Even if Earth's current civilization and missiles are not even one ten-thousandth as good as when Jiang Si returned from the Abel Galaxy to rebuild it, if she hadn't been caught in the vortex of time reversal, a few missiles would have been nothing more than a wave of her hand to her.
But she is now caught in a vortex of time reversal, activating her time reversal ability, and everything is entering a time reversal.
The deadly missiles that were fired at her became something she couldn't destroy. She had originally thought that the missiles would lose their destructive power or even disappear when they entered the time reversal vortex.
But the enormous ginkgo tree pressed down on her head, protectively enveloping her and Shu Xubai. She froze, letting out a trembling cry: "Spirit Eye..."
She reached out, trying to grab the ginkgo tree that had been bombed by missiles.
Year after year, day after day, the ginkgo tree, which had grown to the size of more than a dozen people who could not encircle it, became the tallest tree on Earth. However, this tallest tree could not escape the bombing from all directions.
It exploded; the thick trunk and beautiful green leaves shattered into dust.
The vortex of time rewinding seemed to enter slow motion. All the fragments of the shattered tree flashed before Jiang Si's eyes. She reached out to grab it, but only managed to grasp a thin twig, no more than the length of a middle finger, with a leaf attached.
Jiang Si gripped the branch tightly, her eyes reddening. Everything centered around her entered the vortex, and the shattered tree, in the powerful swirling, suddenly transformed into the shape of a spiritual eye.
His face was delicate like an elf's, with gentle eyes and a tender expression. He gazed at Jiang Si in the vortex of time with a gentle gaze, his mouth slightly open and moving as if to tell Jiang Si that as long as she was well, he only wished her well.
"Spiritual Eye!!!"
Jiang Si shouted at him again, her voice cracking with rage.
This shout was like a death knell, deafening and soul-shaking, echoing throughout the entire world.
Amidst her screams, a massive, blinding beam of light appeared within the powerful vortex of time.
With a deafening roar, a massive beam of light shot up like a tree piercing the clouds, entering the sky, passing through the clouds, entering the atmosphere, and traversing the Earth's surface before instantly dispersing.
In the blink of an eye, beams of light spread out and enveloped the entire Earth.
Animals running on the ground across the entire earth began to scatter wildly, fleeing in droves in a panic, as if some kind of threat was chasing them.
The birds flying in the sky made cries, and in groups they scattered and fled in all directions as if frightened, colliding with each other and falling from the sky.
The fish in the river and the fish in the ditch all popped out of the water, splashing and jumping. The deep blue ocean and all the lower marine creatures came out.
The nth High Priest of the Deep Sea Merfolk, dressed in a dark black robe with long, ink-black hair cascading down to his waist, his golden eyes gleaming with a burning light: "Go, go, go! Hurry, all of you go! Go to the Abel Star System! Her Majesty the Queen, lead your people to the Abel Star System!"
Her Majesty the nth Queen of the Deep Sea led her people through the High Priest's Temple of the Deep Sea, into the tunnel connecting the Abel Galaxy and the deep sea of Earth, and into the Deep Sea Ruins of the Shallow Sea Merfolk.
Bringing up the rear was the nth High Priest of the Deep Sea Merfolk. As he entered the tunnel connecting Earth to the Abel system, the deep-sea rift on Earth grew larger and larger, as if the Earth itself had leaked, and all the seawater on Earth seemed to be rushing into that rift...
Birds and beasts took flight in fright, and wars around the world ceased. Gazing at these incredible natural phenomena, people who had suffered through war knelt and prayed for divine intervention, hoping to be blessed with peaceful and well-fed lives.
As the world's political leaders watched the images transmitted from the satellite, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. They unanimously decided to bomb the god, destroy the god, and capture the god.
Unexpectedly, the god they saw was more powerful than they had imagined. A single tree destroyed all their missiles, yet the vortex remained, shooting out at the speed of light, piercing the clouds, and entering beyond Earth's borders.
The speed of light enveloped the Earth again, directly causing all the satellites orbiting the Earth to stop operating. The scene they are seeing now is what the satellites looked like before they stopped.
