I'm too lazy to respond to every individual comment that wants spoilers soooooo...
Basically, there are three timelines. The SECOND Timeline was created by CEJ from Timeline One. The THIRD AND CURRENT timeline was created by LSY from TIMELINE TWO.
Now, you may be asking, Trish, why did they create these timelines??
My love, buckle up and pick up some tissues, you'll need them.
IN TIMELINE ONE, LSY does NOT awaken. This is because J never went in that fuck ass West Sea Rift, so J looked after LSY and never left his side, eventually leading to them living together, so Sayoung never awakened. However, the apocalypse does occur, and the people who are attacked first are non-awakened civilians...To get straight to the point, Lee Sayoung dies...J literally can't function after that, so he created a watch that reverses time, and the time reversal created the second timeline. The timeline where he could try again to save his love ;-; (lwk giving lu guang from linkclick)
Onto Timeline TWO, now, this was the part where I was sobbing and literally gasping for air, because it was a thousand times worse than the first timeline, like I would rather get stabbed than have to repeat all of this, but for you guys, I'm willing to remember it... grab your tissues~
In this timeline, everything that we've seen so far happens (J going to the west fucking sea rift, sayoung being tested on, sayoung awakening etc.), so basically we can assume that timeline TWO and THREE are basically repeating events. What's happening in timeline TWO is happening in timeline THREE, but thats not good...In case you didn't know, those '8 years' J spent in the rift, he ran out of food supply, so eventually he and his colleagues had to eat the monster they killed, and obviously the monsters blood was still on their flesh right? Well... J discovered that the monsters blood wasn't something a human or hunter should consume...eventually one of their comrades turned into the rift monsters and J discovered that it was due to them eating the flesh of the monsters, but what could he do? He couldn't stop them from eating, they were literally starving to death (my poor baby :c). Eventually, all his comrades died, and he survived. But the logic still applies. J consumed the monsters' blood. He was slowly mutating...he was becoming a monster. The worst part? He knew, Sayoung knew, Sayoung couldn't do anything; he had to watch the person he loved slowly lose all their senses and turn into the creature they hated more than anything (J's mutation took longer due to his strength and power as the greatest). Btw when the mutation starts, the hair is the first thing to turn white...We saw in the early chapters that when J left the rift, his hair was already white, suggesting that his mutation had started while he was in the rift...fuck my life fuck you guys too. Let me rub salt on your wound, J literally can't walk properly, it hurts to walk. He was only 28/29.
In the end, when the apocalypse came, J being the sacrificial bitch he is, decided to throw himself towards the swarm of monsters to buy everyone time. THIS IS THE FIRST FRAGMENT GAEUL SAW IN THE EARLY CHAPTERS WHERE J WAS IN ALL BLACK, HALF OF HIS MASK WAS MISSING AND HE WAS SMILING, that was his last smile before he went to kill the monsters, and died... Sayoung found the watch that CEJ from Timeline ONE used and reversed time.
POOF, we're on the THIRD and CURRENT timeline. Now something creepy happened, because LSY from TIMELINE TWO managed to get to Gaeul from TIMELINE THREE. (yes the shady figure that pulled gaeul was TIMELINE TWO LEE SAYOUNG. He is aware that there is a third timeline, but he's aware that everything happening in the THIRD timeline is following the same structure as TIMELINE TWO. He's not that bad. He just wants to save his hyung this time. He wants to save J. He has to.
The timeline that TIMELINE THREE or OUR J has gone to in chapter 69 is TIMELINE ONE, where LSY is written to die...rip
ANDDDDDDDD CUT. thats it. bye. hope you cried. BEFORE YOU START SWEARING AT ME CHA EUIJAE AND LEE SAYOUNG KISS IN LIKE 3-6 CHAPTERS SO JUST WAIT LIKE 3-6 WEEKS AND YOU'LL GET A MUTUALLLLLLLL KISS.

