I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 774 With Time and Space as its domain, standing atop Time and Space (The End)

The matchmaking event has ended.

Or rather, it was the end of a massive brawl set against the backdrop of the Gengshen year in Dadong City.

The two generations of demon tamers engaged in a direct confrontation, and more than a dozen couples successfully "joined hands".

Guo Fan and the Gengshen Year Mummified Bride were the first couple, the most direct couple, and also the last couple.

Of course, there are no rewards.

The participants in this matchmaking event were mostly young people from two different generations; there were no older participants. On the contrary, there were quite a few ghosts among them.

There are not only ghosts from the Gengshen year, but also many ghosts in real life.

Of course, Lin Yuan had put all these ghosts into it, and he was quite satisfied with the blind date event.

"Let's just consider it a training exercise. After all, they will need to work hard to find partners or spouses in the future. I can't be their babysitter."

Such matchmaking events are destined to be few and far between, but they won't be many either.

However, it no longer has much direct connection with Lin Yuan, because he also plans to hand it over to Zhang Youhong and others to take charge of it.

As for the strategy for the Year of Gengshen?

It's no longer needed.

The moment Zhang Dongdu chose to compromise, the next hundred years were no longer a challenge; it was merely a matter of time.

For others, even for the staff at the Peace Hotel, it was a crucial period, but for Lin Yuan, it was just a matter of time, and he no longer needed to pay too much attention to it.

Finally, a month had passed in the Peace Hotel.

The imprint of the Peace Hotel has been thoroughly established in the Year of Gengshen, and the Peace Hotel, as an anchor point, no longer exists merely in reality.

Using the year of Gengshen as a template, the Peace Hotel continues to imprint itself on one distant past after another.

However, the era of this branding is limited to a maximum of sixty years. After the branding is completed, the Peace Hotel will exist during these sixty years.

Thus, a hotel that has been a constant throughout human history has appeared at every moment of human development.

Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song.

The Peace Hotel bears the mark of every era, but it is not so conspicuous. It exists only in the eyes of the ghost tamers and is rarely discovered or recognized by ordinary people.

Lin Yuan's existence, along with the imprint of the times, has become increasingly terrifying.

Even he himself didn't know what level he had reached, but for him, there were no secrets in the past or present.

As for the future?

According to Lin Yuan's initial idea, only by integrating the present, the past, and the future can he achieve true uniqueness, that is, the so-called god, reaching a level that would allow him to be truly carefree.

But after merging the past with the present, he finally understood.

The future does not actually exist.

Or rather, he himself is the future!
"Time is like a long river flowing from top to bottom, and I stand at the very front of this river, belonging to the future that this world is creating."

Lin Yuan suddenly understood.

His room is still on the third floor of the Peace Hotel. On the surface, it seems to be no different from before, except that there is a dense, unyielding halo in his palm.

This is a rule, a rule extracted from Elder Qin, that can communicate with the future!
But if there is no future, how can this rule exist?

"Deduction! The essence of this rule is deduction, deducing the possible future after a choice, rather than actually communicating with the future."

"I see. I didn't expect that the essence of this rule is like this."

Sitting opposite Lin Yuan was a handsome young man, who was Zhang Dong in his youth, and also Zhang Dong in his old age. Or rather, Zhang Dong who had integrated a century into one, and who had embarked on the path to godhood with Lin Yuan, and truly ascended to become a god among men!

However, his time was limited to the hundred years he himself lived in, which was also the... fiefdom that Lin Yuan gave him!
Using time as a fiefdom is what Lin Yuan can do right now. It sounds incredible, but it is also so natural.

Not only Zhang Dong, but also Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua, Li Qingzhi, Luo Wensong, Luo Qian, and Zhang Youhong, all of them remained in their youngest, most beautiful, and most perfect era.

They are all here as well.

Their strength was not comparable to Zhang Dong's, and they could not suppress an era like Zhang Dong. Lin Yuan did not want to cause himself any trouble, so he did not grant them fiefdoms for a period of time.

