Welcome to Rewind World Game

Yi Zhongyu shook his head: "The Lv Family has made too many enemies, it's inevitable they'll invite disaster. But the Old Day Church is too dangerous, you must not go."

The Assassin retorted: "It was the Old Day Church that killed everyone in our Yi Family, now they've slaughtered the Lv Family, I must avenge. I heard the Old Day Church has a stele that can prophesy the destiny of the entire world. If I can get close to that stele, I'll know many secrets."

Yi Zhongyu sighed.

The Assassin gripped Yi Zhongyu's hand tightly: "Brother, recently the First Dream Patrol Family has emerged suddenly. The Ancient Martial Families are suspicious, thinking they were probably arranged by deities, as no one knows their identity or background. The world is becoming more chaotic, we can't just sit and wait for death."

Yi Zhongyu shook his head: "It's too dangerous, such a perilous thing isn't meant for you..."

The Assassin smiled: "Brother, you hold an important position in the City Guardian Department, risking your life for humanity, allow me to do my part too. I've always fallen short compared to you, in my eyes, you were like 'the perfect child from others' families.' This time I've made up my mind, don't try to persuade me."

Yi Zhongyu tried to persuade a bit more, but the Assassin didn't listen at all and turned to leave.

Finally, the Assassin successfully infiltrated the Old Day Church and became a small Captain. His position kept advancing, and he gradually pinpointed the location of the Prophecy Stele. But the more he understood the Old Day Church, the more confused he became.

"The people here call themselves living in Paradise, their lives were supposed to be executed by the Union Government, yet they found new life here."

"The Old Day Church seems not purely evil, but their slaughter of civilians and bombing of cities, I cannot forgive."

"The position of the Sect Hierarch has always been vacant, exactly who are they waiting for to become the Sect Hierarch?"

The longer he stayed in the Old Day Church, the more he perceived his mental condition deteriorating. Finally, one day, he realized, he could no longer return to the life of a normal person. He had long lived with Exotic Species, causing irreversible harm to his spirit. In the end, he chose to assassinate Su Ming'an today—because Su Ming'an was someone the Vice Sect Hierarch valued greatly and was likely to be the next Key Figure of the Old Day Church, even the long-vacant Sect Hierarch position.

This was a suicide attack, success or perish. He had already sensed his mental state nearing collapse, time running short, might as well contribute something to humanity in the end, even if it meant dying.

"Brother..."

This was the last echo in his heart after being pressed against the wall by white tendrils.

...

After the memory ended, Su Ming'an sensed a third point of light appeared in his mind, aligned with the memory light points of the previous two people.

...

Each time he killed someone, Su Ming'an would absorb their memories.

Su Ming'an gazed at the corpse against the wall, sighing inwardly. He searched through his mind's memories and found Yi Hengchuan had almost pinpointed the location of the Prophecy Stele.

Utilizing the information in his mind and the underground password the captured told him before, Su Ming'an planned to locate the Prophecy Stele at night.

Su Ming'an, employing Spatial Concealment, first buried Yi Hengchuan's body and then proceeded to the target location. He descended a spiral staircase, walked a distance forward, until several soaring cream-colored churches stood before him. Despite it being night, the church remained brightly lit, with light streaming through stained-glass windows.

Using Spatial Displacement, he leapt over the entry barricade and stepped into the church. A crisp "ding" echoed as the smooth, porcelain floor met his leather boots.

He lifted his head, vaguely perceiving a pitch-black stele at the church's end—likely the legendary Prophecy Stele.

As he was about to advance, he suddenly heard footsteps from the church entrance.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A figure appeared at the church entrance—it was Xiao Jingsan.

...Why was Xiao Jingsan at the church at night?

Su Ming'an promptly hid behind a wide pillar, pressing his back tightly against the cold pillar surface. He was unsure if Xiao Jingsan's true power exceeded his own, and Spatial Concealment might not effectively hide him from Xiao Jingsan, so he needed to evade as much as possible.

Su Ming'an held his breath, slowed his heartbeat.

Xiao Jingsan seemed unaware of Su Ming'an, his steps steady, walking forward step by step.

"Click, click, click."

