"Master, without your knowledge, the Dou Qi Continent has already been merged into another great world by that supreme expert using his great methods, becoming a vassal of that powerful world."
"Over the years, you have developed Time City into a very prosperous place, and that powerful figure is willing to give you a chance."
"Soon afterward, someone from the Heavenly Realm of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, the upper realm to which the Dou Qi Continent currently depends, will come to take over everything in the Dou Qi Continent and completely put the Dou Qi Continent under the control of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm."
"Time and Space City will be controlled by the Heavenly Court, one of the two largest forces in the Heavenly Realm. However, although Time and Space City will be controlled by the Heavenly Court, due to your outstanding performance over the years, you will be officially appointed as the city lord of Time and Space City by the Heavenly Court and become a member of the Heavenly Court."
Time and space did not make Xiao Yan anxious any longer, and directly told Xiao Yan all the information he had obtained, which made Xiao Yan very excited.
"Time and space, according to you, then the future Time and Space City will still be mine, and I will still be the ruler of the Time and Space City I once was."
Xiao Yan excitedly asked Shi Kong the question that had been bothering him, and then looked at her with longing, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from her.
"No, Master, you misunderstand. From now on, Time-Space City will belong to the Heavenly Court, and you are merely appointed by the Heavenly Court as the city lord of Time-Space City, which is equivalent to an official appointed by the Heavenly Court to manage Time-Space City."
"Master, these are some matters that you, as the city lord of Time and Space City, should pay attention to after Time and Space City becomes a member of the Heavenly Court. I will now transmit these matters into your mind. Please read them carefully."
As the words of time and space faded, Xiao Yan felt a surge of information flood into his mind. This was the set of duties he would have to fulfill and the benefits he would enjoy as a subordinate of the Heavenly Court.
Although the words about time and space shattered the illusions that had been forming in Xiao Yan's heart, leaving him feeling extremely disappointed.
However, compared to just now, Xiao Yan's spirits have lifted considerably. After all, he will still be in charge of Time City in the future, only now there is a Heavenly Court above him.
Judging from the information just transmitted from Time and Space, all the profits that Time and Space City earns in the future will belong to the Heavenly Court, and he can only receive a very small reward from it.

Chapter 174 Terrifying Foundation
However, after Time City became the property of the Heavenly Court, it brought Xiao Yan several benefits in addition to some losses.
One of the biggest advantages is that after Time City becomes the property of the Heavenly Court, the deepest bond between him and Time City will be forcibly broken.
From another perspective, after his soul connection with the Time-Space City was forcibly severed, his cultivation advancement would no longer be restricted by the Time-Space City.
In addition, the Heavenly Court will also spend a lot of resources to supply Time and Space City so that Time and Space City can upgrade its level more quickly.
After the Time-Space City became more powerful, he was able to take advantage of his position as the City Lord to better improve his cultivation.
After thinking about all this, Xiao Yan gradually felt better and was able to accept the loss of Time City to a certain extent.
After that, Xiao Yan didn't have to wait long before a group of people from the Heavenly Court, led by a powerful expert at the 7th level of the Transcendent Realm, arrived in Time-Space City.
These powerful figures from the Heavenly Court, besides handling matters related to taking over the Time-Space City, also had another important task: to transform the Time-Space City and connect it with the Heavenly Realm.
After the teleportation array connecting Time City and Heavenly Court was established, the ruler of Heavenly Court, the supreme Jade Emperor, personally came to Time City.
After arriving in Time City, the Jade Emperor not only completely took control of the city, but also had a private conversation with Xiao Yan.
After his private conversation with the Jade Emperor and receiving some promises from him, Xiao Yan was once again filled with enthusiasm for developing and working hard in the Time-Space City.
Because the Dou Qi Continent was peacefully integrated into the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, only the Heavenly Court and the Pantheon, the rulers of the Heavenly Realm, came to the Dou Qi Continent.
Aside from declaring the Tianyuan Sacred Realm's sovereignty over the Dou Qi Continent to the numerous powerful beings and countless creatures on the Dou Qi Continent, no major forces from the Tianyuan Sacred Realm came to the Dou Qi Continent to reap rich benefits.
The powerful figures in Time-Space City and on the Dou Qi Continent still maintain a portion of their control over the Dou Qi Continent.
After Dou Qi Continent merged into Tianyuan Sacred Realm, it not only suffered no losses, but also became stronger than before after absorbing some of the rules of Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
In contrast, before the Tianyuan Sacred Realm had even devoured the Dou Qi Continent, it had already absorbed all the rules contained within the Dou Qi Continent through the medium of the Time-Space City and Yuan Hao's absolute control over the Dou Qi Continent.
In the future, as the powerful figures who came from the Dou Qi Continent to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm gradually gained a foothold, the Dou Qi Continent also became a newly emerging top power in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
The main reason why Yuanhao sent the Heavenly Court to take over the Time-Space City was because the Pantheon's power had expanded at an astonishing rate over the years.
First, the Wind Flame God King used some unknown means to get the Abyss Lord at the very bottom of the Endless Abyss to make a declaration.
From now on, the Abyss will ally with the Pantheon, becoming a new entity, instead of the two sides being hostile to each other and constantly fighting and killing each other as before.
It wasn't until the Abyss and the Pantheon formed an alliance that the major powers in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm discovered this with alarm.
Although they had tried their best to overestimate the power hidden in the abyss in the past, in the end, they still greatly underestimated what was hidden in the abyss.
After forming an alliance with the Pantheon, several Abyss Lords who have revealed their strength in the Abyss have reached the eighth level of the Extraordinary Realm.
Their numbers are already comparable to the number of extraordinary level 8 experts currently in the Celestial Realm; this is an incredibly terrifying force.
Most importantly, no one knows what terrifying things are hidden at the very bottom of that endless abyss.
The extent of the power that the Endless Abyss has currently displayed, and what proportion it actually represents within the abyss, remains an unknown.
Not only that, after the Tianyuan Sacred Realm completely devoured the Roland Great World, perhaps because the mainstream cultivation system of the Roland Great World itself was very similar to the cultivation system of the gods of the Pantheon.
Furthermore, the current hierarchy of the Pantheon bears some resemblance to the Celestial Realm of the former Roland Great World, which has greatly increased the goodwill of some powerful figures in the Roland Great World towards the Pantheon.
Over the years, most of the powerful individuals who came to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm from the Great World of Roland chose to join the Divine Realm in the west of the Heavenly Realm, and were not very interested in the Immortal Realm in the east of the Heavenly Realm, which was ruled by the Heavenly Court.
Although, apart from God King Feng Yan, no other major forces in the Heavenly Realm have reported the birth of a second extraordinary eighth-level powerhouse in the Pantheon over the years.
However, with the support of the powerful beings continuously entering the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm from the once extremely powerful Roland Great World, the Pantheon, or rather the God Realm, has already surpassed the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Court in terms of its foundation.
Over the years, after continuously absorbing the power of the Roland Great World, the number of extraordinary seventh-tier powerhouses in the Pantheon has completely surpassed the number of powerhouses of this level in the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that, as time goes by, the Pantheon will continue to absorb the power of the Roland Great World to strengthen its own foundation.
