Chapter 658: The Future Revealed

Li Yang's words were like a bolt of lightning flashing across the conference room, shocking everyone.

Despite facing an unprecedented crisis, his determination and courage still infect everyone.

"I agree." Bai Zhi stood up, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Xiaoxiao also nodded: "Count me in."

Representatives from other worlds have also expressed their willingness to send assistance.

Faced with a common crisis, everyone here showed unprecedented unity.

"Okay." Li Yang looked around with a pleased smile on his face.

"Then we will set off immediately. Others will continue to discuss the previous issues and wait until we come back to make the final decision."

After simple preparations, Li Yang led a rescue team composed of elites from all over the world on a journey to the third world.

When they arrived in the third world, everyone was shocked by what they saw.

The sky was filled with huge cracks, as if someone had cut through the curtain of reality with a sharp blade.

These cracks emit a strange light, constantly expanding and crawling, as if they are alive.

On the ground, cities have been swallowed up by these cracks, leaving only nothingness.

The surviving residents fled in all directions, their cries of terror filling the air.

"It's actually... reached this level..." Bai Zhi murmured to herself, "To be able to cause this level of damage, the strength of the culprit must not be lower than [Annihilator]."

Li Yang took a deep breath and calmed down a little:

"Anyway, let's split up now."

"Bai Zhi, Jiang Xiaoxiao, go and see if you can help evacuate the surrounding civilians. I'll go find the source that may have caused all this."

At this moment, Li Yang suddenly felt a strong dizziness.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he found himself standing in a vast white space.

In front of him stood the so-called "future self".

"You..." Li Yang stared at the other party warily, "Did you cause all this?"

The elder Li Yang shook his head: "It's not me... From the beginning to the end, it's not me."

"It is the presence that is showing you what will happen if you continue on the path of connection."

Li Yang frowned: "Destroying a world to prove your point? You are really generous."

"This is reality." The elder Li Yang said calmly, "If no action is taken, more of the world will suffer the same fate."

Li Yang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes: "Tell me, if we choose to fuse, can we really stop this?"

The elder Li Yang sighed: "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure, but this is our only chance."

"Only through complete fusion can we gain the power to contend with that being."

Li Yang fell into deep thought. He thought of that terrible future scene, of the Third World that was collapsing at the moment...

If this continues, will it really lead to the destruction of all worlds?

But if they choose to fuse, how are they different from the [Annihilators]?

"I need more time to think." Li Yang finally said.

The elder Li Yang nodded: "I understand. But remember, time is running out."

"Every world destroyed accelerates the collapse of the entire multiverse."

"You must make a choice quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang felt like the world was spinning.

When he regained consciousness again, he found that he had returned to the ground of the third world.

Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao were looking at him worriedly.

"What happened to you just now?" Bai Zhi asked, "You suddenly froze."

Li Yang shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just...there are some things to consider."

He looked around at the expanding cracks and the panicked people.

For a time, all kinds of thoughts were surging in his mind.

Connect or integrate?

Protect the uniqueness of each world, or sacrifice everything to survive?

How to find a way out of this seemingly impossible situation?

More importantly, do they really have the right to choose? Or is everything just a game played by the higher-ups?

"Li Yang?" Jiang's small voice interrupted his thoughts, "What should we do next?"

Li Yang took a deep breath and forced himself to concentrate.

No matter what the future holds, they still have a world to save at this moment.

"Continue to act as planned." He said firmly, "We must do our best to save the world and at the same time find ways to prevent the spread of this phenomenon."

Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and led their teams into action.

Li Yang walked toward the largest crack alone.

He knew that there, he might find some answers.

You may also face more choices.

But no matter what, he must face this challenge head on.

Because not only the fate of the third world, but the future of the entire multiverse is in his hands.

When Li Yang approached the huge crack, he felt an indescribable power.

It wasn't just a physical tear, it was like the entire fabric of reality was collapsing.

He approached cautiously, trying to study the nature of the crack.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his head.

"You're finally here."

The voice was both familiar and strange, as if it came from the distant future, and as if it came from the depths of the heart.

Li Yang looked around vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"I am you, and I am not you." The voice replied, "I am one of all possibilities, a projection of that existence."

Li Yang frowned: "What do you want?"

"I want you to see the truth." The voice said, "See what consequences the connection will bring."

With these words, the scene in front of Li Yang began to distort and change.

He saw countless worlds struggling in the cracks, and saw the boundaries of time and space gradually blurred.

In the end, the entire multiverse fell into chaos.

"This is the result of continuing to connect." The voice said, "All worlds will lose their uniqueness and eventually return to nothingness."

Li Yang sighed and asked lightly: "But can fusion avoid this result?"

"Fusion is the only way out." The voice replied, "Only by integrating all worlds can we gain enough power to stabilize the structure of reality."

"But what is the cost of doing so?" Li Yang asked back, "Each world has its own history and culture. What right do we have to erase their existence?"

The voice was silent for a moment, then said: "Sometimes, in order to survive, we must make difficult choices."

Li Yang fell into deep thought. He remembered the terrible future scene and the collapsing third world...

But he also remembered the uniqueness of each world and every friend he met on his journey.

"There must be other ways." Li Yang insisted.

"Maybe... we can find a way to stay connected without causing reality to collapse?"

The voice sighed: "You still don't understand? Time is running out."

"Every world destroyed will accelerate the collapse of the entire multiverse."

"You must make a choice as soon as possible."

Just then, Li Yang heard shouts from afar.

It was Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Li Yang! Be careful!"

He suddenly came to his senses and found that he was standing on the edge of a crack, and the ground under his feet was collapsing.
