I was born into a human city-state.

Born in the turbulent era of the Divine Fire Era, the whole world was in turmoil.

The reason why humans can survive by hiding in remote corners is not because we are strong, but because the environment we live in is too harsh.

The chaotic place [Giant Plains] that not many races are willing to manage.

It is rumored that after the fall of the Titans, their descendants, the Giants, began to become increasingly cruel and crazy.

Gradually, the Giant Plains became a desolate place.

Each of the three city-states living around the Giant Plains is more like a dog-skin plaster rooted in this place than a city-state.

Let the monsters on the Giant Plains wreak havoc.

Let the city-state be destroyed.

As long as the underground passages in the city-state can provide us with a living environment, then when all the destruction is over, we will crawl out from underground and rebuild the city-state.

I, Grace, was born into this chaotic era.

Sean and Hills are two of my best buddies.

In the past, the three of us would secretly chop firewood outside the city-state and bring the firewood into the city to supplement our household income.

On this day, when we were out, a beast tide suddenly broke out.

The unprecedented terrifying beast tide almost submerged everything in sight.

I thought of Hills.

He wanted to finish chopping wood today, so he hurried into the depths of the dense forest.

What should he do? At the speed the monsters were moving, Hills was in great danger.

While I was still thinking about how to get Hills out, a monster bigger than my tiled house pounced on me.

I feel like I'm going to die.

But that day, I saw the gods.

The gods descended from the sky and completely crushed the waves of monsters.

The majestic power of God spread across the sky.

A majestic being in armor saved me from being killed.

"Little girl, this is not a place for children."

He turned around and wiped out the monsters.

When he was about to leave, I subconsciously said:

"Thank you, God, for saving me."

But the adult turned around and said, "I am not a god."

"But the power you possess is stronger than any being I have ever seen."

"But I'm not."

"Then... Lord God, how should I address you?"

The being paused for a moment, and suddenly said in a somewhat subtle tone: "Then you can call me Caesar."

"Mr. Caesar?" I knelt on the ground awkwardly. "Please help me. My friend is deeper in the grassland. He has a family."

However, Lord God did not respond, but turned around and stepped into the Jedi.

He left only one sentence:

"Just wait patiently."

When I met Hills again, Hills excitedly told me that he had obtained the inheritance called Nine Swords from God.

The inheritance of God possesses incomparable power. Hills decided to think about it carefully to see if there is a chance to catch a glimpse of God's lingering trace.

And I just want to see the person who saved my life again.

I would like to thank him again solemnly.

Not because he saved himself, but because he gave me and my compatriots room to breathe and develop.

Yet I never heard again of the legend of the Seven.

A long time passed and I gradually grew up.

I still wander across the continent, looking for them.

One day, I heard that the Conquerors, the strongest adventure group on the continent, planned to call on adventurers from all sides to jointly establish a platform called the [Adventurers Guild].

At that time, I was thinking that if such a platform could be established, I might be able to obtain a lot of secret information that I could not understand on my own.

——For example, the existence of the Seven Gods.

After I arrived at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters and released the information about the investigation of the Seven Gods, I received an invitation from the president.

There, a man named Salman Aslaqat asked me, "Why are you looking for news about the Seven Heroes?"

I stood there in a daze.

Ten years have passed since I first embarked on the path to transcendence, and now it has been 10 years since I have been promoted to a paragon.

In the past 10 years, I have climbed over mountains and crossed swamps, and in every dream I want to see that adult again.

Until today, this is the first time I heard their title from someone else.

Seven Heroes.

I said slowly, "You call them the Heroic Seven?"

I told my story to Salman Aslaqat.

Salman sighed and said:

"If you want to find them again, it's almost impossible."

"Why?"

"The hero is dead."

"Who killed him?"

"The evil god from outer space."

"Can we kill them?"

"You think I don't want to?"

Salman sighed:

"Among the seven heroes, only the one from the Golden Country remains on the continent. As for the Armored Hero you are looking for, he never returned after entering the Star Realm."

