Chen Hai's true self remained quietly seated atop the Cultivation Hall on the summit of the Black Water Immortal Mountain; only a fragment of his consciousness traversed this vast river.
He felt somewhat dazed, as if witnessing countless versions of himself ceaselessly drifting within the river waters.
As he concentrated on one of those versions in the river, he saw himself at only six or seven years old, playing by the riverside with a few companions, stark naked.
When he shifted his focus to another target, the scene transformed into him making mistakes during college entrance exams and working on a factory assembly line, screwing bolts.
Following that, he rapidly switched between several other targets.
Within this river, every self he saw seemed to represent a different life.
Indeed, what he saw of himself included not just his past but also his present, alongside future scenes connected to him.
"Is this... the River of Time?"
