[After countless pursuits and countless escapes, you have finally approached the Yuanjiu River, a place known in ancient times as the "Source River of the Emperor."]
At this moment, every member of your team has ascended to the level of True Immortal through various extraordinary encounters, and each of you has also comprehended a unique Dao principle with a certain degree of restraint.
You know the show is coming to an end.
One by one, the main characters began to die, sacrificing themselves to send the young couple into the river of time.
[You used the full power of the Star Alliance to set a galaxy ablaze, successfully leading you into the outer reaches of the Primordial River.]
The cold-faced, cool man shouted battle cries, perishing together with a member of the Fierce Clan who was blocking the river's edge. This attracted a large number of eyes, drawing away a group of guards and leaving other defenses vulnerable.
[The electronic girl unleashed her ultimate computing power, manipulating the ultimate technological fortress of the Yuanjiu Changhe Jiujiu clan, causing its multiple barriers to freeze for one-three-hundredth of a second before being pulverized into a jumble of scattered data.]
[The Dao Fruit condensed by the pet mouse when it broke through to the seventh realm has most of its functions related to "beast control" and "soul control." Just as the last four of you were about to rush into the Yuanjiu River, a giant snake with ninety-nine heads that had been sleeping on the outer side of the river was awakened!]
[Ninety-nine snake bodies coiled over a million light-years, almost covering everything in front of the last three people and their pet. The demon rat, Squeak, also exhausted all its Dao source at this moment, just to slow it down even by a fraction of a second.]
[The ninety-nine-foot-long giant serpent left a final gap because of that one instant, allowing the last three of you to pierce through it and rush into the Eternal River. However, your last companion, Zhizhi, also perished in the process.]
"After all that, it turns out that only this mouse among the other three teammates had its name appear."
The two young lovers were in tears. They couldn't understand why you had to make such a huge sacrifice. Qianqian even felt that she wasn't worth the price you paid and wanted to turn herself in to the Nine Great Gods just to ensure everyone's safety.
"Why? Because we're partners!"
"You two can't let all the sacrifices be in vain!!!"
[You shoved her into Loya's arms, ordered the silver-haired youth to hold her tight, and then kicked them both into the Yuanjiu River.]
Luo Ya and Qian Qian entered that distorted dimension one after the other. The Ancient River of Time is still in operation, and the ancient laws randomly transported them back to the past of this universe.
It wasn't random; it was more accurately described as destiny.
[The instant the two young lovers vanish into the river, you, following closely behind them, raise your right hand.]
And so, the frantic pursuers behind them, their roars and shouts, fell silent at that moment.
This grand drama has now come to an end.
You slowly turn around, and where your gaze falls, the ancestral gods, holy gods, and heavenly gods who were just moments before swaggering about all bow their heads and lower their brows.
When Di Luo's figure emerged from the crowd, they all knelt down.
[The cold-faced man, the electronic girl, and the monstrous Zizi—these three teammates emerged from the crowd behind them, their expressions complex.]
"Boring... What's going on?"
"Squeak?"
"You just told us that they are all loyal subjects of the imperial family, and that everything we've encountered was just an act?"
[The truth about the two humans and the beast wasn't revealed to them until the very last moment, so they could go to their deaths without any hesitation and get their lunchboxes first.]
You watched Di Luo walk step by step towards the River of Emperor's Origin (the Eternal River), and took a deep breath: "To be honest, I don't quite understand how the plot has developed to this point either."
Your understanding and their three understandings are not the same kind of understanding.
The three of them wanted to know the exact relationship between the nine divine races and the lost imperial clan. They wanted to understand your role in the team. They were even more curious about the middle-aged man, Di Luo, who had suddenly appeared... who was he?
You know all of this perfectly well; you know the entire plan, you know all the behind-the-scenes developments.
[But you still don't understand what the life trajectory from Loya to Tilo was like.]
You still haven't sorted out everything he's been through, and with all this information you have... you really don't understand.
Something even more puzzling happened.
[Luo Ya and Qian Qian entered the River of the Emperor's Source, disappearing into time, their whereabouts unknown.]
Then, at this moment, their "father," Di Luo, also bids farewell to you.
"Brother Yun, it's time for me to leave too."
He accepts the added memories he was given, looking at you earnestly, because he truly hopes you can save him from a tragedy destined from birth.
[Di Luo followed closely behind the young couple as they stepped into the River of Emperor's Origin. You guessed he was going back to the future, back to the time and space where you first met.]
He too vanished into time... but in the instant before he disappeared, a figure passed by Di Luo.
[That figure originated from an unknown point in time. The instant Di Luo was teleported away, that figure arrived in this timeline, slowly walking from the chaotic flow of time, treading upon the flowing light.]
He... had a face like Loa's.
[Young Loya and Qianqian entered the River of the Emperor's Source, followed closely by the older Di Luo. All three of them were transported to other eras... and then another Loya was transported from another era?]
The situation has developed to a point you completely cannot understand, after all, you haven't resorted to mind-reading and soul-searching on everyone.
[The Loya who emerged didn't recognize you, nor did he recognize your three former teammates. You smiled and greeted him before entering the River of Emperor's Source as well.]
Want to know what happened? Then go and experience it for yourself!
[Following the thread of fate and cause and effect of the first young couple to depart, you travel upstream through the river of time in this universe, arriving in its past!]
You have traveled back nearly two trillion years!
[The fall of the Emperor marks the beginning of the universe's creation!]
"Then it seems there's a significant problem with this universe. The normal universe has a lifespan of one trillion years, but this one has existed for two trillion years..."
In this universe of isomers from which light and dust originate, there are actually three cosmic eras.
The first era was the Supreme Era, followed by the Imperial Era where the imperial clan reigned supreme over all heavens, and finally, the Era of Emperor Luo.
[You, and the young couple from Loyana, have arrived at the Supreme Era!]
