In an instant, Mellen and Little Li, guided by the golden ring, traveled through the vast river of time in the universe, walking between the past and the future.

At one moment, three blurry figures appeared in front of Mellen and Xiaoli.

One of them was a silver-haired boy with sharp eyes and a faint flow of time power around him. On his shoulder sat a beautiful girl the size of a fist with silver butterfly wings, who also possessed the flow of time power.

The second was a robust young man, over three meters tall, wearing a sleeveless vest. His exposed skin had a rough texture, and his muscles bulged, exuding a powerful aura. At his feet lay a nine-headed dragon turtle, half a meter tall.

The third was a handsome young man, but compared to the silver-haired boy's eerie appearance and the robust young man's masculinity, he seemed rather ordinary.

Xiao Li said happily, "Master, do you remember what I said before, that when I was born I accidentally went to the future and met a friend with the talent of time travel, and traveled with him for a while?"

Mellen nodded slightly, looked at the silver-haired boy, and said, "Is it him?"

Xiao Li nodded and stretched out her paw to greet the silver-haired boy.

Seeing this strange situation, the three seemed extremely surprised. The silver-haired boy was the first to react and immediately waved excitedly at Xiao Li.

Of course, given the vast distance in time between them, it was already difficult enough for them to meet in this way, and naturally, they couldn't have much further communication.

As time flows by, the scene slowly disappears.

A journey through time, from the past to the future, may seem to take a long time, but in reality, it is just a fleeting moment when Mellen and Little Lisso look at each other.

In that instant, Xiao Li completely digested the Epoch Dao Fruit. This was not only about fusing with the Epoch Dao Fruit to obtain its power, but also about completely absorbing the Dao and principles contained within the Epoch Dao Fruit into a part of herself.

After completing this step, Xiao Li's time-related talent, the Law of the Rings, has grown significantly.

A guiding light appeared, and when Mellen looked up, he saw that the light led to the realm within a realm, the outer heaven, where the two Dao Lords resided.

Without hesitation, Mellen and Xiaoli stepped onto the guiding light together. Before long, they arrived at a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist, where they met two Dao Lords sitting cross-legged.

Mei Lun straightened his clothes, bowed respectfully, and said, "Disciple Mei Lun pays respects to Daoist Jinlun and Daoist Yunxi."

Jinlun Daojun said gently, "Mellen, you did very well, far exceeding our expectations."

Mellen said, "It is thanks to the help of the two Dao Lords that I was able to achieve this much on my own."

Golden Wheel Daoist laughed and said, "Alright, don't be modest. I called you here today for two things..."

Mellen looked on with an expression of eager listening.

The Golden Wheel Dao Lord said, "First, your partner has now obtained the Dao Fruit of the Epoch and become the King of the Epoch, so he has naturally obtained a portion of the Heavenly Dao authority."

Before Jinlun Daojun could continue, Mellen, knowing the situation, said, "This harvest is all thanks to the sect and Daojun. This disciple is willing to offer this harvest to Daojun."

To be honest, the Heavenly Dao Authority seems lofty and powerful, and possessing it would make Mellen the mastermind of the Outer Heavens, but it is of no use to Mellen at all. On the contrary, it is something that the Golden Jade Immortal Sect and the two Dao Lords are determined to obtain.

Rather than keeping it in your hands and having others covet it, it's better to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

Golden Wheel Daoist nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. The second thing is your reward."

"Besides the sect's rewards, I can give you two more options..."

"Firstly, since you have obtained the Dao Fruit of the Epoch, I can reserve a position of the King of the Epoch for you in this universe. With this position, you can obtain power second only to the Dao Lord in the Outer Heavens. In the future, you can see through the illusions and use this as a starting point to embark on a completely new path, just like those previous Kings of the Epoch."

Mellen was deeply moved. The words of the Golden Wheel Dao Lord were essentially reserving a portion of the power of the King of the Era for him, and the King of the Era corresponds to the ninth-order supreme being of the Starry Universe!

This is like a meteoric rise for Mellen!

