Long Xun's plan was really good. After class, he would arrange to meet Cen Qiu somewhere to talk, reveal his identity as a dragon, and then turn her back into a man.
That's how this world came to be. It's that simple, isn't it?
However, Long Xun forgot that this world was not entirely the ordinary, unremarkable modern society in the original work, devoid of any cultivators, including Qigong masters. Instead, it was a world where, due to being stuck on the alien fruit, the rules had been constantly rewound and rewritten after the female protagonist's marriage to adapt to the alien fruit, and the rules had long since been partially altered.
What's even stranger is that in this world of rewinding and restarting, the rewinding speed eventually becomes faster and faster, and then... a world can't stand such frequent rewinding, becomes more chaotic, and is close to collapse.
This is actually the root cause.
The reason Long Xun understood all this was partly due to his instinctive understanding of the world's rules after becoming a dragon, and partly because his keen divine sense suddenly detected spiritual energy fluctuations that shouldn't have appeared in this world. He rushed over before anyone else could think of anything, and then... he saw a middle-aged man with supernatural abilities.
"..." What happened to the promised normal modern society?! Damn it!!
Sensing something was wrong, Long Xun spread his divine sense outwards. It didn't reach the entire world, but just City A was enough.
He detected no fewer than a hundred people with their own spiritual energy fluctuations. Although this was a small number compared to the tens of millions of people in City A, he understood that when he first arrived in this world, he discovered with his divine sense that there wasn't a single person in the world carrying spiritual energy.
All of these people were added during this period.
Long Xun could deduce that they all began to mutate after Cen Qiu ate the alien fruit.
When you calculate it this way, the base number is terrifying. And this is just one city, A. Imagine if it spreads to the whole province, the whole country, the whole world... who knows how many people like this there are?
Okay, Long Xun's description of spiritual power carriers is not very clear. To use a more understandable term, these people are "superpowered individuals".
What will happen to the world when superhumans emerge in large numbers?
Certainly, some people want to study it, and some people with superpowers feel that they are superior to others. However, this world has never had such a thing before, and therefore has never had the means or experience to deal with such a thing.
If it were a completely peaceful world, chaos would be inevitable. People would be able to resolve the chaos themselves in no time. Whether it was the redistribution of power or the suppression of superhumans, the world would be indifferent.
However, the small world cannot follow this path, and the small world born from the novel is even less likely to do so.
Unless the novel explicitly mentions that chaos occurred in this world, or that turmoil occurred after the entire storyline had ended, disrupting the world's progress would result in time reversal and everything starting over. At the same time, the laws of nature need to adapt to the existence of the Extraordinary Fruit, so the spiritual energy of the world becomes increasingly concentrated with each rebirth, causing Cen Qiu's abilities to erupt faster and faster after consuming the Extraordinary Fruit.
A vicious cycle.
Long Xun thought this was a simple beginner's task, but he never expected that it would be such a difficult large-scale task right from the start!
This is outrageous!
That doesn't make sense! Which transmigrator doesn't start with a beginner mission to get through the preparation period before tackling something this difficult?!
...However, no other transmigrator became invincible immediately upon transmigrating like him.
Fine, let's just consider the beginner quests as replacing the cheat codes.
Thinking of this, Long Xun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If it weren't for the dragon's keen senses that detected something amiss, he probably would have really fought Cen Qiu to the bitter end and might have discovered the problem with the superhuman, but by then it would definitely have been too late.
It's important to understand that possessing spiritual power and being aware of and starting to use it are two different things.
There are indeed several ways to eliminate the effects of the alien fruit. If it were the world of the original work, it would be the simplest. Whether you kill it or change the body's constitution, it's all a matter for one person.
And now... Cen Qiu is just a catalyst. Not to mention the subsequent development of the world, she has no control over it, not even the laws of nature. All she can do is reset it when everything collapses to the extreme.
"Troublesome." Long Xun rested his hand on his forehead, listening to the teacher read the textbook like it was gibberish, while analyzing the current situation in his mind.
Most importantly, the male and female protagonists are currently untouchable. Their romantic journey follows the original storyline, and they can play a role in protecting the world without being disturbed.
As long as the main storyline doesn't go awry, he has more than a year to clean up this world, eliminate the mutations of the alien fruit... which basically means that as long as the future doesn't descend into chaos, can get back on track, and allow the laws to continue to unfold, then it's all good.
Time is too tight; it seems he won't have time to go to school.
"Long Xun? Long Xun?"
After Long Xun withdrew his divine sense, he was lost in thought and didn't pay attention to his surroundings until he heard a slightly familiar voice.
Upon looking up, Lord Dragon God was immediately speechless.
Before me stood an exceptionally handsome face, with sparkling deep blue eyes and a wide smile revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Even someone you barely know or pay attention to would be remembered if you bumped into them every few days, let alone someone so strikingly good-looking.
Yin Chen!
Long Xun's mind was flooded with comments. What the hell was this guy doing? Why did this guy keep appearing in front of him? The book only has four chapters so far, and this guy is in three of them!
Yin Chen sat down happily in the seat next to Long Xun. The teacher on the podium didn't care. Some university teachers are in charge, while others are laissez-faire. This one was the laissez-faire one.
