Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1287 Heart of Time
It turns out the man is the third-generation ancestor of the Time Clan, named Lichun. According to the man, Shijia is a descendant of Guyu, also a third-generation ancestor.

"What? You haven't contacted Guyu?" Lichun raised an eyebrow.

That's the sect's ancestor! How could she, a mere minor branch, be qualified to contact the sect's ancestor? Shi Jia thought to herself, but she still solemnly explained her contract with the Dimensional Management Bureau. "When I completed my adulthood trial, I was in a small world. The mission was not completed, so I was unable to contact the outside world."

Lichun nodded in understanding. "After you leave the Azure Dragon Trading Company, return to your clan's territory for your coronation. Don't go to the Small World before your coronation is complete."

Shi Jia nodded. That was her original plan, but after hearing what the patriarch of Lichun said, it seemed there was more to it than met the eye.

Lichun didn't explain to her, "Now that you've entered the Chaotic Space, don't waste your time, hurry up and explore it."

"A chaotic time-space?" Shi Jia remembered 0916 saying that the Time Ancestor's shop was dynamic, with time inside possibly moving faster or slower than outside, or even being chaotic. So she was lucky enough to have entered a shop with chaotic time.

Of course, as I said before, time has no meaning for her as the Ancestor of Time.

Lichun, however, thought she was confused and explained, "The Ancient Time Tower has three different spaces: the fast time, the slow time, and the chaotic time."

Three spaces? Shi Jia suddenly realized, then how did she enter the Chaotic Time Space?
“The moment the hourglass of the gate spins, stepping into the ancient building will take you into this chaotic space,” Lichun said. “Time is chaotic here. If you accidentally touch a fragment of time, you may age rapidly, or time may reverse, or you may even fall into a time rift and die directly. It is very dangerous for other races.”

Shi Jia understood. So this person had sensed someone entering the Chaotic Time Space and had come to investigate. If it was so dangerous, why create this space in the first place?
Despite having doubts, Shi Jia did not ask them, but simply said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Ancestor."

"Go." Li Chun waved her hand, her figure gradually fading and disappearing without a trace. Only one sentence echoed in the space: "You don't have your own natal artifact yet, do you? Go look for it; perhaps you'll find what you're looking for."

Shi Jia was taken aback. "You're just leaving like that?" She looked at the chaotic space where she couldn't tell which way to go. "You have to tell me how to leave, right?"

All around was quiet, and Shi Jia did not receive an answer from the ancestor.

Shi Jia let out a breath. "Alright, I'll figure it out myself."

She focused her attention on the radiant light and quickly sensed something: directly ahead, the energy of time was abundant; at one o'clock, the energy of wood was abundant; at three o'clock, the energy of metal and wood was rising; at six o'clock, violent fire energy was trying to devour everything; at eight o'clock, the space seemed to become boundless, it must be a spatial treasure...

There are so many treasures, I want them all!

To be honest, although Shi Jia had seen many treasures, they were all things he could look at but not take. He didn't really have any treasures that he could show off.

"A natal artifact?" Shi Jia hadn't really thought about it. After all, she hadn't had her memories restored for long, and she was busy with the mission of the Dimensional Management Bureau, so she didn't have time to think about these things.

However, it's not too late to think about it now.

What should be the Time Clan's destined artifact? A clock? A sundial? A water clock? An hourglass? ...

Shi Jia's first thought was of various timekeeping devices, and his divergent thinking led him to imagine time stopping, time reversing, and time accelerating! Tsk tsk, this would be a fatal blow to the enemy!

However, she was somewhat dissatisfied. She felt that she preferred a more expansive and dynamic fighting style, so she wanted a knife.

Time is a knife? Time, you mean, a butcher's knife!

Shi Jia immediately shook her head. A knife of time is a knife of time; it can't be made into a pig-slaughtering knife! She simply couldn't imagine herself holding a knife to slaughter a pig.

Lost in a wild, unrestrained train of thought, Shi Jia found herself standing before the dense mass of time energy.

She cautiously reached out and touched it, and the ball of light immediately burst forth with dazzling brilliance. Shi Jia, enveloped in the light, felt time rushing by, as if an entire cosmic era had passed. As the light gradually dimmed, Shi Jia slowly opened her eyes, only to see a palm-sized transparent crystal in her hand, surrounded by a dazzling array of seven colors, captivating the senses. Simply by gazing upon it, one would immediately forget the passage of time.

"So beautiful!" Shi Jia couldn't help but exclaim. She didn't know exactly what the crystal was, but the power of time on it was enough to show its value.

As she sighed, a screen of light appeared, 'The Heart of Time, a crystallization accumulated over hundreds of billions of years in the River of Time…'

Shi Jia gasped. The crystallization of the River of Time! Wasn't that the true form of the Time Clan? Holding the true form of some unknown ancestor, Shi Jia instantly felt it was burning hot.

"Hiss!" A faint sound rang out.

Shi Jia was startled and nervously looked around.

"Where did this junior come from, not even knowing that the Heart of Time is a crystallized energy of the Time Clan?" The voice came from somewhere, but it rang in Shi Jia's ears.

"This junior is Shi Jia of the Time Clan. May I ask which senior has descended upon us?" Shi Jia regained his composure.

"I am the spirit of the ancient tower." A faint, ethereal figure appeared before Shi Jia. The next second, a pale green figure appeared beside him.

"Ancestor of Lichun." Shi Jia quickly bowed.

"Shi Jia, you're lucky." Li Chun looked at the Heart of Time in Shi Jia's hand with surprise, her eyes filled with envy. He had already left, but less than a minute later, he sensed the anomaly in the Chaotic Space again and immediately rushed back.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jia found the Heart of Time and even woke up Lou Ling.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Lou Ling hurriedly bowed to Li Chun.

Lichun waved her hand, "Go back now."

Lou Ling glanced at the Heart of Time in Shi Jia's hand, but didn't dare to say anything before the phantom disappeared.

“Ancestor Lichun, this Heart of Time is very precious, isn’t it?” Shi Jia asked with certainty, handing the item to Lichun.

“It is indeed precious, after all, it is the crystallization of that person’s energy.” Li Chun said vaguely, but did not take the Heart of Time. “Take it. Since you have found this thing, it means that it is destined for you.”

Shi Jia was somewhat tempted, but, "Ancestor, this Heart of Time must be very expensive, I don't have that much money." She hadn't forgotten that this Chaotic Time Space was not a no-man's-land, and everything inside had a price.

"It is indeed quite valuable, but making money is not difficult. Besides, our time is the least valuable thing. We can pay it back slowly," Lichun comforted her in a good mood.

Hehe, this thing has finally found a home in their old building.

After hearing this, Shi Jia was even more tempted. Yes, at worst, she could work to pay off the debt. She was a member of the Time Tribe, so she could pay it off slowly.

"Okay, then I'll take it. It'll be perfect for forging my destined artifact."

Lichun nodded in satisfaction, "What kind of magical artifact do you want to forge? I can help you with some ideas."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ancestor."
