Hui Tian Ch116

Chapter 116

The Final Battle

——Half an hour ago, in the hospital basement.

Blood foam kept gushing from Chu Yan’s mouth, and the left side of her upper body was twisted into a horrific shape due to fractures. Shui Ronghua knelt beside the girl, her white coat stained with red, desperately pressing down on her abdominal wound. “Hold on, don’t be afraid! Hold on!”

Bang bang bang bang bang! Bang!!

A series of earth-shattering crashes echoed. Yang Xiaodao, dragging Shunsuke Noda with one hand, smashed through seven or eight walls like cannonballs, finally shattering a load-bearing wall into pieces!

Dust filled the air, and rubble poured down like a waterfall. Amid the chaos, the two ground the bricks beneath them into powder. Yang Xiaodao, like a crazed lion, rained iron fists on Shunsuke Noda’s chest and neck. The latter crossed his arms to protect his head and face; his ferocity was pushed to the limit. Suddenly, he swung his elbow, hitting Yang Xiaodao’s temple and making the boy’s head jerk to the side.

In a flash, Shunsuke Noda grabbed a fire axe from the wall and swung it down on Yang Xiaodao, knocking him over!

“…Your drug’s effect must be wearing off.” Shunsuke Noda, covered in blood, shook his head forcefully to regain clarity and panted as he struggled to get up from the ground. “Relying on drugs to reach your peak, how much longer can you last?”

The axe had struck Yang Xiaodao under the ribs, exposing bone through the torn flesh. The boy clutched the wound, barely propping himself up, his eyes filled with a vicious bloodshot glare fixed on Noda.

Stop this man. I must stop this man.

The strange pain of DNA strands tearing surged from his organs; he knew the serum’s effect was about to end—

“Supervisor Shen suggested that this box of serum should only be used as a last resort in emergencies, and at most, only one dose should be administered.” Bai Sheng’s words echoed in his ears again. Although he had phrased it as a suggestion, his unusually stern tone was clearly a warning: “How you use it is up to you, but I hope you consider it carefully, because the backlash after the drug’s effect wears off might be fatal for minors.”

—Might be fatal.

So I must stop this man before the backlash hits; I absolutely must not let him open the space tunnel!

With a rumbling crash, Yang Xiaodao recklessly lunged at Shunsuke Noda. The two collided, bringing down a concrete pillar. The inertia created tons of force, causing rebar and large chunks of concrete to rain down.

“I’ll kill you!!”

Shunsuke Noda roared in fury, raising the fire axe to strike Yang Xiaodao’s neck, but at that moment—

Bang!

Shunsuke Noda dodged, the bullet hitting the axe handle, making him drop it.

“Don’t move!”

Shunsuke Noda glanced over; it was Shui Ronghua, holding a gun with both hands.

Murderous intent surged in him as he flung a wave of invisible force, pushing the female doctor away, then reached out, clenching his fingers to choke Chu Yan from afar!

Shunsuke Noda’s only rule was not to kill women and young girls, but Chu Yan had just killed his sister before his eyes. Even if Mr. Rong could resurrect Yoko Noda, he believed in an eye for an eye. Just as he was about to crush Chu Yan’s throat, his right leg was suddenly grabbed and stabbed.

“Damn you—”

Yang Xiaodao, lying on the ground, had stabbed a sharp piece of glass into Shunsuke Noda’s ankle. Without turning his head, he shouted at Shui Ronghua, “Run!”

Ignoring the possibility of worsening Chu Yan’s internal injuries, Shui Ronghua carried her and staggered into the fire escape, heading for the hospital lobby on the first floor.

Shunsuke Noda kicked Yang Xiaodao away, trying to chase after them, but the boy, now a bloodied mess, lunged at him again. The two rolled on the ground, clawing at each other’s eyes and throats, roaring in fury.

Thump, thump, Yang Xiaodao’s heart beat faster and faster.

Time was running out.

The drug’s effect was quickly waning, and the backlash surged, tearing at his organs more and more intensely.

