot jointly defend the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest directions, it is still possible to do some basic vigilance. Moreover, this kind of vigilance does not need to be rolled out over a large area. At most, only a few linear blockade lines need to be drawn.

As for the star-shaped layout.

It is to transform all the surrounding areas into points.

Smaller cities were built one after another.

Rely on numbers to provide vigilance.

of course.

This smaller scale is also called a smaller scale.

In fact, any city that can be built is no less than the imperial city of the Gama Empire. The total area of ​​some larger cities is even no less than that of the Sifang Pavilion. The mayors of these cities are usually directly appointed by the higher forces, or they are deacons and elders of the sect, or some mobile disciples.

Generally speaking, deacons and elders serve longer periods of time.

But they basically come with a mission.

Most of them will be sent to important cities to take charge.

Responsible for transportation route issues.

Responsible for the output quota of resources.

Responsible for the coordination aspects of defence.

As for the disciples with higher mobility, they basically stay in a place for three to five years and then leave. They come only for the merit points of the mission. The people's livelihood below has nothing to do with them. As long as they don't lose the city, there is nothing wrong with it in theory even if the city is empty.

Therefore, it is impossible for some local big families to hold on to power.

They even said that they would pray that the new city lord would not resort to the murder.

After all, no one minds making a killing before leaving.

Whatever you can get.

Even if they are resources that you don’t need.

You can also sell it after returning to your faction and exchange it for the required resources.

So, in this case.

Another system gradually developed.

That is, the local big families generally have disciples in the higher forces, or have backers above them, and are connected to a deacon or elder. Otherwise, they will inevitably be plundered by these highly mobile disciples in the capacity of city lords when they leave, or even their families may be destroyed. This is all possible.

The main example of this type is the Heart Demon Thunder Palace.

Although the Heart Demon Thunder Palace has only one entrance and exit.

That is the small city below the space channel.

But this does not mean that the Heart Demon Thunder Palace has lost control over other places on this continent, nor does it mean that the Heart Demon Thunder Palace is truly free of desires.

Around the small city below the Heart Demon Thunder Palace.

Strictly speaking.

It should be around the Eternal Night City.

After all, as one of the entrances connecting the Heart Demon Thunder Palace to the outside world, and the only entrance that is open to the public, this small city naturally cannot be without a name. Eternal Night is the name of this small city. Moreover, although it is a small city, compared with other cities, this small city is no less than Danta in terms of area or quality, and its strength is even stronger than the average strength of Danta.

But compared with the inner city area of ​​Tiangong.

Compared with one of the four halls of the Temple of War, it is still far behind.

In the vast world, it can only be called a small town.

Therefore, next to the Eternal Night City, which is neither big nor big, there are many cities built in a scattered pattern.

Each city is guarded by one or more disciples of the Heart Demon Thunder Palace, or deacons or elders, who control the continent.

The rest are all changes without changing.

So, let’s summarize some.

in this era.

There are three mainstream defense systems.

The first one is no blind spots.

The second type is the loose sand state.

The third type is the balance group.

The Heavenly Palace is the first type, and the Temple of the God of War is the third type.

The Heart Demon Thunder Palace is the second type.

Compared with the almost stereotyped defense systems hundreds of thousands of years later, this era is truly a time of flourishing of all kinds of ideas. In many aspects, even an insignificant problem will give rise to multiple ideas.

A hundred schools of thought and Confucianism.

This is the best description of these two eras.

of course.

For Lu Yuan.

It makes no difference whether there is a pattern or not.

The meaning of the existence of pattern.

In other words, the value of defensive strategic layout.

It is more about providing geographical advantages so that the practitioners in this environment can better exert their strength. Once the war starts, they can quickly bring the battle into their own rhythm. For example, the Nine Tribulations War Emperor of the Temple of War God has the strongest attack in the world. He only needs to lock down a few areas and defend these key areas. The rest is to use magical powers to solve the opponent point by point, which is not difficult. For the Emperor of Heaven, the ring-shaped defense posture can buy him more time and opportunities. For a Saint-quality Heavenly Supreme who is good at using human wave tactics, the best way is to fight quickly to avoid falling into a protracted war. The Heart Demon Thunder Emperor is even more He is good at guerrilla warfare, and the layout of scattered sand is more suitable for him to disrupt the enemy with chaos. He has enough room for operation to seduce the enemies scattered in various places, and then form a counter-encirclement situation. Although, in theory, the enemy can also gather all its forces, like a steel knife, to tear open the defense line of the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor and not give the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor a chance to seduce him, but it is only a temporary tearing of the defense line, and the final result is still being surrounded. It's like quicksand. Even if you cut it with a knife, it seems that you have cut through the quicksand, but in fact, as long as you don't break the vortex trajectory of the quicksand, the knife will sooner or later fall into the endlessly rotating quicksand.

But Lu Yuan didn't come to the Heavenly Palace to cause trouble.

