Chapter 692: Can this crazy world please consider Little Lei Na?

Fourth Loop opened!

Zhang Jie felt his ability in this timeline had grown a bit stronger; this time, he could stop those other Zhang Jies from entering his timeline.

"Those Zhang Jies" are the people who appeared out of nowhere twice, assassinated Qi Yu, and then left.

They are essentially a group incapable of altering their own timelines, instead developing extreme hatred toward a certain person in the timeline.

They have completely broken free from their own timelines; in other words, they are drifters, worse off than those diligent Zhang Jies who constantly modify timelines.

If the journey of modifying time is lonely, then what they face is a earthbound spirit formed from obsession.

Indeed, the indomitable obsession is now functioning in a way utterly unlike its intended purpose; this bunch that should have concluded has once again appeared in someone else's timeline to cause trouble.

Including Old Man Zhang Jie, nobody knows their exact location.

It could be a certain timeline, or some unknown space; either way, it doesn't matter.

"I'm sick of whatever forced love this little thing tries to push on me!"

Zhang Jie was so angry he almost laughed; he had expected an epic showdown, but the ending turned out to be him being imprisoned by a yandere.

Presumably, with his ability to influence timelines strengthened this time, Qi Yu wouldn't appear in this situation.

Fourth Loop: he revised Qi Yu's experiences, isolating the external Zhang Jies' influence on the timeline.

Fifth Loop: he attempted to calibrate the Mother Goddess's tragic experience at the source, but unfortunately, this attempt not only failed, it instead caused a massive shift in the timeline.

This wasn't an error of the timeline itself, but stemmed from Zhang Jie's insufficient ability.

If he could personally descend before the Mother Goddess to calibrate the timeline, none of this would have happened.

The Fifth Loop's timeline error directly caused Qi Yu to vanish entirely; even the idea of having that yandere imprison you is now impossible.

Timeline chaos directly caused the Mother Goddess's personality to change drastically, yet unexpectedly it led to the Abnormal God being killed five years early.

Of course, this wasn't Zhang Jie's doing.

The price of the Mother Goddess losing control was not merely the destruction of human society; she even devoured the Evil God whole.

Having reached a level akin to a Legendary Investigator, she tore open the stellar firmament and faced the endless Insect Tide alone.

Is that a good ending? Fat chance, but Zhang Jie still happened to learn some useful information.

The Evil God carries enough corruption for him to break through the Legendary Investigator's barrier!

So the main objective is clear: kill three Abnormal Gods, then slay the Evil God, and become a Legendary Investigator.

This is already the simplest method, whereas most Zhang Jies in other timelines do not achieve it this way.

As mentioned earlier, Si Luo used the strange substance in his blood to create another great disaster, namely the monster known as Supermundane.

In other timelines, a full-scale war centered on Supermundane has already erupted.

Yet even in dire straits there is a way out: the Supermundane's body harbors considerable corruption, and those other timelines' Zhang Jies rely on this to become Legendary Investigators.

But the biggest problem is that this move sacrifices over sixty percent of the global population; in his timeline, he surely couldn't have sacrificed that many people, right?

Thus slaying the Evil God becomes a necessary condition. Besides, what use is an AI left here doing nothing? It can't help, it's corrupted too—so it's useless.

Zhang Jie cursed, helpless, and could only initiate the Sixth Loop.

But he didn't know that Lei Na had, at some point, begun to gradually slip free of the timeline's control.

In other words, no matter how the timeline changes, she feels nothing; instead, she can sense every alteration within the timeline.

Still, he's okay in that she doesn't have to fully experience the timeline each time.

And what about the Zhang Jie outside? The Fifth Loop signifies he's already over a hundred years old.

"How's it going today?"

Lei Na dragged herself out of bed, exhausted; now he checks his phone first thing each morning to see whether human history has changed.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Today, at last, I didn't have to crawl out of the tent."

Lei Na scratched her head; the sticky feeling made him feel awful, though it was better than yesterday.

Yesterday, she had even lost her room, rising straight from a battlefield ablaze with war; even with a Speech Ban Permit, she merely gained a tent to stay in.

She reeked head to toe, and the lingering scent of gunpowder in the air is something she can't forget.

All day she followed Zhang Jie into battle, but this Zhang Jie wasn't the one she remembered; this Zhang Jie was full of sorrow for the future, his hair white, clearly having undergone many regressions.

Their relationship runs deep, leaving Lei Na even feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.

But fortunately, the next day the situation reversed; still, who can tell her what this thing is that's fighting her for the toilet?

Why is Qi Yu fighting her for the toilet?

Lei Na had no recourse; she only felt that this world was utterly mad.

"What the hell? Green-tea girl, you want to snatch my toilet too?"

Lei Na:....

The familiar tone, the familiar cadence—damn, this thing is truly Qi Yu.

My master, what the hell are you messing with? Can't you consider Little Lei Na's feelings?

"It's fine, you do your thing."

"Remember to flush..."

"None of your business!!!"

Lei Na paced to the door of Zhang Jie's study, where she could hear his voice speaking inside.

"I've said it over and over—I'm confident, so why don't you believe me?"

"I'm telling you, you old fool—those wrecks of yours aren't getting fixed again; I'll smash them every time you try!"

"Geez, you're still up for it? If you've got the guts, come fight me—I've got four Forbidden Permits here, come on over!"

Lei Na:....

Still half-asleep, it looks like she needs to sleep a bit longer.

You mean Qi Yu also got on the Forbidden Permit? That's quite a life.

How did her master manage to produce so many strange substances? At the time, even giving her just one person's worth was almost insufficient.

Moreover, after enduring so much hardship, she only then became a Forbidden Permit, and they keep popping up one after another like dumplings.

"Still the same thing, I'm confident I can kill them; don't mess with your broken boat."

"I, old man, made four Forbidden Permits in half a year; don't you get their value?"

"Not tomorrow, just this afternoon, while the corruption hasn't yet reshaped its body, let's directly kill the aberration."

"You're scared of nothing, keep chattering; believe it or not I'll directly tell those old guys to let you go first?"

"Just like that, I'm out!"
