At the time, she didn't understand the meaning of the Book of the World. It wasn't until she pressed for details that she learned that the world in the book was not the original novel she had read, but a new world built upon the original book after the Book of the World had been reconstructed.
While it is indeed the original book in a sense, it is not entirely so, as the main character has changed.
In the original book, after Qiao Yingying, the female protagonist, and Xu Heyu got together, the story did not have a complete ending.
Rather, it was because Qiao Yingying's ambition was too great that she directly killed Xu Heyu in an attempt to replace him and become the sole protagonist of destiny.
However, the world in the book can only be sustained by the distribution of fortune to the male and female protagonists; otherwise, the world order will collapse.
[Before this, Xu Heyu actually had another life. In that life, he and you, from a parallel world, were the male and female protagonists in the book. Originally, you two were living happily in that world as the male and female protagonists. But then an external system appeared and found Qiao Yingying, saying it could give her a second life where she was the female protagonist, which is the previous life I just mentioned.]
[After that, as I said before, the second life couldn't be without the male protagonist, so that world naturally collapsed. I had no choice but to request my superiors to access the energy to activate the third life, that is, to create a new world in the book, and I detected that Ao Cang and you in the other world are the key to maintaining the stability of the world in the book.]
The information contained in the Book of the World was so vast that it took Qiao Mei a long time to digest it and roughly understand its meaning.
"So, Qiao Yingying has another system attached to her?"
Yes, but that system is on the verge of becoming unusable because it can't make Qiao Yingying replace you as the female lead.
Qiao Mei understood: "So, Xu Heyu, did you bring him over from your first life? Does he still have his previous memories? What exactly do you mean by 'dealing with them'?"
The Book of the World: [Initially, he didn't have any, but as time goes on, he will gradually regain his memories of his previous two lives. What I meant by dealing with them was to return them to where they belong. After you crush this energy device, they will be teleported back to the world they should be in, but the final outcome depends entirely on them.]
As Qiao Mei walked out of the Eighth Palace where Qiao Yingying lived, she recalled her numb and empty appearance just now. Because she was wary of the system that Qiao Yingying had and was afraid that something might happen, she told Ao Cang that they should go see Xu Heyu one last time.
She then relayed to him everything the Book of the World had told her.
Ao Cang understood that she intended to send Xu Heyu and Qiao Yingying away, so he did not object. After taking her to the place, he did not choose to go in with her, but let her go in by herself.
"I believe you'll be out soon."
There was no need to test Qiao Mei's feelings for him anymore; he believed she could handle her relationship with Xu Heyu well.
The reconstruction of the Federation Star is mostly complete, and Xu Heyu has had a lot of free time during this period, recuperating at home from the health problems he developed from the intense battlefield experience.
However, for some reason, his past lives and memories of those past lives have been coming at him more and more frequently lately, making it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion, and his mental state has deteriorated to an unbearable degree.
Qiao Mei's arrival was unexpected. Although he didn't quite understand why she came to see him at this time, he still managed to compose himself and entertain her.
The feigned mental facade was immediately obvious. The moment Qiao Mei saw Xu Heyu, she guessed that he had reached the stage described in the Book of the World where he was forced to recall his past lives and previous incarnations.
After taking a few sips of the tea he had prepared, he got straight to the point and asked about the matter.
The Book of the World has departed, and the order of the world within it has been stabilized. These facts tell Xu and Yu that it has nothing to do with them.
When Xu Heyu heard Qiao Mei's first words, she was stunned for a moment. After hearing her explanation, the surprise in her eyes first turned into astonishment, then into confusion, and finally into a very relieved calm.
As Qiao Mei finished speaking, Xu Heyu murmured in a deep voice, "I knew it. Why did you suddenly change so much? It turns out that it wasn't you who changed, but the world I live in."
He noticed that Qiao Mei was hesitant to speak, so he asked her if she had come to see him now because she planned to send him back to the first world he was supposed to return to.
"Wait a minute, I have something to give you."
He took out the garnet ruby evening gown that he hadn't been able to give her last time and handed it to her.
"This is a wedding gift for you and Ao Cang. Whether you wear it or not is entirely up to you."
Xu Heyu's composure exceeded Qiao Mei's expectations. She hesitated for only a moment before reaching out to take it, then looked at the young man who was ready to leave and said in a complicated tone, "Thank you, goodbye."
After the energy device was crushed, everything went black before Qiao Mei's eyes, and she lost consciousness.
When Xu Heyu opened his eyes again, he was standing in front of his villa. Qiao Mei, who was wearing the uniform of the Federal Academy, was standing in front of him. She walked towards him in confusion and took his arm: "Come on, what are you standing there for? Aren't we going to the school anniversary celebration? Don't be late."
She gave him a familiar feeling. The young man looked up at the clear blue sky, then looked away, smiled, and took her arm: "Okay, let's go."
Within the second world.
After Qiao Yingying returned, her lower abdomen was still swollen for some reason. After the system left, she regained her memories of her second life and quickly understood what was going on after noticing the changes around her.
Instead of returning to the Eighth Palace, she went to the place where she first met Raitan.
