Chapter 1528: Connection of past and future
The world of the Spire.
The bar.
The women were drinking together.
“Are you still not done?” Ye Ru Xi asked.
Kitty didn’t look up and continued to write as she answered: “It can’t be helped. Writing is something that must be done for every minute of the day, I’ve had to do so much today that I’m definitely not going to upload a new chapter in time——- I don’t even have to think to hear those readers cursing me”
She put her pen down and drank the entire glass in a single gulp.
“Ah... that’s really strong, I’m guessing it was Anna who picked it” she clicked her tongue and commented.
When everyone looked at Anna, they saw that she was just standing there blankly.
“What’s the matter, big sis Anna?” Laura waved her hand and asked.
Anna squeezed out a smile and replied: “Not sure, I just feel a bit... uneasy”
Suddenly, the sound of emergency sirens rang all over the world.
Kitty put the glass down with a changed expression: “I’ll take you with me”
Without seeing her do anything, everyone and the entire bar counter disappeared from inside the bar.
...
The Spire.
Bam!
With an abrupt noise, the bar counter and the four girls appeared in front of everyone.
“Why did you bring the entire bar with you?” Barry complained.
“Just in case it isn’t anything important, we’d drink while listening to you guys talk” Kitty replied.
“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you will most likely not have time to drink” the chairman of the Spire Keeper Association told her.
Then he poured himself a drink.
“What exactly is the situation?” Ye Ru Xi asked.
The chairman answered: “This Temporal Oasis had continued to drift just above the River of Time, our scholars had felt continuous interest about this phenomenon and created several tools to observe the various short pieces of history from above the River of Time. I believe everyone knows about this”
Everyone nodded.
“But now, we’ve discovered something out of the ordinary”
“What is it?”
“Within the River of Time, many pieces of history are rapidly disappearing”
“Disappearing?” Anna repeated, then asked: “Those were all actual events that had occurred, how did they suddenly disappear?”
The chairman took another sip of alcohol, his expression showed a bit of discomfort and said: “Take a look yourselves”
A mirror as big as the ceiling of the room appeared above everyone’s head, which was the size of a football field.
The River of End appeared in the mirror.
“Can you see it? Many places had completely disappeared, turning into dark spots” the chairman of the Spire Keeper Association explained.
“Have you asked Lady Darksea about this?” Ye Ru Xi asked.
A female voice resounded by everyone’s ears:
[The chairman had asked me]
Lady Darksea’s appearance showed up in front of everyone’s visions.
[I can confirm that the history set in stone is gradually disappearing, turning into nothingness. Everyone’s Fates are undergoing immense, unbelievable changes]
The room instantly became full of discussions.
“What exactly is going on?” Zhang Ying Hao asked, still confused.
[In the distant past, someone is attempting to change everything, which is causing the Causality of all things to also change, thus resulting in the Fates within the lengthy River of Time to change accordingly] Lady Darksea replied.
Laura asked: “Lady Darksea, if they’re being changed, then new visions of history should appear in their place, why are so many regions within the River of Time turning completely dark instead?”
[Because the things replacing those histories was complete destruction] Lady Darksea answered.
——-in the changed history, those places had been completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind in the River of Time, which was why they appeared completely dark.
Everyone slowly calmed down.
“I want to know, are people still disappearing on the Oasis?” Barry asked.
Lady Darksea replied: [After the Lord of Infinite Origins returned to the past, the disappearances had originally stopped. But three minutes earlier, two people had just disappeared, and this number is still abruptly climbing]
Suddenly, Ye Fei Li called out: “Hurry, look!”
Everyone followed where he was pointing at in the mirror above them.
In the mirror, the entire glittering river was gradually going dim.
More and more places were turning completely dark.
In one mere breath’s worth of time, the entire River of Time had turned into a place of darkness and nothingness.
There was no longer any history.
“No...” Barry muttered.
Thud!
Laura dropped to her knees and blankly whispered: “This... how could this be...”
None of the others answered.
Everyone had realized a certain fact——-
All the worlds had been destroyed.
Zhang Ying Hao suddenly asked: “Lady Darksea, what’s the situation here for us?”
[Please wait a moment, I’m attempting to investigate” Lady Darksea replied.
——at the moment, everyone was within the isolated Temporal Oasis.
As an isolated oasis, it would slowly and continuously drift forward along the River of Time.
According to the Law of Time, everyone will eventually go past the time period from which they started and follow the inertia of time, only after arriving at a very specific moment in time would they be able to reappear in the normal timeline.
But now, everything has been destroyed.
Then, what kind of future is waiting for them?
