A Temporal Oasis, the World of the Spire.

The world itself was travelling forward through the River of Time, heading towards a certain moment in the future.

The Main Spire.

The strongest people of the world were gathered here to discuss a crucial matter.

Why are so many people still not here? Barry asked.

Weve already informed them all, we sent some people to call them as well the Spire Keepers chairman said.

What exactly is the issue? Ye Ru Xi asked.

As soon as she asked, everyone appeared cautious.

Ye Ru Xi was the [Harbinger of Apocalypses End], a person of considerable strength, so no one would dare to disrespect her.

The chairman answered: Something troublesome seemed to have happened to our world

A young girl with cat ears suddenly appeared in front of everyone and casually asked:

What kind of trouble was it that needed all of us to be here?

Spatial Master, Kitty.

The chairman clapped his hands.

Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao came forward.

Huh? Did the two of you cause trouble? Kitty asked in surprise.

We didnt, it was actually quite a small matter Ye Fei Li didnt know how to explain it.

A yawning voice spoke up.

It was Boss.

I was in the middle of sleeping when you all called me lets get on with it so I can go back to sleep he rubbed his eyes and said.

Ye Fei Li looked at Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao cleared his throat and said: Yesterday, Ye Fei Li came to me and said that I promised to accompany him to the East Coast Wizard Spire to steal a TCG binder from the Wizard Spire

Everyone turned to Ye Fei Li.

Ye Fei Li awkwardly said: Thats not important, continue

Zhang Ying Hao continued: But even now, I cant remember ever agreeing to accompany him to the East Coast Wizard Spire to steal anything

Ye Fei Li said: Its very strange, I can clearly remember Zhang Ying Hao telling me that the East Coast Wizard Spire had the most complete TCG binder collection, which was left on the second room on the third floor

Zhang Ying Hao shrugged: And I insisted that I didnt tell him about this

Everyone listened for a bit, exchanged glances, then sighed.

Hah, theres no need for you to tell us about such a minor thing, youre stopping me from writing the next chapter, my readers will urge me to release more Kitty lazily said.

No Barry looked at his sister, then signaled Zhang Ying Hao to continue.

Zhang Ying Hao pushed his sunglasses up a bit as his voice became low:

Ye Fei Li had already matured greatly, and I was originally a professional hitman, so its impossible for both of us to forget something that happened recently

What are you trying to say? Kitty curiously asked.

Zhang Ying Hao replied: I felt that there was something strange, so I thought there might have been someone who impersonated me to deceive Ye Fei Li- if that was the truth, then it wouldnt be anything notable, just a small prank

So, did you find the one who disguised himself as you? Kitty asked.

Zhang Ying Hao paused for a second and said: I didnt

Such a person doesnt exist at all

Kitty was surprised and her expression slowly became serious.

She didnt mention her writing anymore and pondered: If someone impersonated you, it would be a minor issue, but if no one did anything of the sort, then it must have been an issue with either your or Ye Fei Lis memories

Zhang Ying Hao raised his hand to signal her not to speak for now.

Everyone, I also felt that this was very eerie, so I felt uneasy and purposely investigated to see if anything out of the ordinary occurred recently

What are the results? Ye Ru Xi asked.

Zhang Ying Hao exhaled to try and keep himself calm, then continued: The people of the Wizard Association accepted an invitation to tour [Order]s Square, but the guards at [Order]s Square insisted that there was no such invitation

The pixies loudly insisted that the taste of the bars sweet strawberry liquor was wrong, but when I made a trip to investigate, I found that the bars recipe hadnt been changed ever since it was established

Furthermore, one person went missing yesterday, a Void Spirit Wielder who fought against the Soul Shrieker called Massat

Hes missing? Im quite an expert at searching for people, how about I take a look? Kitty offered.

Zhang Ying Hao shook his head and said: Among those who knew Massat, half of them said that he had already lost his life during the battle against the Soul Shrieker; but the other half insisted that Massat was still alive and that they saw him just a few days ago

Barry followed up: This was very easy to check since we have a censoring department to record those who had fallen in battle

Zhang Ying Hao didnt say anything else.

He took out a book and handed it to Kitty.

Kitty received it, then flipped to the section that recorded people who went MIA to find Massats name.

Strange, why did his friends have to lie about something like this? Kitty doubtfully questioned.

Zhang Ying Hao took the book back from Kitty and handed her another book.

Kitty was a bit confused.

This one was done by another censor at the same time Zhang Ying Hao explained.

Kitty flipped through the book to the same section and the same position.

That spot was blank.

Massats name wasnt there.

Kitty was shocked.

That cant be right, where exactly was this issue coming from? she muttered.

Everyone was speechless.

This was beyond their understanding.

Ye Fei Li continued: Zhang Ying Hao and I had double-checked and even triple-checked everything, we can prove that everything weve spoken so far was the truth

This is very troublesome; we dont even know who the enemies are Barry scowled.