Every political figure making this decision secretly hopes that by seizing those three gods, their civilization will advance to a higher level and they will dominate the earth.
However, in the instant the satellite images disappeared, not only their power supply, but the entire global power grid was destroyed and ceased operation.
Various laboratories and nuclear reactors ceased operation, communication systems malfunctioned, and dignitaries from various countries changed their expressions drastically, quickly leaving their command centers.
As soon as they stepped out of the command center, they saw birds flying everywhere in the sky and snakes, scorpions, insects, and ants running all over the ground. All the car navigation systems had malfunctioned.
Transparent waves, visible to the naked eye, fall from the sky, layer upon layer. Birds caught in the waves disappear before the eyes of onlookers.
The dignitaries from various countries were terrified and turned to run to the command center, as layers of time-reversal spiritual waves enveloped them.
Jiang Si used her mental power to activate her time reversal ability. Originally, she only wanted to take Shu Xubai and Yan Liu with her, but the death of Lingyan completely extinguished the kindness in her heart.
She had hardened her heart in the laboratory, but after perishing together with Shu Xubai in the post-apocalyptic zombie era and going to the Abel Galaxy, her heart became kind again because of Relos, Gong Ming, Agares, and because she became a mother.
Thinking of my hometown, I want to rebuild it, not let it become a barren planet, but to purify it and turn it into a blue planet that can no longer be inhabited.
She succeeded. She brought the technology and prosperity of the Abel Galaxy to the Blue Star in the Milky Way. Here, all kinds of people and all kinds of creatures live together peacefully and wholeheartedly, working together to build this Blue Star.
This blue planet was indeed built to rival any planet in Abel, but as time passed and the world changed, the advanced civilization she had built while she slept, the equal and joyful homeland for all people, all disappeared and were destroyed by the greed of later generations.
Greedy people destroyed them and then began to pretend to reminisce and be curious about what space used to be like. They wanted to conquer space and wanted more resources, so they started endless wars.
Humans, that's just how they are. They don't cherish what they have, and when they lose it, they reminisce and dwell on it. If that's the case, what's the point of having them?
She didn't want them, she abandoned them. She could rebuild this place, and she could destroy it. The last vestige of kindness in her heart was once again extinguished with the death of the Spirit Eye.
In the time rewind, she exhausted all her spiritual power, bringing about the great destruction of Earth...
The dignitaries from various countries were enveloped by a powerful mental wave, unable to return to the VIP hall. They saw countless transparent, fireball-like spheres falling from the sky and landing on the earth.
Every fireball that crashes into the ground creates a crater, causing massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, fires, floods, and nuclear leaks to occur simultaneously around the world, creating apocalyptic scenarios that sweep across the globe.
There was no more war. All of humanity was gripped by panic. In their panic, they were powerless. Some embraced their loved ones and kissed them passionately, others embraced their families and faced death together, and still others knelt on the ground and prayed to God to forgive their sins and save them.
Without God, Earth will face its great destruction. No God can save them. Whether they enter air-raid shelters, underground, high-rise buildings, or even their impenetrable metal shells for protection against the apocalypse, it will be of no use.
Visible natural disasters and man-made calamities swept over them, while invisible, transparent spiritual forces cut them like the sharpest blades.
No matter who they are, where they hide, or where they are concealed, they must die. This is the punishment Jiang Si inflicted on them by exhausting her spiritual strength to leave.
Humans are highly intelligent animals. They have become the masters of a planet, running rampant on it without cherishing it.
Their selfishness only manifests when it comes to their own interests, only when they face death, that they feel panic, fear, and a sense of awe.
Jiang Si and Shu Xubai hunted Yan Liu and that small piece of ginkgo branch, disappearing into the vortex of time reversal. At the moment they disappeared, a huge golden light burst forth once again.
Golden light spread outwards, and everything that touched it—humans, animals, and plants—vanished into nothingness, turned into fertilizer, and disappeared from the earth without exception…
Killing gods, bombing gods, slaughtering gods, capturing gods—humanity has once again paid the price of civilization's destruction for its choices and its greed.
