In the dark and deep void, Lin Zhongtian stood in the air, emitting silver light all over his body. His deep eyes seemed to be cast in silver, and his silver pupils reflected the silver light ball in front of him, as well as a faint ribbon-like river.
In the rolling sea of gray fog above, a vast and boundless consciousness cast a focused gaze.
The supreme authority of time and space unique to the void enveloped Lin Zhongtian's body, allowing him to use the perspective of his subjective consciousness to peek into the world before him in this space where the flow of time was almost frozen.
Perhaps a moment passed, or perhaps tens of thousands of years passed.
The silver light in Lin Zhongtian's eyes gradually faded, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He finally understood what God meant...
This kind of operation of jumping out of the long river of time can only be understood but not described.
During this period of time, he did nothing but stood there, across the world barrier, quietly observing the long river of time in the world in the silver light ball.
Then at a certain moment, Lin Zhongtian suddenly saw the appearance of the long river of time clearly.
As he had expected, this world and the river of time that ran through it were extremely strange.
It is not the normal linear flowing river of time, but a coexistence of linear and point-like shapes.
To describe it in the simplest terms, there are many important time nodes in this world.
For life within the world, time flows normally linearly, but if you jump out of this world, or browse the long river of time outside the world like Lin Zhongtian, you can choose time nodes to travel through.
This time node can be the present, the past or the future.
Lin Zhongtian observed and found that the space-time barriers at important time nodes in this world were quite weak.
Anyone with the relevant abilities can probably travel back and forth between important time nodes, and even change the past and the future.
In addition, Lin Zhongtian also discovered that the distribution of important time nodes in this world was very uneven.
In a certain section of the long river of time, important time nodes are as densely packed as raindrops.
Outside of this period, important time nodes are only sporadically distributed.
Some even occur thousands or tens of thousands of years apart.
Lin Zhongtian observed the long river of time thoughtfully, and suddenly took a step forward, using the authority of time and space to guide his body into the long river of time.
…
On the ancient battlefield, flames shot up into the sky and dark clouds rolled down.
An enormous black spaceship was suspended in the yellow sky.
Countless smaller spaceships flew out, circling around the battlefield and shooting out yellow high-energy lasers.
On the ground, the gods from Olympus, together with human armies from all over the world, Amazon warriors, and the Atlantean army that has not yet been forced to move to the bottom of the sea, are resisting the powerful enemies that are coming from beyond the stars.
On the battlefield, blood was splattered everywhere, body parts were scattered everywhere, and the shouts and screams were deafening.
The primitive swords and the high-energy rays of technology are intertwined, constantly taking away one life after another.
In the center of the battlefield, the Olympian gods, led by Zeus, the king of gods, fought fiercely with the new god Darkseid.
Behind Darkseid, five wizards in metallic black robes were chanting spells.
Three black cubes were suspended above their heads and slowly gathered together under the influence of a golden-red energy.
"Is this... the DC Ancient War?"
High above the battlefield, beside a huge spaceship, a handsome young man radiating silver light was looking down at the battlefield with a strange expression on his face.
There is no doubt that this person is Lin Zhongtian who traveled through time and space.
He browsed the long river of time outside the world, and selected a past time node that was far away from the current linear flow timeline, then easily crossed here and landed on the battlefield in front of him.
Looking at Zeus and the god of war Ares who were fighting fiercely with Darkseid below, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Based on his understanding of the DC world, this should be the world of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
What was happening before his eyes was the ancient war that opened the Golden Age of Heroes.
The humans on Earth and the old gods gathered together to fight against the new god Darkseid from outer space, and finally succeeded in driving him out of the Earth, making the Earth the only world at that time that had not been conquered by Darkseid.
So the question is, this is the past of the current timeline of this world.
If Lin Zhongtian helps Darkseid and changes the outcome of this battle, what will happen in the normal timeline?
Lin Zhongtian was very curious.
"call out--"
At this moment, a yellow high-energy ray shot out.
The silver light on Lin Zhongtian's body gathered on its own and condensed into a space barrier to block it.
The yellow high-energy rays hit the barrier and then collapsed and dissipated as expected.
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and looked in surprise at the small spaceship that dared to attack him.
In the spaceship, the demon-like creature with two red fly eyes let out a hissing sound, and then while controlling the spaceship to crash into Lin Zhongtian, it pressed the launch button again, shooting out several yellow high-energy rays.
“Puff—”
Several yellow high-energy rays hit the space barrier, and then collapsed and dissipated again.
"It's not over yet, is it?!"
Lin Zhongtian raised his hand with a frown on his face, pointed it at the spaceship from a distance, and clenched his five fingers.
"boom!!"
