"I can't believe you already have such a good handle on the time power, so much so that you could
even reverse time," said Paul's will in an astonished tone. It seemed that Ricky's talents had impressed
the will greatly, and the will had come to admire him as well.
"I am honored, sir," Ricky demurely answered, slightly bowing his head in respect.
"On top of that, you even took down the Dark Land Blood Mutant's owner, which emphasized how
incredibly powerful you are. All these things showed that you are indeed Paul's most suitable
successor,"
Paul's will added further.
After that, the will ushered Ricky gently toward a space overflowing with time power.
The Rocks of Heaven and Earth had fused with the arena itself. From an outside perspective, it
seemed like everything had gone back to normal, as no one could see what was happening inside the
arena.
Seeing this, all the saints that had gathered outside the ancient battlefield immediately spurred their
men to prepare. "Get ready, men! As soon as Ricky steps out of there, we will swoop in and take the
inheritance from him. But make sure to keep him alive! After all, he took down an enemy with the
extreme evil mutant, and we can say that he had done a good thing for the continent."
Mounting tension and thrill settled over the outer areas of the ancient battlefield, as Paul's inheritance
had caught the full attention of all the warriors.
"The time power in this place is incredible! It feels like I can be immortal here," Ricky excitedly noted
once he had entered the space.
He sensed that the primitive time power in this space and the time power he had in his Time Zone were
pretty much in the same league.
He initially thought that his Time Zone was the most primitive of its kind and that it had the most
primitive time power. However, to his surprise, the time power here turned out to be as primitive as that
in his Time Zone.
That indicated how high Paul's level was in terms of time power.
"This is the space Paul left behind before he died, and he also left his inheritance here. However,
before you accept the inheritance, there is one more thing required of you.
You need to make a Martial Arts Oath,"
Paul's will stated with a somber expression. "Of course, sir. What is it about?"
Ricky curiously inquired. "You need to swear that you will never show mercy to the devil race. When
they invade our home, you must eliminate them without hesitation,"
Paul's will urged him in a serious tone. "I don't see any problem with those conditions.
Okay, I swear it!" agreed Ricky at once, promising just as Paul's will asked.
Afterward, Paul's will unleashed an invisible power, and the time power in the space surged and
swelled like an ocean wave.
Before long, a River of Time emerged, although Ricky could tell that Paul had created it since it looked
short.
After all, the real River of Time was endless. "Paul had created this River of Time, and inside it, you can
find everything about him including his experience and comprehension of martial arts," revealed Paul's
will.
"In short, this River of Time contains his inheritance. If you want to get it, you will need to travel from
the beginning to the end of this river. However, I cannot tell you how much you can comprehend from
this journey, for it all depends on your luck and talent,"
Paul's will went on. "Can you tell me how long this journey will take?" asked Ricky.
"It could take you at least three to five years," answered Paul's will. "What?!
You mean I need to spend at least three years here?!" Ricky exclaimed in utter shock. This was an
unexpected setback because, frankly, Ricky couldn't afford to wait for another three years.
In fact, he had already planned to become a demi-saint or even a saint in five years.
He debated the worthiness of this venture in his mind, and he felt on the fence about it.
Should he waste three years for Paul's inheritance when he already activated the Time Zone?
"Don't fret! The time in this space flows differently compared to the outside world. Five years in this
place corresponds to a month outside. So even if you spent ten years here, only two months would
have gone by outside. That means you will only have to stay for about twenty days if you complete your
journey in three years here,"
Paul's will explained immediately. "That's incredible!" remarked Ricky, looking even more astounded
when he heard this piece of information.
"So you don't have to worry about how long the journey on the River of Time could take. And I think it
will be worth it even if you have to spend a thousand years on this journey. After all, a spiritual
potentate's inheritance is nothing to scoff at," Paul's will reassured Ricky.
"Of course, you are right, sir." An awkward smile twisted Ricky's lips because it seemed that Paul's will
had read his mind, and he didn't mean to belittle Paul's inheritance.
He didn't dare to speak frankly for fear that, if he did, he could offend Paul's will.
"This Paul sounds like an amazing guy! He was able to create a place where time flowed differently
from the outside. It's no wonder he was the best warrior in ancient times. This is a good thing for you,
Ricky," the Dragon Intent Grass chimed in.
"I hope this inheritance would make a great difference in my comprehension of time!"
Ricky remarked with a hopeful look. "It's time to enter the River of Time," Paul's will suddenly said,
interrupting Ricky's train of thought.
"If you can comprehend at least half of Paul's inheritance, I will give you a reward." "Wow, really?! I
wonder what it is. Anyway, I'll go now and try to comprehend as much inheritance as I can," Ricky
immediately answered.
It seemed that the reward mentioned had excited him, for his face lit up with an eager expression. The
very next moment, Ricky leaped into the River of Time, where he witnessed Paul's birth as soon as he
got in.
He found that Paul was from the Wangu Clan, which was one of the most influential clans in ancient
times.
Similar to Ricky, Paul possessed the Time Mutant and was gifted with the ability to control time.
Paul used his talent wisely and rose to fame rapidly.
With the Time Mutant, he became proficient in controlling time and using it to his advantage. By the
end of his life, he had become the most powerful warrior of that era.
The River of Time revealed Paul's whole life to Ricky.
If he witnessed everything that happened to Paul, it would be as if he had experienced Paul's life first-
hand. Only through this could Ricky have the chance to learn Paul's insights on the time power and
master his inheritance.
'This young man possesses seven kinds of mutants, including the Time Mutant. He is an
unprecedented genius! I believe that, someday, he can grow to be more powerful than Paul. However,
no one in this era has reached the Potentate Level. Can he surpass Paul? Perhaps, he can succeed as
long as someone gives him a hand,'
Paul's will while observing Ricky, who was currently exploring the River of Time.
Time flew by quickly. Ricky didn't notice that two years had passed by in the River of Time, as he had
been too immersed in Paul's life.
He actually took the understanding of Paul's comprehension of time in stride, perhaps, due to the fact
that he already possessed the Time Mutant.
At present, his understanding of time power had greatly improved.
Ricky could not only reverse time now, but he could also accelerate its flow.
On top of that, he also learned a new set of techniques related to time, which Paul had once cultivated
and used.
Although he also had a martial skill related to time in the Time Zone, Ricky decided to study Paul's
skills instead.
After all, no one would refuse to learn a spiritual potentate's cultivation methods.
'It looks like I need to know Paul's entire life before I can acquire that complete version of the time-
related technique he had once cultivated.
Judging by how challenging it is to acquire, it could highly likely be his real inheritance,' Ricky thought
to himself.
