Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: Chapter 545: The 9th Seal (2/2)
If he wished to save them, he would have to exhaust all of his Spiritual Power, destroy the existing timeline of this universe… Meanwhile, the Seal on him would return to its initial state.
The only advantage lay in the fact that, other than that otherworldly god of the Chaos Constellation, it should be only I who carried memories back.
Karl knew exactly what risks he was facing.
If “next cycle” ended and he hadn’t lifted the ninth seal to master the power to traverse time and space, perhaps, he would drift forever in this shattered darkness of nothingness…
Even after tens of thousands of years, no one in this void would ever be able to find and help him.
In truth, he had already won.
At this moment, he could simply walk away, go to another universe, find new favored clans; there was absolutely no need to risk saving the Fischer family.
“…”
Was this truly the result he wanted?
Was he truly content with this?
Was the Fischer family merely a stepping stone to be casually discarded?
A flame that should not have existed flared up deep within Karl’s heart; as one of the most powerful beings in the world, he could not give up so easily!
He had no desire to escape his fate but wanted to shape all destiny’s trajectories according to his will!
“I am the Lord of the Lost!”
“When the great enterprise is accomplished, it will also be the moment the Fischers ascend to divinity!”
“There is no way I can escape now, since the initial pact was set, it shall be realized by me!”
Karl’s heart filled with resolve, vowing to shatter the Fischer family’s predetermined destiny in his own way.
An indescribable power surged from within him, a force that transcended the constraints of time, penetrating the barriers of space, directly acting upon the timeline of the entire universe.
Under Karl’s powerful will, the surrounding space began to warp, time frayed like torn cloth, its fragments fluttering, each piece carrying different trajectories of destiny.
The timeline began to tremble as if plucked by an invisible hand, and the once stable flow of time turned into utter chaos.
Past, present, and future intertwined, forming a complex and chaotic picture, until he gathered all the Spiritual Power into a focal point, then released it explosively.
In that moment, the universe’s timeline, like a giant tree hewn down, thunderously collapsed and rewove into an entirely new scene.
As time reversed, Karl’s will surged into the past like a tide, reshaping people and events he wanted to change and save.
Time returned to those critical nodes, every choice, every encounter, every farewell, now granted new possibilities.

Suddenly, he felt as if stepping out of a dark, unlit world, finally able to “see” his surroundings.
It was the familiar yet unfamiliar old dilapidated shack, very damp, merely two wooden plank beds on either side covered with straw mats, the cramped room still neatly stacked with various items.
The force once powerful enough to destroy most concepts had almost entirely drained.
Now, Karl was extremely weak.
The transparent bottle carrying his soul still sat on that wooden plank bed.
The door to the shack was wide open, Karl’s consciousness could see the night sky outside, the stars sparse, the air fresh, and quite distinctly in the night sky hung two moons.
One crimson, one bright.
And in that crimson moon, were those local gods of Claud who had been controlled by the Chaos Constellation.
