Du Yu spun endlessly within the spacetime vortex, with no idea where he was.
Before long, Du Yu opened his eyes and found himself standing in a forest. You Si was wandering nearby, so he hurried over to her.
You Si walked aimlessly onward like this for three straight days.
And Du Yu quietly followed her for those three days.
After all, he had no other path available to him now except to follow You Si.
The scenery around them remained nothing but trees and plants, without even a decent trail.
Du Yu did not feel tired, but he was growing bored.
If You Si intended to keep walking like this, how many years would I have to follow her?
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, a village appeared before them.
The village looked small, its buildings all made of mud and dried grass. The people wore animal skins, suggesting an age long past.
At last, a trace of delight appeared on You Si's face, and she strode toward the village.
Du Yu quickened his pace and followed behind her.
A burly man was tanning leather at the village entrance. When he looked up, he saw the black-clad girl before him.
"Hm?" The man looked puzzled. "What clan are you from? Looking for someone?"
You Si nodded, then reached out and seized the man by the throat. "You. Become 'Time' for me."
The man was startled, but quickly recovered his senses. "'Time'? What is that? Have you gone mad, girl?"
You Si gradually tightened her grip. "I ask only whether you agree."
The man struggled angrily. "Let go! Of course I don't agree!"
You Si sneered and twisted her wrist. The man's neck snapped, and his body slowly crumpled to the ground.
The sight terrified the other villagers.
