The Growth of a God

Chapter 802: Little Fish in the River of Time
"How can this be?"

I watched in amazement as everything around me slowed down until it finally came to an absolute standstill.

Batis knew that it was not that time had really stopped, but that he and Aten had entered a state of high-speed motion, completely disconnected from the changes in the outside world.

In fact, normal time is still flowing.

It's just that time flows faster for himself and Aten, which creates this scene that is almost as if time has stopped.

"You are obviously just a mortal..."

When these words came out of Tuthmons' mouth, they were filled with anger and unwillingness.

However, when the same words came out of Batis' mouth, it was extremely shocking and unbelievable.

Time is a power that even ordinary gods cannot control, but now it appears so realistically in Aten.

"As long as we understand the nature of time..."

"Whether you are a mortal or a god, there is no difference."

The way gods interfere with time is to stand in a higher dimension and overlook the low-dimensional world.

Atun's golden pocket watch allows him to stay in a detached state, watching the changes in the world and the passage of time.

There is no difference between the two in terms of superiority or inferiority. The only difference is the different understanding of time and the different ways of interference.

"So what if you create a magical device that can control time?"

After a brief silence, Batis's eyes finally moved away from the golden pocket watch.

In this static space and time, Aten and Batis can move freely, but this does not mean that they can defeat Thutmose who holds the Book of the Dead.

Gods are beings of higher dimensions, and their insight into time is far beyond that of normal creatures.

Especially when being attacked, even a half-baked god as described by Atun will instinctively fight back.

"As long as we don't solve the Book of the Dead, we won't have any chance of winning."

Those seemingly static evil gods are essentially still the remains of gods with a higher-dimensional perspective.

Once they notice the abnormal passage of time on Aten, they will attack his essence from a higher dimension, which is impossible to defend against.

"I just said that we don't actually need to deal with those evil gods."

Continuing to explain with a smile on his face, Aten once again turned the hands on the golden pocket watch.

Only this time, Aten no longer accelerated the passage of time for himself and Batis, but instead made time go backwards.

The river of time did not change at all, but Aten and Batis were reversing their individual time, allowing their current consciousness to return to the body they were in a few minutes ago.

tumultuous!
In an instant, time in the eyes of Aten and Batis began to go backwards and time began to reverse.

I saw those evil spirits that emerged from the Book of the Dead retreating again...

The netherworld that had originally covered the sky had once again returned to the moment when it was dispersed by the scarab...

Even Aten and Batis' states returned to the moment before Tuthmons took out the [Book of the Dead]...

“This is the power of time!”

Unlike a normal god of time, he does not interfere with the river of time for the entire world.

The golden pocket watch simply changed the status of Aten and Batis, causing them to be out of sync with the normal flow of time.

Compared to those gods of time who have already jumped out of the long river of time and can interfere with any time node at will.

Aten and Batis' current behavior can at best be regarded as two fish swimming upstream.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

[As expected, he is a genius who was once only one step away from becoming a ‘transcendent’. 】

Atun's method of using the golden pocket watch to jump time naturally and inevitably alarmed the Heavenly Dao system.

Li Hao saw through the essence of this "time reversal" at a glance.

Rather than saying this is "time reversal", it is better to say it is an alternative "time jump" - a time jump phenomenon that goes backwards. Jumping back from the current time node to a few minutes ago, Aten only changed his own state.

As a non-time...

No, to be precise, as a mortal, the golden pocket watch made by Aten has already touched the authority of the God of Time, which is the power of time.

Next, as long as Li Hao nods, the Heavenly Dao system will recognize his authority and responsibilities and enthrone him as the true God of Time.

This is the normal procedure for a normal god to ascend the throne.

However, in the world of mountains and seas, there is an additional Heavenly Dao system that is specifically responsible for screening and dividing these things, in order to prevent a certain god from wanting to follow the path of the "mono-god system".

Obviously, Atun, who has been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for so many years, is very clear about the process of deification in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The fact that he did not use the golden pocket watch to exalt his divine work shows that he did not want his future to be limited to the priesthood represented by the pocket watch.

"So, what kind of god do you plan to be?"

In this still space and time, a wisp of black flame suddenly burned out of nowhere.

Then, in Batis's shocked eyes, a god with a dog's head, a human body and a ring of fire on his back appeared in front of Aten.

"Huo Dou!?"

Unable to hide his inner shock, Batis certainly couldn't be unaware of what the Huodou symbolized.

In the mythology of the mountain and sea world, this majestic god with a dog's head and a human body is the incarnation of the Creator and the only humanoid form of the Creator.

"What kind of god am I going to be?"

Different from Batis' shock, although Aten also showed a look of surprise, he was more calm.

He knew that playing with time in the world of mountains and seas would not escape the eyes of the Creator - even if what he played with was just an illusion of time.

"To be honest, I don't know."

"But I certainly don't want to be some half-hearted 'god of time'."

"Manipulating an individual's sense of time, even if you use this ability to the extreme, you are still just a small fish in the long river of time."

"What I pursue should be a power like yours that can overturn the entire river of time."

Nodding slightly, Huodou smiled without commenting.

"In that case, I have something I want you to help me with."

"If you are willing to accept my commission, I will probably be able to give you a deeper understanding of 'time'."

Slightly shake the two tentacles on his head.

Aten knew that the Creator would definitely not show up just because of such a small matter.

"I believe you, even if you want me to deal with the Transcendent."

There was no need for much verbal communication, as the clever Atun immediately guessed the purpose of the Huotou's visit.

In the current world of mountains and seas, there are not many things worthy of the Creator's attention.

The only one who can make the Creator appear in person is Amon, the Transcendent who has been eyeing the Mountain and Sea Realm covetously.

"It's true that this is somewhat dangerous, but I believe you can handle it."

He turned and nodded to Batis.

The figure of the evil spirit disappeared again, and the time that had been still began to flow again.

"Here's a suggestion for you. Next time you want to do a 'time jump', try not to bring anyone with you if possible."

"After all, not everyone can withstand the negative effects of 'time jump'..."