I was silent for a long time, and after a moment I said, "I remember that outsiders are not allowed to enter the Golden Country, right?"

"If you want to meet the Elf Queen, I can write you a letter of recommendation. As for whether you can meet her, I can't guarantee it."

"Then please help me."

Later, I crossed mountains and rivers and headed for the Golden Country.

There I met the Stuart Queen.

The Queen sat on her throne, looked at me calmly and said:

"You want to see the Armored Hero again?"

"yes."

"Why?"

"I just wanted to say thank you to him again."

"But you'll probably never see him again."

"Is it because he's dead?"

"No, it's because he's lost his way."

"Trek?"

"Kronos, the river of time, said that he does not exist in the past, present, or future. He has lost his anchor and is likely to disappear under the wash of the river of time."

I am a little confused.

Does this mean that I will never be able to say thank you to my benefactor again? Instinctively, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

"Can I help him?"

"You can't help. You don't have the ability." The Elf Queen made a cold judgment.

And I said: "Since you said that it was the River of Time that washed away the Armored Hero, that means the River of Time also has its own consciousness, right?"

“…”

"Since it is conscious, it can communicate and interact, right?"

“…”

"I mean, is there a possibility, some method, that can help him escape the scouring of time?

Is it just because it is too difficult that everyone ignores the method?

If there is such a way, I am willing to pay any price."

The Elf Queen fell into a long silence.

At that time, I heard a voice: "Yes, but it is basically impossible to achieve."

I subconsciously raised my head and looked at the sky.

But the sky was empty.

"I am Kronos, the incarnation of the River of Time. Your request is basically impossible to achieve."

"So what Lord Kronos means is that there is still a glimmer of hope, right?"

"Yes, provided you have the opportunity to become a god."

"Ascend to the Gods?"

"Yes, only when you become a god can you have the possibility to realize this condition. In addition, in order to achieve the desired effect, you need to complete the initial transformation of the power of laziness."

At this time, the Elf Queen said:

"Cronus..."

"Oh, King of Truth, the birth of the King of Pride and the King of Rage has certainly pushed back the abyss, but it has also exacerbated the information void.

The dragon race has completed the entry-level transformation of the power of laziness, but has also reached its limit.

With only the existing races in the Star Continent, even if they are operating at overload, this is the limit.

Glory can carry and transform some power, but it is also reaching its limit.

The other gods cannot return to the stars either.

so……

You can only choose one of the four gods of the future human race."

At this moment, I felt a huge gaze fixed on me.

"The Four Gods of the Human Race, the future Lord of the Dawn, although I think this is a bit redundant, I will ask it again...

Are you really determined to become the node that anchors the timeline of the King of Redemption? "

I closed my eyes, opened them again and said firmly: "I do."

"You will replace him and become a non-existent ghost that does not exist in the past, present, or future."

"I know."

"You will be lost in the long river of time, repeatedly imprisoned in an infinitely restarted world, until the destined king of salvation replaces your existence."

"I know."

"You can't say thank you to him anymore."

"It's okay."

"Everyone will forget you."

I lowered my head, smiled and said:

"He is the future, right?"

"yes."

"Then let him be the proof of my existence."

At this moment, I clearly see the long river of time across the sky.

Kronos, the god of time, comes to the world.

"Thanks to the great Lord of the Morning for his sacrifice, the waves of the long river of time will be calmed by you."

At this moment, the power of the great sin of laziness flowed into my body.

I started a long journey.

My body is sealed in the Golden City, while my soul floats across the continent.

The search for the "future Armored Hero" was repeated again and again.

One year.

ten years.

One hundred years.

A thousand years.

…

The passage of time has gradually made me lose my human emotions.

Again and again.

Every midnight, I think of his voice.

In the blink of an eye…

6700 years have passed.

Year 14432 of the Stellar Calendar.

I was passing by a village when I found a flower similar to his.

This is the first time in more than 6,700 years that I have seen someone somewhat similar to him.

I stood there in a daze.

