Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Chapter 11: Time and Space Change, Lone Shadow's Sad Song

In the valley, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan thought they could finally enjoy a peaceful and happy life after going through hardships. However, fate once again showed its fickleness.

It was an ordinary morning. The sun shone through the valley as usual, and birds sang joyfully in the branches. Li Lingyuan rose as usual, preparing to make breakfast for Xiao Yi. But as she walked into the yard, she suddenly felt dizzy and her surroundings blurred. Xiao Yi rushed over, only to see Li Lingyuan's figure gradually becoming transparent in a strange light.

"Lingyuan!" Xiao Yi was horrified and rushed over to grab her, but his hand passed through Li Lingyuan's body.

"Xiao Yi, I don't know what's going on..." Li Lingyuan's face was full of fear and confusion. Her voice was still echoing in the air, but her figure had disappeared.

Xiao Yi stood there in a daze, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment. He couldn't believe that the lover who had just been right before his eyes had disappeared without a trace. He frantically searched the valley, leaving no trace of Li Lingyuan, but there was no trace of her.

After a moment of dizziness, Li Lingyuan found herself back in her modern home. She looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, filled with shock and confusion. She didn't understand why she had suddenly returned here. She and Xiao Yi had been through so much, was it all going to be in vain?

She tried to find a way back to ancient times, scouring every possible book and resource on time travel, but to no avail. She locked herself in her room all day, refusing to eat or drink, her mind replaying every moment she had spent with Xiao Yi. The adventures of the palace and the warmth of life in the valley pierced her heart like a knife.

In ancient times, Xiao Yi fell into deep sorrow and despair. Every day, he stayed in the small house where they once lived, hoping that Li Lingyuan would suddenly appear. He recalled every moment he had spent with Li Lingyuan, from their initial encounter in the palace to their later battles against various conspiracies and dangers together. Every scene was heartbreaking.

He began to search for a way to bring Li Lingyuan back. He visited countless wise men, immortal cultivators, and even some mysterious figures living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. But no one knew where Li Lingyuan had gone, and no one could tell him how to find her.

Xiao Yi's body gradually withered from the constant running around and missing Li Lingyuan, but he did not give up. He remembered the experience of searching for a way to lift the curse and fight against the dark forces with Li Lingyuan. Those hardships and dangers could not defeat them. This time, he must find a way to bring Li Lingyuan back.

During one of his searches, Xiao Yi encountered a mysterious old woman. Sitting by the roadside, she looked at him intently. "My Lord, are you looking for your lover?" the old woman's voice was hoarse but carried a mysterious power.

Xiao Yi quickly dismounted and walked up to the old woman. "Do you know how to get Ling Yuan back? Please tell me."

The old woman smiled faintly. "The trajectory of fate is inherently complex. She was forcibly pulled back to her original world by the power of time and space. If you want to find her, you must find the door to time and space, and pay a huge price."

"The gate of time and space? Where is it? I am willing to pay any price." Xiao Yi asked anxiously.

The old woman pointed to a snow-capped mountain in the distance, shrouded in mist. "On the top of that mountain, there's a space-time portal hidden in the ice and snow. But there's a powerful seal on the door, and if you pass through it, you might lose the most important thing in your life."

Xiao Yi didn't hesitate at all. After thanking the old woman, he headed towards the snow-capped mountains. Along the way, there was wind and snow, and the mountain road was rugged and steep, but he had only one belief in his heart, and that was to find Li Lingyuan.

When he finally reached the summit of the snowy mountain, he saw the mysteriously radiant Gate of Time and Space. Powerful energy surrounded the gate, and ancient runes were inscribed on it, forming a seal. Xiao Yi tried to break the seal with his spiritual power, but every time he touched it, the powerful force bounced back.

Xiao Yi's body was severely damaged during his repeated attempts, but he refused to give up. He recalled the good times he had spent with Li Lingyuan, and those memories gave him strength. Finally, he found a weak spot in the seal. He concentrated all his spiritual power and launched a final attack towards that weak spot.

With a loud bang, the seal was broken, and the door of time and space slowly opened. A strange light flickered inside the door, as if it was a passage to another world. Xiao Yi did not hesitate at all, and he stepped into the door of time and space.

In the space-time tunnel, Xiao Yi felt a tremendous tearing force, as if his soul was being torn from his body. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and thought of Li Lingyuan as he moved towards the end of the tunnel.

In the modern world, Li Lingyuan is still immersed in grief. She has tried various methods, even trying to use scientific methods to explain and solve her time travel problem, but to no avail. She begins to feel that her encounter with Xiao Yi is like a beautiful yet cruel dream.

One day, Li Lingyuan was wandering the streets when a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky. People stopped to watch, but Li Lingyuan had an inexplicable premonition. The light grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a vortex in front of her, from which Xiao Yi emerged.

"Lingyuan..." When Xiao Yi saw Li Lingyuan, his eyes were full of excitement and affection.

Li Lingyuan's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Xiao Yi really appeared in front of her. "Xiao Yi, why are you here?" She rushed over and hugged Xiao Yi tightly.

However, before they could enjoy the joy of reunion, the world around them began to behave strangely. Time and space seemed to be thrown into chaos by Xiao Yi's time travel, and various natural disasters began to appear in the city. Earthquakes, strong winds, and torrential rain followed one after another, and the people fell into panic.

Li Lingyuan realized that Xiao Yi's arrival had disrupted the balance of the world. "Xiao Yi, we can't do this. We will destroy the world," Li Lingyuan said with a face full of pain.

Xiao Yi looked at the chaotic world, his heart filled with guilt. "I just want to be with you. I can't lose you again." He held Li Lingyuan's hand tightly.

At this moment, a huge figure appeared in the sky. It was the incarnation of the God of Time and Space. "Your love has disrupted the order of time and space. One of you must return to your own world, otherwise both worlds will be destroyed." The voice of the God of Time and Space echoed between heaven and earth.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were caught in a dilemma. They didn't want to separate, but they couldn't bear to watch their two worlds being destroyed because of them.

"Xiao Yi, go back, your world needs you." Li Lingyuan said with tears in her eyes.

"No, without you, my world has no meaning." Xiao Yi shook his head firmly.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Xiao Yi made a decision. He looked at the God of Time and Space and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for the balance between the two worlds and Ling Yuan's safety."

The God of Time and Space nodded slightly, "Since you are so determined, then I will grant your wish."

Xiao Yi turned around and looked at Li Lingyuan, "Lingyuan, I love you. No matter which world we are in, my love will never change. You must live well."

After saying this, Xiao Yi's body began to emit light, and his vitality was constantly fading. Li Lingyuan wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.

"Xiao Yi!" Li Lingyuan cried out in grief. She watched Xiao Yi disappear before her eyes, turning into points of light and merging into time and space.

With Xiao Yi's sacrifice, the world gradually returned to peace. But Li Lingyuan's heart was forever broken, knowing she had lost the most important person in her life. From then on, there was no more laughter in her life, only endless longing for Xiao Yi. She often sat by the window, recalling every moment with Xiao Yi, and those beautiful memories became her only support to live.
