In front of the mighty power of time, fate seems so insignificant; Lin You, who has been going smoothly since the growth of the Tree of Destiny, finally experienced the helplessness of being unable to control his own destiny once again.

The "sands of time" in his body began to echo the "hourglass of time", and the time left for him to say goodbye to Diana was extremely short; before he could say a few more words, the time and space oscillation reached its peak.

Lin You had no chance to resist and was directly sent into the space-time channel.

The "Time Forbidden Zone" was a mistake, and Lin You's use of the "Sands of Time" to enter this time and space was also considered a "mistake". Therefore, when the "Sands of Time" were successfully recovered and the time storm dissipated, the "Time Forbidden Zone" collapsed, and Lin You was inevitably taken away by the "Sands of Time".

In this regard, he was treated differently from the four main gods of Northern Europe, because the main gods of Northern Europe had been hiding in this period of time and space before the "Time Forbidden Zone" was formed.

So, when the writer was forced to leave, the four main gods who were poisoned by snake venom and unconscious were still lying on the platform, with a pile of odds and ends beside them, all of which were little gadgets collected by Lin You after he came to this time and space.

However, when the time forbidden zone collapsed, the actions of the gods were no longer restricted; the eyes of the Supreme God almost immediately fell on this time and space, and on these losers.

Gazes from different sources carry different meanings.

Odin could not hide his disappointment and began to plan what to do after the failure; God and Chronos were very pleased and now they just had to wait for the writer to calm the final agitation of the "Sand of Time" and come out of the space-time channel so that they could declare the mission accomplished.

But Lin You couldn't get out for a while. Unlike the previous time when he was sent into the time forbidden zone by God, the writer at that time arrived at the destination in a blink of an eye, but his body felt as uncomfortable as if he was stuffed into a drum washing machine and rolled over a thousand times.

This time when he came out of the time restricted zone, Lin You kept his eyes wide open; although he still couldn't control the starting point and end point of the time travel, and couldn't even interfere with what happened during the journey, he could at least see everything along the way clearly.

The space-time channel is like a kaleidoscope, with thousands of complex patterns, but if you look closely, you will see different earths and big worlds at different points in time. These countless big worlds are not parallel universes, but projections of the same big world at different points in time.

Lin You himself is like an omnipresent and unprovable "string" in the universe, constantly passing through one projection after another, like a flying golf ball, uncontrollably thrown towards the final landing point.

During the continuous flight, Lin You confirmed one thing: time is not a straight line, but a ray - at least the time in the big world is a ray.

The rays have a clear starting point, which is the day when the gods created the framework of the great world.

From the perspective of time dimension, this starting point is just an ordinary day in the real dimension, a certain point in time in an ordinary day.

This is the relationship between the big world timeline and the real dimension timeline: the former is naturally intertwined with the latter from the moment it appears.

Also from the moment it appeared, the starting point of that timeline became the origin that people and gods in the timeline of the big world could not return to. Therefore, the big world can be destroyed and changed, but no one can reshape it from the source.

You can get close to it, but you can never reach it; you can see it, but you can never reach it. Even the Supreme God can only use time, but cannot completely control it.

This is also why Lin You and Diana both confirmed that they had to wait until 1994 to meet again; because the concept of "first time" had been determined from the moment they met.

Lin You could not go back to 1920, 1930 or any other era in between to see Diana; nor could Diana meet Lin You at any point in time before 1994 - even if both of them already existed in the world at those points in time.

Lin You was observing and comprehending when suddenly a tall figure emerged from the time restricted area. This figure, like the writer, looked as disheveled as if he had been hit by a stick, and caught up with the writer's "footsteps" like a meteor chasing the moon.

"Oh, it's you. I was wondering when you would come out!" Lin You smiled and greeted the other party. His voice was not only heard by the tall figure, but also by every shadow of the big world he passed by. I wonder if anyone in the world at different time points was startled by the sudden voice.

The tall figure came from behind but arrived first, not only catching up with Lin You, but also surpassing him at an extremely high speed; hearing Lin You's teasing, the other party's face turned ugly, with seven parts panic and three parts murderous intent.

