Live Stream Treasure Appraisal: Your elf isn't thriving!

Chapter 662 The Projection of the God of Time Descends! You're Invincible? I Think So! A Battle of Timelines!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pokémon behind him surged with power!

The fiery belt of the Blazing Roaring Tiger burned even more fiercely, and a deep roar came from its throat, its fighting spirit rising to its peak.

Milotic floated gracefully in the water, its beautiful eyes now containing a chilling coldness capable of freezing the soul.

The sniper owl drew his bow and nocked an arrow, its emerald fletching aimed directly at Gu Cheng's throat, his killing intent locked.

Snorlax slowly rose from the ground, its massive body casting a mountain-like shadow. In its narrowed eyes, an unprecedented anger and determination to protect shone!

Not to mention the three Sacred Mushrooms in the air who had just regained their freedom and were filled with rage towards Gu Cheng and the "Nexus"!

Pink, blue, and yellow halos flowed, and the immense spiritual energy was like a volcano poised to erupt, ready to completely engulf the enemy.

The chat in the live stream exploded at that moment!

[A comeback victory! The streamer is awesome!]

[Gu Cheng is now in deep trouble! A team of three legendary Pokémon plus the streamer, how can they possibly win?]

[Quick! Retrieve Dialga's egg! We can't let it hatch!]

Justice will prevail! Gu Cheng, your end has come!

Everyone thought this was the end.

Gu Cheng is already trapped.

However, faced with a lineup that would make any champion trainer despair, Gu Cheng's face, which was originally full of panic, seemed to have found some turning point.

Slowly, a strange and manic smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe—hahahaha!"

His laughter grew louder and more unrestrained, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Ye Yinchuan, Ye Yinchuan, do you really think you've won?" Gu Cheng's eyes were filled with pity and mockery. "You think severing my connection with the Three Sacred Mushrooms will stop me?"

"You're too naive."

He slowly raised the Dialga egg in his hand, which was still shimmering with a faint light, and his tone became extremely fanatical and reverent.

"You've never been dealing with just me."

"But rather—it's me in the future, who has already taken control of time!"

"I felt it, he came to help me!"

Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!

The Dialga egg in Gu Cheng's hand suddenly erupted with an indescribable, terrifying fluctuation that distorted spacetime!

On the eggshell, the metallic patterns seemed to come alive, and deep blue cracks appeared out of thin air. What seeped out from the cracks was not the breath of life, but—a supreme divine pressure from the distant future!

hum!

The entire space of Star Moon Lake began to tremble and distort violently!

Behind Gu Cheng, a phantom spacetime rift composed of countless blue light particles was forcibly torn open!

Then, a huge and majestic silhouette slowly emerged from the crack!

It was a Pokémon whose entire body shone with a metallic luster, its form majestic like that of a four-legged behemoth! The huge rhombus-shaped crystal on its chest, like a heart, emitted a rhythmic, soul-stirring pulsation! Each pulsation caused the surrounding flow of time to become chaotic!

Its eyes gleamed with divine light, its gaze devoid of any emotion, as if traversing countless ages, coldly watching over these tiny creatures before it.

Dialga!

Although it was just a projection from the future, the terrifying sense of oppression it exuded, as if it were ruling the world and controlling the torrent of time, was incredibly real!

[Holy crap! What is that?!]

[Dialga! The Time God that the streamer explained! It—it hasn't hatched yet, has it?!]

[Wait! This is just a projection! But—this sense of oppression is terrifying! My Pokémon is trembling even through the screen!]

"Do you see that?" Gu Cheng's voice was like a devil's whisper, "This is my future power!"

Dialga's projection let out a silent roar.

The next instant, three energy chains flashing with an ominous red light shot out from the spacetime rift behind it!

The chains, of unknown origin, ignored all physical and energy defenses and wrapped around the three sacred mushrooms in mid-air with a speed beyond logic!

"Hoichi!"

"Buzz—!"

「哈

The three sacred mushrooms let out terrified cries in unison. They tried to resist with their spiritual power, but all their resistance seemed pale and powerless in the face of those mysterious chains!

In an instant, the three powerful lake gods were like lambs to the slaughter, bound tightly by red chains and unable to move!

