Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"In the timeline we've already experienced, Zhou Shou appeared in Linxiang City and killed Dafeng Qixi. That event has indeed taken place, but it shouldn't have happened."

"It's because Zhou Shou met Jiang Xianwu in the Endless Night, and it was after leaving the Endless Night that Zhou Shou appeared in Linxiang City."

"But if the Pioneer Jiang Xianwu hadn't appeared, how could Zhou Shou have possibly escaped from the Endless Night?"

"That place, shrouded in eternal night, where the seven Demon Emperors sent out the Demon King Hunter Zhou Shou to explore plans for the perpetual darkness."

"But Zhou Shou fell into adversity because of this; he was imprisoned in the dream of the eternal night. Just like everyone else who was trapped in that darkness."

"What I must tell you is that it was there that he acquired the name 'Zhou Shou,' and it was in version 2.23 of the Endless Night that he witnessed Jiang Xianwu use an item, defeating the eternal night."

"So he came to Linxiang City, and when he killed Dafeng Qixi, he deliberately left behind so many messages, revealing the existence of Reversers to all Pioneers."

At this point, everyone understood.

All sorts of summons in the Advanced World assume that the Pioneers have not been involved.

But for the Endless Night, if it's assumed the Pioneers were not involved, then Zhou Shou wouldn't have encountered Zhou Baiyu there.

Without meeting Zhou Baiyu, Zhou Shou would not be named Zhou Shou and would not have deliberately revealed so much information to the Pioneers in Linxiang City.

Nor would Dafeng Qixi have passed on those messages before death.

Even, Zhou Shou might never have awoken in the Endless Night, and maybe there would never be a person called Zhou Shou afterward.

This is the eeriest part; in other summons, it is assumed that Pioneers do not exist.

But in the summons of the Endless Night, the appearance of Zhou Shou seems to indicate that Pioneers do exist in this event, and that Pioneer can only be Zhou Baiyu.

Jing Shi said:

"In the timeline, it is assumed that there are no Pioneers, but now in the Endless Night, it is assumed that there are. I don't know why this is so, I only know that doing this will cause a lot of problems!"

"Mo Sangyu, as a fourth-tier Observer, you should be very clear about what place the Endless Night is, and just how low the likelihood of clearing that area is."

"And now, Jiang Xianwu has entered there, if Jiang Xianwu doesn't clear the Endless Night... then Zhou Shou will be trapped in the Endless Night."

"This would also result in Zhou Shou not appearing in Linxiang City, not leaving those messages... The reality we have experienced will be overwritten, this time not the future, but the past, present, future, all changed together. This could cause more temporal errors, triggering a disaster."

If Zhou Shou hadn't appeared in Linxiang City, Dafeng Qixi would not have died. Pioneers would not have learned of the news of Reversers. A large number of causations would have been changed as a result.

At this point, everyone realized the gravity of the issue.

Only the gambling intermediary, Sister Lin, smiled nonchalantly:

"Jing Shi, when did you become such a coward? Wouldn't it be fine as long as Jiang Xianwu clears the game? As long as he clears, meets Zhou Shou, gives him the name Zhou Shou, and asks about the Reverser, and lets Zhou Shou go to Linxiang City in the future to reveal information, won't that solve it?"

"Why bother to care why the Endless Night assumes Jiang Xianwu has participated? Why get to the bottom of it? Don't you, who play with time, understand that there are many things... that should not be scrutinized?"

If anyone is adept at playing with time, it surely must be the Time and Space God.

As a devotee of the Time and Space God, Jing Shi had actually pondered some questions.

Sister Lin's gaze grew sharp as if a sword:

"If he fails, then he fails, what's the big deal? Jing Shi, do you really think our reality has never been overwritten before?"

Jing Shi was shocked. The other intermediaries were also taken aback.

"If Jiang Xianwu fails, the past we've experienced, where Zhou Shou went to Linxiang City, will no longer exist, and then there will be a completely different new past..."

"Hehe, you have all experienced such a thing, haven't you? The very moment a Pioneer appears, it signifies that someone can travel through time, reverse causation, and the timeline already has issues."

"Do not pursue why the Endless Night assumes Jiang Xianwu went there. When humans can defy time's normal pace, how can you know, in a moment in time, there is only one you?"

"Jing Shi, you must have experienced it, right? Trying to create a portal through time, going to your own past, changing your own fate, the future you, helping the past you..."

Jing Shi's expression turned sour in an instant:

"Stop talking. I won't pursue it anymore."

Sister Lin was quite empathetic, choosing not to continue unearthing someone's secrets.

Every one of them had made mistakes. Although everyone was curious about why a timeline that assumed the presence of a Pioneer had appeared.

Why is this timeline so special?

But no one wanted their secrets exposed, after all, "Lin," when mad, was utterly impartial.

But Mo Sangyu believed, as a sage, he had to make Lin realize the seriousness of the matter:

"Lin, you should know that the future is ultimately decided by the present. This covering of the past can likely lead to widespread errors in causation..."

"After all, the series of changes made by Jiang Xianwu resulted in the absence of the Seamstress's hindrance, Jiang Xianwu weakened the Seamstress, but also aggrandized the eternal night... This is a big variable."
