Chapter 419 The Heaven-Defying Reversal Effect
He tried to push it back.
That instant.
Mana Points —
20% disappeared.
Nearly two million mana points were drained in less than a tenth of a second!
Lin Tian could even sense the immense energy surging out of his body, flowing upstream along the line he was holding, and pouring into the unknown void beyond the anchor point!
He glanced sharply at the time display.
【22:34:12】
The numbers didn't change.
wrong.
He activated [Reverse Tide] at 22:34:12.
He walked for ten seconds at ten times the flow rate, and the time jumped to 22:34:13.
He walked for a while longer and then jumped again.
At this moment—the instant he touched that line—
The time displayed was clearly [22:34:12].
It's not stagnation. It's not immutability.
It's a step backward.
从22:34:15，退回到22:34:12。
three seconds.
He flicked the wire, pushing the time forward by three seconds.
Lin Tian was stunned.
He looked down at his hands.
The silver thread had been loosened by him and was visibly returning to its original state.
The anchor point continued to rotate slowly, seemingly unaware of everything that had just happened.
He instinctively reached out again.
This time, he pinched a small section in front of the anchor point—the position representing the "next two seconds".
Push it forward.
Mana plummeted again! Nearly 20% evaporated instantly!
Time display —
【22:34:14】
从22:34:12，跳到了22:34:14。
Fast forward two seconds.
Lin Tian stood in the still moonlight, looking down at his hands, then up at the faintly visible silver thread, at the constantly rotating anchor point, and at the time display, which was still frozen at 22:34:14.
He was silent for a long time.
Then, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
"Ha ha......"
The laughter was soft, as if it were disbelief, or as if it was something that couldn't be suppressed.
"Hahahaha—"
He looked up at the moonlit night sky and finally laughed.
"This skill... is invincible."
His voice was filled with undisguised excitement, and even a hint of youthful spirit that he rarely showed.
"Can you rewind time? Can you fast forward time?"
He looked down at the line again, his eyes shining with an astonishing light.
"What the hell does this mean?!"
He had never lost his composure like this before.
From the moment he transmigrated into this world, from the moment he acquired that extraordinary talent, from the moment he gradually rose to his current position—he has always remained calm, composed, and even somewhat indifferent.
No matter what enemy he faced or what treasure he obtained, he would at most nod slightly and say, "Not bad."
But at the moment.
He looked at the line, at the anchor point, at the timeline he could manipulate at will.
For the first time, he felt—
This game is really starting to get interesting.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions.
Don't be too greedy.
Although his mana is recovering at an astonishing rate, those two flicks just now drained nearly two million mana each time.
At his current response speed, it would take at least a few seconds to replenish.
Moreover... he had a vague feeling.
The more you move the timeline, the more mana it consumes.
He just tried small adjustments of two or three seconds.
If he wanted to go back one minute? One hour? One day?
The amount of mana required would probably be astronomical.
"However..." Lin Tian looked at the silver thread and muttered to himself, "We'll talk about the future later."
He already has more than enough.
A god-level skill that allows him to enter a time flow rate ten times faster.
A special ability that allows him to manipulate the timeline to a small extent.
At this stage, it is an absolute trump card that allows him to handle any crisis with ease.
His mind stirred slightly.
【Against the Tide】—Termination.
That instant.
The frozen moonlight began to flow again, cascading down like a waterfall.
The petals of the Night Shadow Flower, suspended in mid-air, drifted down, swirling and falling into the grass.
In the distance, the footsteps of the night patrolmen sounded again, "tap, tap," rhythmic and unhurried.
The summer insects continued to chirp.
The world has returned to its original rhythm.
Lin Tian stood in the center of the courtyard, moonlight bathing his shoulders.
He glanced down at the time display.
【22:34:17】
From initiation to termination, he remained in the [Reverse Tide] state for approximately fifty seconds—equivalent to five seconds passing in the outside world at ten times the flow rate.
Those two actions of adjusting the timeline changed three seconds into the past and two seconds into the future.
But the anchor point remains at 22:34:12.
He is the unchanging origin.
Lin Tian slowly exhaled and turned off the pale silver skill icon from his mind.
The acquisition of the god-level [random skill book for this profession] has far exceeded his expectations.
......
Under the moonlight, Lin Tian slowly withdrew his fingertips that had been touching the laws of time.
The silver thread had vanished, the anchor point sinking into the depths of consciousness, as if the crazy experiment of reversing three seconds and fast-forwarding two seconds was nothing more than a fleeting illusion as the night wind swept through the courtyard.
But the light silver icon in the skill list is real.
The mana deficit was recovering at a visible speed—replenishing the mana that had been depleted by the experiment.
Lin Tian looked down at his hands.
The sensation of moving the timeline still lingers on my fingertips.
It wasn't the feeling of touching a physical object; it was more like... grasping some indescribable yet real "rule itself".
"Time..." he murmured to himself.
This was the first time he had truly touched the power of this dimension.
It doesn't calculate damage through system-assigned skill values, nor does it channel energy through spellcasting actions; instead, it directly and personally—stirs the pulse of the world.
This experience is very unfamiliar.
It's also...addictive.
Lin Tian stood still for a moment, suppressing the lingering feeling in his heart.
The night is still long. There are still a few items in my backpack that I haven't dealt with.
He sat back down on the stone bench.
Under the moonlight, two silver-gray scrolls floated silently above his palm.
This is the [SS-level skill fusion scroll].
When Lin Tian's thoughts touched the surface, information appeared:
[SS-Rank Skill Fusion Scroll]
Rank: SS
Type: Consumables/Skill Creation
Effect: After use, it can fuse the three S-level skills (or three S-level skill books) that you have mastered to generate a brand new SS-level skill.
The success rate of fusion is related to the attribute correlation and system compatibility of the selected skill. The current scroll has been influenced by an unknown force, which can greatly increase the fusion success rate (the base success rate is no less than 70%).
A failed fusion will not consume the skills or skill books used as materials, but the scroll will disappear.
The newly generated skill will always be of SS rank. Its effects, attributes, cooldown, and consumption will be enhanced and reorganized based on the characteristics of the original skill, and there is a chance to awaken additional characteristics.
Note: Creation is sometimes closer to the source of power than inheritance.
