Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1017 [Abelio Horizon Records: The White Light Chasing the Sun]

A fierce wind raged, and the comet, formed from the spheres of day and night, streaked across the sky with a fiery tail, as if time itself in Abelio had been drastically fast-forwarded.

On the streets, the wood on the eaves rotted and fell off rapidly, and even the distant mountains were weathered and eroded in an instant, piling up again into layers of cliffs.

However, amidst this out-of-control, accelerating wave, Xia Xiu and Lupercal seemed to be standing inside a piece of transparent amber.

Xia Xiu closed his eyes, and the roaring sound of the world around him seemed to be stretched out, turning into countless broken strings.

The [time slot] inside his body slowly opened, as if separating himself from the "flow rate" of the outside world.

—Everything outside was collapsing rapidly, but the ground beneath his and Lupercal's feet remained intact, and the air continued to flow evenly.

"Keep your mind calm," Xia Xiu whispered.

His voice was eerily calm within this barrier, like a drop of water falling into a lake, the ripples instantly smoothing out the surrounding chaos.

Lupercal had instinctively held his breath, but as his father's voice fell, he suddenly realized that his heartbeat had not quickened; the rhythm in his chest was still the familiar "thump, thump, thump."

The surrounding gale seemed to have become a play, and he and his father were just sitting in the audience, watching the torrent of time rushing across the stage.

Xia Xiu opened his eyes, and a sliver of white light ignited deep within his golden pupils.

"This day-night sphere is really troublesome..."

He murmured to himself, and gently raised his left hand, as if covering Lupercal's presence with the protection of his sense of time.

While the outside world accelerates a thousandfold, their time remains as stable as ever.

After stabilizing his [time gauge], Xia Xiu looked up at the maddening day-night sphere in the sky and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

"Using time to buy space... The Fifth Truth wants to spread the civilization virus by accelerating it..." He narrowed his eyes, looked up at the out-of-control day-night sphere, and a rare look of solemnity appeared on his face.

Above Far East City, the mad rotation of the day-night sphere was like a doomsday pendulum, tearing apart the entire timeline of Abelio. Everything was crying out in the accelerating collapse; streets cracked, rocks crumbled, and mortal lifespans were compressed into terrifying moments.

"We must stop the day-night sphere from accelerating any further!"

Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed, and the lever of heaven spun violently in his palm, buzzing like thunder.

With a swing of his arm, Unit 1 and Unit 2 roared simultaneously, their giant horns piercing the void and tearing apart the textures of time.

【Bull of the Sky - Unit 1: Gravitational Collapse -】

【Bull of the Sky - Unit 2: Gravity Traction——】

The gravitational fields released by the two divine bulls acted like double chains, firmly fixing the day and night sphere around them and slowing down the nearly out-of-control rotation.

Then Xia Xiu raised the lever high, and the runes on the lever's power suddenly burned. He forcibly pried open the element of time, as if he were prying open a reef beneath a raging storm.

The silver staff extended continuously on the Lord of the Courtyard, drawing a huge circle across the ground.

[The Leverage of Heaven: The Power of Time!!!]

He used the Far East City as the center and forcibly created a spatial domain of time.

Within this airspace, the flow of time for the residents finally slowed down, and the sounds of panting and crying returned to a frequency that could be heard by the human ear, as if they had been pulled out of the iron pot of death.

Moreover, this time and space domain is open to the entire Abelio region.

However, as the core city, the flow rate is slower, while the further away from the airspace the area is, the faster the acceleration.

These were the only emergency measures Xia Xiu could take at the moment, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

"Not enough," he murmured.

boom--!
Thirty-six pairs of light particle wings suddenly unfurled behind him, like thirty-six torrents bursting forth, their brilliance illuminating the already gloomy sky.

His wings fluttered, ripples spread through the void, and his figure suddenly transformed into a white streak of light, rising into the air.

His speed almost defied human perception, like a holy comet piercing the world, chasing after the sphere of day and night.

The city's residents stared blankly upwards. Having just recovered from the accelerated nightmare, they could only see the white-haired figure transform into celestial light, carrying wings of light, and rushing straight up against the maddening day-night sphere.

In that instant, an unreal illusion ignited in the despair: the gods were chasing the out-of-control sun.

……

……

The day and night sphere, trailing crimson markings, raced across the sky like a giant clock bearing with misaligned gears, its rotation still accelerating.

Xia Xiu raised his staff and charged forward, unfurling all thirty-six pairs of light wings. The feathers scattered into countless streams of light, creating a long river of light behind him.

The long river interlocks with the temporal vortex on the outer edge of the day-night sphere, spilling out fragments of time like sparks flying everywhere.

Xia Xiu opened all thirty-six pairs of light wings, the light blades whipping the air in a chain reaction, creating a fiery white tail.

As the thirty-six-winged angel accelerated, it continuously threw out "∞" symbols from behind its wings.

The Möbius strips are like silver markers pinned to the track ahead. With a tap of his toes, he "steps on the ring to switch positions," turning the straight-line chase into a continuous, instantaneous "jump-grid chase."

