What did it feel like to travel in the long River of Time?

Roy’s answer was that one would faint!

What he was sucked into was the vortex of a time flux. In other words, Roy was not simply moving against the current in the River of Time. Instead, what he faced was overlapping downstream currents and counter-currents without any pattern.

This led to this scene appearing in Roy’s eyes. One moment, it was like a movie playing at 0.5 times speed, and the next moment, it was playing backward at 20 times speed. Anyway, no matter how chaotic it was, there was no pattern to it. These scenes quickly flashed in his vision, and he couldn’t even see what they were. He could only capture one or two frames occasionally, which let him know that he was still on Azeroth.

But this situation soon changed. In the scenes that Roy could capture, creatures and environments outside Azeroth began to appear, and even scenes from the universe appeared.

Roy was actually not surprised because he knew very well that he had fallen into a time flux from Karazhan. Not only was time unstable in Karazhan, but even space was unstable. These chaotic time fluctuations would inevitably be affected by spatial fluctuations and throw him out of Azeroth. This was why he had asked Julia and Benia to meet up on Argus when they were separated because he already had a premonition that he would fall into another space.

This was no longer a simple time flux. Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it spacetime flux.

Roy maintained the Void energy form because he knew that if it were a pure body, no matter how powerful it was, it would be torn apart by this chaotic space and time.

Auriel also felt the danger. Her hands held Roy’s shoulder tightly while she maintained her Void Form. The two of them were spinning rapidly in the spacetime vortex.

Although the scene in front of him was very chaotic, Roy could feel that the River of Time he experienced was generally going backward. This reversal was very fast at first, but there would occasionally be some scenes of ‘braking’. For example, he had just seen a group of densely packed meteors flying out of a planet, but in the blink of an eye, these meteors fell toward the planet and bombarded it… Anyway, the reversal and forward motion of time were always intertwined, going back a certain distance and then moving forward a certain distance. Needless to say, the cause of this phenomenon was definitely Nozdormu’s power.

Murozond had drawn Roy into the time flux and even wanted to send him to the birth of the universe. Putting aside whether Murozond’s power could do this, even sending Roy millions of years ago would make him feel extremely uncomfortable. It was impossible for him to stay in this world and universe for millions of years before returning to the timeline.

Nozdormu’s ‘braking’ was undoubtedly helping him. Under the effect of the braking, it could prevent Roy from being thrown too far away in the River of Time…

Moreover, with Nozdormu’s power as a time observer, he was definitely thinking of a way to send Roy to the correct timeline in hopes that he could complete his ‘closed loop of history’.

Even so, Roy was still a little worried. Although he was a demon now, his concept was not the concept of a long-lived species. Even if Nozdormu could only send him thousands of years ago, he couldn’t imagine how he would spend these thousands of years… Moreover, it was not only a matter of time, but he had also been thrown into the universe, which meant that he had to face an unfamiliar cosmic environment.

Just as he was thinking this, Lilith’s feather hidden in his body suddenly flew out on its own!

Lilith’s feather emitted a strange light that instantly enveloped Roy and Auriel. The next second, Roy’s eyes suddenly darkened. He had already left the extremely bright environment of the spacetime flux, and the rapidly passing scenes in front of him completely stopped.

This sudden change stunned Roy for a while before he finally returned to his senses. Looking at Lilith’s feather in front of him, he understood that it was this feather that helped him escape!

Roy grabbed the feather and was at a loss. What’s going on? Did Lilith intervene? Do I owe my escape from the spacetime flux to Nozdormu or Lilith?

Is the time point that I jumped out of the time flux what Nozdormu expected or what Lilith expected?

What a headache. This was the reason Roy didn’t want to face these existences that played with time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Roy could only put away Lilith’s feather and observe his surroundings.

After jumping out of the spacetime flux, he was in a cosmic environment. In front of him was a blazing star. This star looked gigantic, meaning that he was not far from it.

The dazzling starlight radiated to the surrounding space, and a terrifyingly high temperature was attacking Roy. Looking at the flames millions of kilometers high rising from the star’s corona, he couldn’t help having lingering fears. He was very glad that he had jumped out of the spacetime flux. But if he had really fallen into the star as soon as he came out, it would really have been the end.

Even so, Roy could feel the Void energy draining from his body. The powerful gravitational field of this gigantic star was tearing away the Void energy in his body.

Void energy was actually very unstable after entering the material world from the Void dimension. It needed to devour the matter of the material world to reach a stable state of existence. This process also meant that the energy level of Void energy was falling and decaying. Once it stabilized in the material world, it meant that Void energy could also be eliminated by stronger forces. In other words, with the Void energy that Roy currently possessed, if he fell into a star, he wouldn’t be able to use Void energy to devour and transform the star, but he would instead be melted by the star.

