This made no sense.
After all, if the present was the future's past, then Di Yi in the present would absolutely be the most dazzling beacon. Unless someone was blind, there was no way they could fail to see him while walking through the long river of years and time.
Yet every indication suggested that the beings of the future knew nothing of him, as though he was not the protagonist of this stretch of history-not even a supporting character or a passerby, with not a single trace recorded.

Could something happen to me in the future?
He thought it possible, because the black blood was not something without roots. Quite a few things were connected to it, such as the eerie dark light on the Black Paper Boat, or the polluting "malice" in the Netherworld.
