Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1372 - 23: The Grand Time-Manager Que
Su Ming’an stared into the red eyes of the Boss Rabbit, trying to see some familiarity, but all he saw was coldness.
It seemed the Boss Rabbit was simply praising his appearance.
"How do you see the organizers?" the Boss Rabbit asked, as if steering the conversation to the main topic.
"A bunch of greedy people trapped in the world game, just like prisoners," Su Ming’an said.
"I see." The Boss Rabbit blinked its red eyes, affirming Su Ming’an’s words: "You’re really smart, dear."
It twisted its body and asked again:
"So, how do you see the Rabbit?"
Su Ming’an slightly raised his eyebrows.
His heart tightened, as an unbelievable guess slowly formed.
Could it be that the organizers and the Boss Rabbit...aren’t they the same concept?
He quickly dismissed the idea. Undoubtedly, the Boss Rabbit was a high-ranking member of the organizers. It was asking this to show that it didn’t collude with the organizers.
A rabbit that could devour Su2 whole and savor the eyeballs, could it be a good person?
But Su Ming’an wouldn’t make definitive statements, seeing that he didn’t answer, the Boss Rabbit smiled playfully and twisted its body:
"Whatever your answer is, dear, the Rabbit can accept it~ The Rabbit paused Luowasha’s time for ten minutes, so hurry up and do what you want. The Rabbit’s off~"
With those words, it twisted its butt and actually left.
Su Ming’an stood alone amidst the blazing fire, the world was silent, everything frozen.
...The Boss Rabbit didn’t kill him, and even left him a ten-minute buffer time. But it’s also possible the Boss Rabbit was in a special state, not confident enough to kill him, so it didn’t act.
He glanced at the Sixth Rank promotion tasks and found them just doable:
...
[Sixth Rank Advancement Tasks:
1. Kill a creature with Combat Power over 4000. (Completed)
2. Possess a Purple Grade or higher Equipment and have a Purple Grade or higher Skill. (Completed)
3. Post a topic in the world forum and gain a heat exceeding (one hundred million / player’s personal world ranking number) (To be completed)]
...
[Detected that there is still progress before instance ends, you cannot return to Main God World to post, the system can post for you on the world forum if you edit content below:]
[(Long press here to input content) (Content must not exceed 15 characters)]
...
Su Ming’an didn’t have particular content to post, anything he wanted to convey, he could say it directly via the live broadcast. Even if he posted, he couldn’t see the responses, this wasn’t a reliable method of information exchange.
Might as well be casual, and say what he wished.
He typed the content, tapping the virtual keyboard—
...
"Ding-dong!"
...
[Su Ming’an v (World Rank 1):
"I’m back."]
...
"Ding-dong!"
[You have advanced to a (Sixth Rank One) player.]
[Sixth Rank players enjoy the rights: the dialogue rights with organizers, and the ability to carry a secondary profession.]
...
Immediately after, the experience points gained from killing Inorganic God surged into the experience bar as a breakthrough occurred:
...
"Ding-dong!"
[You have advanced to a (Sixth Rank One) player.]
...
"Ding-dong!"
[You have advanced to a (Sixth Rank Two) player.]
[You have advanced to a (Sixth Rank Three) player...]
[...]
...
"Ding-dong!"
[You have advanced to a (Sixth Rank Nine) player.]
...
The glowing blue experience bar, finally stopped at Sixth Rank Nine.
Su Ming’an stared in shock at his level.
The experience points that could have elevated him ten levels directly pulled him from Fifth Rank Nine to Sixth Rank Nine.
The God of Garbage was indeed too tempting.
Could there be another one?
He glanced at the Sixth Rank players’ rights, the "dialogue rights with organizers" was great for an ordinary player, but for him, a regular at the organizers, it was already insignificant. Bringing a secondary profession meant adding a job like alchemy, forging, tailoring, or array setups, crafting his own Equipment, but that required at least two or three instances for learning, but the final battle had already begun, ending everything at Luowasha, so there shouldn’t be another instance.
...
"Ding-dong!"
[You are the first player to advance to Sixth Rank, do you want to broadcast to the entire game?]
...
"Broadcast."
...
Immediately, every player in the Main God World heard the resonating system voice—
...
[Congratulations—player Su Ming’an, for becoming the first to advance to a (Sixth Rank) level player!]
