Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Amidst countless failures and despair, Xiao Yi stumbles upon an ancient and forbidden technique for time travel. This technique requires the practitioner's soul as a guide, drawing upon their own life force to forcibly tear a rift through time and space. This forbidden technique is extremely dangerous; even the slightest error will result in the shattering of one's soul, never to be reborn. However, his longing for Li Lingyuan burns like a raging fire within him, driving him to despair.

He was in a gloomy chamber, surrounded by shimmering runes and spiritual objects emanating powerful spiritual energy. Xiao Yi's expression was solemn, his hands slowly forming complex hand seals and muttering an obscure incantation. As he chanted, an eerie glow enveloped his body, within which countless vengeful spirits seemed to struggle and roar. Beads of sweat gradually formed on his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground, instantly dissolving into a wisp of white smoke.

His life force surged from his body like a tide, pouring into the formation before him, composed of spiritual objects and runes. The formation began to tremble violently, its light growing increasingly brighter, as if threatening to engulf the entire chamber. Xiao Yi's face turned as pale as paper, and his body began to stagger, but his eyes remained unwavering, fixed fixedly on the gradually distorting space at the center of the formation.

Suddenly, a faint crack appeared in space, and through it, Xiao Yi saw a modern scene. He saw Li Lingyuan standing on a bustling city street, surrounded by a bustling crowd and a constant stream of vehicles. Her face was still beautiful, but her eyes were filled with deep sorrow. Xiao Yi's heart was filled with ecstasy. He wanted to call out her name, rush over and hug her tightly, but his body was unable to move, and he could only watch helplessly.

"Ling Yuan..." Xiao Yi's voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, but his eyes were full of affection.

At that moment, the newly opened rift in space and time suddenly shook violently, and a powerful backlash surged towards Xiao Yi like a surging wave. This force instantly broke through his defenses, invading his body, as if to rip his soul from his body. Xiao Yi felt a sharp pain throughout his body, as if pierced by thousands of arrows. A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the runes and spiritual objects before him red.

His body was violently flung backward, slamming heavily into the wall of the chamber, instantly cracking it. Xiao Yi collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. His vitality was rapidly fading, and his consciousness gradually blurred. But the image of Li Lingyuan still surfaced in his mind; it was the only thing that kept him going.

On the other side of the palace, the eunuch who was in charge of taking care of Xiao Yi's daily life heard the loud noise coming from the secret room. He was startled and rushed to check. When he pushed open the door of the secret room and saw the messy scene and the dying Xiao Yi, he turned pale and his legs went weak.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?" The little eunuch cried and rushed to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes slightly, looked at the little eunuch, and said with difficulty: "I... am fine, don't make it known..." After that, he fell into coma again.

The young eunuch was extremely anxious. He knew that this matter was of great importance, but he did not dare to disobey Xiao Yi's order. He could only hold back his tears, carefully helped Xiao Yi to the bed, and then hurried to find the imperial physician.

When the imperial physician arrived, he was horrified by Xiao Yi's tragic condition. He hurriedly took Xiao Yi's pulse, but it was disordered, as if countless forces were conflicting within his body. A cold sweat broke out on the imperial physician's forehead. In his many years of medical practice, he had never seen such a bizarre condition.

"Your Majesty, you have been hit by the backlash of an extremely powerful force. This injury... I really can't do anything about it..." The imperial physician said, shaking his head helplessly.

Overhearing this, the young eunuch knelt on the ground in despair, crying, "Imperial Physician, you must save His Majesty! What will happen if anything happens to His Majesty?"

The imperial physician sighed and said, "I can only prescribe some medicine to stabilize your Majesty's injuries, but whether you can recover depends on your Majesty's luck."

In his coma, Xiao Yi's soul seemed to drift in a dark void. He saw every moment he had spent with Li Lingyuan, and those beautiful memories flickered like bright lights in the darkness. He knew he couldn't die like this. He had to find Li Lingyuan. His love story with her wasn't over yet.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yi slowly regained consciousness. He felt as if his body had been drained of energy, weak and powerless. He tried to move his fingers, but found it extremely difficult. The young eunuch, upon seeing Xiao Yi awake, excitedly rushed to the bedside.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake! You frightened me!"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

The young eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, you have been unconscious for three days and three nights."

Xiao Yi was startled. He knew he didn't have much time left. He endured the discomfort in his body, sat up, and said to the eunuch, "Help me to the secret room."

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xiao Yi's determined eyes, he had no choice but to do as he was told. Xiao Yi returned to the secret room and looked at the devastated scene. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must try to cross again. He knew that every attempt might be the last gamble of his life, but for Li Lingyuan, he was willing to pay any price.

He began to rearrange the runes and spiritual objects in the secret room, preparing to perform the forbidden technique once again. However, his physical condition was too poor, and every movement made him pant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. But his eyes remained firm, filled with persistence and faith in love.

Just as he was about to chant the spell again, a mysterious force suddenly surged out from the corner of the secret room and enveloped him. Xiao Yi was shocked. He didn't know where this power came from, but he could feel that this power had no malicious intentions.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yi asked vigilantly.

An ethereal voice rang out in the secret room: "Xiao Yi, why are you doing this? Forcing your way through will only lead you to eternal damnation."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Who are you? Why do you know about me?"

The voice said, "I am the guardian of this space and time. I cannot watch you destroy the order of space and time. Your fate with Li Lingyuan has long been predetermined. Going against the will of heaven like this will not lead to any result."

Xiao Yi said angrily: "I don't care about the order of time and space. I only know that I can't live without Ling Yuan. I must find her!"

The voice sighed and said, "Do you think you can be with her by traveling through time and space? Even if you succeed, you will face countless dangers and challenges. Moreover, your travel may have a huge impact on both time and space."

Xiao Yi was slightly startled when he heard this. He knew that what the Spacetime Guardian said was not without reason, but he really couldn't let go of his longing for Li Lingyuan.

"Then what should I do?" Xiao Yi's tone softened a little.

The voice said, "You should let go of your obsession and accept the arrangements of fate. Perhaps, one day in the future, you will have the opportunity to meet again."

Xiao Yi fell into deep thought. He knew how difficult it was to let go of his obsession, but he also didn't want to bring disaster to the two time and space because of his actions.

"I need time to think about it." Xiao Yi said.

The voice said, "Okay, I'll give you time. But you must remember that every decision you make may change the fate of the entire space and time."

With that, the mysterious power vanished. Xiao Yi stood alone in the secret room, feeling a mixture of emotions. He didn't know what to do: continue the adventure of crossing, or let go of his obsession and wait for fate to decide?
