Chapter 777: Chapter 778: Separation_1

"It’s about time. If we don’t take the opportunity to retrieve it now, who knows what will happen later."

"Where is it?"

Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan with a serious gaze and, after glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan shook his head and said

"I don’t know. I’m not sure where that thing is exactly, but according to her, it should exist, and it’s very likely on Li En’s person."

Gladys, pinching a card, tapped her chin and, looking at Granny Mianlan, said

"I only said Li En is a key person, but I never said that it was on him."

"Take it out."

Lorraine Tower, who had returned at some point, said emotionlessly as he looked directly at Shen Mingxin, who retorted angrily

"Take what out?! What else do you want!"

"The fragment. That thing is in your hands. Hand it over. It’s not something you can possess."

"Heh, I really don’t know what you’re talking about."

Shen Mingxin stepped back, scoffing disdainfully. Milon stood in front of Lorraine Tower, glaring at him as if very angry. Lorraine Tower smiled slightly and gently pushed Milon away. The White Eagle at Milon’s side charged at him fiercely. Although it sensed that it was no match for its opponent, it still fearlessly tried to stop Lorraine Tower.

Watching the White Eagle casually knocked aside by Lorraine Tower, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly

"It’s like we’re the villains or something..."

Xiao Ji, dissatisfied, squawked at Lorraine Tower. Perhaps it was because the other also resembled an eagle, Xiao Ji felt some empathy?

Shen Mingxin gripped her right hand, and metal gears appeared beside her. Agunas said with some astonishment

"Is it actually in her hands?!"

"Give up, that piece doesn’t have the power to take you out of the time turbulence."

Staring at Shen Mingxin, Lorraine Tower made a statement without expression, stepped back a few paces, and Shen Mingxin revealed a bitter smile. Clutching the metal fragment in her hands, she was unwilling to let go even as it pierced her palm. Looking at Lorraine Tower, Shen Mingxin stepped back again and said

"You don’t understand..."

"You don’t realize..."

"Since other methods won’t work, then... at least let me go..."

"Why must you do this."

Looking at Shen Mingxin, Lorraine Tower stated dispassionately. Li Nian, beside him, yelled angrily at Gitalien

"Is this how you treat others?! It’s clearly your fault! What’s wrong with her wish! First, you torment her and now you want to personally erase her last hope!"

"Are you even human!"

"No, that’s a god, a god high above. Our mortal suffering means nothing to it, doesn’t it?! And you! You were always..."

Confronted with Li Nian’s disappointed gaze, Gitalien was taken aback and said somewhat speechlessly

"When have we ever been high above? Besides, even if you really uncover the so-called truth, what then?"

"What are you talking about!"

"Forget it, since she is like this, why hide it? Just tell her the truth directly, right? Otherwise, she might actually burst into the chaos and..."

"Shut up!"

Glaring at Gitalien, Lorraine Tower conjured a silver-white longsword in his hand, adorned with exquisite patterns, and trails of sky-blue liquid energy slowly flowed along the blade’s grooves. Noticing Lorraine Tower pulling out his weapon, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly

"What are they doing? Can’t they simply talk this out?"

With a swing of his longsword, specters of the river of time appeared. Excluding Feng Yuan and Agunas, only Gitalien was able to barely move. Xiao Ji and Little Green Snake, although Divine Beasts, did not have the power to counter Lorraine Tower’s unique move.

The gears behind Shen Mingxin turned with difficulty, as if they might stop at any moment. Lorraine Tower paid no heed to his opponent and directly went straight forward to pry open Shen Mingxin’s hands and take the metal fragment stained with specks of blood.

"Indeed, it’s a fragment of the false World Clock. It seems it didn’t activate successfully?"

Lorraine Tower said, turning to leave and looking at Agunas, he spoke

"Get ready."

"Hey! You shouldn’t do this!"

Gladys freed herself from Lorraine Tower’s restraint and glared at Lorraine Tower with a displeased expression, fiercely questioning her. Lorraine Tower looked at Gladys and said expressionlessly

"Don’t you have something that you need my help with?"

"I don’t necessarily have to ask you for help!"