Therefore, it was still very dangerous for Roy to face this mighty force in the universe. He had to find a way to escape from the gravitational field of the star.

In the gravitational field, Roy didn’t dare to open spaces randomly, so he could only escape through continuous Blinks. When the star behind him became the size of a basketball, he was already more than millions of kilometers away. The gravity of the star no longer had any effect on him, so he summoned Rafaro from the system space.

Rafaro was a creation of Roy’s system modifications, so even though he had fallen into a spacetime flux, it wouldn’t have an impact. When Roy summoned him, it was equivalent to him disappearing from the previous timeline.

“Ah, Great Master, it’s great to see you again…” Rafaro flattered Roy as usual after coming out. Then he returned to his senses and asked Roy in a daze, “Where are we? Are we not on Azeroth anymore?!”

“Stop talking nonsense and quickly change your form. I need to check the star map from your starship!” Roy’s expression was not good.

Rafaro didn’t dare to say anything else and quickly turned into the Void Seeker. Roy changed his body shape, entered the starship, and began to check the star map.

In fact, Roy didn’t have much hope of finding his location because he had copied the star map stored in Rafaro’s starship from Argus. It was the information recorded of the universe that the Burning Legion had wreaked havoc in over the years. This information was not complete because, often, they wouldn’t record planets that they had destroyed.

Even if there were records in the Burning Legion’s information, they would be from many years later. Don’t forget that Roy had been sent to who knew how many years ago in the River of Time. How could the planetary trajectories at this time correspond to the ones thousands or tens of thousands of years later?

Therefore, Roy was only hoping to see if he could find some similarities in the star map…

Sure enough, he searched on the starship’s computer for a long time but couldn’t find any place similar to the galaxy he was currently in.

“Master, do you still need to continue scanning this galaxy?” Rafaro’s voice echoed in the starship.

“Continue scanning!” Roy ordered. “See if there are any planets with life and civilization in this galaxy. We have to figure out where we are…”

The Void Seeker was flying slowly in space and continuously sent scanning signals to this galaxy. Roy had added these functions when he modified Rafaro. At the time, he had even complained to himself that he was clearly a demon, but he was doing technological things. Wasn’t this style off? Unexpectedly, he really used them now.

“I wonder which time and space Julia and Benia were sent to…” Roy said worriedly. “They don’t have a starship, so it’s probably difficult to find Argus in the universe…”

Hearing this, Rafaro said, “Master, with all due respect, don’t underestimate the two mistresses! They’re also powerful demons, so they should have no problems protecting themselves.”

“I hope so…” Roy said. “Any results from your scan?”

“Yes, there are results. But Master, we’re probably in trouble!” Rafaro said. “I’ll show you the scan.”

As Rafaro finished speaking, a ray of light lit up in the starship, and a huge projection appeared in front of the control console.

When Roy saw this scene, he immediately stood up in surprise. “What the hell is this?!”

In the projection that Rafaro showed him, there was a grayish-brown planet. This planet had a half-life satellite, which was the so-called moon, rotating in the same orbit as this planet. But what was strange was that a ferocious giant tentacle hundreds of thousands of kilometers long darted out from the surface of this grayish-brown planet, pierced through this moon, and connected the moon and the planet!

Moreover, from the scene displayed by Rafaro, there were giant holes everywhere on this grayish-brown planet. They covered the surface of the entire planet like freckles, giving people suffering from trypophobia a chill.

This planet was huge. The fact that these holes could be displayed so clearly on this planet meant that each hole was at least tens of thousands of square kilometers in size!

It was no wonder that Roy stood up in surprise. He had never seen such a strange sight.

“This planet is currently the sixth-largest planet in this galaxy. My scan results tell me that there were signs of life on this planet, but now, these signs of life have completely disappeared!” Rafaro explained. “Not only have the signs of life disappeared, but the planet’s oceans and atmosphere have also disappeared. At the core of the planet, I’ve detected a colossus. It is so large that it fills most of the planet. The holes all over the surface of the planet should have formed when those giant tentacles drilled out… Moreover, Master, I’ve detected quite powerful Void energy from this colossus!”

After hearing Rafaro’s explanation, Roy immediately understood. “An Old God?!”

Yes, Roy could only think of this kind of thing. But the Old God on this planet was probably completely different from the Old Gods of Azeroth.

Because the Old God here was probably already complete! Because it had already destroyed the entire planet…
