Has Land gone mad again?

But why does it feel different from usual?

Didn’t attack them? Is this another new symptom?

The two female dragons and the enchanting demon couldn’t help but wonder.

After a long time.

Land’s wild laughter persisted.

Sindri finally couldn’t help but ask:

"Land, did you... think of something interesting? Why are you suddenly so happy?"

Meanwhile, Doris’s eyes flashed, and she excitedly said, "Land, you must have figured it out and are ready to mate with me, right? Come on! I promise I’ll be gentle! Just leave everything to me!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha! I’m laughing because I thought of a way that might let my true self break free from the black hole!"

Land laughed, glancing at the two dragons and the enchanting demon beside him.

After more than five hundred years in the black hole and several decades in the Giant Dragon Royal Court, although he was a bit deranged,

he was quite different from before.

The biggest difference was his understanding of magic!

Magic Growth 27.

Although it was insignificant compared to his physical growth,

this number was not weak at all, perhaps even strong.

At the very least, it meant that Land was not inferior to Sindri, the Rainbow Dragon known for magical knowledge, in terms of magical talent.

The only disadvantage might be the time spent studying magic and the interest and willingness to learn it.

The 27 points in magic growth allowed his mind to expand and consider the possibility of breaking the impasse.

"A way to break free from the black hole?"

Sindri’s eyes flashed with excitement.

Doris, on the other hand, remained quiet.

"That’s right! The current me, due to the severe deficiencies in body and soul, cannot save myself.

But the past and future me are different!

Only they can rescue the current me!"

Land spoke with excitement.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two dragons and the enchanting demon fell silent.

They couldn’t quite grasp Land’s reasoning.

Nor did they know about Land’s outsider status.

But in the next moment,

Land’s ’relatively small’ dragon form was suddenly shrouded in time power, and his figure began to appear dreamlike.

This startled the two dragons.

"Land! You..."

"Don’t be surprised, I awakened a new time talent, and I will travel to the river of time to find a way to save myself.

Farewell, Sindri, Doris, and Doroshi.

The next time we meet, it will be my true self.

All your wishes, I will fulfill them one by one!

Regarding the development of the Giant Dragon Royal Court, you can switch strategies, with everything focused on protecting yourselves... wait for me... to return..."

Land spoke until he completely disappeared.

"Awakened a time talent... but even so, how would he save himself?

Does he intend to find himself thousands, or even tens of thousands of years later, who might have already escaped, to come to this world and save himself?

But would that version of himself still be himself?"

Sindri murmured to herself, watching the vast throne disappear.

Is the consciousness of life unchanging?

Of course not.

Life is constantly growing or regressing with each moment.

There’s not a single moment that is unchanging.

Today’s you, or the you of the next moment, might deeply regret the decisions made earlier, opting for different choices.

Neither absolute good nor absolute evil remains constant.

Future you is you, but also not you.

In two non-intersecting timelines,

would you unconditionally help another version of yourself?

Maybe you would... or maybe you wouldn’t...

However.

Knowing Land well from past encounters, Sindri was certain:

He would never help another version of himself without a reason!

Could Land himself not see this?

Of course he could!

So would he seek help from his future self?

.............

In an eerily dark alternate space-time.

A celestial river ran across it.

Its width immeasurable, its length unfathomable, seemingly more vast than the universe itself.

Countless time powers and countless slide-like images flowed upon it.

This was the river of time.

Land’s fragmented, diminutive body suddenly appeared within it.

Upon arrival, he even witnessed some wondrous creatures leaping constantly within the river of time, only to plunge back into it.

One of these creatures.

Looked extremely familiar to Land.

The creature’s charcoal-grey scales and skeletal structure without a defined spine gave a smooth impression.

Hourglass-shaped black scales covered its eye area like a mask.

Twelve irregularly spaced rings of black scales radiated from back to front on its body, resembling tree rings.

A sundial-like protrusion extended from the back of its skull, seemingly doubling the length of its head.

A pair of triangular wings extended and unfolded from a narrow point on its back, giving it an overall hourglass shape.

The two protrusions at the end of its tail gave it two tail tips.

It was the most powerful and mysterious of the legendary three dragons—the Time Dragon!

Land’s gaze was drawn to it, and as he examined it, the creature couldn’t help but return the gaze.

The moment it saw Land, it showed a trace of surprise, then a smile, nodding towards him before diving into the river of time.

Whoosh!!!

Before Land could ponder over this,
