The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 219 Single-player Dungeon

"People, you don't need to worry now. Look, their time is frozen in today until I decide to release them from the great lock of time, then time will continue to flow."

"Before this, nothing can be changed; history is irreversible."

"And your first task is to learn the formula for stopping time."

"This is the simplest of the twelve formulas, and it also requires the least effort. The further you go, the more difficult it will become to practice and apply it."

"But you don't need to worry, I will always be by your side to guide you."

"While I'm in seclusion, you practice the laws of time, and I'll recover my body. Together, we'll work hard until we return to the past and blast those pseudo-star brats away."

"Whenever I think of that scene, my blood boils with excitement..."

Ayun's thoughts drifted away as she talked to herself, beginning to imagine the future.

Under A-Yun's control, the time compass in the villa's hall completed the "time stop" formula and then began to shrink rapidly.

After being expanded, it can occupy the entire hall space of the villa, with a diameter of approximately 12 meters.

It took only five or six seconds to shrink to the size of a steamed bun.

The shrunken time compass, from its virtual appearance, condensed into a tangible form, and with a clear purpose, leaped directly towards the stairs where Li Can was standing.

"Here you go, man. This will be your spellcasting tool from now on. No matter how well you master the first formula, Time Stop, I will teach you a new formula a month from now."

"An average of one report per month."

"Although you may not be able to fully master everything within a year and twelve months, you don't need to worry. After time stops, we will both have plenty of time to cultivate and go into seclusion."

"Even if you study the laws of time and practice for ten or eight years, it doesn't matter, after all, there are only the two of us left in this world."

Ayun's cloud has expanded in size, becoming about a third larger than a cushion.

Li Can could tell that A Yun was now filled with boundless imagination for the future, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was full of lofty aspirations.

"As for why I need to teach you a law of time every month, don't ask."

"Sure, my body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I can't demonstrate all the laws of time in one go."

"Otherwise, I would have taught you everything at once, instead of going through all this trouble..."

When A-Yun got to this point, he didn't even think about letting Li Can guess. He just revealed the inside story himself, without hiding anything, and didn't treat Li Can as an outsider at all.

"It's okay. Even if it's just learning one rule a month, it's already very fast. In this way, I'm constantly trying to catch up and using both my hands and feet to keep up with the pace."

Li Can offered a few words of comfort to A-Yun.

However, what he said was indeed the truth, and the reality was only more complicated than that.

Although Ayun had only given a simplified one-time demonstration in the villa's lobby.

However, as soon as Li Can received the time-shrinking compass that he had passed on, he was able to memorize the first formula of the time law instantly.

His mind fully understands and comprehends the mysteries and intricacies involved, but applying them in practice is extremely difficult.

He needs a lot of practice time.

Li Can quietly looked at the time compass lying in the palm of her right hand.

The little thing seemed to grow bigger and smaller easily in A-Yun's hands, but it was a bit of a challenge for him.

It is said to be elm wood.

Actually, it is made of mortise and tenon joints made of metal and wood. The outer skin is made of wood as a disc frame, and the middle is made of gold-colored, unidentified metal parts.

It's not cold to the touch; the wooden exterior feels warm and substantial against the skin, giving a very reassuring feeling.

The time compass exudes an ancient and historical aura, as if it has existed since time immemorial. One can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary object.

Li Can carefully put the compass into his bosom and stored it away.

Ah Yun floated over to Li Can and said, "That is indeed true."

"From then on, we will continue as agreed before. Every seven days during my seclusion, I will release my clone, Yun, to guide you in your cultivation. Do not wander off during this time."

"Wait for me at the villa at this time if possible."

"I can only differentiate for a limited time each time, only a few tens of minutes, so if you have any questions for me, try to write them down during your daily practice."

"At that time, ask me all your questions at once, so I can answer them for you."

"Okay, I've been out for almost twenty minutes now, and I'll reach my limit in another ten or so minutes."

"Man, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Ah Yun clearly came and went in a hurry; now she speaks much faster.

Ah Yun clearly came and went in a hurry; now she speaks much faster.

Li Can also became nervous.

He didn't know that A-Yun's appearances were always so brief.

"The first formula regarding the laws of time is explained in detail in the compass, so I have no questions about it. My only question is whether my connection to 'time stop' will affect your recovery from seclusion?"

Li Can's question is very crucial.

He thought that since it was a 'time stop', he would inevitably pause time several times during his connection with the system.

Ah Yun now lives in the same world as me, so wouldn't I be subject to interference because of him?

Ayun fell silent after Li Can's question.

"Well... I really hadn't considered that..."

"Hmm... how about I send you to a new timeline that's been created, and you can practice there by yourself?"

"That won't work either... Only the spacetime where my true body is located has the overall shielding and invisibility effect of Blue Star. If you are discovered and captured by the pseudo-aliens, it will be bad. I will have to drag my broken body to rescue you..."

"If all else fails, just enter any dungeon vortex as practice; it will have the least impact on me there."

"However, given your initial control, even if you manage to pause time, it won't be for more than a few seconds, at most a few minutes, which is still within your control."

"Later on, when you can pause for hours, weeks, or months, it's not too late to go back into the dungeon to practice."

"Anyway, I remember you got two access cards from the dungeon this time. Even if you just laze around in the dungeon and don't do any quests, you can still focus on training without any problems."

Li Can was stunned. What A-Yun said was heartfelt, but he had many doubts.

"But you've paused the past Earth timeline that's connected to our timeline. I can't even run dungeons now, and I won't be able to find other players. I've never seen a dungeon quest run by a single person..."

Ah Yun fell into deep thought once again.

A person and a cloud stood in the villa's lobby, eerily quiet.

"That makes sense...that's true...but I remember there's a solo instance, you can try it then."

Li Can: "..."

"Okay, if there really is one."