Is it him? I watched him grow up, and watched his village burn down by followers of the evil god.

I chose to rescue him.

However, at this moment.

Time restarted.

I went back to more than 6,700 years ago again.

Kronos told me that I had failed to anchor.

I closed my eyes.

It's okay.

He actually failed with that child, which means that the child named Louis, even if he is not him, is closely related to him.

Restart for the second time.

I asked for outside help to help him, but the anchoring failed.

Restart for the 3rd time.

I personally went out to kill all the followers of the evil god, and the anchoring failed.

The 4th time, the 5th time, the 6th time…

Time and again, no matter what I tried, no matter how hard I tried to save him, all I got was [Anchor Failed].

For the 2191th time, I finally had to admit that only by giving up on saving him could I re-anchor.

So, for the 2192nd time, I didn't save him.

He was abducted by human traffickers and his hometown was burning.

2911 times, I was sure that the only way to continue anchoring was to not block him from entering the White Tower.

4122 times, with my information interference, he successfully inherited the great sin of greed.

But he is still not the one I'm looking for.

6122 times, I determined that Beatrice's death was the key to the Anchor Point's advancement.

9457 times, I determined that the birth of Huoguo was the key to anchoring the advancement.

12431 times, I watched him secretly release Olivia from the palace, and progress finally moved forward again.

23479 times, I witnessed with my own eyes the end of the Huo Kingdom and the end of the Enther Empire being razed to the ground by monsters.

Threads of information from countless reincarnations are entangled in me.

I vaguely felt that something was about to break out.

but……

At this point, things seem to have reached a deadlock.

29443 times, another anchor is about to fail.

I felt the last of my strength fading.

But I still couldn't find him.

I chose to come before this king of a fallen country in advance.

That night, I listened to the cries of a nation kneeling under the black sun of destruction.

"I want to save my benefactor's country."

“I want to save my hometown.”

“I don’t want to see the devastated land.”

"But, who can help me?"

Time and again, Huoguo kept praying.

At this moment, I suddenly understood something.

The power of information began to flow into the great sin of greed.

Countless twisted forces and the power of the great sin and greed intertwined with each other, and eventually crystallized and merged with the diary of the deceived country.

He opened the Greed Diary with trembling hands.

And I wrote a sentence on the last page of my diary.

“What are you willing to give to save this country?”

Huoguo stared blankly at the end of the diary, and suddenly said:

"My everything."

"Then you will be swallowed by the river of time, just like me. Even so, you don't care?"

Huoguo slowly closed his eyes and said:

"If I can do it."

At this moment, I finally found that possibility among countless timelines.

I need to send him to the guillotine myself.

At the same time, I also realized a problem.

"Is my mission coming to an end?"

“You are about to be washed away.” The light of the God of Glory and Justice bloomed in front of me. “Chenxi, I am sorry that I can’t help you.”

However, I smiled and said, "It's okay, this is what I want to do."

"Then, as the glorious Saint, the King of Dawn who plays with history, please fall into the human world."

Year 14470 of the Stellar Calendar.

The Holy Maiden of Glory reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Deception to allow the Church of Dawn to move into the city of Tino to resist the abyss and... the Black Sun of Destruction.

On this day, I stepped into the city of Tino.

Although 7.6 million people settled in this prosperous and crowded land, and tried every means to ravage it into the political and economic center of the empire; although the small countries adjacent to Unther mocked this land for being too decadent and lacking in humanistic feelings, it still could not stop many people from yearning for this place.

Because this is the capital of the Enser Empire, one of the three major empires of the human race.

Or, it used to be.

It is always rainy in the afternoons in Tino City. Normally, the hustle and bustle of the city would be dampened a lot at this time.

But today, no matter how heavy the rain is, it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the citizens of Tino.

They rushed out of their homes joyfully and bathed in the rain. Bards played instruments and ordinary citizens beat drums and gongs to welcome this day worthy of celebration.

The enchanted king, Louis Charles Julius, made an indelible contribution to the laughter of the people of Tinos.

