Chapter 413: Early Love?
“The future I’m looking for?”
The ticking of clocks came from everywhere. Gao Ming emerged into the river of time. The past kept repeating, and the future was continuously being reshaped. Every clock on the wall hid a different ending.
“The God of the Future collects all the futures in this room.” Once the woman spoke, the sound of fabric tearing came from her body. Her perfect features became twisted. “God died a long ago in the shadow world. Its figurine has been madly collecting different futures to find a timeline where its soul wasn’t fully banished. Once fate is still around, its future is sealed. Therefore, it needs to find a future where fate is killed. Coincidentally, it found this possibility in one of your futures.” ‘Xuan Wen’ shared everything with Gao Ming. After that, the power the God of the Future awarded her became a curse.
Gao Ming frowned as he scanned the clocks on the wall. The God of the Future basically exhausted all of its power on him. It not only obfuscated his senses but also used his parents to gather all the curses in the building to harm him. At that moment, Gao Ming could sense a flickering call from one of the clocks. However, due to the interference of the God of the Future, Gao Ming couldn’t pinpoint it.
“What if I pick the wrong one?” Gao Ming needed to find the only answer among the endless choices.
“You might be trapped in that timeline for a while, and you might be assimilated into it, becoming…” The woman didn’t continue. The consequence would be like her, becoming the God of the Future’s toy.
A giant gash appeared on her back. Xuan Wen’s skin was like tattered clothes. She couldn’t retain her appearance anymore. She was about to reveal her ugliest and most authentic self before Gao Ming. ‘Xuan Wen’ shrunk back. She was scared that Gao Ming would see her. She wanted to tell Gao Ming to turn around, but she soon realised her voice had changed. It was no longer as melodic as Xuan Wen’s voice. It became a ghost’s howl.
Gao Ming turned away from Xuan Wen. He placed his hands on his chest. After uniting with all his past selves, his consciousness was as strong as the Past God’s.
Footsteps came from the corridor outside. Soon, someone knocked on the door of this hidden room.
