Chapter 444: The Disappearing Panel, Space-Time Retrospection
The moment the information emerged in his mind, Chu Zheng instinctively wanted to pull out the panel for a quick glance.
However, after several unsuccessful attempts, Chu Zheng was momentarily stunned.
The Repair Panel did not reappear, as if it had completely vanished.
Undoubtedly, after ascending to a Tenth Order Repair Master, the Repair Panel underwent some changes. The daily refresh count had disappeared, and the experience bar used for advancement had also vanished.
However, the repair abilities and various Divine Skills did not disappear; they still existed within him, which he could clearly feel.
Chu Zheng slightly frowned and glanced at the woman not far away, golden light swirling in his eyes.
Shan Ruiyuan sat cross-legged not far off, completely shrouded in gray-black Yin Qi, her lashes encrusted with frost shimmering with a ghostly blue glow under the starlight. Her once jade-like features appeared somewhat pale, clearly indicating poor condition.
An influx of information entered Chu Zheng's mind, without specific words, but he understood Shan Ruiyuan's current state very well.
Shan Ruiyuan, with the cultivation of a Great Immortal Venerable, had a bone age of over eighteen thousand four hundred years. She primarily cultivated the Emperor Skill "Flying Dust Scripture". Her body was corroded by Evil Qi, causing some damage to her foundation; even her emotional fluctuations could be vaguely felt by Chu Zheng.
Amidst the vagueness, he seemed to see numerous lines of causality entwining Shan Ruiyuan, spreading into the boundless void in all directions.
Noticing the immortal power within him gradually burning, Chu Zheng slowly withdrew his gaze. If he pursued these lines of causality, he could see more people related to Shan Ruiyuan, but it would require consuming a considerable amount of energy.
The existence of the Spiritual Eye was still effective, but compared to before, it had undergone significant changes, seemingly merging completely with him, indistinguishable.
Previously, the Spiritual Eye was essentially an extension of the Repair Panel, and Chu Zheng needed to receive information from the panel, followed by an analysis process.
But now, it was fundamentally different; he already possessed the ability to see through everything at a glance, fundamentally different compared to before.
Before Chu Zheng could think more, two successive pieces of information flooded into his mind.
[Your achievement in the path of repair has reached an unprecedented realm, and through countless repairs, you have comprehended the essence of the Space-time Law, realizing a supreme Divine Skill: Space-Time Retrospection.]
[Space-Time Retrospection (Tenth Order): The ultimate manifestation of space-time essence, capable of reversing space-time and traversing past and future.]
A supreme Divine Skill, Space-Time Retrospection.
After digesting this information, Chu Zheng was slightly astonished. Clearly, just like before, when stepping into the Tenth Order as a Repair Master, the panel granted him another Divine Skill, and it was an unprecedented supreme Divine Skill.
Supreme signifies a peerless realm, having reached the pinnacle.
After carefully examining the Divine Skill of Space-Time Retrospection, there was a hint of astonishment in Chu Zheng's expression.
Space-Time Retrospection, in its literal meaning, could reverse time and space, but it required a great amount of energy.
Space-Time Retrospection can be roughly divided into two types, the first being a retrospection of Chu Zheng's own state, bringing his bodily state back to a previous time.
This retrospection is quite similar to repair, but there is a fundamental difference; his memories would also change accordingly.
It allows his entire being to return to a previous state, erasing the memories of what he had experienced.
The second type targets the retrospection of the entire broader environment, capable of completely reversing the time-space of two realms.
Simply put, if the energy is sufficient, Chu Zheng could restore everything in the current Great Universe back to the Ancient Times, or even further into the past!
But the energy required for this is undoubtedly terrifyingly vast, fundamentally incalculable; even draining the Great Universe may not be enough. Perhaps only by gathering all the Heavenly Fate of both realms could there be a slight possibility.
Ultimately, this Divine Skill has only two directions: internal and external.
Noticing the fluctuations in Chu Zheng's aura, Shan Ruiyuan opened her eyes, watching Chu Zheng, who seemed unaffected by the surrounding Evil Qi, with a feeling of discouragement.
In these ten odd years, she tried many methods to resist the Evil Qi, all in vain, watching helplessly as Chu Zheng's aura grew stronger by the day while her own cultivation regressed to the point where even her foundation was shaken.
Today, she had to admit, though both were Immortal Path Cultivators, what Chu Zheng could do, she indeed could not, not even able to grasp the slightest hint.
Under her gaze, Chu Zheng slowly stood up, suddenly raising his hand to point a beam of Immortal Light at her.
Shan Ruiyuan's expression changed immediately, with no time to react before the Immortal Light enveloped her.
In an instant, the Primordial Spirit within her Spirit Platform was heavily impacted, causing her to immediately lose consciousness.
After knocking Shan Ruiyuan out, Chu Zheng attempted to apply Space-Time Retrospection on her, unsurprisingly, without any response.
This Divine Skill cannot be used on living creatures other than himself.
Chu Zheng was somewhat disappointed; if it could be used on living creatures, he would undoubtedly have the ability to grant eternal life.
He surveyed the surroundings, his gaze wandering through the desolate and chaotic Star Sea.
Soon, he found a target, in the starlit space not far away, quietly floating a star remnant about a hundred miles in size, sharp-edged, with surfaces covered in grooves and fused marks created by raging energy.
Chu Zheng raised his hand again, with a hint of trial, operating the Divine Skill, and pointed towards a piece of star remnant.
