“Bip, Bip!”The system warning in Ethan's head keeps incessantly echoing. But at that moment, Ethan could no longer hear it. He only felt his entire body stretched and segmented into various images, falling into countless timelines, rendering his mentality exceedingly chaotic."Who are you? Why are you trying to stop me?"A man with auburn hair, holding in his arms a four-year-old child in a coma, gazed with heightened vigilance toward the group of black-clad, masked individuals standing opposite him.If Ethan had been present, he would have recognized that the auburn-haired man was from the Lunar Clan. And the child in his arms was his daughter, who had disappeared not long ago.However, at this time, the people confronting the auburn-haired man seemed to pay no mind to his words. Their eyes had been fixed on the child in his arms since their arrival."Leader, the child is safe, just temporarily unconscious!"A deep voice issued from one of the masked figures facing him. Because they

While the young woman's figure was still at quite a distance, her voice echoed throughout the forest. At the same time, the group attacking the white tiger momentarily hesitated.Seizing this opportunity, the white tiger managed to escape the encirclement. At this sudden turn of events, the vividly dressed man cried out in frustration."Fools, how could you let it escape? Quickly, chase it down for me!"Not wanting to let the white tiger reach the young woman's location, the vibrantly dressed man grew even more furious, ordering his subordinates to pursue it fiercely. However, having just escaped the encirclement, the white tiger seemed to have regained its spirit, and its aura grew considerably stronger.At the same time, the young woman had also reached its side, forcing the opposing group to halt their pursuit, maintaining a fair distance."Stephen, what are you trying to do? Why do you persistently try to kill my mount?"The young woman's gaze rested on the bizarrely dressed man,

As expected, upon hearing his question, Lucia's face turned unsightly. However, her reaction was moderate. She only appeared slightly angered, then calmly replied."Yes, I will comply with any condition, no matter what it is. But, you must ensure the white tiger's safety."Upon hearing the positive response from Lucia, an odd thought surfaced in Ethan's heart momentarily. However, his gaze soon shifted back to Lucia's side. Because at this moment, Stephen, who had initially departed with his group, unexpectedly returned, sitting beside her."My original mission was solely to capture that white tiger. However, prior orders insisted that I deliver you to them secretly. This potion is incredibly potent. Despite the passage of much time, you're still incapable of movement. This task has become a divine opportunity for me, Stephen. Ha, ha, ha!"As he laughed, Stephen was the picture of satisfaction. His once serious countenance now distorted into an eerie smirk. It was evident that the min

"Stephen, you've frightened me quite a bit earlier. Now, I will show you what it means to cross me!"Vera's fingers tightened around Stephen's throat as he spoke, seemingly intent on crushing it."Wait...wait!"Standing at death's door, Stephen had no choice but to yell out, hoping Vera would cease his actions.Indeed, his outcry had some effect. Although Vera's grip remained firm, his actions slightly paused, no longer applying further pressure."So, are you begging for mercy now?""No...that's not it!""Then why ask me to stop?"Hearing Stephen's response, Vera's expression turned impatient and annoyed. Once more, his grip tightened, causing Stephen's neck to emit a series of cracking sounds.In the end, panic filled Stephen's heart. Before Vera could crush his throat, he urgently yelled out once more."Stop...stop, I...I have a secret...I want...to trade...with you..."Even now, Vera's hand still held him firmly. However, Stephen could sense the pressure lessening significantly."S

Upon seeing the woman's face, Ethan couldn't help but recoil in terror, swiftly retreating backward, for he recognized this figure all too well. Wasn't this the woman who emerged from the stone coffin? Yet, he had evaded her back then. Why had she appeared here now? A whirlwind of thoughts swirled in his mind, but before he could voice any questions, the space before him shattered abruptly. Then, he heard the woman's slightly angered cry echo. "Ethan, Ethan! Wake up, quickly!" His body jolted violently. Ethan slowly opened his eyes. He was no longer in the temporal chaos. Instead, he found himself lying on a large wooden bed, blanketed by a thick quilt. Glancing at the scenery outside, Ethan saw snowflakes gently falling. For someone born in the tropics, this sight was a complete novelty. However, the previous voice again rang out before Ethan could fully comprehend his situation. "Ethan, Ethan! Have you awakened?" It was only now that Ethan's eyes could discern the figure befo
