Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 385 - 313 Deadlock

Chapter 385: Chapter 313 Deadlock

"The present world and this otherworld before us are connected through the Immortal Gateway," Lin Xing declared.

"And the rampant malevolent energy in this world is actually because someone has redirected the malevolent energy from our world here."

"The one who accomplished this earth-shattering feat is none other than a peerless power within Kunlun."

"Alas, the founder of the Immortal Palace had long since perished at the hands of Kunlun, and the current generation within the Immortal Palace knows very little about them."

"The great task the Immortal Palace must undertake is to re-infuse half of this realm’s malevolent energy back into the present world..."

At this time, the youth, after countless lifetimes of struggle, had developed a profound understanding of both the present world and the otherworld.

"After the present world lost its malevolent energy, the problem wasn’t just that the people became too weak. A more serious issue was that, without that burst of violent energy, society as a whole lacked the impulse for change and had gradually become stagnant."

"In this realm, the increased malevolent energy led to ceaseless chaos and a lack of a stable social environment over the past century."

"The approach of the Immortal Palace is correct. With the imbalance of malevolent energy, one world becomes too stable, and the other too chaotic—both states are abnormal."

With increasing knowledge of both worlds, the youth made his judgment and resolved to take action in secret.

He knew he must not only cure Lin Xing’s loss of control but also join the Immortal Palace Leader in great endeavors to change the environments of both worlds.

And so time passed unnoticed with both of them learning and researching until the day when Lin Xing once again lost control arrived.

Faced with a suddenly berserk Lin Xing, the youth and the Immortal Palace Leader tried to suppress him together.

It was during this battle that the Immortal Palace Leader glimpsed a secret within Lin Xing.

"His current abilities do not originate from himself."

"This power is too great, so much so that he cannot bear it, causing a severe collapse of his mental state and personality..."

"If he continues to rampage, he will inevitably precipitate a complete disintegration of his consciousness and fall into death..."

Even knowing this, under the increasingly uncontrollable and ferocious power of Lin Xing, both men were steadily pushed back, struggling to hold on.

"Go!" the Immortal Palace Leader shouted, blocking Lin Xing’s attack, and roared towards the youth, "At this moment, his spiritual thoughts and physical strength are relentless, and his realm is about to breakthrough to the fourth transmission!"

"If we continue to fight like this, we will both die."

"I will hold him off—you must go down the mountain and contact the other disciples..."

The youth looked at the Immortal Palace Leader who was willing to sacrifice himself for cover and cried out as he met Lin Xing head-on.

Tears shimmered in his eyes, "Master, it’s okay."

"I will definitely stop Lin Xing."

"I will save both worlds."

With those words, he threw a fierce punch at Lin Xing, "Lin Xing! Wake up!"

With the collision of their Gang Qi, a blinding light completely engulfed the battlefield.

...

Upon being reborn once more, the youth did not feel discouraged, for he sensed that with his increasing understanding, he was getting closer to the day when he would cure Lin Xing.

The experiences at the Immortal Palace also gave rise to a new goal in his life and planted the bond of master and disciple between him and the Immortal Palace Leader.

Thus, in lifetimes to come, the youth tirelessly brought Lin Xing to study under the Immortal Palace Leader to learn knowledge and strengthen their Mana.

"Relying solely on myself and secret research from life to life, the efficiency is still too low."

"Master is a scholar of heaven and earth. If he could oversee the research..."

Confident in his own abilities and having built up trust in the Immortal Palace Leader over countless lifetimes, there finally came one life... he disclosed all the powers of himself and Lin Xing to the other, hoping to find a way to stop Lin Xing’s loss of control together.

It was from this life on, with the support of the Immortal Palace Leader, that research on Lin Xing indeed made significant progress.

"Lin Xing’s loss of control stems from that unexpectedly powerful force."

"The practice of any martial skill can lead to changes in temperament, but only sufficient time, a strong will, and a resilient spirit can suppress these changes to the minimum."

"Yet, Lin Xing, having suddenly acquired such tremendous power, could not adapt or endure it mentally, leading ultimately to his collapse..."

"Remember, Lin Xing’s power comes from the future, not the past."

