Welcome to Rewind World Game

Su Ming'an uttered fierce words and turned to leave.

By his side were Chao Yan and Xiao Jingsan, the formidable duo, and the deity did not follow.

In the desolate Ubang Nation, Su Ming'an sat in a wheelchair, gazing at the deserted city:

"There are four current dilemmas."

"First, at 8:40, the Exotic Species Royals will appear near The First Tower. Second, the Ubang Nation is at risk of being erased by a disciple; we need to identify who that disciple is. Third, the control mark on me is still not removed, and Chao Yan needs to slay the tentacle creature by the sea. Fourth, after the Oracle was issued, the Holy Alliance Army is erasing history, but I do not know where Li Mingyue placed the special medicine."

"At the Central Research Institute," Xiao Jingsan said.

"Hmm?" Su Ming'an looked up.

"There's now a substantial stock of the special medicine, so safety isn't a concern. However, we can't distribute it to everyone," Xiao Jingsan said.

"So...?"

"Dear Angel," Xiao Jingsan leaned in, resting his chin on the back of the chair, "Should we try to summon a heavy rain?"

...

At 9:30 AM, Su Ming'an arrived at The First Tower.

The First Tower was positioned at the frontline, close to the Black Mist.

Thousands of bodies lay scattered like shattered tofu blocks, a grim testimony to the massacre an hour ago. Su Ming'an gazed at the blood-stained land; the Exotic Species Royals were nowhere to be seen.

Since the Exotic Species Royals might return at any moment, no one dared to collect the corpses, leaving the square empty except for the sound of Su Ming'an's wheelchair wheels. As his sight swept to the tower's edge, he involuntarily shuddered.

Today, Yamada Machiichi wasn't wearing a dress; he wore fight-ready shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, his emaciated arms exposed, looking like muscle atrophy. Deep and shallow wounds crisscrossed his neck and shoulders, the blood having dried.

Lu lay beside him, appearing as if he had fallen asleep. There were no visible wounds on him, but his eyes were closed, with no signs of breathing.

Amidst the many corpses, they didn't stand out, yet a golden long-handled scythe was still in Lu's hand, indicating he had fought till the last moment.

Su Ming'an moved forward, extending his right hand with effort to feel their pulse.

"No need to check," Chao Yan said, "One died from a fatal wound, the other from spiritual pollution."

Su Ming'an withdrew his hand, his palm icy cold.

High-ranking players are so esteemed, powerful, with sharp minds. In the eyes of ordinary players, they seem like insurmountable mountains.

But in front of Su Ming'an, they were evidently fragile; a single misstep, a single oversight, could result in their shattering without anyone noticing.

"Reset the timeline, dear Angel, if you wish to save them. Take them away before 8:40," Xiao Jingsan said.

Su Ming'an shook his head.

He needed more information; otherwise, he would remain helpless in the face of the other three dilemmas. The situation in the Tenth World was different; he couldn't replicate the miracle of the thirty-third loop. As his mental state deteriorated, he'd easily get twisted perceptions, unable even to distinguish whose timeline he was resetting.

Stay clear-headed, stay clear-headed, stay clear-headed.

...

At 10 AM, Su Ming'an entered the Black Mist.

Reaching the Old Day Church headquarters, Su Ming'an reached out to touch.

...

"Ding-dong!"

[You have touched the Prophecy Stone Wall.]

[Perfect Pass Task·Fifth Link: "Join the Old Day Church" completed.]

[TE3·"The Utopia with You and Him" Perfect Completion Progress: 65%]

...

"Ding-dong!"

[Acquired Perfect Pass Task·Sixth Link.]

[Perfect Pass Task·Sixth Link: "Summon the Next Heavy Rain"

Task Requirement: The Immortal's Talisman "Expand," possessing the power to amplify matter. You need to find the owner of this Immortal's Talisman, letting the special medicine descend as heavy rain upon the world.

Task Reward: Perfect Completion 5% Progress

Task Hint: The owner of the Immortal's Talisman is one of the nine disciples.

Task Note: "...Sigh."]

...

[Perfect Pass Task·Seventh Link: "Dance Like a Fierce Flame"

Task Requirement: After releasing the second seal on yourself, use the white tentacles to shatter the Prophecy Stone Wall. The Prophecy Stone Wall represents "the solidification of destiny." Only by breaking it can new destinies be born.

Task Reward: Perfect Completion 5% Progress

Task Note: "..."]

...

