Chapter 167: Can Only Wait
Jiang Jiu opened his eyes and looked at the slightly unfamiliar ceiling, his head feeling dazed.
She hasn't gotten over the memories she's recovered yet, and her mind is in a mess. She's also not used to this villa she's suddenly moved into.
After sitting up and taking a long time to calm down, she remembered that today was the day she was leaving.
Leave the long river of time and return to the time that originally belonged to her.
Or it could be said that it was time that did not belong to her.
A person who chooses to escape from time, from today on, can only be a bystander, watching time flow forward while she stands still.
Jiang Jiu closed his eyes, cleared his mind of the chaotic emotions, stood up and walked out.
At that time, there were already many figures standing in the living room, including Fo Jiang.
"Are you awake?"
When Long Xuan saw Jiang Jiu, his eyes lit up.
"Well, time to go."
Jiang Jiu sighed, walked forward, and looked at the magic circle arranged in the center of the living room. She had also studied in the world of cultivation for a period of time, and it looked a little familiar. It was probably a magic circle related to space travel.
"The tree spirits have taken over the upper reaches of the River of Time. We must act quickly."
Xiao Nianzhong said with a serious expression.
"good."
Jiang Jiu closed his eyes and walked towards the center of the magic circle.
Seeing Jiang Jiu being so proactive, the others didn't say much, but stood in their respective positions and activated the time seal.
Rays of light lit up in the magic circle and converged on Jiang Jiu. Countless events seemed to flow before her eyes, from the past to the future, and even things that happened in other parallel worlds, all unfolded before her one by one, related to her, related to other people, as long as they were standing in the magic circle.
Jiang Jiu felt that time seemed to pass very quickly, slipping away from her quickly and leaving her completely behind.
Her consciousness also began to become blurred, and the voices of the men chanting spells were no longer heard in her ears. But just when Jiang Jiu was completely immersed in it and was ready to accept the effects of the curse and reach the correct timeline, she suddenly felt her brain explode.
“!”
Jiang Jiu suddenly opened her eyes and looked forward. She didn't know when she appeared in the void.
The whole person was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a group of greedy time insects, but there was no one around him.
Both the tree spirit and the men had disappeared, leaving her alone to face a group of violent insects that were coveting her.
Jiang Jiu's expression suddenly became stern. She had no magic power now and couldn't even resist.
Although I don’t know what happened, I absolutely cannot let myself be bullied like this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu struggled to control her body. Even though it was difficult, she tried hard to regain control of her body. The Time Worm surrounded her into a sphere, and she was in the center of the sphere. If she didn't struggle, she would be eaten.
There was no sound in my ears, only the buzzing of the Time Worm's wings.
Jiang Jiu didn’t know how long it had been, maybe a moment, maybe a long time, she was finally able to move.
She called out to Bai Ze almost subconsciously, but there was no response.
Jiang Jiu's heart sank suddenly. She was just an ordinary person now. How could she deal with this group of bugs that even Xiao Nianzhong and the others couldn't deal with?
She looked around but didn't see any place to escape. Her heart sank deeper and deeper, as if there was no possibility of survival.
She always seemed to be compromising before.
As long as it can benefit others, it doesn't matter if she makes some sacrifices.
She has never faced her own heart. What does she want?
Jiang Jiu has always been confused about this matter. In fact, being alive has never been what she wants or pursues the most. Her life is boring and she can't find any direction. What does it matter even if her life continues?
What can she do?
When Jiang Jiu fell into helplessness, the first thing that came to his mind was to escape and accept his fate.
No matter how scared you are, it will be like this.
She never seemed to think about herself.
Jiang Jiu stared into the void, thinking blankly.
The Time Worms just surrounded her quietly without rushing towards her. Jiang Jiu also did not move, remaining in a stalemate with them.
...
In reality, seven men stood in a circle around Jiang Jiu, each with worry in their eyes. They had clearly followed the method given by the world consciousness to take Jiang Jiu away, but in the end they did return to the real timeline.
Jiang Jiu didn't know why he couldn't wake up, and everyone was very anxious.
Chi Li was even so anxious that he went directly to meet the world consciousness of the earth.
"What's going on?"
Chi Li's anxiety was already evident on his face, and there was no trace of his previous composure.
"It's a fear she needs to overcome. If she can't, she'll never wake up."
The Earth Consciousness was calm. He only took a glance at Jiang Jiu and explained the reason.
"What fear? You never mentioned it before!"
Yu Zimo followed closely behind, his face as black as charcoal. They had made so much effort, if all their efforts were wasted, it would be better for them to stay with Jiang Jiu throughout the long river of time, even if there was the threat of the Time Worm.
"This is her own problem, no one can solve it."
The earth consciousness spoke in a light tone. Human emotions have always been a threshold, but ordinary people will not turn them into concrete difficulties. Instead, they allow the trajectory of their lives to be affected in every aspect of life until they are trapped in a corner and it becomes an insurmountable suffering.
Only in the case of ginger wine is it possible to face it in person.
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Nianzhong asked with a frown on his face.
"She's actually never been confident in herself. Whether dead or alive, she's always been pushed around and has no real ideas of her own. She agreed to leave with you only because she wanted to fulfill your wishes, not because she truly wanted to."
"There may be a part of her fear of death, but the real reason is that she wants you to be happy."
When the Earth Consciousness said this, its expression became a little complicated.
"She likes to avoid problems and never looks at her own heart. Even now she doesn't know what she wants, which is why she is like this."
After it finished speaking, the men who had come to question it fell silent.
It seemed to be true. In the end, I didn't find out what Jiang Jiu really wanted. I just waited for her memory to recover and for her to say that she was willing to leave.
"So what do we do now?"
Fo Jiang asked with his eyes darkening.
"In fact, she should have been given more time to adapt, to find her life's purpose and the meaning and value of her existence. Unfortunately, the existence of the Time Worm brought all of this forward. She had no time to search, and could only face it head-on."
The Earth Consciousness patiently explained it again.
"...So we can only wait?"
Fo Jiang said in a deep voice.
