Chapter 258 Traveling through time and space
Chapter 258 Traveling through time and space
After an in-depth discussion of the legendary deeds of Emperor Yan, everyone had a clearer understanding of this powerful man.
At this time, the banquet scene presented a unique scene: Emperor Yan and Lao Qing sat side by side, the table was littered with cups and plates, both of them had flushed cheeks, their breathing was a little drunken, and their snoring came one after another, like thunder, attracting the attention of people around them.
Qing Zizai and Xiao Fei exchanged a glance, their eyes full of disbelief, "Is this the legendary powerful man in the Milky Way?!"
On the other side, Wu Gang was immersed in the ocean of delicious food, chewing with big mouthfuls, his lips shining, enjoying his simple happiness, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
At the same time, Grandma Huanying and Grandma Youzi were having a great conversation. Their topics spanned the boundaries of time and space, covering everything from family matters to daily life. The atmosphere was warm and lively.
Yang Huanying, who had finished her work, finally had some free time. She walked towards Bing'er and the two of them naturally began their private conversation.
The footsteps echoed in the stairwell, gradually approaching the rooftop. Jiang Zhong climbed up steadily and finally sat down gently beside Li Haotian. He held a bottle of cold beer in his hand and gently placed it in front of Li Haotian.
Li Haotian took it without saying much. Although he was not good with alcohol, he still unscrewed the bottle cap with force, then swallowed it in big gulps, his brows furrowed, revealing obvious discomfort.
"Jiang Zhong, why didn't you join them in the party?" Li Haotian put down the empty bottle, with a barely perceptible inquiry in his tone, as if this sudden calm conversation could temporarily dispel the haze in his heart.
"What about you? Do you sometimes think of your parents?" Jiang Zhong's answer avoided the question and instead brought up a deeper topic. His voice was calm and deep.
Li Haotian's expression instantly became complicated, as if the softest part of his heart had been touched. "I miss you, how can I not miss you? But what can missing you change?"
His words revealed endless bitterness and helplessness, but in front of Jiang Zhong, he chose to be honest without any disguise.
"Perhaps, I can take you back and let you meet your parents!" Jiang Zhong's words revealed a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect. "Are you willing?"
"Really?" Li Haotian's voice was filled with surprise, as if a beam of light penetrated the long-standing haze and illuminated a corner of his heart.
......
"Young man, I must solemnly warn you that the journey through time and space is no joke. The risks and responsibilities involved are as heavy as Mount Tai." Yan Di's voice sounded at the right time, and his figure quietly appeared between the two of them, his eyes revealing a depth that should not be underestimated.
"If the operation is not done carefully, it may trigger a chain reaction in time and space, causing the future world as we know it to fall into an irreversible situation and completely collapse!"
When Li Haotian heard this, he felt as if he had been hit hard in the heart, and his face instantly lost color. He looked at Emperor Yan in disbelief, trying to find a glimmer of hope from these words.
"However," Yan Di changed the subject, his tone more relieved, "the seriousness of all this also depends on whether the scene you intend to change truly touches the key to fate."
He shrugged his shoulders slightly and continued, "If what you are pursuing are just the details in life, then this adventure may only cause a ripple, rather than a huge wave."
Li Haotian's body trembled slightly due to his inner struggle. He knew very well that if it were not for the regret of losing his parents, he might never have embarked on this road of no return.
"Is this... the key?" he muttered to himself, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.
Jiang Zhong, who was standing by, had a worried look in his eyes. He stared at Li Haotian closely, fearing that he would make an impulsive decision. "Xiaotian, you..." He hesitated, his worry evident in his words.
But Emperor Yan showed a completely different attitude at this time. He smiled heroically, and said with a hint of provocation: "How can a real man hesitate to move forward because of fear of unknown consequences? If so, how can you be called a true warrior?"
Li Haotian felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. Although there was reluctance and loss in his eyes, he finally chose reason.
"Jiang Zhong, I'm fine." He forced a smile and comforted his friend.
"After careful consideration, I decided to maintain the original development path. The current stable pattern is actually the result of countless challenges and struggles. I want to avoid letting the collective efforts go to waste due to my own selfishness and let everything I have worked hard to build come to naught."
After saying this, Li Haotian shook his head firmly and made a difficult but responsible decision: "Let's look forward."
Jiang Zhong stared at Emperor Yan and asked solemnly, "Is what you just said true?"
Yan Di raised a playful smile and responded lightly: "It's just a joke."
"So, assuming that we can really travel through time and space and avert the tragedy of Xiaotian's parents, does it mean that the current situation will be safe and sound?" Jiang Zhong's eyes revealed his thoughts.
Emperor Yan restrained his smile and said slowly: "It is true that it will not destroy the present, but at the same time, it cannot directly rewrite everything that exists."
Li Haotian was confused when he heard this. He turned to Emperor Yan and asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?"
Yan Di took a deep breath and began to explain: "The Shura Armor is powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth, and it can travel through time and space. It is almost invulnerable. I also had regrets and tried to use the Shura Armor to turn the tide, but the results were mixed."
"Remember, the failure in this timeline does not mean that it is hopeless in other timelines." There is a profound philosophy in Yan Di's words.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhong frowned, puzzled by Yan Emperor's almost metaphysical remarks.
A hint of enthusiasm flashed in Yan Di's eyes, and he continued: "Everything has its limits, and Shura Armor is no exception. But I used it to cross the barrier of time and glimpse the Yanxing in another timeline."
"There, I witnessed an attempt that had failed before succeed in another form. The most important thing is that in that time and space, the Shura Armor did not appear."
"Based on this, I speculate that this might be the timeline opened up by the Shura Armor, which is completely different from ours." Yan Di's voice was full of desire for the unknown.
Jiang Zhong pondered for a moment and proposed another hypothesis: "Perhaps, the existence of that possibility is independent of the Shura Armor, and the armor is just a bridge that allows us to reach those hidden time and space?"
"Indeed, the Shura Armor symbolizes the protection of the law. Its power lies in maintaining the established order rather than easily tampering with it." Yan Di added thoughtfully, his eyes flashing with a deep understanding of the essence of the Shura Armor.
"If Shura can really create rules, then doesn't it transcend the scope of the Heavenly Dao itself? Such an existence is too incredible." Jiang Zhong shook his head and was reserved about this idea.
"However, everything is possible." Yan Di nodded slightly, with a bit of uncertainty in his tone. After all, he was not a scholar specializing in this field. He just put forward a bold hypothesis based on his own experience and insights.
"So, if the Shura Armor simply appears in a certain time and space without any intervention, will such an existence have a subtle impact on that time and space?" Jiang Zhong seemed to have some kind of calculation in his mind, and suddenly asked this question to Emperor Yan.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and replied in an almost matter-of-fact tone: "Of course, if you don't intervene, how can there be any waves?" After that, Emperor Yan turned and left, leaving Jiang Zhong and Xiaotian with a deep back.
