"You just said the God of Chaos took most of the future fragments?" Lin Xue suddenly looked at the Fairy Queen.
"Yes." The queen nodded. "Why?"
"If the God of Chaos has already gained the ability to glimpse the future, is there any point to what we're doing now?" Lin Xue asked.
"Don't worry about that. The future isn't so easily rewritten. It consists of countless uncertain branches. Even if the God of Chaos gains the ability to observe the future, he can only make very limited changes to minor details, steering the future in a relatively favorable direction. He can't directly obtain a certain future."
The Fairy Queen said, "Besides, what they took back then were raw fragments of the Heart of Time, not ones naturally absorbed by the Divinity system. They were essentially unprocessed 'ore.' Integrating that raw ore into the Divinity system and turning it into authority that can actually be used takes an extremely long time."
"How long is 'an extremely long time'?" Lin Xue pressed.
"At least millions of years."
The queen said, "Otherwise, the will of the Primordial World would never have had time to awaken gradually back then. It would have been swiftly devoured the moment it encountered the Divinity system. It was precisely because integrating each time stone was such a long process that Jie Forest had a chance to take shape."
Lin Xue nodded.
That settled it. It had only been tens of thousands of years since the God of Chaos seized those time fragments. Even if he had worked on integrating them day and night ever since, he could only have integrated a tiny portion by now. Most of the time fragments should still be intact. As long as they defeated the God of Chaos, they could take those fragments