I can’t give up; I must hold on—

Shunsuke Noda was pinned to the ground, his vision darkening, desperately reaching for the fire axe nearby. Yang Xiaodao, with a final roar, tore a fire extinguisher from the wall and smashed it down on Shunsuke Noda’s head.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!—

Teeth flew, blood and flesh splattered, and the iron canister was deformed by the impact. Shunsuke Noda collapsed into the blood pool as Yang Xiaodao raised the fire extinguisher for one last blow to his head!

But at that moment, the clock struck zero, and a lightning-like pain shot through his chest.

The 40-minute drug effect ended, and the backlash began.

His entire DNA chain broke apart, his organs started bleeding, and a massive amount of mixed internal fragments spewed from the boy’s mouth!

The fire extinguisher clattered to the ground, rolling away. Internal bleeding filled Yang Xiaodao’s ears, nose, and even his retina.

Noda Shunsuke had been hit by the fire extinguisher and had a concussion. His eyes were black and he felt dizzy. He suddenly got up and knocked Yang Xiaodao over. He groped for the fire  axe with both hands:

“I’ll kill you, you little bastard—”

The scene was beyond gruesome.

Shunsuke Noda couldn’t even see  the axe blade or the back of the axe. He could only use his last breath to chop down on Yang Xiaodao, once, twice, and in the dark, he didn’t know how many times he hit him. Finally, he knocked Yang Xiaodao to the ground. His back was torn apart with blood and flesh, revealing his white bones.

Clang.

The axe clattered to the ground as Shunsuke Noda turned and staggered towards the stairwell.

If not for Yang Xiaodao, he would have opened the space tunnel and returned to Mr. Rong 40 minutes ago, giving Bai Sheng no chance to play any tricks.

He had been delayed too long and now had to rush out of the nullification range without wasting a second!

Behind him lay a battlefield of carnage, Yang Xiaodao’s mutilated body convulsed.

There was no need for Shunsuke Noda to act; the severe backlash was almost fatal, with massive internal bleeding spreading to every organ.

Am I dying?

His soul seemed to float, then sink into a dark abyss, his consciousness growing fainter.

If I sleep, it won’t hurt, he thought.

Yang Xiaodao slowly closed his eyes, but just before he drifted into unconsciousness, a scene from deep in his memory resurfaced—

“Bai Sheng told me you took an entire box of serum?”

It was a few days ago when news came that the North African base had been invaded. Shen Zhuo and Bai Sheng set out for rescue. Just before boarding the plane on the tarmac, Shen Zhuo suddenly asked him a question.

“…” Yang Xiaodao absentmindedly nodded, thinking he would again emphasize the dangers of backlash, but then Shen Zhuo stopped and looked at him intently:

“Are you still brooding over not defeating Shunsuke Noda last time and needing me to protect you to escape?”

Yang Xiaodao was stunned.

Immediately, the embarrassment of the juvenile being exposed surged up, and he turned his head to look at the ground. “No, no.”

Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, then chuckled softly.

Supervisor Shen rarely teases like this, making Yang Xiaodao uncomfortable. He shrank his neck and was about to look up at the sky when Shen Zhuo leaned in and gave him a firm and strong hug.

Like a leader of the wolf pack embracing a nearly grown younger member, close, trusting, and full of encouragement.

“Listen to me, Yang Xiaodao.”

“Bai Sheng is my partner, comrade, and family. You and Chu Yan hold the same significance to me as family. Protecting you in critical moments is my duty; otherwise, it would be a dereliction of my responsibilities as your guardian. There’s no need to brood over it.”

“…” Yang Xiaodao mumbled, “But I…”

“I only have one request for you,” Shen Zhuo interrupted him.

“In the future, when you decide to use the serum, think clearly about what you are risking your life to pursue, whether all the sacrifices and efforts are worthwhile, and then think of Bai Sheng and me.”

“We just want you to come back safely; do you understand?”

“…I understand,” Yang Xiaodao murmured.

But I will always follow you. I have already decided on this path to pursue with my life.

