Chapter 1039: Chapter 910: Collapsing Time Line

At this critical moment.

Aiven still harbored a tiny sliver of fantasy in his heart. When he opened his eyes, they didn’t immediately look at the person lying beside him but instead stared intently at the not-so-unfamiliar ceiling above.

Wallpaper adorned with elements like tulips, knots, and swirling patterns, accompanied by a luxurious gilded ceiling.

Without a doubt.

He was now one hundred percent certain that this was Liweina’s bedchamber! And the person lying beside him could only be...

Aiven already felt his mind buzzing.

Just as he was about to turn his head, with a sense of impending doom, to face the grim reality like a true hero,

he was shocked to find that he couldn’t control his body at all. Even the act of just opening his eyes was merely the body’s normal reflex.

With a two-second delay, his gaze slightly shifted.

Finally, he saw someone lying beside him, looking to be in her early twenties, slightly more mature than the titled knight "Rose Crown" Liweina whom he had just glimpsed.

Her Majesty the Queen was resting her head on his chest, boldly revealing her plump and exquisite body.

She extended a slender jade-like finger, drawing circles over and over again on his broad and solid chest, her beautiful lake-green eyes brimming with laughter.

At this moment, the queen’s luxurious golden-red long hair, which was initially coiled atop her head while she slept, was now lazily draped down. Her upper body’s boundless allure looked even more bewitching under the cover of her cloud-like hair.

Someone couldn’t help but scream internally: ’Who the heck can resist this?!’

Then he noticed the Navy Marshal’s uniform torn to shreds on the floor, a white wedding dress carelessly tossed to the side, and the lingering, intense scent of hormones in the bedroom—evidence of only one night’s vigorous endeavors.

It wasn’t hard to guess what had occurred earlier.

Evidently, I... am not right!

While Aiven was racking his brains trying to figure out what had happened to him, "his" body turned to the queen and suddenly said, in a voice deep yet filled with undisguised affection:

"My most beautiful queen, after last night’s antics, do you still have so much energy?

Today we have to convene a new round of battle meetings in the Upper House to decide on the second phase of the offensive plan against the Hilus Empire.

If the ’Overlord Disqualification Plan’ progresses smoothly, it may only take another two or three years to change the occupant of the ’Sea Monarchy’ throne."

Liweina, however, wrapped her arms around Aiven’s waist as if trying to meld her smooth body into his, her smooth legs intimately rubbing against Aiven’s under the thin quilt.

She coquettishly said:

"No, let them wait. Since I succeeded to the throne, those old stubborns have been urging and urging me to get married, non-stop!

You, you little pervert, just a Guardian Knight, yet you had the audacity, just barely an adult, to push down your headmistress and lord. We’ve spent so much time apart, and even finish our tasks lacklusterly.

It’s the perfect time now, while you advance to a titled knight and we have the wedding, to stay off the front lines.

Our most important task right now is to quickly give the Phaletis Kingdom a splendid heir."

The Queen, as she spoke, lifted her head from Aiven’s broad chest and once again placed her sweet, crimson lips upon his.

Click-click...

’I didn’t do it, I’m not, Liweina don’t talk nonsense!’

Could the person capable of such monumental achievements be me? Is it possible that I woke up the wrong way?

However.

Though he hadn’t fully figured things out yet, a phrase involuntarily popped into Aiven’s mind: ’Spring nights are short and the days rise high, henceforth the king will not attend morning court. Indulging in pleasure with no time for leisure, spring follows spring night after night...’

No, wait, it seems like I’m the, um, "indulging in pleasure" one?

Then, Aiven saw Her Majesty the Queen, with her stunningly flushed cheeks, flipping over onto him, her delicate hands holding his face as she softly spoke.

"Alright, alright, I know it was a grievance for you to change your surname to Phaletis. Didn’t I promise you, as long as we have a second child, you’ll inherit the Grand Duchy of the Galliot family?

So, petty man! Quick, take initiative!"

"Weina...."

"Hmm? Naughty Aiven, how many times have I told you, when I’m on top, you have to address me as Your Majesty the Queen!"

Liweina lowered her head, rolling her eyes at her husband, yet with eyes as seductive and enchanting as silk.

Aiven didn’t speak further but responded to her with action.

Squeak...

So this is the real Liweina...

Although Aiven couldn’t control this body at all or intervene in any way, all his senses could be entirely shared.

Through the mind-numbing intoxicating stimulation, and the breathless conversation that followed between the two, the connection between Aiven’s two souls was finally gradually opened, and another indistinct memory gradually fused into him.

"Now it’s actually... my other timeline?!"

After taking a few seconds to swiftly digest these memories and understand what happened, Aiven’s "expression" became extraordinarily splendid.

In this timeline, his life trajectory initially mirrored exactly, until it diverted from "Leon’s Witchcraft Notes."