Hello
......
I'm not so sure but I think you mix up some of the info on the third line and second, Prometheus wasn't on the second timeline, this is also mentioned my master artisan since he's the one who mix j watch, he told j that this third timeline was weird. 1st timeline j solely bare the price on created timeline 2 but because of that j body on timeline two is weak, and as the end nearer his body can't handle the progress of mutation and yeah he basically throw himself to the monster and died. Sayoung never knew j was mutating and all, this is why he got depressed on why j did that, he never knew that j was also scared at that time.
Because j now gone, as well as the other like Mateo and jungbin too also the doctor too, master artisan, gaeul and sayoung decided to make the third timeline but since they're not as powerful as j, sayoung decided to be the shackle of the world two continuesly wondering on the waste land preventing the world 2&3 to merge. And this is how the west sea rift is born as well as how Prometheus created. Since the this Prometheus claims they can see the world ends it's actually just the linking memories from world two.
This is what I'm remembering... Ugh, I'm gonna reread this after in done with ORV. But yeah do correct me if I got it wrong
Aso, 3rd j and 3rd sayoung writing with each other from different is so cuteeeee! I just need to mention this hahaha
Beware for spoiler for people who havnt read the novel :>. I cant remember fully but when J and and lee sayoung are in the dungeon for timeline two, doesnt J ask lee sayoung to kill him before he mutates or was that from the dongeon where J lost all his powers and was growing weak? I swear there was a scene somewhere where J asks Leesayoung to kill him ToT
...I hate to say this, gorgeous, but your spoiler warning is way too brief ;-;
To answer your question, though:

I believe I was just re-reading some of the novel and timeline THREE LSY and CEJ get stuck in timeline 2 LSY's memories. CEJ's body starts becoming like timeline 2 CEJ's body, since they are the same people, just time reversed and all. In that timeline, CEJ's body is weak, mainly due to the mutation process. Since they were stuck in a memorial dungeon, only their souls had been pulled, so their bodies were still in their THIRD TIMELINE. Eventually, THIRD timeline CEJ stabs himself to break the memorial dungeon and escape back to his timeline, but LSY has to see CEJ stab himself, and he holds CEJ's body as well...
I'm not too sure if timeline 2 CEJ asks timeline 2 LSY to kill him before the mutation, but it's quite likely he did...
Great I'm gonna go cry now :/
Now on to the next room: the room where all the novel readers cried when they saw Lee Sayoung in chapter 69. If you try to ask them what happened, they curl up and start crying even harder! Apparently, seeing 240J be all cozy made them remember what happened in that timeline. Upon further investigation, we found out that they keep murmuring "timeline 1", may they find peace and happiness one day...
And that's basically how I felt reading this chapter, I couldn't stop crying because I remembered what happened!!
Don't listen to 'ghostin' by ariana, you're basically begging to cry...
feel free to ask me questions~ and thank you sevv <3

timeline 1 CEJ and LSY never separated line timeline 3, and sayoung never awakened because he never had a wish he truly yearned for since he has always had CEJ with him and living together with him ;-;... but then... the apocalypse approached and the first to die are ... non-awakened ones...
btw this is where everything starts to go downhill…can’t wait for the suffering to take place, at least the art will comfort us?
So...let's just say that this memorial arc is basically the foundation of the angst :D
(as in from chapter 70 onwards it gets painful, and from ch 80 onwards...well, you would start to wish you didn't touch this manhwa~ and well it doesn't get better...at all, maybe we'll get happiness/comedy somewhere around manhwa ch 130+?)





I'm feeling a bit happy right now, so what better way to turn that smile into a frown by reading the novel? :D
Now iirc, this is what timeline 2 LSY wrote in a book (similar to a diary):
"Sometimes, he would tell stories about how he used to play soccer every lunch break at his middle school, which no longer exists. He claimed he was quite a good striker and that everybody wanted to be on his team because he always won bets. He said eating ice cream after the games was the best part. Whenever I listened, I tried to picture a younger Cha Eui-Jae, healthy and running around on the field."
Great! I'm in tears, uh I hope you lot are too <3
if you couldn't tell I'm a masochist who does this to herself quite often (every day)
I just know y'all love me so so much >3<
