Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 992 The Power of Time and Space

"Why are you so strong?"

Orochi asked Lu Bu with a look of resentment.

The Lu Bu he encountered this time was far more powerful than anyone he had ever met before.

Even in the celestial realm of his memories, there was no immortal or god who could compare to Lü Bu.

"It's just that you're too weak!"

Lu Bu glanced at Orochi. Although he had been killed instantly by Lu Bu, Lu Bu knew that Orochi was no ordinary person.

However, it seemed that the opponent's power was being interfered with by something, and he was unable to exert his full strength at all, which is why he was directly knocked down by his full-force attack.

Honestly, if this guy's strength wasn't even remotely acceptable, he wouldn't bother with him.

After all, Orochi gave him an extremely unpleasant feeling.

He didn't know where this dislike came from, but he was certain that this guy was definitely not one of his kind.

"hateful!"

Orochi's face darkened; it was the first time someone had ever told him to his face that he was too weak.

In the somber atmosphere, Lü Bu arrived in Luoyang with Orochi.

"Enemy army, your humble general has fortunately fulfilled his mission!" Lu Bu threw Yuan Luzhi to the ground and clasped his hands in salute to Mu Yi.

"Lord Wen, you've worked hard. Go back and rest now!" Mu Yi waved his hand, signaling Lü Bu to take his leave.

Then he walked up to Orochi.

"I never expected to see you again!"

"You know me?" This time it was Orochi's turn to be surprised.

"My name is Mu Yi. I fought alongside the rebels against the demon god Lu Bu that you controlled!" Mu Yi introduced himself, though he wasn't sure if this Orochi was the same one he knew.

Based on the correlation, the reason why the Ji family was able to summon Orochi must be because of the traces left by the space gate they opened back then; otherwise, the Ji family would not have been able to summon Orochi.

"It's you!" Orochi exclaimed excitedly.

Its defeat stemmed from the attack led by Mu Yi, which gave the resistance forces renewed strength to fight back. Ultimately, they united with the rebel forces from various regions and defeated him with one heart and one mind.

If it weren't for this, how could he have been sealed away, and how could he have been summoned here?

"They succeeded!"

Mu Yi touched the jade seal in his hand with a sigh. This jade seal was made from the Nuwa Stone that Nuwa gave him in that world.

"That's great news!" Mu Yi smiled, looking at Orochi in front of him, and held up two fingers.

"I'm giving you two choices: either work for my Star Han Empire or be annihilated by me!"

"You underestimate me, Orochi!" Orochi roared as he sprang to his feet, ready to attack.

However, two large hands pressed down on Orochi's shoulders almost simultaneously, and the powerful force slammed the struggling Orochi back to the ground.

Orochi turned his head in horror to look at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were pressing down on him. Although these two usually pretended to be generals, they mostly acted as bodyguards.

Orochi's current strength is simply insufficient to budge the two iron towers in the slightest.

"It seems you've made your choice!" Mu Yi shook his head. Orochi made a wrong choice. He was quite interested in Orochi, after all, he was someone who could manipulate time and space.

Unfortunately, Orochi chose to be the enemy, so there's nothing more to say; just kill him and extract his soul.

"You can't kill me, I'll come back again!" Orochi roared in despair.

"Can't kill you?"

Mu Yi revealed a disdainful smile.

"Then let's see if my sword is harder, or your head!"

A long sword shimmering with starlight pierced Orochi's head.

For the first time, Orochi experienced the suffocating feeling of utter death.

It didn't understand why so many mythical figures couldn't kill it and could only choose to seal it away.

Why was it that Mu Yi was able to make it feel the threat of death so casually?

In the final moment when life was severed by starlight, Orochi glimpsed the entirety of the Star Han Empire.

A vast empire completely beyond its comprehension.

This vast empire anchored itself to nail down all its future.

As long as this empire doesn't collapse, it has no chance of being resurrected.

Even years later, when the empire collapses, the possibility of its revival becomes extremely slim.

"No!" Orochi roared out his last words, but it did nothing to shake the empire's determination to suppress him.

Killing Orochi was not a big deal for Mu Yi; it just brought back many memories of his time after he transmigrated.

Various memories churned in my mind, eventually settling into calm.

The past is gone; the present and the future are what truly matter.

