Chapter 1425 Whose Figure Travels Through Reincarnation?
Anno could only close his eyes as the bright light flashed.
When he was able to gradually open his eyes, he saw the sage floating in front of him, emitting a faint purple glow.
There is no supreme god of time and space here, nor is there anyone else.
The battlefield has vanished, leaving behind a quiet, isolated space.
"Did I succeed?"
Anno gazed at the Philosopher's Stone emitting a glow in front of him, momentarily captivated by its strange beauty.
Those glowing lights are actually formed by the power of various laws. The Philosopher's Stone, which has been mostly repaired, has become activated. As long as you hold the Philosopher's Stone, you can change the laws of the world!
"How many people sacrificed their lives for this moment!"
A bright smile spread across Anno's face as he strode toward the Philosopher's Stone, reaching out to grab it.
"Liz, Sassi, Adelaide, Lü Yan, Xue Feibai, Rongrong, everyone, and all the Dream Thieves and civilians who died in the war, the more than 20,000 planes destroyed because of me, everyone..."
Anno looked at the Philosopher's Stone, which was so close to him, with his palm less than 20 centimeters away.
"Everyone, you can all be resurrected!"
Having said that, Anno grasped the Philosopher's Stone with his right hand.
"Uh~!"
In an instant, Anno felt a powerful force drill into his body from the Philosopher's Stone, causing him extreme pain, and his expression instantly became distorted.
With just a tiny bit of power, the right hand that touched the Philosopher's Stone instantly crumbled!
"Um?"
Anno stared in bewilderment at his right hand, which had vanished in an instant. He felt the power that had entered his body spreading along his arm and throughout his body, causing his entire right arm to disintegrate from the wrist down.
"No~~~!"
Anno's eyes instantly shifted from surprise to despair!
He stubbornly reached out his left hand again, but the moment he touched the activated Philosopher's Stone, the feeling of rejection was transmitted to Anno once more, and then his left hand began to disintegrate.
"No, no, no..."
Anno, with her full head of white hair, suddenly cried helplessly, like an abandoned baby.
The Philosopher's Stone rejected him.
In other words, he is not the chosen one of the world!
Anno, who deceived the world for over a thousand years, was also deceived by fate for over a thousand years.
Or perhaps, his status as the chosen one of the world was erased for some unknown reason.
Unable to accept all of this, Anno kicked the Philosopher's Stone, but as before, the part that touched the Philosopher's Stone instantly crumbled and was invaded by a trace of power.
Currently, three forces are simultaneously damaging Anno's body, and these forces are extremely strange. No matter how Anno resists, he cannot expel them.
The constantly disintegrating body seemed to be telling Anno something.
Those who attempt to change the rules of the world must be punished!
Bang~!
Anno collapsed to his knees as one of his legs dislocated.
Turbid tears streamed down Anno's face as he recalled how he had just ordered the Summoning Legion to capture all the Protectors, including those who had once fought for him and belonged to the Dream Thieves.
He recalled the final moments when, in order to buy himself time to absorb the Soul of Protection, he sent Liz, Adelaide, Sassiel, Lü Yan, Lu Zhishang, and others to their deaths.
He recalled the trust in everyone's eyes when he said he wanted to create a world where everyone could exist.
[Liz.]
Master, I'm here!
It's up to you now.
【Yes! 】
------
Go, Anno.
We believe in you!
[Lord Anno, please hurry! I'd like to hear you recount your time-travel journey in detail in the New World.]
【Master, go! Sasser and I will hold off the enemy!】
【Master, although we just met, goodbye!】
------
"Liz, I'm sorry!"
"Sasil, Adelaide, I'm sorry!"
"Lü Yan, Brother Lu, Brother Xue, Rongrong... I'm so sorry everyone!"
Anno knelt on the ground, her head touching the ground, tears falling like broken beads, apologizing to one dead person after another in a trembling, sobbing voice.
In order to resurrect Liz, he became a so-called god in this magical world. However, the god worshipped by billions of mortals is nothing more than a more powerful mortal and has no power to resurrect.
Countless lives have been destroyed because of his plan, and every step he took to obtain the Philosopher's Stone has buried countless corpses!
But in the end, all of this became nothing but a pipe dream.
The three strange forces within Anno's body were almost completely disintegrating it, leaving less than half of his body.
Suddenly, Anno looked up at the Philosopher's Stone above, and cried out in despair and helplessness, "If there is a true god in this world, if the true god is born from faith... Creator God, although my life is like dust, I am willing to offer everything I have. This is my only request, please!"
If it's considered too sordid for mere mortals to attempt to use the Philosopher's Stone to change the rules of the world...
If those hands were too bloody for the Philosopher's Stone...
