I traveled through time and space and became a drama queen in the harem!

The maze of fate and endless reversals

Lin Chen's mind was shaken, as if a tiny star had been swallowed by a black hole. The order of the entire universe was reversed before her eyes, and her consciousness began to collapse. She couldn't understand why the being before her was so calm. The rational words were like a sharp blade, piercing the depths of her confident soul.

"Understand it?" She sneered. "Are you mocking me? I've already transcended the very foundations of the universe, and you're telling me to 'understand' it? What tricks can your so-called destiny play on me?"

"Heh." The ethereal figure didn't seem angry, instead letting out a deep laugh. "The more you strive for a breakthrough, the more you feel constrained. You think you've transcended fate, but you're merely a link in the intertwining web of countless destinies. You think you can soar freely through the universe, but in reality, you've been trapped in a pre-planned maze."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and her heartbeat began to accelerate, as if a powerful force was vibrating in her body.

"What are you talking about? A maze? A maze of fate?" Her voice trembled, but she immediately forced herself to calm down. She was no longer the innocent girl she once was. No matter how great the challenge, she had the strength to face it. "What are you trying to tell me? What if I really am part of fate?"

"So what?" the figure whispered. "If you are merely part of fate, then all your choices are but repetitions of a preordained destiny. You have reached the end of your destiny, unaware that you are trapped in an infinite loop. You will repeat this forever, unable to escape."

A deep sense of fear rose in Lin Chen's heart. Her consciousness seemed to be pulled into a bottomless darkness, an all-consuming darkness that made her tremble all over. She knew that the fear did not come from herself, but from a force beyond her control, a being hidden deep within the universe, predestining her every move.

"Enough!" Lin Chen's fury finally erupted. Her eyes flashed with a monstrous light, and the entire universe seemed to tremble under her rage. "If I am part of fate, then I will completely destroy this fate! I will break this eternal cycle and completely tear apart this invisible web!"

Her consciousness began to explode, breaking through her previous limits. All her energy gathered into a beam of light that pierced the void, tearing through layers of space, and began to rush towards that existence.

"Do you think you can escape?" The figure's voice carried a seemingly innate coldness. "You can never transcend fate's designs. You believe you possess infinite power, but you are truly just a pawn in this game, and fate is always the master of the chessboard."

Lin Chen's eyes gleamed with an incredible light, as if these words had touched a chord deep within her soul. A series of fragmented images suddenly emerged in her mind: her past struggles against fate; how fate had repeatedly pushed her into despair; how she had sought new hope in each bout of despair, only to find that each hope was an endless trap.

"Destiny..." she murmured, as if finally understanding something. "So, you are the true master. The origin and end of everything are all set by you?"

"Do you finally understand now?" The ethereal figure's voice was tinged with a hint of sneer. "You are merely a reflection of fate, and you can never transcend it. Everything you possess, including your creativity, is part of fate."

"You..." Lin Chen's eyes suddenly became empty, "I...am I repeating all this?"

"Yes." The voice of the ethereal figure grew colder. "You are merely an echo of fate. You can never escape your destiny. And this fate has doomed you to never have 'freedom'."

Lin Chen's consciousness felt like it had been struck, and she felt as if she had fallen into an endless darkness. She wanted to fight back, to break free, but she knew she couldn't escape this abyss, couldn't escape the vortex of fate. Her heart was filled with unspeakable despair, as if everything was already predetermined and all her efforts would be meaningless.

However, at this moment, a brand new voice sounded in the depths of her consciousness, carrying a mysterious power and hope.

"Lin Chen, you are wrong."

This voice wasn't just a single syllable; it was like a profound vibration, piercing the abyss of Lin Chen's consciousness. Not only was the voice filled with power, it also carried an incomparable wisdom, as if transcending all time and space. Lin Chen snapped back to his senses, his consciousness beginning to return to clarity.

"Who... are you?" There was a hint of astonishment in Lin Chen's voice, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Me?" the voice said slowly, "I am the 'Creator' you don't know about, and the true source behind your chain of destiny."

Lin Chen's consciousness was like a ignited star, instantly bursting with dazzling light. "Source? What do you mean?"

An unknown force suddenly surged within Lin Chen's heart, as if she had found a new direction within the endless darkness and nothingness. She felt that she wasn't oppressed by fate, but rather part of a larger, more complex structure, a structure far beyond her comprehension.