Houses were destroyed, mountains and rivers were cut off, humanity was wiped out, and everything that breathes on Earth disappeared completely. Earth seemed to have become that desolate star, the most barren star, without a trace of greenery, without a blade of grass, and without any life.
After an unknown period of time, following a global storm, the first blade of grass sprouted from the soft earth on the desolate Blue Star, its tip swaying in the wind, wet with raindrops.
As soon as the first blade of grass sprouted, the first bird egg hatched...
The ocean returned to calm, the waters of Guixu poured out, and the ocean area expanded again. Her Majesty the nth Queen of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan and the High Priest returned to the ocean with their masters.
Earth's crust shifted, volcanoes erupted, and their seemingly indestructible deep-sea structures were destroyed. They possessed advanced technology and a strong sense of unity.
Under the leadership of their queen and high priest, 20 million deep-sea mermaids began to rebuild their homeland, the Great Western Kingdom of the deep sea...
The ability to rewind time allows one to return to a specific place and time with their memories intact, to make up for past regrets, and to bring about a happy ending with him and anything else they feel they regret.
An accident occurred. The death of Lingyan made Jiang Si hate humanity to the point of despair again, and she wanted to exterminate humanity so that the Earth could be reshaped and restarted.
The devastating spiritual force impacted the time reversal, not only breaking through the specific location and time they were supposed to return to, but also separating the two of them, and breaking through the memories that Shu Xubai had sealed away by Jiang Si.
Shu Xubai, dressed in a white robe, his long hair blowing in the wind, his face as white as jade, his eyes tinged with red, gazed at the bustling New Century Cathedral.
The familiar buildings, the familiar people, and long-buried memories were stirred up. He stood there stunned for a long, long time, until everyone passing by looked at him.
His Western face, with its Eastern charm, and his long robes favored by Easterners, made him look like a Westerner who had studied in the East, giving him an air of strangeness and mystery.
Because he stood there for a very long time, gazing up at the Dormund Cathedral with his head held high, his eyes gradually turning red, his melancholic aura standing out from the crowd, many blonde beauties and handsome men greeted him and struck up conversations with him.
He couldn't hear anyone's voice. His eyes seemed to be looking at Dormert Cathedral, but they were actually bloodshot and covered with tears.
He laughed, a bitter, desolate, and sorrowful laugh. Even after the beautiful women and handsome men who had struck up a conversation with him had gone far away, they couldn't help but stop and stare at him when they heard his laughter, wondering why such a handsome and charismatic man could laugh with such sadness.
As Shu Xubai laughed, tears welled up in his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. The people who had struck up a conversation with him, and the passersby on the street, were all affected by his crying and his sorrow, and no one stepped forward.
I just want to know why this handsome and mysterious man is crying, what's wrong with him, and what can't he solve that makes him cry so sadly.
Shu Xubai laughed and cried, cried and laughed. Life goes on, history is a cycle, constantly repeating itself. No one can escape fate, and no one can change fate.
Just like now, he stands here, having recovered his long-forgotten memories. This is the 98th time he has had Jiang Si use her time-travel ability to return.
In other words, everything he experienced on Earth and everything he experienced in the Abel system, including this time, was the 98th time. Every time, it was the same point and the same experience.
Every instance of his persistence, every instance of his unwillingness to accept defeat, every instance of his desire for eternity was interrupted by his immortality.
Aside from him and Jiang Si hunting Yan Liu, no one else can achieve immortality. Even if he uses the contract, the vampire contract, the little phoenix will not achieve immortality with him.
Jiang Si was afraid he would be in unbearable pain, afraid he would go crazy, afraid he wouldn't be able to accept the recurrence of history, and that she would make the same choices over and over again, sealing away his memories each time.
After sealing his memories, they used the ability to rewind to take him back, again and again, over and over again.
On the 97th time, she sealed away her own memories as well. The two of them met again in the laboratory like strangers, got to know each other, recognized each other, and experienced the apocalypse and the zombie era of Earth with a fresh perspective. They went to the Abel Galaxy in the so-called time travel of mutual destruction.