After one breath’s worth of time, Lady Darksea’s voice sounded again:
[Reporting to everyone, the number of missing people is increasing at an alarming rate]
[Referencing the Lord of Infinite Origins’ judgement, Causality of the past can no longer be established, resulting in everything changing]
[Even this Temporal Oasis had changed accordingly]
Ye Fei Li asked: “Is there a way to stop this?”
Lady Darksea replied: [Unfortunately, the deciding power originated from the distant Age of Immemorial, we’re helpless to solve this]
As they were talking, Ye Fei Li disappeared.
Followed by Barry, the elders of the Spire Keeper Association, Ye Ru Xi, and the pixie Grand Elder.
“No! Why can’t we stop any of this?” Kitty asked, unwilling to accept this.
Lady Darksea replied: [The only solution lies in the Age of Immemorial]
“In other words, Gu Qing Shan and Boss are losing? Wait, can you send me over there?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
He took off his sunglasses and silently waited.
[My apologies, my powers aren’t enough to send you] Lady Darksea answered.
As Zhang Ying Hao wanted to ask something else, he abruptly disappeared as well.
Increasingly more people around them were vanishing, in just a few dozen seconds, there were already less than ten people remaining in the entire world of the Spire.
“Do we really have no solution for any of this?” Anna asked.
[Indeed, we can only wait——- if Gu Qing Shan and Boss achieves victory, history will return to normal once more. But from the current situation, hope is dwindling] Lady Darksea replied.
“How could this be...” Kitty whispered.
She vanished as well.
The world gradually became dark.
Until only two people remained.
Anna.
Laura.
“Uwahh, big sis Anna, we’re all going to die” Laura cried frightfully.
Anna embraced her.
Suddenly, there was no one in front of Laura.
Anna had disappeared as well.
The entire world fell into complete darkness.
The River of Time was no longer shining, it had also scattered into nothingness.
“Lady Darksea, are you still there?”
No answer.
It seemed that everything was over.
Laura’s hopeful eyes slowly became dim.
She stood alone in the darkness, sobbing to herself.
Suddenly, the purple length of rope on her wrist gave off a continuous glow.
“Are... you protecting me?”
She looked at the rope on her wrist and suddenly stopped crying.
She wiped the corners of her eyes, then closed her eyes to carefully feel the power in the rope.
Like the light of a candle, the rope’s power was sheltering her.
However, what meaning is there to survive alone in an era where everything had already been destroyed?
Within the silent darkness, Laura’s shaky voice could be heard:
“Gu Qing Shan, you need to win, you definitely have to win!”
...
Countless years ago.
On top of the ice crystal.
“Everything is over now” Reneedol’s expression was cold as she handed the Starlight Dagger to Clotho.
“Go, kill these two final unrestrained Deities”
[Yes]
Clotho’s body became solid, received the dagger, then flew towards Gu Qing Shan and Boss.
Gu Qing Shan silently waited.
It was when the dagger was about to pierce his chest that he finally sighed.
A line of glowing text was blinking on the War God UI:
[The Fate Premonition technique in your hands had been examined following your request]
[Conclusion: this technique will not activate within a short period of time]
—–Lachesis had hidden the most powerful Divine Artifact of Fate in the future, but it had not activated, even now.
What does this mean?
Could it be that according to the prediction of the Law of Fate, it still isn’t the time to defeat Reneedol?
Gu Qing Shan’s heart slowly sank.
But there was no more time.
“Shannu!” he suddenly shouted.
A palace maid dressed in blue suddenly appeared from the void of space.
She glanced at Clotho.
Numerous sword phantoms appeared from the void of space to intercept Clotho.
Clang clang clang clang clang——–
Clotho was sent flying immediately.
Divine Skill, [Forgetting River Severance]!
Shannu reached into the void of space to grab the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and pointed it forward.
Boom!!!
Numerous sword phantoms as numerous as a torrent rushed towards Reneedol and Atropos who was next to her.
But the two of them remained still.
A mass of black flames suddenly manifested and turned into Black Hound.
“Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!”
Black Hound barked towards the two of them among the wave of sword phantoms.
Reneedol went blank for a split second.
Atropos was sent flying by the sword phantoms.
Right at this moment, another sword appeared from the void of space.
Oong oong oong!
It vibrated worriedly, then put two opened cans of energy drinks in front of Gu Qing Shan and Boss.
Without missing a beat, the two of them accepted the cans and drank them both.
“Are you confident?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Not at all” Boss stood up.
Another sword appeared from the void of space carrying two canned drinks.
They continued to drink it up in an instant.
“This is a matter of feelings. As you know, there’s no guarantees” Boss gloomily said.
“Tsk——-”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t judge him and only spat out a single word.
Wielding two swords in his hand, he looked towards the torrent of sword phantoms.