Instead, they were made Zhang Dong's deputies to help manage that century-long period of time.

As for other eras?
Every era has its own chosen ones, some even reaching the level of Zhang Dong, yet none could withstand the test of time, ultimately vanishing from the world like gods among men.

These people also caused Lin Yuan some minor troubles during the process of imprinting him.

And now, these chosen ones from different eras have also become Lin Yuan's subordinates, serving as... subordinate gods in their fiefdoms for a period of time.

Throughout five thousand years of history, there have been a total of sixty-three subordinate gods who managed each period of the past for Lin Yuan, ensuring the continuation of the Peace Hotel during that time.

As for the future?

Naturally, it will be Lin Yuan who creates it, and in the future, their chosen ones will emerge, who will be able to truly stand before Lin Yuan and be made gods by him, ruling for a period of time!
The Peace Hotel remains bustling with activity.

Even though the world has changed drastically, everyone in this Peace Hotel is still just an ordinary person, without any supernatural powers.

Even vengeful spirits that come here will be transformed into wild beasts.

The only difference is that the Peace Hotel now houses young people dressed in modern clothes as well as people dressed in costumes from various eras.

They came from different times and different pasts, yet they gathered together in the same Peace Hotel.

With its own branch of the Peace Hotel in every era, those who could come here were all geniuses of that time, the kind who could rank among the best in the world.

Countless geniuses exchanged ideas, clashed, and shone brightly at the Peace Hotel.

This is a future created by the collision of wisdom from countless outstanding individuals, and it is also Lin Yuan's most relaxed moment.

Decades later, another gathering takes place. The Peace Hotel is temporarily closed to the public today, but it is something that people of every era clearly understand and deeply yearn for:

Today is a true feast of the gods!
Inside the Peace Hotel, soft music gently filled the air, soothing everyone's mood.

Liu Qingqing, He Yin'er, and Tong Qian were busy in the kitchen with Fang Shiming, while He Yuelian was serving dishes with the King Twins.

There were over sixty people sitting in the hall. They all looked like ordinary young people, not imposing at all, but rather the kind who liked to cosplay. Each person was dressed in clothes from a different era, as if people from every era had come to this gathering.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Although everyone present looked no different from ordinary people, that was only because they were inside the Peace Hotel, where all their power was suppressed and they could not use it.

But once they step outside the Peace Hotel, they become the strongest of their era, the kind that cannot be surpassed.

At the same time, they can also roam freely during their own time. All of this is because they have received Lin Yuan's reward and have been granted a complete period of time as their fiefdom, making them the masters of a certain period of time!

This gathering could easily be described as a feast of the gods.

However, all the gods here become quite ordinary, nothing more.

There was only one person sitting in the main seat, and that was Lin Yuan.

He looked at everyone present with satisfaction, smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Everyone should get together once a year to reward everyone for their hard work throughout the year."

With time as their fiefdom, time should no longer be a unit of measurement for the gods present, but a distance, a distance that can be moved forward or backward.

But as the ruler of all the gods, Lin Yuan set a one-year time limit, so the gods could only follow his rules.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, the Peace Hotel was just an ordinary hotel, but in the eyes of the gods, it was not much different from the legendary Heavenly Court that ruled the three realms.

Lin Yuan is the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court, while they are the subjects of this Heavenly Court, regional officials who govern their respective territories!

"thank you boss."

"Boss, you're too kind. This is what we should do."

"If we're talking about hard work, it has to be the boss. After all, our hours are fixed, and we're just dealing with some unexpected issues. Unlike the boss, who is also responsible for creating the future."

"Speaking of which, the boss's timeline has already been rewritten several decades ago. Could we have one more companion?"

The group chatted amongst themselves, and despite being top figures from different eras, they got along very harmoniously in front of Lin Yuan, without the slightest hint of anger.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Yang, get to know everyone."