He means no harm.

On the contrary, there is more kindness.

Although there is demand, it is not particularly important.

The payment will be quite a bit, but not too much.

For example, he came here to discuss the Dao with the Emperor of Heaven and obtain an identity by the way to complete the cycle. Just like the interesting stories that the Emperor of Heaven told hundreds of thousands of years later, he also had to try his best to complete them.

Avoid breaking this cycle.

This may cause some unknown changes.

For another example, he had to leave a piece of mortal thread for the Emperor of Heaven to save his life. Living in this era, every move he made could have a profound impact on future generations, so he had to be cautious. Even some of the people related to him also needed careful consideration. It was indeed quite difficult to ensure that these people would not deviate from their original trajectory under unknown circumstances.

Otherwise, the chain reaction would be unreasonable.

Assuming he has no trace of worldly love.

This resulted in the death of the Emperor of Heaven just like in the original novel.

In other words, he was defeated by the Nine Corpses Demon Emperor.

Who knows whether he can obtain the supreme magical power of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones from the Emperor of Heaven hundreds of thousands of years later and use it to defeat the War Emperor of the West?

If he can't defeat the Western Heaven War Emperor.

The problems of the Luoshen tribe will never be solved.

It could even be said that it would make it easier for the Blood God Clan, this scourge, to bear a grudge against him.

Although, from a global perspective.

He cannot defeat the War Emperor of the West, and he will not be condemned by the other supreme beings in the universe. However, will the subsequent chain reaction drag the Endless Fire Domain into the quagmire, will the Maha Ancient Clan take action, and what role will the Futu Ancient Clan and other ancient clans play in the middle? It can be said that everything will change completely.

It has changed so much that not even the slightest trace of the old appearance can be found.

Or even more extreme.

He went to war.

Rescued the Emperor of Heaven.

Moreover, it is not the kind of rescue method that would ruin the body.

But it truly guarantees the fighting power of the Emperor of Heaven.

Perhaps it will directly affect the outcome of the war between the Great Thousand Worlds and the extraterritorial evil gods. After all, theoretically, the Immortal Emperor can use the blood sacrifice technique to sacrifice the Heavenly Emperor's clone. The death of tens of thousands of holy Heavenly Supremes is definitely enough for the Immortal Emperor, a half-step master, to suppress the Heavenly Evil God, an invader who is also a half-step master, without dying himself.

The world will not become what it will be like hundreds of thousands of years later, with half of its territory lost and even one-tenth of its high-end combat power remaining.

Take a step back and say that.

Even if the Immortal Emperor didn't win.

The solution was the same as planned.

Sacrifice yourself to seal the evil god.

Then, relying on the Heavenly Emperor's magical power of Transforming Three Pure Ones into One Qi, the number of Heavenly Supremes in the Great Thousand World can be more than doubled, and all of them are Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes. Even if the individual combat power of these Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes is not strong, and is similar to that of normal Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes, if the Nine Tribulations War Emperor is serious, he can kill one with one halberd. But even the weakest Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme is stronger than Immortal-grade Heavenly Supreme and Spirit-grade Heavenly Supreme. What's more, although the Heavenly Emperor himself is not the strongest among the Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes, he is also among the top batch. Without using the magical power of Transforming Three Pure Ones into One Qi, he can fight against three ordinary Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes alone without being at a disadvantage. Fighting against two at one and killing them all is not uncommon in the Heavenly Emperor's career. With more than double the number of Saint-grade Heavenly Supremes, it is completely possible to kill or injure the extraterritorial evil gods, or even completely wipe out their clan.

This is where the problem lies.

Many things seem irreversible.

All it takes is a gentle push from a special node.

A completely different result can be achieved.

In addition, if the war was really won, the structure of the universe would not become what it would be like hundreds of thousands of years later, but would continue the pattern of warlords fighting for supremacy. Those Dou Di who ascended from the Dou Qi Continent, that is, the ancestors of the eight ancient clans, might be able to make a name for themselves in the universe. The eight ancient clans might also take off directly, and even indirectly lead to Xiao Yan's birth. For example, he might no longer be the young master of the Xiao family in Wutan City, but the young patriarch of the Xiao clan, which would in turn affect other people.

However, then again.

Although he did not want any unknown changes to occur hundreds of thousands of years later, Lu Yuan did think about trying to fluctuate the timeline and change fate. For example, prematurely killing Lu Heng, the Emperor's mount, who betrayed the Emperor, might indirectly change the Emperor's fate. His mastery and even comprehension of the power of time and destiny might be able to reach a higher level.

Of course.

The above are all assumptions.

Although the idea is more important.

But seeking truth from facts is undoubtedly more important.

The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

"For now, let's go visit Master Tiandi."

"As for the name..."

"Just call him the Lord of Time!"

"That's what Mandala said back then."

"Master Tiandi also admitted it."

Looking at the magnificent palace in the distance, Lu Yuan walked inside calmly.