"what?"

Just as Mu Yi was about to casually dispose of Orochi's corpse, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from it.

"Spacetime energy?"

Mu Yi stroked his chin. This material was indeed special; it could be used to make something fun.

He extracted the spacetime power from Orochi's corpse and stuffed it into Orochi's scythe.

They found Han Xin and Bai Qi, carrying sickles.

The two had previously researched spacetime abilities, but hadn't made much progress.

The only research result is to use willpower to penetrate space and use space as a barrier for defense.

But this is a positional project, requiring a lot of time to penetrate the space.

It's only useful for defense; otherwise, it has a ton of problems.

So when Mu Yi handed the sickle to the two men, they immediately realized that it was a good medium that could help them create a time-traveling air force.

"This is a rare find! Where did you get it?"

Bai Qi swung the large scythe around a few times, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, and found it unusually easy to use.

"Summoned by the Ji family, let's see if we can use them!"

Mu Yi casually recounted the background of Orochi.

"Is there such a thing?"

Han Xin took the sickle and activated it with some curiosity. He casually drew a portal in mid-air and saw what had happened in the past through the portal.

The story of Xiang Yu burning down the Qin palace.

Watching as Xiang Yu annihilated the numerous evil gods summoned from who-knows-where in the Qin Palace with a single punch, and then set the Qin Palace, which served as the vessel for the ritual, ablaze.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. "I was wondering why Xiang Yu burned down the Qin palace like a madman back then. It seems Qin Ziying made quite a few preparations!" Han Xin casually reached out to close the crack.

It turned out that Xiang Yu seemed to have seen them through a spacetime rift.

Han Xin quickly closed the crack. What a joke! Is this monster really human?
"So that's why the Yin-Yang School is facing a talent shortage. Turns out they were all wiped out back then. What a pity!"

Bai Qi shook his head. In his time, the Yin-Yang School was a prominent school, but it declined drastically after the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of how the Yin-Yang School was being bullied by the other schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the group couldn't help but sigh.

Our ancestors were once wealthy, but unfortunately, the lineage ended.

After chatting for a while, the group steered the conversation back on track.

"What good ideas do you have about the Time Legion?" Mu Yi asked Bai Qi and Han Xin.

"What about attacks and defenses that transcend time?" Han Xin thought for a moment and then asked.

“The consumption is probably too great. It would be better to focus on the restorative aspects of time reversal…” Bai Qi put forward another argument.

"You guys are being too conservative! Think about Guan Yu, the God of War, and then think about Yue Fei, the God of War..."

Mu Yimo stroked his chin, and for a very, very long time, he had been thinking about a question.

If you could summon your past or future self to the present, wouldn't it be possible to fight two against one?

This improvement is significantly greater and more comprehensive than any other method.

"That's even more unreliable. To achieve that level, one needs to be at least a soldier with a strong military spirit!" Han Xin directly rejected Mu Yi's idea.

Reversing time and traveling to the future—these abilities may sound incredible at first glance, but when it comes to practicality, they're all nonsense.

The more sophisticated and high-end something is, the harder it is to reproduce.

On the contrary, the simpler something is, the easier it is to master.

It's like Guan Yu specializing in slashing; now he can cut through everything, tangible and intangible, even the ethereal fate and future, with a single strike.

Bai Qi's idea was to take the Undying Guards as a base, and then add time and space attributes to achieve the effect of truly reversing time and space and becoming immortal.

Han Xin's idea was that his soldiers would strike in the past, and then guide that strike into the present at the right time.

Being able to bring attacks from the past to the present at a fixed time and location is, in a sense, more reliable than Mu Yi's suggestion of summoning the past.

The three people argued and argued, each sticking to their own opinion, building up their own frameworks of talent, and then exchanging accusations against each other about the flaws in their designs.

After all that, Bai Qi has the highest floor. After all, he has a mature foundation built on the Undying Guards and Super Heavy Infantry, which can completely create a group of super soldiers who can recall their injuries at any time.

According to Bai Qi's design, reaching the height of the sky is just around the corner, and once it takes shape, it will be very difficult to kill.

However, similarly, if the upper limit is too low, not dying means there is not enough stimulation. Just like the problem with the super-heavy step, when life and consumption are worthless, there is no longer great terror between life and death.

