Chapter 435 The Honor of the Tiger Clan
The Time Hunter coldly withdrew his weapon: "Foolish natives, is it worth dying for a lawbreaker?"
“It’s worth it.” Silver Tiger spat out a mouthful of blood, still standing in front of Yueqing. “She is my partner.”
Just then, the spacetime rift suddenly expanded violently.
Through the crack, everyone saw a despairing sight.
A world that is being destroyed.
Purple flames burned in the sky, and the earth was shattered.
Countless beings struggled and howled in the temporal storm, their bodies twisted and torn apart, emitting desperate screams. The entire world was like a ripped canvas, slowly disappearing.
"What is this?" Hu Feng stared in shock at the dying world.
The Time Hunter said expressionlessly, "Dimension 3847 completely collapsed three months ago. The reason was that the existence of a time traveler broke the balance of the world and triggered a chain reaction."
He pointed to Yueqing: "This is the harm caused by her existence. Every time traveler is a moving disaster, infecting the entire world system like a virus."
Yueqing's heart clenched as she watched the creatures dying in agony. She thought of Silver Tiger, her two children, and everyone in the Tiger Clan. Could her very existence truly bring them such a fate?
"wrong!"
An aged but authoritative voice came from the crack.
Immediately afterwards, an elderly man in a white coat emerged from the spatial turbulence.
Yueqing's eyes widened: "Professor Li?"
That was her mentor in her previous life, Professor Li from the emergency department.
But at this moment, he was radiating a faint golden light, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary person.
"Xiao Le, it's great to finally see you." Professor Li smiled kindly. "You did a great job."
A wary glint flashed in the Time Hunter's eyes: "Traitor to the Time and Space Committee, what are you doing here?"
"Traitor?" Professor Li sneered. "I just don't want to see you continue to slaughter innocent people."
He turned to Yueqing, his eyes gentle: "Child, do you know why you were transported to this world?"
"Not an accident?" A sense of foreboding welled up in Yueqing's heart.
“Of course not.” Professor Li shook his head. “You are the chosen savior. The entire world system is collapsing and needs someone with special abilities to repair it.”
"What special ability?"
“Balance.” Professor Li pointed to the mark on her chest. “You are born with the power of balance, coupled with a doctor’s heart for saving lives, and the approval of the goddess of wisdom. These conditions are indispensable.”
The Time Hunter angrily interrupted, "Nonsense! How many innocent lives have you lunatics killed in your experiments?"
"An experiment?" Yueqing looked at the two of them, puzzled.
Professor Li sighed: "The world system is indeed collapsing, but not because of the existence of time travelers, but because of the overexploitation by certain forces. In order to protect its vested interests, the Time and Space Committee chose to conceal the truth and shift the blame to the time travelers."
"Those destroyed worlds."
"It's a deliberate illusion they created," Professor Li said angrily. "To prove the dangers of time travelers, they didn't hesitate to destroy the entire plane."
The Time Hunter sneered: "Where's the evidence? Just your words?"
Professor Li raised his hand, and a beam of light shot into Yueqing's mind. Instantly, countless images flooded into her consciousness.
She saw the true face of the Time and Space Council, those high and mighty beings who were willing to sacrifice countless worlds in order to maintain their power.
She realized the true reason she had traveled through time: to stop this catastrophe.
She also saw more time travelers, all of whom were trying to save lives in their respective worlds.
"I see." Yueqing slowly opened her eyes, the confusion in them disappearing and replaced by determination.
But then she found herself in a new dilemma. If she accepted this mission, she would have to leave this world, leave Silver Tiger and the children. If she refused, the entire world system might collapse.
“You’re hesitating.” The Time Hunter noticed her wavering. “See? This is their tactic, using their so-called sense of mission to blackmail you.”
"Shut up!" Despite his serious injuries, Silver Tiger glared at the Time Hunter. "No matter what the mission is, I support Yueqing's choice."
Tiger Peak also stepped forward: "The Tiger Clan never forces its members to do things they don't want to do."
“Yes!” Tiger Roar nodded vigorously. “Even if you really want to save the world, we won’t stop you.”
The saber-toothed tiger shook its enormous head: "Little squirrel, you saved my life. Now it's my turn to protect you."
Looking at these people who genuinely cared about her, Yueqing felt a mix of emotions. She recalled her naivety when she first met Yinhu, the way her two children looked when they were first born, and the warm times she spent with the Tiger Clan.
"I..." she was about to speak when Silver Tiger struggled to his feet and took her hand.
"Whatever you choose, I will support you." His voice was weak, but unusually firm. "If you go to save the world, I will wait for you to come back. If you choose to stay, I will face everything with you."
Looking at the deep affection in Yin Hu's eyes, and then at the concerned faces around her, Yue Qing's answer gradually became clear.
But at that moment, the spacetime rift trembled once more, revealing more worlds. Some worlds were burning, others were shattered, and countless beings struggled in despair.
"Time is running out," Professor Li urged. "We must make a choice immediately."
The Time Hunter gripped his weapon tightly: "If you refuse to cooperate, I will have no choice but to carry out the mission."
Yueqing gave Yinhu a deep look.
Yueqing gripped Yinhu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm.
Even though she was seriously injured, he stood firmly by her side, and this affection warmed her heart.
“Silver Tiger…” she called softly.
"Don't speak."
Although Yin Hu's face was pale, his eyes remained gentle. "Whatever you choose, I will support you. This is my promise."
Hu Feng snapped out of his shock and strode up to Yue Qing: "Yue Qing, the Tiger Clan never abandons its companions. If you are to undertake any mission, we will do it with you."
"right!"
Tiger Roar nodded vigorously, "At worst, our tiger clan will follow you to save the world!"
Hu Yan stepped forward as well: "The honor of the Tiger Clan does not allow us to let our companions face danger alone."
The saber-toothed tiger shook its massive head and let out a deep roar in agreement.
Looking at these sincere faces, Yueqing felt a lump in her throat. She remembered the fear and helplessness she felt when she first came into this world, the nervousness she felt when Yinhu first saved her, and the way her two children looked when they were first born…
This is her home now.
“I thought of my children.” Yueqing’s voice trembled slightly. “My daughter has just learned to walk, and my son is still so small… I can’t abandon them.”