The battered boy curled up in a pool of blood, slowly closing his eyes, his breathing stopping.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot and trembling, pulling out a metal box branded with HRG from his pocket. He opened it, took out a second dose of serum, and fiercely injected it into his arm vein!

The powerful gene enhancer instantly filled his body, pausing the side effects of the previous dose. The backlash was forcibly stopped, and when the second dose wore off, the backlash would double—that would be another 40 minutes later.

The pain was unbearable; every nerve in his body screamed for release, but Yang Xiaodao gasped heavily as he got up from the ground, like a dying beast making a last desperate charge.

He couldn’t let Shunsuke Noda escape; he still had the luck ability unused; he couldn’t die here!

·

The battle upstairs had just ended. The lobby was filled with thick smoke, and the corpses of Inspector from Shenhai Supervision Office and Rong Qi’s men lay scattered everywhere.

With a bang, the fire door slammed against the wall. Shunsuke Noda staggered over the corpses, and several panicked subordinates rushed over, “Brother! How are you?” “What’s going on down there?” “What do we do now?”

“Go!” Shunsuke Noda strode towards the glass doors. “We’ve been tricked. Quickly return to Mr. Rong!”

The jamming device only covered the hospital building. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they could immediately open the space tunnel. Shunsuke Noda stumbled towards the door, but just then, a gust of wind surged from behind, and a pair of bloodied arms wrapped tightly around his neck, almost choking him to death on the spot.

—It was Yang Xiaodao!

Why is he here again?

Why isn’t he dead yet?!

At that moment, Shunsuke Noda could only think of the phrase “haunted by a ghost”. Terrified, he rolled over, and the two crashed to the ground. A subordinate rushed to help but was caught off guard as Yang Xiaodao grabbed his neck and snapped it with a crisp crack; the body fell limp, then Yang Xiaodao hurled it with all his strength, knocking down the second subordinate who rushed over, sending him rolling into the rubble.

“You want to go find that guy Rong?” Yang Xiaodao squeezed Noda’s neck with all his might and punched him frantically. “Go ahead, take me with you if you dare, go!!”

It was impossible to tell whose blood and flesh were flying and whose bones were being shattered. Yang Xiaodao’s abdominal wound, which had stopped bleeding due to the powerful self-healing of the second serum, tore open again under his frenzied blows, gushing fresh blood.

The violent assault left Shunsuke Noda unable to fight back, his nose and mouth bleeding, his eardrums ruptured, and his chest bones cracking under the iron fists. A heavy blow to his eye socket made his eyeball burst with a splat!

“F*ck you—!”

The pain drove Shunsuke Noda insane. He couldn’t believe a minor was pushing him to such a state. The last subordinate finally arrived, an A-class evolutionist, who threw himself at Yang Xiaodao, dragging him backward and screaming at Shunsuke Noda, “Go! I’ll hold him off. Go!!”

The chaos was indescribable. Shunsuke Noda could barely stand, crawling towards the hospital door, hearing Yang Xiaodao’s roar behind him, “Get lost!”

Yang Xiaodao’s explosive power was something even an A-class couldn’t withstand. He flung the subordinate aside and lunged at Shunsuke Noda mid-air!

—In that same second.

The subordinate, using his last breath, pressed his hands to the ground and activated his strongest ability, gravity inversion.

With a thunderous rumble, the ten-story hospital building collapsed.

The sky fell, the ground caved in, and rubble rained like a waterfall. Shunsuke Noda tumbled down the door steps, tearing open a huge tunnel that was twenty meters long and four or five meters wide.

In the sky, Rong Qi arrived just then!

Bai Sheng cried out, “—Yang Xiaodao!”

Everyone gathered, watching as Yang Xiaodao flew out of the collapsing building, screaming hysterically, and in mid-air, he grabbed Shunsuke Noda from behind, twisting his neck with all his might:

Crack!

The sound of the neck breaking was so faint, yet it clearly reached Shunsuke Noda’s ears.

It was the last sound he heard in his life.

This evolutionist, almost at the peak of A-class, who had committed countless murders, couldn’t believe he was killed by a boy until the moment of his death.

