On the empty grassland, Bai Xi and the little ghost were staring at each other.
"Don't you recognize me?"
Bai Xi asked.
Why is there a contract between us!?
The little ghost was utterly shocked because he had never told any human his real name.
"???"
This time, Bai Xi was completely bewildered.
Good grief, they made a pact to travel through time and save the world, and she actually came along and saved the world, but her friends don't recognize her anymore.
Both sides found the other strange, but because of the contract, they had no choice but to sit down and have a proper conversation.
Bai Xi quieted down and began to explain from the beginning.
The little ghost listened quietly, occasionally showing a thoughtful expression, but mostly looking confused.
He only fell into deep thought after Bai Xi stopped talking.
"Don't speak yet, let me sort this out."
The little ghost rubbed its forehead and gestured for people to stop arguing.
However, his action also made Bai Xi notice something different. The little ghost in front of her, although it was also a high-level elf and had the appearance of a young boy, seemed to be... quite different from the little ghost that had traveled through time with her.
It's not just about clothing, it's also about one's demeanor.
The one in front of her was clearly more mature and composed. If it were the little ghost beside her, it would have already gotten angry because of her words and wouldn't have seriously considered whether what she said was true.
After all, that guy doesn't trust humans at all.
"So, you came from the future to save the world, and we were very good friends in that future timeline, which is why I gave you my real name?"
He rattled off a long list of conclusions, and Bai Xi listened while nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
"..."
The little ghost fell silent.
Bai Xi waited and waited, but there was no response from the little ghost, so she could only ask again cautiously.
"I'm not lying, it's true."
She didn't want to rebuild her relationship with the little ghost from scratch; that was a terrible option.
But now.....
She wasn't sure if the little ghost in front of her was the same little ghost she knew.
Just as Bai Xi had this thought, the little ghost in front of her finally spoke.
"Although I don't know exactly what you did to make the future believe in you, I have no interest in the conflicts between living beings, nor do I have any feelings about the abyss. My identity is that of a primordial elf, and I only like to record all the history and magic in this world, and observe this history as a writer."
“I will not interfere with the course of history, nor will I try to change it, so what you said makes me feel very strange.”
The little ghost explained to Bai Xi with a serious expression, but it was most likely because of the True Name Contract.
"You? You're a primordial elf?!"
Bai Xi only noticed the most crucial issue. Her expression changed unpredictably, finally settling on the primordial spirit in her memory space that resembled the little ghost.
Since she had only seen the appearance of the primordial spirit at birth, which was just a simple little ghost, she didn't react when she saw this high-level little ghost in front of her. Now that she thinks about it, it was actually a premonition.
"Yes, I am a primordial elf."
The little ghost calmly nodded, then turned to look at Loy beside Bai Xi.
However, upon touching Roy's face, the little ghost's expression clearly paused for a moment, then turned into an indescribable expression, one that was hard to describe as surprise or joy.
"Does he have a contract with you too?!"
The little ghost actually grabbed Bai Xi's arm and asked nervously.
"?"
Although Bai Xi felt strange, she nodded nonetheless.
"I can help you, I'll do anything, as long as you break the contract!"
The little ghost's tone became urgent, even pleading.
"???"
This time, Bai Xi and Luo Yi were both stunned, their faces full of question marks.
Even if this guy doesn't have memories of the future, he shouldn't say such outrageous things.
"No way! Bai Xi and I are best friends! Why should we break the contract!"
Roy frowned, rejected his request without hesitation, and felt very strange.
"you...."
The little ghost's face showed the annoyance that Bai Xi was familiar with, as if he couldn't accept that Roy had refused his request. But he quickly composed himself, took a deep breath, tried his best to be patient, and spoke earnestly to Roy.
"Have you forgotten? I am your best friend, and I don't want to lose you again."
His sad expression didn't seem fake, but the familiar rhythm made Bai Xi feel a little complicated.
Because of this scene, she always felt as if she had seen it before.
"I don't know you."
Roy took a half step back. He could tell whether the guy in front of him was the little ghost he knew. At least for this moment, he felt that this was not the little ghost he knew. So he didn't think too much and flew back behind Bai Xi.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
Bai Xi was caught in the middle, feeling like the villain who broke up her best friend.
"...Wait, this Roy isn't your familiar friend; he came from the future with me."
Helpless, she could only speak up to explain.
Although theoretically Roy is the child created by the Elemental King and shouldn't know the Primal Spirits that existed in this era, she originally thought the Little Ghost was an ordinary Elemental Spirit that was born later. Now it has transformed into a Primal Spirit, so Bai Xi is very accepting of everything.
It's just two good friends turning into primordial spirits, that's all... that's all...
Okay, actually I can't really accept it.
This is absolutely terrible.
Bai Xi's heart was like a rollercoaster, going up and down.
“I didn’t mistake him. The aura he exudes is... him. Besides, his name is also Roy.”
The little ghost shook his head; he wasn't lying.
"..."
Bai Xi felt dizzy, but she still forced herself to ask.
"Who is this 'him' you're talking about?"
I always feel like I'm caught in some kind of friendship that spans three lifetimes.
"He was a primordial light spirit, but... he died very young."
The little ghost's expression darkened, and he made no attempt to hide his sadness as he spoke.
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Xi sighed deeply.
Well, it's a bit strange, but it's also somewhat expected.
It seems that only one original entity can exist in a given timeline. Therefore, the original little ghost exists, but the little ghost that was supposed to come with her disappeared. As for Roy...
It's almost certain that the Roy in this timeline had already been confirmed to have dissipated and died, which is why the Roy beside her was able to travel through time with her.
I just don't know how the King of Elements managed to preserve a primordial elemental spirit intact and make it his and Philomona's child.
