Beast Taming Patrol-Chapter 1597 - 447: The Final Battle (5) [Endgame Countdown: 3]

The River of Time is the confluence of the past, present, and future of all living beings in a world.

What would the riverbed be like? What lies beneath it?

These questions never crossed Qiuqiu's mind.

But now, fully aware of the Time Master's trickiness, Qiuqiu, without hesitation, charged into the collapsing vortex of the River of Time along with it to prevent it from escaping.

In the next moment upon entering the vortex, Qiuqiu seemed to enter a bizarre tunnel.

A plethora of creatures and scenes from the past, present, and future continually surfaced on the tunnel's inner walls, endlessly flashing before Qiuqiu's eyes, seemingly infinite.

Not far ahead in the tunnel, it saw the figure of the Time Master once more.

But before Qiuqiu could act, the Time Master had already disappeared at the other end of the tunnel.

This made its expression tense, and it unhesitatingly pursued, disappearing into the glow at the other end of the tunnel as well.

In the next instant, the two entered another space-time.

In this space-time, aside from the newly intruded Time Master, there stood another Time Master.

That was the Time Master originally existing in this space-time.

Qiuqiu turned its head towards the other side, its ice-blue pupils instantly contracting.

When their eyes met, it immediately recognized that this was itself from this space-time.

Already having broken through to the mythic tier, but in the form of an Arctic Dream Demon!

In this moment, it and the Time Master seemed to be engaged in a battle as well.

However, the one at a disadvantage was itself in the form of an Arctic Dream Demon.

And when Qiuqiu felt a connection and looked elsewhere, it saw the figures of the other five little ones.

However, perhaps due to a butterfly effect, the other five little ones in this space-time were not as strong as those in its original space-time, resulting in an equally intense battle.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

The two beings from the original space-time did not expect that a plunge into the collapsing River of Time would lead them to another parallel space-time.

Nor did the entities of this space-time expect that at the critical moment of their battle, their counterparts from another space-time would leap out of the River of Time.

But it only took an instant for them, being of the Time system's mythic tier, to understand what was happening.

"The other me from another space-time, how weak!" The Time Master from this space-time chuckled, abandoning the Qiuqiu of this space-time and, without hesitation, charged at the Qiuqiu from the original space-time.

"Why don't you try and see!" The Time Master from the original space-time snorted coldly and, without hesitation, attacked the slightly weaker Qiuqiu of this space-time.

In this moment, the cause and effect of different space-times intertwined, and for the final victory, the two Time Masters resolutely chose to swap opponents.

The Time Master of this space-time in its perfect state faced the Qiuqiu from the original space-time, who had already gained the upper hand.

The Time Master from the original space-time, already severely wounded, confronted the Qiuqiu from this space-time, who was also disadvantaged and in poor condition.

"Kill!"

The two Qiuqius' eyes shone with a fierce fighting spirit, exchanging a mere glance before simultaneously engaging in battle.

In this space-time, the four mythical-tier beings clashed once more.

During the battle, perhaps due to their shared origin, the paths of the Qiuqius from different space-times intertwined, as did the paths of the Time Masters.

In this intertwining, they gradually understood each other's past and discovered the root of the differences between the space-times.

The Qiuqiu from this space-time momentarily froze time and the river with the utmost Eternal Freeze Storm, temporarily suppressing the heavily wounded Time Master of the original space-time, then couldn't help but glance in the direction of Qiuqiu.

Eternal Stone…

Was this truly the cause of everything?

Scenes from the past instantly flashed through Qiuqiu's mind in this space-time.

It did not choose the Eternal Stone in this space-time; instead, it selected another Time system treasure from the Immortal Phoenix Sect's Treasure Hall.

An eighth-level resource, the Time Feather.

From that resource, it acquired a very powerful Time system skill, and thus the Qiuqiu of this space-time always believed that its choice had been the best.

And because it hadn't comprehended the eternal rules, the Qiuqiu that entered the One Life Reincarnation Hall did not emerge with the same understanding as the Qiuqiu from the original space-time during the long wait in the Endless Sea, leading to different rules upon exiting the One Life Reincarnation Hall, and prior to heading to the Northern God Realm, did not undergo yet another transformation using the Return to the Secret Realm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The Qiuqiu from this space-time also entered the Northern God Realm's Supplement Heaven Secret Realm, yet due to the constraints of the rules, it did not acquire the Time's Heart within the Time Shape, thus its use of the Time Scripture was significantly limited.

Though it elevated its own Time system rules to a very high level during a millennium on Blue Star, the rules of the Qiuqiu from this space-time were not elevated to the quasi-dao level before breaking through the mythic tier.

It, too, like the Time Master from the original space-time, gathered its own Time's Heart, but it was not as compatible with the secret technique of the Time Scripture, ultimately leaving it lacking.

Even the other little ones, due to the slower rate at which Qiuqiu, their big brother, improved, did not experience as intense competition as in the original space-time, leading to their strengths not reaching higher tiers under various influences.

One wrong step, leading to a series of missteps.

As the Time Master from the original space-time attacked once more, Qiuqiu from this space-time carried a few regrets in its eyes.

The other self from another space-time—could it have truly wounded the Time Master to such a degree?

If it had chosen the Eternal Stone back then, would everything be different?
