On Paradise Island, little Diana hugged Lin Zhongtian's waist tightly, her pretty little face full of tears and reluctance.
Ever since Lin Zhongtian came to Paradise Island, she had gotten used to having her teacher around and had never thought that one day they would have to part ways.
Lin Zhongtian stroked the black hair of the girl in his arms, chuckled and said, "Don't be sad. Like I said before, the word reunion is so precious because of separation..."
Little Diana interrupted with tears in her voice: "But I don't want to meet you again, I just want to stay with you forever!"
Lin Zhongtian looked helpless and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Hippolyta, the Amazon queen in front of him.
Hippolyta had a complicated expression, sighed, and called softly, "Diana!"
But at this time, the usually obedient little Diana became rebellious and refused to let go of her teacher's arms no matter what.
Lin Zhongtian smiled helplessly, feeling the violent fluctuations of time. He could only stroke the top of little Diana's head and said softly, "See you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian's body twisted and turned into silver light and disappeared in front of everyone.
Little Diana's hands were empty and she couldn't help crying loudly, then she turned around and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Hippolyta raised her hand and gently patted little Diana's back. At the same time, she looked at the place where Lin Zhongtian disappeared and whispered, "See you in the future, Your Majesty Lin Zhongtian..."
…
…
In the gap of void, Lin Zhongtian's figure appeared again.
Recalling the sad look of little Diana, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh, and then quickly anchored the next important time node, mobilizing the power of time to step into it.
The moment he stepped in, a ripple appeared in the long river of time, causing the time point he traveled through to move back a little bit.
Compared with the entire river of time, this tiny fluctuation was insignificant, and even Lin Zhongtian did not notice it.
…
In an instant, the surrounding scene changed drastically.
The blue sky, the clear sea, and the familiar Paradise Island all appeared in Lin Zhongtian's eyes again.
Just like the last time traveler, this time he also appeared next to the mother box.
But unlike last time, there were no golden-armored female warriors patrolling and guarding near the tower. It seemed that the Mother Box and the tower were no longer the things that needed to be guarded and watched the most on Paradise Island.
But how is this possible?
Lin Zhongtian frowned, guessing that something important must have happened on the island, causing Hippolyta to be redeployed.
Without hesitation, Lin Zhongtian spread his consciousness to cover the entire island, and then instantly discovered a large number of familiar auras at the other end of Paradise Island.
Lin Zhongtian cut through space, stepped into the silver crack, and followed the familiar breath to the other end of Paradise Island.
At this time, there was an Amazon altar with blazing flames standing on the beach.
Golden coffins were neatly placed on the altar, and more than a dozen neatly-dressed female warriors were lying on them with peaceful expressions, two gold coins placed on each of their eyelids, holding the swords that were most dear to them in their hands, quietly waiting to be devoured by the flames.
Around the altar, all the Amazon warriors put on their most solemn golden armor, held their swords upside down on the ground, and looked solemnly at the altar and the fire in front of them.
There is no doubt that this was a very grand funeral.
Lin Zhongtian frowned tightly, his eyes swept across the faces of the dozen or so corpses, and then he instantly recognized their identities.
Especially the Amazon warrior lying in the center.
It was Antiope, the sister of Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons and the leader of the army of Paradise Island.
...Even she died?
Lin Zhongtian frowned, searched his memory, and quickly found the cause of Antiope's death.
If he remembered correctly, Antiope was shot to death by German soldiers who accidentally landed on the island in the plot of "Wonder Woman".
But the problem is that the timeline he is entering now should not be after Diana left Paradise Island, but before the male protagonist Steve Trevor was accidentally stranded on Paradise Island!
...Is it the butterfly effect caused by him?
Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and quickly descended above the altar.
The Amazon female warriors who were mourning their dead compatriots caught sight of Lin Zhongtian's figure and immediately raised their heads and glared at him.
But before they could utter a word of anger, that familiar face awakened their long-forgotten memories.
Hippolyta opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and couldn't help showing surprise as she looked at Lin Zhongtian standing in front of her.
"Your Majesty, you are back?!"
“…”
Lin Zhongtian nodded slightly, and then landed in front of Hippolyta.
"How long have I been gone?"
"It's been more than two thousand years!"
Hippolyta said with an excited look on her face.
Has it been more than 2,000 years?
Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart, and at the same time, his feeling about the power of time became more profound.
To him, he had only been away from this world for less than a moment, but to Hippolyta and others in the current timeline, he had disappeared for more than two thousand years!