Anyone will do, as long as he can use the Philosopher's Stone, as long as he can undo the mistakes I made...
Then I am willing to bear all the sins alone and endure the world's harshest punishment...
In the end, only Anno's head remained of his body, but he still opened his mouth and silently pleaded, "Anyone is fine!"
poof...
When only one eye remained of Anno's soul, he saw a familiar figure burst in.
Unaware that Anno was now reduced to only one eyeball, the figure hesitated for a moment before reaching the radiant Philosopher's Stone and placing its hand upon it.
Disintegration... did not occur.
"What? So you're the chosen one of the world."
As Anno's soul dissipated in its final moments, it quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as if it had been liberated.
"If it were you, you should be able to undo the mistakes I made."
Liz, and everyone else, wait for me, I'm coming to join you.
......
A few minutes ago, outside!
"Second generation!!!"
The Supreme God of Time and Space watched helplessly as the second generation disappeared before his eyes, dodging the [Time and Space Judgment], his furious eyes almost spitting fire.
The demonic shadow that he had been holding seized the opportunity to break free and escape the control of the supreme god of time and space.
"Hehehe... 'I' succeeded! Time and space, do you believe it? In the new world, you definitely won't exist."
The Supreme God of Time and Space turned to look at the laughing demonic figure, his eyes filled with malice, and said, "You don't understand, you understand nothing!"
Nothing will change except that he, the supreme god of time and space, will continue to weaken as he tries to protect the world.
He will only keep getting weaker!
It all seems like destiny!
"Fuck your fate!"
Rudolf's body radiated a dazzling holy light before collapsing due to the immense power it could not withstand.
The surrounding space trembled, shattering like glass struck by a stone.
"This time, I'm determined to change my destiny!"
The supreme god of spacetime, who descended from a higher dimension, knew he didn't have much time left, otherwise Un'Golmud, the birthplace of the Philosopher's Stone and the origin of everything, would collapse due to the inability to withstand the supreme god's power.
Then the world will truly be doomed.
"not good!"
Upon seeing the appearance of the Supreme God of Time and Space, the Shadow Demon guessed that the other party had descended in his true form.
The mere aura of rules emanating from his body caused the plane to tremble, his strength far exceeding the imagination of the Demon Shadow.
However, the main body had just been teleported away with the Philosopher's Stone, and the passage it left behind had not yet dissipated.
If the supreme god of time and space is not stopped, all efforts will be in vain, and all sacrifices will be useless.
"This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen!"
The instant the Shadow Demon had this thought, all the summoned creatures, elemental spirits, World City, Twin Moons, and other things summoned by Anno on the entire battlefield instantly turned into white light and converged on the Shadow Demon's body.
At this moment, the supreme god of time and space had also fully descended.
"Summoner Spell: Last Stand!"
【Desperate Strike】—Consume all summoned creatures to deliver a fatal blow.
Even the demonic shadow merged into this attack, the powerful energy shattering space and rushing towards the supreme god of time and space!
The power of the [Desperate Strike] clearly exceeded the expectations of the Supreme God of Time and Space.
He was forced into a corner by a single move and could only grit his teeth and fight back.
When the two suns collided, the earth crumbled, spacetime collapsed, and all living beings were instantly annihilated by the spreading energy, without a trace of pain!
Only one figure managed to slip into the vortex left by the Philosopher's Stone, which was not far away, before the demonic shadow and the supreme god of time and space collided.
Just after this figure entered, the vortex seemed to reach its final pause, disappearing into space before being affected by the two 'suns'.
"Cough cough..."
The "Hero" Ragil, who had fallen into an unknown space, was breathing heavily.
He was seriously injured and fell while fighting Rudolf with Lü Yan and others.
When I was conscious, I felt that the air around me seemed to be filled with the aura of death, and I fled into this spatial tunnel in a panic.
"Where is this place?"
As the entrance to the past disappeared, Rajil got up and observed the void around him.
His gaze was then drawn to the Philosopher's Stone, which was floating in mid-air a few meters away.
"Isn't this the Philosopher's Stone? Where is Lord Anno?"
Ragil walked up to the Philosopher's Stone, his Adam's apple bobbed, and then he reached out and grasped the Philosopher's Stone.
The moment he grasped the Philosopher's Stone, Ragnar felt as if he could control the rules and rewrite them.
He also used the Philosopher's Stone to instantly understand that just now, the Second Hokage had been punished for touching the Philosopher's Stone as a mortal.
They also learned that the outside world of Angomulos is constantly collapsing due to the battle between the Shadow Demon and the Supreme God of Time and Space, and is not far from destruction.
"Lord Anno!"
