Chapter 403 – Cathulhu Learns Time Domain

"Aren't they already dead, munya?"

Curious, Xiaomao summoned Lu Bu's clone to fight as he knew how to defeat the guy. The clone manifested, but he looked and acted differently.

When Xiaomao practiced fighting with the clone, it retained its memory of when it fought Xiaomao. After Xiaomao managed to find a way to defeat it, it adapted to the tactics and changed its strategies.

However, this guy looked dull and lifeless. He stood still like a robot, staring at Xiaomao with wide eyes. Furthermore, he never blinked.

"Blink, motherhumper!!"

Xiaomao yelled at the clone. However, it didn't react. It continued to stare at him, waiting for Xiaomao to take a battle stance.

Disappointed by the clone's reaction, Xiaomao pulled out Wei Huang's katana from his inventory and swung it once.

SWUA

The clone was instantly cut in half. He dissipated into dust without having a chance to fight back.

Xiaomao summoned Xie Tian's clone next. Unfortunately, he got the same reaction – Xie Tian's clone turned into a mindless robot, waiting to receive the first strike from Xiaomao.

"How dullard, munya!"

SWUA

Once more, Xiaomao beheaded the clone and ignored it.

Lilith had been observing Xiaomao. After he stopped summoning the clones, she walked toward the place where the clones appeared and touched the ground. She sniffed it and read Xiaomao's karma.

Then, she discovered something interesting.

"I see that your clone system works differently than your father's. I think your universe has more limitations because you haven't exactly mastered the Law of Time and Space yet."

"What's that, munya?"

"The power of time and space is unique. Its law allows us to manipulate time and space. In short, we can stop, accelerate, and reverse time to some extent. Unfortunately, no one can really time-travel to the past as all attempts only generated a new parallel universe and a new timeline. So far, only Xie Tian, Mao Miaomiao, Mu-Nyang, the sages, the dragons, and I master this law."

Xiaomao frowned as he doubted Lilith's words. If that was true, what about his previous life and his regression? Wasn't that considered time-traveling?

Noticing Xiaomao's expression, Lilith giggled. She borrowed Xiaomao's chaos Qi and created a stone wall. Then, she began carving something into the stones.

At first, it was a drawing and a few words. But after she finished her drawings, the stone walls turned into a secret technique manual that cultivators in novels usually spent decades deciphering it.

Lilith pointed at the stone wall and explained, "In the past, the dragon king discovered the threats and the cons of cultivating the time-and-space law. He split the stones into seven pieces and entrusted them to the seven strongest dragons of each element to protect them, hiding the technique from other dragons. Every guardian brought them back to their perspective home and hid them as instructed. But after some time passed, the stone slabs were passed down to the weaker dragons as heirlooms, and they forgot about the order of the dragon king."

She paused for a moment. Her expression was solemn as she reminisced the past.

"One day, a mortal by the name [Xie Tian] encountered a fire dragon "Firecracker". The dragon coincidentally ran out of lifespan and was on the verge of dying. When Xie Tian showed up in front of the dragon, Firecracker decided to pass down his legacy and corrupted Xie Tian's human blood. That lucky human became a dragonewt and obtained the incomplete secret of the time-and-space."

"Oh? So, the time and space secrets are those drawings and the texts, mom?" Xiaomao finally understood why Lilith told him the story.

"Yes. The seven pieces of murals contained the secret of time and space techniques."

"Let me guess. In the end, Xie Tian ultimately collected all seven pieces, munya?"

"No. Your father killed Xie Tian and stole the mural. He collected all seven pieces afterward and mastered the time and space techniques. Xie Tian from the other timeline invaded our universe later on and their consciousness merged after the Great Reset, but that's another story for another time."

"…"

Xiaomao was interested in Xie Tian's backstories, but he was more interested in the stone wall that Lilith had created. He started reading the texts and admired Lilith's drawings.

Lilith added, "Since your time-and-space mastery is lacking, I'll teach you about it so that your dantian universe's clone functions can operate normally like your father's."

"Awesome, munya! By the way, when can I resurrect Shepherd and others?"

"Not now. Your lifespan is too low. You need at least a million years of lifespan to resurrect a protagonist like Shepherd. As for others, you only need 10,000 at max."

"Oh!"

Learning that he could bring back Alice and Madoka to life, Xiaomao was pumped. He sat down and looked at Lilith with sparkling eyes, "Teach me, sensei!"

