Chapter 388 Death attempt
After a year of teaching and training by Lin Zhongtian, Diana has grown very rapidly.
Her height increased by 30 centimeters in just one year, from a cute little girl of 1.2 meters to a heroic girl of 1.5 meters.
Neither Lin Zhongtian nor Hippolyta was surprised by this.
If the divine power is not suppressed, it is not impossible for Diana's appearance to increase by one year every day.
But physical growth does not mean mental maturity. Diana is still the innocent child she was a year ago, but she has a lot more knowledge about the human world in her mind, and her understanding of this world has become more complete.
Paradise island, mirror space.
Diana stood in the center of the circular platform, wielding a dark iron heavy sword that was one meter six long and about thirty centimeters wide.
This heavy sword is a practice sword specially made for Diana by Lin Zhongtian using compressed metal.
It has no edge or blade and weighs 890 kilograms. Even if an ordinary person has been trained, at least several people will need to work together to lift it, but Diana can dance it with just one hand. .
"Huh-huh-"
During the staggered steps, the sword blade brought up a howling wind.
While waving the heavy sword, Diana stared ahead with unfocused eyes, seemingly worried.
Not long after, Diana suddenly stopped, inserted the heavy sword in her hand into the ground, turned around and ran quickly to Lin Zhongtian.
At this time, Lin Zhongtian was sitting on a recliner, drinking wine from a glass, his eyes glowing with silver, browsing the long river of time, and feeling the mysterious and mysterious power of time.
Diana squatted down next to the lounge chair, holding on to the armrests of the chair, and shook Lin Zhongtian's arm somewhat unhappily.
"Teacher, teacher, have you heard what happened to Phillips?"
"..." Lin Zhongtian's eyes dimmed and he turned to glance at her, "Of course."
Diana couldn't help but ask: "Can you help her?"
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing: "How do you want me to help? Help her leave Paradise Island to find the human who has forgotten her, or bring that human back and let the two of them live on Paradise Island as typical examples of those who violate the Amazon rules. On to life?”
"..."
Diana opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping, stopping yet wanting to speak.
Her reason told her that neither choice would have a good outcome.
The combination of long-lived species and short-lived species is a tragedy.
Being able to forget each other in the world is not a lucky ending.
In Lin Zhongtian's view, the one who really needs help is not Phillips who has tasted temporary happiness, but the unborn mixed-race baby in her belly.
Diana didn't know that Phillips was carrying a baby boy, but she also knew that the love between Amazons and humans never had a happy ending.
But even so, when things really happened in front of her, it was still difficult for Diana to accept it.
At this moment, seeing that the all-powerful teacher in the past was helpless, the kind-hearted Diana felt very sad and couldn't help but become childish towards the people close to her.
"It's all the teacher's fault!"
Diana stood up angrily and turned around angrily, not looking at Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian was a little amused when he heard this, and asked with interest: "Why do you blame me?"
"Teacher, standing at the northernmost point of Paradise Island, you can hear what I say at the southernmost point. Standing on the beach at the edge of the island, you can see the entire process of me hunting sharks in the shallow sea fifty miles away."
"With your ability, you should have discovered the human being when he drifted to Paradise Island. If you had prevented him from meeting Aunt Phillips, none of this would have happened!"
Looking at Diana's sad back, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh.
He gently stretched out his hand, grabbed Diana's wrist, turned her around, then looked into her slightly red eyes and asked:
"Phillips is your mother's bodyguard, and he knows your mother's behavior best. She will know the consequences of marrying a human, but why does she still insist on being with that human man?"
Diana asked with red eyes: "Why?"
Of course it’s because of love!
Lin Zhongtian replied in his heart.
But he couldn't explain it to Diana now, so he could only spread his hands and said: "You can't understand the specific reason yet, but with your logical thinking, you should be able to understand that Phillips made the mistake knowingly. Since she is willing to take this risk and has no regrets about it, who am I to interfere with her behavior?"
"..."
Diana looked even sadder after hearing this.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and raised his hand, and Diana squatted down habitually, like a wounded animal, leaning her head on the teacher's hand, letting him stroke her long black hair.
"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times."
