Chapter 634

~4 min read 619 words

Time needs a closed loop!

Hawk listened to the Ancient One's sentence, was stunned at first, then reacted and understood the meaning of the Ancient One's sentence.

Yes.

Time needs a closed loop.

Hawk's thoughts turned, and he looked at the Sorcerer Supreme: "Master, is there anything else?"

The Ancient One held the teacup and looked at Hawk with a smile.

"The past cannot be changed."

"... Understood."

Hearing this, Hawk nodded, then looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, and after confirming that the latter had nothing else to explain, he followed Kamar-Taj's librarian Wong and walked outside.

Soon.

With the departure of librarian Wong and Hawk, in the large, antique reception room, only Gwen, who was silently drinking tea, and the Ancient One, who had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts after Hawk left, remained, smiling but not speaking.

Gwen drank tea.

The Ancient One poured tea.

The air was quiet.

Another three cups of tea later.

Gwen looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, who was silently adding tea for her again, took a deep breath, and looked up at the Ancient One, who always had a smile on her face.

"Does the Master know what I want to ask?"

"Yes."

The Ancient One put the fairness cup aside and looked at Gwen with a smile.

Gwen met the Ancient One's eyes and blinked.

"Then the answer..."

"You haven't asked me yet."

"But you already know what I want to ask."

"But you haven't asked me yet."

The Ancient One sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, her hands naturally crossed, looking at Gwen, who seemed a bit confused, with a smile, and then her right hand swiped.

In an instant.

A brilliant river of time appeared above the tea table.

Gwen subconsciously looked up at the extremely brilliant river of time before her.

"I know what you want to ask."

"I also have the answer you want."

"But you didn't ask, so I have no way to tell you."

"Because if you didn't ask and I told you, then, on the river of time, the time you ask would disappear."

"And the disappearance of time will trigger a chain reaction, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake."

The Ancient One explained like this, then pointed her finger at the river of time floating on the tea table.

Instantly.

The moment the Ancient One's finger touched the river of time, the river rippled; the ripples spread quickly, some disappeared quickly, and some ripples resonated with the river of time after being shaken out, and then one tributary after another appeared.

But among these appearing tributaries, the starting point of the tributary is unchanged, and the end point of the tributary is also unchanged.

Only the present, where the past and future intersect, has a fork in the road.

Gwen looked at the Ancient One's demonstration and remembered a sentence the Ancient One said when Hawk left here just now.

"The past cannot be changed."

"But..."

Gwen frowned: "The past cannot be changed, I can understand, but the future is determined by the present, isn't it? Why is the future demonstrated by the Master the same future?"

The Ancient One had a smile on her face.

"Why do you want to change the future?"

"Uh..."

"Only when you see the future will you think about changing it."

"The moment you see the future, the future you see becomes your past."

"So..."

"The past cannot be changed, because the future you see is no longer the future, but your past."

"..."

Gwen listened to the Ancient One's explanation, her expression thoughtful.

"Saw the future, the future became the past, the past cannot be changed."
