Book 5: Chapter 6: World Reset?

Book 5: Chapter 6: World Reset?

“Then, Ancestor, can you revive all those dead ancestors?” Right now, Chen Heng felt great anticipation. After all, this was a transcender. Although he did not understand the significance of being a transcender, a transcender must be very incredible. He wondered if a transcender could reverse time. This was especially so for his parents; he really wanted to meet them again.

“Although reversing time is very difficult and would cause great harm to the world, I was initially capable of that. However, I don’t know how much I could have reversed. In any case, reversing it to the time I left would have been impossible. At best, I could do a century. But…”

“But what?” If the person before him were not his ancestor, Chen Heng would have slapped this person. Why do you have to leave me in suspense like that?

“But your little girlfriend self-detonated her time crystal core, resetting time and fixing the furthest point of time reversal to the moment of her re:life. If I forcibly reversed time, time would erode this world, riddling it with holes.” Chen Xiu glanced at Luo Li as he drank tea.

At Chen Xiu’s glance, fear flashed in the fearless and normally expressionless Luo Li’s eyes. Although she was not afraid of death, she did not want to die. She had returned to a time when Chen Heng existed after much difficulty.

“Ancestor, actually, Luo Li…” Although Chen Heng did not expect this result, Luo Li self-detonated because of him. So…

“Don’t worry. Your ancestor is not some murderous demon who kills at the drop of a hat. Although I cannot reverse time because of her self-detonation, I am a reasonable person. I know why she did it. Furthermore, this is also a good thing for you. If I reverse time to 100 years ago, you might not exist. By then, the 86th inheritor might not be you. Fate is a very strange thing. Moreover, even if I could reverse time to before your parents’ deaths, wouldn’t that be unfair to your parents’ reincarnations if your parents had already reincarnated?” Chen Xiu continued drinking the tea Chen Heng brewed for him, not intending to make a move.

“Ancestor, many thanks for understanding. Also, Ancestor, she is not my girlfriend. She is still a child.” Chen Heng thought about what his ancestor had said. Indeed, if everything had to happen again, he might not be born to his parents. After all, birthing a child was an issue of probability.

That is to say, I have to thank Luo Li?

“Child? What makes you think she is a child? Although the world reset and you did not keep your memories, she kept hers. If you really take age into consideration, her mental age is similar to yours.”

“The world reset? Kept her memories?” This combination of attacks stunned Chen Heng. This differed from his guess about the world. Furthermore, the difference was huge.

“Yes. If I guess right, Heng`er thinks this young lady re:lived, right?”

“Isn’t...isn’t that so?” At least Chen Heng had thought so before his ancestor said that.

“No, no, no. Your little girlfriend—ah, no—your younger sister is even more ruthless than you thought. She self-detonated and used the bug that is the system to sacrifice her potential and quickly develop her time crystal core. Then she reset the entire world’s time. That is to say, your Precognition, erm…that’s its name, right? You truly experienced everything you saw in your Precognition. However, you have no memory of it. The only ones with memories of it are this young lady and the child called Mo Qingtong. Speaking of which, that is quite strange. Mo Qingtong should be the main character of this world, right? This young lady is pretty good, a ruthless one. I like her. Come, this is for you. Take it as a small gift from this ancestor.”

Chen Heng’s ancestor found Luo Li pleasing and expressed his approval in his speech. Then he took out a bell from his sleeve and tossed it to her.

How could one reject something given by an elder? Furthermore, this fear of rejection was an extreme fear.

“This is an enchanted treasure I found lying outside a world when I wandered the dimensional sea. It seems to be called the Primal Chaos Bell. It possesses a solid defense and contains the time Dao. It is suitable for recovering your time ability.”

“Many thanks, Ancestor.” Luo Li endured the fear in her heart and thanked Chen Xiu.

“…Then, Ancestor, is there really no way to revive my parents?” Chen Heng still did not want to give up.

“It’s not impossible. Your parents died fairly recently, so their souls might not have reincarnated yet. Although it is impossible to reverse time in this world, it is simple to reverse death.” Chen Xiu poured himself another cup of tea after finishing the tea in his cup. He mentioned a taboo like reviving the dead as if talking about going out for a meal.

“Thank you very much, Ancestor. Oh, right, Ancestor, where’s our Chen Clan’s ancestral crystal? Also, is my parents’ killer alive?”

“I casually smashed that person to death. Back then, I was furious and forgot to leave him for you. I have also retrieved the crystal. Furthermore, I used the crystal as a medium to kill anyone who tried to use it. Everyone involved is dead.”

As Chen Xiu spoke, he took out a rhombus-shaped crystal with two extremely sharp points and placed it on the side table.

Actually, Chen Heng had been planning to retrieve the crystal personally after his trip to Arknights’s world. He had received the Will Energy from his ancestor and the ability third awakening, significantly increasing his strength. He now felt confident of taking his revenge.

Who could have imagined that before he could take action, his ancestor had already casually crushed his enemy?

Chen Heng looked at that crystal. There was no mistaking it; this was the ancestral crystal his ancestor made. He had seen it in his father’s hand several times when he was young; it had left a deep impression. Furthermore, he had retrieved this crystal before he died in the future, so there was no mistaking it.

“That’s right. I altered the crystal. After all, I made it when I had just become a transcender; it would be hard to avoid having some flaws in it. That’s why I strengthened it. As for how to use it, just infuse your Will Energy into the crystal, and you will know.”

“Got it, Ancestor.”
