Huo Yuhao looked at Adam's clear, golden eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"New guests?"
"You're starting to play coy, kid."
"Let's talk over there."
Adam nodded slightly, following Huo Yuhao to the outside of the open canyon.
Huo Yuhao leaned against the damp rock wall, the salty sea breeze blowing, and said to Adam:
"Tell me, what kind of two new guests have arrived in Douluo Continent?"
Adam flicked his finger, and the magic net's light screen appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
The screen split into two pieces, and after a brief blackout, two completely different scenes appeared.
The two screens showed a man and a woman.
The boy was gesturing wildly and negotiating with an innkeeper, probably wanting to stay at an inn.
The girl was on her way, a route Huo Yuhao knew very well—the route he had taken when he escaped from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
It seemed she was trying to meet up with the boy.
Adam was currently using the built-in surveillance function of the Magic Network, a hidden feature added by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from the very beginning of its design.
As long as the other party was connected to the Magic Network, Huo Yuhao and anyone with administrative privileges could spy on them at any time.
However, Huo Yuhao generally didn't use this; he didn't have that kind of fetish. It was mostly Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that secretly recorded important meetings outside.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, flicked his fingers in the air, and the two light screens began to enlarge, adjusting their viewing angle to face the two people directly.
He carefully examined the boy and girl's appearances, then leaned forward slightly and said,
"Interesting."
"Someone cloned me?"
"Or something else?"
Adam looked at the boy on the screen frantically thanking the innkeeper, and his tone unexpectedly wavered slightly.
"That boy's name is Huo Zhanji, a human."
"He just connected to the Magic Network today."
"But he's already at the Soul Master level."
"His Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye."
Huo Yuhao said with a smile,
"I understand." "
A Soul Master who just connected to the Magic Network, this kid appeared out of thin air."
"Huo Zhanji…"
"That name." "
And that appearance and Martial Soul."
"I know his identity now, a time traveler." "
I just don't know if it's the future of our world or the future of another world."
"Most likely the future of another world, a parallel world."
"It's impossible for anyone to travel freely between the past and future on a single timeline.
At least, in my current understanding, it's impossible."
"There are a bunch of paradoxes involved."
"Unless someone can transcend the fundamental logic of the universe."
"What's that girl's name? She's really pretty."
Adam hesitated slightly before saying the girl's name.
"Dai Ying."
"Currently, her strength is level 80."
"According to her description, she was once a first-level god, whose power was completely consumed by spacetime turbulence and dimensional repulsion."
The girl's name left Huo Yuhao speechless. He slapped his face and remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"I take back what I said."
"This little girl doesn't look like me at all, not as cute as my Butterfly!"
Adam, standing to the side, silently nodded in agreement.
"However, this confirms my guess."
"These two are time travelers from another world."
"They're on a parallel line unrelated to our timeline."
"During this time, you and Audrey keep a close eye on them, recording their every move in the magic network."
"Especially that little girl named Dai Ying, I could tell at a glance she's got eight hundred schemes in her head.
Daring to have the surname Dai! She's definitely not a good person!"
Adam's lips twitched slightly, his figure gradually fading into the air, his voice completely flat.
"I understand, Father."
When there was no one in front of him, Huo Yuhao looked at the boundless sea and shook his head slightly.
He was a complete novice when it came to the realm of time, or rather, there was no one on the entire Douluo Star who was proficient in time.
The Evil Eye Tyrant only used his mental power to slightly interfere with time, and Di Tian was even less capable.
His beloved secretary, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, didn't have the time attribute either.
As for the time attribute, the Golden Dragon King was practically a madman; he probably only knew how to use it, not how.
"Ah Shui, Ah Xue, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you."
Huo Yuhao arrived at the empty canyon and found the Water Dragon King and Snow Empress, who were assisting Atai, the Northern Soul Beasts, and the workers at the Northern Shipyard in moving giant shipbuilding equipment.
The two women exchanged a glance and came to Huo Yuhao's side.
The Water Dragon King's voice was still as gentle as water.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the former God-King level Dragon King and said,
"Do you know under what circumstances time travel can occur?"
Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes flashed with a questioning light.
She said,"Yuhao, have you encountered something related to time travel?"
Huo Yuhao did not hide anything and nodded, saying,
"Heh, Adam just came over and told me that two guests from another dimension have arrived in Douluo Continent."
