My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 629 - 580 A Changed Era_2

"Yes, that group of rebels will die from the backlash of causality, but in their place, we will have to face a new group of rebels."

History has already been changed.

The future history can only serve as a reference; the present is a new node, and anything is possible in the future.

At this moment, as these councillors continued to discuss and strategize, Bai Suo, who was responsible for the battle, squinted his eyes and thought to himself:

"I don't have much time left, probably about three months. I will appear in this era; if I drag it out, I will meet myself and die here."

"I really have to make a move now."

His body in this era was hiding in a fragment of the Subspace Sea far away before the battle started, precisely to avoid meeting himself who had traveled back to this era.

And why would that self return in three months for sure?

Because in this hiding place, he is essentially in a temporal rift.

To put it more simply,

Thirty years ago, he vacated the position for himself in this era in advance, allowing himself in this era to travel elsewhere, so that there was no self in this era, which is why he could travel here!

Vacating the position in advance facilitates traveling to this era.

This is a little trick.

But hiding in a temporal rift is not sustainable and one can easily get lost.

It's more of a smokescreen; if the 'future self' even gets near the position where the 'present self' is hiding in the rift, problems would arise.

Li Qing is also like this.

His body had also already hidden far away in a temporal rift in some place, allowing for a period in this era without himself, facilitating the descent of his future self. (Adding a setting note)

At this moment.

"I don't have much time; I have to make a move." Bai Suo muttered, "Suddenly, he reached out a hand to grasp."

Crash.

This was when he truly started to make a move.

"What is this??" Li Qing was suddenly shaken, sensing his energy rapidly depleting.

It felt like his stamina was being completely drained.

Using any skills now would double the energy consumption.

One must realize, he was previously a perpetual motion machine!

Ordinary strong individuals can't keep up with the mana and physical strength consumed in battle.

But Li Qing is different; he uses time acceleration to quickly absorb and replenish physical strength, allowing him to maintain his perpetual motion state on the battlefield.

He could keep fighting!

This cosmic basketball court is too small, like guerrilla warfare, where these troops can only advance in small waves. Theoretically, they just line up and charge, and he could cut them all down one by one.

Li Qing glanced towards Bai Suo in the distance and thought, "So it's matter?"

This guy, seems like time + matter.

Zero-level god... Matter is the most mysterious cornerstone of all the cosmos, the transformation of mass-energy.

The other party is altering the source file parameters of the cosmos, like changing the amount of energy needed to ignite a flame from one to ten.

After all, for beings of their level, the authority they grasp is originally a local variable of the cosmos, referred to as Authority.

And this type of authority is simply a cheat.

Increasing one's consumption capacity, being surrounded and cut off is only a matter of time.

How high is Li Qing's battle intelligence? He immediately realized he was going to lose; this was a destined defeat.

However, from the beginning, he never thought he could win, challenging a population of 2.8 billion alone is impossible; removing as many as possible is already quite a feat.

"Time to go, everyone, goodbye." Li Qing made up his mind in an instant and began to tear through space, disappearing and traveling through the timeline.

Boom!

Time began to warp.

"You're just leaving like that??" Bai Suo was completely stunned; just moments ago so heated, and now seeing his real tactics, he just ran away?

Earlier, he thought she was kind, cold, and just, but now it seems her sense of justice... is somewhat flexible.

But upon careful thought, it's true that if she were rigid, she would have been killed long ago.

"I am bound to die..."

In the void, the light of the Dream Garment flashed, traveling through time and space:

"I've altered the past, the causality is broken, and my future self will not be born, not even a single similar face can be found in the future era's billions of new mortal beings."

"Yet at this farewell moment, I must take one last journey, leaving a trace of hope in history."

One could only see that person ultimately disappear, leaving the entire universe empty.

Nobody knew to which corner of time she went at the end of her life, or in which ancient era she buried her body.

And the entire cosmos was left only with the riddled Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall World beneath, and a collapsed Crystal Wall Giant Tree.

Bai Suo frowned, "She bought Elis time in the end, Elis spread her soul posthumously among the beings of All Heavens."

"I came back to change history, but she stopped me from doing so." He fell silent.

"Everything Elis did remains unchanged."

"And I can no longer travel back here once more; everything is now certain."

Bai Suo closed his eyes slightly, for some reason, suddenly recalling the image of that cold, white-robed woman angrily denouncing them with righteous words, and the courage to die for the twisted causal history on her shoulders.

"And I too should return."

Crash.

In the end, Bai Suo did not truly take action either and disappeared from this space-time, returning to thirty years later.

...

Boom....!

In a small world, inside the Sacrificial Hall, Li Qing opened his eyes again, having returned to thirty years later.

He looked around at the environment, which was already different.

The most noticeable change was his residence in this sacrificial room.

The honey pear blossoms on the balcony had turned into du-jihua flowers, the quilt had changed colors, there was one less table, and the teapot before he left was filled with tea, now it was empty.

"Everything has changed." Li Qing revealed some surprise.

It was the first time he had truly altered history, hence altering future generations as well.

But he could bear such a change.

As it was merely thirty years, it could only affect the life trajectories of mortals.

For example, in normal history, Elis had died naturally thirty years previously, and someone else was born in the years that followed, but Li Qing traveling back led to a second battle, thus that person was not born.

The faces of the new generation will change, and the era will be different.

However, the thirty-year causal backlash is primarily toward mortals because most of its influence is on them over thirty years; for him, there are no drastic changes.

Li Qing silently read through the memories of the past thirty years to examine the changes.

He had saved Elis.

Elis indeed did not die, living on in everyone's heart, and one day, the spirit of patricide arose anew, reviving her in people's hearts.

"However, Lin Qing surprisingly died." Li Qing frowned, having been a rare friend with whom he got along while secluded in the Sacrificial Hall all these years.

In original history, Lin Qing and her partner, upon witnessing the battle and Elis' death, were angry but quickly endured, starting a new life in harmony.

But after Li Qing traveled back, history changed.

He fanned the flames, accusing those fathers, so the people, hearing it, became even more enraged. Over the thirty years, the people across the worlds were no longer appeased, the rebels rose crazily, seeking to avenge the Divine King Elis.

Lin Qing was also stirred into action, joining the struggle, finally getting slaughtered in a world dozens of worlds away eight years prior.

"The variables of life and death..." Li Qing's expression changed to one of slight complexity.

Although for a moment he felt slightly guilty for getting this friend killed, leaving only an orphan and a widow, he felt more respect for time.

Only thirty short years of travel had changed the entire era's aspects; what about travel to even more distant times...

"Surely, time cannot be violated; a bit of impudence could lead to death." Li Qing felt an increased reverence for the mysterious nature of this universe, realizing he needed to be more cautious going forward. All these years, he'd become somewhat arrogant.
