Bai Zihe briefly explained the situation to Zhulong.
"Elder Zhulong."
"This matter is a long story."
"Actually, I have always wanted to master the power of space, the power of time, and then converge the five elements to comprehend the ultimate power of chaos."
Hearing this.
Zhulong raised his strange head, his lighthouse-like eyes looking at Bai Zihe with a trace of shock.
"Comprehending Chaos..."
He sized up Bai Zihe and said in surprise, "You kid, you really dare to dream. A mere cultivator at the Tribulation Realm, and you want to comprehend Chaos?"
"Do you know..."
"How many ancient great beings, how many astonishingly talented individuals, failed to comprehend Chaos?"
Bai Zihe naturally knew all of this.
When he was cultivating in the Haotian Pagoda, he would occasionally have the small pagoda chat with him.
Matters of ancient times.
Tales of peerless geniuses.
Some strange anecdotes, some geniuses who made people sigh with regret, also broadened Bai Zihe's horizons, leading him to this point.
"I know."
Bai Zihe met his gaze and smiled, then slowly said, "But in this life, since I have a goal, I must at least try."
"And..."
Bai Zihe flipped his hand, and a box appeared on it. It was the original dodecahedron, and now the Chaos Treasure Box.
Since comprehending space, the cracks in the Chaos Treasure Box had widened.
Bai Zihe understood.
The Chaos Treasure Box actually needed the convergence of the five elements and the power of time and space to finally be opened.
And this item was the only thing he truly possessed that was related to Chaos.
"This, this, this..."
Seeing the Chaos Treasure Box, Zhulong was immediately agitated, his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
He pointed a claw at the Chaos Treasure Box and stammered, "The thing in your hand, is it the Chaos Treasure Box?"
"Yes."
Bai Zihe answered very crisply.
Upon receiving the answer, Zhulong stood frozen for a moment, saying nothing further.
So.
Bai Zihe continued, "I have a unique advantage, so after completing the trial of space, I asked Elder Longxiao to do me a favor."
"He sent me here."
"Seeing my sincerity and worrying that your ultimate skills would go uninherited and be permanently lost after your demise, he agreed."
A look of understanding flashed in Zhulong's eyes, but he still had a question.
"I understand this part."
Zhulong looked at Bai Zihe and said, "But I don't understand, what is your intention in deliberately telling me your story?"
It had to be said that Zhulong was very clear-headed.
He felt that Bai Zihe deliberately revealing his story and showing him the Chaos Treasure Box had a purpose, and not a small one.
Bai Zihe was startled.
Zhulong, the one before him, seemed much more astute than the honest Longxiao.
Dealing with a character like this...
One must not play tricks, but face him with the utmost sincerity and earnestness.
After all, the end of the Great Dao is sincerity!
"It's like this."
Thinking of this, Bai Zihe did not hide anything and told the truth, "The outside world is facing another dark invasion, and I don't know if I can resist it."
"Therefore, I want to comprehend Chaos before the final great battle, and then overcome the lightning tribulation to gain unprecedented power to counter the invasion of dark anomalies."
"To comprehend Chaos, I need to open the Chaos Treasure Box first."
"To open the Chaos Treasure Box, I need the power of time and space, so I came here."
Zhulong fell into silence again.
He was pondering what Bai Zihe had said.
Dark invasion...
He knew about it.
Chaos Treasure Box...
He knew about it.
Everything was flawless, and there was no sign that the young man before him was a cunning schemer.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Zhulong looked at Bai Zihe, his gaze questioning.
"I want..."
Bai Zihe paused and said, "For you to help me once, to pass on the power of time to me."
After arriving in this space, Bai Zihe discovered something.
The power of time.
The power of space.
Seemingly two distinct forbidden spaces.
But the time they opened and the time they closed were actually synchronized.
This meant that when Bai Zihe made his choice six days ago and began to comprehend the profound meaning of space, the forbidden space of time also began a seven-day countdown.
This way, it prevented anyone from comprehending the power of space and then using it to enter the forbidden space of time to continue comprehending.
This was a cheating prevention measure.
Bai Zihe's initial little schemes were perfectly thwarted by the designer.
After all, in the eyes of the great power who set up the space, no one could comprehend both space and time to a high level within seven days.
If there were such a genius, he would accept it.
Such a genius...
It was no big deal for him to possess both time and space powers simultaneously.
Therefore, Bai Zihe did not have much time left to comprehend the power of time.
With less than a day remaining, even the most outstanding and earth-shattering genius in history would not be able to achieve such a feat.
Having the divine beast Zhulong directly pass on his inheritance to him was Bai Zihe's only chance.
"Why?"
Zhulong did not refuse immediately, but instead retorted, "Why should I pass on my master's supreme skills to you just like that?"
Hearing this, Bai Zihe knew he had succeeded halfway.
He curled his lips slightly and said confidently, "Because, within seven days, I can comprehend spatial power to a sufficient level and obtain the secret manual of spatial inheritance."
"This is enough to prove my talent."
"Because..."
"I possess a supreme treasure like the Chaos Treasure Box, which shows that I am the chosen one."
"Because..."
"Other than me, it will be difficult for anyone in the future to stand before you, talk with you at length, and ultimately pass your test to obtain this time inheritance."
"Because..."
"You also don't want your master's inheritance to be lost in the river of time and disappear forever!"
His last sentence hit Zhulong's soft spot directly.
As Bai Zihe said.
Zhulong understood what the forbidden space was like much better than Bai Zihe.
He himself had already despaired.
He no longer held any hope for the next visitor.
"Good!"
Finally, Zhulong's face flickered with various emotions, and he agreed to Bai Zihe.
"Whoosh..."
The moment the words fell, a secret manual appeared in his hand, with ancient characters written on it that read - Secret Manual of the Power of Time!
"I hope..."
Zhulong handed the secret manual to Bai Zihe and slowly said, "You can spread this supreme skill far and wide, and let your master's glory shine through the ages!"
Bai Zihe took it and said solemnly, "Bai Zihe will certainly not disappoint!"
Thus.
The power of time, the power of space, converged into Bai Zihe's hands!
Coupled with the power of the five elements...
It was Chaos!
As long as he could take this step, he would possess infinite possibilities.
