[Dou San]
As the Time River surged, countless waves rolled onward, and the future downstream shifted.
Above the river, a node that had gradually become illusory and separated from the downstream waters finally broke away from the river entirely. Mirroring the Illusory History upstream, it used the river as its foundation while existing independently of it.
"Phew."
Su Ming let out a long breath.
There was a trace of relief in his eyes.
An Illusory History had appeared in the past. By comparison, the future certainly could not keep circling within the river forever.
That was the logic, but Su Ming could not act rashly.
The ignorant feared nothing. When the Illusory History of the past had appeared, even he had not expected it. He had no idea how it had been achieved or what method had made it possible.
Moreover, while the upstream was stable, the downstream was not.
If a change in the Dou San node caused a wave in the river to wash away him, this variable, then he would truly have nowhere to argue his case.
Therefore, Su Ming had always remained cautious toward changes in the future.
Of course, caution did not mean standing still.
He had also been steadily pushing everything forward.
The fundamental reason the future can break away from the river is that even the Time River's own deductions can no longer correct it.
For example.
Su Ming had transmigrated here and inherently knew that one plus one equaled two. If he did not learn that one plus one equaled two at the Dou San node, then even if his Dou Er self changed that foundation, causing every record in Dou San-era mathematics textbooks to change from one plus one equals two to one plus one equals three, the Time River could