"Diana, the teacher knows that you are a kind child, but reality is not a fairy tale, and there are not so many perfect endings. Sometimes, you have to learn to compromise with reality, and never force yourself. This will only make those who care about you more sad. …”
To be honest, if this was not the past timeline, Lin Zhongtian would definitely not teach Diana this way.
He will definitely let Diana hide under his wings all her life just like he protected Duoduo.
But this is only the past after all.
Lin Zhongtian has discovered that the longer he stays in this past world, the greater the fluctuations in the long river of time.
Even if he did nothing but teach Diana, and even never left Paradise Island, he still couldn't eliminate this influence.
According to Lin Zhongtian's calculations, according to the current fluctuation range of the river of time, he will have to leave in another year at most.
The next important time point will be more than a thousand years ago...
In other words, in the eyes of everyone on Paradise Island, Lin Zhongtian will disappear for more than a thousand years.
During these more than a thousand years, even if Lin Zhongtian wanted to protect Diana, he was powerless unless he ignored the safety of the world and forcibly interfered with the flow of time.
But in this case, the river of time may collapse.
The kind-hearted Diana would definitely not want to see such a tragedy happen.
So whether it was out of his own heart or for Diana's sake, Lin Zhongtian would not do this.
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's serious words, Diana nodded in understanding.
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, rubbed Diana's hair, and said with a smile: "Continue practicing your sword!"
"Only with enough power can you protect the people you want to protect from fate..."
Diana nodded with red eyes, then turned around obediently and walked towards the dark iron heavy sword inserted in the center of the platform.
Time continued to pass as Diana swung her sword again and again.
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, and half a year flies by.
In the past six months, Lin Zhongtian fulfilled his original promise and taught Diana all three kendos, but Diana obviously could not accept them all.
Regardless of what she said at the beginning, she wanted it all, it was just because she didn't have a clue about the way of the sword.
Now, after nearly two years of practice, Diana has begun to have her own understanding of kendo and gradually developed her own style.
The "Black Iron Heavy Sword" and "Dharma Sword Technique" taught by Lin Zhongtian were all blended by her and turned into something of her own.
In addition, Lin Zhongtian also taught Diana the "Art of Controlling Objects" and the method of constructing a biological force field. From time to time, he quietly took the Vulcan Sword from the high tower on Paradise Island and let Diana try to control objects.
As for the mysterious and mysterious sword intentions and sword power in the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story"...
Unfortunately, Diana did not display the relevant talent.
Even if Lin Zhongtian allowed her to experience it personally, she would not be able to learn this kind of thing.
There was no way, Lin Zhongtian could only give up this idea and let Diana go her own way.
…
It was another early morning, and Lin Zhongtian was suspended above the palace, staring directly at the sky with silvery eyes.
Due to some of his previous attempts, the fluctuations in the long river of time have become larger and larger.
Six months ago, he would have been able to stay in the current timeline for nearly a year.
But now, there is less than a month left at most...
The reduced time was all due to Lin Zhongtian's suicide attempt——
He plans to add a course called Mage to Diana.
This move instantly caused the river of time to surge into turbulent waves.
If Lin Zhongtian hadn't stopped in advance, the world would have been completely destroyed in his hands.
Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian thought about it carefully and found that the key to the problem might not be Diana, but that his actions would make this kind of thinking appear in the world earlier.
And this will definitely lead to a huge change in the future direction of the entire world.
Anyone who has watched the movie "The Flash" knows that time works differently in the DC Universe than in Marvel.
Changing a certain time node will not only change the future and form a tributary of time, but will also change the past simultaneously, causing changes in the origin of the world.
Just like Barry Allen in the movie The Flash, he just changed the placement of tomato cans on the shelf, which caused huge changes in the origin of Batman Bruce Wayne.
Lin Zhongtian does not use the Flash's speed to change the world, he uses the power of time to travel through the long river of time.
The difference between the two is like the old white and the young pink in "Breaking Bad".
Lin Zhongtian is Lao Bai, a top chemist who knows everything he makes, so he can interfere with the past while ensuring that the world he has changed in the future will not become a parallel universe.
Barry Allen, the Flash, is like a little fan, only knowing what is happening but not why.
Although he also knows many rules for the operation of time, they are like detailed experimental steps. They are only the surface of the long flow of time, not the deeper rules of time.
Lin Zhongtian knows the deeper rules and knows how to protect the long river of time and prevent it from forming tributaries.
