The Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter and Her Heartless Lover!

The Origin of Time and the Subversion of Void

Shen Yiyao's consciousness was once again forcibly drawn into an indescribable realm. The scene before her was like an endless void, surrounded by a nebula of countless points of light. These points seemed to be the seeds of the universe, constantly spinning, expanding, merging, and splitting, as if the birth and destruction of the universe were alternately staged in this void.

"This is..." Shen Yiyao looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with indescribable shock, "This is not any dimension, nor does it belong to any space, this is-"

"The origin of time." That familiar and profound voice sounded again, as if coming from the abyss of the universe. "What you are seeing now is the intersection of all timelines, the source of fate and cause and effect."

Shen Yiyao suddenly realized that she was now in a place beyond all space and dimensions, even beyond time itself. She stood in a blank spot where no matter or laws existed. The light and energy fluctuations before her made her feel like she was standing at the birthplace of the universe, or rather, the place where it would collapse.

"The origin of time?" Shen Yiyao murmured to herself, a thoughtful look on her face. "So, could this be—"

"Yes." The voice sounded again, cold and emotionless. "This is the ultimate place you chose, the starting point and end point of all destinies. Here, you cannot escape, nor can you create. Everything you see is but an illusion created by the interweaving of you and countless threads of fate."

Shen Yiyao suddenly understood—she wasn't changing fate, nor was she destroying it. All she had done was trigger an endless tearing of time and space. All worlds, all universes, all destinies, were shattered by her choices, ultimately converging at this point, forming the present void.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her mind. She knew that this was a place of ultimate truth, from which she could not escape no matter what. And, most shockingly, all of this happened because of her choice.

"So," Shen Yiyao's eyes flashed with a calm light, "Is all this actually a trap I set for myself?"

The god's voice held a mocking calm. "Yes, you've never truly understood the decisions you've made. You thought you could create a new universe, but in reality, you've already been trapped in an endless cycle. Every time you try to break through, you'll be greeted by a new world, new choices, and you'll never be able to escape this cycle."

"So, this is what's called 'fate'." Shen Yiyao sneered, "It's nothing more than endless choices and a complex web of cause and effect, ultimately converging into a chaos from which no one can escape."

Her consciousness trembled violently once more, and countless timelines exploded instantly, like a rift in the sky, emitting a dazzling light. Shen Yiyao completely merged her consciousness with these timelines, sensing the existence of every fateful trajectory. Every thought she had altered a piece of history; every breath she took tore apart a future. Her consciousness gradually transcended all limitations, becoming immensely powerful.

However, just when she thought she had it all under control, a violent wave swept in again. The light in space began to distort and collapse, and the timeline scattered like shattered glass, forming a huge vortex that drew her consciousness into it.

"This is..." Shen Yiyao's consciousness drifted in the void, feeling an incomparable sense of oppression. This power not only came from outside, but also surged deep within her heart. It seemed like some kind of irresistible truth, deeply binding her.

Suddenly, a tremendous voice rang out in her ears. It came from the endless abyss, like the first sound of the universe: "You have touched the root of the universe and touched an unbearable truth. You thought you were creating a new universe, but in fact you only reset the cycle of time. Every choice you make will be repeated in endless time and space. Your fate can never be changed."

Shen Yiyao opened her eyes abruptly, as if she suddenly understood something. Her heartbeat quickened, and her consciousness vibrated violently, as if struck by lightning. She suddenly understood that everything she had experienced was beyond her control. She was merely repeating a fate in an endless cycle, and the final outcome was always the same.

"You think you are the master of your fate, but in reality, you are just a pawn in fate, forever bound in an eternal cycle." The voice sounded again, "All the choices you make, all the changes you make, will eventually return to the starting point. You cannot transcend this."

Shen Yiyao's body trembled slightly, but her eyes became more and more determined: "If fate is destined to be unbreakable, then I will make this fate completely crazy! I will not stop, I will push all this into the infinite abyss!"

Before she finished speaking, her consciousness suddenly erupted with boundless brilliance. All timelines and all paths of fate completely collapsed at this moment, forming an even vaster void. Shen Yiyao's consciousness once again transcended all of this. She became the origin of endless space and time, the breaking point of fate. Every ounce of her power tore apart the past and the future, creating entirely new possibilities.

She knew very well that this crazy cycle would never end, but she also understood that only in this endless madness could she find her true freedom.
