Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, everyone gradually calmed down and spoke:
"Mr. Su Yu, we must have seemed ridiculous... Please forgive our lack of composure."
Su Yu nodded, indicating his understanding.
If one day, his own memory were altered and he couldn’t distinguish between reality and falsehood, he would likely doubt his own existence too.
In his heart, he pondered silently:
"I really don’t know what kind of bizarre ceremony this is, that it actually requires altering the memories of a group of Seven-star and even Eight-star Transcendents to complete..."
Su Yu was extremely curious about this ceremony.
It involves so many Seven-star experts, altering their memories and plotting against their lives.
What kind of ceremony is this?
If this ceremony is completed, what effect would it have?
At the level of a Seven-star Transcendent, the abilities of Spiritual Users are indeed each more magical and bizarre than the last, each ceremony more peculiar.
Su Yu, having seen much of the world and mastered quite a few third-tier professions, was still clueless about this ceremony involving numerous Seven-star Transcendents.
While Su Yu was pondering, the others suddenly underwent a change!
They had all projected that twisted mass of flesh from their memories into the air.
Initially, these were only illusory projections, without any power or substance.
But at this moment, the projected twisted flesh began to slowly become real from a mere shadow!
It seemed as if it wanted to "step out" from past memories.
The twisted mass of flesh from everyone’s memory fused together in the air, becoming larger and more tangible.
In a brief moment, it truly descended upon the gathering hall.
Although much smaller than the previous hill-like form,
its imposing aura was not inferior; by mere feeling, it was clear this entity’s power surpassed Seven-star, possibly even surpassing Eight-star.
"Daring to appear again?"
Seeing this, Su Yu’s expression turned cold, and he was about to activate the Power of Heavenly Punishment to give it a fierce strike.
At present, the space in this gathering hall was stable, allowing for normal battle.
If this twisted flesh exerted its true power, who knew how terrifying it would be? Naturally, Su Yu wanted to strike first to gain an advantage.
However, moments later, Su Yu halted his action, realizing that although this mass of twisted flesh had an intimidating presence, it still lacked authenticity.
Evidently, it still fell short and hadn’t truly stepped out from past memories to descend upon the gathering hall.
At this moment, it was still a shadow.
The twisted flesh, though not entirely real, opened several eyes on the tips of its tentacles, looked at Su Yu, and then made a sound:
"Su Yu, you are discussing Me? Discussing My ceremony?"
"You wish to know what effects My ceremony will have upon completion? What power it could grant Me?"
Seeing that this entity wanted to converse with him, Su Yu replied, "Yes, what is it you wish to say?"
Upon hearing Su Yu’s response, the mass of flesh erupted in earth-shattering laughter: "Hahaha!"
"With your shallowness, how could you possibly comprehend My tremendous power?"
"Discussing among yourselves won’t lead to uncovering the truth, not even in a lifetime!"
It laughed for a while, noticing Su Yu’s expression growing colder, stopped laughing and solemnly said:
"My great ceremony has already ventured into the supreme Time Domain!"
"In Subspace, not only space is in chaos, time is chaotic as well! Utilizing this chaos grants a chance to gain power beyond time!"
"I’ve implanted false past memories into members of the Transcendent Union, thus affecting their Subspace Imprints."
"After the Subspace Imprint changes, through the chaotic nature of Subspace, it will affect the real past! Altering the past!"
"How could you possibly deduce such a supreme Extraordinary Secret?"
"Just wait, once My ceremony is complete, I will become a great Transcender surpassing time..."
"Then, I will control you in the past, and from your very birth, you’ll be subservient to Me! With no possibility of resistance!"
"I could even erase you before you are born!"
Having said these few words, it began to dissipate, returning to an ordinary memory projection.
It seemed its presence was merely to convey these words, revealing the secret of its ceremony to everyone.
And indeed, its secret was shocking enough.
Whether it was Su Yu or the others, all were shaken to the core upon hearing.
This mysterious ceremony involving the twisted flesh actually delved into the Time Domain? Power of Time?
If this entity wasn’t lying, such power would be incredible!
If it indeed succeeded, would it not become invincible?
Everyone understood why its ceremony necessitated altering their memories.
It intended to use falsehood to create reality, altering the past with false memories?
People were implanted with false memories, which were entirely different from actual past events.
But if they genuinely "believed" in these false memories, it would influence their Subspace Imprints.
The Subspace Imprint, being akin to one’s secondary life, also possesses "memory."
If people believed in the false memories, so would their Subspace Imprints.
In Subspace, chaotic not just spatially but also temporally,
the false memories, "planted" in the present,
could exist in the distant past due to the chaotic time within Subspace.
Leveraging this time chaos presents an opportunity to alter the past.
Of course, executing it is not as simple as it sounds.
Undoubtedly, a particular strong, bizarre Extraordinary Ability is needed for coordination.
The twisted flesh’s recent descent from people’s memories is such an ability.
It materializes from the phantom memory, turning illusion into reality.
But its manifestation at the "present" time is hardly remarkable.
If its ceremony succeeded, it could descend from "past" people’s false memories,
traversing time and arriving at the past, thus altering it.
This is the true core secret.
Even though it uses false past memories to change real past events,
such a theory seems fantastical, bordering on absurdity.
But who knows? Extraordinary Ability inherently defies logic; perhaps such a possibility exists!
"This is actually possible..."
Xiao Shengyin and others were tremendously shocked in their hearts.
Thinking about their involvement in such a magical ceremony, their previous terror dissipated.
They even harbored a longing, hoping the ceremony would complete, to witness if such time-transcending power exists!
As Transcendents, the allure of such great power was immense for them.
Even Su Yu was stirred.
Such a power exists? Transcending time?
Using Subspace’s chaos to affect time? Is there such a method?
However, Su Yu quickly regained his composure:
"If this guy were truly that powerful, I would already be dead."
"Even a trace of time power would make it unbeatable for me. Yet earlier, I beat it as if it were nothing. Clearly, its ceremony is far from success."
"Talking a big game."
"However, the theory is interesting, possibly worth exploring..."
Su Yu’s mind whirled, immediately deducing that most of the twisted flesh’s former statements were boastful.
Becoming a formidable existence surpassing time? Certainly not so easily achieved.
Still, its words gave Su Yu a new perspective.
This path might actually hold potential for success!
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a surge of excitement, Power of Time! If he could truly grasp it...
"Don’t even think about running!"
While pondering, Su Yu noticed the twisted flesh starting to dissipate and quickly unleashed an invisible, formless power.
It was his trump card, the Power of Nihility!
Under this mystical power, the mass of flesh only dissolved halfway before suddenly vanishing entirely.
Before completely disappearing, it was transferred by Su Yu into the Nihility Space.
Within the Nihility Space, a half-phantom, half-real mass of flesh quietly remained.
"Captured a fragment of its will, let’s see if it can be used to sense its true form..."
"Perhaps, even explore the mysteries of time through it..."
