The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 888 - 394: The River of Time and Space

Seeing Tai Bai draw her sword, Lin Yun couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The iconic line "Thy wife, I shall nurture" has been uttered, he might truly be parting with her forever.

However, Tai Bai was swinging the sword very slowly. The mysterious ancient sword looked nimble, but Tai Bai seemed to be exerting a lot of effort to swing it, and Lin Yun could even see the sweat forming on her forehead.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, Lin Yun’s instinct was to run away, but to his alarm, he realized he couldn’t move at all, and could only watch helplessly as Tai Bai’s sword thrust towards him.

"This sword will sever your connection to the future, you will remain forever in the present and the past, becoming history without a future."

Before the sword struck Lin Yun, Tai Bai slowly uttered these words.

It was at this moment Lin Yun understood the terrifying nature of the sword in Tai Bai’s hands.

This was beyond any divine artifact. It was somewhat like a weapon of causality.

One could not dodge when it was wielded, and after it hit, it cut off time, naturally leaving no defence.

The next second, the sword finally landed on Lin Yun. Lin Yun did not feel pain but saw the shock in Tai Bai’s eyes.

Huh?

What unexpected event had occurred?

Confusion swirled within Lin Yun, as he could not make any movements, but in his senses, everything was reversing.

The sword-wielding Tai Bai was reversing, her golden armor dissolving, revealing her bare form again...

Is this... rewinding?

What does it feel like to have the real world rewind before your eyes?

Lin Yun was finally experiencing this, the disorienting sensation of time flowing backward, causing him a bit of panic.

The speed of the rewind was increasing, from the initial double time to eightfold, sixteenfold, thirty-two, sixty-four...

Lin Yun only saw everything before his eyes getting faster and faster, initially still able to see some blurry figures, but now only black and white light interweaving remained.

Amidst this temporal rewind, Lin Yun found his body gradually fading into nothingness, with only the small sun inside him still existing.

"What is this..."

The Earth Scripture voiced its last query before turning into ash, not a single trace left, startling Lin Yun as he gazed towards Xiao Qing who was out of sorts.

Clearly, the Earth Scripture was erased by time. Lin Yun quickly said: "Xiao Qing, get inside my small sun."

Xiao Qing nodded and dived into Lin Yun’s small sun, while Lin Yun controlled the small sun with his thoughts, not to harm Xiao Qing.

Time was still reversing, and gradually Lin Yun felt as if his body was being erased too, as though he could no longer see himself, only a longsword.

It was as if he were playing a first-person game; he was gone, only the sword remained.

This sword, Lin Yun found it somewhat familiar; the scene, Lin Yun likewise found familiar.

The black and white lights before his eyes were like a long river, with the sword leading him back through time.

Lin Yun had experienced this scene once before.

But this time, the experience was richer because, at some point, the fast-forwarding time suddenly paused for an instant, and Lin Yun saw the Land of Death, as well as himself.

Following that, the mysterious ancient sword pricked himself, continuing its journey forward.

Goodness, had I, during my dream of the mythic era, also carried my future self on this sequence of events?

The plot after, Lin Yun already knew. During Dongfang Yao’s seclusion, the mysterious ancient sword pricked Dongfang Yao as well, leaving a drop of blood inside his body and then continued its course.

Lin Yun didn’t know where the sword intended to take him this time; he would just let nature take its course, since he couldn’t resist anyway.

Lin Yun thought back to what Tai Bai said; he no longer had a future, only the past and the present, and that "present" moment had also become history when the sword made its thrust.

Indeed, the Path of Time is mysterious.

Lin Yun had his suspicions. Perhaps the sword was meant to send him to an even more ancient era, then he would live on from that ancient era, and like history, lose all his memories at some year, leaving only his body Lin Yun, and then one day descend to the Mortal Realm to repeat the process of being sent back to ancient times by Tai Bai.

Everything is a perfect cycle; he has not died, yet he has lost his future.

If his conjecture is true, then everything can be explained.

It was him who fell in love with Qing Nu, and it was also him who fell in love with Zhen Li; he was the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit from the very beginning, oh, wait, I also have Xiao Qing...

Lin Yun could still feel his little sun, Xiao Qing was inside it.

Is it possible that this time, I traveled through time together with Xiao Qing?

Lin Yun was dumbfounded; a certain possibility crossed his mind.

The Mysterious Ancient Sword was still taking him upstream along the river of time, and Lin Yun suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Did I just mention Xiao Qing? Who is Xiao Qing?"

"No, that’s not right, I’m losing my memories..."

Lin Yun suddenly came to his senses, but, more and more memories were fading from his mind.

The river of time, after cleansing his body, finally began to attack his memories.

It was at this moment that Lin Yun understood, it wasn’t that he had lost the memories of the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, but that the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit had lost his memories!

"No, if I lose my memory, I may really fall into an eternal cycle of time, I must remember!"

Lin Yun guarded his mind tightly, trying to protect his memories.

Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yu, Fang Yu, Snow Maiden, Zhen Li, Bai Jiaojiao, Flower Fairy...

Lin Yun seemed to see his spirit turning into a ball of light, guarding most of his memories in his mind, but the river of time kept eroding them.

Again, he lost some memories, he saw scenes slowly fading from his mind.

Lu Lihua?

A pretty cute girl.

Gao Qing?

Rather bustful.

Bai Jie...

Lin Yun watched as one scene after another disappeared, those were the outermost memories, not worth preserving, lost is lost.

But slowly, he saw Yellow Wind Valley, on the night of the beast attack, to survive, he kissed Hongling, Hongling, she was also a rather cute girl.

Even though she continued to watch him afterward, there was clearly a well-hidden affection in her eyes.

"So, she liked me too, and I didn’t even notice it."

Lin Yun realized once again the fact that he had left emotions with many; however, too many women were popping up in his mind...

One could only say that he had quite a way with women in this lifetime!

Lin Yun concentrated and calmed his spirit; he didn’t want to lose any of his memories, nor did he want to forget anyone.

Even if it was just a passerby. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But in the face of the Path of Time, his resistance seemed somewhat powerless.

Even though he felt his Divine Soul growing stronger in the process of combating time, the spirit he wanted to protect continued to wear away.

When will this finally end!

Lin Yun looked towards the temporal river, which still stretched far into the distance without an end in sight.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly emerged in Lin Yun’s mind.

"Daoist Fuyun, this is Wan Qiu."