He didn’t obtain that notebook, nor did he meet Milan, let alone embark on the path of a wizard. Though he also saved Angie, he eventually delivered her to the "Black Iron Cross Church," where she became a Holy Professional.

Later, at sixteen, he became the Guardian Knight of Crown Prince Liwina, reversed the roles with his lord, and leveraged this relationship to be taken as a disciple by the "Rose Sword Saint."

Step by step, his strength and status increased, until he became the youngest Navy Marshal in the history of the Phaletis Kingdom. Not long ago, he took the "Seven Gods Ladder" and was promoted to a pure Titled Knight!

No wonder his senses were much duller than his counterpart on the main timeline; like his sister, he had become a pure Fierce Warrior.

Of course, the biggest change was this:

Though strong and capable of tearing tigers and leopards alive on this timeline, he clearly had a weak stomach in the current favorable situation... As they say, ’A woman thirteen years older offers the world’?

Cough, worthy of me, even if relying on softness, I’m still the best in the world.

The current time is the spring of Sea Origin Calendar year 200, but the world’s progress is far behind Aiven’s main timeline.

Despite the favorable situation for the Tulip Alliance, the Hilus Empire still hadn’t completely collapsed.

However, under this Navy Marshal Aiven’s leadership, Phaletis had started building "Ironclads" methodically, while the Evil God’s conspiracy remained hidden.

As time passed, the process in the Material World gradually advanced, with Aiven’s consciousness from the main timeline coldly observing.

Time advanced to the spring of 202, the same time when Aiven originally entered "Behind the Door."

Due to their wholehearted efforts, the deeply beloved Her Majesty the Queen finally... announced her pregnancy.

But just as the nation was celebrating.

Around Aiven, everything including humans, animals, plants, and buildings began to rapidly collapse and disappear into void, as if hit by Two-Dimensional Foil.

Yet everyone seemed oblivious.

When Aiven’s consciousness reawoke.

Swish!

Just as his eyes opened, a steel knife cruelly pierced his chest.

"Uh..."

As he fell back into darkness, he realized with a stunned expression.

This was another timeline when Grandpa Leo led him to escape from Black Stone Town, and they were caught by Earl Wright’s men and killed with a single slash.

Before even having a chance to awaken the memories of his previous life, he died prematurely on his journey.

Since then.

Aiven experienced thousands upon thousands of lives and timelines, some spanning years, others merely fleeting moments.

But the essence of the Tier 5 "Truth Embodiment" allowed him to perfectly process and integrate these memories without personality dissociation or utter madness.

This situation continued for an unknown period.

The integration of timelines accelerated, and Aiven’s vision became increasingly blurred...

In the end, he saw a girl with radiant silver long hair wearing a pure white wedding dress, looking like a holy angel.

She stood in front of him, earnestly saying word by word:

"I walk alone in the human world, and you, like a god, generously cast light upon me. From then on, my world was illuminated. But what I love is you, not your glowing form.

Please, let me be your angel, just for you, okay? Old...

At that moment, an emotionless mechanical voice suddenly spoke in Aiven’s ear:

"Beep! Time lines have been streamlined, please activate ’Mythical Form’ to initiate the shelter procedure!"

Aiven immediately snapped out from countless lives, understanding that if he activated "Mythical Form" he wouldn’t be able to leave, so he urgently cried out:

"No!"

Boom—!

In a momentary daze, Aiven returned to the deck of the "Sea Soul," but accidentally stepped into thin air.

He was simultaneously supported by Olivia and Liweina, who stood beside him, and they asked with concern:

"Aiven, what’s wrong?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

After stabilizing his footing, Aiven immediately activated the "Eye of Profound Wisdom" to swiftly check his body, but found nothing unusual.

With a sweep of his eyes over his adventure team members, he realized that except for him, no one seemed to have experienced the timeline convergence.

The wizard’s inquisitiveness surged, and he fell into deep thought.

’Is this the power of the "Möbius Ring"? What is the purpose of streamlining my timeline? If I had activated the "Mythical Form" at that time, besides being trapped, what changes would occur due to these timelines?’

In both Aiven’s previous and present lives, there was this theory that as long as people lived in this world, every different choice they made would create different timelines.

That is, parallel universes that don’t interfere with each other.

But now.

He unexpectedly accessed parallel worlds, possessing countless memories and lives of himself. In different parallel universes, he had different identities, experiences, powers, influence, outcomes... and wives.

Thinking of this, Aiven couldn’t help but glance somewhat guiltily at the women surrounding him.

There was no more time for him to indulge in wild thoughts, as Annie, taking the lead as the warrior, suddenly pointed at the one o’clock direction from the "Sea Soul" and exclaimed:

"Look at the mountainside over there, what is that?"
