Xia Chuhe looked at the watch, puzzled.
Each time you jump to another timeline, it consumes about 30% of your energy. After going to three timelines, you still have 10% of your energy left. What's the use of the remaining energy?
Her doubts were quickly answered.
Xia Chuhe has returned home, to the home where he has lived the longest in modern society.
She returned to the study where she had transmigrated, the computer inside covered in dust. The calendar beside her was frozen on the day Xia Chuhe transmigrated, equally gray.
Xia Qingxue sat at another desk, writing something anxiously, with crumpled pieces of paper piled up beside her.
This is the point in time after she traveled through time and her family disappeared.
I don't know why my mother is here.
Perhaps the disappearance of her family members was just an accident; they accidentally left the "instance" and found a way back. Unfortunately, they returned too late; Xia Chuhe had already "traveled" through time.
Xia Chuhe slowly walked behind Xia Qingxue, wanting to see what she had written, but what first caught his eye were a few strands of white hair.
In the previous timeline, Xia Qingxue was still very young. Suddenly experiencing her mother's transformation from youth to middle age, Xia Chuhe felt a tightness in her heart, a sharp, bitter feeling.
She strained to shift her gaze to the note Xia Qingxue was writing—
Do not initiate a genetic testing program.
Don't gamble with your descendants.
Stay away from civilization instances
...
Land is the safest place; don't let her access the game.
...
Xia Qingxue arranged the slips of paper in order and used her supernatural ability again and again to send them to the past, exchanging food, weapons, clothes, soil and so on.
As Xia Qingxue used her powers more often, her face grew paler and paler.
Xia Chuhe wanted to hold her hand to stop her from overworking herself, but her hand slipped through her mother's hand.
There's always a paradox about going back in time and changing history—history cannot be changed, and if history is changed, the future will also change, making the possibility of going back in time uncertain.
Unless, at some point in the future and in history, a cycle is formed, just like the time-space journey that Xia Chuhe experienced this time.
What Xia Chuhe did was to fill in the gaps in history that should have happened.
But what Xia Qingxue wanted to do was change history.
Xia Qingxue's actions could only have two outcomes: either she was wasting her time and history wouldn't be changed by a few small notes from the future.
Another possibility is that she did change history, the situation changed, and the future changed, but at the point where the change occurred, the world went down a different path, namely a parallel world.
It has nothing to do with the current world.
Xia Chuhe closed his eyes, feeling a little sad but also very relaxed.
It's sad that my mother's efforts were in vain, and sad that the missed opportunities and regrets have already occurred.
But more than anything, her life wasn't planned out, at least not at this moment.
When Xia Chuhe finally shed the shackles that had bound her for so long, she finally returned to the real world.
Although this journey through time was short, the arid town was completely transformed, now filled with water molecules and the air smelled damp.
Even the parched sandy land has changed; the dry sand has been washed away by water, revealing the dark ground beneath, as if soil were hidden there.
Xia Chuhe rubbed the soil on the ground and smelled it. It wasn't much different from modern soil. He wondered how polluted it was and whether it was suitable for planting.
Xia Chuhe was thinking of connecting his wristwatch to the internet to synchronize the time when a little girl suddenly ran over from not far away.
"elder sister!"
Bao'er ran very fast, and when she got close, she pounced and hugged Xia Chuhe's leg.
Xia Chuhe was swayed by her weight and, holding her shoulders, asked, "Why aren't you home?"
"I came here to wait for you," Bao'er muttered. "And there's this annoying guy who came along too."
After Xia Chuhe left and Li Qiusheng led a group of people back to Taotie City, Bao'er and 04, taking advantage of their free time and still feeling uneasy, decided to wait in a different place together.
The dragon girl is now learning about human society from 04 and has come along. She learned some characters from 04 and decided on her name—Gu Da.
The moisture in the dry city was caused by Gu Da.
Once, Gu Da was bullied by Bao'er and cried so hard that water was everywhere, which surprised the local residents of Zaocheng.
From then on, the residents of Zaocheng would beg her and cry every few days.
She has a very accommodating nature; she cried on and off for two days without worrying about ruining her eyes.
Xia Chuhe listened and laughed. His wristwatch was connected to the internet, and he discovered that only four days had passed since the wasteland was discovered.
The four days were peaceful, with only Li Qiusheng sending her trivial messages each day, asking if she had returned. Bu Yi was also having a headache about how to settle Sha Feng.
Xia Chuhe first informed Li Qiusheng that he was safe and sound, and if everything was alright, he would return to Taotie City in the next two days.
He then reassured Bu Yi to calm down.
Although Xia Chuhe and Sha Feng spent very little time together, she could already tell that Sha Feng was a capable and shrewd person, more than capable of managing Sha City, and that she didn't need to learn anything from her.
The old city lord of Shacheng had Sha Feng accompany him mainly because he was afraid that Xia Chuhe would break his promise and take away Shacheng's rule energy for nothing.
Xia Chuhe hadn't yet figured out how to compensate Sha Cheng. Since Sha Feng was going to come along, she would just have to keep an eye on her for now.
There are not many original inhabitants left in Zao City, only about a hundred people. They have elected one of their own as the city lord.
Xia Chuhe greeted the city lord and then prepared to leave.
The city lord tried his best to persuade her to stay, mainly because he wanted the dragon girl to stay.
Xia Chuhe asked Gu Da for his opinion.
Gu Da nodded first, then shook his head: "I want to learn from the teacher. I'll come back when I've learned it well."
Gu Da secretly punched Bao'er: "One day, I will definitely beat you."
Bao'er laughed, then turned her face away from her.
Gu Da must have cried for the first time in Zaocheng because he lost to Bao'er.
Xia Chuhe exchanged pleasantries with the city lord of Zaocheng: "I'll take the child home first, and I'll bring her over when she wants to come play later."
The city lord looked at Gu Da with reluctance, wishing she could come and play right now: "Alright...you're welcome to come anytime."
Bao'er stood behind Xia Chuhe, looking at a small child among the indigenous people. The child had pulled her hair, which she disliked.
The child met Bao'er's gaze and made a face at her.
Bao'er turned her head away in annoyance. She was already a big girl, so she shouldn't tell her older sister.
