Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times.

With his strength, even in this world where magic is forbidden, he can easily see through everything about this old man.

Indeed, he is just an ordinary old man . His family is happy, his children and grandchildren are happy, and he has lived an ordinary life to this point. His character is quite good, he has moral integrity, is content with what he has, and is gentle and modest. If he is seen outside and his identity is concealed, even if Shen Yi sees him and chats with him, his tone will be more polite.

But the same thing.

Compared to this mission that concerns the fate of all mankind, it is too ordinary.

Not even a "transcendent being".

"Is it strange?" The old man seemed to see what Shen Yi was thinking. He grinned and laughed like an old child.

"Indeed." Shen Yi nodded.

He was not surprised that his thoughts were seen through, because he had no intention of hiding them.

"I'm also very surprised." The old man's smile did not fade, and he looked at Shen Yi with the same curiosity, "According to them, I have to stay here for the rest of the time and cannot see anyone. I just didn't expect you to come here suddenly."

"The situation has indeed changed." Shen Yi did not hide anything, but said calmly, "I am determined to end this endless cycle, end the doomsday, and let mankind have a future. Now, the World Retrieval Organization has also accepted my concept, so I came."

"So that's how it is." The old man was a little surprised when he heard this.

But it was just a surprise.

Shen Yi saw it very clearly.

This old man was hired.

He knows a lot, but he doesn't think too much.

His job is very simple. After receiving the instructions, he starts to rewind the world.

It's that simple.

He knew what he was doing and what the consequences would be, but tens of thousands of times in the past, he obeyed orders and abided by the contract every time.

Even though he did not have the memory of those tens of thousands of reincarnations, even though he knew the significance of what he was doing, he had never made a mistake tens of thousands of times.

"I came here this time just to see the specific way the world goes back." Shen Yi said again.

"This... should be known only to me." The old man hesitated this time.

"Yes, you are the only one in the whole world who knows." Shen Yi looked at him.

This was the only thing he could not learn from the old man's mind.

The final information blockade.

But it is only the last step in the world's reversal.

He knows the rest of the process.

It’s simpler than you think.

In this uninhabited area underground, the old man's residence is lined with kerosene lamps, a total of thirteen. His task is to start the world reversal when seven of these kerosene lamps go out.

That’s right, those kerosene lamps are a special kind of prop, bound to the lives of the members of the Retrospective Council.

In other words, the so-called "meeting to decide whether the world will go back or not" is actually very simple.

Is to choose death.

If any member of the Backtracking Council believes that the world needs to be rewound, then he or she can die, no matter how.

When Shen Yi learned about this mechanism, he couldn't help but admire it.

Simple, but extremely effective.

Every member of the Backtracking Parliament is a high-ranking member of the World Backtracking Organization. They have various "open" identities, various ideas, and personalities. Therefore, when more than seven people are willing to choose death to vote for the World Backtracking, it is either that the intelligence obtained has determined the degree of danger of the Doomsday Factor, or that some of them have already died under the Doomsday Factor.

This is the process that this world has gone through tens of thousands of reincarnations until Shen Yi returned.

However, the last step of this process, which is also the most critical step, is such an old man. Shen Yi doesn't know what the person who made this decision initially thought, but he is indeed feeling lucky at this moment.

Fortunately, there were no accidents.

"Come with me." The old man said nothing more.

He was not a person who went back in time to the world, and he had no will to keep secrets. He was just cut off from sending messages to the outside world. Therefore, since the employers who hired him here said so, he would naturally obey.

It would actually be nice if I could leave this place and be with my family in my final moments.

And Shen Yi followed him all the way.

Although it is underground, the conditions here are quite good and not depressing at all. There are lights that simulate the sun, warm air, and even a vegetable garden. You can also watch TV and listen to plays - the old man actually knows what is happening outside.

Occasionally, meeting members were able to chat with him about family matters.

Of course, Shen Yi only took a rough look at these living areas. Although it would be a bit lonely for an old man, it was not bad.

He came directly to the core area.

A stone tablet! Yes, at the first glance, Shen Yi was sure that this stone tablet was part of the same stone tablet as the one he saw in the ghost cave.

And at the top of the stone tablet, there was a line of words written in the same handwriting.

[The world restarts, restart time: 11:03:24 on March 14, 2021, Imperial Time]

It was the time when Shen Yi traveled through time.

Not a second too late!

Just this one sentence made Shen Yi silent for a long time.

This sentence is obviously related to his own time travel.

And this is obviously not his own handwriting.

Who wrote it? What kind of power does this stone tablet have?

Finally, Shen Yi slowly exhaled.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it for now. He always does that.

What is known at present is that this stone tablet contains absolute, regular power. It seems that as long as it is written on it, it can operate the rules with its unique understanding, including the one in the ghost den. It is by no means as simple as just following the words written on it.

And under this stone tablet, there are extremely dense handwritings.

Shen Yi saw it clearly, it was the word "正".

Apparently, this is the way to count.

Just a quick glance will give you the answer.

There are a total of 15,128 "正" characters.

There is also a horizontal line.

That is seventy-five thousand six hundred and forty-one strokes.

If we calculate based on an average cycle of six months, it is about the same as more than 30,000 years.

"Did you carve all the correct characters on it?" Shen Yi asked.

"That's right." The old man looked a little proud. "Every word is the smallest that can be carved. If it's one millimeter smaller, it can't be carved anymore!"
