"You know about the Great Competition of the Seven Kingdoms, right?"
Suolin nodded, but she had never participated in the Great Competition of the Seven Kingdoms. However, in her mory, Long Yi had won, but she couldn’t recall how he won.
"On the last day of the Great Competition, we all knew Long Yi was very strong, so we specially prepared a group of assassins for him. These assassins were lurking in every corner around us, and as a result, a poisoned arrow that was ant for Long Yi was blocked by Ai Lin at the last mont. Despite using every ans possible, Ai Lin still died. Ai Lin’s death caused chaos, allowing us to annihilate the entire White Dragon Empire team except for Long Yi. Afterward, Elsa ca with her team to the rescue, but she also fell into my trap, and I killed Elsa in front of Long Yi," Yake said with a bitter smile.
"Are you saying you killed both Ai Lin and Elsa in succession?" Suolin felt like she was about to punch Yake in the face.
"Yes, that’s exactly what happened... At that ti, I was blinded by the pride of victory. I never thought things would turn out this way. After that, Long Yi beca a different person, terrifying monsters erged from his hands, and by the ti we ca to our senses, the world had already beco like this," Yake said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, step back a bit so you don’t die here," Jelly Willow patted Yake on the shoulder, signaling him to step back.
"I don’t understand why he exists here," Suolin said.
"The reason is, if it weren’t for him, humans and the Dragon Clan would have been completely extinct ten years ago in this tiline. Perhaps for us, this is just a wrong tiline. But for them, this is the world where they truly live and exist," Jelly Willow said.
"But now that I’m here, he no longer has a reason to live," Suolin thought about killing Yake.
"If you could change all this, unless you can change history, killing Yake would only make things worse. Especially since I rember you’ll be sent back after a while, and when you return, you could treat everything that happened here as a dream, as if it never happened. But if you plan to do sothing, you can also correct this tiline that shouldn’t exist in the first place."
Correct the tiline? Just like what the Fine Gold Golem sister in Long Yi’s mouth did?
Suolin glanced at Yake beside her, then pondered with her head lowered.
"I want to find Long Yi, I should be able to persuade him," Suolin said.
"That’s impossible, you don’t exist in this tiline, he doesn’t even know you. Moreover, the last person who tried this was very unlucky, so you better not try," Jelly Willow said.
As she spoke, Jelly Willow’s wings appeared behind her, but only half; the other half had disappeared.
"Wings severed by the power of the Giant can’t be restored," Jelly Willow said. "I know you need to calm down. There’s still so ti before you’re transported back, so I suggest you walk around and look at everything here."
Suolin nodded and left the place, wandering aimlessly around the Imperial City. There were no taverns, no idlers; everyone was busy with sothing. Human dragon riders no longer existed among the humans; ordinary people riding on dragons would only hold back the Dragon Clan. Therefore, the remaining humans took on the task of caring for the Dragon Clan, while the Dragon Clan struggled to protect the last bit of the Holy Land that remained for humans.
After walking around, Suolin had an epiphany, no matter who had turned the normal tiline into this. This was no longer the correct ti; the problems here needed to change, this tiline should not exist.
"If this tiline were changed, what would happen to you?" Suolin asked Jelly Willow.
"If nothing goes wrong, I’ll be transported to the correct tiline I belong to," Jelly Willow said.
"What if sothing goes wrong?" Suolin asked worriedly.
"If there’s an accident, I also have ways to survive in any incorrect tiline. Don’t worry, in reality, my understanding of ti is much deeper than yours," Jelly Willow said.
"Alright then, in that case, I’ll do everything in my power to try and change this tiline," Suolin said.
In her private space, she had a portable ti travel device, designed to correct deviations in ti travel. Using this device, she could travel freely within a range of a hundred years. Of course, the energy required for each ti travel was trendous. So, a giant energy core had also been placed in Suolin’s private space by the Giant, specifically to charge the ti travel device.
Both items needed to be taken out; Suolin couldn’t charge them directly in her private space. This was a troubleso point, and although it was a giant energy core, charging the ti travel device was still too slow. Suolin estimated that it would take at least half a day to complete the charging process.