[Honor upon you, glory crowned, billions celebrate you!]
...
Many players, busy with seeking allies, paused their steps, assuming there was no chance and stopped paying attention to Su Ming’an, now realizing upon the broadcast—Su Ming’an was not dead!
In the situation where he was devoured by the organizers’ own mouth—he was not dead!?
He did it again.
He created another miracle.
Su Ming’an looked at the scene of collapsing mountains and shattering stars, even across a world, he could almost hear the cheers from his homeland.
Honor upon you, glory crowned, billions celebrate you.
Indeed, that was exactly the scene now.
...
[(Bright)]
[Health Points: 500+95*30=3350]
[Mana: 100+20*7 (recovery speed 5/min)]
[Physical Strength: 100]
[Strength: 108]
[Agility: 73]
[Spirit: 30]
...
[Shadow]
[Health Points: 300]
[Mana: 100+20*296=6620 (Recovery Rate 60/min)]
[Physical Strength: 35]
[Strength: 8]
[Agility: 10]
[Spirit: 328]
...
With ten levels of free attribute points, Su Ming’an allocated 3 points to "Physical Strength" for the Bright State, and the rest were all allocated to "Agility," making the three dimensions more balanced. For the Shadow State, all points were allocated to "Spirit."
Finally, the Physical Strength in the Bright State surpassed 100 points, triggering a new passive:
...
[Life, Light and Peace (Passive): Your body contains a stronger power of life, and organ rupture or massive blood loss won’t make you quickly lose combat power. Consuming your body can help others recover life force.]
...
At the same time, the Spirit in the Shadow State exceeded 300 points, also triggering a new passive:
...
[World Perception: You can more easily understand the essence of the world and the World Origin, and communicate with World Consciousness.]
...
[Combat Power Value: 7005+ (Bright State), 7105+ (Shadow State)]
...
The Combat Power Value was finally fixed at this number.
Cutting high-dimensional beings is indeed the fastest way to level up, but it’s hard to come by.
Su Ming’an looked towards the World Tree. Half of the World Tree’s seed automatically floated back to the central roots, and Su Ming’an did not forcibly keep it. This is the World Origin that supports Luowasha’s operation; having half of it is enough. If he took the remaining half, the players would truly be doomed, and he should leave the great artist of Luowasha a chance to continue their work.
...
In the core of the world, only three people remained.
Su Ming’an, Sique, Yijulai’er.
Before leaving, the Boss Rabbit restored their ability to move.
"I need to preserve my memory in the next reset. Sique, Yijulai’er, can you help me?" Su Ming’an said.
"You saved Luowasha. As a reward, I will fulfill your request." Yijulai’er placed her right hand on her chest, her voice clear and cold: "The World Tree can help you retain your memory, but it requires some preparation time."
"How long is needed?"
"Approximately a day."
"A day?" Su Ming’an frowned. There’s only ten minutes left; how could it be in time?
At this moment, Sique flew over, the small wings at his temples flapping continuously, bringing him over with a full-faced smile: "Yijulai’er can’t do it alone, but with me, it’s possible. Mr. Lighthouse, have you ever perused my experimental records?"
...
[Su Ming’an opened the bag, and most of the paper was already damaged. The writing inside was blurred due to age, with only some parts readable.]
[Record No. 34211.]
[Failure. But this time, the "Narrative Pen" achieved a historic breakthrough, retroactively traced approximately 0.1 microseconds of time. Despite being insignificant, it at least shows that our experimental direction is correct.]
[...]
[Record No. 41928.]
[Maybe someday, it could become a different kind of time authority. However, the way to trigger it might not be active, possibly passive.]
...
—That’s right.
Sique was indeed involved with artificial time authority!
"I am indeed creating a time authority, though still relatively immature, but it’s already succeeding. It can only be used within Luowasha." Sique smiled: "Mr. Lighthouse, your [Perspective Shift mechanism] is, in fact, a product of the time authority. Moreover, back then, I could simultaneously appear in various places of Luowasha, befriending the Dragon Emperor, Elf King, Lord of the Undead, Insect General, Blood Prince, Master of Abyss, Ocean Angel, and others, all because of this time authority, allowing me to properly manage my time."
