Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 295 Running Around
"A strong disturbance has occurred in spacetime, disrupting complex causal chains... Our objective existence is being denied..."

"Warning...warning..."

"Spatial coordinates: Draco constellation...Time coordinates: +17503. Request to dispatch special agents to carry out a time-travel mission and ensure spacetime stability..."

"..."

Chaos reigned in every microcosm, and even in strange spaces, as large numbers of people were dispatched in an attempt to save this universe from destruction.

The new human civilization that has mastered time and space technology is not limited to a single time and space; it is a collective civilization of many time and space. The past is the present and the future. Even if the new human civilization in a certain time and space is destroyed, other time and space can send personnel to save that time, thereby ensuring the stability of the timeline and ensuring the existence of an eternal and indestructible ultimate civilization.

……

The timeline of the Milky Way calendar year 23975.

The era of the Great Crusade has long passed. The God-Emperor has become a beacon, guiding people in the Warp. Evil gods from the Warp ravage the galaxy, and numerous alien monsters poison the humans of various planets.

But just as many forces were fighting each other for various reasons, light appeared.

Numerous beams of light emerged from unknown locations. These beams varied in size; some destroyed a single city, while others wiped out entire galaxies, yet all possessed unbelievable power. Faced with this sudden surge of power, even the evil god could only struggle to hold on. The God-Emperor, who had transformed into a beacon, vanished within the beams of light. One by one, the stars dimmed, and the universe gradually descended into darkness.

But just then, a group of strange "people" appeared.

They worked tirelessly to repair the damage inflicted by the pillars of light, mending stars and reshaping galaxies, completely ignoring the fighting forces at play. In a very short time, this group completed the restoration of the universe, and then, just as suddenly as they appeared, they vanished just as suddenly.

Although these events had a huge impact at the time, they were quickly forgotten by the entire galaxy under the influence of some unknown force, with only a few words about them remaining in some ancient scrolls.

And in the spacetime turbulence...

"Captain, the XIQ761990 timeline has been almost repaired. What do we do next?"

A group of humanoid beings piloting strange machines were talking. The leader had a bird's head and long eyebrows that gave him an imposing and dignified air.

In response to his teammate's words, the person addressed as captain blinked. The screen that refreshed before him displayed changes at various points in spacetime. Large patches of white light, symbolizing normalcy, were rapidly dimming, indicating that they were being distorted by abnormal forces.

If the universe is a living organism, and individual fragments of spacetime are cells, then many of these fragments are actually diseased. These fragments contain all sorts of strange and unusual phenomena, but the universe possesses a strong self-correcting ability; these disordered spacetimes do not directly lead to the collapse of all spacetime.

Even if the grandson travels back in time and kills his grandmother, there will be no paradox and it will have virtually no impact on his own timeline, because the universe will explain everything in a very clever way, such as the grandmother being someone else, etc.

However, with such a large-scale collapse of spacetime, even the universe itself would find it difficult to repair the causal relationships.

If the causal chain cannot be established, then some civilizations at the end of the river of time will be directly erased. Even now, some sub-civilizations that joined the new human civilization have already suddenly disappeared. Everyone downstream in the river of time has completely forgotten their existence because they never existed in the future.

Only a new human civilization that takes control of the past, future, and present, and enters the ultimate era, can glimpse the clues and even repair all of this.

"There are still many timelines waiting for us to repair. Don't stop. The monsters' all-timeline attacks are affecting all timelines. We must speed things up, or even we will be negated."

The captain, with a bird's head and a human body, spoke in a loud voice, shouting.

……

In another time and space.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

The captain, who was in the lead, bowed respectfully to a handsome young man.

Even though they weren't from the same system, this ancient psionic emperor's abilities were enough to command respect even within the New Human civilization.

The handsome young man, however, didn't look at him. Instead, he gazed thoughtfully at the sudden, raging pillars of light. Just a few days earlier, the emperor was preparing to conquer the other human powers in the galaxy when suddenly numerous pillars of light appeared in this still ununified galaxy.

No force could withstand these pillars of light; the shields were easily destroyed, stars were wiped out, and the galaxy was plunged into a tremendous crisis.

The galaxies that have not yet discovered faster-than-light travel are all acting independently. Although they have discovered these rampant pillars of light, they have no idea that this is not a crisis for a single galaxy, but a crisis for the entire universe... except for one person.

Gazing at the passing beam of light, the handsome young man responded softly.

"Hmm...which timeline from the future are you from?"

The young man spoke softly and slowly, yet he instilled a strange sense of oppression in the captain. It was a power called psionic energy—a power that the new humans had neither mastered nor wanted to master, something that shouldn't exist in this universe.

"I come from a time 48 years in the future..."

Despite facing a native from an ancient time, the captain didn't dare to breathe loudly and subconsciously whispered.

"Let me think... It's another unfamiliar time and space."

The handsome young man lowered his head, as if pondering for a moment, and then shook his head.

Although I've met some people from the future, and quite a few who have escaped from the future, this is the first time I've encountered a timeline 48 years in the future.

Feeling the power within that pillar of light, and combining it with the words of the person who claimed to have come from 48 years in the future, the young man began to have some guesses.

"So, does that mean that snake finally launched its ultimate battle at some point in the future?"

"Actually, we initiated it ourselves."

