Back to the Past 2.0
"Hmm... why not go back to the future?"
Li Yan was slightly stunned. He had never thought of this before. If he didn't go back to the future, what would happen to Frieren and Fern in the future?
"Do you have someone you care about, A Yan?"
Flamme gazed tenderly at Li Yan, her jade-like hand gently stroking Li Yan's head, her tone exceptionally soft. "Now that you've returned to this time, do what you want to do. Even if you change the future, it doesn't matter, after all, the future is unpredictable."
"The future... is unpredictable."
Li Yan seemed to have grasped something. He slightly widened his eyes, as if the shackles within his body had been broken. Through a thousand years of time, he saw himself touching the Stone Stele once again.
Can Foresee the Future?
Li Yan found it hard to believe. The Foresee the Future came from the location of the soul, not from the direction of the eyes. The soul had seen everything a thousand years into the future. As long as Li Yan didn't kill important people, the future wouldn't be changed.
For example, Li Yan stared indifferently at Rea, who had already been sealed into a statue. Sealing her here for a thousand years was enough to disrupt the future, but it would not affect the original future.
"A Yan, what... did you see?"
Flamme squinted at Li Yan, a strange premonition rising within her. At this moment, although A Yan was outwardly looking at Rea's breasts, she was actually gazing at something that was beyond her sight.
"As long as we don't cross the red lines of the future, the trajectory of the future won't fluctuate too much, and we can even remedy the situation."
Li Yan shifted his gaze from Rea and began to unleash the Earth-Rending Magic. A massive crack tore open from the ground, and countless black Thorn Vines coiled around Rea's statue. As the statue was lifted by Rea Levitation Magic, it was buried underground. As the crack was completely filled, Flamme seemed to understand something.
Transparent Barrier Magic suddenly appeared on the ground. These were Concealment Barriers that concealed Mana energy, suitable for hiding things and preventing underground creatures from approaching recklessly.
"A Yan, you need to be more careful when hiding things."
Flamme chuckled and patted Li Yan's head. With multiple layers of Concealment Barriers, all that was needed was to rearrange the scene, and the Demons would no longer know about it. Moreover, even if the Demons did know, they wouldn't be able to rescue the sealed Rea and the others.
"A Yan, why don't we investigate that Goddess's Monument again? Maybe it holds a way to travel back to the future."
Flamme spoke with a hint of doubt.
Li Yan shook her head and said, "Godmother, since we're here, let's make the best of it. I'm not in a hurry to go back. Traveling with Godmother has been something I've longed for and dreamed of for a very long time."
"Ugh~ A Yan, you're getting more and more cheesy."
Flamme covered her mouth and laughed, then reached out and patted Li Yan's head.
Walking down the mountain path, a vine suddenly attacked Flamme, who was heading down the mountain. In just a moment, Li Yan's figure flashed, and a spatial blade directly cut the attacking vine into pieces.
"More Monsters. Speaking of which, there seem to be an unusually large number of Monsters around the location of the Goddess's Monument."
Li Yan sighed softly.
"Perhaps it's the aura of Mana; Monsters are always very sensitive to Mana."
Flamme observed Li Yan's battle, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. Every move he made was decisive, making him seem less like a rookie and more like a seasoned general.
After dealing with several Monsters, the journey down the mountain became easier, and no more Monsters dared to attack.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, Li Yan and Flamme stayed together temporarily. Flamme wanted to study new magic, while Li Yan planned to visit some old friends. Flamme expressed his envy of Li Yan's ability to travel freely with Space Magic.
Li Yan invited her to go along, but Flamme shook her head and declined. Compared to convenient Space Magic, she preferred down-to-earth travel, experiencing the customs and cultures of different regions, and feeling the small magic developed by the local residents. Besides, she was currently bursting with inspiration and wanted to study magic properly.
Li Yan didn't insist. On this trip, he wanted to see his future Junior Sister, his future Grandmaster, the Chief Little Rabbit of the Sword Village, and his parents whom he missed the most.
The first target site was the small village in the Elf Forest where his Junior Sister, Frieren, lived. Space Magic was activated instantly, and Li Yan's body appeared thousands of miles away.
Sunlight filters through the lush green leaves, casting dappled patterns on the verdant grass. The Elves live in this Elf Forest, in harmony with nature, leisurely cultivating their crops.
They gathered wild fruits and flowers, played with butterflies, and enjoyed the beauty of nature. Some worked in the woods, some fished by the clear streams, and others shared stories and laughter with their friends.
For Elves, a sight rarely seen even after a thousand years, this place seems like Elf paradise. It must be said that the male Elf Clan are handsome and the female elves are beautiful and charming, their faces without a single blemish, like exquisite works of art.
Among the Elf Clan, Li Yan immediately spotted his junior Junior Sister, Frieren, who stood out. She was squatting under an ancient tree, holding a book in her hands, leisurely enjoying her peaceful life.
Li Yan sat in the air, using the clouds as a chair, quietly watching his lazy Junior Sister. He didn't plan to go down and make contact with her personally. According to the guidance of his Future Sight, if he appeared in front of Frieren, it would cause future troubles.
As evening fell, the setting sun cast its glow upon the village. The Elves sat around the campfire, singing beautiful songs and dancing joyfully.
There was no strife or trouble here, only peace and joy. Frieren watched her people's celebration with a faint smile on her face.
The Elves enjoy the bounty of nature. Their lives are simple yet fulfilling, filled with love for the world and care for one another. In this small village in the Elf Forest, time seems to stand still, and leisure has become the main theme of their lives. Li Yan looked at the dazed Frieren with amusement. Frieren at this stage of her life was so innocent and lovely, without the air of maturity that comes with a thousand years of life. She exuded the youthful energy of a young girl.
After visiting his Junior Sister, Li Yan opened Spatial Gate in the air. He planned to visit his Grandmaster on this trip. Although they had not yet met, experiencing the magic of his Grandmaster from a thousand years ago would be a nice way to relax.
Covering her face, Li Yan pinpointed the location of her Grandmaster's Castle. With the closure of the Spatial Gate, Frieren below seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky. She thought she had just felt Mana fluctuations in the air, but when she looked up, the night sky was filled with only countless stars.