Of course, there are some obstacles involved.

The King of the Era is essentially born from the unique rule system of the Outer Heavens. If Melon chooses to become the King of the Era, he will naturally have to accept the rules of the Outer Heavens and even make them his own.

Even if Melen can integrate the King of the Era system into himself, it will take a long time. Before that, if Melen does not want to lose his balance, he must give up part of the [Wolf Tamer] profession.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Mellen.

Having figured this out, Mellen let out a breath and asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what is the second option?"

With a faint smile on his lips, Jinlun Daojun said, "I can completely sever the connection between the Epoch Dao Fruit and the Outer Heavens, transforming it into a time-related innate spiritual treasure."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi Daojun, who had been resting with his eyes closed and had no intention of paying any attention to Mellen, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jinlun Daojun.

Feeling the intense gaze of his Daoist partner, Jinlun Daojun's smile froze slightly, but he did not look at the former, instead waiting for Melon's response.

After only a brief moment of thought, Mellen decisively said, "This disciple chooses the second one!"

The Golden Wheel Daoist regained his composure, nodded slightly, and said, "Are you sure?"

Mellen solemnly declared, "Confirmed!"

Golden Wheel Daoist said, "Good!"

After receiving the reply, Mellen paused and said, "Daoist Master, this disciple has another question."

The Golden Wheel Daoist said, "Speak."

Mellen said, "The outer heavens have now entered the end of an era. I wonder if it is possible to restore them?"

The Golden Wheel Dao Lord understood what Melen wanted with just a thought, and said directly, "Alright! The end of the era was forcibly started by you. This unnatural end of the era actually damages the Heavenly Dao. Reconnecting the unfinished time is also beneficial to the Outer Heavens."

As he spoke, Jinlun Daojun waved his hand, and Tianwaitian, which had already entered a state of chaos, paused and began to slowly retreat as if time were flowing backward.

During this process, although the will of the Heavenly Dao became more active, it did not restrain it, but instead fueled the flames.

After observing for a moment, Mellen was filled with amazement.

The powerful beings on the other side can also modify time, but this modification changes the source.

For example, if a powerful being from the other side wants to change the outcome of a burning piece of paper being destroyed, they can go back to before the paper was ignited and intervene at that starting point.

What Jinlun Daojun did at this moment was to directly reverse time, allowing the burning paper to gradually return to its original state in the reversed time.

Theoretically speaking, Mellen should be able to perform similar operations since he has some authority over the Heavenly Dao. However, theory is just theory, and in reality, Mellen is still far from being able to do so.

However, Mellen was not entirely helpless. He released the Epoch Dao Fruit and allowed Golden Wheel Dao Lord to control it.

Jinlun Daojun did not refuse, as having more power would make his recovery easier.

To Mellen's surprise, in this state, he was able to glimpse the Golden Wheel Daoist's application of rules and power. Although he only had a superficial understanding of most of it, the part he could comprehend was enough to benefit him greatly.

Clearly, this was something that Jinlun Daojun did intentionally.

After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Wheel Dao Lord stopped his actions, and the Outer Heaven returned to its state before the start of the End of the Epoch. The only difference was that the End of the Epoch no longer had the Dao Fruit of the Epoch.

One by one, the powerful beings from the other shore came back to their senses. They quickly realized what had happened. Most of them looked pale and lost, but some looked calm and had already accepted the outcome.

The Golden Wheel Daoist said, "If there are still things left undone, then go and do them."

Mellen bowed respectfully, left the Epochal Dao Fruit behind, and then departed from the Realm Within a Realm.

After Mellen left, Daoist Yunxi glared at Daoist Jinlun and said, "You're really generous! Not only did you keep the title of King of the Epoch, but you also had to give away the Dao Fruit of the Epoch!"

For Tianwaitian, accepting the Dao Fruit of the Epoch and becoming the King of the Epoch is essentially like keeping the meat in the bowl and gaining another genius to work for. However, cutting off the Dao Fruit of the Epoch would truly weaken a part of its own cosmic origin, which is equivalent to causing serious injury.