The young man looked at him with some surprise, then, as if re-examining him, he looked him up and down. After a moment of silence, the corners of his handsome face turned up, and he suddenly smiled.

"Hmph... Hahahaha, interesting, very interesting. Taking advantage of your remaining strength, you're going to launch a decisive battle against that snake? Good, very good, you really have guts, very good..."

After saying "good" three times in a row, the young man made no attempt to hide his appreciation, then his smile faded slightly as he muttered to himself.

"If only my subjects had the courage you all, things would be much better... Hmph."

The young man's face gradually turned cold again.

The captain, who was in charge, was puzzled but dared not ask any questions. At that moment, however, the captain's expression changed. According to intelligence, a beam of light was heading towards the planet where the emperor was located.

"Oh no! The snake's attack is imminent. Please move immediately."

The emperor has a tremendous influence on time and space, making him a crucial figure in this mission.

The young man glanced at him.

"I am leaving, but what about my people? What do you intend to do?"

"This……"

The captain was speechless for a moment.

According to their plan, they would probably find a group of clones with the same memories and personalities to fill the gaps, ensuring the integrity and continuity of causality in time and space. But objectively speaking, once those people die, they are truly dead.

But such words could certainly not be spoken to this emperor.

"Humph."

Although he didn't say it, the emperor could easily see through his thoughts. He snorted coldly and stretched out a hand towards the distant space.

"..."

Immediately, as if struck by a heavy blow, the emperor's arm vanished the moment he extended it, yet no blood seeped from it; the wound appeared almost vitrified. With a muffled groan, pale golden blood seeped from the corner of the emperor's mouth.

The captain stared in astonishment, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Captain, that beam of light... it's actually deflected..."

Suddenly, I heard the screams of my teammates.

What?! That beam of light was actually deflected?!

Light-years away, a beam of light underwent an extremely slight deflection. Although the angle of deflection was so small that many zeros had to be added after the decimal point, there was no doubt that it had suddenly deflected, to the point that the target was no longer heading towards the planet.

How could this ancient native actually be able to shake the power of that monster?
The beam of light wasn't large, but it was estimated to contain nearly the energy of an entire galaxy. In other words, this ancient native had actually managed to shake the entire Milky Way galaxy? Even if it was just a little bit, it did indeed shake the entire galaxy.

He stared in disbelief at the clearly severely injured youth before him. Long ago, an elder who had lived in the old human era had warned him that these ancient humans possessed a power called psionic energy. While he knew this power was strong, he had never imagined it could be this powerful.

How can the power of an individual life be used to leverage the energy of an entire river system?
Monster...

"What, aren't you also very capable of repairing the universe and capturing stars?"

The handsome young man glanced at him and snorted.

How can you even compare them?

The captain thought to himself. The universe itself has a tendency to self-correct, so as long as you cater to this need, everything will be easy and go smoothly. If a planet were to be destroyed by accident, even if the special operations team members threw a rock into space, it might just automatically condense into dust and form a planet in space, directly filling the void.

It was as if they were blessed by destiny, because the universe itself was helping them.

Therefore, the missions of the Time and Space Special Forces are mostly like the stories of a group of chosen ones, easy and enjoyable, but to actually ask them to repair planets and universes? Forget about it.

But the handsome young man paid no attention to it, because a special group of subjects had arrived.

"Your Majesty, why did those pillars of light suddenly appear? We have never recorded anything like this before."

A group of representatives asked in astonishment.

They were all time refugees who had fled from the future to the Emperor's era. The vast majority of them had fled during the era when evil gods raged. They thought they could live a carefree life in this time and space where evil gods did not exist, but unexpectedly, these destructive pillars of light suddenly appeared.

The existence of these pillars of light was completely unexpected. How could this be? There was never any record of this crisis.

The emperor looked down at his subjects and simply said...

"Even if you escape to me, one day you will still have to face the fate of battle... because the snake will eventually awaken. Now it has awakened, so prepare for our final battle."

Long ago, the emperor said this to these refugees from the future.

The only difference was that, at that time, the emperor had not yet uttered his final words.

Yes, the final battle has arrived. No matter where you flee or where you run, the final battle is here. This is a battle of destiny, a battle of destiny that was destined long ago, and no one can escape it.

……

Meanwhile, in numerous time-space fragments, all sorts of scenes are unfolding, and time-space special operations teams are frantically repairing everything.

The space above and below, and the four directions, is called the universe; the past and present are called the cosmos.

If the universe is a living organism, then its numerous spacetime fragments are cells, and these fragments together constitute a complete universe. The universe itself also has the ability to repair itself; a single spacetime fragment will not affect the safety of the entire universe. However, when a monster goes berserk, it's like a toxin spreading throughout the body, and sooner or later all spacetime will die completely.

At that time, all that remained was the empty void and a raging, rampaging monster.

But the monster's destructive power has no end; it continues to grow endlessly.

One spacetime fragment was repaired, but more spacetime fragments were hit, like firefighters who were exhausted from trying to put out fires, but couldn't keep up.

At the crucial moment in time and space, only half a minute had passed, but the time, space and people involved were countless, and the situation was only becoming more and more desperate.

"Only now do I truly understand why the Old Gods said they were invincible."

In the strange space, with her bright eyes slightly open, the new god spoke softly.
