Could this vast river be the source of heaven and earth?

Qin Chen looked up, and from that river, he felt a rich aura of the power of time. In front of this river, Qin Chen felt incredibly small, like a grain of sand in the ocean, as if all the wonderful moments in life were mere dust, completely insignificant.

Moreover, on this river, Qin Chen sensed an endless power of time. Because he possessed the source of time, he was particularly sensitive to the power of time.

But how could the source of heaven and earth emit such a rich power of time?

“This is not the source of heaven and earth; this is... the River of Time.”

The big black cat appeared beside Qin Chen, its eyes filled with shock as it stared intently at the river before them. This river, unknown where it came from, spanned the sky, giving a feeling of vastness and insignificance.

“River of Time?

What is that?”

Qin Chen was taken aback.

“The River of Time is the most mysterious river in the world. Any time node in the countless dimensions of the universe can be found within it. This means that here, you can find your past and even trace back to scenes from billions of years ago.”

“So abnormal?”

Qin Chen gasped, seeing scenes from billions of years ago? That was too abnormal!

“That's not all.”

The big black cat said solemnly, “In this River of Time, not only can you see the past, but you can even see the future. If the source of time you possess represents the rules of time, then the River of Time represents all the time in the world. No one knows where this river comes from or where it goes, but it is one of the most mysterious places in the world.”

“In this river, you can even change the past. It is said that in the heavenly realm, a powerful being who knew of their impending doom would trace back along the River of Time to erase those who might kill them in the future, thereby changing their fate.”

Damn, damn, damn.

Qin Chen's eyes widened, completely dumbfounded.

“Is that possible?”

“Are you saying that entering this River of Time allows one to change their future?”

Qin Chen gasped, “If that’s true, then is the future still the future?

And if it could really be done, wouldn’t that mean someone could live forever?”

The big black cat smirked, “Heh, do you think changing the future is that easy?

First of all, entering the River of Time itself is not an easy task. The River of Time is incredibly magical; a physical body cannot enter it, only the soul can.”

“Secondly, not everyone can enter the River of Time. Only those whose souls possess the aura of the rules of time may enter it, and to find and change one’s own history and past in the River of Time, it would likely only be achievable by the most powerful beings in the heavenly realm.”

“Moreover, defying fate is extremely difficult. Even if you can change history, how can you be sure that the changes would lead to a better future rather than a worse one?

Time is ruthless; anyone who tries to toy with time will be toyed with by time. Therefore, theoretically it is so, but in reality, I have never personally seen any powerful being change history.”

“Instead, there are some powerful beings who enter the River of Time to comprehend the power of time and cultivate.”

Although the big black cat's words were profound, Qin Chen understood.

History is not so easily changed; any alteration of history will trigger uncontrollable consequences.

For example, if a powerful being saw that they might fall to another powerful being in the River of Time, they could trace back and erase that potential killer from the River of Time. However, this does not mean the other party would be safe and sound.

They changed the future, and naturally, the future would shift accordingly. It is very possible that another genius might rise up, and perhaps they might fall a thousand years later, but due to their change in history, they could be killed prematurely—this is not impossible.

Nonetheless, Qin Chen was still deeply shocked by the River of Time before him.