The red chains completely imprisoned the power of the Three Sacred Mushrooms, and then slowly dragged them in front of Gu Cheng.

Seeing this, "Nexus" regained a morbid ecstasy on his broken face. He staggered forward and took control of the three bound Lake Gods once again.

"Hahaha! My brothers! We—we did it!"

This scene sent a chill down Ye Yinchuan's spine and sent all the spectators into a cold sweat.

Can the forces of the future interfere with the present?

This is no longer a battle, but a crushing defeat from a higher dimension!

"Ye Yinchuan, the game is over." Gu Cheng looked at Ye Yinchuan's gloomy face and revealed a victor's smile. "This time, can Celebi still help you? I'm afraid it won't even dare to show its face!"

Dialga's projection slowly raised its head.

The crystal on its chest shone brightly!

"Hoichi!!!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens!

However, this is not the destructive energy of "Time Roar".

With that roar, the whole world seemed to be put on pause.

The ripples on the lake froze, the falling leaves stood still in mid-air, and all of Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon's attempts to launch attacks and their forward dashes were frozen in place at this moment.

They can think, see, and hear, but they cannot move an inch.

Time has been cut off!

In this frozen space-time, only Gu Cheng and his men are free to move around.

Holding Dialga's egg and the three legendary mushrooms that had been regained control, he walked unhurriedly toward the pre-prepared aircraft.

The moment he stepped onto the hatch, he turned around and gave Ye Yinchuan, who was frozen in place, one last look with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.

His lips curled into a ferocious grin, and his voice was filled with boundless arrogance and smugness.

"If my future self successfully hatches the God of Time and can manipulate the past at will —"

"So, this means—"

"I, Gu Cheng, am invincible! Hahahaha!"

Amidst wild laughter, the aircraft soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.

As Dialga's projection slowly dissipated, the frozen time began to flow again.

The lake water continued to ripple, and the leaves continued to fall.

However, the Ancient Treasure, the Three Sacred Mushrooms, and the Dialga egg have long since disappeared.

Only Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon remained, along with hundreds of millions of viewers in the live stream, who fell into a deathly silence.

The moment time resumed its flow, the arrow aimed at the tree owl was released, but it only struck the empty night sky.

The roar of the Blazing Roaring Tiger rolled through its throat, but it lost its target.

The faces of all the Pokémon were filled with resentment and anger.

They had never felt such a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

It wasn't a loss in terms of strength, but a loss to the untouchable "time".

After a brief silence, the live stream chat was flooded with despair and panic.

It's over—it's all over—

[Future forces interfering with the present? How can we fight that? This is blatant cheating!]

[Gu Cheng is truly about to become invincible! With the Three Sacred Mushrooms, it's only a matter of time before Dialga hatches. Then he can truly do whatever he wants!]

Have we already lost?

Pessimistic sentiments, like a virus, spread rapidly around the world via the internet.

However, amidst this chaos and despair, at the eye of the storm, Ye Yinchuan remained unusually calm.

He slowly withdrew his gaze from the night sky, his face showing neither anger nor resentment, only a deep, thoughtful calm.

"Come back, everyone."

He spoke softly, recalling the Pokémon one by one.

He could sense the frustration in his companions' hearts. He gently stroked Snorlax's belly and patted Milotic's body, trying to soothe them with his actions.

"Host————"

The alliance technician beside him spoke in a trembling voice, but didn't know what to say.

Ye Yinchuan turned around and faced the camera again, facing those hundreds of millions of hearts that had sunk to the bottom.

His eyes were clear and firm.

"Everyone, please calm down."

His voice, transmitted clearly through the live broadcast, reached everyone's ears with a peculiar, comforting power.

"Is Gu Cheng truly invincible? Is the future already predetermined?"

Instead of answering directly, he asked a question.

"If the future that Gu Cheng spoke of is a predetermined and unchangeable final outcome, then since he is already invincible in the future, why didn't he simply go back to an earlier point in time, before I obtained the Giratina egg, or even before I was born, and completely eliminate me, this 'variable'?"

"Why did he only send a projection to rescue him in his current state, instead of using the power of time to completely erase us all from this timeline?"

"Could he have just killed me, eliminated me as his rival?"

Ye Yinchuan's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the fog in everyone's hearts!