Immortality comes at a price, and so does time rewinding. For example, if he returns to this point in time, Jiang Si should be buried deep in the ground at this point in time.
He was going to find her.
As a vampire of his generation, and standing in the birthplace of vampire legends, it's easy for him to get whatever identity he wants or whatever he wants to do.
He is the highest rank among vampires. All the hidden vampires here must listen to him, offer him sacrifices, and fawn over him.
They longed for his protection, for his covenant, and for the same freedom he provided—to live in the sunlight, unafraid of crosses, unafraid of garlic water, and able to fight werewolf hunters.
Shu Xubai is a scumbag. He took the identity, the money, and all sorts of things, and became a nobleman overnight, owning a manor, shops, and countless properties.
He arrived in China in his private jet, ostensibly to inspect and invest in the place where Jiang Si was buried, but in reality, he was there to dig her up.
He was incredibly fast. In less than half a month, he had fenced off the area to dig her out. But he couldn't make a big fuss about it; he had to dig it himself.
However, when everything was ready and they were about to dig a hole, they discovered that the ground had already been turned over and dug up. The ginger had already been dug into a laboratory and was being researched.
Upon hearing this news, he dropped everything and spread the word. Within ten days, he too was brought into the laboratory and underwent the same experiment as before each time he had rewound.
They injected him with the Soul-Devouring Needle. Once injected, no matter how much mental strength, physical strength, or powerful supernatural ability he had, it was all useless.
Year after year, day after day, he was like a fish on a chopping board, being injected with all sorts of things by those experimentalists. They didn't treat him as a human being, but as an experimental subject, as an object.
Even if he had to go through this process 97 times, even if his body had immunity and antibodies, these inhuman humans could still torture him to the point of near death, making him unable to lift even a finger.
He was a vampire, and his body was injected with all sorts of things, so he could live forever and never die. People whispered about him, and records of him appeared in miscellaneous collections.
Those who research immortality are extremely fanatical. Shu Xubai wanted to see Jiang Si as soon as possible, so he intentionally or unintentionally discussed the issue of children with the people researching him.
Researchers thought that if he lived forever, his children would surely live forever too. They found a woman to have his child. Since they couldn't study him or find the secret to immortality in him, they looked for it in his children.
Previously, Shu Xubai was imprisoned with Jiang Si. The crazy researchers wanted to use these two old immortals, these things dug out of the ground, to have children in order to study immortality.
However, this time Shu Xubai was taken to a place with a ginkgo tree. The ginkgo tree was very tall and thick, probably too big for two people to hug.
The ginkgo trees stretched as far as the eye could see, covered with electric fences and branches. Shu Xubai was unable to use his superpowers and could only walk and move around like an ordinary person.
He walked around the ginkgo tree again and again, much like a depressed elephant that could only walk in circles.
The people studying him stood in front of the glass, watching the surveillance footage, and were baffled, thinking that he was sick, or rather, seriously sick.
Until they put in the woman who had given birth to his child, Shu Xubai looked at the face of this unfamiliar woman who was not Jiang Si but was from the same clan as him.
He stopped walking in circles, stared at the unfamiliar woman, and his mind raced. No, no, no, this is not what he had experienced before.
This research institute has studied many legendary creatures, various viruses, all kinds of simulated humans, clones, and people of all races.
Of all their research subjects, only he and Jiang Si survived; all the others, the other creatures, died from various injections.
Why is there a strange female vampire, Jiang Si, appearing now?
Wasn't she captured and brought here?
According to the course of time and the deadline, they should have met long ago, but even now, no matter how much he thinks about it, they still haven't met.
Where is she?
Where did she go?
Shu Xubai grabbed the neck of the female vampire who was walking towards him, trying to seduce him, get close to him, and kiss him, and instantly flew into a rage: "What are you, that you dare to touch me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped the female vampire's neck. With a flick of his wrist, the female vampire fell to the ground like a broken brick.
The artificial intelligence issued an alarm: "Alarm! Experiment 001 is in a riot! Behavioral riot! Please take coercive measures! Please take coercive measures!"