[Note: There are ten links in the Perfect Pass Task.]

...

"The next special medicine rain?" Su Ming'an marveled at the system's idea to break the stalemate.

The special medicine couldn't be distributed to everyone because the Holy Alliance Army would intercept it during distribution, whether by train, plane, or manually, making it difficult to ensure everyone has a bottle.

But what if—transforming the special medicine into a heavy rain?

What if—shattering that blue Morning Star-like glass bottle, letting starlight spill out, and turning Morning Star into a torrential downpour descending from the sky?

Starlight descending from the horizon, history returning with the raindrops.

No matter how powerful the strength or how great the Holy Alliance Army, they cannot stop a rain covering the world.

Sixth link task: Awaken history. Seventh link task: Break the solidified destiny.

Compared to the first five tasks of "Learning the Talisman," "Helping Su Luoluo," "Participating in the College Entrance Exam," "Joining the City Guardian Department," "Touching the Prophecy Stone Wall of the Old Day Church," the hints for the Perfect Pass tasks are progressively deeper, inching closer to the end game. Will the tenth link be slaying God?

Su Ming'an reached out again, closing Yamada Machiichi's eyes.

...You've worked hard this time; next time, I'll save you.

The gap between two save points has never been less than ten hours, although this conclusion is not 100% accurate, it can serve as a reference. Due to the peculiarities of the Tenth World, Su Ming'an needs to limit his timeline resets as much as possible. Otherwise, with each reset, his mental state declines, spiraling into a vicious cycle, making it difficult to ensure he sees reality regardless of the number of resets.

Gazing at the clock approaching ten, Su Ming'an closed his eyes.

In the Tenth World, he set a limit for himself not to restart more than five times.

This is the third time.

"Cluster."

...

Midnight.

Su Ming'an once again saved Chao Yan. He immediately delivered a speech as the Old God, right before the Deity could issue the Oracle.

At two in the morning, Mizushima Kawa Sora, dressed in elaborate attire and holding the Goddess Staff, sat in front of the camera, ready to publicly reveal her identity as a disciple via livestream.

"The camera is ready, Your Excellency, you can start the livestream," said a handsome young man in a white robe.

"Qingniao, you don't need to use honorifics with me. You are the Divine Son of this generation, on equal standing with me," Mizushima Kawa Sora said.

Qingniao fiddled with a glass pendant by his ear and gently chuckled, "Your Excellency's strength is above mine, so it's only right I show respect. Besides, as the chosen disciple, you're bound to be the final victor."

Cardinal Nalfas beside them scoffed, his beard twitching, "That First Dream Patrol Family claims to be the Old God, what a joke. Since he is also a disciple, the Goddess will surely defeat him."

Chang Qingluo, a player from Mizushima Kawa Sora's faction, mocked, "Nalfas, last night you were so upset by the First Dream Patrol Family that you couldn't even respond, and now you're spouting threats—two-faced much, aren't you?"

Nalfas blew his beard and glared, "I was considering the greater good! Who knew that First Dream Patrol Family would be so brash, even daring to defy the Deity! Now the Deity must already be fed up with him, and if he dares show up here again, he won't have a place to die..."

"Tap."

A soft sound came from the entrance of the church.

Everyone looked up—only to see the wide-open doors of the church, empty.

Mizushima Kawa Sora said, "Close the door, Chang Qingluo."

Just as she finished speaking, a figure appeared at the church entrance.

"No need to close it, I'm here," Su Ming'an said.

He sat in a wheelchair, clad in luxurious attire similar in style to Mizushima Kawa Sora's, with gold threads and diamonds outlining a cross, and a white silk robe falling to his knees shining with a silvery glow.

"—How did you get in! Where are the guards!" the priests shouted. This is the world's most solemn Gods' Chronicles Church. How did Su Ming'an get in?

"Spatial Concealment Barrier?" Mizushima Kawa Sora realized, "You're bold to intrude on enemy headquarters like this, aren't you afraid of being trapped? I know you have a Spatial Concealment Skill, but I also know how to break it. If I have the Holy Alliance Army surround this place right now, even if you exhaust your strength, you won't get out."

"First, from your attitude, I vaguely feel there's no significant conflict of interest between us," Su Ming'an raised a finger, "Second, even with the Holy Alliance Army added, killing you is not an issue."

"Bold!" Nalfas fumed, jumping up, "The Goddess is omnipotent; a heretic like you should be captured immediately..."

Su Ming'an looked up.

"Shut up," he said calmly.

