As Youyou spoke, a semi-transparent virtual screen appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Nange.

Several lines of text were clearly displayed on the screen.

[Congratulations to host 'Lu Nange' (and auxiliary system 'Youyou') for successfully completing the core mission 'Breaking the Apocalypse'! Mission rating: SSS+]

[Task rewards are selectable (choose one of three).]

1. Stay in this world: Continue living in this small world that you fought for and saved.

Together with your family, companions, and other survivors, rebuild your home and usher in a new era for you.

The system will provide a basic reconstruction support data package.

(Note: This world has broken free from the cycle and will develop normally. Superpowers may gradually stabilize or evolve, and the zombie crisis will be gradually resolved.)

2. Return to another world: Leave this small world and return to the peaceful and stable modern world where your soul consciousness was previously 'residing'.

Your identity, memories, and some abilities will be properly arranged, allowing you to begin a new and peaceful life there.

(Note: Most memories related to this world will be obscured to protect the stability of both worlds.)

3. Time Reversal: Using the vast energy and permissions accumulated from this mission, rewind the timeline of this world to before the Black Market program invaded and before the car accident involving you and your family occurred.

You will return to that peaceful era, live happily with your family, and avoid all tragedies.

(Note: After the rollback, the hacker program will be marked and isolated, but other unexpected events cannot be guaranteed.)

Lu Nange's gaze lingered on the third option for a long time.

"Yes, yes, if we could go back in time and Blackie hadn't appeared, what would this world be like? Would there still be an apocalypse?"

“Absolutely not.” Youyou answered decisively: “Nannan, you have to understand that this small world is just a normal, stable technological world among countless parallel universes.”

There are no zombies, no superpowers, no natural disasters, and no major catastrophes other than human-caused disasters.

People live ordinary lives, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, birth, aging, sickness, and death; this is its true nature.

The invasion of Black King was like a virus forcibly implanted into a healthy body, causing it to have a high fever, ulcerate, and be on the verge of death.

All the pain, sacrifice, and struggle you have experienced... in essence, is a catastrophe imposed on this world that should never have existed.

Lu Nange's throat tightened: "Yes, yes, since the system has determined that it was a success, it's because of the efforts of me and my partners. Can I discuss this with everyone?"

"No, Nan Nan, only you can decide this matter."

If everyone knew this, it could trigger unpredictable paradoxical shocks, or even cause the backtracking process to fail...

Lu Nange closed her eyes, and in her palm, the emerald green seed seemed to pulsate faintly.

She looked up at Lu Beiye, Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, He Zhuo, Gu Wan, Wen Qing, Shi Xu, Gu Qi, Chi Yi, Ji Xian, Luo Xingyou...

There are many more faces that survived this catastrophe.

Her gaze swept over the three options again, finally settling on the line "Live happily with family and avoid all tragedies".

These words, like a branding iron with heat, burned into her heart.

Luo Xingyou, Wen Qing, Ji Xian, Sang Xu... all those who lost their loved ones, their homes, and everything else in this apocalypse can regain the ordinary yet precious happiness they deserve.

Those innocent people who were captured for experiments and died in pain and fear will not have to go through that hell.

Zombies will not appear, superpowers will not awaken, and the world will not collapse.

The sun will rise as usual, the sound of reading will fill the schools, the streets will be bustling with traffic, people will worry about daily necessities, strive for promotions and raises, and experience the joys and sorrows of love and marriage...

That's how the world should have been.

An imposed, absurd, and painful nightmare will be completely erased.

She looked up at the floating orb of light.

"Yes, yes, if I choose the third option, to go back in time, will they still remember all of this?"

Youyou: "Nannan, according to the rules, in order to avoid time paradoxes and memory conflicts that lead to confusion of consciousness."

After the rollback, all "apocalyptic memories" related to this "erroneous timeline" will be "blurred" and "dreamlike" by the main system at a security level.

In other words, they will forget everything that happened.

Only a few people might vaguely remember some fragments, some feelings, such as an inexplicable fear of zombies, a deep trust in their companions, or certain fighting instincts.

But these memories will be like a long, hazy dream, lacking detail and logic, and will not affect their normal lives in the new timeline.

Lu Nange listened quietly; perhaps forgetting was also a form of compassion.
