Chapter 561: 561

Chapter 561: Fusion of Shards

Each shard emitted their own light, and the lights slowly merged together. As they shone on each other, the feeling in Xiao Lin’s mind intensified. As predicted, with the intensifying of that feeling, the two shards slowly began to resonate, and started to vibrate.

After that, the shards started to morph into a multicolored light as they both started to rapidly collide at the center. At the moment of the collision, they once again emitted an endless bright light that did not pale in comparison to the collision of the meteor and the blackhole at all. The energy that the two shards that were just the size of a palm contained shocked Xiao Lin.

The soundless collision only lasted for a second before everything quieted down again. Only one shard remained in the air, and the size was even smaller than the two shards before, but it emitted an even more intense light. After floating for a moment, it was called back into Xiao Lin’s body.

Not long after that, Time Rewind reached its limit and started to slowly disperse. Looking at that old man who was rapidly aging, Xiao Lin did not know what to say. The darkness was already rapidly setting back in, so Xiao Lin could only say softly, “Thank you.”

Knowing that those words would not be able to be transmitted to the distorted space and time, Xiao Lin prepared to turn back, but he heard a soft and burdened sigh in his ears, “If it’s possible, help me check on that useless idiot son of mine, Junlang. Thank you.”

Xiao Lin suddenly turned around, but darkness had already covered every corner. He could no longer see that man in the chaotic space-time, and a great power started to condense in his surroundings. However, it was not that same suction from the start. It was the opposite — an intense repelling force.

Xiao Lin lost control of his body yet again, he suddenly started to feel like he was being spun around as his surroundings started to constantly spin. At some point, Xiao Lin opened his eyes to find that he was lying on a cold floor, and the dimly glowing glass balls around him caused him to be relieved. At least, he had managed to return.

Using Time Rewind had greatly exhausted him, and after forcing himself to stand up with some effort, he no longer planned on continuing. However, he noticed that the rack was missing one glass ball, which was the recording that he was just looking at. As he narrowed his eyes to look around, he noticed shards of glass on the floor.

As he was mulling over what to do, the door opened again, and Bell poked his head, asking, “What happened? I heard some sort of commotion earlier. I need to remind you to pay attention. The memory crystals here might not all be valuable, but it will still be troublesome if they were destroyed.”

“Oh, I regret to say that your warning was a little late.”

After a few minutes…

Bell and Xiao Lin, who had already left the library, looked at each other. Xiao Lin was speechless, and Bell was noticeably angered. Xiao Lin was the first to say something as he innocently shrugged, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“What difference does that make! Do you know how important that crystal you destroyed was?! A few decades ago, the last dean had personally placed it in the restricted area, and the Supreme Council had issued a decree prohibiting anyone from looking at it!” Bell had already learned of the contents of the crystal from Xiao Lin.

“The Supreme Council? That’s true, it seemed like only they had the power to do something like that to Ivan, but why didn’t they notice?” Xiao Lin ignored Bell’s anger, and was more concerned about her words. The sealing of that crystal was probably decided by the Supreme Council.

Of course, Xiao Lin was not surprised by that. In that recording, the man had said that someone was observing their battle from Tungus River, but he was still curious as to why the Supreme Council did not take away the Shard of Creation.

However, in the end he figured out the only possibility: the first half of the recording was indeed observed, but after being sucked into the blackhole and thrown into that distorted space, others could probably not see what was happening within at all. Thanks to Xiao Lin having his Heaven’s Eye, which had been lost for tens of thousands of years, he was able to look at the truth behind the distorted space.

Yet, that still could not explain how he could accept the Shard of Creation that was hidden in there. It was possible what he saw as not actually a recording of history. At least, the last part might not be. It was possible that that memory crystal was coincidentally an entrance to a secret space, just like how Ivan had gone to the Final Lands from that distorted space. The chaos of time and space was not something Xiao Lin or anyone else could understand easily.

Xiao Lin was beginning to get a headache, and Bell was venting her anger on him when she suddenly asked coldly, “Then did you find the answer you wanted?”

Xiao Lin fell silent for a moment before bitterly smiling. “I did not really find it, but at least I got some clues. However, I did not expect the true history to be so… cruel.”

He had wanted to say it was dirty. In the past, Voyna Akademiya had worked with Dawn Academy to stop Ivanovich, and no matter the reason, it had definitely not been an upright move. However, if he thought that way, then he would even be blaming Dawn Academy, and he would have been doing it right in front of Dawn Academy’s own intelligent computer, which was definitely not the right move.

“Then I guess you did find an answer.” Bell fluttered her eyes, putting on an expression that Xiao Lin found very cute.

Xiao Lin was immediately on alert. He remembered he actually still had a deal with that girl. She had helped him find his answer in the restricted area, and now he had to tell Bell the way to change history. He suddenly asked, “You care so much about whether or not time can be rewound. Are you trying to change time?”

“That’s none of your business!” Bell glared at him angrily.

“Fine, it’s actually quite simple. You’ve mentioned it as well already; my eye is actually the extinct Heaven’s Eye from an ancient civilization. The legends aren’t wrong; the eye does possess the ability to go to the past, but regretfully, changing history isn’t that easy. If history could really be changed, then how did that ancient civilization get destroyed, and how did modern humans appear?”

“Are you trying to trick me?” Bell narrowed her eyes, her expression suddenly turning ice-cold and scary.

“No, no, I’m not lying to you. The only way to change history is through me, understand? Even if you give this eye to anyone else, they won’t be able to break the wall of time; only I can do that.”

Xiao Lin ignored the threat in Bell’s expression. His words were basically telling Bell that, if she really wanted to change time, Bell would have to help him. Otherwise, even if she took out the eye on Xiao Lin’s forehead and gave it to someone else, it would be useless.

Being able to change time lay with Xiao Lin, not with the Heaven’s Eye.

Even though Xiao Lin himself felt like it was strange and hard to believe, his experience had seemed to prove that fact true.
