No matter how much Kiran explained, Lunixia's hatred for Acacia would not be diminished by a star.

After all, Kieran was one of the elders of the Council of Acacia, and it was natural that he would have declared war on Shurima if he could live in a tower of this size.

And that's exactly what happened.

If it weren't for Acacia, Shurima wouldn't have fallen from the top to the bottom.

Even if the last emperor, Azir, expanded his territory, vigorously developed the people's livelihood, and fought against the decaying old aristocracy, once again pushing Shurima to a post-peak period, it would not be a tenth of the peak period when the Ascension Regiment was still alive.

The probability of ascension was already low, and the thousands of fallen Celestial warriors could not be resurrected, and the grand ambition to conquer the world was delayed for five hundred years, and finally fell in an incident of slave betrayal.

Looking back on the past and present, except for the betrayer who hated the betrayer who stole the power of the Ascension and had long been sealed, and looking back at the thousands of years of Shurima, the vast majority of the Ascended people believed that Shurima fell quickly with the Void War as the node.

As a timekeeper, Kieran has traveled through the timelines of the past and present and parallel universes, and naturally understands this, and also knows the hatred in the hearts of the Ascended Beings who are contemptuously called "Darkborn" and sealed by the Star Spirit and the humans.

Kieran had already seen it and completely let go of the hatred of his family and country.

He only wants to save his own people, save his homeland from being destroyed, and avoid the future of Runeterra being destroyed.

But the Darkspawn is different.

Runicia was still cursing, but Josh stopped paying attention to her, and Kieran couldn't hear her, and after venting for a while, Runitia simply stopped talking.

Kieran takes Josh back and forth through towers that are not as complex as the Tower of Light, eventually arriving at a room that is unusually poorly furnished.

Suspended here are many golden discs of various sizes covered in emerald green, like the delicate dials and wheels of a clockwork, which contain the mysterious power of time.

"Time, an eternal constant from which nothing in the world can escape."

Kiran pinched his fingers, and the disc of emerald light behind him made a great effort, urging the pinion in the room to rotate the big gear, making a clicking metal grinding sound.

"At first, I thought that the linear passage of time was just an illusion, but when I was really trapped in the gap between time and studied the mysteries of time for decades, I realized that it was just a prism, with countless choices, and any simple choice would lead to a completely different time and space."

Kiran said as he continued to cast spells in his hands, and the environment of the originally humble cottage quickly changed.

The walls and floors vanished, and in their place Josh found Kieran Tower, shuttling through the chaotic and dark space where the year could not be remembered.

Before the immensity of time, even Lunicia was attracted to it, feeling the insignificance of a grain of sand facing the vast ocean.

For a moment, Kieran's hair and the clothes of the two of them fluttered in the wind, and they seemed to lose gravity and levitated.

The largest disc behind him suddenly split into rings, and the emerald green on the surface was dazzling, and it spun at an accelerated pace, showing a hollow appearance like a planet.

Then, Kiran's left and right hands came out of thin air, and the fingertips took on a blue and white time disc, and the hands on them moved at great speed.

At the same time, the central area of the small discs of various sizes suddenly transforms into another scene that looks like a holographic display, projecting different images.

"I've been watching you, Josh Russell." Kieran's voice was mixed with something indescribably ethereal, as if it had staggered a plane with Josh.

His eyes that were completely dominated by emerald color turned to Josh, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the chakra of time, and a golden disc quickly floated in front of Josh, projecting everything that had happened on Fuguang Island in the past six months.

"From the moment you came into contact with the Darkspawn, the entire timeline of our world has shifted in some way unpredictably.

"I was surprised, so I focused on what was going on with you, and I was blown away by the facts."

As Kieran spoke, the picture he showed Josh suddenly changed to the appearance of other worlds, passing quickly like a slide, but the content and information displayed could be instantly reflected in his mind.

"Not every timeline has Josh Russell, and if you do, most of the time, you'll die while you're still in the Noxie tribe.

"A few times, your master Tyrus does adopt you, but for various reasons, you will return to the spiritual realm before or not long after you arrive on Fuguang Island."

Among them, Josh saw the tragic situation of "himself" various deaths.

This includes, but is not limited to, when he was in the Nokshi tribe, because his parents died and had no one to take care of him, he was starved to death;

Infected with a terrible disease, he was expelled by his tribesmen and eventually died at the mouth of the beast;

He was brought back to the Luminary by Tyrus, but on the way back, he contracted septicaemia and his organs failed rapidly......

Even if you return to Helia normally, you will either be consumed by arcane energy and turned into a charred corpse while secretly practicing magic.

Either they will anger the elders of the Shining Light Tower due to the unchangeable nature of the "barbarians", be expelled from the island, become pirates, and die in the counterattack of other merchant ships.

The only time it was more similar to Josh's current situation was when he came into contact with the Dance of Death, which instantly devoured flesh and soul, becoming a vessel for the Darkspawn to awaken.

Subsequently, Lunithia and her team awakened most of the Darkspawn except Tarosh and Fuguang Island, starting the Second Darkspawn War in advance......

Any small choice is different, such as whether or not to eat early in the morning, what food to choose, and how much to eat, will lead to a completely different series of fates in the future.

Not only Josh was surprised, but Lunicia couldn't help but speak: [Strange, why is it only your luck that is so good? 】

Without waiting for Josh to answer, Kieran took the initiative to explain: "It took me several years to study more than 10 million ways of your destiny, and finally came to a conclusion. ”

The light in Kieran's eyes jumped, as if he saw something, but instead of actively provocatively provocative, he put it another way: "You seem to be beyond the timeline, existing in the past, present, and future." ”

"Huh? This ......," Josh was dumbfounded, "how is this possible?!" ”

Kieran is a guardian who is beyond the timeline, but his approach is to erase himself from the river of time and no longer affect the realm of reality, in exchange for the opportunity to observe the timeline.

[This old man won't have a brain, right? Lunithia was also puzzled, "How can you be independent of the timeline?" 】

Kieran saw Josh's confusion and didn't give him a chance to ask, explaining, "You feel like you haven't learned time magic, and only the world runes of the Enlightenment system can bend the rules, and you can't erase your own time at all, right?" ”

Josh frowned and nodded.

"You have not erased from the timeline, but the fact that you are transcendent from time is true, time and cause and effect are obscure and philosophical, and I have studied it all my life, and it is nothing more than a superficial understanding.

"I don't know exactly how I created this anomaly, but it's normal that you can do miracles like I do...... I think it has to do with who you are. ”

Kiran didn't say it too clearly, or rather, even he didn't know the mystery inside.

He just waved his hand away from the golden disc projected a parallel timeline, walked up to Josh, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a glowing straight line representing time.

"If we live in time in a straight line......"

Then, a little more, the straight line suddenly split out of some anomaly and a myriad of jumbled lines, all of which then extended parallel to each other, and the color was lighter, distinguishing it from the parallel lines of the main time.

"Then such a chaotic straight line represents a parallel world that is intertwined with us but has nothing to do with it."

Kieran pulls out the main timeline with a strong pull, his fingers circled, and a new, spiral curve around the main line stretches forward.

"And you, Josh Russell, your presence has divided our original reality into a new and distinct branch of time, or rather, this is our current branch of the Overworld.

"It is closely intertwined with the original Overworld line, but it is covered by the shadow of time, and it is impossible to observe the future."

"Can't observe? Doesn't that mean ......"

Josh probably figured something out, and his thoughts coincided with Kieran's.

"That's right!" A smile finally appeared on Kieran's face, "We will have a chance to change our established destiny!" ”

He took a long breath, "Mass extinction." ”
