The Past and the Future Are Both Changing

Su Ming's mind went blank, and he felt as if he had detached from his shell, his perspective slowly rising.

He seamlessly integrated into the Time River.

Looking up, the upstream river flows steadily and powerfully along its predetermined path, carrying the irresistible power of heaven and earth, inspiring awe.

Looking down, the tributaries gradually converge, countless scenes flicker, and with a wave where he stands, countless futures are overturned and reshaped.

Su Ming was deeply moved.

Watching this magnificent river undergo earth-shattering changes from my perspective, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride.

I am that variable!

"This time, the changes are significant."

Entering the perspective of the Time River again, Su Ming was both excited and aware of the differences in the place he stood on.

First, there's Su Ming from the past, whose fictional history is even longer.

Secondly, the downstream sector, representing the future, shows a trend towards consolidation and unification.

Moreover, Su Ming also discovered that the node he was in downstream was showing some familiar signs.

"Illusory..."

What consequences can Time Paradox lead to?

Su Ming was unaware of this, and he was trying his best to avoid it as well.

However, for the sake of spiritual practice, some paradoxes must be challenged.

"This time, I've done a bit too much, and the changes to the future are enormous. In the future, I'll explore less, be less curious, and only rely on future resources to cultivate and become stronger. Only in this way can I minimize the impact of the paradoxes."

Based solely on his memory of the original work, Su Ming had a basic understanding of that era.

He can choose not to explore or pay special attention to so-called history or so-called glory, thus minimizing the impact of paradoxes he encounters.

The paradox lies in the fact that Su Ming's future experiences no longer feel real.

Therefore, as long as he avoids those histories that might be overturned, he can avoid the effects of many paradoxes. For example, since he already knows the history of Shrek, he doesn't take history classes in the Dou San era and doesn't actively search for the history of Shrek in the past. So even if the history of Shrek under Dou Er Su Ming era changes, he will not be affected.

Of course, they were relatively less affected; living in that era, they were more or less passively receiving a lot of information.

Su Ming's caution is understandable.

Now he sees the effects of the paradox.

Above the node where he will stand in the future, a fictional history will slowly emerge from the water.

"Paradox, paradox. When things change, they begin to separate, just like my past upstream, where I belonged. Because of the changes, an illusory history emerged, and the same is true downstream."

"In this way, my future self is still anchored to that point, only everything my future self experienced becomes an illusion. The memories are not silently altered; it's just that a distinction is made between reality and illusion."

Su Ming calmly analyzed the scene.

He did not let his guard down even if the future brought about the same changes as the past.

The future has become a distinction between reality and illusion.

Is this a good thing?

"The river of the past, though mighty, flowed steadily. Even if the very place where I once stood were to become a mere illusion of history, I need not worry about it being overturned by the river one day. But the future is different..."

If one had to describe it, it would be that the future Su Ming is a lone boat. The changes Su Ming has made to the Douluo Continent now will create waves and alter the future evolution, but none of these can shake the future Su Ming. Only the waves created by paradoxes will gradually pull the anchor of the future Su Ming out of the water.

If the paradox becomes too powerful, the future Su Ming will be overthrown and truly disappear into the River of Time of the future.

"An excessive impact could capsize the ship."

"At the same time, if the anchor is pulled out, its effectiveness in anchoring the future will be affected, making the future more unstable. Perhaps the equally powerful ripples caused by the paradox will have amplified impact on the future?"

This is not good feedback.

Fortunately, Su Ming has now realized this, and he hasn't followed this feedback.

"The river of the future is narrowing, indicating that my anchoring effect is strengthening in the future."

The stronger Su Ming becomes in the future, the stronger the anchoring effect will be. In the present, the paradox caused by Su Ming will weaken his anchoring effect. However, if the weakening is not as great as the strengthening, then it will be a continuous positive feedback.

In conclusion, it can be summed up in one sentence.

"Stay calm, don't get reckless!"

Dou Yi.

As Su Ming enters the perspective of the Time River in the present, Su Ming in the past is also looking downstream.

His focus is not on the future, but on his own past.

"My history has been extended."

In the Time River, the changes that occurred at the point in time where Su Ming was located were the most frequent.

When you first enter this perspective, the Three Main Bodies stand at three nodes.

The second time, he realized that "the past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed," and thus the Dou Yi Node where Su Ming was located in the past became illusory.

When he entered this perspective for the third time, the Illusory History of Dou Yi Node was no longer a single surface, but a "body," extending from a cross-section of a Time River. Everything that Dou Yi Su Ming had superimposed into a history, and at the same time, the "future" that he had not yet experienced also appeared.

It was because of that extension that Dou Yi Su Ming gained the ability to acquire Rank, because his influence was no longer limited to the present, and he also had a illusory fragment of the "future".

This time, his illusory fragment lasted longer.

If the last time we looked back at history, starting from the Dou Yi Node, there was a hundred years of illusory future ahead, then this time Su Ming is seeing a full five hundred years of illusory future!

Five hundred years...

Su Ming looked dazed.

What is the method for extending this fictitious history?

What will happen when this history extends to the Dou Er Node?

Taking advantage of the fact that his perspective had not yet disappeared, he shattered the illusory Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Borrowed Power!

On the Time River, the two Su Ming below looked over at the same time.

Dou Yi Su Ming also stared at the end of his Illusory History.

No change.

He looked at himself in Dou San.

Dou San Su Ming nodded, preparing to cooperate with Dou Yi Su Ming. He had the Light Cluster condense another illusory Thousand-Year Soul Ring for Dou Yi Su Ming.

The Soul Ring shattered once again.

This time, without any stored Soul Power, Dou Yi Su Ming directly Borrowed Power the Soul Power of Dou Er Su Ming and Dou San Su Ming.

He stared intently at the end of this Illusory History.

Change is coming.

That end was extending, extending for about... a year.

Dou Yi.

Gengxin City.

Su Ming took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. He tried to clear his mind as much as possible, not letting the various speculations that were emerging disrupt his thinking.

"One thing needs to be clear: I must prepare for aligning with Dou Er. I need to promote the extension of the fictional history, but I absolutely cannot rush into aligning with it."