"Alarm! Alarm! Subject 001, hazard level three stars, please take coercive measures, please take coercive measures."
Upon watching the surveillance footage, the researchers' expressions changed drastically. They were about to administer an electric shock, but Shu Xubai, the 001 test subject inside the cloth, smashed the glass with a single punch, disrupting their electrical system and preventing them from discharging electricity.
The alarm grew increasingly shrill: "Alarm! Alarm! Subject 001 has antibodies against the Soul-Devouring Needle! Antibodies! Antibodies! Antibodies!"
"Warning! Warning! The God Eater's attack on Subject 001 is ineffective. Please take coercive measures to capture Subject 001. Please take coercive measures to capture Subject 001."
Amidst the sirens, Shu Xubai kicked the glass, shattering it with a single blow. The glass, impenetrable even by bullets, was easily destroyed by his punch and kick.
He stepped onto the broken glass, walked out of the glass room, looked at the monitor, and said coldly, "You trash, I've been playing with you and letting you have your way, and you really think you're something special."
"You think you can judge anything, no matter what kind of creature or person you are? Don't you even know who you are!"
The researchers pressed the alarm, and the institute's security guards and protectors, dressed in white protective suits and armed with knives and guns, swarmed in.
Shu Xubai's experimentation and subjugation were all an act; he was merely going through the experimental route he was supposed to take 97 times before leaving.
Aside from the initial excruciating pain in the lab, each subsequent experience allowed his body to develop antibodies, making the lab stuff no problem for him at all.
But as the days and years went by, his patience was running out. He didn't need to stay here; he had to go find Jiang Si.
To him, guards and security personnel armed with knives and guns were nothing but weeds. His powerful mental strength deflected bullets back at him, preventing them from penetrating his body.
Whoever shot him with a gun, whoever slashed him with a knife, the bullets and the knives all struck and pierced their own bodies, killing them with each blow and shot without pause.
No matter when, Shu Xubai's anger was irresistible. Moreover, there were zombies in his space. If he released the zombies, not to mention one laboratory, even 10 laboratories wouldn't be enough for him to play with.
He had zombies that had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years in his space. If he released just one of them, the zombie infection rate would spring up like mushrooms after rain, and they would all pop up in an instant.
Infect 1, infect 2, infect 10, infect 8. Zombies are not afraid of knives or guns. Even if their heads are cut off, their limbs can still move. Even if their limbs are cut off, their heads can still bite people.
In less than an hour, thousands of people in the huge laboratory were overrun; some died, and others turned into zombies.
Enraged, Shu Xubai wreaked havoc, turning everyone into zombies, and then sending these zombies out of the laboratory to the outside world to destroy it.
The laboratory's AI alarm sounded again: "Experiment 001 has gone berserk! Experiment 001 has betrayed us! The Longevity Laboratory has initiated its self-destruct program! The Longevity Laboratory will initiate its self-destruct program within three minutes! All personnel are requested to evacuate! All personnel are requested to evacuate..."
"The Longevity Laboratory will initiate a self-destruct sequence within three minutes. All personnel are requested to evacuate. All personnel are requested to evacuate..."
"Three-minute countdown begins now, three-minute countdown begins now, 180 seconds... 179 seconds... 178 seconds..."
The entire laboratory echoed with the AI's counts and the emotionless, mechanical voices instructing relevant personnel to evacuate.
Amidst the piercing mechanical alarm, Shu Xubai, barefoot, wearing a loose white robe, and with disheveled hair, walked out of the laboratory step by step.
Outside the laboratory, greenery was lush and vibrant. He enveloped himself with his mental energy, and behind him, the laboratory suddenly exploded with a deafening roar, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Shu Xubai stood enveloped in spiritual energy, gazing at the laboratory amidst constant explosions and towering flames, his face as white as snow, his expression cold.
For a long, long time, the sky was overcast, covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled. Then a torrential rain came down, extinguishing the raging fire in the laboratory, dispersing the smoke and fumes, and allowing Shu Xubai to see that the huge ginkgo tree was still standing there unharmed.
