"Since Xiaozhu's self-destruction, the two of us have been in a daze. I accidentally discovered that some mutated animals seem to be related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Their appearance and abilities are extremely similar to those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

As Bai Zhengxuan, a middle-aged man, said this, a smile appeared in his eyes.

It was precisely because of his vague and uncertain speculation that the elderly couple regained their hope of living.

"Mutant animals, the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Leng Yebai thought of mutated pandas and all sorts of mutated animals he had encountered.

Indeed, some of the mutated animals are remarkably similar to those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

“Yes! It’s the Classic of Mountains and Seas!” A glint of light flashed in the middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan’s aged eyes. “The Classic of Mountains and Seas records a strange beast that can travel through time and space, called Chenghuang. It is said that riding it can take you back to the past.”

If the Classic of Mountains and Seas is real, then the strange flowers and beasts described in it must also exist.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas records a strange beast called Chenghuang.

"The Bai family possesses a magnificent beast called Chenghuang, which resembles a fox with horns on its back. Riding it grants a lifespan of two thousand years."

It can travel through time and space.

Whether or not this could actually extend their lifespan by two thousand years, the middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan and his wife didn't care.

What they care about is traveling through time and space.

They want to go back to the past and change history, no matter the cost, even if the future world collapses, even if they disappear, they will not hesitate.

All they want is for their family members to live.

"Cheng Huang really exists?" Leng Yebai looked slightly surprised, then relieved.

Xiao Zhu's space, and the three silly mythical beasts within it, all demonstrate that this world can no longer be explained by Newton's laws.

The existence of a mythical beast like Chenghuang seems plausible.

“It definitely exists!” The middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan nodded with certainty. “It’s just that it’s too hard to find. The two of us desperately absorbed crystal cores and traveled over mountains and valleys to find that divine beast, whose existence was unknown. Finally, in the tenth year of the apocalypse, we found it and came here!”

Bai Zhengxuan, now middle-aged, felt a slight sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

Unfortunately, the time on the Yellow River could not be precisely determined. After they boarded it, they returned to the past, but not to the time before the apocalypse.

It was two days ago, according to local time.

I thought my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all dead, but I never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Seeing his family alive and kicking, Bai Zhengxuan, a middle-aged man, was overjoyed.

Besides happiness, there was also a touch of melancholy.

In this world, the people on the bus are a family, but none of them know who the elderly couple is.

Even though I was the one in the bus who was dying, I still felt extremely envious and jealous!

“Xiao Zhu will be very happy to know that you are all safe and sound. She has been saying that she was very sorry that she couldn’t find you in the apocalypse,” Leng Yebai said.

Bai Xizhu witnessed her parents and younger brother die in front of her, leaving her only grandparents as her relatives.

Xiao Zhu is also looking for her grandparents!

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We...we have to go back eventually."

Bai Zhengxuan, in his middle age, rubbed his eyes, looking slightly bewildered.

They came to the past only to ensure the survival of the Bai family. Once their business here is settled, they will return to the past to avoid disrupting the world.

He himself couldn't say what awaited them after they returned.

Perhaps upon returning, one will see living children, or perhaps the future world will collapse... and disappear.

These things don't matter anymore; it's enough to see them alive.

The past him is also him.

He simply no longer has those cruel memories.

"Yes, whatever you do, don't say it!" Liu Jing's eyes blurred slightly, her thoughts the same as Bai Zhengxuan's.

They had already thought everything through when they were looking for Cheng Huang.

They didn't care, as long as the children survived.

“But… Xiao Zhu will be very happy to know that you are both alright,” Leng Yebai tried to persuade the two.

"Forget it, we'll go back after we finish our business here. If you tell her about us, I'll kill you!"

Liu Jing, middle-aged, rolled up her sleeves with a serious expression.

At this point in time, there are probably almost no people who could beat her and her husband.

Leng Yebai: ...

"...What do you want to do?" Leng Yebai began to change the subject.

To be honest, just by looking at the scorched earth of Baiyang Village, he could imagine how powerful the old couple's supernatural abilities were.

"We've come here to do only two things," said Bai Zhengxuan, a middle-aged man, with a very serious expression.

Liu Jing, now middle-aged, also had a very solemn expression on her face, and a faint chill emanated from her body.

"What is it?" Leng Yebai's face also became much more serious.

These two matters must affect the future of the Bai family, so he naturally wants to help them.

In any case, we must ensure that our own family members live a carefree life in the end times, and we cannot allow the future to become a reality.

"The first thing to do is to wipe out all the forces and followers of the Shadow Organization!" The middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan's eyes were filled with raging anger.

No one could imagine the despair the elderly couple felt at that time. If it weren't for a tattered copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas which recorded the mythical beast Chenghuang, they would have truly lost the will to live.

In short, that mysterious organization must be wiped out completely!

“Yes, we must take it down!” Leng Yebai nodded in agreement.

In his dream, that damned research institute kept dissecting him and Xiaozhu. Although he was neither reborn nor time-traveled, he vividly experienced the feeling of being dissected in his dream.
