I make a contract with myself

Chapter 433 Coming in droves

“A closed-loop time system,” Sun Yan said confidently.

"Then why can't I see anything after that? Not just your future, but everyone's future. Has the world been destroyed?" Gu Xuanzi asked with a smile.

"You know what, it's actually possible." Sun Yan said with a serious expression.

"Don't joke around! I know everything about our conversation, both past and present, and it might even affect our strategic plans," Gu Xuanzi said seriously.

“According to the timeline, shouldn’t your silhouette know everything?” the demon mask interjected.

"This is a time silhouette. Its primary mission is to complement the foresight of the past, so it is necessary to select specific times for cutting," Gu Xuanzi explained.

“I understand. If we’re not careful, the timeline will collapse,” Sun Yan replied.

The demon mask said no more.

I have a slight understanding of the realm of time, but it's only superficial. The deeper laws require a lot of talent.

The talents of the Primordial Immortals are all fixed, so what if they live a long time?

Some things are destined to be irrelevant to it.

“But I’m telling the truth. The Ancient Spirit World is currently facing threats from beyond the heavens, and it’s also embroiled in internal strife. The end of the world is no exaggeration,” Sun Yan said bluntly.

Gu Xuanzi fell silent.

After a long silence, he said, "I want to know everything about you."

Sun Yan did not hesitate and spoke frankly about everything he knew.

This period of time was enough for him to digest the gifts from his senior and learn the divine skill of foreseeing the future.

Because the past and present are connected, Sun Yanping narrates directly without mixing in personal feelings.

Upon hearing that he had married Elder Liu, Gu Xuanzi clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that time was truly wondrous, actually making someone with such an indifferent nature fall in love with another person.

Moreover, the person she fell in love with was the same person her junior apprentice liked.

There are many more sisters behind her.

After listening to Sun Yan's story, Gu Xuanzi sighed and said, "No wonder Elder Xie wanted to kill you; he wanted to eliminate any future troubles."

Sun Yan blinked, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

A moment later, seeing that he was still alive and had not been erased from the timeline, he realized that his father-in-law, whom he had never met, was still kind-hearted.

At this point, Gu Xuanzi coughed lightly and said, "I almost forgot, Elder Xie asked me to pass on a message to you."

Sun Yan's lips twitched: "I don't want to hear it."

Gu Xuanzi ignored him, cleared his throat, and began to imitate him perfectly.

He roared, "You little brat, you're incredibly audacious! You have my daughter and you still dare to marry other women! I'll kill you if I can't, otherwise I'll skin you alive!"

After saying that, Gu Xuanzi paused, changed his expression, and continued.

"Live well and don't die. Take good care of Xintong and don't let her think about revenge. The future is our own choice."

Sun Yan didn't know why.

A future of your own choosing? Can we even choose our future anymore?

No, the current situation is clear, but it might not have been so in the past.

Is it...

Sun Yan asked in a deep voice, "When did you foresee the future?"

Gu Xuanzi chuckled and said, "Our sect's protective formation is still working well; it can hold out for another three to five days."

Sun Yan was speechless: "We're already surrounded?"

Gu Xuanzi shrugged: "Otherwise what? If I weren't in imminent danger, why would I, this elder, waste my lifespan to complete this last attempt to foresee the future?"

Sun Yan remained silent, his expression not looking good.

After all, the person in front of him was going to perish in a few days, and he was helpless and unable to save him.

What happened in the past can be changed, yet it cannot be altered.

If Gu Xuanzi were to do such a thing, the future would collapse, and the new timeline might not be any better than the present.

Moreover, just because Sun Yan is upset doesn't mean he's willing to sacrifice his current happy life and be erased from the timeline.

With Xiaobai around, at worst we'll all perish together, and then nobody's going to have an easy time.

Gu Xuanzi was an old and shrewd man. Seeing Sun Yan's silence, he knew the struggle and frustration in his heart.

"Assuming the survival of the Otherworldly God Sect is the only condition, I cannot see the future of anyone around me, not even the future of the Ancient Spirit World. Do you know what that means?"

Does this mean the future is unchangeable?

"Nothing is immutable, neither the past, present, nor future. Time is wondrous, and there are many secrets and unknowns waiting for you to explore."

"Throughout history, there have been countless powerful figures, and many people have mastered the power of time. If they could all change it, wouldn't the timeline have been completely disrupted long ago?"

"You haven't learned to predict the future, have you?"

"Uh……"

Sun Yan scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

He himself hadn't fully grasped it, but he and Xiaobai were of one mind, so it didn't matter who did it.

When I have more free time later, I can calm down and learn it slowly.

Just then, the laws of the world quietly descended.

Gu Xuanzi's silhouette in time suddenly became hazy and dreamlike, and was being erased by the ancient spirit world.

"Once you learn to foresee the future, you will understand that this situation means that if the Otherworldly God Sect is not destroyed, everyone will die, and the Ancient Spirit World will also perish."

Sun Yan was slightly taken aback. Before he could think about the meaning of those words, he instinctively made his move.

I hate riddle people more than anything in my life!

You want to die? Did you ask me? If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, I dare to stay until dawn.

With the laws of this world so mere mortal, and with my perfect humanity here, plus the Primordial Immortal Spirit Xiaobai, I can't even protect you from a fleeting moment. How can you possibly fight against those shameless people, or against the invaders from beyond the heavens?

……

"Grandmaster, please wait a little longer. Trust me, this time you absolutely must step forward."

Rabbit hugged Fan Wuji's leg and tugged at it for a while.

Fortunately, he was wearing a ceremonial robe, which was made of hard-to-find materials; otherwise, he was really worried that it would be torn.

"Alright, alright, I'm not leaving. I just need to find a quiet place to handle some sect affairs. I've been away for two and a half years already."

Helpless, Fan Wuji dragged Rabbit to a mountain peak and, while dealing with sect affairs, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Sun Yan has really blown this up!

In the past three months, the once deserted site of the Otherworldly God Sect has seen an increasing number of visitors.

Of course, most of them are independent cultivators who come here to try their luck and find a treasure.

With his cultivation level, Sun Yan could see clearly what he was doing even from outside the void, and he quite admired this thankless task.

It would be best if the human race could make amends for the sins committed by humanity.

With the world becoming more stable and this place less dangerous, more and more people will naturally come here drawn by its reputation.

If you happen to find a fragment of a supreme treasure or a remnant soul of a powerful being, you could soar to great heights.

"We've arrived at the Palace of Nine Springs."

As dusk fell, Fan Wuji looked up at the horizon.

At the same time, a hidden spatial teleportation array was activated, and tens of thousands of people appeared instantly.

The people from the sacred Lingjue Land have also arrived.

The Carefree Cave Heaven followed closely behind.

The two groups were full of momentum, forming a pincer movement, looking determined to win.