Shunsuke Noda’s corpse fell with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, Rong Qi had already rushed into the space tunnel like a meteor, and the entrance shrank mid-air with the death of the one who cast it!

Rong Qi’s figure suddenly disappeared, the lightning chasing behind him missed, crashing into the ground with a thunderous explosion, sending debris flying everywhere. The huge inertia almost made Bai Sheng crash into the steps. “Damn it!”

Yang Xiaodao, covered in blood, knelt on the ground. Hearing the noise, he turned his head, his face changing instantly.

Shunsuke Noda was dead, Rong Qi had escaped, and the whole place was a scene of devastation and rolling smoke. No one knew where the exit of the space tunnel was now.

They were just a split second too late. Bai Sheng, with his blood boiling, was about to curse when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned to see Shen Zhuo with a stern expression:

“What’s the maximum speed you can achieve with aerial movement?”

Bai Sheng was taken aback. “What are you planning…” Then he followed Shen Zhuo’s gaze and immediately understood.

In the distance of the city, a small black dot was appearing in the high-altitude clouds—a familiar armed helicopter!

“Don’t worry, there’s still time.” Shen Zhuo patted the blood-covered Yang Xiaodao on the back, planted his long spear into the ground with a bang, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. “The next opponent for that guy Rong is me.”

A hurricane erupted from beneath his feet, reversing the timeline!

In the blink of an eye, time rewound 10 seconds, and the scene before them changed abruptly:

On the steps in front of the hospital, Shunsuke Noda was falling to his death, and the dark tunnel tore open in mid-air again.

Rong Qi rushed towards the tunnel entrance once more, but in that split second, a figure holding a longbow descended like a god—it was Shen Zhuo!

——Rong Qi’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Swoosh.

Shen Zhuo’s fingers were released, and the arrow shot through the wind, grazing Rong Qi’s cheek at a precise angle.

A thin line of blood flew up, like a slow-motion scene in a movie stretched infinitely.

The last image imprinted on Rong Qi’s retina was the arrow brushing Shen Zhuo’s hair, his elegant features calm and unmoved, silently mouthing two words:

“It’s over.”

Mental suppression was activated!

It was a total, absolute suppression ability, leaving no room for resistance. Rong Qi’s mind went blank, his movements frozen in mid-air.

Two seconds later, he snapped out of it, but Shunsuke Noda’s neck had already been snapped, and the space tunnel was closing!

Rong Qi’s face changed dramatically. Desperate, he lunged towards the tunnel entrance, just as a spinning black and white shadow approached—the Tai Chi Shield arrived.

The Tai Chi Shield, an A-class barrier ability, the ultimate nemesis of space tunnels, with no cooldown period.

The series of coordinated actions was precise to the extreme.

The moment time rewound, Bai Sheng had blown up the armed helicopter, moving swiftly to grab Yue Yang, who had been thrown out of the cabin by the explosion. Like a gust of wind, he swooped down, deploying the Tai Chi Shield with impeccable timing!

The tunnel entrance collapsed entirely, and Rong Qi crashed headfirst to the ground. The huge inertia sent him sliding more than twenty meters, smashing all the rubble along the way into powder.

Yue Yang, slung over Bai Sheng’s shoulder, still had a shocked expression from the moment the helicopter exploded.

Then Bai Sheng swung him off, “Don’t let that bastard Rong get away!!”

Caught off guard, Yue Yang almost fell flat on his face. At the last moment, he reacted quickly, deploying four Tai Chi shields in a flash, black and white intertwining, blocking Rong Qi from all sides.

Taking advantage of that momentary block, Bai Sheng flew in like lightning, the impact and inertia collapsing the broken wall. His steely fingers clamped down on Rong Qi’s throat: “——Yang Xiaodao!!”

Yang Xiaodao, battered and bruised, leaned against Shen Zhuo’s leg. All the luck accumulated over sixteen years of turbulent life condensed into a hazy substance, and at this moment, the boy unleashed it all, placing it at the gleaming tip of Bai Sheng’s finger.