Yes!

If Gu Cheng were truly invincible, he could have gone even further and more thoroughly!

Why did he leave Ye Yinchuan, the biggest threat, alive?

[Yes! The host makes a good point! This doesn't make sense!]

Does this mean that the power of the future cannot interfere with the past at will? Is it subject to some kind of limitation?

[I get it! It's like the grandfather paradox! If he killed your past self, then who defeated your future self? The timeline will contradict itself!]

Ye Yinchuan successfully guided the audience's thinking, leading them to break free from despair and engage in rational thought.

A knowing glint flashed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes.

"That's right, there must be limitations, or rather, costs, that we don't yet understand."

In his mind, the image of the shrine maiden who had traveled from another time and space appeared.

"I have witnessed firsthand the possibilities from another dimension," he said slowly, as if speaking to the audience, but also to himself. "That proves that the future is not a one-way street, but rather has countless forks, full of..."

A river fraught with uncertainty.

"What Gu Cheng showed us may only be one of the possibilities that is most advantageous to him. But that doesn't mean that other possibilities don't exist."

He paused, then used a metaphor that everyone could understand.

"The current situation is like Schrödinger's cat. Until the box is opened, the cat's life or death is forever in a superposition state."

"And we are the ones who have the chance to open the box ourselves. It's too early to say whether the future will be a victory for Gu Cheng or for us."

"We still have a chance to fight!"

These words were powerful and resounding, brimming with confidence and infectious energy.

The despair that had filled the live stream room was swept away and replaced by renewed hope and fighting spirit!

[The streamer is awesome! I was almost intimidated by that Gu Cheng guy!]

Schrödinger's future! This analogy is so apt! As long as we don't give up, the outcome is still uncertain!

That's right! We also have streamers! We also have Giratina!

However, despite this, the public opinion surrounding the event was not optimistic after the live broadcast ended.

The news that Gu Cheng had escaped with the Dialga Egg and the Three Sacred Mushrooms swept across the world like a Category 12 superstorm.

Major news media outlets, online forums, experts, and scholars are all working through the night to analyze the current situation.

The conclusions reached almost all leaned towards the pessimistic side.

"The addition of the three legendary mushrooms will undoubtedly greatly accelerate Dialga's hatching process. The infusion of these three primal powers—emotion, knowledge, and will—will likely give this god of time terrifying strength far exceeding that of ordinary legendary Pokémon from the moment it is born."

"On the other hand, although Ye Yinchuan possesses the egg of Giratina, the god of antimatter, according to the information from the Kunlun Ruins, that egg is inherently severely deficient. Even with the nourishment of the Fountain of Life, hatching is a long way off, let alone keeping up with Dialga's growth rate."

"With this ebb and flow, the gap in strength between the two sides will only widen. From a strategic perspective, Ye Yinchuan has already fallen into an absolute disadvantage."

Immediately, voices predicting its demise arose.

Many people believe that although Ye Yinchuan has temporarily stabilized public sentiment, this is merely a short-sighted solution.

Faced with Gu Cheng, who could manipulate time, he had lost all hope of turning the tide.

Ye Yinchuan ignored the various discussions from the outside world.

He returned to the Elf Paradise and looked at the Giratina egg that was quietly floating in the Fountain of Life, his eyes calm yet resolute.

Disadvantages?

gap?

He admitted to all of these.

But he also possesses a trump card that no one can imagine.

That's a live streaming system.

"Theoretically, my strength has no upper limit," Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself, his expression solemn yet filled with unwavering confidence.

"Gu Cheng, you can connect to the future. But I can create legends."

"Taking it easy, continuing to stream, and improving my own and my Pokémon's strength is my only and best way to break through this situation right now."

He can't wait to start the next live stream.

He needs to unlock the next [Legend Simulator] as soon as possible.

He will rewrite the fate of Giratina and the world!

three days later.

While the whole world was still shrouded in the shadow of the "Diallo crisis," Ye Yinchuan's live broadcast room quietly started.

The title remains the same familiar one: "Back to Basics, Online Chat, Identify Your Pokémon!"

This move instantly caused a huge uproar online.

As soon as the live stream started, a flood of comments poured in.

