Liszt didn't rush to wake Ach up for consultation; instead, he quietly reflected alone.

The momentary impact just now had made him feel uncomfortable. He endured it for a while before he slowly calmed his emotions. Discarding the decayed stick in his hand, those eyes surfaced in his mind again: "Such terrifying eyes, more sinister than Bilio's. No, not sinister; they should be described as..." He struggled to find the right words.

Ultimately, he settled on "merciless"—the kind of mercilessness that speaks to the idiom 'If the heavens had feelings, they too would age,' suggesting an order of the universe that no one can escape.

"Whose eyes are these? Could it be the Dragon of the Magic Web?"

When he tore through the Magic Web and peered at its nodes, Liszt had once caught a glimpse of the Dragon of the Magic Web, sleeping in an indescribable space, fearsome and fierce, yet the Magic Web emanated from it. The flourishing civilization of magic during the era of the Moon Empire had perhaps risen because of it.

"If it is indeed the Dragon of the Magic Web and it has awakened, does that mean that at some point in the future, magic will be fully revived... It seems I've been focusing on the wrong details. I should consider the impact of the Magic Dragon's awakening. It seems to be hunting Ach?"

Before Ach left, he said, "It has awakened; this fellow is more annoying than Dulu Miqita," indicating that the Magic Dragon is no ordinary dragon—initially, Ach was pursued over great distances by Dulu Miqita, and only then did he meet Liszt.

"Dare to hunt Ach? Even if you are the Dragon of the Magic Web, I will ride you!"

Liszt clenched his fists.

This glimpse of the future did not put too much pressure on him. When he met "future" Ach, Ach explained the Time Scepter's ability to reflect time, connecting through one of countless possible outcomes—which bears the notion of parallel universes.

Though he did not quite understand it, he was clear that the so-called "future" is only a possibility, not necessarily what will transpire.

The time power represented by the Twilight Dragon seemed more like a prophecy.

If the future were set in stone, then the power of the Twilight Dragon would be a complete paradox; its interaction with the future would inevitably affect reality, and changing reality would alter the future. Just like Liszt seeing the future Ach, and, upon Ach's advice, riding many dragons, which then changed the future.

The new future, compared to the previous one seen, clearly isn't the same future; so at this time, did Liszt truly see the future?

He picked up a gemstone shard from the ground, which had lost its color but vaguely reflected a normal human figure.

"Thus, only the present is real, everything about the future and the past is false... Or rather, nonexistent, for the past has already passed and cannot be touched or changed; the future has not yet arrived, and every change affects countless branches."

While living on Earth, Liszt enjoyed watching sci-fi movies and had studied parallel universes and time travel.

He had quite an understanding of time paradoxes.

Especially after studying a movie "Predestination," which he found very intriguing. Simply put, the main character has a child with himself, then the protagonist, who becomes an agent, fights with his other self who turns into the antagonist. Time is like an ouroboros, a closed loop from beginning to end.

Suddenly.

He envisioned another possibility: "What if the existence of the Twilight Dragon is meant to create an ouroboros loop like in 'Predestination'?"

The future Liszt seen by Ach, the future Ach seen by Liszt, might very well be parts of an ouroboros loop.

However, this terrifying speculation had just arisen when he denied it, "The Twilight Dragon may be able to foresee the future, but the Smoke Dragon can change fate. Both being Sacred Dragons, the Jade Dragon cannot trick the Formless Dragon, so on what basis should the Twilight Dragon be more powerful than the Smoke Dragon?"

Most importantly, this was only a future foreseen by the Time Diamond, but Li Si Te (Liszt) had a life boosted by the possession of the Smoke Dragon.

"The future seen by the Time Scepter is not truly the future."

"But the information revealed may not necessarily be false, the Dragon of the Magic Web will eventually awaken, not staying asleep forever; the Immortal Dragon is located in the Exiled Lands, and I must go to the Exiled Lands if I wish for eternal life; and Ach will become very powerful, casually using the Magic Gate, even the Dragon of the Magic Web will be unable to do anything about him."

"So."

He casually gathered the Time Diamond away, muttering to himself, "Now I am in control of clues about the Smoke Dragon, Jade Dragon, Twilight Dragon, and Immortal Dragon, and I have already ridden the Formless Dragon. Are the Sacred Dragons destined to be captured by me in one fell swoop? Even the Dragon of the Magic Web now has a clue... if that counts as a clue."

No matter what.

Whether this future is prophecy or fate, Li Si Te (Liszt) did not need to be anxious. In both sequences of the future, both he and Ach were doing quite well, free of sickness and disasters, and had grown very powerful.

What he needed to do now was to keep riding dragons, continually riding dragons, until he rode all the Sacred Dragons. Even if the Dragon of the Magic Web was the antagonist boss, so what? He would ride it too—if he even knew how, wondering if such a huge dragon, the Dragon Tooth Platform, would fit its butt.

His decision was made.

He went to the neighboring tent, woke up Ach from her light sleep, and recounted to her in detail the scenes of the future he had seen. They then talked until the middle of the night inside the tent, although they did not manage to deduce much from their discussion; in any case, they came to one conclusion—more dragons needed to be ridden.

"The next dragon will definitely be the Mountain Copper Dragon!"

...

Late into the night.

Li Si Te (Liszt) had another dream, still the same transparent river, a fierce Giant Dragon with indistinct details was battling another with fuzzy details, a Fluorescent Giant Dragon. He did not know where he was, only seeing that the slaughter was nearing its end, the Fluorescent Giant Dragon brutally slain.

Then, with a silent explosion, the Fluorescent Giant Dragon chose to self-destruct, its body transforming into countless beams of fluorescence, cascading towards the pitch-black world.

In that pitch-black world, it seemed countless plants were growing, some nurturing Elf Bugs.

The fluorescence quickly merged into the plants and the Elf Bugs. The next moment, the Elf Bugs began to swell and enlarge, and then a tiny hand tore through the shell, emerging from within the Elf Bug.

Spreading wings, joyously flying.

Suddenly evolving into a Little Minor Elf.

Then, one by one, Little Minor Elves flew up, playing over the transparent river; however, their reflections did not appear on the transparent river.

Instead, as numerous Little Minor Elves gathered, a faint shadow of a dragon faintly arose on the transparent river.

This dragon's shadow, resembling the self-destructed Fluorescent Giant Dragon, suddenly, a crack tore through the pitch-black world, and a bizarre dragon claw tore through the darkness, as if searching for something. But gradually, smoke appeared over the transparent river, concealing the shadow of the Fluorescent Giant Dragon.

The bizarre claw paused momentarily, then slowly retracted back into the darkness.

The smoke over the transparent river dissipated, the Little Minor Elves had long since left, only a group of transparent and numb people, walking dazedly along with the river.