A young figure stood up from beside Lin Yuan. It was Yang Jian, but he was no longer the young Yang Jian. Instead, he looked very old, about sixty or seventy years old.

In fact, everyone had already seen Yang Jian when they came in and had already guessed what was going on, but Lin Yuan hadn't introduced him, so everyone could only remain silent and give him friendly looks.

Now, with Lin Yuan's formal introduction, everything naturally became even more lively.

Yang Jian looked at these people calmly, recalling everything he had experienced over the past few decades, as if he were in a dream.

The vengeful spirits have resurrected, turning the human world into a prison!
This was the real world he once thought it was, but now he realizes that everything was actually under control, and there was never true despair in the world.

Because behind everything, there are people like Lin Yuan, and all those present, maintaining peace after each period of time and protecting people of every era.

Now, he has reached this point and is about to become one of these people, and his feelings are very complicated.

"Yang Jian".

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice calm, but everyone present fell silent, their gazes fixed on Lin Yuan as if on a pilgrimage.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was still the same as before, but he gave people an indescribable feeling.

No longer an ordinary person, but rather a living history, a heavy era, a profoundness like the vast universe, is watching over Yang Jian, who is just an ordinary person.

The intense pressure made Yang Jian's breathing heavy.

Fortunately, over the past few decades, he has grown to an extremely formidable level. Faced with this situation, which is not truly targeted, he can hold on, albeit with some difficulty.

Moreover, he knew what was going to happen next, but he did not back down. Instead, he straightened his back and said in a deep voice, "Yang Jian, here!"

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction; he had personally witnessed Yang Jian's growth to this point.

It should be noted that despite having memories from before his transmigration, Lin Yuan did not actually treat Yang Jian with much special treatment; he simply did not intend for Yang Jian to experience the same despair again.

But Yang Jian, as expected of the protagonist of the original work, managed to rise to the top among his peers who also had the advantage of their predecessors, such as Wang Chaling, Zhang Xianguang, and He Yin'er, and became one of the strongest people of the era!

A person like that deserves to become a god.

However, becoming a god represents not only power, but also obligations.

"Yang Jian has rendered meritorious service to the world, and is hereby granted a fiefdom of one hundred years." Lin Yuan spoke slowly, without any grand principles or flowery language.

Just like Lin Yuan himself, he likes simplicity and minimalism.

As he finished speaking, his hand touched Yang Jian's brow. Instantly, a terrifying aura surged into Yang Jian's body, causing him to lose his senses for a brief moment.

At the same time, an indescribable aura emanated from Yang Jian, and Yang Jian's identity began to change under this aura. He quickly transformed from the body of an old man back to his youth, when he was in his senior year of high school.

A weary and listless Yang Jian returns to his youth, to the time when he first entered the supernatural world, or even when he was just entering his senior year of high school—a time full of countless possibilities.

When Yang Jian opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned somewhat scarlet, but they quickly returned to normal.

His gaze swept over everyone present, and he immediately sensed a shared aura emanating from each and every one of them.

Lin Yuan also possessed the same aura, which was both approachable and awe-inspiring.

Lin Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Take a seat. We'll be getting new people here soon, so we'll probably have to wait for dozens or even hundreds more gatherings. I'm really looking forward to it."

Looking forward to it?
maybe.

The group exchanged smiles and continued to laugh.

The party lasted until late at night, and after everyone left and everything settled down, the Peace Hotel returned to the tranquility of the night.

However, the white mist that had surrounded the Peace Hotel had dissipated.

On the contrary, below the Peace Hotel, a dreamlike river flows continuously, representing the river of time.

Lin Yuan stood at the entrance of the Peace Hotel, looking at the scenes of each era reflected in the river, and finally turned his gaze to the very front.

At the forefront was Yang Jian.

Lin Yuan smiled, turned around and entered the Peace Hotel. "The future...it's truly something to look forward to."