The sight of the unharmed ginkgo tree made Shu Xubai's pupils dilate in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and found that the ginkgo tree, which one person could not encircle, was still there, lush and green, with graceful branches, and the tree was straight and tall, like a bamboo or a pine.
The fact that the ginkgo tree remained unharmed in such a massive and devastating explosion made Shu Xubai think of Jiang Si. She was right beside him, nearby, and watching him the whole time.
Logically speaking, that ginkgo tree is the Spirit Eye. In his previous 97 memories of regression, the Spirit Eye died for Jiang Si every single time, without exception.
This time… Jiang Si wasn't there, but the Spirit Eye was, which means she's nearby…
"Stinky zombie..."
Shu Xubai opened his mouth and roared, but before he could finish, he heard the roar of a motorcycle behind him. His roar stopped abruptly, and he turned around abruptly.
Unexpectedly, the roar of the motorcycle was already approaching and heading straight for him.
Shu Xubai jumped back, and the motorcycle that was scooping up his shoulder kicked up mud and sand, covering him completely.
He reached out to cover his face, spitting and cursing, "You stinking zombie, are you trying to die? Where have you been all these days? Do you know I've been looking for you?"
The man, dressed in a leather jacket, cropped t-shirt, tight pants, and boots, removed his half-finger gloved hand from the motorcycle, lifted his helmet visor to reveal a pair of sharp eyes: "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so rude! I'm your boss, why should I tolerate you?"
The familiar eyes, the familiar voice, the familiar figure—all of these told Shu Xubai that the person in front of him was Jiang Si, his mortal enemy, his family member, and Jiang Si, whom he was seeing for the 98th time.
"What do you mean you're my boss? I'm your boss!" Shu Xubai retorted, not one to back down, as he ran toward her. "Do you know that it's been three years? I've been looking for you in this crappy lab for three years, and I still haven't found you."
"If I hadn't blown up this lab, would you still not have shown up? Where have you been for the past three years? Why is everything different from what we've experienced before..."
Just as Shu Xubai ran up to him, the man, wearing a half-gloved hand, stretched out a gesture to stop him, interrupting him: "What the hell is this 'three years'? Who told you to come looking for me? Do you think we're that close? Who the hell are you?"
"Don't come any closer, or I'll get rough with you."
As the man spoke, he pulled a gun—a mini pistol—from his boot and pointed it at him. The threat was clear: if you come any closer, I don't care who you are, I'll just shoot you.
Shu Xubai stared at the gun pointed at him, his steps faltering. He looked at Jiang Si in astonishment, his voice trembling slightly: "You stinky zombie, you...you don't recognize me?"
The newcomer raised his voice and retorted, "Should I know you?"
Shu Xubai's vertical pupils almost turned into beastly eyes: "Shouldn't you recognize me?"
The newcomer curled his rosy lips into a smile: "I don't know you. Don't associate with me. Go back to where you came from and don't get in my way."
Shu Xubai felt as if he had been severely injured, "You..."
You stammered for a while, not even finishing your sentence, your mind filled with thoughts of "Oh no, oh no!" His nemesis, that stinky zombie, doesn't remember him. How can he let her use her time-travel ability to go back to the Abel Galaxy to find Little Phoenix?
Seeing his expression, the newcomer bluntly retorted, "Stop with the 'you you you' and 'me me me' stuff. A good dog doesn't block the way. Get out of the way."
Shu Xubai knew there was no way he could get out of the way. He looked at her, trying to make her recognize him, but she looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, as if she didn't know him at all.
Where exactly did things go wrong? Logically, her memories shouldn't be sealed. Logically, if they were rewound, they would meet again in the lab, destroy the lab, and cause the apocalypse and the zombie era. But this is not the case at all.
The woman jumped off the motorcycle, snapped her fingers, and the storm stopped. She put her helmet on the motorcycle, put on her boots, took a step back, took a running start, and jumped up.
