Chapter 421: Past and Future

Li Yang stared at the broken body in front of him silently, feeling the heartbreaking persistence and despair emanating from her.

Although it was not clear what she had experienced.

But looking at her miserable state, the story behind it must be self-evident.

Unfortunately, time is no longer a power that she takes for granted, but a struggle that is doomed to fail.

No matter how carefully she planned and tried to make changes.

The laws of this universe are like an invisible high wall, turning all her efforts into nothing.

But she persisted, even if she was broken, she still desperately pursued the powerless hope.

Even Li Yang could not be sure whether everything she was doing now really had any meaning.

After a long silence, Li Yang finally spoke, his tone revealing an unconcealable heaviness:

"To be honest, I should have no right to comment on what you have done."

"But, everything you have done so far has obviously destroyed you beyond recognition."

"Is it really possible to be unique in an infinitely extended time?"

"Do you really remember what your original purpose was?"

Li Yang took a deep breath, as if considering the next words:

"I understand that you are not so easily convinced, but I also hope that you can re-examine your current situation and think twice before acting."

Demeter did not answer, but remained silent, her eyes somewhat empty, as if she had lost the last glimmer of hope in the long struggle.

After saying those words, Li Yang also stopped talking a little.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the two of them just faced each other, and no one spoke first.

This silence lasted for almost a century before Demeter finally broke it.

"Yeah...you always say that."

"Thousands of times, it's the same..."

She said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone.

"But I have nowhere to go. There is no place in the universe for me to settle down. My existence itself is a mistake, a product that should not exist."

"Right now, I may not be acting according to my own will..."

"Whether it is the authority that is controlling me or I am controlling the authority, I can no longer tell."

"So right now...I have only one way to go, that is...create a new time dimension to get rid of this endless cycle and get out of this destined fate."

"Perhaps even I can't predict what the consequences of doing this will be. But if I continue, maybe sooner or later I will perish in this space and time."

Demeter turned her head and lowered her eyes slightly.

Her once brilliant golden hair is now covered with a layer of haze and dull.

Li Yang remained silent, as if weighing something.

But in the end, Demeter spoke again, her tone firm and persistent:

"Li Yang, this is not the first time you have come here."

"I also understand that this will not be your last time."

"The existence that controls time will not be defeated so easily."

"Even if you strangle it again, one day, all this will still happen..."

"We can't understand each other after all."

"So, let's make it short..."

As soon as the voice fell, Demeter's figure suddenly burst into a dazzling green light, and the entire void twisted and trembled under the surge of time.

"Let's meet again."

As soon as Demeter's voice fell, the dazzling green light suddenly burst out, and the entire void twisted and trembled in the surge of time.

Li Yang raised his arm to cover his eyes, but the extremely strong surge of time and space still made his body split uncontrollably.

He was slowly pushed outward by that force, and was about to be pushed into another time that did not belong to him.

At this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Li Yang:

"Follow me."

Then, a silver-white figure rushed out. Without time to think, Li Yang subconsciously grabbed the arm of the figure.

Instantly, a powerful energy surrounded the two of them, sucking them out of this chaotic time vortex.

Li Yang opened his eyes and found himself in a peaceful space, surrounded by a white color as calm as water.

And in front of him was the mysterious figure who had just taken him away from Demeter.

"You are...?" Li Yang asked in confusion.

"Right now, there is only one person trapped in the cracks of time."

"Therefore, I am also Demeter."

The figure turned around and revealed a face that was no different from the broken body.

"However, I come from a more distant future..."

"More distant than the guy just now."

Li Yang slightly widened his eyes, seeming a little unbelievable.

"In a certain timeline, she finally chose to give up the idea of ​​cutting off time."

"Even if the time of this universe cannot be shaken, so what?"

"Even if the past cannot be changed, being able to live in the present and calmly face the ending is also a way of living."

"In short... I have been paying attention to everything that happened here."

She lowered her eyes and explained:

"That Demeter... should be regarded as the one with the most obsession in all time and space, and at the same time, he is also the one who does it most thoroughly."

"The power of pursuing time authority to the greatest extent is now completely lost in the long river of time."

"That guy's behavior is destined to bring a devastating blow to the universe here. If she is still fine..."

"At least from what I've observed, none of the futures can be called a happy ending."

Li Yang nodded, feeling relieved immediately.

"So, what's going on with that guy?" Li Yang asked doubtfully.

"She..." Demeter said slowly now,

"She walked the entire journey with you."

"Go all the way to the end, overthrow the Domain of God, kill Zeus, and bring a new order to the universe."

"but..."

"As time comes to an end, people around me begin to approach the end of their lives one after another."

"As for me... I am a very nostalgic person."

"So I thought of using the power of time to go back to the past and help you overcome one difficulty after another."

"But as the contact with the authority of time becomes deeper and deeper..."

“I gradually discovered that [time] seems to be something that cannot be changed at all.”

"Everything has its own starting point and focus, just like a script that cannot be shaken at all. No matter what we do, it will not bring about the slightest change."

"So, that Demeter fell into some kind of madness in reincarnations."

"Until I came up with the idea that I couldn't change time because I didn't fully grasp it."

"So...it became what you saw."