In the next instant, Nalfas exploded out of nowhere, his flesh scattering like fireworks, his blood filling the air with the screams of the nuns. With a wave of his right hand, Qingniao conjured a soft wind barrier to shield Mizushima Kawa Sora from the flying flesh.

Blood flowed on the smooth floor, like a trickling creek, and the nuns were pale with fear. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on Su Ming'an in the wheelchair, but no one dared to approach.

Qingniao examined Nalfas's cause of death and quickly concluded, "There's no remaining energy fluctuation or talisman aura, he died from the Instant Death Rule."

Mizushima Kawa Sora's expression turned cold.

What did Nalfas do just now to trigger Su Ming'an's Instant Death Rule?

Was it insulting Su Ming'an? Or maybe anger was forbidden? Or shouting?

People assumed various expressions, each guessing Su Ming'an's Instant Death Rule. Nalfas's swift death unsettled them—his rule must have wide applicability, easily taking a life.

Mizushima Kawa Sora pondered a moment before speaking, aiming for calm and harmony in her tone, "Did you come to my church at midnight just to kill as a demonstration for me?"

Su Ming'an enclosed his hands; earlier, Nalfas's shout of "The Goddess is omnipotent" triggered the "no lying" Instant Death Rule, granting him the opportunity to eliminate Nalfas.

But evidently, everyone assumed it was something like the "no yelling" or "no anger" Instant Death Rule, speaking to him with utmost caution as if talking to a lover.

"First Dream Patrol Family... let's talk it out, no need for anger."

"You've traveled far to Gods' Chronicles Church, why not keep the peace?"

"Mizushima Kawa Sora, I presume you're also a disciple." Su Ming'an ignored the others, "Can you show me your Instant Death Rule?"

"No comment," Mizushima Kawa Sora replied.

"I see, then I'll find someone else to ally with," Su Ming'an squinted, turning his wheelchair to leave.

"—Stop," came a clear, gentle voice from behind.

The Divine Son Qingniao approached with a tender demeanor and swaying glass pendants.

Su Ming'an had heard of Qingniao; before Mizushima Kawa Sora arrived, he was the Holy Alliance's leader, now second in command. Qingniao was reputedly kind-hearted, unwilling even to harm small animals.

"Please, both of you, let's not quarrel," Qingniao touched his ear, revealing a crimson tattoo behind it, "Actually, both of you have already satisfied my Instant Death Rule, but I have not yet activated it."

Qingniao's gentle words sent waves through the crowd; the two leaders of humanity's points could vanish at any moment—an impending catastrophe for mankind.

—Qingniao's Instant Death Rule must not be triggered!

Mizushima Kawa Sora paused momentarily, raising her voice, "Qingniao! Are you threatening me?"

Su Ming'an contemplated what similar action he and Mizushima Kawa Sora might have done to allow Qingniao the power to eliminate them both.

"Your words are too harsh, Your Excellency," Qingniao remained respectful, as if not holding the power of two lives, "The fact that I didn't immediately activate the Instant Death Rule demonstrates my intention; I just want both of you to calm down and have a proper discussion."

"Even though we've possibly violated your Instant Death Rule, several seconds have passed, meaning you should have lost the chance to activate it," Su Ming'an said.

The Instant Death Rule activation is time-bound; if Mizushima Kawa Sora lied before him and he didn't immediately use the rule, after a few seconds, he couldn't use it until another lie was spoken.

"No," Qingniao shook his head with a smile, "Even in this very second, you both still fulfill my Instant Death Rule."

Su Ming'an's palms were cold as ice, yet he showed no panic.

"—Then, Zou Yuqing, come in," Su Ming'an called.

At that moment, Zou Yuqing quietly walked in from the church entrance.

Four disciples gathered within the church, staring at one another.

Su Ming'an clasped his hands together and lifted his head.

"I'm sorry to inform everyone, but Zou Yuqing is my ally," Su Ming'an announced, "Everyone, including me, now satisfy Zou Yuqing's Instant Death Rule—thus, based on the precariousness of our lives, accept my terms—"

"Mizushima Kawa Sora, I want you to lead your troops to the First Tower and remain there until tomorrow. Qingniao, I want you to withhold the Oracle, at least delaying its release by half a day."

Breaking through the fourfold dilemma is challenging, but if two of these dilemmas are postponed first, it offers a breathing space.

Using everyone's lives as leverage, though he looked up at them, it seemed as though he was looking down upon them.
