Chapter 290: Derived World and Return

Options A, B, and C: A is Paradise Coins, B is a treasure chest, and C is a rare scroll.

Upon seeing option C, Su Xiao had already decided to give up the first two options. Sword technique was his core skill, and a scroll that could upgrade his sword technique tier was certainly not to be missed.

After choosing C, a golden, shining scroll appeared in Su Xiao's hand; this was the 【Golden Honor Scroll】.

The 【Golden Honor Scroll】 had no quality, but it was marked with labels like "Valuable Item" and "Golden."

Su Xiao put the 【Golden Honor Scroll】 into his storage space. His current state was truly terrible; in less than an hour, he would die from excessive blood loss.

After selecting the reward, notifications from the Reincarnation Paradise appeared one after another.

【The war is won. The Arbiter identity has been fully reclaimed.】

【Starting to reset the timeline. The time point is eight hours after the protagonist of "Parasyte" was parasitized.】

【Timeline resetting...】

【Detected that the Hunter's location is extremely dangerous after the timeline reset. Teleporting...】

Spatial power enveloped Su Xiao. At this moment, the Reincarnation Paradise had absolute control over the "Parasyte" world.

With a flash of light before his eyes, Su Xiao was already in the territory of the Human Alliance. This was a street, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and the street was full of pedestrians.

Everything around was in a static state; some pedestrians had their legs raised, maintaining a posture in mid-air.

Su Xiao cursed inwardly; what he needed now was treatment, not to be transported to a safe location.

The Reincarnation Paradise clearly didn't intend to teleport him back immediately. As both an Arbiter and a contractor, he had the right to enjoy the fruits of victory.

【The derived world is now fully owned by the Reincarnation Paradise. Starting timeline reset!】

【This is the first timeline reset for this derived world; a gentler reset method will be adopted.】

A light blue transparent curtain formed around him, spreading rapidly across the entire derived world.

All objects and buildings swept by the transparent curtain were changing rapidly; some old people became young, some buildings disappeared, and some buildings appeared out of thin air.

The time of the entire derived world began to rewind, instantly returning to the initial stage of Parasyte.

The difficulty of the derived world began to drop, from the original Lv. 10 down to Lv. 3, the same difficulty as Tokyo Ghoul, though the Parasyte world's martial power was slightly weaker than Tokyo Ghoul's.

The air became fresh, and the pungent smell mixed with formaldehyde disappeared.

【Derived world timeline reset complete. The time point is 18 hours after the Parasyte landed on Earth.】

【Because the Kara people have been defeated, according to Initial Regulation 13572, the Reincarnation Paradise can execute defeated Void races. Starting execution of enemy forces. The Kara people have been annihilated; the "Parasyte" world will no longer contain Kara people.】

【The Parasyte derived world will serve as a breeding ground for new contractors. Checking three world coordinate locations.】

【Beep... Discovered a world coordinate in a location where new contractors cannot survive (deep sea). Attempting to move the world coordinate. Since the world coordinate is in its initial formation, it can be moved.】

【Move successful. The coordinate has been moved to within ten kilometers of the plot protagonist, "Izumi Shinichi."】

【Parasyte derived world planning complete. Copying...】

【The following information is classified. The Hunter has reached the maximum limit of known information.】

【War Mission: World Coordinate (2/2), completed. Reward: 8 attribute points.】

【Hunter Mission (Special): Suppress the riot, completed. Reward: 30 World Source.】

【Starting return to Reincarnation Paradise.】

The feeling of being teleported appeared. Su Xiao suddenly took a heavy blow to the back of his head. With this familiar feeling, familiar angle, and familiar touch, Su Xiao spat out blood—truly, he spat out blood...

【Teleportation complete. The Hunter has returned to the exclusive room.】

【The Hunter has returned to the Reincarnation Paradise. Starting settlement of the war world.】

Su Xiao collapsed onto the floor of his exclusive room with a thud, with Xiang Bubu Wang lying beside him.

【Detected that the Hunter's vital signs are abnormal. Yes/No to restore? This function will consume Paradise Coins.】

Su Xiao chose to restore both himself and Xiang Bubu Wang. Two green lights appeared in the exclusive room, enveloping Su Xiao and Xiang Bubu Wang.

Su Xiao floated in mid-air, with emerald green light spots drifting around his body. These green light spots gradually merged into his body, and his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bloody holes in his chest and lower abdomen healed, and the blown-away shoulder grew back. Su Xiao let out a long sigh of relief; his body had finally returned to normal.

Five minutes later, the green light disappeared, and the injuries of Su Xiao and Xiang Bubu Wang were fully restored.

Su Xiao landed steadily, his mind feeling a bit dizzy. He hadn't rested for 36 hours, during which he had experienced three high-intensity battles. The enemies in all three battles were very strong and had the ability to kill him.

Thud.

A heavy object landed beside him. Su Xiao turned his head to look; it was Xiang Bubu Wang. This idiot had fallen asleep while in mid-air and hadn't even woken up after falling from half a meter high, with its tongue lolling out.

Even breathing sounds came from it; it seemed Xiang Bubu Wang wouldn't wake up for a short while.

Su Xiao was also feeling dizzy and lightheaded. He flopped onto the bed and fell asleep instantly.

The exclusive room was quiet; Su Xiao was truly too exhausted.

Not being able to participate directly in the war had kept his spirit highly tense. The strong enemies he encountered while setting up the coordinates were very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, all three world coordinates were successfully set up.

By the third world coordinate, Su Xiao was essentially dragging over a hundred contractors. Apart from hiding well, those contractors had made no contribution; the war rewards would likely be reduced by one-third.

Considering that the first two coordinates were guarded by contractors risking their lives, the rewards should also be quite generous.

The war was over. Su Xiao had gained a slight understanding of the Reincarnation Paradise, but this was only...

... a drop in the ocean. The Reincarnation Paradise still held too many unknown secrets.

The contractors all returned to the Reincarnation Paradise. The tense atmosphere within the Reincarnation Paradise dissipated, and the mandatory measures for employees were also lifted. Prices quickly returned to normal.

The war survivors became stronger. The number of people in the three adventure groups decreased sharply, but despite the reduction in numbers, their combat power showed a trend of increasing.

Although war is cruel, it is also the fastest way to become stronger.

Su Xiao slept for more than ten hours this time. He was woken up by Xiang Bubu Wang licking him; this idiot was hungry.

After washing up, the dried blood on his body was washed away. With his injuries restored and sleep sufficient, Su Xiao felt refreshed.