With the day and night sphere in front, the red light shell rotates rapidly, and the outer ring of markings forms a band of light like a fire ring.

Xia Xiu's vision was compressed by the high speed: the nearby clouds were torn into strips, the mountain ridges receded from his feet like a row of saw teeth, and the city walls, river channels, and wind towers were stretched into lines and left behind in the blink of an eye.

The void reverberated, and the tug-of-war of speed was so intense it was almost unbearable.

Xia Xiu's muscles were tense, his thirty-six pairs of light wings vibrated wildly, leaving a white galaxy trail in their wake. He stared intently at the wildly spinning day and night sphere in front of him.

Damn, that BYD day/night ball in front of us is incredibly fast!
Racing against the "sun" was a scene he had never experienced before in all his years of life.

The trajectory of the day and night ball ahead was completely illogical, rushing straight ahead, drifting, and accelerating. Each tail-swing was as if some invisible giant hand was manipulating it, treating it as a super-fast ball and violently swinging it around.

"Three hundred meters to go." Xia Xiu's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the ring of burning red light.

But this "three hundred meters" is not a real distance, but a relative quantity.

He chased, it jumped; the two remained in a constant state of relative opposition.

The speed difference varies greatly, and the distance is like being tied by a rubber band, sometimes far and sometimes near, making it impossible to smooth it out directly.

And this BYD can even drift!

Every time the day and night sphere rotates to an inflection point, it forcefully throws itself into a sideways arc, like drifting and tailing on a cosmic track, leaving behind a trail of temporal turbulence, forcing Xia Xiu to drift along with it.

"Behave yourself!" he growled, lowering his shoulders and suddenly retracting his light wings into a scissor shape, pressing the windward side to its limit to forcefully keep up with the drift angle of the day and night sphere.

The next instant, a glint of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Vasak, stop time!!!"

"Buzz——"

The void fell silent for a moment.

The gale, the light, and the rotation of the day and night sphere all froze at this moment.

The red shell cast distorted afterimages in the field of vision, like a fast-moving film being abruptly paused, the air currents freezing into cold, etched lines.

Xia Xiu's movements did not stop. His wings suddenly spread open, and the light particles swirled into a long white river. His entire body cut into the gap where time stood still with an incredible trajectory.

Because the entire accelerating rotating sphere needs to be stopped, the time stop only lasts for a short 0.1 seconds, but this 0.1 seconds is enough to smooth out the distance created by the sun's drift.

That mere 0.1 seconds was enough for him to pull the rubber band back.

As time resumed its flow, the void exploded with a deafening roar, and the red sphere of light roared and accelerated once more.

This time, however, the distance between Xia Xiu and it had been forcibly reduced to two hundred meters. But two hundred meters was still too far. He needed to get closer and completely grasp this "sun" in his hands. Without hesitation, he unfolded his triple crown.

【Crown Unfolds, World Modulation——】

boom--

The world seemed to instantly transform into a "block world," with elements being moved, stacked, and reorganized like bricks. The underlying logic of the world was reprogrammed at his command.

boom!
The world was reset to its original structure, transformed into a "block world" composed of countless pieces, with rules being moved, stacked, and rewritten like bricks.

Xia Xiu's voice transformed into a command from the bottom level, carrying an irresistible authority, and was frantically inputted.

[Reduced: Day and Night Ball Speed]

[Loss: Core driving force loss rate +35%]

[Binding: Friction parameters of the day and night sphere shell]

[Initiation: Time-Inertia Damping Mechanism]

Each instruction, like a brand, is imprinted onto the trajectory of the day and night sphere.

With each additional instruction, the speed of the day/night sphere was forcibly reduced, and the speeding light wheel showed a noticeable lag.

At the same time, the halo of the triple crown behind Xia Xiu vibrated violently, emitting a hissing heat wave, as if it were about to be burned through.

But he didn't stop.

【The Crown Unfolds, A World Out of Control】

hum-

Order suddenly crumbled, and cracks appeared in the causal chain of the world. The acceleration of the day-night sphere was no longer the only solution, but countless possible branches emerged.

Under Xia Xiu's gaze, countless "fate bugs" appeared in the air, flashing wildly like shattered data entries:

[Runaway parameter modification: Speed ​​cannot be defined]

[Runaway parameter modification: Causal chain broken]

[Out-of-control parameters modified: Day and night ball trajectory reset to zero]

Causality is distorted, and the rotation of the day-night sphere is forcibly injected with "uncertainty." Every ten accelerations may fail once, and every ten trajectory segments may return to zero.

Its potential is partially stripped away, leaving it to struggle forward amidst the "bugs" in the shit-hill code.

【The Crown Unfolds: A World of Frames】

Time suddenly seemed to be split up like a film reel, and the movement of the day and night spheres transformed into frame after frame.

Xia Xiu watched its accelerating trajectory, capturing every rotation, every wind shear, and every ray of light refraction.

