I will burn books and slay gods.

As the smoke and dust cleared and the guards left, the mine fell into a deathly silence.

At that moment, a slight distortion of space appeared at the site of the explosion.

Inside the mysterious space, Wang Xiaoming gradually woke up, shaking his head. The explosion had made him dizzy.

Chen Ye and Lin Su, who were also in the same space, gradually woke up from their coma.

Until he clearly opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, he was shocked and stood up, looking around at everything.

"Where is this place?"

Wang Xiaoming stared in disbelief at the endless expanse of water around him.

The three of them were standing on a sleeping object, but they had not yet noticed the reflection of that object beneath the surface.

The three of them each possessed an aura of a different color.

Just then, Wang Xiaoming noticed the situation, pointed to the water, and described what he had seen.

In addition, Chen Ye discovered a giant, glowing tree planted on the water's surface.

"Look!"

Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming looked in the direction Chen Ye pointed.

The two found nothing ahead.

Then she looked at Chen Ye and asked, "What are you showing us?"

Chen Ye pointed firmly to the giant, glowing tree he saw, proving that he had indeed seen it.

However, at this moment, Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming could not see anything.

At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that only I can see it?"

After Chen Ye uttered those words, Lin Su suddenly spoke up: "Chen Ye, could this be a space you created?!"

Chen Ye shook his head; he didn't know, and he was even less clear about it.

He only felt that, at the moment the three of them were hit by the elemental attack, time seemed to stand still.

In that instant, he lost all consciousness.

It wasn't until I woke up in that space that I came to my senses again.

Chen Ye himself didn't know how this space came about.

"Chen Ye, didn't you say you could see a glowing tree? Come closer and take a look. What are its characteristics?"

Lin Su spoke up to Chen Ye, expressing her thoughts and explaining.

Then Chen Ye slowly walked towards the giant tree he had seen until he arrived at its base.

Chen Ye stared intently at the appearance of the giant tree.

On the canopy of the giant tree, there are fruits of different colors that shine like stars in the sky.

Chen Ye slowly approached the giant tree until he stepped onto the lush grass beneath it.

However, in front of Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming, Chen Ye was indeed standing there motionless, staring at the giant tree.

No matter how much Lin Su called out, Chen Ye did not respond.

Wang Xiaoming was also shouting loudly at Chen Ye, but Chen Ye remained silent.

This made Wang Xiaoming a little angry, and he thought that Chen Ye was deliberately not answering.

She stormed over to Chen Ye, wanting to ask him what had happened.

"Thump!"

A dull thud made Wang Xiaoming step aside and sit down on the ground with a thud.

Lin Su was surprised by this situation.

Wang Xiaoming seemed to have hit a wall and was bounced back.

Upon witnessing this, Lin Su walked to the spot where Wang Xiaoming had collided and reached out to touch it.

When Lin Su's palm touched an invisible wall, she found that the wall stretched out for a long time, making it impossible for the two of them to pass.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming stood up again, walked to Lin Su's side, and reached out to touch her.

They both touched that invisible wall, preventing them from moving forward.

Seeing Chen Ye gazing up at the giant tree, motionless, the two couldn't help but feel worried.

Lin Su then released flames in an attempt to destroy it.

However, when Lin Su tried to condense a flame, she was surprised to find that no matter how she tried, the flame in her hand did not appear.

Lin Su was surprised to discover that there seemed to be some concept in this space that was preventing her from releasing her flames.

Wang Xiaoming tried to use the causal link to find out what was blocking him.

It wasn't until Wang Xiaoming used his ability that he was shocked to discover that no matter how he used it, the causal thread would always break instantly.

In this mysterious space, all of their abilities became ineffective.

In this situation, all they could do was shout loudly to Chen Ye, hoping he could hear them.

But for Chen Ye at this moment, it was indeed impossible for him to hear it.

At this moment, Chen Ye is in another space, a space so real that he is standing on the grass.

Chen Ye came to the grass, looked up at the giant tree, and stared at it intently.

Suddenly, a sweet voice asked, "Who are you?"

Startled by the question, Chen Ye looked around in a panic, trying to find out who was speaking.

But no matter how Chen Ye searched, all he could find was a giant, sprawling tree.

Just then, one of the glowing fruits on the treetop emitted a dazzling light.

After the light dissipated, what appeared before Chen Ye was a woman dressed in Dunhuang attire, lying on her side on a tree branch.