Su Ming’an could no longer be bothered to ridicule Sique’s "befriending" behaviors: "You mean, letting me use the time authority you created to return to a day before in Luowasha. In this way, I’ll have ample time to wait for Yijulai’er to preserve my memory and then proceed with the world reset."
Sique nodded: "That’s right."
This combination might really work.
Previously, Sique couldn’t help Su Ming’an preserve his memory because Yijulai’er remained neutral, never appearing. But now, Su Ming’an has saved Luowasha, making Yijulai’er willing to help him.
The flap of a butterfly altered the entire situation.
"Sique, rewinding the entirety of Luowasha for a day would require a great sacrifice, right?" Su Ming’an said.
This time authority should be on a similar level as Xiber’s "Faith" authority, far less than the "Death Rebound" authority and "Devouring" authority, unable to rewind high dimensions, but effective on life within Luowasha, including the players. The vast majority of players still can’t transcend the world.
Such a massive reversal would inevitably entail a price for Sique.
Sique shook his head: "Mr. Lighthouse, you only need to be concerned with yourself. You are the protagonist of Luowasha; I am merely the previous protagonist, don’t be too concerned with my story."
These words sounded somewhat sour, but Sique’s expression remained calm.
"If that’s the case, we cooperate, Olivius." Yijulai’er nodded.
After the three decided, Sique took out a radiant Feather Pen, which was his time authority, called the "Narrative Pen."
Yijulai’er’s white gown billowed without wind, and she placed her hand on a branch of the World Tree, transcribing Su Ming’an’s experiences of the past few dozen days.
"Su Ming’an, today is April 8th at 0:00 AM. You will rewind to a day before, which is April 7th at 0:00 AM. But please remember, Sique’s time authority cannot cover high dimensions, meaning ’Su Ming’an was swallowed by the Inorganic God and then counter-killed the Inorganic God,’ these events have already occurred and won’t change due to a day’s rewind." Yijulai’er said:
"This day is merely to buy time."
"So, you can treat it as an extra day off, do whatever you want."
Su Ming’an nodded: "Understood. So will the players retain memory?"
Yijulai’er replied: "Those beneath the positional rank of the time authority won’t retain memory. Those above the positional rank of the time authority will retain memory."
These words are straightforward. Just like Su Ming’an’s Death Rebound authority that overrules everything, anyone will have their memory wiped. Sique’s time authority is much lower-level, so not only high dimensions but also some players who have contacted high-dimensional realms will retain memory.
Su Ming’an immediately thought... As long as he tests whether Noel retains memories, he’ll know if Noel has "colluded" with high dimensions.
Those with memories must have "colluded" with high dimensions.
He’s always been bothered by Noel’s head.
"Mr. Lighthouse, you’ve already killed the Inorganic God, which is equivalent to completely breaking with the organizers. You’ve also obtained the Devouring Authority; the next world reset, they will undoubtedly leave no effort to try to kill you." Sique said: "Please aim to succeed in the next world reset. Otherwise, you might not have another chance to reach here."
"I will." Su Ming’an nodded.
This day should help him understand the previously vague issues. Like why Xiao Su died, why Noel lost his head...
Su Ming’an asked: "I have a question. Will the other two ’me’ also retain memory?"
Yijulai’er replied: "You must first understand the timeline."
She extended her finger and sketched in the air:
...
[April 7th]
[Before 0:00 AM: There’s only one Su Ming’an.]
[0:00 AM: The third level of the Disciple Game opens, Su Ming’an enters the Disciple Game.]
[6:40 AM: Hui Bai deceives Su Ming’an into entering the school laboratory, Hui Bai’s scalpel falls, resulting in two Su Ming’an.]
[Su 1: After Hui Bai’s scalpel falls, Su Ming’an doesn’t die and continues to live in Su Liujin’s body.]
[Su 2: After Hui Bai’s scalpel falls, Su Ming’an died, consciousness transferred to the cloning shadow. To prevent the face from being too conspicuous, he wore Su Wensheng’s black earrings, presenting himself with Su Wensheng’s appearance.]
...
"This is because the backup you left in multiple major resets has taken effect — when you encounter severe crises, you split yourself into three parts to overcome the crisis." Yijulai’er said:
"At the moment Hui Bai’s scalpel fell, coincidentally, this mechanism was triggered, thus splitting into Su 1 and Su 2."