He saw the world as a palace being built, loading every second, rendering every step, and it could not be skipped.

Thus, the acceleration of the day/night sphere was forcibly suppressed to a frame-by-frame pace; it wanted to run wildly, but was forced to take heavy steps.

The triple crowns opened simultaneously, and the void roared.

The rules of heaven and earth mesh like gears, and Xia Xiu stands at the axis of creation, overlooking the celestial sphere of day and night.

The distance is shortening.

200 meters - 180 meters - 150 meters - 80 meters!

The intense temporal flow of the day and night sphere was peeled away layer by layer, like a gear that had been forcibly disassembled, while Xia Xiu, with his wings of light trailing a long river, was rushing in.

As Xia Xiu approached the Day and Night Sphere, the three halos of white jade behind him burned so intensely they were almost distorted. Scorching waves surged, like the outer shell of a burning star, hissing as they radiated heat wildly into the void. Cracks even appeared on the surface of the halos, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

But he didn't stop at all.

Xia Xiu gripped the [Lever of Heaven] tightly with both hands and suddenly raised it high above his head!
The white staff made a "crackling" sound as it stretched through the air, like an endless ruler being stretched, its body growing segment by segment until it stretched across the heavens and the earth.

"Stop!!!"

He roared and swung his arms down violently.

boom! ! !
[The Lever of Heaven - Moving with Each Day]

In that instant, the end of the lever seemed to have been inserted into a virtual "fulcrum," while the front end was firmly stuck into the rotational trajectory of the day and night sphere.

The day and night sphere was originally rotating at high speed along an irreversible trajectory, dragging the vortex of time and space, but at this moment, it was held in place by this "heaven-defying bar".

Click click click click click—!!
That was the sound of the cosmic gears being forcibly reversed.

Countless crack-like red lights erupted from the surface of the day and night sphere, the flames resembling a thousand struggling dragons and snakes, frantically rubbing against the lever's shaft.

The rotation and the reverse prying collided head-on in the void, creating a sound wave sharper than the friction of steel, shaking the entire sky of Abelio.

The day-night sphere is like a planet forced to brake, its trajectory trembling constantly, its speed being torn down little by little. Its inertial torrent continues to surge, but the counterforce of the lever is like the hand of death reaching out, pressing down on its throat, not allowing it to escape an inch further.

The halo was burning, the wings were fluttering, Xia Xiu's white robe was billowing, and he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to fight the world with his whole being.

The friction caused by the downward pressure of the lever and the rotation of the day and night spheres transformed into a mournful cry that pierced the sky, like a collision between gods and stars.

—The acceleration of the day and night sphere was finally brought to a screeching halt!
The instant the rotation of the day and night spheres was abruptly reversed and stopped by the [Lever of Heaven], an invisible shock ripped open the entire Abelio.

That wasn't a storm, nor an earthquake, but rather—"aftershocks of time."

boom--!
Invisible ripples spread outwards in concentric circles from the day-night sphere. Far East City was the first to be affected; its residents experienced a sudden darkness before the world returned to normal.

The positive and negative fluctuations are like two streams of water fighting fiercely on the riverbed of time in the world.

Thus, Abelio seemed to enter a strange "timing lag".

The sounds of galloping horses on the street turned into intermittent trails, and the dust kicked up by the horses moved at varying speeds, sometimes even lingering in mid-air before falling back down in a bizarre manner.

Even more absurdly, some people's movements and voices are completely out of sync. Their lips move, but the sound comes out several beats late; someone shouts, but you don't actually hear your own voice until three seconds later.

The peaceful nation's original acceleration has come to a complete halt, but the new chaos is even more unsettling.

Time no longer flows smoothly, but instead creaks and rattles backward and forward like a broken gear, eventually slowing down completely.

Even the clouds in the sky looked strange.

Even though the wind is blowing, the clouds are like a scroll being moved at an extremely slow pace, millimeter by millimeter, as if someone is manually pushing them one by one.

The residents of Far East City looked up in terror and witnessed this bizarre phenomenon. To them, the world had not ended, but this disorienting slowing of time was more unsettling than destruction itself.

The timeline of the entire peaceful kingdom was torn apart and then haphazardly sewn back together with needle and thread, the seams rough and prone to breaking apart again at any moment.

The world has fallen into a strange "slow state".

"Alright, we've found a new bug."

Xia Xiu, who had stopped the rotation of the day-night sphere, couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his mind.

He hovered in the air, his thirty-six wings slightly folded, like a white barrier frozen in the eye of a storm. But in his vision, the entire world had completely changed.

The streets were shattered by the aftershocks of time.

Some people left three or four overlapping afterimages as they ran, like the action captured by a continuous shooting camera, but they could not be combined into one; some people raised their arms to wave, but it was like a delayed illusion, with half of the action stuck in mid-air and the other half dragged out for several seconds before it was completed.

The sounds in the air were also intermittent.

The distant bells had clearly rung, but the lingering sound was split into several segments. The first half was still echoing, while the second half lingered for several heartbeats before ringing out.