With his eyes fixed on Chen Ye, Chen Ye was so shocked by the situation that he couldn't speak.

"Who are you?"

Chen Ye asked the woman.

"You're hilarious, coming to my house and asking who I am?"

How did you get here?

The woman asked Chen Ye her question.

Chen Ye pondered for a while, unsure how to answer, since he himself had come here by chance.

Chen Ye then recounted everything that had just happened to the woman in front of him without offering any further explanation.

After hearing Chen Ye's explanation, the woman floated down from under the giant tree and landed in front of Chen Ye.

They looked Chen Ye up and down, as if scrutinizing him, trying to discern something from him.

But finding nothing amiss, it floated back to the branch and sat down on it.

"I am one of the guardians here, my name is Sanhua."

"These shining stars above are my older brothers and sisters; they are very far away."

Sanhua introduced herself.

Similarly, Chen Ye introduced himself to Sanhua.

"Chen Ye?"

When Sanhua heard Chen Ye's name, she was first shocked, then worried.

"You shouldn't have come here so early."

"It will probably be several hundred years before you arrive here."

After listening to Sanhua's account, Chen Ye was first shocked, then puzzled.

"You know me?" Chen Ye asked.

Sanhua nodded and explained, "Of course! But you arrived here far too early. Much earlier than expected. My brothers and sisters won't wake up for a long time. We were supposed to be the ones looking for you. But instead, you've come here first."

After hearing Sanhua's explanation, Chen Ye became increasingly interested in the future.

Just then, Sanhua floated down from the tree branch again and walked up to Chen Ye.

"Don't move, let me check, see if it's there, it's already appeared," Sanhua said.

Then Sanhua turned her palm towards Chen Ye, and a blue light was released.

After a short while, the blue light slowly dissipated.

When Sanhua opened her eyes, her gaze was filled with even more confusion as she asked, "It...it hasn't appeared yet...how could this be?"

"What is it?" Chen Ye asked.

"It is..."

Sanhua's words came to an abrupt end, without answering Chen Ye's question.

This made Chen Ye even more anxious. "Can't you tell me?"

Sanhua shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. This is your future choice, and I can't tell you it directly."

"The future direction depends mainly on your choices. What you choose will determine the future's trajectory. It's your own choice, and I have no right to interfere. Once you've made your choice, perhaps I can help you. But for now, I can only watch and cannot offer assistance."

Then Sanhua explained to Chen Ye, "Perhaps you were able to come here because the future has changed, altering the trajectory of this place."

"Or perhaps, it's the future..."

Sanhua's words came to an abrupt end again, without any further explanation.

Then, Sanhua spoke to Chen Ye again, "I'm going to go into slumber again. I hope to see you again next time. Before that, I'll give you something. This is a task assigned to me by my older siblings; no matter when I see you, I must give you this."

Then, a ball of light emitting a blue glow appeared in Sanhua's palm, and under Chen Ye's gaze, it merged into Chen Ye's body.

"Remember, you must not tell anyone that you saw me."

"This is something you must keep to yourself; it will affect your future. Remember this, you must not tell anyone!"

Sanhua spoke seriously to Chen Ye.

Afterwards, under Chen Ye's watchful gaze, Sanhua returned to her own blue star and fell into a deep sleep.

Then, a wave of dizziness swept into Chen Ye's mind...

When Chen Ye regained his senses and opened his eyes, he found that the giant tree that had been in front of him was nowhere to be seen.

It was as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

Chen Ye turned to look at Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming on his left.

Seeing them shouting in this direction, Lin Su and the other two also saw Chen Ye looking in their direction.

As Lin Su and the other person waved, Chen Ye waved back.

Suddenly, the three of them felt a strong sense of repatriation, as if they were being released from this space.

Before the three could react, they emerged from the mysterious space.

Back in the original mine, the three of them felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The three of them, having regained their senses, slowly stood up and found that their surroundings were still the same as before.

Before Chen Ye could react, Wang Xiaoming suddenly appeared in front of him.

Grabbing Chen Ye's shoulders with both hands, she said, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer when I called you?"

Chen Ye suddenly remembered Sanhua's words, "What you are saying here cannot be said, as it will affect your future."

Chen Ye then made up a story and casually told it to Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming.

He did not tell the two what he had seen.

Following Chen Ye's suggestion, the three decided to continue their search along the mine shaft where the guards had left.

Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming agreed with Chen Ye's idea.

They continued their journey towards the mine.
