After Kiran made a few more gestures, a clock dial and a magical pattern of a Runeterra planet appeared on the fingertips of his left and right hands respectively. Several copper rings floated out from the large gear and slowly stopped in front of the two of them, just like a holographic display, projecting different dynamic images.
Li Lin was surprised to find that these fleeting images seemed to be parallel universes related to the main universe world line.
The images they show have no similarities, but they all inevitably show what is happening in various countries in Runeterra:
There is a scene where Swain, who had obtained demonic power in advance and overthrew Darkwill's rule, killed Irelia in Presidium, and then led Noxus to defeat Karma, massacre the Order of the Kinkou, and completely conquer Ionia;
There are scenes of Ionia uniting and completely driving Noxus out of the New World, and then Irelia ascending the throne and being crowned as Queen;
There are scenes of Demacia's counterattack against Noxus, the eventual capture of the Immortal Bastion, Garen personally beheading Darius, the Hand of Noxus, and Jarvan IV publicly executing Swain;
As long as the Shurima Empire remains, Azir and Xerath will unite to spread the light of the Sun Disc to every corner of Runeterra, establishing the Golden Disc, a symbol of the Empire's provinces, around the world.
There is a scene where Ashe, the Warmother of the Freljord Avarosan tribe, finally defeats Sejuani, the Warmother of the Winter's Claw tribe, and Lissandra, the Frost Witch, with the help of the demigod Anivia, and unifies the Freljord to become the Queen;
There are also different parallel universes such as the Curse of Ruin sweeping the world, engulfing the entire Runeland in black fog, Mordekaiser leading the army of the underworld back to the material realm, completely transforming the world of the living into a paradise for the dead and bringing it under his own rule, etc.
However, these different parallel worlds have only one destination:
Black and purple corrupted and filthy creatures occupied the earth. Void Watchers broke through the ice and descended into the material realm, devouring time and space, bringing an end to all things. Everything turned to nothingness...
Li Lin couldn't help but gasp, and subconsciously reached out to press his left chest, feeling his pounding heart.
“Time, space, reality, it is not a linear path of development, it is a prism with infinite possibilities. Any simple choice will lead to another completely different time and space.”
Kiran's eyes were completely covered by a blue light, and his voice had a sense of otherworldly emptiness, as if he and Li Lin were not in the same time and space when he spoke.
"With so many parallel worlds, is there no successful case of solving the void?" Li Lin couldn't help but ask.
Kiran slowed down the frequency of clicking his hands, and then with a big wave of his left hand, he dispersed most of the circular images in front of him, leaving only a row of circles with the scene of "Li Lin" appearing.
But what puzzled Li Lin was that the "self" he saw in these pictures was doing exactly the same thing from beginning to end.
Same time, same place, unified actions and dialogues...
No matter how the people he communicates with changes or how the environment around him changes, what he does remains the same.
"Li Lin fled to Piltover to escape the war. He initially worked as a handyman in a watch shop, but later seized a business opportunity and became a multinational businessman. Eventually, he encountered Gangplank, the ocean calamity, on the Watcher's Sea. He was shot in the head and killed. His body sank to the bottom of the sea, where it was devoured by a sea monster."
Jilan glanced at the dazed Li Lin and said, "Perhaps the repetition of events in certain timelines will lead to their close connection and similarity, but each timeline is unique. There can't be only one ending for a person, not even me."
Then, he waved his hand again, dispelling these scenes, leaving only the last circle, which was the scene of the past shown in the current timeline.
The scene shown above is exactly what happened during the Evolution Day celebration two years ago, when Li Lin said goodbye to the owner of the watch shop at the dock, and then followed the crowd to the northern part of Piltover to participate in the selection of skilled craftsmen by the Gilaman family.
"As for you, I didn't realize at first that you were the world's organizer, but you are different from the countless other timeline branches. You made a completely different choice.
"When I wanted to use the power of time to peek into more clues on your timeline, I was shocked to find that you were on our timeline.
"And the mass extinction that I had originally foreseen was inevitable for Runeterra. After you made a completely different choice, the indispellable fog of time obscured my vision, making it impossible for me to see the future of our world clearly.
"But this is also our hope, because it means our predetermined destiny has shifted."
Kiran stopped his gestures, the emerald green light on his body gradually faded, and everything around the two of them returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Then, Kiran turned to face Li Lin, who had not yet recovered from his daze, and put his hand on his shoulder with a very serious expression.
"I've been observing you, but your progress is too slow. With your current rate of growth, you simply can't fight against the Void... I must give you another push."