Clear moonlight cascaded over Xiao Jingsan, outlining the ruby earring dangling from his right earlobe, skimming over the gently swaying cross pendant on his chest, then falling to diffuse a circle of pure white shadow at his feet. His ghastly white mask was sharper, like human bones cast, chilling to behold.

Su Ming'an's acuity warned him—this Xiao Jingsan seemed different from the daytime. Xiao Jingsan's aura now felt significantly solemn and dangerous, like a profound abyss.

Whereas daytime Xiao Jingsan resembled an innocent idealist, this night-time Xiao Jingsan appeared more solemn and mature.

"Xiao Jingsan has an aura of divinity now," Little Love's voice penetrated Su Ming'an's mind. Su Ming'an glanced down, seeing the fox Little Love had unknowingly returned, sitting on his right shoulder, its fluffy big tail swaying.

Su Ming'an used his gaze to ask her—could this Xiao Jingsan be a deity?

Considering that Li Mingyue had previously invited a god to possess him, it wasn't surprising if Xiao Jingsan could do the same.

"Uncertain, not everyone with divine aura is a god." Little Love shook her big tail, voice reaching directly into Su Ming'an's mind: "Like you have divine aura too. And not low."

Su Ming'an pressed down on the restless Little Love on his shoulder.

Xiao Jingsan had already entered the church and was standing beneath the massive stained glass at the far end.

Moonlight streamed through the colorful glass, engulfing Xiao Jingsan's entire body in a mottled, hazy glow. He slightly lifted his chin, and the lines on his face were sharply drawn by the light. At that moment, he raised his hand and removed the mask from his face.

...Xiao Jingsan removed his mask!

Su Ming'an stretched his neck, and Little Love followed suit, trying to catch a glimpse of Xiao Jingsan's appearance. However, Xiao Jingsan had his back towards them, revealing only a pale patch of skin.

Xiao Jingsan raised his head, seemingly observing something. In front of him was a giant white marble statue. Due to the distance, Su Ming'an couldn't discern the features of the marble statue. Xiao Jingsan appeared to be gazing at it intently.

"Get a little closer! Let's get a bit closer to see what Xiao Jingsan looks like!" urged Little Love.

"…" Su Ming'an didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he stealthily approached a few steps under the guise of spatial concealment until he could see Xiao Jingsan's face clearly.

In an instant, Su Ming'an was stunned.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Jingsan's brows slightly furrowed, his eyes beneath his lashes deep black, not clear but filled with profound melancholy, laden with depression and sorrow.

But this wasn't the reason for Su Ming'an's shock.

What shocked Su Ming'an was the resemblance of Xiao Jingsan's appearance to his own. It was an exact replica, akin to the Eldest Prince and his doppelgänger in "Louyue Nation."

"Hm? Su Ming'an, why does this Xiao Jingsan look exactly like you?" Little Love smacked her lips, "Is this guy so lacking in class that he even steals your face? Does he not have his own face?"

...Why is this happening?

Su Ming'an didn't understand.

Instinct told him this wasn't due to reasons like "The Original" or "Copy."

"I suspect it's deliberate, perhaps he's making his face look like yours on purpose. Then, causing trouble with your face so everyone will think you're the villain," Little Love said.

Su Ming'an shook his head, doubting Little Love's speculation. Xiao Jingsan always wore a mask and wasn't impersonating Su Ming'an to commit wrongful acts.

While Su Ming'an was still pondering, Xiao Jingsan approached the marble statue.

The features of this marble statue were blurred. It held a snow-white longsword in one hand and a snow-white balance in the other, with wings gently raised as if mythological angelic antennae.

Xiao Jingsan gazed at this statue, with profound sorrow hidden in his eyes. He reached out, not touching the body of the marble statue, only gently and nostalgically caressing the sword and balance.

It was as if his eyes could see only these soft whites, caressing the stones in an exceptionally strange yet gentle manner.

This pathological display sent shivers down Su Ming'an's spine.

…Indeed, Xiao Jingsan's mental state was worrying, coming to caress stones at night with such a pathological expression.

"I feel like you attract madmen," Little Love said, "Little Shen, Little Xu, Little Sai, Little Qian, Little Lin, Little Bei, Little Te, Little Jing, each crazier than the last in unique ways."