The Golden Wheel Dao Lord played with the Epoch Dao Fruit and laughed, "Such a genius is truly being wasted by being bound to this universe. Don't forget, Mellen comes from the Mountain and Sea Realm of the Starry Universe, which is equivalent to our lineage. Naturally, I must give him the opportunity to choose."

Upon hearing the words "the vast universe of stars and mountains and seas," a rosy glow flashed across Daoist Yunxi's face, and he gave a soft hum, ceasing his argument.

After leaving the Realm Within a Realm, Mellen first sought out Qu Dongchen. In fact, Qu Dongchen was the only one with whom Mellen had made an agreement during the final battle of the era; the others were merely Mellen bluffing.

Mellen's conditions for agreeing to Qu Dongchen's request were simple: the soul magic Nasus had researched, and his friendship.

After the transaction was completed, Qu Dongchen said, "Mellen, we became friends through a fight, and maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Mellen laughed and said, "Indeed!"

Although the powerful beings of the Outer Heavens cannot leave the Outer Heavens now, it is clear to all that this is only a matter of time. When the two Dao Lords completely take control of the Heavenly Dao of the Outer Heavens, that will be the day when the Outer Heavens merges into the Immortal Realm.

Given this premise, it is only natural that the powerful beings on the other side would plan ahead for their own future.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mellen bid farewell to Qu Dongchen and returned to the initial world.

After several decades, his old friends had all gone on to have their own lives. Mellen didn't bother them, after all, he was just a passerby. After confirming that they were doing well, he left.

When the guiding light reappeared, Melen once again arrived at the realm within a realm.

Golden Wheel Dao Lord tossed a palm-sized golden ring to Mellen and said, "This is the Epoch Dao Fruit. Take a look."

Mellen took it and played with it in his hand. At this moment, the golden ring no longer contained the majestic power of the King of the Era, but it had become more pure.

Now is not the time for careful examination. Mellen handed the golden ring to Xiaoli, who swallowed it in one gulp.

Jinlun Daojun said, "Now you should return to the Immortal Realm. Your performance in this training has exceeded expectations, and the sect will naturally bestow generous rewards upon you upon your return."

Chapter 691 True Inheritance Privilege, Enlightenment Ancient Tree

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Mei and Senior Brother Long, for winning first place in this Heavenly Realm trial."

"Yes, yes! It's said that this Heavenly Realm trial is extremely difficult, involving the schemes of sects and Dao Lords, as well as competition among the Yin Yang He Huan Sect. Senior Brother Mellen's achievement of top results under these circumstances is truly remarkable!"

"Brother Long is no less impressive. During my travels through the various worlds beyond the heavens, I often heard legends about Brother Long Zizai!"

"That's right! The extraordinary system of the Outer Heaven this time is quite special. Senior Brother Long and Senior Brother Mellen have reached the peak of the system in a short period of time. That is a level that surpasses True Immortal and is second only to Dao Lord. Such talent is truly admirable!"

"..."

The Celestial Realm, Jade Balance Heaven, Golden Jade Immortal Sect.

At the celebration banquet, the junior disciples showered the audience with praise. Although most of their accounts of the training in the Outer Heavens were hearsay, it did not stop their endless stream of compliments.

Mellen and Long Zizai responded with smiles, while the other ten disciples sat below them, their faces also full of joy.

After their training in the Outer Heavens concluded, the ten outstanding disciples returned to the Golden Jade Immortal Sect and were immediately rewarded by the sect.

The other ten outstanding disciples need no further explanation. Mellen and Long Zi were the only two to achieve the status of disciples of the Other Shore. In addition to some regular rewards, there was an extra reward: they were directly promoted to true disciples.

True disciples of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect hold a status comparable to true immortals and enjoy numerous privileges, making them the goal pursued by every disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect.

In the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, becoming a true disciple is not the only way to become a true immortal. However, almost without exception, those who have become true disciples are all powerful among true immortals, and they have a greater chance of becoming Dao Lords.