Finally, once again, Rong Qi was at the end of his rope, the deadly light of causality reflected in his eyes.

“…Even if you wipe me out, you can’t erase all sources of evolution in the universe.” Rong Qi, his face covered in blood, panted, looking past Bai Sheng at Shen Zhuo. “Humanity’s desire for evolution has persisted for billions of years. As long as Earth develops higher-dimensional civilizations in the future, perhaps I can still bring the source of evolution from another timeline. Disaster will never leave you.”

He laughed, his dark eyes chilling, hoarsely saying each word, “Disaster will never leave you.”

With a bang, Bai Sheng punched him to the ground without mercy. Shen Zhuo, holding his spear, said calmly, “Then try, Rong Qi. You can come back countless times, and each time, someone will stand up to fight you to the end. Even if it’s not me, even if it’s not the second-generation HRG, even if everyone fighting you today has turned to bones in the future.”

The spear’s radiant glow reflected in his eyes, as cold and unmoved as ice. “This is the human civilization you don’t understand.”

Bai Sheng lifted Rong Qi by the throat, wiggling his finger imbued with causality mockingly, and with a broad smile, gave the final verdict:

“Go to hell, loser.”

The immense luck accompanied by the power of causality spread out in unprecedented golden brilliance, engulfing all of Rong Qi’s vision.

Simultaneously, a storm rose from beneath Shen Zhuo’s feet, spreading out in a radius of thousands of kilometers and roaring through time and space!

An unprecedented timeline reversal began.

Skyscrapers, Asian lands, and even the vast Pacific Ocean were shattered into billions of fragments, spreading through the rotating sky and earth.

At the North Sea Meteorite Base:

Hundreds of evolutionists’ corpses piled up into mountains. Amatullah sat on the ground, holding the dying Margot in her arms, her back against the exhausted Antonio, and looking up at the beautiful changing time and space outside the eye of the storm.

Thousands of kilometers away:

In the UN EHPBC building, Cameron stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, impeccably dressed in a suit, his gray-green eyes reflecting the collapsing sky, rushing from the horizon to meet him in an instant.

“I am proud of you, brother.” Cameron murmured.

Three seconds later, he expressionlessly added:

“…and your car-racing, hair-dyeing, non-mainstream philosophy boyfriend.”

The temporal storm engulfed the entire Earth in an instant!

It was a magnificent spectacle never before seen in the Milky Way galaxy.

In the universe, an invisible giant clock wound backwards, emitting a vast, silent roar. Stars shifted back to their original positions, and the divine light of creation erupted in a flood, obliterating all time, space, and matter into fragments!

Shen Zhuo gripped the Spear of Time, the giant clock hand using him as the center, slowly and powerfully reversing—

The first circle.

Outside, the plains were ravaged by cold winds, all transforming into quiet, minute points of light. By the fireplace in the room, Bai Sheng raised a ring, his eyes reflecting a gentle glow: “I love you, Shen Zhuo. Will you let me become yours from now on?”

The second circle.

The Tyrant’s pheromones struck Southeast Asia for the first time, under a dark sky, the remains of three S-class invaders were horrifying. Shen Zhuo looked at the sea of people kneeling like waves, his expression cold and unreadable, while Bai Sheng’s supreme command echoed across the Asian continent:

The old king is dead, the new king shall rise.

“——Global evolution cannot be changed, but I am the tyrant who defies the natural order.”

The third circle.

In the ultra S-class ability daydream, the raging fire extinguished, all the horrors vanished. Bai Sheng knelt on the ground, leaning in Shen Zhuo’s embrace, time carrying his heart-wrenching sobs to the sky: “I can’t do it, I tried so hard… I really can’t do it…”

“Only the strong will always have compassion for the weak, go back.” Shen Zhuo lowered his head, pressing his cold lips to Bai Sheng’s forehead, gentle and soothing, then fell into the dark abyss: “This is my battlefield alone.”

“…Shen Zhuo?”

The second layer of the dream revealed an apocalyptic scene. Bai Sheng was utterly shocked, throwing himself into the abyss, tearing through the magnificent thunder: “Come back, Shen Zhuo!!——”

The fourth circle.

