Ordinary observers in fast time travel

The newcomer was dressed in a pink and white robe, with his long black hair tied up with a golden crown. He held a long flute in his hand and walked into the temple with his back to the light, so his face could not be seen, but he gave people a mysterious and unapproachable feeling.

She didn't walk fast, but she arrived in front of Shi Jia in an instant.

That flawless face suddenly and unexpectedly occupied Shi Jia's entire mind. Her eyes widened, and she even forgot to breathe.

"Pfft~" Suddenly, a fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, and Shi Jia instantly woke up, feeling her face burning. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Venerable Ancestor Gu Xi."

The person who came was Gu Xi, the second-generation ancestor of the Time Clan. When Shi Jia completed her adulthood training, Gu Xi had contacted her, so she recognized her.

"Hmm, it's good to be back." Gu Xi looked Shi Jia up and down. "Not bad, your divine body foundation is solid. This will save you a lot of trouble in the future."

“Come on, I’ll take you to your sacred island,” Gu Xi said with a smile.

Shi Jia naturally wouldn't refuse. Although she had lived here for a period of time when she had just condensed her soul body, that was hundreds of lifetimes ago to her. At this moment, the Time Clan's territory felt as unfamiliar to her as if it were her first time there.

Upon exiting the temple, a deep, dark starry sky came into view. Shi Jia looked around in surprise. The temple was actually built on a landmass floating in space. Large, laughing sunstones were embedded everywhere, and under the sunstones' illumination, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants flourished.

The temple was situated amidst a variety of exotic flowers and plants.

So the ancients' saying about a round heaven and a square earth wasn't a description, but a statement! No, there wasn't even a heaven! Shi Jia swallowed hard, looked at the pitch-black sky—no, the universe—and was utterly shocked.

Of course, Shi Jia was shocked, but she didn't say it out loud, because she had already discovered that there was a powerful energy covering the entire temple and the land. With this energy, not to mention meteorite impacts, even cosmic storms could not affect the temple.

Shocked, Gu Xi led Shi Jia to the edge of the land. Gu Xi waved her hand, and golden light enveloped the two of them. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

"We've arrived," came Gu Xi's voice.

Shi Jia quickly looked closely and his mouth dropped open again. This was also a landmass floating in space, also covered by an energy shield, with ancient stone houses and a beautiful garden.

But what truly made Shi Jia lose her composure was not this. At this moment, she looked up, her eyes reflecting countless floating islands. It turned out that above her island were countless other islands, layer upon layer, of varying sizes, floating in the universe.

Through the gaps between these islands, she saw a huge, boundless island, which must be the land where the temple was located!

Everything was orderly and strictly regulated! An invisible pressure was palpable.

Although Shi Jia knew that these islands were far away from her, she felt that they were right above her, constantly reminding her of her insignificance.

Gu Xi noticed her expression and a smile flashed in her eyes. "These are the sacred islands of other races."

Shi Jia knew, of course, that these were the sacred islands of other tribes, but asked, "Ancestor, are these sacred islands arranged from the tributaries upwards?"

Although she believed that was the case, she was still somewhat unwilling to accept it; the feeling of being suppressed at the bottom was truly unpleasant.

However, Gu Xi's answer surprised her: "That's not true. After three generations, the capable are in charge and the weak are in charge."

Shi Jia blinked. "You mean, I also have a chance to go up?"

"Pfft~" Gu Xi was amused by her cute appearance. "Of course, as long as your strength increases and you expand the area of ​​the Divine Island, the Divine Island will rise." "After rising to below the third generation, you can also choose to leave the Divine Island array and establish your own Divine Palace. However, at that time you will have to be responsible for the energy that powers the Divine Island." Gu Xi said.

As an aside, the third generation refers to the four founding divine lineages: Lan Shi, Yan Xu, Bai Zang, and Xuan Ying; the second generation of twelve ancestral lineages: Zhao Chun, Hua Chao, Gu Xi, Xin Xia, Rui Bin, Lin Zhong, Tong Qiu, Nan Lü, Wu She, Meng Dong, Huang Zhong, and Tu Yue; and the third generation of twenty-four lineages: Li Chun, Chun Yu, Jing Zhe…
The Time Clan's territory is built upon a divine island array comprised of the Divine Continent and three generations of divine islands. Within this array, energy circulates in an orderly and perpetual manner, and its defensive capabilities are comparable to those of a high-dimensional cosmic barrier.

Therefore, the divine islands beneath the array do not need to worry about insufficient energy. On the contrary, the Time Clan can exploit the resources of their territory.

However, once separated from the Divine Island array, everything must be self-sufficient.

At this moment, Shi Jia still didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Gu Xi's words, but simply nodded obediently, feeling much of the pressure in her heart disappear. "Yes, thank you for your explanation, Venerable Gu Xi."

Gu Xi smiled and said, "These next few days, you should take good care of what you have learned from your experience. You will need to submit a reflection during the coronation ceremony. If you have any precious memories, you can record them all."

"Gains from experience?" Shi Jia was a little confused. Did he have to share his experiences? What was there to share? Starting from the same point, different people have different lives.

“Your experience will be your crown,” Gu Xi said. “Alright, I have other things to do.” As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared. The next moment, a voice came from the horizon, “Li Chun said you need to supplement your general knowledge. Go to the Book Hall when you have time.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia's cheeks flushed red, and it took her a while to realize that she hadn't even asked where the Book Palace was, let alone how she was supposed to leave.

At this moment, the imprint in the mind sea was burning hot, and a gentle voice entered the ear, "The clan imprint can take you wherever you want to go."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency." Shi Jia quickly bowed to the front.

Upon returning to her clan's territory, Shi Jia felt completely out of place; even on her own sacred island, she felt somewhat uneasy. Fortunately, she wasn't alone.

Once the small system was released, the sizable island became lively.

"Wow, host, host, is this the Time Clan's territory?" The little system looked around in surprise. "The power of time is so dense!"

"Wow, so many floating islands." Faced with this scene that defies the laws of physics, the small system accepted it well, or rather, its database already contained records of the wonders of higher-dimensional races.

“Hmm, isn’t that amazing?” Shi Jia said. “I didn’t expect it either.” She had imagined it might be a secret realm or a giant life-bearing planet, but she never imagined it would be directly exposed in space.

"Amazing." The two antennae on the little system's head twitched, it was incredibly cute. Yeah, so cute it was practically smoking.

"Xiao Si, what's wrong?" Shi Jia was startled and quickly reached out to grab the little guy. She examined him carefully.

"Waaah, I was so scared!" The little system immediately stopped analyzing and struggled incessantly.

"What were you doing just now?" Shi Jia asked, shaking the small system in one hand.

The little system felt a bit guilty. It was just curious about the divine island array in the Time Clan's territory and had only analyzed its energy flow path.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the power of time here is so concentrated, I absorbed too much at once." The little system's eyes darted around. "Host, host, is this your cave dwelling? It's so beautiful."

"Hmph!" (End of Chapter)
