Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Transfer station, several days ago.

Following significant changes in Linxiang City, considering the feasibility of a certain method, Zhou Baiyu traveled to the transfer station.

"Just use it like this?" Lin frowned upon hearing Zhou Baiyu's question.

Zhou Baiyu proposed a concept of returning to the past, pondering whether he could solve the problem before everything fermented through his own privileges.

Lin replied seriously:

"Indeed, versions are calculated based on major event nodes. The current version 1.0, which is your world, has two major events."

"The first major event is the first round of defense mode. Then comes the second round."

"Anyway, if you choose to go to version 1.0, you will be assigned to one of the two events."

"This is indeed feasible. But do you really want to do this?"

Lin looked at Zhou Baiyu, her expression exceptionally serious:

"This might be your chance to change the world."

Zhou Baiyu said:

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't resort to my trump card, I'm quite stingy."

"Especially after having seen so many atrocities, I'm not even sure if what I'm doing is worth it."

"But this has been my home since I was a child, and there are countless people here I know. If it were somewhere else, I might be more selfish and treat them all as NPCs in the Advanced World game..."

"But Linxiang City is different. Honestly, when I heard from you, Lin, that this method was feasible, I suddenly felt more confident."

Zhou Baiyu revealed a happy smile.

His intuition had always been extraordinarily accurate. This time, he could foresee that the guy from the second round of defense mode might cause further trouble in Linxiang City.

And the atrocities committed against Linxiang City by other regions had made it impossible for Linxiang City to return to what it once was.

Zhou Baiyu could not accept such a mess.

"Then I hope you won't need to use it, or... I hope this time, the gods will favor you."

Lin left her blessings.

...

A few days later, the two met again.

After a grand death ceremony took place at Times Square, Zhou Baiyu disappeared under the gaze of the crowd.

He had come to the transfer station again.

This time, although Zhou Baiyu appeared calm, Lin could feel that there seemed to be a sort of shackle within Zhou Baiyu.

"In the past, whenever you defeated an enemy and came back to me, you were all smiles. What happened this time? Such a heavy demeanor."

Lin mixed a drink.

Zhou Baiyu shook his head, recalling a recent scene:

"Although I know everything can be traced back, everything can be reversed... when that scene happened, I still felt that the world I lived in was being played with by those gods beyond recognition!"

Being able to face a moral dilemma is one thing, making a choice within such a dilemma is another matter entirely.

It's like falling in a dream—actually, as soon as you open your eyes, the fall comes to a sudden stop.

But looking back at everything still feels terrifying.

Zhou Baiyu was somewhat terrified.

Without a doubt, he had slain Ryan, the boss of the second round of defense mode.

He had won, but the gods' disturbance of Linxiang City and their actions in sowing the seeds of inherent evil in people's hearts had already come to fruition.

Polluting seed, corrupt seed, at their core, are hidden within strong obsessions.

In a peaceful world, these obsessions might not erupt easily, but in a world twisted by violence, these obsessions easily become bait for parasites.

Humanity can never return to the state it was in before the "Sincerity Virus" appeared.

The days of "carnival" had already planted all the evil consequences.

"Is it time to open your eyes and end the fall, isn't it?" Lin lifted her glass.

Zhou Baiyu quickly adjusted his mindset:

"Yes. I've identified the target's appearance and name, I will kill him thoroughly before he becomes a threat."

Only after truly confirming that Ryan was the source of contamination could Zhou Baiyu be assured of returning to the past, ensuring he did not kill the wrong person.

Now, everything was ready.

Lin said:

"I must remind you of something. If... you go back to the first round story node of version 1.0's defense mode."

"You'd better not let anyone know about your existence."

"The previous you, going to the Advanced World, you weren't originally part of that world. After all, as you know, the Advanced World and your world are two different realities."

"That world does not have the real you."

"But another world where you live, does have you, in that world, you exist."

"Before you purify the source of contamination... please do not meet yourself. Going to the Advanced World, you will use an Advanced form, which is your identity as Jiang Xianwu."

"But going to the version 1.0, you will still be in your own form. Only a Reverser is qualified to use the body from the Advanced World to enter your world."

"Please try not to alter history, or it could cause a butterfly effect you cannot imagine, leading to you fixing one mistake while making many more. Remember, never arrogantly think that you can control everything, you only have one chance."

"But after purifying the source of contamination, it is possible—and even necessary—for you to meet once."

"Did you get that? This is advice."

Lin was very serious, speaking each word slowly and clearly, all to ensure that Zhou Baiyu understood.

Zhou Baiyu nodded.

The temptation to return to the past was great. For instance... he could directly prevent Zhang Haoyun from becoming a demon lord-level figure.