Without confronting the terror of life and death, one cannot complete the transformation of one's will.

A legion as tall as the sky is indeed very strong, but what Xinghan needs even more is a miracle legion.

Han Xin's design has a lower lower limit than Bai Qi's, but a slightly higher upper limit.

Xinghan has borrowed strength from the past more than once or twice, especially with Zhuge Liang, who directly exploited the past.

Han Xin planned to create an army that would borrow power from the future and then return it to the past, connecting the past and present while minimizing the cost.

Mu Yi's side has the lowest lower limit and the highest upper limit.

If successful, they can pull themselves out of the past to fight for them, and even bring out existing legions from the past.

They are beings from the past, and they do not interfere with the normal operation of spacetime; the power they project is complete.

It's like a phantom soldier, but it's a piece of the past that's been pulled out of the long river of history.

Bai Qi undoubtedly had the highest success rate, followed by Han Xin, with Mu Yi having the worst.

Design talent is easy to acquire, but whether soldiers can be trained is another matter entirely.

The clearer something is, the easier it is to train. The Undying Guards are a good example, with a well-established training system.

They had thoroughly understood and even improved upon what Parthia had left behind, so everything proceeded smoothly and no unexpected events occurred.

However, if Mu Yi were to work on his talent, he couldn't create it out of thin air; he would have to work on the Illusionary Warriors, which would involve too many uncertainties.

The three discussed for a long time, but none of them could convince the other.

Bai Qi sought stability, Han Xin sought risk, and Mu Yi sought the unconventional.

The three are like three parallel straight lines, and it is impossible to find a point where they intersect.

"Do whatever you want, I can clean up the mess if you mess it up anyway!" Bai Qi stormed off angrily.

Judging from the results of the discussion, Han Xin and Mu Yi have reached a preliminary agreement: Bai Qi's potential is too low, so there's no need to pursue him; if they're going to pursue him, they should pursue him on a larger scale.

Anyway, Xinghan doesn't lack combat power that is on par with the heavens, so the more miracles the better.

Bai Qi was furious. Although Mu Yi was of noble status, he never compromised on such matters.

That's what caused their deaths back then.

Bai Qi turned and left, and the grasshoppers who were just standing on the same line instantly separated and started arguing.

This is a clash of ideologies between the two sides. Only when the clash is thorough enough can a mature super army be created.

However, the kind of military geniuses are always stubborn; once they've made up their minds, it's very difficult to change them.

Even though Mu Yi was of noble status, Han Xin would never back down when it came to military matters.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Han Xin waved his hands repeatedly, completely rejecting Mu Yi's design.

"If I can retrieve people from the long river of history, why can't this legion be projected from the past?" Mu Yi stated the facts and reasoned with them.

He came up with this idea precisely because so many people have been rescued from the past recently.

Putting everything else aside, as long as the new legion can borrow strength from the former First Yellow Heaven Legion, its potential and combat power will be absolutely not a problem.

"Leaving aside whether the legion can do it, the bodies of the illusory warriors carry the remnants of history. To materialize them, their will must be distorted and displayed. The starting point must be a legion of will or a legion of military soul!" Han Xin still completely denied it.

In Mu Yi's eyes, there were only two possible outcomes for his design: either it would be a success and everyone would be happy, resulting in another legion with extraordinary power.

Alternatively, the entire legion would have to be rebuilt from scratch, wasting the time-space power that had been painstakingly acquired.

"How much better can yours be? To control the power of the past, you must at least achieve a unified will, and a legion that has achieved a unified will has already reached the threshold of a top-tier legion."

The Dual Talent Will Legion and the Military Soul Legion are actually not much different, which is why Bai Qi criticized them.

If we simply focus on developing our character and skills, we'll naturally rise to great heights.

A single legion can hold off an enemy several times its size without any problem; it's the absolute ceiling for frontline defense.

However, he was rejected by Han Xin and Mu Yi, and had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Despite their argument over Orochi's corpse, the initial training plan was finalized.

After all, divine will is indispensable for achieving outrageous operations, so training with the Will Legion is a must from the start.

This is difficult, but it can be overcome. Mu Yi directly brought over the Dijiang Army Soul, forcibly providing this new legion with a catalyst for willpower growth.

Nothing can inspire the will more than music.
