Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 742 - 387: River of Time

Lu Yu stood on the fragmented ground, looking around. The world was shattered, with broken land floating in the air, surrounded by chaotic streams of mixed colors.

He saw many people trapped on broken lands, drifting with the fragments.

The world is broken, but for humans, it’s not entirely a bad thing, since many strange and evil creatures are trapped in other fragments, unable to escape.

Of course, there are also unlucky ones, alone on a fragment crowded with peculiar and malevolent beings.

Lu Yu was lucky; there were no strange creatures on his fragment.

Suddenly, he noticed a nearby fragment swallowed by the chaotic stream, disappearing from view.

At first, he thought it was a temporary submersion, but after waiting a long time, the fragment never reappeared.

His heart sank, realizing that if the ground beneath him disappeared, he too would vanish here.

More and more fragments disappeared, and more people discovered this potential danger.

As the broken world fragments disappeared, the Martial Cultivators and strange creatures within them also vanished.

Through observation, Lu Yu discovered the pattern of the fragments disappearing; the ones ahead disappeared faster. A few times, he saw world fragments disappear, and those fragments were always in front of Lu Yu.

All the world fragments were in this long river, flowing downstream, and as they flowed, some world fragments simply vanished.

Others also began trying to move upstream to other world fragments.

Though many were swept into the temporal streams after leaving their fragments, there were survivors who managed to move to safer fragments.

Soon, someone noticed that the fragment Lu Yu was on was a bit unusual.

All world fragments were flowing downstream, except for the one beneath his feet, which remained stationary like an island in a river.

Lu Yu himself noticed this. After some thought, he attributed the reason to the Core of Space-Time in his hand.

He had tried. The space power of the Void Star couldn’t affect the world fragment beneath his feet; the spatial disturbance around was too severe.

So, the only explanation for this phenomenon was the Core of Space-Time in his hand.

People began approaching Lu Yu, using the broken ground, stone pillars, and rocks floating in the air to get closer step by step.

Before long, someone discovered a safe pattern for moving through the chaotic temporal streams.

The danger of being swallowed by temporal streams during movement was significantly reduced.

Bang! A piece of fragment flowed downstream, hitting the fragment Lu Yu was on. Instantly, both fragments shattered, and the ground beneath Lu Yu’s feet was reduced by a third.

The people on the other fragment hurried to his "island"; their world fragment was already smashed.

If they couldn’t reach Lu Yu’s island, they would fall into the endless chaotic streams.

With a swoosh~ before the ground beneath vanished completely, the two people on the world fragment ran to the fragment where Lu Yu was, luckily surviving.

The two stood on the other side of the broken ground, cautiously watching Lu Yu.

Lu Yu glanced at the two, saying nothing, implicitly allowing them to stay.

Though the ground beneath his feet lost a third, the area was still large enough for fifteen to twenty people to squeeze in.

More than the "island" underfoot, Lu Yu was more concerned about the strange creatures on other fragments.

He discovered that when the strange creatures disappeared along with the fragments, a peculiar force would emerge from where they vanished.

That kind of power was different from regular Soul Power.

Lu Yu realized he might have a chance to obtain the Flower of Oblivion.

As long as all the strange creatures on other fragments disappeared with the world, the Soul Power would condense to a singular point.

Once that happened, the Flower of Oblivion, symbolizing the destruction of the world, would be born.

He just needed to wait patiently, as from the looks of it, the fragment beneath him was highly probable to be the last to disappear.

Bang~ someone passed through the temporal stream and landed on Lu Yu’s island. That person glanced at the two who luckily crashed onto the island earlier, moved to one side, and cautiously observed Lu Yu.

Everyone’s world fragments were flowing downstream, except for this one, which remained still. Clearly, there was an issue somewhere.

He was searching for the "problem." Since this "problem" could allow a world fragment to safely stay in the timestream, protecting himself from dying in the timestream shouldn’t be too difficult.

More and more people arrived on Lu Yu’s island, and it became crowded.

Everyone who had the ability to find gaps, navigate through temporal streams, and reach here, was not to be underestimated. Those without the strength had long perished in the streams or were killed by strange creatures.

Lu Yu looked at the seven or eight people on the island. As he glanced around, he realized that only so many people had survived.

Further away, it was impossible for them to come over.

The area that could squeeze in more than ten or twenty people now held seven or eight, and it wasn’t too crowded. Yet, everyone was wary of each other, keeping a distance, with no one willing to stand at the "island’s" center, mentally feeling the island was a bit crowded.

Ideally, he would be the only one here.

Many shared this thought, as no one knew when others might attack them.

The first person to reach the "island" had already noticed that Lu Yu seemed to be hiding something in his arms. Although Lu Yu tried hard to conceal it, the glow and pulsation from the Core of Space-Time still caught his attention.