Willow branches sprouted from the ground, and as she landed, she stepped on them. Using the branches as leverage, she leaped several times to reach the giant ginkgo tree. She enveloped the tree with her spiritual power, then pulled it up with all her might.
Shu Xubai narrowed his eyes, which gleamed, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Good heavens, trying to play tricks on him like he was playing the boy who cried wolf? He really underestimated her.
The enormous ginkgo tree was uprooted, its roots intact and covered in mud. Jiang Si planted the entire tree in her space, then stepped on the willow branches and returned.
Before she even reached the motorcycle, Shu Xubai drew his scepter sword and attacked her, slashing horizontally.
Jiang Si drew her Hunter's Blade and met his sword head-on. With a clang, his sword was snapped in two. She then raised her foot and kicked him in the chest.
Shu Xubai reacted quickly, using a wide, diagonal movement to avoid her feet, gripping the broken sword, and with a great spin, sent thousands of swords piercing towards her neck.
Jiang Si tilted her neck and raised her body, slashing past his sword and dodging it. Her hand then flashed with a murderous aura that suddenly shot straight toward Shu Xubai's heart.
Shu Xubai gripped the broken sword and retreated repeatedly.
Jiang Si pressed closer, but Shu Xubai suddenly stopped and stomped his foot on the cement ground, splashing mud that flew straight at Jiang Si.
With her left hand, Jiang Si drew a shield, and with her right hand, she held a knife, the tip of which pierced through the mud. With fierce momentum and murderous intent, she slashed at Shu Xubai's neck.
Shu Xubai drew his sword to parry, but his already broken sword broke off again, leaving him with only a small piece of the sword in his hand. He quickly begged for mercy: "Stop, stop, cease fighting, cease fighting!"
Jiang Si refused to back down and pressed him relentlessly until he had nowhere to retreat and no strength left to use. She kicked him and sent him flying into the concrete, where he fell face-first into the dirt.
Jiang Si sheathed her knife, and Yan Liu transformed into the hilt, wrapping around the blade. She gripped the knife, stepped forward, and stomped directly on Shu Xubai's mud-covered, clean face, grinding it hard: "98 times, the 98th time travel. You really are a romantic!"
Shu Xubai's white robe was stained with mud and water, his face was stepped on, and his mouth was filled with filth and mud. He was like a cockroach that was not afraid of death and could not be killed. He was strong and cheeky, provoking: "Whether I am a romantic or not, we are essentially the same. Without your indulgence and your superpower, I would not be able to come back for the 98th time."
Jiang Si's boots crushed his face, drawing blood: "You idiot, I'm giving you a wide berth, and you're already getting cocky. Believe me or not, I'll kill you right now."
Shu Xu, like a white tiger tugging at its mouth and dancing on a knife's edge, was taunting everyone, saying, "Kill me? Fine, fine, come on, if you don't kill me, you're not human..."
"Oh, I forgot, you weren't human to begin with. Your records show that you were a princess who died at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty. You were buried in the most yin place. The people who gave you the funeral wanted to use your noble bloodline to bless future generations. However, you did not decay or rot in the most yin place. You were still lifelike, just like before."
"Even though you were buried in a perfectly yin place that someone else found for you, where you remained incorruptible and lifelike, unable to bring blessings to the descendants of those who buried you, you still absorbed their good fortune. Their descendants were destined to become the rulers of the world, but because of you, they have lost all their dragon energy!"
Jiang Si looked down at him, her stomping force increasing even more as she stomped on his face until his cheekbone was visible: "You old geezer, it's been so many years, and now that you've regained your memories, your ability to make up stories is truly amazing."
"From now on, you can stop being a vampire. You can become a screenwriter and write a 4.5 million-word novel with me as the protagonist, spanning ancient and modern times as well as the future interstellar space!"
"Give me back my body! I died at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty. Which of those Qin princesses didn't have their heads separated from their bodies? Which of them didn't die without a burial place? How come I have an intact body and was able to get my hands on an extremely yin place?"
"Ha, I get it. You're just reciting the persona the lab gave me and making up stories about my origins. I have to say, the people in the lab have come up with some really good stories for the sake of immortality. They've not only fooled others, but they've also fooled you. Even if I didn't have any memories, I would have believed them."