This time, however, the comments were no longer lighthearted and expectant, but filled with doubt, anxiety, and even accusations.

[Host? Are you kidding me? At a time like this, you still have the mood for some kind of live-streamed treasure appraisal?!]

[Gu Cheng is practically shitting on our heads! Dialga could hatch at any moment! Aren't you worried at all?]

[I thought the streamer was going to do something big, but this is all? Have they given up?]

[Sigh, I understand the streamer. After all, the opponent is the God of Time; anyone would be desperate in that situation.]

Despite the barrage of questions on screen, Ye Yinchuan appeared on camera right on time.

He remained as calm and collected as ever, as if the turbulent waves of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He didn't rush to start the live stream; instead, he looked at the comments and smiled faintly.

Everyone seems to be in a hurry.

He picked up the teacup beside him, took a small sip, and then said slowly, "I have a question for everyone."

"If Gu Cheng really has extraordinary abilities and can manipulate time at will, firmly grasping the future in his own hands—"

"Then why hasn't he made a move yet?"

"Why am I still able to sit here peacefully and do a live stream for you guys?"

A simple sentence, yet it struck the hearts of every audience member like a morning bell and evening drum.

Yes!

If Gu Cheng is truly invincible, why doesn't he eliminate the streamer, this major threat?

Why does the world maintain a semblance of peace?

This is unreasonable!

Ye Yinchuan's words were like a key, instantly unlocking everyone's thinking.

"So, don't panic." Ye Yinchuan put down his teacup, his voice steady yet filled with undeniable power. "He can't do it. At least not now."

"We still have time and opportunities. What we need to do is make good use of this time and opportunities and do what we should do."

A few words, yet they achieved a great effect with minimal effort.

Not only did he instantly calm the public's panic, but he also displayed his composure and confidence to the fullest.

The tide in the live stream turned in an instant.

[Awesome! This streamer has such a broad perspective! He must have a plan in mind!]

[Hearing your words is worth more than reading books for ten years! I understand now! Our own anxious worry is completely useless!]

[Damn, I almost got caught up in the hype! The streamer's right, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; we should just go about our business!]

[I'm a fan now! Just for that unwavering composure in the face of adversity, I'm a lifelong follower for this streamer!]

Seeing the change in the comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that conveying confidence was far more effective in uniting people than simply demonstrating strength.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's see which friend needs my help today."

He skillfully operated the backend, his eyes scanning through countless flashing live chat requests.

Soon, an unusual application caught his attention.

The reasons for the application were filled with anxiety and confusion.

[Help, streamer! Our village is cursed! A white, ominous Pokémon has brought a series of disasters!]

Please help us think of a solution!

"Oh? An ominous Pokémon?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes, and he casually answered the application.

The camera shook for a moment, and a seemingly simple and honest young man appeared in front of the lens.

His background seems to be a small village built against the mountain, with a quiet environment, but the air is filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Host! You finally answered!" The young man was so excited when he saw Ye Yinchuan that he was almost incoherent. "Please help us! Our village has been having such bad luck lately!"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Ye Yinchuan reassured him.

The young man took a deep breath and began to recount the strange things that had happened in the village.

"Host, our village is called Ping'an Village. Our ancestors have lived in these mountains for generations, and we've always had good weather and abundant harvests. But, starting about two weeks ago, strange things have been happening one after another!"

"First, there was a landslide on the mountain behind the village, which almost buried the fields at the entrance of the village!"

"Then, just two days later, the river in the mountains suddenly swelled and washed away the bridge we had just built!"

"What happened the day before yesterday was even stranger. Many Pokémon in the village suddenly fell ill, vomiting and having diarrhea!"

The young man's face was filled with lingering fear and confusion.

"At first we thought it was an accident, but then we found out it wasn't!" His voice was low, tinged with fear. "Because before each incident, villagers saw a pure white Pokémon appear nearby!"

"It looks—very beautiful, but the horns on its head, like a black sickle, are terrifying to look at! The old folks in the village all say it's an ominous creature that brings disaster! It brought bad luck to our village!"

A scythe-like black horn, entirely white, appears before disaster strikes —

A few keywords instantly sketched a clear image of a Pokémon in Ye Yinchuan's mind.

His expression immediately became playful!