In an instant, the space shrank and collapsed, and the sturdy alien spaceship was instantly squeezed into a ball of scrap metal, falling to the ground amid flames and roars.
After dealing with this annoying cannon fodder soldier, the space around Lin Zhongtian distorted, and his figure escaped into the mirror dimension, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Taking advantage of the mirror space, Lin Zhongtian landed on the ground, walked on the noisy and chaotic battlefield, and watched with relish this ancient war that was quite famous in later generations from an unprecedented first-person perspective.
In the center of the battlefield, the ancient Green Lantern, who was emitting green light and had a strange and ferocious appearance, leaped up. The lantern ring in his hand emitted green light and emitted a spiral green ray, which blasted towards Darkseid who was in close combat with Ares.
The green light rushed over in an instant, and Darkseid was caught off guard, and was staggered by the impact of the green light.
Seeing this, the God of War Ares shouted loudly, raised the giant axe in his hand high, and chopped it down at Darkseid.
"boom!"
The terrifying force exploded instantly, shaking the surrounding air.
The violent shock wave turned into a strong wind, sweeping away the humans on the ground and the demons in the sky.
Darkseid gritted his teeth and used the long pole of the weapon in his hand to block the giant axe. The ground beneath his feet collapsed due to the huge force, and Darkseid's body fell into it.
The veins on Ares' forehead were exposed. He gathered all his strength, gritted his teeth and pressed the giant axe down inch by inch.
The sharp axe blade glowed red with the power of war, and slowly and firmly sank into the long shaft of the weapon.
Seeing that the weapon in his hand was about to be cut off by the giant axe, Darkseid suddenly turned his body, squeezed the soil and forced himself to turn around, avoiding the giant axe of the god of war Ares and letting it fall to the ground.
"boom!"
The axe blade sank into the ground like a hot knife through butter, and the power contained in it made the earth tremble.
Darkseid raised his foot and kicked Ares in the chest, causing him to fly backwards like a cannonball, flying dozens of meters away, knocking down countless humans and Atlantean coalition soldiers along the way.
Then, Darkseid leaped forward, crushed the ground, and came to Green Lantern with a whistling airflow.
Looking at the angry Darkseid in front of him, Green Lantern was horrified and quickly withdrew, while releasing green light to form a barrier.
But Darkseid's strength and speed are far greater than he imagined.
Before the green light appeared, he swung his weapon to cut off the Green Lantern's arm, and then pierced the weapon in his hand into his chest, pushing the Green Lantern's body to the ground with a bang.
"boom!"
The earth shook, and Darkseid and Green Lantern crashed into a deep pit like meteorites.
The violent shock wave instantly swept in all directions, blowing away the broken limbs and arms holding the green lantern ring on the ground.
In mid-air, the green lantern ring shone brightly, and suddenly it left the finger, floated up, and shot towards the sky.
At this moment, the space on the path of the lantern ring suddenly distorted, and a large hand emitting silver light suddenly stretched out and grabbed the green lantern ring that was shooting towards the sky.
Then, regardless of the lamp ring's struggle and trembling, he brought it into the mirror space.
“Puff——”
Blood splattered in the deep pit. Darkseid drew out his weapon expressionlessly, jumped out of the pit and continued to fight.
Only the unknown Green Lantern was left lying at the bottom of the pit, eyes wide open, with a look of unwillingness as he lost his life.
"The invincible Green Lantern has fallen again..."
In the mirror space, Lin Zhongtian squatted beside Green Lantern and sighed.
The green lantern ring in his palm kept vibrating, as if trying to escape from his control.
“Stop it!” Lin Zhongtian glanced at the green lantern ring in his hand, “Is it better to follow me than to follow him?”
As the words fell, the green lantern ring paused for a moment, and then began to vibrate wildly with a greater amplitude.
Lin Zhongtian was frowning. He controlled the space to imprison him, and then looked at the Green Lantern in the real world, wondering whether to save his life.
At this moment, a blue-white lightning as thick as a bucket came booming, splitting the space in an instant and hitting Lin Zhongtian who was hiding in it.
"...Zeus?"
"Can he find me?"
Lin Zhongtian had a look of surprise on his face, and at the same time he raised his hand, deflecting the space and refracting the blue-white lightning containing divine power to the side.
The blue-white lightning struck the edge of the deep pit, and then instantly disintegrated into countless jumping arcs.
The electric arc spread rapidly, covering the entire pit in an instant, and completely sending the Green Lantern, who was only breathing his last breath at the bottom of the pit, to death.
Seeing such a funny scene, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but frown.
He understood that it was not that Zeus intended to betray his teammates, but that the Green Lantern in front of him was destined to die in this ancient war.
Even without Zeus's thunderbolt, there would be other unexpected circumstances that would take his life. This is the so-called power of time correction...
