"Ye Ling..."
Bai Lan repeated Ye Ling's name several times before saying to him, "I've remembered your name, and I won't forget it!"
"Then I thank you in advance!" Ye Ling chuckled.
"Heh heh... You're welcome. By the way, Ye Ling, where should we go next?"
"I followed a giant bird to find this place. That giant bird should know something about you. Let's wait for it to return and get some information from it."
"Okay... By the way, I've always been curious, why don't you speak? Why do you always transmit your voice to me? Aren't we face to face?" Bai Lan tilted her head and asked again.
"This world is quite special. The time in the entire world is stagnant, and sound cannot be transmitted. Communicating with you through voice transmission is the easiest method."
"Then why can I speak?"
"You are an exception. As for why you are so special, I am also very curious."
"Oh..." Bai Lan nodded subconsciously, then stopped asking and just stared blankly at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling and Bai Lan were not familiar with each other, and for a while, they didn't know what topics to find. So, they simply looked at each other.
The two of them quieted down at the edge of the basin, and the atmosphere between them became a bit awkward and inexplicable.
Even for a man like Ye Ling, who had seen countless grand scenes, this strange atmosphere was somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. The giant bird returned with a cartload of light stones and dumped them in the center of the basin.
"What a huge bat!"
Seeing the giant bird, Bai Lan's mouth widened in surprise, clearly seeing such a creature for the first time.
"Wait here. I'll deal with the giant bird!"
Seeing the giant bird return, Ye Ling felt as if he had seen a savior. He immediately soared into the sky and flew towards the giant bird.
Although the giant bird was massive, its strength was not great. It was a typical case of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Ye Ling did not expend any effort and easily suppressed the giant bird on the pile of light stones.
The giant bird clearly did not expect such a powerful person as Ye Ling to appear. Panic flashed in its huge eyes, and it flapped its wings frantically. However, no matter how it struggled, its massive body was firmly pressed onto the pile of light stones, unable to move.
"Let me see what secrets you have!"
Ye Ling suppressed the giant bird and immediately invaded its soul to search for its memories.
"This beast is actually a subordinate of the Primal Time King?"
After reading the giant bird's memories, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, and he subconsciously looked in Bai Lan's direction.
However, when Ye Ling thought of Bai Lan's special situation, he felt that it was not strange for the Primal Time King to target Bai Lan.
As the master of the Void Realm, the Primal Time King had brought the time of the entire world to a standstill, but only Bai Lan was not affected by time. If he were the Primal Time King, he would also target Bai Lan.
This giant bird was merely a small fry under the Primal Time King and did not possess any useful value in itself.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Ye Ling deleted the giant bird's memories of him, then returned to Bai Lan's side and let the giant bird leave.
"You're so amazing. You subdued such a big bat so easily!" Bai Lan immediately exclaimed when Ye Ling returned, gaining a new understanding of him.
"It's simple. I can do even more amazing things. If you want to learn, you can become my disciple, and I can teach you," Ye Ling said with a smile, not forgetting his mission to take on disciples.
"I'll consider it!" Bai Lan nodded and began to seriously consider Ye Ling's suggestion.
"By the way, you only suppressed that bat for a while and then left. Did you get any useful information?"
"Yes... It's a subordinate of the Primal Time King, specifically responsible for providing energy for your seal."
Ye Ling shared the information he had obtained with Bai Lan and then asked, "Do you have any impression of the Primal Time King?"
"I don't know him." Bai Lan shook her head. "Is he very powerful?"
"Well... he's quite powerful. In this world, he's the boss," Ye Ling replied, his answer within his expectations.
"Why would someone so powerful bring me here?" Bai Lan was still confused. "Even if they wanted to kidnap me, there's no reason to bring me to another world! I'm just an ordinary high school student."
"To figure this out, we'll probably have to find the Primal Time King. However, Bai Lan, you don't seem to have a clear understanding of yourself."
Even the high school students in various universes who were tasked with saving the world probably wouldn't be qualified to be targeted by the Primal Time King.
However, Ye Ling could not see through the many mysteries surrounding Bai Lan at the moment. He decided to find the Primal Time King first.
Spreading his divine sense, Ye Ling found the nearest city and said to Bai Lan, "Let's enter the city first. I'm also new to this world, so I need to understand it better."
"Okay, I'll follow you." Bai Lan was also eager to know what this new world was, so she did not refuse Ye Ling's suggestion.
"By the way, after we enter the city, don't speak. Even if you want to communicate with others, you can only use sign language."
"Why?"
"You are the only exception in this world. If you want to be treated as an anomaly and cause a sensation in the city, then you can speak."
"I understand... But what if I don't understand the language and sign language of this world?"
"I'll teach you on the way. Let's go."
Ye Ling lifted Bai Lan with his spiritual power, soared into the sky, and flew towards the nearest city.
On the way, Ye Ling taught Bai Lan the basic knowledge of this world and the sign language he had learned from the miners.
Bai Lan was indeed a genius. Whatever Ye Ling taught her, she could remember it after one try and master it after the second.
After Bai Lan learned the sign language knowledge that Ye Ling had instilled into her mind in less than a minute, Ye Ling tried to let Bai Lan comprehend the Great Dao of Time and Space.
Bai Lan did not disappoint Ye Ling. She also displayed astonishing talent in the way of time and space.
Ye Ling had only given Bai Lan a wisp of the Dao essence of time and space. Ordinary people who received that wisp of Dao essence might vaguely sense the existence of time, but Bai Lan, using that wisp of Dao essence, directly began to enlighten.
By the time Ye Ling brought Bai Lan to the outskirts of the city, Bai Lan had basically mastered the Great Dao of Time and Space.
If it weren't for the time and space in the Void Realm being affected by the Primal Time King's power, Bai Lan would have already been able to travel through time.
Seeing Bai Lan's terrifying speed in mastering the Great Dao of Time and Space, and recalling the difficulties he had experienced when comprehending the Great Dao, Ye Ling truly felt the gap between people.
If Mu Bai was a scientific genius whose intelligence could rival the Primal Wisdom King, then this Bai Lan... her attainments in the way of time and space were no less than the Primal Time King.
Previously, Ye Ling had successfully dealt with the Primal Wisdom King with the help of Mu Bai. Now, he saw hope in dealing with the Primal Time King through Bai Lan.
As long as Bai Lan was willing to help, her sixth-grade cultivation was not a problem for Ye Ling.
Now, if Ye Ling wished, he could make Bai Lan a powerful being comparable to, or even surpassing, the supreme powerhouses in a very short period!