Lin Zhongtian turned his head to look at the corpse and coffin on the altar and asked softly:
"Tell me, what happened on Paradise Island?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hippolyta's face darkened, and she recounted in a gloomy tone what had happened more than a week ago.
At that time, the Amazon warriors were training on the beach as usual. Suddenly, an airplane accidentally broke into the magic protective shield outside Paradise Island and crashed on the shallows next to the beach.
Out of vigilance, Antiope, who was training warriors at the time, immediately led people over and captured the human man who survived the disaster.
But before they could interrogate the human man, the two steel ships chasing the plane entered the shield and started fighting with Antiope and the Amazon warriors on the beach.
At that time, Diana was practicing alone at the other end of Paradise Island because of her great power.
Hearing the sound of artillery fire in the distance, Diana immediately became alert and rushed to the battle scene as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, when the sound of artillery fire rang out, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Antiope and the Amazons underestimated the power of firearms and did not notice the threat posed by the ships' artillery.
When Diana arrived at the scene, Antiope and others had already died from German guns and ship fire.
More than a dozen of her closest compatriots died at the hands of outsiders. Diana became furious and immediately swung the giant sword in her hand, killing all the German soldiers who landed on the island.
Afterwards, Diana, who was blood-thirsty, turned her gaze towards the steel ships on the sea. At the same time, a rich amber-gold light burst out from her body, deflecting all the incoming bullets and even shells.
The next second, a rich golden light condensed into two golden whips as thick as buckets, which suddenly fell down in front of the horrified eyes of the soldiers on the deck.
"boom!"
The two steel ships were like cardboard toy models, split into two pieces by a golden whip as thick as a bucket.
But this is not the end yet. Diana seemed unsatisfied, so she continued to swing the golden whip in her hand, breaking the wreckage of the two steel ships into pieces.
It was not until the sea surface was dyed red with blood and all that could be seen were corpses and wreckage of ships that Diana finally retracted the golden light on her body.
Seeing this scene, everyone, including the human men and the Amazon warriors, were stunned.
The former was naturally shocked that such powerful superhumans existed in the world.
The latter didn't expect that Diana, at full power, would have such powerful strength.
However, the shock of the crowd did not last long.
Because soon, the Amazon army led by Hippolyta arrived at the scene.
They took away the dead and injured sisters, and put the human man into prison. They interrogated him with the Lasso of Truth, and then learned from him that a large-scale war affecting the entire world was going on in the human world outside Paradise Island.
That is the First World War in history...
Of course, the above are all descriptions translated by Lin Zhongtian himself.
According to Hippolyta's description, airplanes were steel mounts that did not need to flap their wings, firearms were strangely shaped crossbows, and she could only barely understand steel ships.
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "What about Diana?"
"Why didn't she attend Antiope's funeral?"
Hippolyta sighed and said, "Diana was protected too well by us. After hearing the world war mentioned by that human man, she firmly believed that Ares must have deliberately provoked the war."
"So that night, she put on the armor that Your Majesty had made for her, stole the Lasso of Truth and the Sword of Vulcan from the tower, as well as the 'Sword of the God Slayer' that I had used to deceive her. Then, she took advantage of the night to rescue the human man and left Paradise Island with him."
"Although I discovered her intention, her power is too strong. No one on Paradise Island can be her opponent. As long as she wants to do something, even I can't stop her. I can only watch her leave on the boat..."
Having said that, Hippolyta looked at Lin Zhongtian with a slightly resentful look.
Lin Zhongtian twitched his lips, turned his head to look at the body on the altar, and changed the subject: "Since it happened a week ago, why is the funeral being held now?"
Hippolyta looked sad when she heard Lin Zhongtian's words.
"Those steel ships hold the power of fire. When I arrived, the bodies of the sisters who died in the battle were already mutilated. I could only soak their broken bodies in the spring water, wait for them to heal, and then hold a funeral..."
"I see."
Lin Zhongtian nodded in understanding.
The spring water mentioned by Hippolyta is a magical spring on Paradise Island, which can stimulate the body to heal itself quickly, even on corpses.
"So, their bodies are all intact?"
"……Yes."
“Very good!” Lin Zhongtian nodded upon hearing this, and then raised his right hand under Hippolyta’s puzzled gaze, chuckled and said, “Then let me try to see if I can revive them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver light appeared above Lin Zhongtian's palm.
A pitch-black cube emerged from it, suspended in the air, rising and falling continuously.
Seeing this, Hippolyta was slightly startled, and couldn't help but asked in amazement: "Is this... the Mother Box?"
"Your Majesty, you want to use the power of the Mother Box?!"