Su Ming'an was at a loss for words.

Xiao Jingsan's actions weren't finished. He extended his hand, letting his fingers hover over the marble statue's face.

The statue's features were indistinct, only the outline of eyes visible. Xiao Jingsan maintained a distance of a few centimeters, his hand trailing over this face. Then he lowered it, lightly touching the neck and shoulders of the statue but going no further.

Although it was a pathological act, Su Ming'an inexplicably felt reverence. Xiao Jingsan wasn't simply caressing a lifeless statue, but rather meticulously washing away the dust from it. Each movement conveyed restraint and humility, like an ant in purgatory praying for heaven's forgiveness.

Suddenly, Su Ming'an recalled the brief mentions of "Old God" and "Supreme God" in the scriptures, sensing this world was deeply intertwined with mythology.

Five minutes later, Xiao Jingsan finally halted his movements. He sighed at the statue, turned around, and walked to the other side of the church where a pitch-black stone wall stood.

"Prophecy Stone Wall, please reveal destiny." Xiao Jingsan looked at the wall.

—Is this the Prophecy Stone Wall?

Su Ming'an's heart stirred; reportedly, this wall could foretell the world's and individuals' destinies, an extraordinary object.

Lines of text slowly emerged on the wall:

[In the year 827 of the Old Days, on February 8th, Su Wensheng personally killed the first Dream Patrol Family member.]

Only this single line of text appeared, lingering for a few seconds before disappearing, reverting back to a plain stone wall.

…February 8th?

Su Ming'an was slightly taken aback. So the wall truly could predict destiny. But this destiny was truly...

Xiao Jingsan finished reading the wall and was about to turn and leave.

—Just then, footsteps echoed from the church entrance.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The footsteps were slow and solemn.

Su Ming'an immediately grew alert. He hadn't expected there to be a third person coming to this church. He pressed his back tightly against the pillar, hiding in its shadow to avoid detection.

A young girl in a pure white gown slowly entered the church, her posture dignified. Her black hair was tied up with white crystal, her dress shimmering with snowflake-like brilliance, her features extremely beautiful, as if sculpted by the hand of God, her eyes the purest jade green.

Su Ming'an sneaked a glance, his heart filled with shock.

"Anjiang, this girl is the one from the game!" Little Love was also taken aback, her entire fluffy tail puffing up.

The girl with black hair and emerald eyes, possessing stunning features—wasn't she Asagao, the orphaned village girl from "Louyue Nation"? She was merely an orphan living in a seaside village, oppressed by villagers even when seeking medical treatment. After Su Ming'an boarded the giant ship to Penglai Fairy Island, she stayed behind in the Capital City.

…She was a game character, yet now she appeared in reality.

Su Ming'an felt as if a barrier between dimensions had broken, like a character from a story coming to life before his eyes.

Come to think of it, he had encountered several instances where reality mirrored the game settings.

The first was in reality, when a youth named "Hei Que" established the Huo Muli'er Nation, wielding the Sword of Destiny and declaring rebellion against deities. At the same time, news of the founding of Huo Muli'er Nation spread in "Girl's Dream Project."

The second was in reality, when a [Relic] was discovered. Simultaneously in "Girl's Dream Project," Princess Avetina mentioned the recent discovery of such [Relics]. The timing of both events aligned remarkably—Princess Avetina mentioned the relics by day, and the relics were found in reality by night.

The third instance was the emergence of news about the "forthcoming revival of the Exotic Species King" in reality. Concurrently, a Main Quest to "slay the Exotic Species King" appeared in "Girl's Dream Project."

The fourth time was in reality, where Shadow was besieged on the execution platform due to his dual identity as an Eligible and Exotic Species. This scene was strikingly similar to the siege of the Eldest Prince in "Louyue Nation."

The fifth occasion was when Su Ming'an, acting as clergy, distributed relief supplies to city residents. At that time, he accidentally discovered a slip of paper inscribed with the "Blessings of the White Morning Glory Flower." Later, Alice recited nearly identical blessing words in "Girl's Dream Project," gifting Su Ming'an a white morning glory flower.