Shu Xubai: "!!!!"
She's not a princess, damn it, so he's been fooled countless times?
Okay, she's not a princess, she's a vampire noble. The persona the people in the lab created for her is extremely accurate and fits her perfectly.
Shu Xu slapped the boot that she was stepping on his face with his white hand, the meaning was clear: he hadn't resisted yet, he was covered in mud and dirt, and his face was almost trampled, so he should take his foot away.
Jiang Si pulled her foot back, but before she did, she crushed it again, splashing mud all over his face as she pulled it back.
Shu Xubai didn't mind. He pushed himself up from the muddy ground, found a bottle of water in his space, and poured it on his face. While rinsing the dirt off his face, he said, "You didn't die at the end of the Qin Dynasty or the beginning of the Han Dynasty, so you're a zombie. When did you die?"
"The zombie records state that it originated in the Qing Dynasty. Are you a ghost from the Qing Dynasty?"
Jiang Si snorted coldly, holding the knife to her chest: "Use your Western brain and think carefully about where the earliest legends about zombies appeared."
Shu Xubai abruptly stopped washing his face, staring at her with his face still wet: "My goodness, my god, you stinky zombie, you you you..."
Jiang Si glanced at him and walked away.
In the Central Plains and Chinese history, the earliest legends about zombies can be traced back to the creation of the world, to the time of Nuwa, when the great god Pangu died and his skull turned into a roar.
The Hou was utterly wicked, so Nuwa and Fuxi joined forces to seal it away. The Hou's body touched a branch of a divine tree brought by Haotian, and after merging, it became Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen possessed an immortal body and was the supreme ancestor among zombies. Later, Ying Gou, Hou Qing, and Han Ba appeared. These four are the legendary four progenitors of zombies.
Shu Xubai followed behind her, sighing, "You stinky zombie, you wouldn't happen to be one of the four great zombies, would you? Holy crap, you're older than me, more primitive than me, you're from a myth!"
"Wow, if that's the case, you really are a legendary god, immortal, tens of millions of years old. You're so awesome. It would be amazing if my ancestors were blessed with good fortune to be my friend and my mortal enemy with you. I have to be so lucky to have you."
As Jiang Si walked, she glanced at him sideways: "Who is a god? There is no god. The so-called Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating humans, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Battle of Zhuolu, etc., are just one civilization replacing another, one civilization restarting another."
Shu Xubai raised an eyebrow: "You mean it's like you rebuild the earth, civilization is constantly overthrown, constantly restarted, constantly replaced, constantly reincarnated, and every era has its own myths and its own legends."
Jiang Si smirked: "What else did you think?"
The truth behind the myths, the truth behind history, is just like this.
Shu Xubai's heart skipped a beat. His gaze deepened as he looked at her, and his voice grew cold: "You stinking zombie, the 97th time we used our time-travel ability to return to the Abel Galaxy, you opened your eyes in an instant and found yourself in the Abel Galaxy, while I lived there for 3000 years."
“My 3,000 years have passed one day at a time, until I finally met you. This time you came back with me, but the timing is wrong. Were you transported to the earliest civilization on Earth, the one where Pangu separated heaven and earth and Nuwa mended the sky?”
Jiang Si paused, her eyes flashing with a deep light, and she spoke in a deep voice to correct him: "You old codger, you're wrong. I wasn't sent to the very beginning of the Blue Star civilization this time because of a time warp. Yan Liu and I have been back to the very beginning of the Blue Star civilization 98 times!"
“We have witnessed the origins of civilization from the very beginning of the Blue Star civilization, witnessed its collapse, occasionally intervened to disrupt it, and yet, in the process of its collapse, helped others build their own civilizations.”
"You said you've been waiting for me for 3,000 years in the Abel Galaxy, but I've been waiting for you since the very beginning of the Blue Star civilization, day after day, year after year!"
"No, it's day after day, year after year. Through the rewind of time, I've waited for you 98 times, from the very beginning of Earth civilization until now!"
