The Temporal Oasis, the world of the Spire.
The entire world was drifting forward in the River of Time, heading towards a certain moment in the future.
The Spire Keeper Association's main tower.
Several of the most powerful people were gathered here, discussing an important issue.
"Why aren't there many people here yet?" Bali asked.
"We've already notified them, we've already sent someone to call for them" the Spire Keeper Association's chairman replied.
"What exactly is it?" Ye Ru Xi asked.
As soon as she spoke, everyone appeared cautious.
Ye Ru Xi was the Harbinger of Apocalypse's End, so she was extremely powerful, no one dared to disrespect her.
The Spire Keeper Association's chairman said: "There seems to be a problem with our world"
A beautiful girl with cat ears and a miniskirt appeared out of thin air in front of everyone and casually asked:
"What problem? Why do you need all of us here? "
— — the Spatial Mage, Meow.
The Spire Keeper Association's chairman clapped his hands.
Ye Fei Li and Jang Young-ho appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah? Did you cause some sort of trouble? "Meow asked in surprise.
"No, it's actually a small matter — — -" Ye Fei Li didn't know how to explain it.
A yawn could be heard.
Boss had appeared.
"I was sleeping soundly when you called me here — — - quickly finish up, I'll go back to sleep" he rubbed his eyes.
Ye Fei Li turned to Jang Young-ho.
Jang Young-ho cleared his throat and said: "Yesterday, Ye Fei Li came to find me, asking me to bring him to the Eastern Coast's Wizard Spire to steal the Wizard Card Game manual"
Everyone turned to Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li awkwardly said: "That's not important, continue"
Jang Young-ho said: "But I never promised him that I'd go to the Eastern Coast's Wizard Spire to steal anything"
Ye Fei Li said, "It's strange. I clearly remember Jang Young-ho telling me that there is a top card game manual in the Wizard Tower on the East Coast. It's on the table in the second compartment on the third floor."
Jang Young-ho shrugged and said, "I don't remember telling him about this."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Aiya, there's no need to bring up such a small matter. You guys are delaying my writing time, the readers will urge me to update," Meow said lazily.
"No." Bali glanced at his sister and gestured for Jang Young-ho to continue.
Jang Young-ho adjusted his sunglasses and said in a low voice,
"Ye Fei Li's strength is no longer what it used to be, and I'm also a professional assassin. It's impossible for the two of us to remember what happened recently."
"What are you trying to say?" Meow asked impatiently.
Jang Young-ho replied: "I think it's very strange, I'm wondering if someone might be playing a prank on Ye Fei Li by pretending to be me — — - if it's true, then it's fine, it's nothing more than a joke"
"So, you found the person who pretended to be you?" Meow asked.
Jang Young-ho paused briefly, then replied: "No"
"Such a person doesn't exist at all"
Meow was surprised, then her expression slowly turned solemn.
She no longer mentioned the matter of returning to write her novel and pondered: "If someone pretended to be you, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if such a person doesn't exist at all, then there must be something wrong with your and Ye Fei Li's memories"
Jang Young-ho raised his hand and gestured for her not to say anything for now.
"Everyone, I feel like this matter is a bit strange, and I'm also feeling a bit uneasy, so I specifically checked to see if anything unusual had happened recently"
"What were the results?" Ye Ru Xi asked.
Jang Young-ho exhaled, tried to calm himself down a bit, then explained: "The people of the Wizardry Guild were invited to visit the [Order] Square, but the guards of the [Order] Square said that they weren't invited at all"
"The pixies kept saying that the strawberry wine in the bar didn't taste right, so they must've changed the recipe, but I specifically checked and found that the wine's recipe hadn't changed at all"
"Furthermore, a person went missing yesterday, he was a Void Spirit Adept who participated in the war against the Soul Shrieker, his name is Massa"
"Where is he? I'm good at finding people, should I go look for him? "Meow asked.
Jang Young-ho shook his head and replied: "Among those who knew Massa, half of them said that Massa died in the war against the Soul Shrieker, while the other half said that Massa was still alive and had seen him just a few days ago"
Bali replied: "That's very easy to determine, we have a special record of those who died in battle, every single person who died is recorded"
Jang Young-ho said nothing.
He took out a book and gave it to Meow.
Meow received it, flipped to the war records page, and found Massa's name.
"Strange, why would this person's friend lie?" Meow doubtfully asked.
Jang Young-ho took the book from Meow's hand and gave her another one.
Meow was confused.
"Check again" Jang Young-ho said.
Meow opened the book and flipped to the war records page again.
The same position.
There was no Massa.
There was no such name.
Meow was completely stunned.
"… That can't be right, where exactly did we go wrong?" she muttered.
Everyone went silent.
This matter had gone beyond everyone's understanding.
Ye Fei Li continued: "Jang Young-ho and I have checked repeatedly, we can prove that everything he said just now is true"
"That's troublesome, we don't even know who the enemy is" Bali scowled.