Unfortunately, due to the different "speeds" of both parties, the contact time was extremely limited, and there was no chance to kill or silence the witness at all; just as Lin You finished speaking, the other party had "whoosh" passed by him and disappeared into another period of time and space.

"Heh, so he hid at another time point first, and then used the 'Sand of Time' to enter the time restricted area." Lin You saw through the other party's previous actions at a glance and sneered, "Sneaky and deliberate."

The tall figure flying over was none other than Patrick Morgan's most secret back-up plan in the time restricted zone. He was also the god who opened up a space channel at the last moment and tried to rescue Sir Morgan with his sword.

Although he didn't see the other person's face during the brief fight, Lin You recognized the other person's sword and swordsmanship skills. Now that he saw the other person appear in the space-time channel, he finally confirmed his identity.

Hercules, the true god from Mount Olympus, also entered the "Forbidden Zone of Time" after the formation of the Forbidden Zone of Time by borrowing the power of "Sand of Time". Now, like the author, he was "kicked" out by the collapsed "Forbidden Zone of Time"; as a result, he collided with the author face to face in the space-time channel.

Although Hercules is not a brainless giant, he is also not the kind of god who engages in conspiracy; in collusion with the God of Truth, He is at most an executor. As long as you look behind Hercules, the real messenger is about to be revealed.

Lin You continues to "fly" in the space-time channel, and "leading the way" in front of him is the "hourglass of time"; the constantly turning hourglass looks like the propeller of a piston airplane, providing "flying" power for the writer behind him.

Golden sand continuously falls out of the "hourglass", floating in the space-time channel like a golden ribbon drifting in the wind.

The end of the gauze just "wrapped" Lin You; once those floating golden sand particles came into contact with Lin You's body, they immediately sank into his skin, merged into his blood, bones, flesh, and every cell, and merged with the "Sand of Time" that was previously in his body.

The power of time was gathering and growing in the writer's body, not even giving him the chance to object or refuse. Lin You had experienced this "domineering" style before, and the result was that his body was forced to grow up prematurely - and there was no chance for him to object.

Lin You suddenly discovered that in the process of integrating the "Sand of Time", the distance between him and the "Hourglass of Time" was also shrinking; from "hard to catch up" at first, to "within reach" later. When he grabbed the "Hourglass of Time", he just got out of the space-time channel and returned to the original time point.

The golden light on the hourglass gradually dissipated; compared with before, less than half of the "sand of time" remained. Looking up and around, Lin You found that this was not the Garden of Eden, but the big world; in the middle of the vast desert, an abandoned castle in the ancient Persian style was half buried under the yellow sand.

"The former residence of the Queen of Time?" Lin You barely recognized the original appearance of the castle; this is the remaining ruins after the story of "Prince of Persia" was integrated into the big world. It is the castle where the Queen of Time lived during the time when the story took place.

It was here that Lin You was stabbed by the "Dagger of Time" and was forced to merge with the "Sand of Time". Now, guided by the "Hourglass of Time", he has returned here again.

However, things have changed and the Time Queen has long since died. Not only has her body turned into "Sands of Time", but it has also been consumed to the point of being reduced to one tenth due to the creation of the "Time Forbidden Zone".

Perhaps, returning to this old home is the final obsession of the "Sands of Time".

Lin You looked up at the sky, and without much thought, decided to ignore the two old guys in the Garden of Eden for the time being. He turned around and opened the dimensional door to go home.

There is a woman at home who has been waiting for him for more than ninety years.

The moment he stepped through the dimensional gate, he heard a cheerful laughter without any real content; accompanied by the sound of "puff puff puff" footsteps, a petite figure of five heads tall stumbled over and threw itself into the arms of the writer.

But there was another figure that was faster than the little guy; before Lin You reached out to hug Minerva, a pair of slender and strong arms reached out from behind and gently embraced him.

"You're back, dear." The voice was gentle, sounding one part strange and nine parts familiar.