A plane landed at Shenhai Airport, and several hijackers were thrown to the ground in a terrible state. The new S-class evolutionist was young, arrogant, and rebellious, looking down at the chief supervisor fastening his buttons with a sneer: “Is this the reason why you are globally renowned for your unfriendliness towards evolutionists, Chief Supervisor Shen Zhuo?”

Shen Zhuo did not respond, fastening the last button under Bai Sheng’s collar, stepping back half a step, his demeanor calm and distant without any trace of emotion:

“Follow the law, do not commit crimes.”

“The sudden evolution of abilities is a disaster for every ordinary person.”

The sun and moon rose and fell; day and night alternated.

The clock hand spun faster and faster, the energy within Shen Zhuo surged rapidly, and a wave of blood rushed up his throat!

“…The substance known as the source of evolution, once spread, will cause irreversible consequences, national territories will cease to exist, social order will be destroyed…”

Five years ago, at the United Nations hearing, Shen Zhuo stood at the center of all controversy and questioning, enduring ten hours of high-intensity debate without a trace of evasion, his figure thin and straight as an arrow:

“I call on all governments to surrender the sources of evolution and destroy them collectively to eliminate future troubles; otherwise, within a century, humanity will inevitably face an unprecedented racial war.”

“Your doomsday theory has no basis!” “Dr. Shen, we have substantial evidence to suspect you are driven by personal interests!” “Absurd!” “Greedy!” “We will apply for a thorough investigation into Dr. Shen’s personal assets and social connections!”

…

The few supporters were overwhelmed, replaced by a torrent of attacks, arguments and accusations dense as rain, and countless indignant faces receded from Shen Zhuo’s sight, turning into a blurred, pale background.

Through it all, he saw the distant burning war and the precarious future.

“…In that case,” Shen Zhuo heard his own hoarse voice, each word clear, “I request the establishment of meteorite bases in all countries.”

“The HRG Laboratory will unconditionally provide all research results, assisting in the establishment of lead-sealed high-pressure chambers to isolate the sources of evolution to nuclear weapon standards.”

“Before the class divide becomes insurmountable, I request the meteorites be strictly sealed to maintain racial balance for at least another century.”

From that moment, the long journey began at Shen Zhuo’s feet.

It was the path the first generation of HRG could not complete, leading to a solitary, destined death, a shattered end.

·

In the center of the time-space storm, Shen Zhuo finally knelt forward in exhaustion.

Years of extensive reversal had drained all his energy, hot blood spilling from his clenched teeth, soaking his clothes, the pain in his organs excruciating.

But it was not enough.

If he looked up at that moment, he would see that the timeline had been reversed to the eve of the meteor shower five years ago, just a moment away —

His heart pounded to the brink of breaking, when a warm, familiar embrace came from behind. Bai Sheng kneeled down, wrapping his arms tightly around Shen Zhuo’s hand holding the gun.

“…It’s okay, don’t be afraid.” Bai Sheng’s voice had a strange tremor, his chin rubbing against Shen Zhuo’s blood-soaked cheek, “don’t be afraid.”

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only they remained, holding each other tightly, inseparably.

“You can go back to any time, you can walk this path to wherever you want.” Bai Sheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, his voice hoarse: “If you die, I’ll just join you, our ashes mixed and scattered into the sea.”

“Thousands of years later, when we meet again, we’ll still walk the same path.”

Shen Zhuo could no longer support his body, his cold forehead pressed against Bai Sheng’s, and he smiled faintly one last time:

“Alright.”

He suddenly exerted his strength, driving the Spear of Time deep into the earth!

With the last ounce of his life force exhausted, evolution finally returned to its unbegun starting point; the meteorites that descended on Earth that deep night five years ago all reversed course, dragging countless magnificent tails of flame, and plunged into the vast, boundless space.

All foreign objects would ultimately leave Earth.

Italdo’s spirit appeared in midair, her form reverting to the Valkyrie who first visited Earth, smiling as she pressed a hand over Shen Zhuo’s heart:

“Thank you, humans.”

