Chapter 681: This is unfair to Lei Na

Everything observed and touched by the abnormal god will undergo irreversible mutation; even Zhang Jie's Hundred No Taboo cannot erase this influence.

The remaining seven Forbidden Permit holders gathered, without extra words, and under Zhang Jie's somewhat surprised gaze, they all moved to act.

Why? Zhang Jie didn't know; perhaps because they lacked themselves, lacked confidence in solving the Galactic Sclera.

But actually, the ship was smashed clean by a watermelon rind; if we don't act now, there really won't be any chance left.

"Don't just stand there! Come on together!"

An unprecedented battle scene erupted in the sky; the eight Forbidden Permit holders joined forces for the first time, opposing the abnormal deity.

In future histories, this day will be called the Day of God's Fall.

"Phew, finally."

Zhang Jie rubbed his brow, finally reversing this ending.

The golden timeline before him remained thick, while the tip of a branch beside it was pitch black, devoid of light.

This ending, i. e., the so-called bad ending, was the first truly meaningful battle-death ending he encountered in the time rift.

The original ending naturally had Zhang Jie alone fighting the mutation over a thousand times, then he stubbornly relied on rewinding time to outlast the opposition.

Then, due to overexerting his body, he died in his sleep on a certain bright morning after the battle.

And the one who finally stayed by Zhang Jie's side was Lei Na.

"Sleep, sleep, my boy."

She sang a lullaby; Zhang Jie knew it was one she heard by a window while wandering outside.

It was a lullaby sung by someone else's mother.

Having overdrawn his life, Zhang Jie was in such pain before death that he couldn't speak a clear sentence.

And Lei Na used that gentle song to soothe this battered obsession, granting him true rest.

"Lei Na..."

The girl who suddenly burst into his life, in her own way, gradually permeated all of Zhang Jie.

Perhaps his timeline-self hadn't noticed this girl's feelings, but the him outside saw it crystal clear.

"Lei Na..."

"It's me... I let her down."

As for that bunch of old-timers, they originally decided outright to flee by breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats; indeed, they fled that way.

Of course, they weren't successful; the seven of them not only failed to break open the Galactic Sclera, but were discovered by the Evil God, three of the seven were lost, leaving no hope of escape.

Well, the whole army was wiped out; in a sense, that could also be considered a good ending.

Zhang Jie was speechless; he could only guide the Mother Goddess's thoughts, letting Qi Yu destroy all the warships, which led to this scene.

Unfortunately, he couldn't guide Qi Yu to recognize himself; he could do very little.

This isn't because he can't do anything; it's that he cannot guide Qi Yu's actions through a very direct method.

"This is called Fate Weight."

Old Man Zhang Jie kept watching by his side, looking at the puzzled Zhang Jie, pointing and commenting nearby.

"The heavier the Fate Weight, the harder it is to influence that person's destiny; you are like that, and so is the Mother Goddess."

"His name is Qi Yu."

"Hmm, looking at your timeline, that little thing is indeed cute."

"But here, every Zhang Jie has a Lei Na sharing his hardships."

Zhang Jie remained silent; Old Man Zhang Jie's words were fine. He knew Lei Na's identity; normally, she would be the 'official partner' of all Zhang Jies.

"You in this timeline are too dazzling."

"Lei Na, you're basically an insecure little thing; perhaps in this line, a personality like Qi Yu's suits you better."

Zhang Jie didn't speak; indeed, that's how it is— in all previous timelines, they struggled out of the mud together as unfortunate souls.

They are well matched, no one more so; but this timeline's Zhang Jie grew up with perfect family, both parents present, an extraordinarily brilliant genius.

So Lei Na is like a poor soul not yet fully turned vampire; she sees any bloody, grotesque thing without flinching, but the moment she touches warmth and sunlight, she lets out a piercing scream, as if about to die.

"So, do you think letting Qi Yu go to the end with you is fair to those Lei Na who have always shared hardships with other Zhang Jies?"

"I understand what you mean."

"Qi Yu is good, but Lei Na is also good."

"All those Lei Na's efforts won't go to waste."

Zhang Jie clenched his fists; his pressure is no less than that guy inside, this situation is called the train dilemma.

He doesn't like the game of choosing whom to abandon; since it's a perfect ending, he definitely wants everything!

"Mutations aren't easy to kill; at least a couple of those old-timers should die."

Zhang Jie has completely regarded those old-timers as consumables; on the road to the final ending, not only must we kill the mutations, decay and rot, but those old-timers must also be eliminated in the end.

So, as early as possible, kill one if you can now, and also gauge the degree of death.

After all, there are still two things to fight; if too many die, the inner self will be hard to handle.

"Continue."

Zhang Jie took a deep breath and continued entering the timeline.

At this moment, within the timeline, Zhang Jie and several Forbidden Permit holders cooperated for the first time, suppressing and striking the mutation; the endless attacks left it no room to retaliate.

"Save me!!! Save me!!!"

One Forbidden Permit holder, unable to dodge, was entangled by the black substance and instantly minced into meat paste.

"Screw you!!!"
