Chapter 285 The long river of time
The long river of time is like a band of light winding through endless time and space. Countless flashing light particles interweave and collide, blooming with dreamy colors.
The riverside of stars is covered with fragments of light, time caresses the curtain-like nebula, the reflection of time is sparkling, and the ripples of time are entangled and separated.
'Evie' has been here.
The last time, she knew she was dying and wanted to do something for everyone before she died.
Thus, the world of the second round begins.
This time, she still knew that she was about to die, but this time, she felt unprecedented relief.
The long river of time separated all consciousnesses. She no longer relied on her second-round self. Even if she stood here now, she would not feel the aftereffects of the time magic.
The time here is temporarily still.
The revenge is over, and the obsession and unfulfilled wishes that have supported her to this day have all been fulfilled.
The long river of time is calling her.
In a disappeared world and a disappeared timeline, she still survives until now.
But she can no longer witness the start of the third round, because the long river of time is calling her, and it is time for her to return herself.
The light of the stardust flowed like a shallow river, covering her ankles. Evie neither retreated nor advanced.
She had one more thing to do.
In this special place, she has one last thing to do for Evie in the second round.
In Yiwei's hand, he held Xixiu's life lock, which contained the fused souls of many people.
She wants to use the power of time to completely destroy these souls. Only she knows how to do this.
She reasonably suspected that Bad Ivy had already thought of this and was really trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from herself before she died.
As expected of myself.
"Xiao Wei."
A person's voice came from behind, and the long river of time welcomed a special visitor.
Ivy had sensed his presence long ago, but he had not expected that he had also been separated as a consciousness.
She turned around and looked at the person standing in front of her. Although he looked familiar, theoretically, this should be their first official meeting.
"Night." She said softly.
The meeting place is really bad.
Ye Jiyan also stood in the glow of the stardust. Everything around him was filled with the unknown and mystery, but he only focused on Ivy. He immediately understood: "Is this the first time we have had this conversation?"
'Yvie' didn't feel anything like a touching reunion or a surprising encounter, she just felt it was scary.
Please.
Ye Jiyan jumped out from something similar to the Life Lock. In her hand was the Life Lock of a huge soul. What if something else jumped out?
Ivy said nothing, but just kept tightening the lock of life.
"What should we do next?" Ye Jiyan only took one look and understood that now was not the time to chat. "Is there anything I can do?"
"What were you going to do?" she asked.
It is definitely not a coincidence that Ye Jiyan appears here. He probably has some ideas of his own.
"Help you, offset the wear and tear?"
The long river of time was an unknown territory. He had not been sure at first, but now he saw another person. No matter which Ivy she was, it at least proved one thing...
It is possible to offset wear and tear.
"You are very bold. Aren't you afraid that you will stay here forever?"
Ye Jiyan smiled but said nothing.
Ivy walked up to him in two or three steps and took his hand: "Follow me, don't walk around."
The long river of time seems to be still, but in fact it is full of crises. Without the correct guidance of a wise man's heart, one wrong step may cost you several years of your life.
The light particles in the galaxy moved slowly backwards. They took many steps forward, but it seemed like they were standing still.
"What were you originally planning to do?" Ye Jiyan threw the question back.
"Same as you, counteracting wear and tear."
"Can you help yourself offset it?"
"Isn't this a good deal?" After saying that, Ivy felt like she had gotten an advantage over time, and she couldn't help but laugh.
The scene around them had hardly changed, with light bands composed of countless particles interweaving in between. There was no foothold under their feet, but there was no concept of space here. They would neither fall nor rise.
"When does she want to return?"
Ivy pointed to the starry sky, and light particles with trails circled between her fingers, flashing.
"The time marked by the Sage's Heart was eight months ago, but... I don't know what she did secretly. The Sage's Heart chose to place an anchor point ten years ago."
Their information was not completely synchronized, and Ivy did not know when and where she was affected in the second round, which led to a time point being marked in her mind. However, the decision of the Sage's Heart came entirely from the heart of the helmsman, and it even understood her own heart better than the helmsman did.
Ivy thought this should be an unexpected but correct phenomenon.
However, she has to bear the cost for herself in the second round.
“How much wear and tear will it increase?” Ye Jiyan asked.
He seemed ready to sacrifice himself at any moment.
So 'Evie' ignored him.
She let go of Ye Jiyan's hand at some point.
“Okay, just stand there obediently.” She turned around, the starlight behind her was dazzling. “You are now standing at the correct coordinates. If you move a step, you will be meaninglessly annihilated.”
This was undoubtedly the most advantageous threat. Ye Jiyan had no choice but to stand still and look at her with complicated eyes: "You... don't need me?"
"I don't need it." She raised the Life Chain in her hand. "This thing plus me is enough to offset the wear and tear of the anchor point."
Ivy probably guessed what he wanted to say, and answered in advance: "You are just a strange memory. Your true value lies in the world of the third round."
"Go with her, Ye, she needs you more than I do."
Ivy threw the Lock of Life into the vortex of the galaxy. She turned sideways, with half of her face illuminated by the starlight.
She is leaving too.
Ye Jiyan stood there, and after a moment, she smiled bitterly: "Okay."
"Just take a step back. It's that simple. Try it."
'Evie' looked at him.
As long as he takes one step back, Ye Jiyan will enter the correct, flowing timeline and go to the world of the third round with the real helmsman.
And for her, all she had to do was take a step forward, and what she had to do was very simple.
Ye Jiyan was amused by the way she spoke.
"When Xiao Wei grows up, will she be like you? She will like being a big sister."
Ivy really wanted to act like a senior, but in reality, even if she added three years to her age, she would still be younger than them.
She listened to Ye Jiyan's teasing and fought back calmly: "Then we have to wait...when she discovers your true face."
"Looks powerful on the surface, but actually scared to death inside... useless brother?"
"Ha ha……"
Ye Jiyan covered her face and smiled softly.
'Evie' stopped looking at him.
The time for stillness is about to flow.
"Goodbye."
……
"Goodbye."
