A particle longsword descended from the sky, its terrifying aura ripping through everything. In a matter of seconds, the previously harmonious and quiet atmosphere was shattered. When they saw the appearance of the person wielding the sword, almost everyone present was stunned.

"Ji Xuan?!!!""Me?!!!"

Everyone's gaze shifted repeatedly between Ji Xuan and Xuan Yujun. Ji Xuan, meanwhile, stared blankly at his other self, the shock in his eyes slowly transforming into excitement!! There was no mistake; this was him, time-traveling after using the Higgs boson to open a wormhole! His hypothesis was correct... If others' research directions could transform into abilities, then his Higgs boson should logically have this effect! He would truly gain this power in the future!!

While everyone else was shocked and bewildered by Xuan Yujun's appearance, Chen Ling's expression changed. His gaze followed Xuan Yujun's sword to Lou Yu, who was cloaked in a black raincoat, and his mind raced... Was this person really Wuji Jun himself, and not Lou Yu from this era? Had he been impersonating "Lou Yu" all this time? But why... hadn't he always wanted to kill Wu Tongyuan and the others? If this person truly was Wuji Jun, then he'd had so many opportunities—why hadn't he attacked Wu Tongyuan? No... if he'd wanted to, he could have killed Ji Xuan just now too. After all, Xuan Yujun had been relentlessly pursuing him; wouldn't it have been better to kill his past self and erase his future self? No, that's not right... Xuan Yujun said Wuji Jun killed his own self from this era? Why didn't Wuji Jun himself disappear then? Wouldn't that create a paradox?? Chen Ling's thoughts were in chaos. He found himself increasingly unable to grasp the current situation... And at this moment, the duration of this era archive was also nearing its end.

The tent was split, and wind and rain from the mountains poured into the camp. Wuji Jun's black raincoat flapped around him, but even with Xuan Yujun's longsword pressed against his back, his gaze remained incredibly calm. He gently removed the thick glasses from his nose bridge. Before his eyes, the same countdown was continuing.

"That's right... I killed my formerly weak self," he said slowly. "For him, it was deliverance; for humanity, it was fortune."

Xuan Yujun hadn't expected him to admit it so readily, but he couldn't comprehend Wuji Jun's thoughts, nor the so-called "deliverance" and "fortune." After a brief moment of stunned silence, he spoke again:

"What new scheme do you have?!""I have no scheme.""No scheme? Don't forget, you just tried to kill Wu Tongyuan!""Ji Xuan, people change." The black raincoat gently turned, and those calm eyes fixed on Xuan Yujun. "To you, that was just 'just now'... but to me, that was a considerably long time ago..."

Xuan Yujun, seeing the weariness and melancholy in his eyes, was slightly taken aback.

The countdown for the era archive was about to reach zero. Wuji Jun finally turned to look at Chen Ling, a complex expression appearing in his gaze: "Humanity doesn't need Wuji Jun, nor should Wuji Jun ever exist..."

"Chen Ling..."

"From now on, it's up to you."

Just as Chen Ling was about to say something, several lines of text popped up before his eyes!

No. 129439 Time limit expiredRead interrupted

Chen Ling's consciousness rapidly sank.

In the dark and desolate palace, a figure draped in a large red opera robe suddenly awoke on the throne! He looked down at the era archive in his hand and took a while to come back to his senses...

"Damn it... it always cuts off right at these moments," Chen Ling muttered, annoyed.

Chen Ling hadn't expected Lou Yu to be Wuji Jun, nor had he anticipated Xuan Yujun's sudden descent at the last moment... But what truly puzzled him was Wuji Jun's final words. Humanity doesn't need Wuji Jun? Chen Ling suddenly realized a problem: no matter when a user activated an archive, the initial entry time into the era archive was always the same... And Wuji Jun should have acquired his morality after the demise of the Wuji Realm. Therefore, the Wuji Jun he saw in the era archive was at least from several months in his future. Perhaps this had something to do with Wuji Jun's transformation? At that time, had the Red Star already impacted Earth? Did human civilization still exist? Or... was everything as Wuji Jun had envisioned, that he truly created a super-realm capable of housing all of humanity?

Chen Ling paced endlessly through the vast palace, but no matter how much he racked his brain, it was all just conjecture... If he wanted to ask Wuji Jun for clarification, he would have to wait until he could enter the era archive again, and there were only a few days left until the Red Star's return.

"Forget it, I've done all I can. The rest is up to them..."

"Someone! Bring wine!!"

As little centipedes brought out cups of Five Poisons Wine, the figure in the red opera robe casually took them and drank deeply, tilting his head back. During his time in the Ghost Scorn Abyss, Chen Ling either patrolled his territory, explored rooms, or drank himself into a frenzy. His days were incredibly monotonous... But even more tormenting than boredom was loneliness, and apart from drinking, he truly had no other way to alleviate it. As usual, Chen Ling drank himself into a stupor. After drunkenly performing a "drunken opera" alone in the palace, he stumbled and collapsed onto the cold floor. The little centipedes nearby wanted to help Chen Ling back to his room to sleep, but dared not, and could only wait obediently at a distance.

Time flowed on... Chen Ling remained lying there for another day and night. Finally, it was Wu Yi, who had been tasked with excavating and reshaping the terrain outside the Ghost Scorn Abyss, who returned and carried Chen Ling on his back to his soft bed. Seeing Chen Ling's state, Wu Yi helplessly shook its head. It had followed Chen Ling since the Integration Faction and knew that its king's demeanor outside the Ghost Scorn Abyss was completely different from his decadent, self-abandoning state within it. Yet, it was powerless to do anything... It couldn't very well suggest to its king, "If you're really bored, why don't we go wander around the human realm?"

Just as Wu Yi was about to leave, it suddenly seemed to sense something and sharply turned its head towards the direction of the king's room... A world-destroying aura surged in the air. A storm of thought emerged from the void, directly engulfing its sleeping king, dragging his consciousness from his body and sweeping it away towards some unknown direction!

Wu Yi let out a sharp shriek!