"They look like this."
Huo Yuhao accessed the surveillance video using his privileges.
Huo Zhanji was making the bed in the inn's room; he had just exchanged a lot of Dream Coins, otherwise he wouldn't even have enough money for the inn.
Dai Ying was still on her way and should arrive in Xingluo City today.
Xue Di looked at the screen, tilted her head, and said,
"They look just like you, Yuhao."
"Are they Yuhao's children from the future?"
Huo Yuhao held out his palm to Xue Di and said,
"They are 'Huo Yuhao's' children, but not mine."
"Parallel timeline, I remember Elder Yi taught you that."
"You haven't forgotten, have you? Elder Yi asked me to give you a spot check in a few days."
Xue Di suddenly trembled, fear showing in her clear sky-blue eyes.
"Yuhao, you're making things difficult for me."
"Please let me go." "
Bing'er will be out of seclusion soon. When she comes to your spiritual sea, let Tianmeng and Elder Yi teach her."
"Bing'er is much smarter than me."
Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di gently and said nothing more.
Snow Empress waved her hand in front of her, quickly changing the subject,
"Speaking of which, I really know nothing about the Time Domain."
"A soul beast with this attribute has never appeared in the Far North either."
The Water Dragon King looked at the screen, a thoughtful look flashing in his azure eyes.
Just by looking at the other's posture, he knew that Ah Shui was far more reliable than Ah Xue! No wonder he was once a God King!
"Yuhao, can this video show the other party's aura?"
"I might have some guesses."
Huo Yuhao smiled, his fingers tapping slightly in the air,
"What's so difficult about that?"
"It's just a matter of a little bit of authority."
"Alright."
A ripple appeared on the magic network's screen, as if something had been added; the video quality was clearer, and the screen now seemed like a spatial channel directly displaying the other party's appearance and aura.
The Water Dragon King closed his eyes, gently sensing the auras of Huo Zhanji and Dai Ying.
Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress stood aside, not daring to disturb the Water Dragon King's thoughts.
The two only approached slowly after they noticed the Water Dragon King's lips slightly upturned and his eyes, as clear as a lake, reopened.
"Yuhao, I know what's going on."
"It's the lingering influence of an old friend."
Huo Yuhao, hearing this, vaguely guessed,
"The Time Dragon King?"
"Wasn't he completely dead? How could there be any remnants?"
A trace of sadness flashed in the Water Dragon King's eyes as she said,
"When Father went mad, he had no reason and didn't retrieve the crowns of the nine Dragon Kings."
"Each crown is the highest achievement of a Dragon God, equivalent to a divine position.
How could they be easily destroyed?"
"After Time's death, the Time Crown should have ended up in some alternate dimension."
"Those two children have the aura of the Time Crown on them."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled, saying,
"How could the Time Crown suddenly appear at this time?"
"Did someone trigger it?"
The Water Dragon King smiled and looked at Huo Yuhao, saying,
"Yes."
"It was you who triggered it."
Before Huo Yuhao could ask, she took the initiative to explain,
"The nine crowns are all achievements of the Dragon Gods." "
The nine crowns were originally one, and there is a natural connection between them."
"Crowns with owners are not affected by this connection, but crowns without owners have no self-reason, so this influence will be amplified infinitely."
"Yuhao, you should have five crowns, right?"
"Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Space."
Huo Yuhao now understood why the time travel phenomenon had occurred; it was due to his own actions.
"I see."
"It really is the so-called butterfly effect."
"However, I only have four crowns right now; the Space Crown has already been given to the Second Generation Space Dragon King."
"Ashui, can we find the Time Crown through those two children?"
The Water Dragon King pondered for a moment, blinking his azure eyes, and said,
"Yes."
"We have four crowns, and with the time aura emanating from those two children, I can definitely pinpoint the location of the Time Crown."
Huo Yuhao nodded. Of all the crowns, the Time Crown was the one he wanted most.
Time was the only power he currently understood nothing about—well, not completely ignorant, at most knowing that it was related to spacetime and gravity.
Suddenly, Xue Di moved slightly, looking at Huo Yuhao with surprise, and said,
"Yuhao, Sister Shui!"
"Bing'er is about to undergo her tribulation."
"Want to go and see?"
Huo Yuhao ended his thoughts and nodded to Xue Di.
