Nan Ze stopped talking halfway through his words and just stared at Bai Yan with a smile.
Bai Yan felt helpless, but still cooperated and asked:
"What method?"
Although he was asking, he had already guessed something in his heart.
After all, he has been to so many worlds, and he has seen and experienced some of everything.
Since there is no way to change what has happened, there is no way to wake up Huang Qiong, who is only a wisp of soul left.
So if you want to save the person, you have to start over.
Go back to the time when Huang Qiong was still alive and well, on that timeline, save his soul, and change the outcome of what happened.
"Reshaping the world line."
Nan Ze curled his lips and chuckled as he spoke.
Bai Yan still looked at him calmly, without showing any surprise.
This is pretty much what he thought.
"So, the reason I can't go back is because the world line there has been reshaped?"
"In the reshaped world line, he's still alive and well. He didn't go to that place, didn't do those things, so naturally, I don't exist, and I can't go back. Is that right?"
Bai Yan tried his best to control his emotions and make his tone sound calmer, but he still couldn't stop trembling when he spoke the last part.
He really wanted to go back.
Especially when I first started the mission, day and night, all I thought about was completing the mission as soon as possible, returning to the original world as soon as possible, and rescuing Huang Qiong as soon as possible.
But now I tell him that he can never go back...
A wave of emotion surged into Bai Yan's heart, making him feel inexplicably sad, and even the corners of his eyes turned red.
Nan Ze couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Bai Yan looking so fragile.
Because of Gu Beiyu, he was also very concerned about Bai Yan, but he had never seen Bai Yan like this.
Bai Yan has always been a tasker of the villain department. Given his identity and the strength he has demonstrated, almost no one would say they want to protect him.
But the vulnerability he showed now made people feel pity for him, and made people want to protect him, lean on him and comfort him.
Nan Ze felt that he suddenly seemed to understand why Gu Beiyu liked Bai Yan so much.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, then smiled softly and continued, "You're only half right."
"In the reshaped world line, the person you wanted to save is indeed still alive and well, but he still went to that place and still met you at that time."
"Every world has its own laws. Those born with great fortune are destined to gain things that others don't have, and are also destined to shoulder certain responsibilities. This cannot be changed."
"The only difference is that this time, it wasn't just him who went there. The protagonist of that world also went there. With the protagonist's luck covering him, he managed to save his life. After returning, he only fell into a coma for a few years before waking up."
Nan Ze's tone was very relaxed.
Bai Yan's attention was only focused on the last sentence he said, "I still met you at that time."
At that time, Huang Qiong still met him when he was born.
The Huang Qiong in that world has woken up.
However, he is not in that world now, and he is not with them.
He was still in the main god space, still sitting in this small bamboo building.
So who is with them in that world?
Nan Ze seemed to see his doubts, and said with a sigh:
"It's you too."
"Bai Yan, the person who stays with them is still you, but also not you."
"So I said, you can never go back. There is already another you in that world."
"Those people you care about are living well, but because of the existence of your other self, you can no longer return to them."
Nan Ze's last words were very soft. A breeze blew past the window, bringing with it the scent of peach blossoms. The words were almost blown away by the wind.
Bai Yan was silent for a long time, so long that Nan Ze couldn't help but feel a little worried, and even began to wonder if he shouldn't tell him this.
He finally spoke slowly, "So, it's just that there's already another me in that world, and I can't return to that world with my original identity."
"But if I change my appearance and hide my aura, like I did when I was doing missions before, and completely change my identity and return to that world, that should be possible, right?"
Bai Yan's voice was soft, yet extremely firm.
His intuition told him that he just couldn't go back with his original identity, but he could still return to that world with a different identity.
Just like he had done countless missions...
Nan Ze did not answer him immediately, but was silent for a long time, then took out the beads and threw them into the air. The beads floated in the air and emitted a faint light in an instant.
Bai Yan also stared at the beads, waiting for an answer.
Nan Ze closed his eyes, then curled the corners of his lips, chuckled and said:
"Can."
"I know you really want to go back and see those people, but I just asked the Heavenly Dao of that world."
"That world doesn't need taskers and doesn't have any tasks now, so you can't go back as a tasker."
Nan Ze paused again, looked at Bai Yan with a meaningful look, and said pointedly:
"But if you want to go back now, there is actually another way."
