Jona Velli did not stop her movements; in the next second, she forcibly carved out a Time Crack thousands of meters high.
Splash, splash, splash—
A sound emerged from within, a sound that seemed to come from the past, yet also seemed to reverse from the future.
The waves surged and the river water churned, the deafening sound of crashing waves was like thunder to the ears.
At this moment! Within this world, no matter who it was, no matter where they were, and no matter what they were doing, everyone heard that rushing water.
The sound of water seemed to be right by their ears, yet also from a distance, and even as if it were emanating from within their own minds.
Golden wave particles galloped out from the Time Crack, washing over Jona Velli's powerful dragon body.
At this moment, all the Dependents and monsters, including Harmody, were swept in, caught completely off guard.
The powerful River of Time erased them on the spot; not even a single whimper remained.
The reason she didn't choose to use [Looking Back] to reverse time was that it wasn't enough; the magic reserves in her body were simply not enough to support her in reversing over fifty years of time.
Moreover, this was under the premise of only reversing the region of the Jesup Continent.
Therefore, her only current way to return to the past was to step into the River of Time and head upstream.
Jona Velli took a step forward, ignoring the gazes cast by the gods and the stares of the various powerhouses on the continent.
Forcibly resisting the River of Time, she prepared to rush into the Time Crack and swim upstream to return to the point in time before everything had happened.
In the Sun God Realm, the blond god sitting within the Sun Palace had a cold glint flash in his eyes as he said in a low voice,
"No matter what you intend to do, I will not let you have your way."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, which was flowing with golden light, but at the very moment he raised it, a terrifying sense of being watched came over him.
A hint of horror appeared on his expressionless face; it wasn't just the Sun God, but all the gods were intimidated by these several gazes.
They raised their heads and looked into the boundless Star Realm outside the God Realm; in the next second, they were all stunned.
In that deep starry sky filled with mysterious colors, five pairs of obsidian-gold vertical pupils abruptly appeared!
Five giant beasts of immeasurable length had appeared outside the world at some unknown time.
And within their obsidian-gold dragon eyes, there was playfulness, mockery, and disdain, as if they were looking at ants... no, they weren't even as good as ants; it was the kind of feeling an Ultraman has when looking at a paramecium.
"Who... are you?"
"Temple of Time, Miles."
One of the Time Dragons curled his dragon mouth and said in a disdainful voice,
"Try moving again? Little bug."
The other several powerful existences looked inside the world, and one of them couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect Her Excellency Jona Velli to be so fierce since childhood, it really is..."
By this time, Jona Velli had already braved the washing of the River of Time and rushed into the Time Crack.
As she entered, the Time Crack closed instantly, leaving behind only a ground full of ruins.
Seeing that Jona Velli had already left, the several giant beasts that had suddenly appeared no longer lingered; using the power of time, they vanished instantly, having already left this time period.
Leaving the gods of the God Realm to their own confusion... In the blink of an eye, Jona Velli found herself in a mysterious, boundless space.
The River of Time surged with wild waves; there was no shore here, and no concrete water, only billions of light rails crisscrossing and intertwining to form the vast and surging River of Time, rolling toward nothingness as it rushed along.
The moment the light of her scales touched the light rails in the river, tiny sparks of starlight erupted, and the dragon's body slowly sank following that vibration.
The light rails washed over Jona Velli's claw tips and wrapped around her wing bones; the chronological shadows reflected on her scales were gently peeled away by the river water, turning into fish-like spots of light that merged into the river.
And the light rails in the river repeatedly washed over her, making Jona Velli's silhouette suddenly as clear as the present world, and then suddenly as hazy as an ancient shadow.
And at an unknown distance away, at the starting point of the River of Time, there stood a grand and towering palace.
Even across an infinite distance, Jona Velli could surprisingly see this Golden Palace of unknown material clearly.
Seeing this miraculous sight before her, Jona Velli couldn't help but stand dazed on the spot.
"Is this... the River of Time?
And what is that palace?"
Suddenly, ten-thousand-foot waves surged up in front of her, interrupting her thoughts. Jona Velli had no time to dodge before she was struck by the waves and fell into the River of Time.
After only a moment of silence, Jona Velli surfaced again. Her charcoal-white dragon head shook, and the river water composed of countless golden particles slid off her body, allowing her to shake off the tears in her eyes.
Looking at the endless River of Time, Jona Velli's gaze became increasingly firm and determined.
"Friel, Gris, wait for me!"
Finishing her words, she paddled her dragon claw, flapped her dragon wings, and struggled to swim upstream against the River of Time.
She could feel that every time she was washed by the river water, the erosion of the power of time on her scales and dragon body would deepen.
Jona Velli moved upstream with unwavering determination; at this moment, she had only one goal: to return to the past! To return to before everything happened and save them!
Splash, splash, splash—
Every movement of Jona Velli would kick up huge splashes; every splash contained countless time particles, and those time particles formed historical images of every hour, every minute, every second, and every moment.
And now, a segment of images burst into Jona Velli's sight, making it impossible for her to look away.
In the image was a massive Green Dragon.
In the Green Dragon's right claw was a dragon heart that was still thumping.
Jona Velli recognized who this was; it was precisely Veitris, whom she had tortured forty-two times—oh no, it should be forty-three times.
Veitris's dragon mouth was slightly curled, her eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge, and her expression was mocking.
And opposite her was a Black Dragon who was already heavily injured, with a large hole ripped in his chest; that was Gris!
At this time, Gris's life was hanging by a thread; if it weren't for the powerful vitality of a giant dragon, he would have already embraced death.
dragon blood continuously flowed out of Gris's ruptured chest, and his breathing was heavy.
But in his eyes, there was no fear of impending death; instead, there was extreme indignation and hatred.
"Cough, cough... I lost. I was careless. I didn't expect... that there was a mastermind behind the destruction of my family back then. As soon as I arrived... I underestimated you."
"But I'm not reconciled... I will definitely not let you go. I will wait for you in the Evil Dragon God Kingdom, wait for the day you die!"
The emerald-Green Dragon mouth opened, and she sent the dragon heart in her claw into her mouth, her dragon head tilting back slightly.
"Are these your last words? How truly pathetic."
A pink dragon tongue stretched out, licking the bloodstains on the dragon mouth clean.
In the next second, an anomaly occurred; three emerald-green Magic Arrays appeared around Gris.
Countless thick, dark green vines rushed out from within, binding Gris.
Faced with this sudden attack, Gris wanted to struggle, but besides causing more dragon blood to flow out, it was of no use at all.
Veitris's figure flashed, appearing in front of Gris, and she grabbed his neck with one claw, her powerful force forcing him to look up and meet her gaze.