"You must take this information to my next life so I can help come up with a solution to this problem."

Listening to the Immortal Palace Leader, the youth nodded and, amidst the struggle with Lin Xing, moved on to his next life.

...

Though they had finally found the root cause of the problem afflicting Lin Xing, finding a solution was still not easy—they had to try one method after another.

The bad news was that each attempt, if unsuccessful, led to death.

But the good news was... he could die countless times.

Thus, various methods were put into practice.

At first, they tried to enhance Lin Xing’s spirit and soul, trying to give him enough will to wield the sudden surge of power.

After repeated failures, they chose another method.

By transforming Lin Xing’s body, they aimed to restrict his combat power when out of control, in order to gain more information about his body after he lost control... to use for his treatment in the next life.

Initially, they only weakened Lin Xing’s muscles and viscera, but later began to diminish his physique and mental capacity, and eventually even started implanting various poisons within him...

...

Looking at Lin Xing’s severed limbs, the young man clenched his fists so hard that blood slowly seeped from his mouth.

Lin Xing, however, tried to smile nonchalantly, "It’s all right. Once you’re reborn, won’t everything return to as it was before?"

The young man looked at him intently and said, "Lin Xing, I will definitely cure you."

...

"You’re going to scoop out Lin Xing’s brain?"

Suppressing the rage in his heart, the young man said, "That’s too cruel."

The Immortal Palace Leader, however, looked at him and said, "It was you who told me, in the last life, even severing his limbs and depriving him of all senses couldn’t stop his slaughter, it only made him more insane."

"Now only by extracting his brain can we be sure to control him."

"Only by controlling him can we understand through observing his brain and Primordial Spirit, precisely how that power emerged in his mind, and how it affects him, shattering his consciousness."

The young man said reluctantly, "But... but this way, Lin Xing is in too much pain."

"One who aims to accomplish great deeds should not get mired in trivialities." The Immortal Palace Leader laid a hand on the young man’s shoulder and said, "Disciple! Think about the grand undertaking we are destined to accomplish! Millions of lives are waiting for us to save them."

"Besides, as soon as you’re reborn, Lin Xing will return unscathed and won’t remember any of the pain he endured in this life!"

...

"What are you doing!"

"Let go of me!"

"Brother Hai! Save me! Save me, please!"

Watching Lin Xing, who hadn’t practiced martial arts or spells, brought here this lifetime.

Watching as he was thrown high into the air.

Watching as his body was slowly torn apart by the many experts of the Immortal Palace.

Listening to the relentless screams of agony.

The young man stood still, as the murderous intent around him seemed to solidify into reality, sending chills down the spines of all the surrounding experts.

Roar!

The next instant, the young man could no longer hold back; he rushed forward, his overwhelming Gang Qi blasting all the Immortal Palace experts away.

Bang!

The Immortal Palace Leader allowed himself to be pressed to the ground, looking up at him quietly, and after a long time said, "Have you vented enough?"

"If so, get lost."

"Don’t impede us here."

...

"Continue the suppression!"

"Right now he has only a brain and surely cannot break through the restriction of this Array."

On the day Lin Xing lost control, his brain was repeatedly analyzed by the Immortal Palace.

Finally, before Lin Xing could reconstitute his body with Supreme Power and slay everyone, the Immortal Palace acquired more information.

"I’m about to die, but as long as you bring this information back to the next life, then all of this will have meaning."

"Lin Xing, unable to bear that power from the future, would not only face the collapse of his consciousness, but that power would also split into three."

"One part remained within him, which granted him the ability to reverse time."

"The other two parts, because he couldn’t bear them, leaked out."

"One part traveled back ten years and entered your body, which is the power of rebirth."

"That is to say..." The other man gripped his shoulder tightly: "Disciple, if Lin Xing’s loss of control were cured, if he could exert complete control over that power at the very moment it struck..."

"Then the two parts of power wouldn’t have escaped from his body."

"And you wouldn’t have the power of rebirth in you from ten years ago."

"The foundation of your existence now would be gone."

"Without the power of rebirth, you would not be able to cure him."

"This is a paradox."
