As for what would happen if he couldn’t return, Professor Di couldn’t speculate; only Yan Junze himself was clear on that.

Because his body had already begun to numb intermittently, and when the condition worsened, even his limbs would start to feel unreal.

It was understood that if he didn’t go back to save his past self at a certain point in time, it was very likely that after that specified time had passed, the current him would completely disappear.

In other words, he would still have died in the Underground Space during the “Tricky Silk” mission.

The initial conclusion deeply shocked Yan Junze, but after returning to his dormitory and thinking it over carefully, it seemed that only this could explain the oddities happening to him.

Without the appearance of any strangenesses, his body would go numb, his fingers would turn ethereal, briefly disappearing.

...

All of these were indications that if he didn’t initiate the “Great Rewind” to save his past self soon, he would indeed die back then.

After communicating with Professor Di for several days, the professor was also eager to discuss topics of time with Yan Junze because some of Junze’s ideas and thought processes likewise interested him and even expanded upon his own preliminary concepts.

Soon, Professor Di Zhiwen and Yan Junze’s relationship became closer than that of other students and teachers, which was a good thing for Junze.

But now Yan Junze found it hard to feel happy; having roughly confirmed his suspicions, he knew he didn’t have much time left, so he spared no expense using a significant amount of Different Dimension Energy, walking around Tianmeng Science University and the surrounding villages.

Each time consuming 1,000 points of energy, detecting possible Space-Time Rifts.

Because the detection range was less than 2 kilometers, roughly covering a little over a kilometer, Yan Junze had to expend another 1,000 points to initiate the next detection after surpassing this distance.

As a result, his daily energy consumption kept increasing, but the results of the detection were increasingly disheartening.

Upon reflection, the last time he activated the Space-Time Rift detection and immediately found a rift in the campus woods seemed like striking a jackpot.

Occasionally, Yan Junze would even take the bus towards the city area, estimating the distance and detecting at intervals.

Yet even as he approached the city outskirts, he returned empty-handed.

Because his energy consumption far outpaced his recovery, he could only venture out irregularly and be very cautious with his usage.

But even so, his Different Dimension Energy, which originally amounted to over 18,000 points, was exhausted down to only 2,000 points.

This energy was the minimum threshold Junze had set for himself; no matter what, he could not use more than this bare minimum.

Because at a critical moment, this could be life-saving energy.

Failing to find a Space-Time Rift was only one of the two big problems Yan Junze was facing.

The other problem was, even if he found a Space-Time Rift and used energy to initiate the Great Rewind to return to the Underground Space in Mountain Park, he still didn’t know how to effectively deal with that boss, right?

So, before he could actually go back, Yan Junze also had to figure out a way to eliminate the boss.

The problems that initially lay before him were troublesome enough, but just on this day, Zhang Xiaomo suddenly called with a tone that seemed very anxious. She didn’t waste words and only said, “Come quickly, I really need your help.”
