494: All things compete freely under the frosty sky.

The past moments were being frozen, being buried.

Like an animated scene passing by, everyone could see the path they had taken.

During this process,

all sorts of people appeared, and then some unwillingly departed.

In short—the past could no longer be changed.

The Cang Master seemed to possess a special ability.

The beast hide in Their hand, whether it was a Magic Treasure, a Divine Artifact, or something else, was unknown.

This ability to freeze the past was truly terrifying.

Of course, the biggest implication was this:

The past was fixed.

Those existences hiding in the past would have nowhere to hide.

Yes, it was like a giant hand smoothing out the past, dragging out all the hidden ones.

And the moment They came out, They had to face the Dragon Venerable!

"Ah?!"

"This—"

"I, I don't want to die..."

Facing the Dragon Venerable made hearts tremble.

But strangely, the Dragon Venerable did not immediately start a massacre.

They looked at the crowd and said softly:

"I know you pursue Great Freedom."

"But this conflicts with My Dao, and I am not an overly tyrannical person."

"How about this: return to the main timeline, and I will give you this chance."

Suddenly,

there was collective silence.

Those existences were actually silent.

This was a choice.

Either die, or return to the main timeline.

Did They even need to choose?

Yet, They were silent—Ye Su was initially confused, but quickly understood.

The main timeline is a controlled timeline.

Each of Them cultivated divine rules related to time and space; having left the timeline, it was equivalent to jumping outside the Three Realms and no longer being constrained by the Five Elements.

Now, asking Them to return to the main timeline,

wouldn't that force Them back into the Three Realms and within the Five Elements?

"Go back... can The Cosmos still accommodate us?"

Someone murmured.

The maximum capacity of The Cosmos is only the Venerable Master.

Above the Venerable Master, one gains the ability to jump out of The Cosmos.

This move by the Dragon Venerable would undoubtedly force Them down into the Venerable Master Realm.

This was incredibly difficult to accept.

"No need to worry, The Cosmos will be upgraded."

The Dragon Venerable said.

Yes.

Everything being done was for this purpose.

Smoothing out the timeline and upgrading The Cosmos.

Ending the chaotic process caused by countless powerful experts messing around in the timelines.

Boom—suddenly.

Someone erupted.

"Controlled by the main timeline, where would we have a future? Dragon Venerable, don't push your luck too far!"

He roared.

And then tried to rush into the future.

"Hmph..."

The Dragon Venerable sneered.

A sweep of the Dragon Claw.

Owoo!

Everything became calm, only a certain whispering sound of predation and devouring arose.

Ye Su's scalp tingled.

He regretted it.

He hadn't clearly seen how the attack was launched.

But.

That existence, equivalent to a Time-Space Masters, was truly and thoroughly wiped out.

What kind of ability was this?

Standing based on the world and timeline They occupy, are They truly invincible?

'Damn, is this based on cultivation or mechanism? How perverse is this?'

Ye Su couldn't help but exclaim internally.

The Dragon Venerable, this wondrous existence.

They stretched across the Void Realm, embodying only two words:

Invincible!

The disappearance of this Time-Space Masters made those other existences tremble all over.

Reputations precede them.

The Three Giants are The Three Giants.

The Chaos Tyrant is the Chaos Tyrant.

They had heard early on that The Three Giants were incredibly terrifying.

Now, seeing it firsthand was better than hearing about it a hundred times.

Truly terrifying!

Well, then there was practically no choice left.

"We are willing."

Ultimately, these immortal and indestructible existences entered the main timeline.

And under the augmentation of a certain ability of the Dragon Venerable, the main timeline had a Great Bond linking Them to it.

At this moment,

Their faces were ashen.

If The Cosmos could truly be upgraded, then They still had the possibility of advancing.

But if The Cosmos remained as it was,

then this Cosmos, this main timeline, would be an eternal cage.

But not entering meant death.

These people looked at each other and eventually came to a consensus.

If everyone attacked together, they would simply die together.

They couldn't turn the tables.

No choice!

The Cang Master continued.

Various past timelines—forked, parallel, and reversed—were aggregated together, becoming a truly fixed reality.

Finally,

it connected to the main timeline.

Henceforth,

the main timeline was traceable—powerful experts only needed to look into the past to see all the information they desired.

With the past cleaned up, the secrets of the world would be very, very few.

The Cang Master moved Their finger slightly, frowned, and said;

"I should still hold back a little."

It turned out that the Cang Master wanted to conceal some information about the past.

Otherwise, this complete transparency would somewhat deprive people of privacy, or rather, anyone's past could be investigated.

As long as you looked far enough.

Whether it was the Cang Master, the Sword Master, or the Dragon Venerable, Their pasts would be traceable.

"If the future can also be converged, I will conceal some things; if not—"

The Cang Master said.

Their meaning was clear.

This smoothing and fixing of the timeline was not something They could decide alone.

If the future could not be converged, then converging the past was meaningless.

In that case—They would be like pulling out the bottom block of a Jenga tower.

Directly messing everything up.

Thus,

attention focused on Ye Su.

"Me?"

Ye Su pointed to himself.

"Of course. Haven't you noticed that all your abilities are related to the future?"

The Cang Master said;

"How the future is converged depends only on you."

Ye Su looked at the countless threads extending from beneath his clothes.

Each thread was a link between the present and the future.

Countless futures meant countless threads.

These were left behind by his future self.

Convergence...

How should it be converged?

"Does this mean the future is immutable?"

Ye Su said;

"Or are we ultimately headed toward a predetermined ending, fated from the moment a life is born?"

"One can accept fate, but not destiny!"

"We cannot change how we were born, but the future must be full of variables."

"Who is to say that a wandering beggar cannot become the co-ruler of the world?"

"Therefore, how the future should be is up to you to decide."

The Dragon Venerable said;

"It seems you now possess this ability."

Ye Su pondered for a moment.

So that was it.

The Cang Master bore the fixing of the past.

And he would bear the future.

The important thing was:

Ye Su himself could decide what form the future would take.

"Why don't we do this..."

Ye Su took a deep breath and said;

"The future doesn't necessarily have to be a single line."

"But rather—"

The fine threads began to converge, their scale and mass increasing.

Starting from the present, which was the main timeline, they linked up.

Until the very end.

The threads gathered, forming a long river.

This long river could contain countless endings.

However,

all those countless endings would still be encompassed within this long river.

Ye Su.

Ultimately chose not to become the Master of the Future.

He did not predetermine the future of every existence.

Instead, he returned the future to every life!

Thus.

All Creatures Compete for Freedom in the Frosty Sky!
