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

Time and space reversal, a joke of fate

Like a meteor, Shen Yiyao's body pierced through all barriers of space and time, traversing one ripped dimension after another. The cosmic scene before her constantly crumbled and regenerated, as if the very rules of the world were gradually disintegrating, and the meaning of time and space began to blur. Her consciousness grew increasingly chaotic, as if her perceptions were consumed by countless ripped fragments. Each leap felt like her soul being torn apart, then rapidly mended.

"Where is this?" Her voice almost lost its clarity, echoing in the endless void. However, what answered her was an even crazier scene.

At her feet was a massive floating rock, embedded in it was a massive clock, its hands spinning in reverse at an eerie speed, emitting a humming sound. The surrounding space was enveloped in a strange light, emitting countless shattered images, as if all the fragments of the world were intertwined at this moment.

"Time reversal?" Shen Yiyao's eyes widened, her consciousness instantly clearing. She remembered Zhao Yuanming once saying that fate was nothing more than an endless cycle. Breaking the cycle of fate meant entering a deeper mystery. So, was this the core of the mystery?

Her steps involuntarily moved toward the center of the clock, as if drawn by some irresistible force. With each step, the scene around her grew more insane: she saw herself in different times and spaces, talking to different people, even seeing herself in completely different worlds, making completely different choices. Each scene shattered her perception of reality, each moment furthering her understanding of fate.

However, just as she approached the clock, a roaring sound echoed, and the entire void shook violently. Cracks in spacetime tore open like a rainstorm, and clusters of scorching black holes emerged. The clock's hands spun faster, making a tingling sound. Suddenly, all vision disappeared, and Shen Yiyao was sucked into the black hole by a huge force.

Her body instantly vanished into the endless void, time and space frantically reorganizing and collapsing around her. She felt herself surrounded by countless lights and images, like fragments of countless worlds she had experienced before, each one replaying itself, but with a different ending each time.

Suddenly, a blinding light enveloped her, and a familiar figure emerged from within. She opened her eyes and found herself standing in a completely different world—a vast golden city, the sky shrouded in a purple halo, and countless strange creatures floated around.

"You're finally here, Shen Yiyao." A melodious voice came, echoing in this golden city.

Shen Yiyao subconsciously turned her head and saw a stranger she had never seen before. The man was wearing a strange robe, his face was blurry, but he had an indescribable majesty. "Who... are you?"

"I am the guardian of fate." The man smiled calmly, an unfathomable light flickering in his eyes. "You thought you had broken the cycle and escaped fate, but you have entered another, more complicated game."

Shen Yiyao's heart trembled. She suddenly realized that every breakthrough she made only led her deeper into the maze. No matter how hard she struggled, she seemed unable to escape this inescapable bondage.

"This time, you are not alone." The voice of the Watcher of Fate was as ethereal as the wind. "You are an important chess piece. Your choice will determine the fate of countless worlds."

"Pawn?" Shen Yiyao sneered, "I never believe I'm someone else's pawn. Every decision I make is my own choice!"

"Really?" The Watcher of Fate smiled, and a dazzling crystal ball suddenly appeared in her hand. The scene within the crystal ball was extremely strange: she saw all the choices she had made in the past, those details she had thought were insignificant, but now they had erupted with huge consequences. Every choice, it turned out, affected countless different worlds.

"These are nothing but illusions in your eyes." Shen Yiyao whispered, "Every choice I make is my own will. I don't need fate to arrange things for me."

The guardian of fate shook his head: "You are wrong, Shen Yiyao. Fate is never something you can fully control. The world you see is the 'result' of fate. Every choice you make is just one part of it. You think you are making a breakthrough, but you are just a pawn pushed forward by fate."

Shen Yiyao's face turned gloomy. She took a deep breath and suddenly said loudly: "If this is fate's arrangement, then I will destroy it with my own hands!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her body was suddenly restrained by an irresistible force, unable to move. The entire golden city shook violently, and the boundaries of time and space began to collapse, and light shone everywhere.

"What... do you want to do?" A flash of astonishment flashed across the eyes of the Watcher of Destiny, but he quickly regained his composure. "Do you think you can destroy the rules of fate?"

Shen Yiyao stopped answering and closed her eyes, focusing her whole being on the surging power. She knew that every breakthrough was a challenge to the rules of fate. She was no longer afraid, but instead felt a surge of power she had never felt before.

Her body began to glow, gradually merging into the surrounding light. Suddenly, the entire illusory world began to crumble, the golden city shattered into fragments, and the figure of the guardian of fate began to blur. Shen Yiyao's consciousness gradually disappeared in the endless radiance. With a determination that transcended all else, she once again broke free from the inescapable vicious cycle.

But this time, she was no longer running away, but actively facing the challenge of fate - fate was destined to be controlled by her.
