Or perhaps, using the word 'seemed' wasn't appropriate.
This was because at this moment, those memories of the past were really revealed from the illusion and gradually became real.

In this vortex, there was Xu Qing's past, his present, and his future.
However, the scene in the future was blurry and couldn't be seen clearly at all. Now that they had fused together, it was even more so.
The word 'time' also became unfamiliar.
It was as though it no longer had the concept it possessed!
Perhaps time was only defined by intelligent lifeforms for their own convenience.
In reality, time itself may not require any definition, and any attempt to define it might not capture its complete essence.
