Chapter 144 The Long River Of Time

*Swoosh~*

"With only a few ripples from time to time, the silver river seemed completely different from the river of destiny."

"In it, to the goblins' surprise, what he saw was itself!"

"In the river, it saw its young self being born, growing up yearning to be the strongest, being ridiculed by his fellow tribesmen."

"The goblin saw itself not giving up no matter what, it saw itself getting lost during a hunting expedition, it saw itself being sucked into a space crack"

"And if that wasn't enough, what the goblin saw next really put it at the tips of his heels."

Saying this, the figure took a pause making sure Elric was keeping up with his story.

Thankfully, after taking a deep glance, he noticed Elric was currently completely focused on his words as the level of concentration on his face couldn't be underestimated

Seeing this, the figure nodded in approval before continuing.

The goblin saw itself facing the current situation of the three rivers, next it saw itself after peering into all three, slowly bent and drank a had full from the three of them

*Bang!*

Without waiting for him to react, a surge of pain flows through his head.

His eyes started to bleed as drops of blood dripped down his cheeks.

It seemed that he had seen an unspeakable taboo that should never have been seen.

However, just when the goblin thought it was all over and his head and maybe his eyes were going to explode, a change suddenly happened

The version of himself who was in the river, suddenly looked upwards as if it knew his past self was peering at it at this month

However, unlike its current self, the goblin's two pupils had turned black and silver respectively with a gold eye shining in the middle of its fire head.

Making contact across time and space, if anyone was here, they would have been shocked by the unprecedented nature of what was currently taking place.

Unfortunately, no one was there apart from the goblin to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Soon the time passed, and while his past self was steel bleeding completely in agony, the future self just looked upward with a nonchalant expression on his face.

It wasn't until the goblin felt it was about to faint from blood loss that the future goblin made above.

*Swoosh!*

With a wave of its hand, a sliver ripple occurred on the bank of the river causing a few waves to go up in the air.

Coincidentally, or non-coincidentally, a drop of the water directly landed on its past self causing an unexpected change to occur.

*Bang!*

As soon as the drop and the past self-made contact, a bomb seemed to have exploded in the goblin's head, as fragments of the future kept flashing in its head

He saw the picture it just saw now, plus a few more that he couldn't understand such as him being hunted by most of Elias.

However, just when he wanted to go deeper, a familiar voice sounded in his mind.

"Hello my past self, I'm sure your eyes must be currently hurting."

"Hah~ I remember, back then I felt like gouging my eyes too"

Hearing these words, the goblins pupils couldn't help but dilate with shock. However, the voice's next word confirmed his thousand.

"Yeah, I'm sure that you guessed it, but it's me your future self"

"That right there is the 'long river of time'. Amazon isn't it?"

"However, don't reply that I currently don't have much time"

"And no, it's not a time pun."

Listening to his future self talk, the goblin could help but wonder when he learned to crack jokes in the future.

Taking a sigh, the goblin just nodded although no one was around as if to tell his future self he agreed.

"Haha good, it seems that the me of the past was quick to catch on"

"Next what I'm going to tell you is extremely important, so don't forget it"

"The reason you currently bleeding is that events that take place from this cave all the way to a long time in the future get sealed for all eternity"

"Anyone who tries prying into it would immediately be backlashed by the power of the three rivers. I'm your front."

"If it wasn't for my help using that drop from the river time to reverse your injuries back in time, and reduce the backlash, it would be no exaggeration to call you dead"

Hearing this, a look of shock appeared on the goblin's face. He couldn't believe he was so close to death's gate

Thinking of this, a question came to his mind

"Hey future me, what happened that this whole era became sealed?"

"And who would be powerful enough to arrange such a power seal on the era?"

Realising the seriousness of the matter for a whole eeta to be sealed, the goblin couldn't help but wonder what went down in the future resulting in such a drastic move

And who would be powerful enough to do such a thing, to be honest, the goblin doubted that even the God-king would be able to achieve such a feat.

Unfinished, although he was curious his future self didn't give him a clear answer as after pausing for a minute, its reply wasn't all too satisfactory.

"Um my past self, about what happened in the future….."

"I can't tell you."

"Remember what I just said, it's a Taboo, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for you to get struck by heavenly lightning immediately after you learn about what went down."

"Now, do you still want to learn? Do note if you die now, so do I in the future

Listening to his future self say this, the goblin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips, who would want to get struck by lightning?

Hearing him say this, he knew his frost question could not be answered, at least not yet anyway.

"Fine, since you can't answer the first question, what about the second?"

"Who could be powerful enough to seal away a whole era?"

Saying this, what happened next completely shocked the goblin

Contrary to his expectation of hearing something like 'you can't or 'you'll die if you hear it, what his future self said next left him completely shocked

"Hahaha, that?"

"Of course, who else can achieve such a feat apart from yours truly!"

With a voice full of pride, his future self boasted casually about sealing an era.
