Lin Yuan was delving into the essence of space within the Demigod Lattice.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"Is someone spying on me?"
A subtle movement in Lin Yuan's heart, just at that moment, he felt an extremely covert sensation of being watched.
This feeling of being watched wasn't a spatial one, but rather pertained to the aspect of time.
If Lin Yuan hadn't profoundly understood the Rule of Time over these years, he probably wouldn't have sensed anything unusual at all.
Even beings of Ninth Rank and even Tenth Rank life forms would find it difficult to counteract within the domain of time.
there was some entity, traversing against the River of Time, trying to decipher Lin Yuan's true origins.
Lin Yuan's mind sank into his mental sea where the majestic and grand Door to the Myriad Realms stood, a trivial backlash, following the projection of the Door to the Myriad Realms, indifferently released.
"Detected a thread of the aura of the Door to the Myriad Realms, no, it should be a subtle trace, and then encountered a backlash?"
A hint of oddity flickered across Lin Yuan's expression.
The Door to the Myriad Realms, whose rank Lin Yuan still hadn't figured out; however, it was certain that it far surpassed the level of a Twelfth Rank Supreme Being.
Transcending dimensions, which Supreme Beings can't touch, yet the Door to the Myriad Realms can do it as easily as eating or drinking.
Such beings already possess characteristics of 'unseeable' and 'unspyable', like a blazing sun, continuously emitting energy at all times.
Life forms whose strength and realm aren't sufficient, if they dare to look or spy directly, even if they are separated by vast distances and multiple dimensional barriers, will still suffer horrible backlashes.
This was only a projection of the Door to the Myriad Realms. If it were the Door to the Myriad Realms itself... In fact, there's no such possibility because the instant the Door to the Myriad Realms itself descends into this world, everything will shatter.
Lin Yuan couldn't sustain the Door to the Myriad Realms itself, and neither could this world.
"Is it the Sovereign God of the Ocean of Light? Or the Sovereign God of the Dark Abyss?"
Lin Yuan speculated in his heart while looking up at the sky.
Stars symbolic of the gods seemingly hung eternally indestructible, within the largest twenty-four stars, one began showing intense fluctuations, looking as if it was about to fall.
"The God of Divination?" Lin Yuan carefully observed and came to a conclusion.
The numerous stars hanging in the sky... each corresponded to a True God, especially those twenty-four largest stars, which were the Divine Kingdoms of the Prime Gods.
No sooner had the backlash from the Door to the Myriad Realms transferred over than one of the Prime God's Divine Kingdoms started trembling. Lin Yuan almost confirmed that the one who had spied on him through the dimension of time was the adversary.
"Yet, there is also a Prime God who possesses the attribute of time..." Lin Yuan's heart grew slightly fervent.
The Rule of Time, though belonging to the foundational rules like the Space Rules, its complexity and difficulty in mastering surpassed the latter by far.
In this world, the Demigods, True Gods, and even Prime Gods, their Divine Lattices serve as 'keys' to unlocking the essence of rules.
For example, a Demigod Lattice with spatial attributes could allow Lin Yuan to see the true essence of space in this world, thus vastly benefiting the creation of Spatial Layers.
What about a Divine Lattice with time attributes? Or a Prime God Form?
"It depends on the extent to which the nature of time is contained within that Time Prime God's Divine Lattice..." Lin Yuan thought silently.
If the nature of time contained within is too high, Lin Yuan would actually find it troublesome because it implies that this Time Prime God possesses superior application of the Rule of Time—like his True Body directly ascending against the flow of time, hiding in the past?
In that case, Lin Yuan, despite having absolute strength, could do nothing against the opponent.
But the probability of this is not high. To ascend against the flow with one's True Body, one must fully understand the complete Rule of Time. If that Time Prime God had such strength, spying on Lin Yuan through the layer of time would not have been detected.
So far, Lin Yuan's understanding of the Rule of Time is just at a beginner level, still far from even a minor achievement.
"Hopefully, he wasn't directly killed by the backlash, right?"
Lin Yuan closely observed that massive star in the heavens.
After learning of the other's rare time-attribute Divine Lattice, Lin Yuan instead worried about the other's safety.
The gods all eagerly watched the God of Divination.
Hoping to utilize the power of this great Prime God to clarify the origins of that Longshan Patriarch.
However, what happened next shocked all the present True Gods.
The God of Divination, whose aura had been profoundly unknowable, suddenly started to disperse, and its descent seemed almost endless.
The change in the massive star belonging to the God of Divination in the firmament was quickly noticed by the gods.

"What exactly happened?"
"The God of Divination, the great God of Divination, why would this happen..."
Many True Gods couldn't believe it. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined such a sight happening to a high and mighty Prime God.
Divine Power and Divine Body were even depleting.
This was a Prime God?!
Since ancient times, even amidst brutal divine wars, Prime Gods remained high above. Historically, there have indeed been Prime Gods who mysteriously disappeared, but never because of battles among other Prime Gods.
"Backlash, this is a backlash."
"The God of Divination has encountered a backlash."
An old Upper-Rank God seemed to think of something and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
Theoretically, each time the God of Divination, who holds the authority of 'Divination', conducts a 'Divination', a price must be paid.
The extent of the price depends on the diviner and the divined.
