In the Chaosverse, the stars in the sky roared as they rotated. The river of stars that ran through the Chaosverse was vast and endless. Every now and then, a sea of stars would appear, creating a magnificent scene.
The Spacetime Lord stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The stars in the sky flashed past him as he looked calmly at Ye Xuan. He appeared very calm.
The illusion of time had already disappeared. Ye Xuan was completely stunned. However, his soul seemed to be frozen. He was unable to recover from the scene he had just seen.
"Destroy my powers of time and space?"
After a dozen breaths of time, Ye Xuan said those words with a pause between each word. An indescribable feeling grew in his heart.
"Wh … why?"
"Why is this happening?"
Ye Xuan did not panic because he believed that his future self would not harm him. But why did his future self want the Spacetime Lord to destroy his powers of time and space?
"Never let me step into the river of time? What happened to the future? "
"Why? Why? "
"Answer me!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan roared madly at the Spacetime Lord. His eyes had already turned red because he could sense the despair his future self had felt before he disappeared. Right now, only the Spacetime Lord could answer his questions.
In the Chaosverse, the stars in the sky.
The Spacetime Lord was untainted by dust. He gazed at the boundless universe and sighed. "Because the path ahead is a dead end. It's not just him. Even I cannot walk out of this dead end."
"Is … is it that pair of vicious eyes in the river of time?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's expression changed. He seemed to think of something. Back then, his future self had been able to face those vicious eyes alone in the river of time. Could it be that the vicious eyes of eternity were the key?
"You know them?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Spacetime Lord's calm expression suddenly changed. He looked at Ye Xuan in shock, his brows tightly knitted together.
"Is it really them?" Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
Seeing Ye Xuan's confused expression, the Spacetime Lord gradually calmed down. He knew that Ye Xuan did not know who this pair of ancient, ominous eyes belonged to.
"It's terrifying, but it's trapped in this path of no return. No matter how hard it tries to break free, it's nothing more than a pawn of the Chaosverse," the Spacetime Lord said in a low, bitter voice.
"It doesn't matter if it's you, me, or even that creature in the long river of time. We're all just chess pieces, because there's no path to take at the end of the primal chaos." The Space-Time Master's words were indescribable, and his entire being seemed extremely bleak.
"Ye Xuan, although this is the first time we've met in this life, because of his appearance in the past, we can be considered old friends. I promised him that I would cripple your space-time powers, and today is the day I fulfill my promise."
The Spacetime Lord gradually calmed down. He quietly stared at Ye Xuan. Although he did not release any of his aura, just his rotating eyes of time alone made Ye Xuan feel an extremely terrifying sense of danger.
Ye Xuan was absolutely certain that the Spacetime Lord really was going to cripple his space-time powers in the next moment. This caused his expression to change, because there was no way he could lose his space-time powers. To him, this was an unparalleled calamity.
Perhaps all the answers could only be found in the long river of time. If he lost his space-time powers, his future would truly be doomed.
"Are you really going to do this?" Ye Xuan asked coldly.
Staring at Ye Xuan's cold face, the Spacetime Lord let out a long sigh. "You saw it. I already promised him back then. To prevent you from walking down his same path, I can only cripple your space-time powers."
"But don't worry. As the Spacetime Lord, I can protect you in this Chaosverse. Consider this my compensation to you," the Spacetime Lord said with a hint of guilt.
Rumble!
The Eyes of Time were spinning, and the chaotic space and time were in chaos. For the Lord of Time and Space to be known as one of the three strongest people in the Primal Chaos Universe, his cultivation was simply unparalleled. It was impossible for Ye Xuan to resist.
"Wait!"
Before the Spacetime Lord could act, Ye Xuan spoke up in a grim voice. This caused the Spacetime Lord to feel stifled, and he did not immediately attack Ye Xuan.
To tell the truth, the Spacetime Lord felt extremely conflicted about Ye Xuan. This was because Ye Xuan was perhaps the only person who could walk out of the Path of Chaos. If he truly crippled Ye Xuan's space-time powers today, a terrifying change would occur in the future.
However, the Spacetime Lord was a man of his word. He had promised that person back then, and today was the day he fulfilled that promise.
After all, that person had not walked out of the Path of Chaos in the past. Why should he allow Ye Xuan to repeat that mistake?
"Let me ask you. You promised him that you would cripple my space-time powers so that I would never be able to step into the river of time again," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"That's right!" The Spacetime Lord slowly nodded.
"Alright. Then please answer me one thing," Ye Xuan said.
"Speak," the Spacetime Lord replied.
"I am him, and he is me. We've always been the same person, right?" Ye Xuan said.
"That's … correct!"
The Spacetime Lord was slightly taken aback, but he still answered truthfully.
"Since I am him, and he is me, I'll tell you now. You absolutely cannot cripple my space-time powers. This is your promise to me," Ye Xuan said solemnly.
"No. He is the future you, and I promised the future you as well. Thus, I still have to fulfill my promise." The Spacetime Lord was not fooled by Ye Xuan's sophistry. He knew very well just how difficult the future would be.
"In the past, he once told me that I've already changed the future, and that he no longer exists in the future. As long as you give me time, I believe that I can change the future. I definitely won't walk the same path as him," Ye Xuan said firmly.
As Ye Xuan's words fell, the Spacetime Lord fell silent. He looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression, and a hint of hesitation flashed through his eyes.
To be honest, Ye Xuan was the greatest variable. Perhaps he truly was the only one who could walk out of the Path of Chaos and truly comprehend the ultimate secrets of the primordial chaos.
"Actually, I've never thought about crippling your space-time powers. This is because I've been waiting for you ever since the beginning of the Third Epoch."
"And now, you've finally appeared."
The Spacetime Lord sighed, and his eyes of time shone with a strange light. He gazed at the ends of the Chaosverse, and a hint of unwillingness and sorrow flashed through his eyes.
"I'm sorry. I broke my promise. I can't promise you that I'll cripple his space-time powers, because I can't walk out of this Path of Chaos either. However, in this life, he still has a chance. In the future, you have already disappeared. This is my final chance," the Spacetime Lord murmured.
"Tell — me — the — truth!"
Ye Xuan paused between each word as he stared at the Spacetime Lord. Since the Spacetime Lord had chosen not to cripple his space-time powers, the Spacetime Lord would most likely be able to provide him with answers to many of the mysteries he wanted to know.
"The truth?"
"Haha."
The Spacetime Lord laughed. However, his laughter was filled with sorrow, sorrow, and helplessness. His entire being grew silent.
