Just as mentioned before.
For Su Ping, this journey was a special trip in which time had lost its meaning, but in essence, it had still consumed time.
After all, he had witnessed and personally encountered so many things, and had truly seen with his own eyes that heart-stopping assassination attempt, recorded in history with only a few cursory strokes.
These things took only a couple of lines to write, but for someone, they had already embodied the value and meaning of an entire life, and ultimately set down his full stop within the never-ending scroll called history.
Time, the years, the passing days-these were such terrifying things, yet also things against which one was utterly helpless.
But everything Su Ping had just experienced had taken only an instant for Ye Zhou before him, less than a second.
One second earlier, Su Ping had completed the fusion of their souls and consciousnesses, activating Time Flies Like an Arrow together with Xiaoshi. Less than a second later, Su Ping opened his eyes again, but a distinct trace of hurt and helplessness had appeared in them.
That change made Ye Zhou, who had been staring intently at Su Ping, realize that Su Ping had succeeded. This unprecedented journey through time, a special form of time travel never recorded in history, had been accomplished right here in Su Ping's little laboratory.
He could not wait to look at Su Ping and ask:
"How was it? How did the time travel work out? What did you see? Did you find a way to break through that influence, a way to let Xiaoshi affect the people within the corresponding stretch of history?"
His questions came one after another. Clearly, that single second had seemingly been extremely hard for him to endure as well.
