Chapter 58: The Arrival of a Higher Dimension! A Threat Beyond Time

The void returned to calm, but Isaac knew in his heart that this tranquility was merely a brief respite before the storm. The system's alarm still echoed in his ears, and the information it brought made Isaac's gaze grow even colder.

[Warning! A higher-dimensional being has been detected attempting to intervene in the current cosmic system. The power of this higher-dimensional arrival exceeds the limits of the rules, and it is suspected to be a combination of the origins of time and space.]

"A higher dimension?" Isaac repeated softly. His gaze swept across the endless void, a seemingly empty realm where some kind of power seemed to be stirring within.

"System, lock the source," he commanded coldly.

[Ding! Lock-on failed. The target has exceeded the perception capabilities of the existing rule system. Host is advised to proceed with caution.]

The system's response made Isaac frown slightly. This was the first time he had felt an indescribable sense of alienation above the rules, a power that even the system couldn't fully decipher.

Just then, a faint fluctuation emanated from the depths of the void. The fluctuation was not intense, but it carried an undeniable sense of oppression, as if some distant being was piercing through layers of space and time to cast its gaze upon this universe.

Isaac focused his mind, and the golden light in his hand transformed into a barrier, firmly protecting him in the center. He could sense that this power was not the chaotic power of the Lord of the Rules, but a higher level of control—a power that did not need rules yet transcended them.

“Isaac.” A calm and hollow voice came from the void, carrying a detached indifference, as if it did not belong to any living being.

Isaac looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin crack appearing in the void. The crack gradually widened, revealing a blurry scene of flowing time inside, as if countless past, present, and future moments were intertwined within it.

From the rift, a man draped in a pure white robe slowly emerged. His face was clear yet featureless, as if anyone who saw him would forget what he looked like. His steps were light, yet they left endless ripples in the void, each step causing the surrounding rules to tremble slightly.

"Who are you?" Isaac asked coldly. He could sense that this man's aura was completely different from any known being.

The man stopped and looked up. His empty eyes had no focus, yet they seemed to see through everything.

“I am the ‘Time Traveler,’ a higher-dimensional being beyond your comprehension.” His voice was calm, yet filled with majesty. “I represent the will of the origin of time, here to judge your arrogance.”

"Judging me?" Isaac sneered. "An outsider who doesn't belong to this dimension wants to interfere with my rules? You overestimate yourself."

The man shook his head slightly: "The rules were not created by you, but are the common order of countless dimensions. You forcibly reshaped them, disrupting the balance for your own selfish reasons. As the will of time, I cannot allow you to continue to exist."

“How ridiculous.” Isaac’s gaze turned cold. “I redefined the rules; they brought order to the chaotic universe. And you, a bystander hiding outside of time, what right do you have to interfere?”

The man didn't answer, but raised his hand and gently waved it forward. Countless tiny rays of light suddenly surged from the rift in time, forming an invisible net that instantly enveloped Isaac.

"Is this your judgment?" Isaac scoffed, raising his hand to unleash golden light, shattering all the beams of light. However, just as he shattered the beams, a strange power began to permeate his domain of rules.

Isaac frowned slightly. He realized that those beams of light were not ordinary attacks, but fragments of time! They bypassed the constraints of the rules and attempted to alter his state of being.

"System, analyze this power!" he commanded swiftly.

[Ding! A fragment of the essence of time has been detected. The target is attempting to erase the host's existence by reversing the timeline. Warning! The host's core rules are being eroded by time reversal!]

Isaac snorted and quickly adjusted the core of the rules, locking his timeline completely in the current state.

"You want me to disappear? Too bad, you've chosen the wrong opponent." A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes, and the golden light in his hand instantly condensed into countless sharp spears, which pierced straight towards the Timebreaker.

However, the spears vanished the instant they approached the time-traveler, as if swallowed by time itself.

"The power of time transcends everything," the Timewalker said calmly. "Whether it's rules or chaos, everything will vanish before time. Your existence is nothing more than a fragment that can be erased."

Before the words were even finished, the one who had exceeded the time limit waved his hand again, and more fragments of time surged forth from the rift. These fragments rushed towards Isaac like a torrent, each one attempting to weaken his control over the rules.

"Turning into nothingness before time?" Isaac sneered, as endless golden light suddenly erupted around his body, quickly condensing into a massive magic circle.

"Rules are not slaves to time," Isaac said in a deep voice. "You think time is the ultimate entity? That's because you've never met me!"

As the magic circle rotated, golden light began to invade the time fragments, annihilating them one by one. The speed of the torrent of time suddenly slowed down and was eventually completely suppressed.

"System, invoke the time access permissions of 'Source of Destiny'," Isaac said coldly. "I want him to understand that time is also within the rules."

[Ding! Permissions unlocked. The host can now control the reversal and pause of time through the Source of Destiny.]

As the system prompted, countless golden beams of light reappeared around Isaac, transforming into chains of time that rushed towards the time-traveler.

"Time is not your exclusive domain," Isaac said coldly. "Now, I'll show you what true mastery of destiny is!"

The man who had exceeded the time limit was bound by chains. His expression remained calm, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

“You are indeed very strong,” he said in a low voice, “but the will of time will never yield to the rules. Even if you suppress me, you cannot change the nature of time.”

"The nature of time?" Isaac sneered. "Then I'll show you that rules can determine everything, including time!"

He clenched his fists together abruptly, and the chains tightened, compressing the Timebreaker's body into a small sphere of light. From within the sphere, the Timebreaker's whisper could be faintly heard: "This is not the end... Time will judge you again..."

The sphere of light was eventually completely absorbed by the core of the rules, and the entire universe returned to calm.

"System, report the battle results," Isaac said coldly.

[Ding! The time-out has been successfully suppressed, and time control has been fully incorporated into the core rules. The stability of the multidimensional universe has now been restored to 99%.]

Isaac nodded, his gaze growing increasingly profound. He knew this battle was just the beginning. Since the will of time could interfere with the rules, perhaps even more beings beyond the rules were stirring.

Just then, the system issued another alarm.

[Warning! Unknown dimensional collective intervention detected. A higher-dimensional alliance is exerting pressure on the multidimensional universe, attempting to redefine the rules and order.]

"A high-dimensional alliance?" Isaac sneered, his eyes flashing with icy fighting spirit.

“It seems I still need to conduct a final reckoning.” His voice was deep and firm, filled with a fighting spirit against the unknown.