Becoming a true disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect has one major advantage: you can sign a special contract with the Enlightenment Tree, which is equivalent to gaining a buff that greatly enhances your comprehension. This allows you to better deduce martial arts techniques, integrate supernatural powers, and build a flawless foundation, making your future path smoother.

Originally, to become a true disciple, one needed to possess a foundation of immortality and great supernatural powers. However, Mellen and Long Zizai displayed extraordinary talent during their training in the Outer Heavens, and with the recommendation of the Golden Wheel Daoist, they were able to be granted an exception.

Currently, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect only has six true disciples, and with these two, there are only eight in total. This is in accordance with the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones".

A few days later, Mellen and Long Zizai arrived at the Inner Palace. Before they could wait long, a colorful cloud descended from the horizon and landed in front of them.

Mellen and Long Zizai stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister Jin."

Jin Hui nodded slightly, carefully examined Mellen, and said, "Not bad."

The newcomer was none other than Jin Hui, the sixth true disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect and a descendant of the Golden Peak Immortal.

The Golden Peak Immortal is the youngest disciple of the Golden Wheel Daoist in the Starry Universe Mountain and Sea Realm. He has long since become a True Immortal and is currently traveling outside.

True immortals have endless lifespans, and when they travel to other universes, it often takes anywhere from a few hundred years to several thousand or even tens of thousands of years, making it not easy to meet them.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mellen and Long Zizai, led by Jin Hui, headed to the true core area of ​​the Golden Jade Immortal Sect. Here were independent blessed lands, inhabited by the sect's true high-ranking figures.

Jin Hui said, "Now that you two have become true disciples, you can choose a blessed land here to cultivate. Each blessed land is different, so you can choose one."

So, Mellen followed Jin Hui while reviewing the information Jin Hui had passed to him.

This sight truly surprised Mellen, because these blessed lands were not only unique in their environment, but also vast in area, with even the smallest covering millions of square kilometers. They were rich in spiritual energy, and due to their special rules, they often gave birth to unique treasures. More importantly, these blessed lands also contained many races and kingdoms, including not only humans, but also other races.

Soon, Mellen set his sights on one of these blessed lands...

The Floating Cloud Court is a world floating in the clouds, inhabited mainly by the Wind Feather Clan, the White Breath Clan, and the Spirit Wind Clan.

In terms of value, all the blessed lands are roughly the same. Mellen chose the Cloud Garden because it could be linked with his Cloud Mountain Cave.

As one of the rewards for the Ten Outstanding Individuals, after Mellen is promoted to a true disciple, his Yunshan Cave will not be taken back, but will be able to be directly taken into the blessed land.

The Cloud Mist Spirit Spring and the Nine Mist Purple Lotus are unique products of the Cloud Mountain Cave, and they are very suitable for the environment of the Floating Cloud Court, where they can grow better.

Along the way, they took care of some trivial matters and soon arrived at a valley.

Jin Hui said, "Stay close to me and don't wander off."

Mellen and Long Zizai quickly agreed.

There is an entrance and exit in the valley, and in front of the entrance and exit is a huge blue stone.

Jin Hui came to the blue stone and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Jin Hui has brought two junior disciples to pay respects to the Spirit Ancestor."

Although Mellen and Long Zizai didn't understand why, they still followed Jin Hui's example and bowed respectfully.

After a while, the blue stone trembled slightly. Jin Hui then got up, gave Mellen and Long Zizai a wink, and then entered the valley first, with the two following closely behind.

The valley is not large, but it looks quite serene. The ground is covered with various flowers and grasses, and colorful clouds float in the air.

To the astonishment of Mellen and Long Zizai, although they did not recognize most of these flowers and plants, the few they did recognize were all rare and precious celestial treasures, and the colorful clouds floating in the air were even condensed into tangible celestial spiritual power.

In the heart of the valley sits an ancient tree. It is not tall, but it has a sense of vicissitude and weight accumulated over the long river of time. On the contrary, every branch and leaf on it is full of unimaginable vitality.