"There’s no ti to waste, let’s hurry up!" Jelly Willow said.
Suolin nodded, strapping the portable ti travel device onto herself. The device resembled an oversized belt, except it had complex chanisms to ensure its operation. At the sa ti, she took out the giant energy core, connected the energy conduit to the ti travel device, and imdiately began charging. During this period, Suolin could not move more than ten ters away from the giant energy core.
Everything began smoothly, with each Crystal Stone on the belt lighting up one by one. As soon as all the Crystal Stones were lit, the energy charge would be complete, and ti travel could comnce imdiately.
But then, a massive trouble arose.
Just shortly after the charging began, Dragon Spores started appearing from all directions!
"Damn it! Has our stealth magic really beco ineffective?" Jelly Willow frowned deeply.
"It doesn’t matter anymore, we all knew that this day would co eventually," Yake said.
"Even so, this is the worst possible timing!" Jelly Willow said, quite annoyed.
"What do we do now?" Yake asked Jelly Willow.
"There’s not much we can do. Gathered here are the last of the Dragon Clan and the last of humanity. Our only hope is that Suolin can travel back to the correct tiline to fix the errors here," Jelly Willow said.
"All right, I understand," Yake Black said and then shouted loudly, "Co, all humans, all of the Dragon Clan, this will be our final battle! Rally your courage, lift your heads, we will show Long Yi that even if we fight to the last person, we will never submit to him!"
Watching Yake leave, Jelly Willow couldn’t help but sigh, "If he had beco what he is today earlier, all of the things in the past would never have happened."
Suolin nodded silently, having no words in response. In truth, she was the person least afraid of the Dragon Spores, but at this mont, she could only stand there, unable to move an inch.
"I know what you want to do, but I urge you not to do anything foolish on impulse. Once you show up, with Long Yi’s abilities, he will quickly find a way to deal with you. Anything you do would only slightly delay our annihilation. It won’t help to change this world at all, so, keep charging here calmly, we will buy you as much ti as possible," Jelly Willow said.
"I understand, but you must not die. As a Ti Traveler, you should know that once you die, no matter how the tiline changes, you cannot be revived," Suolin said.
"I’ll try my best," Jelly Willow said. "But if my death can return Long Yi to normal, I am quite willing to try it."
The distant battle had already begun, with so surviving Dragon Knights mounting their dragons. Relying on their exquisite experience and skills, they fought alongside their Mount Dragons, forging an incomparable tacit understanding through countless battles, which made them nearly invincible.
But they were really too few.
From within the crumbling structures, Suolin could see clearly see Dragon Spores swarming towards the Imperial City from all sides like dark clouds, the monstrous creatures making piercing noises. Despite the Dragon Clan desperately casting every spell and Fighting Aura skill they could, they simply couldn’t fend off the relentless spores. Moreover, these spells and Fighting Aura skills couldn’t actually kill any of the spores.
’Surviving in such an environnt is a miracle in itself, isn’t it?’ Suolin thought to herself with emotion.
In the entire Imperial City, everyone had stood up—n, won, the elderly, and children. Even those with crutches, bandages, and even those who had lost their legs.
"We have nothing left to lose. The only thing we can do is prove the dignity of humanity with our lives!" a person shouted loudly.
"Prove it with our lives!" the crowd shouted back.
Suolin could hear the tremor in their voices, see the fear in their eyes. But not a single person retreated. Moreover, they really had nowhere to retreat to.
The battle didn’t pause for a mont, with the Dragon Spores continually compressing the battle lines. The Dragon Clan fought while retreating, and the shrinking defense line helped concentrate their firepower. However, the increasingly tight defenses also made the Dragon Spores more densely packed.
Innurable Dragon Spores flung themselves from the sky, the ground, from all around. The Dragon Clan had begun to burn their own lives to resist, barely keeping the Dragon Spores outside the Imperial City.
But that was all, and this wouldn’t last long because the Dragon Spores were amassing at an alarming rate, their numbers growing continuously!
With her powerful vision, Suolin could already see the details of the spores, hear their shrieking. In the next mont, she spotted soone among them.
Soone she hadn’t expected at all.
Long Yi. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