When Ragnar learned of Anno's death, he was momentarily stunned.
Then the news that Angomulos was being destroyed brought Ragil back to his senses.
He felt that only Lord Anno could save the world at this time, so he wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to revive Anno.
but......
Birth is the beginning, death is the end.
Life and death are irreversible!
"Cannot be revived!!!"
Ragnar's eyes widened instantly, and his emotions collapsed in an instant.
So many people who sacrificed themselves were preparing to meet in the new world, but the Philosopher's Stone, which could change the rules, was unable to revive the dead.
"If that's the case..." Rajil's face turned deathly pale, tears silently streaming down his face, and he said lifelessly, "Then all our efforts... from the very beginning... weren't they meaningless?"
But at that moment, Ragnar sensed another message from the Philosopher's Stone.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter; winter, autumn, summer, spring; throughout history, time and space are reversible!
It is impossible to resurrect someone in the present timeline, but it is possible to go back in time to achieve the purpose of resurrection!
Once Rajir understood the meaning of those words, his eyes instantly hardened.
Although rewinding means starting all over again and many things may repeat themselves, Ragill hopes that Lord Anno can change everything in the restarted world!
In this void, Ragnar opened his mouth and began to speak of the rules of change.
As the last character of Ragil fell, the Philosopher's Stone suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
......
La la la la la li la la li la li la...
A heart-stopping ringtone sounded in Anno's ear, jolting him awake.
"What am I doing...?"
After getting up, Anuo reflexively turned off her phone alarm and looked around at her surroundings in a daze.
In the small bedroom, there is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk with a computer on it, and a fan hanging on the wall blowing cool air into the room.
There were also a few simple fitness equipment such as dumbbells and hand grips piled up in the corner.
Above the bed was a poster showing the back of a person in a police uniform.
As if she had just woken from a dream, Anuo rubbed her throbbing head, got up, went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and washed her face.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror—a young but somewhat weary face in short sleeves and shorts—Annuo felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
"Oh no, I'm totally out of it!"
Anno patted his face, then went out to check the time.
It's Saturday today, so it's fine to sleep until 10 a.m.
There is no one else in the family besides me. My father sacrificed his life early, and my mother raised me alone, which was really not easy. Working overtime on Saturdays is the norm for her, and she has already left home early.
"The fridge is empty, I need to go out and get some more. I'll cook a couple of dishes tonight and show off my cooking skills to my mom."
Around noon, Anuo ate a quick bowl of instant noodles, then left her room and headed towards the apartment building's elevator.
While Anno was waiting for the elevator, the door to another resident's apartment on the same floor opened.
Liu Rongrong, wearing a dress, also came out and stood on the other side of the elevator door waiting.
Anno, who was looking down at her phone while waiting for the elevator, only caught a glimpse of the skirt out of the corner of her eye and did not look up to greet the person.
Although they are all residents on the same floor, in the city, it is common to have unfamiliar neighbors.
From the moment the elevator doors opened until the elevator reached the first floor, Anuo did not speak to Liu Rongrong.
Standing outside the mall, Anuo, covered in sweat, complained about the scorching weather as she eagerly went inside.
Bang~!
A burly man walked out from around the corner and bumped into Anno, who was almost knocked over by the man.
"Excuse me, young man!"
Xue Feibai pulled his arm out of Geng Qingxue's embrace, grabbed An Nuo with his large hand, and looked apologetic.
"fine!"
It wasn't a big deal. After regaining her balance, Anuo brushed past the other person.
But a strange feeling suddenly arose in Anno's heart.
Stepping onto the mall's escalator, on the descending escalator next to the one Anuo was riding, two stylish young women were holding hands, their conversation fading into the distance from Anuo's ears.
"The holiday was approved, and I bought the bikini. We can go to the beach tomorrow!"
"Ah, Lü Yan, we must find love tomorrow! Just constant missions, missions, and before I knew it, I'd become a spinster. I don't want to become a female archmage!"
Don't worry!
Lü Yan glanced at the handsome young man who had gone up next to her, then clenched her fist and declared resolutely, "I refuse to believe that with a figure like mine, I can't find a boyfriend. I finally got my vacation approved, I'm going to tie one up and take him back with me!"
"Sister Yan is awesome!"
......
Anno was so engrossed in looking at the merchandise while pushing her cart that she accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.
"I'm sorry!" Meng Xin was so focused on looking at the merchandise that she didn't realize she had bumped into someone, and she quickly apologized.
"Excuse me!"
The two apologized at the same time, exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, and then walked away from each other.
......
Annoti was carrying two large bags of groceries home when she suddenly noticed a bald man carrying a large object into the elevator, with two young women supporting him from behind.