Because the citizens below were spreading the news that he was about to be sent to the guillotine.

On this day, the country of confusion disappeared under the devouring of the greedy diary.

A ghost from another time and space has taken over the magpie's nest.

I stood on the high platform, and the priests below were loudly talking about the crime of misleading the country.

"As a foreign prince who was canonized by the First Princess against all odds, Louis was extremely extravagant, amassed countless wealth, and colluded with assassins from the enemy country to assassinate the First Princess who had just ascended the throne as Queen..."

"They united to attack the dissidents, and forcibly seized the throne of the empire in the name of the first princess's fiancé, and imprisoned the second princess, the heir to Enser, for ten years..."

"Unfair governance and excessive demands have caused Enser's national strength to decline, and the people are indignant..."

"Today, under the watchful eyes of all citizens of Tino, Louis Charles Julius, the 'Seduced State', the 'Prince of Succubus', the 'Look of Greed', the 'Emperor without Light', was beheaded. Seduced State, do you have anything else to say?"

"Hey, Huoguo, don't move!" A soldier took him to the guillotine and said with a smile: "When you kicked me out of the guards because I stepped into the gate with my right foot, did you ever think that this day would come?"

"That's enough. Let's execute him."

My eyes were already washed away by the information of time, and I whispered.

The current Armored Hero is still not the Armored Hero.

His time shouldn't be here, but in the future after the next restart.

I looked at him calmly and said, "Would you believe me if I said this had nothing to do with me?"

Finally, I sighed softly: "Goodbye, the lightless emperor. I hope you can find the value of your existence in the world after death."

This is your guillotine, and it is also my guillotine.

As the guillotine fell, everything in me began to fall apart.

The incarnation of the Lord of Glory appeared beside me: "It's time to say goodbye, Dawn."

I smiled and said, "Does this count as saving the world?"

"Maybe, but everything that happens next has nothing to do with you. It will be his story."

"Good."

When everything I had was about to collapse, the Lord of Glory could not bear it and said:

"If there is an afterlife, what would you say to him?"

I sighed and said, "After such a long time, I can't tell what I was thinking, but..."

"but?"

"If there is another similar flower blooming in this world, I hope that flower can speak for me."

"say what?"

"Thank you anyway, Mr. Caesar."

"I can only keep the scraps of your information."

I winked playfully and said:

"That seems pretty good. Next time, let me also be part of his story."

The story begins with the guillotine.

The time traveler, Grace, has vanished into thin air.

…

“Grace.”

A soft cry woke Grace up.

She looked up blankly.

The scene of the divine wedding was filled with flowers.

The disaster of the Phailin Demonic Sunflower was suppressed with the full efforts of the dragons, dwarves and elves.

The crisis in the Golden Country is resolved.

For a time, the whole world was plunged into carnival over the arrival of peace.

At this moment when everyone was sharing the joy of peaceful life, Louis announced his plan for a divine marriage with Beatrice.

First, he married Beatrice in a grand ceremony.

Then there are Olivia and Ais.

Ten years later, Alice, who had become the goddess of hunting, was finally caught by him. After getting married, they were going to fly beyond the stars.

Today is the last day of Alice's wedding.

——Well, actually there is a certain unscrupulous goddess in private.

Grace witnessed each of their weddings.

White flowers always cover the ground.

Louis announced to the public that in order to ensure the continued operation of virtue and chastity, he made a declaration under the god of love and vowed not to marry again.

Grace never expected to be that person by his side, but she was okay with that.

Just as she was about to leave, Louis appeared in front of her.

"Grace Brent."

Grace froze in place and looked back.

Louis was standing behind her.

"What's the matter, Mr. Caesar?"

"Are you interested in becoming the deputy lord of the military world? You still have a long life ahead of you. I remember someone said they wanted to be part of my story."

He stretched out his hand to the girl and said:

"So, choose me, Grace."

Grace was stunned in place, and suddenly a smile appeared on her lips: "Then please give me your guidance, Mr. Caesar."