"Sure. But before we start our lecture, I need to know a few things. Can you split your consciousness yet?"

"Err, yes. Maybe, munya?"

"Do it for me. Split your consciousness into two. Keep one in your dantian universe while the other one stays with your physical body in the real world. We will need to operate both ways when we're in training."

"…Wow. We can do that?!"

Xiaomao learned a new thing today. He started working on it right away so that he could train while exploring the new game world.

.

.

30 minutes later in the real world, Xiaomao opened his eyes and adjusted to the new senses.

It felt weird controlling two bodies at once. He could see two overlapping images at the same time from four eyes. Moreover, the time dilation between the real world and the dantian universe was one minute to one day, so he sensed everything in the real world in slow motion.

Because of the complications and the difficulty, Xiaomao sat there, spending an additional 30 minutes to get used to the time difference. He took three more hours to get used to the new five senses and the control of his two bodies. Afterward, Xiaomao dragged his feet and peeked outside the tree cave.

It was already nighttime. The sky was dark, and the forest was pitch black.

.

While Xiaomao's physical body was checking outside, Xiaomao in the dantian universe worked hard as well. For 210 days in the dantian universe, he always watered the mysterious seed with his blood before he attended Lilith's lecture.

210 minutes in real life was well-spent. Xiaomao managed to convert one of the chaos element stars into the time-and-space element star! With the element in his arsenal, he could use basic time manipulation domain abilities.

Noticing that Xiaomao had the right star for the new power, Lilith invited Nymph here as a test subject. She ordered him to use his power on her.

"Go ahead and use the time-stop domain. This is the most basic ability of the time law, but you can use it to hinder your opponent's movements or create an opening for your lethal moves. Oh, don't kill her for real. Just stop her movements."

Nymph sweated profusely while she stood still in front of Xiaomao, "T-Take it easy, okay? We still need to make a thousand babies together and populate the sea!"

"Don't worry, wifey. We'll do just that." Xiaomao giggled and rubbed his hands. He bashfully glanced at Lilith and the two moms.

Levy shook her head. Lilim dully stared at him with a poker face while Lilith burst into laughter.

"Don't worry about your mothers. We don't mind if you do something naughty in public."

Meanwhile, James, Peter, Andrew, John, Undine, Yuan Hua, and Magdalene had been watching them. They sat on a long bench, wearing 3D glasses and eating popcorn as if they were watching a movie.

Xiaomao ignored the crowd, but Nymph felt like something was wrong with the mentality of these people. She wanted to cry.

"Here I go, Xiaomao!"

Nymph made a move first. She activated a domain, trapping Xiaomao in a massive bubble of water. However, the pressure of the water was over 50,000 pounds (22.68 ton) per square meter.

But Xiaomao shouted while he was inside Nymph's water bubble.

"ZA WARUDO, MUNYA!"

CLICK-CLICK-CLICK

The entire universe turned grey and dark as no light reflected with their eyes' lenses. Nymph could still feel her surroundings, but she could no longer move. The same also applied to Undine, Levy, and the onlookers, except Lilith and Lilim who had already mastered the power of time.

Xiaomao pushed the water mass aside and strode toward Nymph. He walked around her and giggled.

"Wifey, I have a play that I always wanted to try. Can I use it on you tonight, munya?"

Nymph sweated profusely. She opened her mouth to talk, but no word came out.

"I take that as a yes, munya."

Xiaomao turned to his mentors. He asked Lilith for permission, "Can I take a break early today, munya? I… kinda… have a father duty to perform, munya."

Lilith rolled her eyes, "Fine. Come back to class early tomorrow. Also, keep it quiet because the others also live in the same mansion."

"Okay, munya!"

Xiaomao transformed his wings into tentacles. He grabbed Undine from the crowd and princess-carried Nymph. Then, he ran to the mansion with the two mermaids in tow. Along the way, he found Lucky in the garden, meditating. He respected her and left her alone.

Xiaomao never dismissed his time domain. While Undine and Nymph couldn't move, he stripped their clothes and performed a father's duty.

Undine and Nymph could do nothing but allow Xiaomao to violate their bodies for hours.

After a while, the time domain ran out of energy, and the two mermaids could move again. However, the nostalgic experience returned as the delayed sensation attack hit them.

Both mermaids' voices could be heard from outside. The four subordinates wryly smiled in envy while Yuan Hua and Magdalene blushed. As for the moms, they shook their heads.

"Like father, like son."
