Huanbo, who was standing next to him, was startled. Then he saw that Chang Le's face was pale and his body was extremely tense. He quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Or are you injured?"
Chang Le had no energy to explain to him. She grabbed his wrist, stood up abruptly, and used vines to encircle Song Xinglin and Mei Shishi. Ignoring the teachers' and other classmates' advice, she insisted on getting off the bus.
Unable to stop them, the teacher could only instruct them to remain at the surveillance point in this secret realm while they left first.
As Chang Le watched the car full of examinees and Ying Shaochuan drive away, it was as if he saw the train of fate redraw its tracks, separating from the one they were on.
It wasn't until Huanbo said the car had left and then asked worriedly that Chang Le, who had been tense for too long, finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief, as if someone who had been suffocating for many years was finally breathing in plenty of fresh air.
"Lele?" Huanbo was quite startled. He gently patted her back, letting her tightly wrap her other wrist around his.
They returned to Chang'an Academy the next day, having already received the devastating news from Ying Shaochuan and the others before their departure. Huanbo and the other two were filled with lingering fear and astonishment at Chang Le's precognitive abilities, but none of them tacitly asked any questions.
Chang Le has not yet fully recovered her sense of reality; the changes before her eyes still feel like a dream.
Until she saw the plaque of Chang'an Academy again, and saw the "September 14th" that she would never have seen before, until Fu Guang rushed over and hugged her tightly.
Chang Le suddenly burst into tears.
She really did it, changing what was destined to be a fatal accident.
She cried herself to sleep in Fu Guang's arms, and when she woke up she was in her own bed, with Fu Guang lying next to her.
They gazed at each other, kissed passionately, embraced, and in their speechlessness, expressed their endless tenderness and attachment through their bodies in the most primal way.
Just as Chang Le was getting excited, Fu Guang keenly noticed her unusual behavior and sharply asked those questions.
"Why did you look at me with the eyes of someone you've never seen before when I woke up from my coma?"
"Why are you afraid I'll leave you? Has something happened to me that you 'saw'?"
Before Chang Le could even think of how to explain, all the beauty before her eyes was suddenly shattered.
Time and space have been reversed, and she has returned to that shimmering starry river.
In the Milky Way, one star dimmed and died.
The first cycle has ended.
Because a key figure perceives the "truth," affecting the normal process, the cycle collapses.
Chang Le thought that thousands of years of panic had only brought him this moment of illusion, and he almost screamed, but then he saw that the other stars were safe and sound.
She clutched her hair, panting heavily. After finally managing to suppress her despair and forcing herself to calm down, she tentatively reached out to touch the starry sky beneath her feet once more.
The second star shines, and the second cycle begins.
...
Chang Le chose to go to the summer before choosing Chang'an Academy and dragged Huan Bo to change his application to other academies.
On their way back after the exam, they unexpectedly encountered a group of Chang'an Academy candidates whose car had broken down. Chang Le watched helplessly as Ying Shaochuan got into the car, then immediately pulled Huan Bo out. But they hadn't run far when a bombardment swept in from behind.
They couldn't escape, because other alien species had already blocked their path.
...
The third time, Chang Le chose to get off the bus before returning from the Chang'an Academy assessment, thus avoiding death en route.
She returned home safely, pretending it had only been ten days since she last saw him, and claiming she had a bad dream. Although Fu Guang was somewhat suspicious, he didn't ask anything, but simply comforted her in a low voice and stayed by her side.
However, her bizarre escape attracted the attention of the Qin family, which led to the exposure of Jiu Fanggui, Qi Qi, Fu Guang, and the entire Jingchen Mountain God-Making Laboratory.
Chang Le was still killed at the age of eighteen. Fu Guang risked serious injury to preserve a wisp of her soul. Jiu Fang Gui and Qi Qi continued to work hard and sacrifice everything to revive her.
The predetermined fate has not actually been changed.
...
The fourth time, to verify the conjecture based on the results of the previous three times, Chang Le directly chose to travel back to the year he was seventeen years old in the Hua family.
A month before Fu Guang perished in the Northern Border, before the Hua family and the region had noticed her strict surveillance, she ran away from the Hua family and found Fu Guang. Almost unreasonably, she dragged Fu Guang away and took him to the desolate volcanic region of Mosander.
She no longer had the energy to pretend her abnormality. Fortunately, before the results were verified, Fu Guang did not ask any questions involving the "truth".
She hoped to hide here for a few months to avoid Fu Guang's calamity. Fu Guang did not object, letting her be willful and forget everything in the Ninth District, and stayed with her in hiding.
However, a month later, Chang Le fell ill with a strange disease that came on suddenly without any warning or precedent. She became delirious and soon lost the ability to eat or speak.
In a daze, Chang Le was still sent back to the Hua family by Fu Guang, while he returned to the Ninth District and headed to the Northern Border Old Ruins.
As they parted, Fu Guang gently kissed the corner of her lips, but Chang Le was unable to respond.
She sadly discovered that it was as if a giant hand had descended from the sky, forcefully blocking all her exits and arranging the trajectory of her fate.
Through four reincarnations, Chang Le confirmed that as the protagonists and the subjects of the reincarnation's purpose, her and Fu Guang's fates were predetermined and could not be changed. Even if they were changed, they would ultimately die in other ways at roughly the same time.
Similarly, her resurrection was also etched into her destiny.
...
Since life and death cannot be changed, then we can only change other plot points.
From the fifth to the tenth time, Chang Le verified that Jiu Fang Gui and Qi Qi's destinies could not be changed due to the former's special circumstances; the Yin Tong's arrival time was before her birth, exceeding the reincarnation setting range and could not be changed; Ye Bu Qi, Kazmir, She Hao Yun, and others who were not within the main reincarnation restrictions could change their life and death.
