Mint, hearing the Black Crow Green Seer mention the method of becoming a god for the first time, her eyes immediately lit up.
Presuming upon her identity as a guardian, she boldly asked, "Great Black Crow Green Seer, I wonder if I have the honor of hearing such a secret!"
Black Crow turned to look Mint up and down, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Mint, although your talent is far inferior to Leaf's, you barely possess the potential to become a Green Seer.
In some fragments of the future, I did not see Leaf; she probably won't be coming back.
Since that is the case, you should indeed learn about the contents of the River of Time.
However, this thing cannot be described in words; you must experience it yourself.
Come with me!"
After hearing Black Crow's words, Mint's excitement was beyond words.
This meant that she had officially become Black Crow's successor and was very likely to become the next Green Seer.
Of course, if the Black Crow Green Seer truly became a god, she would inevitably gain even greater benefits.
Just like an old saying in her previous life, when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
After entering Dreadfort, Black Crow and Mint went straight towards the Godswood.
Although this was their first time going south, Black Crow had already thoroughly understood every city in Westeros within the River of Time.
As for the cleanup work in Dreadfort, someone would take over, after all, this was not the first city to be conquered.
Upon arriving at the Godswood, before Black Crow could speak, Mint immediately began chanting source language magic.
Accompanied by a shimmering green light, the Weirwood in the Godswood, which had withered due to high-concentration saltwater, began to sprout branches and leaves.
Before long, this Weirwood was brought back to life, regaining its vitality.
Black Crow led Mint, whose face was pale from expending a large amount of magic, to the Weirwood, placed one hand on the Weirwood, and held Mint's hand with the other.
Whoosh!
Mint suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and then found herself no longer in the Godswood of Dreadfort.
She and Black Crow were now in a world radiating dazzling light, and a narrow-at-the-top, wide-at-the-bottom, multicolored river in the distance was particularly eye-catching.
Upon closer inspection, what flowed in this multicolored river was not water, but an endless stream of multicolored bubbles.
"Mint, you absolutely must not look away from my surroundings.
Otherwise, your soul will be ground into dust by this River of Time!"
After giving a warning, Black Crow led Mint closer to the River of Time.
Mint, keeping Black Crow's warning firmly in mind, followed him step by step.
Only now, having gotten a little closer, did she see that there seemed to be many illusory figures within those multicolored bubbles, as if countless tiny worlds were being nurtured inside.
As soon as Black Crow reached the edge of the River of Time, a huge multicolored bubble rose from the River of Time, enveloping him and Mint.
"This is the 'present', which is the time anchor of our breaking Dreadfort.
Didn't you ask me before why I wanted to leave the Free Folk, and the people of Last Hearth and Caho Town?
That's because they can provide me with the power of faith, which I gather through the Heart Tree and use as my time anchor.
Only then can I swim in the River of Time!"
After hearing this, Mint immediately felt that her knowledge was still too shallow.
Indeed, the Black Crow Green Seer could not do anything meaningless.
Black Crow then pointed his finger at the ground beneath his feet and continued to explain to Mint, "The 'present' in the River of Time is not unique.
Or rather, only the 'present' we are in is unique.
But at the same time, there are also infinite 'presents'.
For example, if you hadn't asked me about leaving humans behind, I wouldn't have explained this to you.
Such a 'present' is just one of the colored bubbles near us.
Any different choice, any different action, any different word can become a 'present'.
Ultimately forming the River of Time of the 'present'."
"So that's how it is. Then why is the upper reaches of the River of Time so narrow?"
Mint nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then raised her hand and pointed to the upper reaches of the River of Time, which was extremely narrow compared to where they were.
"That is the 'past'. What happened in the past is fixed; it is unique.
So there are very few colored bubbles of the 'past'.
But in extremely special circumstances, the 'present' can influence the 'past'.
These things, you don't need to know for now."
"I understand, Great Green Seer.
So, the lower reaches of the River of Time, which are as wide as the ocean, must be the 'future', right?"
Mint first nodded in reply, then, inferring from what she had learned, pointed to the lower reaches of the River of Time and said.
"Hmm, the 'past' doesn't have much meaning.
Let's go see the 'future' now!"
Black Crow nodded slightly upon hearing this, and as soon as he finished speaking, he controlled the colored bubble that enveloped them both to drift downstream.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of dragon wings tearing through the air, like muffled thunder, suddenly echoed in the sky, followed by a pale green dragon with intense pressure diving rapidly towards the spear-shield formation.
But it was clear that the large magic array beneath the spear-shield formation was prepared for it.
Splash!
Accompanied by a sound like waves, streams of blood gushed out from the magic array.
At the same time, incredibly huge Ironmen tentacles extended from the blood.
They firmly trapped the pale green dragon that happened to be flying overhead and dragged it into the large magic array.
Roar!!!
More and more Ironmen tentacles wrapped around the dragon, and at the same time, the streams of blood spread over the dragon's body.
The dragon only let out one last roar before being completely submerged in the blood of the large magic array.
And this sudden change directly froze the air of the entire battlefield.
Whoosh!
With a blur before her eyes, Mint found herself back in the Godswood of Dreadfort.
Black Crow seemed to know what she wanted to ask and answered in advance, "What you just saw was just one possible 'future' that could happen.
So absolutely do not speak of it.
Because any action you take could cause this 'future', which is beneficial to us, to change."
"Great Black Crow Green Seer, please rest assured, I will bury it in my heart."
"Hmm, then let's go see those newly captured humans.
And let them provide me with as much faith as possible!"