She bowed slightly to Shen Zhuo and Bai Sheng one last time, then instantly disappeared into the night sky; the entire time-space storm of the universe retracted all at once!

The time reversal stopped abruptly.

The five years of reversed space-time were thus severed, like a lone boat drifting toward the countless parallel universes of creation.

As if thrown high into the void, Shen Zhuo plummeted with a roar, until he heard—

Thud!

His feet hit solid ground, and he suddenly opened his eyes to the mountain night wind brushing his face.

The crackling of the campfire and the sound of laughter came from behind, the tents had been pitched, telescopes aimed at the night sky, and colleagues from the university were adjusting observation equipment, moving back and forth.

“Professor Shen!” Someone called out loudly, not far away, “Come quickly, the meteor shower is about to start!”

At the same time, the radio crackled a few times before broadcasting the latest news:

“According to the latest monitoring news from NASA, the rare meteor storm expected tonight will no longer land on Earth but will pass by us at a distance of 0.12654 astronomical units. It is still unknown what caused the meteor storm to deviate from its predicted trajectory…”

——That was because the Spear of Time had erased the causal law all the way back to five years ago. From the moment Shen Zhuo opened his eyes, Rong Qi’s existence had disappeared from the universe.

Without his guidance, the source of evolution could no longer target Earth but instead roared towards the vast space.

History once again returned to this crucial fork, sudden evolution would no longer occur, and humanity successfully embarked on another path.

Shen Zhuo panted, his chest rising and falling more and more rapidly, until he finally spat out a mouthful of hot blood and fell to the ground!

“Professor Shen?”

“Hurry, someone help! Professor Shen!”

His life had been completely overdrawn, his internal organs rapidly failing. Shen Zhuo closed his eyes. The suffocating sensation of near-death enveloped his nose and mouth, but then a powerful warm current surged in his heart.

He realized what it was — Witch Italdo.

Before her spirit left Earth, she had left her last bit of energy with all her might, and this bit of energy became the key to sustaining Shen Zhuo’s life after the time reversal ended.

“Call an ambulance; quickly call an ambulance!”

“What happened, what’s going on?!”

“Lay him flat, lay him flat…”

The surroundings were chaotic and noisy. Just then, a strong engine roar approached from afar, and headlights lit up at the end of the mountain road.

Shen Zhuo sensed something, mustering all his strength to sit up, waving his hand to signal to the panicked crowd: “No… no problem; I just fainted for a moment, really, no problem…”

A modified G800 Black Knight braked sharply, and then the door was pushed open. Five years ago, Bai Sheng had also camped and climbed on this mountain. He now ran out, his eyes seeing nothing else, rushing up to hug Shen Zhuo tightly!

Years of wandering and all the hardships returned to the most complete moment in that embrace.

“Who is this?” “A student?” “Let go of Professor Shen, or we’ll call the police!”

The colleagues around were dumbfounded, but Shen Zhuo couldn’t care less at this moment. He buried his face in Bai Sheng’s neck, both hands trembling uncontrollably, breathing rapidly but unable to make a sound.

“It’s over, it’s all over,” Bai Sheng repeated, trembling, “I knew you would come back, we would all come back…”

Shen Zhuo tried to calm down and wanted to stand up first, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

In the distant night sky, a meteor streaked across, burning as it approached.

——It was the law of causality.

Crossing five years of space-time, spanning millions of kilometers, the law of causality was once again drawn to Shen Zhuo’s soul by the Spear of Time, resolutely and unyieldingly rushing toward Earth, straight for this mountain, and hit—

Whack!!

Bai Sheng was hit in the back of the head, his face frozen with an expression of disbelief, then his body swayed and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Several professors around: “………………”

Shen Zhuo: “………………”

A meteorite fell in front of Shen Zhuo, emitting a faint blue glow in the night.

Shen Zhuo picked up the only source of evolution on Earth, tried pushing Bai Sheng, and after a moment of silence, turned to his colleagues:

“Maybe… still call an ambulance.”