As they were talking, one of the two Wizards who stood guard at the entrance suddenly vanished without a trace.

He disappeared without a sound or warning as if he had never existed in the first place.

WHO!?

where is he?

Damn it, the assailant is here!

Barry, Kitty, and Zhang Ying Hao all called out at the same time.

The others didnt move at all and even appeared shocked.

What are you doing? Ye Fei Li asked in confusion.

Zhang Ying Hao lowered his hands and asked in disbelief: Someone just disappeared right here without any warnings, didnt you see it?

Ye Fei Li replied: There had always been only one guard standing there since we entered the room

The chairman also cleared his throat and volunteered proof: I only arranged for one guard today

Ye Ru Xi and the others all nodded.

Zhang Ying Hao was stunned.

He looked at the entrance, only to see the guard looking at him with a strange expression.

A sense of indescribable dread manifested at the depths of Zhang Ying Haos heart.

Barrys expression also changed.

He didnt even blink when he fought against the Soul Shrieker, but he was now feeling an inexplicable eeriness.

Kitty barely managed to remain calm and explained: Let me explain, just earlier, there really was a guard.

She told everyone what the three of them saw.

Everyone finally realized what had happened.

So the same thing they were discussing had just occurred again.

Everyone was completely speechless.

This couldnt be explained at all, most of them didnt even notice it had happened and assumed that things had always been this way.

How could they deal with something like this?

Barry suddenly called out: Among all of us, the one who knows the most secrets of the infinite worlds and the void would be none other than Greatest Above the Star Crown, Great Lord of Infinite Origins, perhaps only he would know about what happened

Everyone was suddenly startled and noticed that Boss hasnt spoken since the beginning.

They noticed that Boss was looking down as if he was contemplating something.

His complexion was dreadfully pale.

Barry was the one who had been closest to Boss, so he asked: Do you know what actually happened here?

Boss suddenly gulped, then begin to explain with a hoarse voice:

My memories are obscured by fog

With a strange tone of tone, he explained to them in a low voice: Within the River of Fate, once Cause and Effect had been determined they would not change; so most of the time, the only place where interference was possible would be during the process

For that reason, I buried a total of six Sealing Tokens within the past eras, using them to anchor the progression of the past and make sure that it wouldnt change too drastically

It wasnt until Gu Qing Shan returned to the past that I was confident that I would be able to retrieve those six Sealing Tokens by using his powers

Why him? Kitty couldnt help but ask.

Because he was the only one in possession of the Key of the Past, capable of using the power of [Distortion], and Ive already left an empty role in the past for someone to fill. It wouldnt be until he went to the Age of Immemorial that the true progression of history would become determined Boss explained.

Boss wiped the sweat from his forehead, then continued with a trembling voice:

-But today, I learnt that there was an entity I had never been able to notice that had remained hidden in the River of Fate, silently waiting until Gu Qing Shan returned to that past era. It is changing the Cause of Effect of the past, causing all pasts and futures to also change drastically

Ye Ru Xi refuted: Thats impossible! Ive heard that Causality cannot be changed, only the process can be manipulated and changed, youve also just confirmed that fact

Boss sighed: This occurrence youre experiencing could only be explained by the fact that there was no longer a Causality in the past. The past, present, and future of this reality are rapidly being altered

To be capable of such a thing what kind of entity would that be? Ye Ru Xi questioned.

Boss shook his head: I dont know, it hid so well that I couldnt discover it even at my peak

Would Gu Qing Shan be able to resist this entity? Zhang Ying Hao asked.

This entitys strength had far surpassed even the Myriad Deities, capable of altering even Causality. Gu Qing Shan is currently in an extremely dangerous situation where he could lose his life at any moment Boss replied.

Barry said: Speak frankly, what should we do now?

Boss looked up at the ceiling and remained silent for a long while.

Suddenly, a hurried female voice asked.

Boss, do you remember? You surely have a way to help him, dont you?

Laura.

Laura had been hiding here the entire time.

With [Shelter of Infinite Worlds], she was capable of avoiding detection from anyone and everyone!

Boss turned to Laura.

Laura rushed forward and caught his wrist: I once had an Occultism hand it was a precious treasure of we Bramble Birds, I gave it to Gu Qing Shan, which he used to save you, do you still remember?

Boss nodded.

Laura held onto him tightly and said: You and Gu Qing Shan are mutual saviors; this was something that even Occultism itself had recognized- but can definitely save him!

Boss looked at Laura and suddenly smiled.

I cant guarantee that Id be able to do that

He shook his head and let Lauras hand go.

Starlight manifested all over his body like a river of stars in the sky.

Ive lost all my powers and have nothing left but my life. Would my half-assed life actually be able to do something?

Boss slowly took a step back and entered the starlight.

But fine, regardless of life or death, I should make a trip to the Age of Immemorial

After all, that was my era

His body slowly disappeared from everyones view.
