Another World: My life is on the hook!

Chapter 2700 Rebirth and the Future!

The ancient figure stood up, and the darkness pressed down heavily.

"Just like you, I was also thinking back then whether I should give up or compromise. If becoming the End is my fate, then why should I fight against it? But later I realized that it was a world that my partners and I had created together, and I didn't want to watch our shared achievements be so easily destroyed."

"And perhaps it was this obsession that gave me the chance to awaken again at the moment of my demise."

He turned his head and glanced at Lynn.

"child."

"At our stage, all that keeps us alive is that persistence. If this world is just a dream, then even if it turns into nothingness, it is still just a dream."

"And dreams can certainly be changed."

He turned around step by step and walked into the distant darkness.

At that moment, Lynn seemed to have a fleeting moment of enlightenment. He suddenly looked up, his pupils dilating violently, as if countless fine raindrops had been sprinkled into his eyes.

He got up and, trembling, looked into the distance in the direction he had left.

"But what exactly did you leave behind?! What exactly did you leave for the future?!"

The figure stopped.

"I've kept you all."

In an instant, his departing figure transformed into countless golden pages, which fluttered and filled the entire dark night sky, like a giant library, like the accumulated wisdom of a lifetime.

It was at that moment that Lynn realized he had been conversing with his memories all along.

Because they didn't want to die.

Because there are still many things left undone.

He stood with his head down, amidst the countless fluttering pages, in the vast darkness.

He clenched his fist tightly.

Because I don't want to accept that outcome.

"I understand, thank you."

"I understand."

……

……

hum-

Like a string playing in a dream, or like rising suddenly from the cold seabed, the voice that kept calling out to him became clearer and closer in his ears.

When Lynn suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils gradually focused from their unfocused state.

Through blurred vision and light and shadow, he saw the face of the familiar girl gradually becoming clearer. She was trembling and gripping his shoulders, her face covered with tear stains. Those clear teardrops had already soaked his clothes.

"Head! I thought I'd never see you again!"

The moment I saw him awaken.

The girl finally couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and burst into tears. She threw herself into his arms, as if she wanted to release all the sadness she had been feeling all this time.

"You're awake! You're finally awake! Zuo Zuo has been waiting for you so long! So long!"

Lynn sat there, stunned, feeling the heartbeat of the girl in his arms.

Those disillusioning scenes feel like they happened just yesterday.

And that is reality.

but……

what is the problem?

In the moment of his loss of consciousness, he only remembered the overwhelming will that rumbled down upon him, the fragmented past, and the countless collapsing paradoxes that had blown his existence away like a candle in the wind.

He wanted to ask a question, but the moment he looked up, his pupils suddenly constricted.

in front of him.

He sat cross-legged on that familiar figure, eyes he would never forget, eyes so calm that even if the whole world collapsed before him, they wouldn't stir the slightest ripple in him—he would never forget them in his lifetime.

"It's you... How could you..."

His breathing was rapid.

But when he stood up and tried to rush over, he stopped.

Because countless dark causes and effects were crisscrossing around him, the paradoxes that had linked him from the distant past to this moment were like sharp chains that were constantly tightening, layer upon layer, almost suppressing and killing him.

He saw the mangled face beneath his hairline, and his entire half of his body, almost reduced to skeletal bones by the final melting process.

But he remained seated.

Anchored to the past and the future, anchored to destiny and cause and effect.

Lynn was trembling and speechless.

Because he sensed it, sensed the disappearance of the paradox, or rather, from a certain moment onward, the effects of that paradox on him had been transferred to another person...

……

"Head, don't come near! He instructed me not to let you near under any circumstances. He used powerful means to forcibly suppress your past collapse, but if you go now, this cycle will be interrupted immediately, and then, no matter how great your abilities are, you won't be able to reverse it!"

Zuo Zuo gripped him tightly, choking back tears as she tried to stop him from getting any closer.

Lynn's eyes trembled.

He saw the endless cycle of reincarnation within him, the paradox that spread from the entire past, which was contained within that cycle at the moment of its full eruption.

"We barely managed to escape!"

Zuo Zuo suppressed her tears and held him tightly, preventing him from moving forward.

"It's because Zuo Zuo is useless! Zuo Zuo can't take over more control from you, Blackfire. Our era and the end have already connected. The scale of the calamity that the Agent can control has reached a point where we can't shake it. And the Time God King, he has regained the power of time, and he has long been on the side of that calamity!"

Lynn learned from her what had happened after he lost consciousness.

The return of the God of Time.

A dead end in trying to keep up with the times.

And him...

Lynn forcibly suppressed his rapid breathing. He lowered his head and did not come any closer. He sat down in front of him, hunching over and looking dejected for a moment.

"I knew it, I knew you wouldn't leave so easily."

"You anticipated this moment, didn't you?"

The figure remained silent. Their immense karma and time, though so close, felt like an eternity.

Lynn clenched his trembling fists.

Beneath his hairline, his gaze gradually turned red and became suppressed.

Amidst the endless paradox of cause and effect, that familiar voice finally rang out.

"I anticipated some of it, but not all of it."

“I gave him a chance, but he was unwilling to accept it, so there was nothing I could do.”

The voice remained calm, seemingly unable to stir even the slightest emotion in him under such immense pressure.

Lynn suppressed his emotions, clenching his teeth tightly, forcing himself not to lose control.

"why?"

"So you've been lying to me all along. You made me burn you, and now you're back in front of me..."

The voice said, "I didn't lie to you. My return is to give you back the part of your soul that you once lost. But you are still that raven. Before you completely burn away your past, I can still revive within you. You are me, and you are him. We are all the same."

Lynn's eyes were bloodshot.

"what have you done?"

The figure opened its eyes and calmly gazed at the boy who was so close yet so far.

“If you don’t do this, you won’t survive. Once time is no longer under your control, it’s just a matter of a thought for them to change the past and create more paradoxes for you.”

"All I can do is use reincarnation to prevent the devastating consequences from manifesting in you so quickly."