The images and text on the outside of the object indicate that it is a refrigerator.
Although Ning Wen wasn't carrying a refrigerator, a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
Wang Zixuan, the girl next to him, kept reminding him, "Master, thank you so much. Please be careful and don't rush."
"No problem, I live in this building too, it's just a matter of convenience!" Lu Zhishang easily carried the refrigerator into the elevator. After Ning Wen and Wang Zixuan came in, they saw that there was another young man behind them, so they quickly shrank back to make room.
Squeak!
Once back in her room, Anuo quickly turned on the air conditioner and took a shower.
When I opened the closet to look for clothes, I suddenly saw a trench coat hanging inside.
"The last gift Dad gave me..."
After silently getting dressed, Anno put on her trench coat as well.
He even wore a pair of trousers with it.
In other words, if you go outside into an air-conditioned room and are exposed to the scorching sun, you'll likely suffer heatstroke and faint very quickly.
Looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a trench coat, Anno smiled and murmured, "She has great taste... I'll cherish it!"
Bang~!
After throwing herself onto the bed, Anno suddenly felt a little thirsty.
"Two glasses of Snow King lemonade, please!"
After ordering takeout, Anuo felt sleepy.
Ring ring!
The phone rang again, waking Anno up.
After answering the phone, Anuo heard the deliveryman say that the food had been delivered to her door.
Rubbing her eyes, Anuo suddenly felt a little dizzy, and it seemed like she could hear muttering in her ears.
"I didn't stay up late yesterday either!"
Anuo shook her head and went outside to bring the takeout back.
Put one cup in the refrigerator, and drink the other one now.
Pa~!
As the straw was inserted into the lemonade, Anno suddenly realized that she was still wearing her trench coat.
After chuckling softly, Anno planned to take a sip of lemonade before taking off her clothes.
However, just as he took a sip of lemonade, before he could even swallow it, his eyes suddenly widened.
The girl in the dress at the elevator entrance, the man and woman who bumped into each other at the corner of the mall, the woman on the descending escalator, the woman apologizing to him, the bald man and two women he encountered on his way back...
"I think I... know them, but aren't they dead? No, no, I'm dead too, aren't I?"
When this thought arose, the babbling in his mind suddenly became clear and loud.
【Ancient spirits wandering in oblivion, answer the call of Amidorn, descend upon Un'Golmud, and save the world!】
------
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Where am I? I don't remember anything."
"Me too, does anyone know what's going on?"
Anno, who was in complete darkness, heard the noise around him and struggled to open his eyes.
The evening glow painted the sky red, and pink clouds drifted slowly by.
This was the first scene Anno saw after opening his eyes.
Looking around, Anno found himself inside a dilapidated building.
Cracked walls covered in grass, massive stone pillars broken into pieces, and an open roof.
There is even a female statue that is over five meters tall.
The statue's head was missing, and its moss-covered hands were clasped to its chest.
"It looks like a medieval church!"
Anno froze after saying that.
How familiar this scene is.
How familiar this scene is!
Looking around, there were Liu Rongrong, Lu Zhishang, Xue Feibai, and Lü Yan in a bikini...
Familiar figures came into view once again.
Seeing everyone looking like they had lost their memories, Anno's eyes widened suddenly, and countless thoughts rushed through his mind.
"So, it turns out I did lose my memories last time! Perhaps I lost all memories related to other people and my memories of the continent of Un'Golmud. But this time, my memories are completely preserved!"
Anno's eyes lit up as he looked at the familiar faces around him and immediately called out the names of his former companions.
Seeing the questioning looks directed at her, Anno took a deep breath and made up her mind.
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound came from the air.
The lean man standing on the crooked pillar was about to tell everyone that he had seen a village, but Anno called out several names in succession, which attracted his attention. Then, he was so frightened by a stray arrow that he lost his balance, fell to the ground, and his brains splattered.
Anno knew that his first battle since arriving in Ungomulos was about to begin.
This time, he will use his experience to lead Xue Feibai and the other eight out of the Forbidden Forest safely.
Swish~!
Holding a sharp stone, Anno slid behind the broken wall, ambushed the first goblin to leap over it, and skillfully summoned it.
Then Anno stood behind the summoned goblins, facing the approaching goblins outside the wall, and said to the stunned crowd behind him, "Xue Feibai Lu Zhishang Lü Yan, those deadly goblin monsters are coming! If you don't want to die, follow my orders!"
The three people whose names were called frowned slightly, looking at the eerie and terrifying summoned goblin. After only a moment's hesitation, they chose to pick up the stone and stand behind Anno.
A gentle breeze ruffled the four people's hair; a bloody battle was about to unfold in the Forbidden Forest!
(The End!)
