Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, removing the time-space constraint and allowing time to flow again.

"Wandering in the undying flower of time."

"Born along with the primordial spirit of heaven and earth."

Jiang Yuan finally understood the meaning behind this pale pink flower.

He looked down at the flower in his palm, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. Then, with a gentle flick of his wrist, he placed it between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a pale red flower-shaped mark slowly appeared between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows, as if it had always been there.
As the mark was fully formed, Jiang Yuan's aura began to change.

Sometimes she is as pure and innocent as a baby, with the bewilderment of someone just arriving in the world.

At times, it appears ancient and profound, like an ancient god, bearing witness to millions of years of vicissitudes.

He was standing on the Antarctic ice sheet, with ice layers over three thousand meters thick beneath his feet, yet his figure seemed to be shrouded in an invisible halo, as if he were in the clouds far beyond the heavens, or like the molten core buried deep in the earth's heart.

The measure of time lost its meaning for him.

Past, present, and future intertwine in his eyes.

At that very moment, the ultimate truth of chaos surged into Jiang Yuan's spiritual space like a sudden enlightenment.

Chaos is the sum of disorder and order in time. Mastering the ultimate mystery of time is equivalent to mastering everything in chaos.

He can now manipulate the hands of time at will, turning oceans into mulberry fields in an instant and bringing withered trees back to life in a moment.

It can also reverse the flow of time, return to any point in the past, make up for past regrets, and change established facts.

He can even materialize the intangible concept of time, drawing out the ever-flowing river of time, flipping through the pages of history that record the past, going upstream along the river, or turning the pages to witness those past experiences.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and gently tapped a piece of angular ice rock next to him.

In an instant, the surface of the ice rock weathered and peeled away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally hard ice layer turned into fine dust with each breath, which was then scattered by the wind.

Immediately afterwards, he made a grasping motion towards the pile of dust, and the scattered particles suddenly condensed and piled up again into the shape of ice rock, with even the slightest crack on the surface being exactly the same as the original.

Jiang Yuan's consciousness traveled freely, easily seeing the day he transmigrated to the world of Full-Time Mage.

He could easily change everything that happened in the past and have a different life trajectory, but no matter how he modifies it, he will eventually end up at the same point.

Because when he truly breaks free from the shackles of time, he becomes an unpredictable spirit detached from fate, and at the same time, the ultimate destiny and final destination of the river of time.

"I see." Jiang Yuan murmured to himself, withdrawing his hand from turning the time.

After thinking it over, he decided not to interfere with the established trajectory.

How do you say that.

This is the road he came from.

Our gaze turned to the depths of the frigid ice cave, where a deafening roar of ice shattering echoed.

Giant beasts that have been dormant for hundreds of millions of years are awakening. Their massive bodies stir up the cold currents from the earth, causing the entire Antarctic ice sheet to tremble slightly.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and pressed down, and the surging energy instantly enveloped the entire Antarctic.

His Chaos-type talent was activated at full power, and a semi-transparent light curtain descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Antarctic continent.

Then the light screen slowly rose, taking the original ice layer, frozen soil, and awakened behemoth with it as it left this plane.

At the same time, another identical light curtain descended from the void, transforming into a new Antarctica, but without any sign of life. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, without the outside world even noticing anything unusual.

Deep within the ice cave, the giant beasts finally awoke fully.

The behemoths have awakened.

They looked exactly like the ones Jiang Yuan had seen in his dream.

However, they were only a small fraction of the giant beasts that once roamed the continent.

"."

The giant beast shook its head and looked around.

It spotted the source of the river in mid-air at a glance.

"The First Spirit".

The mental fluctuations were directly transmitted to Jiang Yuan's mind.

"You've been sleeping for a long time, it's been a long time," Jiang Yuan greeted them as if they were old friends.

“We have no other way but to resist the passing of life by sleeping,” the behemoth replied.

Despite their immense power and vast vitality, they are simply powerful in terms of sheer strength; their bodies cannot withstand the erosion of millions of years.

Therefore, slumber is the only option.

Many giant beasts have perished in the passage of time.

Jiang Yuan already knew the whereabouts of the giant beasts through time. The one under Mount Everest was one of them. In addition, some of the giant beasts' skeletons were underground all over the world, and some had left the magical plane.

“If you wish, I can freeze time for you. No aging, no death, you can remain in this state forever,” Jiang Yuan said.

The giant beasts remained silent for a moment, communicating with each other through mental fluctuations.

After a while, the leading behemoth spoke again: "Primordial Spirit, thank you for your kindness. But death is not frightening to us. Like flowers blooming and withering, tides rising and falling, it is all part of the cycle of life. We once slept to survive, driven by instinct; we are not attached to eternity."

It paused, a profound light flashing in its golden pupils: "Immortality is a blessing, but also a painful shackle. Unless we can find the meaning of life within immortality, it will be eternal torment. However, the meaning of life is no longer important to us. Long before life was born, the meaning of life was already imprinted on our bodies and souls."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, respecting their choice.

Every life has its own rhythm; forcibly trying to hold on to it goes against the very nature of life.

"In that case, continue to sleep. When life comes to an end, I will come to see you off on your final journey."

"It is our honor to see you again."

The behemoth's voice carried a hint of relief: "Before I fall into slumber, there is something I need to entrust to you. The Creator Beast left a message, saying that only by breaking free from time can you freely travel between different points in time and space."

"He also said that after you have gone through a cycle of disappearance and reappearance, you need to collect all of His scattered eyes and bring them to the beginning of time. He is waiting for you there."

After the behemoth finished speaking, its massive body slowly sank down and disappeared back into the thick ice.

The cracks in the top of the ice cave began to heal automatically, and the fallen icicles returned to the dome, as if the awakening had never happened.

The frigid ice cave returned to silence.

Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, then decided to return to the Magic Plane to collect the remaining Divine Eyes and deliver them to the Creation Beast. (End of Chapter)