While everyone was talking, one of the two warlocks standing guard at the entrance suddenly disappeared.
He disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed in the first place.
"Who!?"
"— — where did he go?"
"Damn it, there's an assassin!"
Bali, Meow, and Jang Young-ho all spoke up.
But the others stood still, some even appeared surprised.
"What are you doing?" Ye Fei Li asked in confusion.
Jang Young-ho shrugged and said in disbelief: "A living person just disappeared from this place, didn't you see it?"
Ye Fei Li replied: "I've already seen it since I came in, there was only one guard standing there"
The Spire Keeper Association's chairman cleared his throat and confirmed: "I've only arranged for one person to stand guard today"
Ye Ru Xi and the others nodded.
Jang Young-ho was stunned.
He looked at the entrance, only to see the remaining guard looking at him with a strange expression.
An indescribable sense of fear emerged from deep within Jang Young-ho's heart.
Bali's expression also changed.
He didn't even blink when facing the Soul Shrieker, but at this moment, he also felt an unexplainable eeriness.
Meow tried her best to maintain her calm and said: "I'll explain, there really was a guard just now …"
She explained what the three of them saw.
It was now that everyone realized.
It turned out that the same thing had happened again.
Everyone was speechless.
They couldn't understand this at all, they didn't even know how it happened and thought that it was just how it was.
How are we going to deal with this?
Bali suddenly said: "Among us, the one who knows the most about the infinite worlds and the void is the Greatest Above the Star Crown, the great Lord of Infinite Origins, perhaps he is the only one who knows what happened"
It was now that everyone realized that Boss hadn't said a single word since the very beginning.
Only to see Boss lowering his head, seemingly thinking about something.
His complexion was terrifyingly pale.
Bali had always been good friends with Boss, so he asked: "Do you know exactly what happened?"
Boss gulped, then answered with a bitter voice:
"My memories are shrouded in fog"
He spoke with a strange tone in a low voice: "In the River of Fate, once Causality is determined, it cannot be changed, so the only thing that can be manipulated is the process of Causality"
"That's why I buried six Sealing Tokens in the past, using them to restrict the course of history and ensure that it wouldn't change too much"
"It wasn't until Gu Qing Shan returned to the past that I was convinced that it was a good chance to use his power to retrieve the six Sealing Tokens"
"Why him?" Meow couldn't help but ask.
"Because he is the only one who carries the Key of the Past and can use the power of [Distortion], and I've already reserved such a position. Only when he returns to the Age of Immemorial would history be completely fixed" Boss replied.
Boss wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, then spoke with a trembling voice:
"— — -but only today did I find out that there is an entity that I couldn't detect. It has been hiding within the River of Fate, silently waiting for Gu Qing Shan to return to that era. It is currently altering the cause and effect of history, causing both the past and the future to undergo a drastic change"
Ye Ru Xi refuted: "That's not right! I heard that Causality cannot be changed, only the process can be controlled and changed, you also said that earlier "
Boss sighed: "What is happening to you right now is because the cause and effect of history is about to become untenable, the past, present, and future of the world are all undergoing drastic changes"
"To be able to achieve such a feat … what kind of entity is it exactly?" Ye Ru Xi asked.
Boss shook his head: "I don't know, it's hidden so well that even I couldn't discover it when I was at my peak …"
"Does Gu Qing Shan have a way to deal with it?" Jang Young-ho asked.
"This entity's power has surpassed that of the Myriad Deities, capable of altering cause and effect as well as everything else. Gu Qing Shan's current situation is extremely dangerous, her death is only a matter of moments away" Boss replied.
Bali said: "Just tell me, what do we do now?"
Boss looked up at the ceiling and remained silent for a long while.
Suddenly, a hurried female voice resounded from the corner of the room.
"Boss, do you remember? You must have a way to help him, don't you? "
Lola.
Lola had been hiding here all this time.
She had the [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] ability, which allowed her to remain undetected by anyone!
Boss turned to Lola.
Lola rushed forward and grabbed his hand: "I once had a remnant of an Occultism artifact — — it was our Bramble Bird's greatest treasure. I gave it to Gu Qing Shan, then Gu Qing Shan used it to capture you and bring you onto our ship, do you still remember?"
Boss nodded.
Lola tightly held his hand and said: "You and Gu Qing Shan are mutual rescuers, this is something that even the Occultism side recognizes — — you can definitely save him!"
Boss looked at Lola and suddenly smiled.
"I … am not sure if I can do it"
He shook his head and let go of Lola's hand.
Boundless starlight began to radiate from his body like a sky full of stars.
"I've lost all of my power, only this life is left. What use would this remnant life of mine be able to do?"
Boss slowly retreated into the starlight.
"Very well, regardless of life or death, I should make a trip to the Age of Immemorial"
"After all, that was my era"
His figure slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