Both strange and familiar; because to Diana, the Lin You at this moment was the Lin You who had experienced the 19th century and had lived with her day and night for more than half a year, not the Lin You who had only lived in the 1990s.

Lin You in the 20th century was “just” Diana’s “new” boyfriend, and their physical relationship was even deeper than their emotional relationship. Lin You, who had experienced the 19th century, was the lover who took Diana to understand human society, make human friends, and wrote a rich and colorful chapter on a blank piece of paper with strokes for more than half a year.

For Lin You, it was just a moment of traveling through time and space, but for Diana, it was nearly a century; it took her a century to wait for the return of that "familiar" lover.

"I'm back." Lin You turned around and hugged Diana face to face. "I will come back to you even without the Lasso of Truth."

Diana laughed out loud, tears in her eyes, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she wished she could rub into Lin You's body.

The two were looking at each other affectionately, but unexpectedly the other girl next to them had her face puffed up like a bun.

"You all ignore me, I'm angry!" Minerva said angrily in a baby voice, grabbing the hem of Lin You's clothes with her little hands and pulling them back hard, trying to pull her brother out of his "sister's" arms.

The little guy was very happy at first, and ran over to greet him as soon as he sensed his brother's presence reappeared. However, when he was about to reach him, his brother suddenly turned around to hug someone else, leaving only his butt facing him.

Miss Minerva had never been treated so coldly before. Her face immediately fell, and then her cheeks began to inflate. But even when she was about to "explode", her brother didn't turn around, so she finally couldn't help but take action.

Children of five or six years old are just at the age when they have a lot of brute force; Minerva suddenly reached out and pulled Lin You out of Diana's arms.

"Haha, don't be angry. If you get angry, you'll turn into a frog." Lin You rubbed the little girl's head and couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. "A frog is okay, but a toad would be too ugly."

How could the chubby cheeks withstand the strength of the adults? Lin You pinched Minerva with two fingers, and Minerva's strength was broken on the spot. Her cheeks that were filled with air deflated inward, and her little mouth puffed out air, which made the two unscrupulous adults laugh.

The little girl who had made such a big mistake was even more unwilling to do it!

Because of anger, her little face turned red, her delicate features wrinkled, and her little hands grabbed Lin You's fingers and pried them apart, as if she wanted to break a few of them on the spot.

"Oh my, I was wrong, I was wrong." Lin You reached out and picked up the little girl, and then Minerva found herself surrounded by two adults. "How about this, let's hug each other."

"Minerva was very worried about you. She had been searching for your presence for the past few hours without stopping for a moment. She was the first one to notice you when you came back." Diana explained with a smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at the little girl.

Although she was nominally a "sister", Diana now looked at Minerva not only as an older sister, but also as the way her mother looked at her when they lived on Paradise Island.

Minerva can now understand what adults say. She snorted through her little nose, as if she didn't accept Diana's kindness at all. Children of this age are most possessive. She opened her arms and lay in her brother's arms, wanting to occupy her brother's arms alone and not share any with others.

After confirming his "exclusive rights", the little guy felt extremely satisfied psychologically. He squinted his eyes comfortably and soon began to snore. He twisted his body in a daze, found a more comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Seeing the little girl's childish behavior, Lin You and Diana smiled at each other. Lin You moved the light little thing to his left arm and stretched out his right hand towards Diana.

So, when Minerva slept until noon the next day, when she woke up, she found that she was no longer in her brother's arms, but lying back on the small bed in the bedroom.

The little guy was in a bad mood when he woke up and felt resentful of being "abandoned". He began to inflate his cheeks with puffs of air. Without waiting for the housekeeper to help him change his clothes, he jumped out of bed in his pajamas and ran to his brother's room with his short legs.

But when she ran across the corridor to her brother's door, she found it locked; she couldn't push it open, and no one answered when she knocked. Even when she used brute force with her hands glowing golden, she was still helpless. Her strength was always dispelled by a mysterious force on the door that also glowed golden.

After struggling for a while, he finally ran away stomping his feet under the comfort of the old housekeeper. (End of this chapter)
