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

Dancing in the cracks, reversing the cracks in time and space

The pulsation of the universe swept over her like a violent storm. In that moment, Lin Chen's consciousness completely separated from her body, disappearing in an endless sea of ​​light. She felt an unprecedented sense of tearing apart, as if the entire world collapsed before her eyes, her soul intertwined with the essence of the entire universe. The surrounding stars, black holes, galaxies, dimensions, even the concept of space began to distort. Everything became extremely blurred, intricate, and even difficult to recognize.

"Is this the creation I chose?" Lin Chen felt no fear, only an indescribable excitement. She felt as if she were at the center of an abyss, all light and darkness swirling around her. Her consciousness suddenly ripped apart, and thousands of parallel universes began to shift before her eyes like slides, rapidly alternating. Each slide was filled with tremendous changes—galaxies collapsing, civilizations destroyed, gods falling, and the universe reborn.

Suddenly, Lin Chen felt a surge of force, as if a giant crack in the universe was slowly opening, dragging her consciousness in. This wasn't just a simple crack, but one that contained distortions of all possible timelines and dimensions—a "sequelae" she hadn't anticipated.

Her vision was suddenly engulfed in darkness, and then, like a torrent, countless chaotic elements, particles, and information poured into her mind—it felt as if her mind no longer belonged to her, but rather the convergence point of a vast, multiverse. The feeling was both strange and familiar, as if her existence was no longer bound by any rules, and she had become the direct controller of time and space.

"This is..." Lin Chen whispered to herself, her consciousness rapidly drifting to the other side of the rift. She beheld a distorted world. The sky was green, purple plants grew on the ground, and giant whale-like creatures floated in the air. Their bodies resonated with time, like active stars, constantly attracting surrounding matter and energy. The flow of time in that world was utterly chaotic. In some places, time froze, while in others, it flowed rapidly like a flood. With every second, the very fabric of the world shifted. Life, the stars, the laws of nature, even thought, rapidly evolved and degenerated.

Lin Chen felt a deep shock and immense interest. She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the chaotic world, but her hand penetrated everything in it, as if she no longer belonged to any world, but stood at the intersection of all worlds.

"You finally found me." A low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded, breaking Lin Chen's meditation.

Lin Chen turned suddenly and saw a being radiating a cold aura. His eyes gleamed with the light of the depths of the universe, a light interwoven with the power of both destruction and creation. This being, brimming with ancient majesty, seemed to have stepped out of ancient time and space, possessing endless secrets.

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked, his eyes as sharp as a knife, full of vigilance and curiosity.

"I am the embodiment of the Rift," the being's voice whispered, yet roared like thunder. "I dominate the interweaving and chaos of all dimensions. I am the variable you haven't calculated, and the hidden order of the universe."

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, countless possibilities popping up in his mind: "The incarnation of the crack? Are you talking about...I caused all this?"

"Exactly." The being's smile carried an unfathomable meaning. "You thought you created a new universe, but in reality, you opened a rift leading to countless possibilities. You are the 'creator' of this rift, but you are also its 'destroyer'."

Lin Chen's heart was shaken. She had always believed that she was the master of the universe, that the power of creation and destruction was in her own hands, but now she realized that she was merely part of a deeper force within the universe. And this force was clearly far beyond her control.

"Then how can I take this back?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"Take it back?" The incarnation of the rift laughed softly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "You know, this rift is beyond your reach. It's not just your creation, it's the confluence of countless parallel universes. If you want to 'take it back', aren't you courting death?"

Lin Chen didn't respond. She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. Her mind raced, rapidly analyzing the situation. She had believed she controlled the fate of the entire universe, but the reality was that her choices had already triggered unforeseen consequences, a force far beyond her understanding and control.

However, at this moment, the incarnation of the crack suddenly pointed forward. A dazzling light burst out before Lin Chen's eyes, and then, an indescribable force shot out from the light, instantly tearing through the entire space and destroying the endless void around it.

Lin Chen felt her body being devoured by that power, and her soul, along with it, gradually dissipated within it. Her consciousness seemed to be torn apart, split into countless fragments, and fell into an endless vortex of time and space.

In this endless vortex, she saw countless versions of herself, like images projected from different dimensions. Each one lived in a different world, experiencing a different fate. Some Lin Chen became goddesses of the universe, dominating everything; some Lin Chen fell into demons, destroying the world; and some Lin Chen chose to give up and turned into nothingness.

She suddenly understood that none of this was her choice, but rather a reaction to the chaotic forces within the rift. She wasn't creating the universe, but rather engaging in an unstoppable gamble with her own destiny. And this gamble had begun long before she realized her own power.

Lin Chen's heart was filled with complex emotions. She began to doubt whether she was qualified to change the world, and whether she could truly withstand the vastness and infinity of this universe. But at this moment, a new realization suddenly surged into her heart.

"Perhaps this is fate," she said to herself. "No matter what I choose, the cycle of the universe will never stop."

In this chaotic rift, Lin Chen finally made a bold decision - she would no longer escape, nor would she try to control everything. She would dance with the power within the rift, becoming part of this endless cycle of creation and destruction, sublimation and degeneration, everything was up to her choice.

At this moment, her consciousness completely transcended all boundaries, merged into the eternal vortex of the universe, and became a brand new existence with endless possibilities.
