Chapter 441 A Thousand Years of Enlightenment
Time seemed to have no meaning in Valinor; three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
In recent years, Dui has remained in Swan Harbor, focusing on understanding the mysteries of time.
He also refused the High King Orway's offer to stay, left Orway's palace, and chose to build a cozy and comfortable seaside villa with his family on a beach not far from Swan Harbor.
After all, it's always inconvenient to live in someone else's house, and he also needs a private space of his own to focus on using the time converter to perceive time.
In addition to the materials collected by Dui, Alvin, and Elses' family, Orwell also provided a lot of gemstones for decoration when building the seaside villa.
The mermaids in the sea also provided many treasures such as pearls and corals for decoration.
Although it was only three hundred years, for Dui it was more than a thousand years, far longer than his previous lifespans combined.
He uses the 25 time converters in his hands every day without interruption, and when the last time converter is used up, the first time converter can be reused.
So even when Dui was sleeping, he used the time converter to get through the time, and he didn't waste a single second.
Alvin and Elses were initially shocked to see several husbands/fathers, but gradually got used to it, and even seeing several Duis gathered together to discuss and study magic didn't seem strange to them.
Even Alvin felt a mix of sweetness and bewilderment as her husband made time for her.
She didn't know whether to call her husband a very busy man or a master of time management.
But in the more than a thousand years that the time converter squeezed out, Dui finally gained enough.
He used to use the Time Converter to go back in time, which would exhaust his mental energy and require him to rest for a full six hours before he could use the next Time Converter to comprehend the river of time.
But as he gained more and more insight into time, and his understanding of time deepened, the time it took him to recover his mental energy became shorter and shorter, from six hours to five hours, four hours—and then to one hour.
Moreover, his mental strength is becoming increasingly resistant to the passage of time, or rather, his mental strength is becoming more and more concentrated under the constant erosion of the passage of time, imbued with the essence of time.
This reduced the repulsion of the River of Time towards Dui, allowing him to gain increasingly longer periods of insight within it, extending from the original 5 seconds to 6, 7, and 8 seconds.
Therefore, after using the first time converter, Dui can continue to use the next time converter without resting and without worrying about running out of mental energy.
Correspondingly, Dui's days became longer, and he could even use more than a dozen time-changers in a row to rewind to the past few days.
In this situation, time is no longer of any value to Dui. He can use the time converter in his hand to make his day longer and longer, even to the point that it can be equivalent to a month or a year!
However, Dui did not do this intentionally in order to increase the time.
After all, he has plenty of time now and is not in a hurry to do anything, so he lets things take their course and focuses most of his time on the opportunities for reflection during the retrospective process.
However, as Dui was able to persist for longer and longer periods in the river of time, the two minutes or so of reflection time each day was no longer enough for him.
Another issue is that a time converter can give Dui a clear opportunity to experience the flow of time within 5 seconds during the rewind process.
But such time is too short. Whenever he has an inspiration in the river of time, his enlightenment is suddenly interrupted by the end of time, even though he can immediately enter the river of time again with another time converter.
But this sudden interruption is like being in the climax of a video when the signal is suddenly cut off.
That feeling—it was truly unbearable; several times Dui almost cursed at him.
Having no other choice, Dui decided to make another different time converter.
With the constant backtracking of the time converter, he spent nearly a hundred years and devoted all his efforts to creating an hourglass that could rewind 24 hours.
This hourglass, crafted entirely from gold and flawless crystal, is far larger than the time converter and holds far more sand of time, which quietly accumulates in the crystal bottle at the bottom of the hourglass.
However, if the hourglass is turned upside down, as the sand flows down into the empty bottle, the surrounding time will reverse.
Because of its different shape and time converter, Dui simply called this hourglass a time hourglass.
This hourglass appears to only be able to go back 24 hours, which isn't too long compared to the 5 hours of the time converter.
But its purpose is not to rewind to a longer period of time, but to give Dui more time to reflect.
As Dui inverted the hourglass, the sands of time slowly flowed down into the narrow-necked bottle below, and time began to turn around.
However, unlike the rapid changes that occur when the time converter reverses time, the time hourglass reverses time like a slow-motion scene, where the surrounding environment flows backward at a slow pace.
This allows Dui to clearly see the changes in the surrounding environment with the naked eye.
He didn't look at these things, but immediately extended his mental energy beyond the protection of the hourglass of time, and then he saw the familiar river of time once again.
The river of time is vast and boundless, like an endless torrent, far more magnificent and spectacular than the Milky Way, recording the existence of all things.
Having withstood the erosion of time countless times, Dui's mental resilience against the river of time has been honed, and he has been able to persevere for even longer.
His spirit is like a stubborn rock in the long river of time, now polished to a brilliant shine and unparalleled resilience.
Moreover, after prolonged contact with the power of time, his mental energy was also permeated by the power of time, acquiring the attribute of time.
Since mental power and soul are related, they can be said to be two sides of the same coin. Therefore, after mental power is tainted by the power of time, even the soul begins to be tainted by a trace of the aura of time.
The result was that Dui's understanding and perception of time deepened, and his use of time magic became easier.
For example, the time reversal spell created by Dui can now easily rewind a thousand years, and if he puts in his full effort, he can even reach ten thousand years.
Such abilities are enough to pose a threat to the Maya, elves, and others.
After all, even if Maiar was born as a secondary god, his power would be weakened if he went back thousands of years.
Especially for powerful Maya-level elves like High King Orway of Tyler, Dui might even knock them down from their level and drop them out of the Maya category.
However, Dui was not satisfied yet. He thought that if his magic could instantly rewind tens or hundreds of millions of years, perhaps even Maya could be directly reduced to her original form and it could also affect Vera.
However, to reach that level, in addition to having a sufficiently high level of understanding of time, one also needs even greater power to support it.
Therefore, Dui can only think about it for now.