"When it comes to the river of time, they all need to seek my opinion first."

"Are you threatening me?!"

Lorraine Tower turned away and no longer paid attention to Gladys. She pulled out an ancient dagger and started gesturing at Lorraine Tower. Gladys declared resolutely

"So what if you disagree? Apologize to her now!"

Turning her head to look at Gladys, Lorraine Tower said with an indescribable expression

"Do you think what you know is everything?"

"Get ready."

Lorraine Tower looked at Agunas; hesitating for a moment, Agunas flipped through the book in his hands, muttering something. Agunas was better at calming temporal chaos than Lorraine Tower. As Agunas began to act, everything around them started to transform. Even without anyone explicitly stating it, everyone could sense that two accidentally intersecting timelines were slowly pulling apart.

By this time, Lorraine Tower’s suppression had vanished. Shen Mingxin looked at Lorraine Tower’s retreating figure with a wry smile, hope taken away by the other party. She had no chance to retrieve that thing. Glancing at the mist behind her, Shen Mingxin suddenly made up her mind.

"Hey! Don’t be reckless!"

A Spatial Barrier blocked the running Shen Mingxin, who bounced back as if she had hit a cushion. Granny Mianlan and the others hurriedly rushed over to comfort her. Li Gui charged towards Lorraine Tower, seemingly wanting to take her down, but before Lorraine Tower seemed to do anything, he fell into a perpetual time loop. Watching Li Gui continuously charge at Lorraine Tower and return to his original place, Li Nian pulled out his device and threw it towards Lorraine Tower.

"Can’t you guys calm down..."

Gitalien, slightly exasperated, set up a Spatial Barrier. He was genuinely worried about Li Nian provoking Lorraine Tower, after all, the pile of devices she threw out had many that could affect the river of time. Watching the flickering figures of Shen Mingxin and Milon, Granny Mianlan stood up and angrily said to Lorraine Tower

"What on earth are you trying to do? Don’t you realize how much this will hurt her?!"

Glancing at Granny Mianlan, Lorraine Tower said nothing. She knew that Granny Mianlan had a good relationship with Drudgeon, but that was it. Not to mention that she wasn’t afraid of Drudgeon, he would not likely take a stand for her over such an issue.

"What do you want to do!"

Agunas stared at Li Nian with an unfriendly gaze. Could it be that the strange bomb in Li Nian’s hand was actually meant to be thrown at him? Agunas wasn’t a Divine Beast known for patience. With a swipe, he knocked the bomb back, and Gitalien, who had set up a Spatial Barrier just in time, gained a new understanding of Li Nian’s death-defying abilities.

Was Li Nian really so unafraid to provoke Agunas, that he wouldn’t care if Agunas sought direct retaliation from Feng Yuan? Even with the Ancient Book in hand, Agunas was a force that not even Gitalien and Lorraine Tower combined could necessarily suppress, yet Li Nian dared to provoke him.

"What exactly is happening? I’m still totally in the dark here, could you at least explain it to me?"

Feng Yuan asked, exasperated. He was sure Lorraine Tower and the others had discovered something. Glancing at Shen Mingxin behind him, Gitalien sighed and said

"It’s almost time. We can talk about this later."

"Let’s clear it up right here! It concerns Grandmother; do you still want to hide it?! Do you believe I won’t tell the others?"

"And then?"

Gitalien looked at Li Nian with a speechless response. He didn’t understand at all what Li Nian hoped to achieve by telling others. What use would that be?

"I’m begging you, please don’t separate us just yet..."

At this moment, seeing Shen Mingxin’s figure becoming gradually transparent, Li Nian pleaded. Feng Yuan naturally noticed something was wrong and said to Agunas

"Stop for now, just smooth out the temporal chaos. I’m worried something bad might happen..."

"After separation, memories will fade."

Agunas stated calmly. Feng Yuan pulled out a pitch-black Ancient Book, slapped it, and interrupted Agunas’s actions, saying

"But that doesn’t mean the subconscious won’t be affected."

Lorraine Tower sighed and looked at Shen Mingxin, who was heartbroken, and said

"You might as well show yourself..."
