Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Flow of Time
Time flowed differently for Kai now. He experienced it not as a linear progression, but as a vast, interconnected tapestry, a complex web of past, present, and future. He could perceive events unfolding simultaneously, see the consequences of actions before they were taken, understand the ripple effects of choices made long ago.
He saw the potential futures that lay ahead for the galaxy, the paths that could lead to peace and prosperity, the dangers that could bring about destruction and despair. He understood that the future was not fixed, but fluid, constantly changing in response to the choices made by sentient beings.
He also saw the past, not just as a collection of historical events, but as a living record of the galaxy's journey, the triumphs and failures, the lessons learned and forgotten. He understood that the past was not dead, but alive, its echoes resonating through the present, shaping the future.
