Chapter 198 Reversing the River of Time
Ayun talked at length, and Li Can listened attentively.
"I understand now. So, I'm not the only human who has transmigrated..."
"Although I don't want to admit that I have too many failures, it's true."
Li Can nodded.
He had considered this outcome, but when the truth came from A-Yun's mouth and was confirmed, he was still a little surprised.
Based on the available information, the conclusion is already quite clear.
Whether it was the loss of his innate power and its subsequent return, or the explosion that led to his death, none of these were accidents; they were the result of someone's deliberate and secret actions.
The most crucial figure among them was the old Taoist priest who swindled his family out of 600,000 yuan...
As for whether anyone else was involved, I need to investigate that further when I have time; for now, I can only have a general idea.
Only his subsequent time travel could be considered an 'accident'.
He wasn't the only time traveler; he was just one among many destined individuals.
Of course, all these analyses are based on the premise that A-Yun speaks the truth without any concealment or deception.
"What do you mean by the successor of the Blue Star Guardian Spirit?" Li Can asked A Yun with some confusion.
If A-Yun is originally from Earth, what's the point of this thing taking over? Is it going to possess his body? To take over his body?
Li Can had some expectations when he said he would pass on all his knowledge to him.
Ah Yun used this as a way to repay him for being inexplicably pulled into the future ten years later, then forced to do things and risk her life in dungeons during the countdown to destruction, but the rewards were quite generous.
However, if the prerequisite for receiving the teaching is that he must accept the title of "Successor of Blue Star," he still needs to understand it clearly before making a decision.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
I don't trust anyone anymore.
Even though he and Ayun seemed to be in the same boat, he still couldn't completely let his guard down.
I still know very little about him.
"When you say he is the successor, you can think of it as the way emperors in ancient China passed the throne to their sons and grandsons after their death."
"You are the one I've chosen."
"Li Can, although my poisoning symptoms have subsided and I can still talk to you here, once I've fully recovered, I'll be going to find the mastermind behind this and take my revenge."
"This trip may very well be my last, so before I die, I will officially leave Earth and become a completely independent human form."
"I'm entrusting the blue planet to you."
"Of course, you won't be as passive as I am. After all, you are not the original Earth. Even if Earth is attacked by another planet again, you won't suffer any damage."
"You and the Blue Star body I left behind are simply bound together by a deep bond."
"In fact, if one day disaster strikes and you are unable to protect Earth and everyone on it, you can disconnect and escape on your own."
After A-Yun said that, Li Can finally understood.
He is a spirit that was automatically generated after he cultivated himself on Earth.
By severing the connection between the two and entrusting the Blue Star to himself, he became the true guardian.
There is a risk, but not a significant one.
On the contrary, for me, the huge benefits I gained were primarily from the Blue Star.
But... there is another possibility.
"You're not planning to find a scapegoat after you recover from your injuries, are you?" Li Can's opening line was a bombshell.
Even though he got two measuring balls for A-Yun,
To help him prolong his life.
Ultimately, they were all being taken advantage of.
I have never had the initiative.
No matter what happens in the future, it all depends on A-Yun's word. Can I really trust him completely?
"Cough, cough cough... You little brat are really something, cough cough cough." Ayun was amused by Li Can's question and couldn't stop coughing.
It seems his recovery isn't going well.
He looked so frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
But the next second he moved, like a ghost, and crouched behind Li Can, speaking close to his ear:
"Do you think I need to waste so much time talking to you if I wanted to find a scapegoat?"
"Little friend, I saved your life when you were a child, and you save my life now. I thought there wouldn't be any estrangement between us..."
Ah Yun seemed to be getting angry, and the harshness in her words was impossible to hide.
Li Can carefully observed his reaction, trying to find something in A Yun's dark, bright eyes.
But they couldn't see through him at all.
This person has lived for so long that, as he said, I am just a child in his eyes... But so what?
How long someone lives is determined by their birth conditions; why compare yourself to them?
"Sigh... Fine, I know you harbor resentment towards me. I brought you here ten years later to risk your life for the sphere, keeping you in the dark the whole time... If you don't want to be the successor of the Blue Star Guardian Spirit, then forget it."
I won't force you.
"I will still pass on all my knowledge to you, so that you can protect yourself and be independent in the days to come when I am no longer here."
"As for the guardian spirit, if all else fails, I'll investigate other humans later..."
Li Can took a big step forward, widening the distance between herself and A Yun.
This cloud is truly capricious.
"Other humans? Weren't they all extinct?"
Li Can was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
He vividly remembered that when he first transmigrated, A-Yun had said, amidst the garbled text, that if everything went smoothly, he could be sent back to his previous timeline.
In other words, before he was poisoned, he had the ability to travel through time.
This must be the method he used to find the alien imposters and take revenge.
Since transmigrating here, Li Can has traveled to many places in this wasteland.
Adding the time he spent in the dungeon game, a full five or six days passed.
If those alien imposters had truly achieved this level of success, they would have already come to Earth and ended A-Yun's existence long ago.
But after all this time, on the desolate wasteland of Blue Star, there are still only traces of his and A-Yun's activities.
That speaks volumes...
A thousand thoughts raced through Li Can's mind, but he still decided to hear A-Yun say it herself to get confirmation.
"I was able to take you ten years into the future when I was on my deathbed. Once I've fully recovered, can't I take both of us back to ten years ago?"
"I won't say ten, twenty, or thirty years... anything earlier would be bragging. Forcibly reversing the river of time is too much, and I would suffer a fatal backlash."
"A change of ten or twenty years won't pose any threat to me, but if it's something like hundreds or thousands of years, I'll die on the spot. You can collect my body as soon as possible."
"No... Earth will explode too, and we'll all die together for love, just like the rest of humanity."
"Just thinking about it is so romantic..."
