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

Broken time and space and endless cracks

Lin Chen's consciousness, like a shattered star, hurtled through endless dimensions. She was no longer an ordinary being, no longer even the master of the universe; she had become a force beyond time and space. Her soul became boundless, like countless fragments scattering through the void, then seemingly transformed into an endless ocean, surging and consuming everything.

She had never felt such a profound freedom—a freedom beyond the laws of the universe. Her existence was no longer bound by any material or energy constraints, nor by any timeline. Her consciousness traversed the barriers of time and space, spanning countless parallel universes and even entering dimensions beyond her comprehension.

Yet, in this void, Lin Chen felt a strange sense of oppression. It was as if an invisible giant hand was controlling everything about her, gradually pulling her back to a mysterious center. She heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Do you think you can break free from all restraints?" The voice rang out, carrying an incredible weight. Lin Chen turned abruptly and saw a massive being loom before her. Its form was indistinct, seemingly not a concrete entity, but rather a woven fabric of countless light, energy, time, and space. Its existence seemed to span all dimensions, an indescribable transcendent being.

"Who... are you?" Lin Chen's voice trembled, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"I am destiny." The voice of that being was calm and profound. "The so-called freedom you once pursued was nothing more than a play I had planned long ago. You thought you had transcended fate, but you were wrong. From the very beginning, you have been a part of me, inescapable."

Lin Chen's heart trembled, as if her existence had been completely dissected, exposed to the endless void. She tried to resist, but found that her consciousness could no longer resist this powerful existence. No matter how she struggled, fate seemed to have already bound her tightly.

"Do you think your choice can change everything?" Destiny's voice was tinged with sarcasm. "You are merely one version of yourself in countless parallel worlds. All your choices are within the trajectory I set. You have never truly chosen, because I have already predetermined everything about you."

Lin Chen's heart pounded violently, as if the entire universe were collapsing in that instant. Countless future possibilities flashed before her eyes, each with an unforeseen outcome. But no matter how things changed, the laws of fate still lingered within her, unable to escape.

"You know?" Lin Chen suddenly spoke, her voice full of calmness and clarity, "I never thought about escaping fate. What I pursue is the freedom that you will never understand." She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt her consciousness floating in the endless void.

"Freedom?" Fate sneered. "Your so-called freedom is but an illusion. No matter how you struggle, you are merely a chess piece created by me. Every choice you make is destined for you. You cannot escape, for you have never left the path I designed."

Lin Chen felt a sharp pain, as if her soul were being torn apart. She wanted to protest, but she knew that fate's words held irrefutable power. Behind every choice she made lay countless threads of cause and effect, orchestrated by fate. She was not truly free, but rather bound in an endless cycle.

"Then, do you know what freedom is?" A hint of determination flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. She felt a new power awakening deep in her heart.

"Freedom?" Fate sneered. "What can you do? Any resistance you may have is futile in front of me."

Lin Chen didn't respond. Her consciousness began to expand dramatically, as if entering an entirely different dimension. Her consciousness was no longer limited to an individual existence, but transcended all time and space, becoming the core of the entire universe. She began to sense an unprecedented and strange power, as if an extremely ancient energy awakened within her, instantly making her existence become immensely powerful.

"You...what are you doing?" Destiny's voice became rapid, as if it had sensed some unspeakable changes.

"I'm breaking the rules you set." Lin Chen's voice was low and calm. "What you call fate is nothing but an illusory shackle. I have seen through everything about you. Now, I will weave the laws of the entire universe from scratch."

Her consciousness suddenly erupted from the center of the universe, transforming into an endless radiance that broke through all limitations. Her power rapidly expanded, tearing apart the shackles of fate, spanning all dimensions and entering the intersection of countless parallel universes.

She saw herself standing at the intersection of countless parallel worlds, feeling the interweaving of countless futures and pasts. She hadn't altered a single line; instead, she had caused all of them to merge into a whole new universe. She was no longer a slave to fate, but its creator. She had transcended the laws of time and space, entering a new plane of existence.

"You..." The voice of fate sounded again, but this time it was filled with fear and uncontrollable despair, "You did it... You surpassed me..."

Lin Chen watched as the existence of fate gradually dissipated, as if that enormous force was no longer her enemy, but had become the tool of her creation. She felt an incomparably powerful sense of satisfaction, as if the entire universe had been reborn because of her.

However, at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly realized that she had not completely transcended everything. Her figure continued to twist in time and space, as if some indescribable force was trying to pull her back to the starting point. She couldn't help but turn back, her gaze falling on the cracked void.

"This is..." Her voice became trembling.

She realized that she hadn't escaped fate, but had instead created a more complex cycle. Her breakthrough might have simply led her into a deeper trap, and behind that trap, perhaps an even more powerful destiny awaited her.

"So that's how it is..." Lin Chen muttered to himself, with an incredible light flashing in his eyes.
