A New Timeline, With the Herrscher of Thousands as the Target
"Um, whose custody?"
"The custody of Lady Adam Kaslana was due to the fact that when Lord Su used your God Keys to fight Lord Kevin, he ultimately sealed the latter within the Sea of Quantum, and then... nurtured the Kaslana family of this civilization."
Of course, this only applies to the first few generations of Kaslana. Once the white-haired husky had multiplied and gradually become a family, Sue simply abandoned it.
"... Where is he now?"
"I'm very sorry, I didn't know."
"Those two idiots!!"
Bai Ge took a deep breath. He now had an urge to drag these two out and give them a good beating. Speaking of which, Su, didn't you refuse to take care of the child in the first place?! Now you're fighting for custody!
First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.
Chapter 372, A New Timeline, The Goal is Herrscher of the Thousand (Please Submit Your Own Chapter)
"Su, I thought you were a reliable person, but I never expected this! You really are the kind of guy who grew up with Kevin like brothers, how could you cause me such a mess?!"
Bai Ge took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.
Despite all the preparations and arrangements he made to prevent fate from altering his course, he never expected that these two would be able to match history from such a peculiar angle!
(I'll confiscate the child when I get back. I'll let Kalpas take care of the child then; neither of you is reliable!)
"And what about the others?"
"The other Flame Chasers are still asleep in the Elysian Realm. Your Majesty, do you intend to awaken them?"
"No need, there's no need right now."
Bai Ge shook his head. He knew that the awakening would only happen when he returned to the original timeline. Right now, he had other things to confirm, so he made a call in his mind.
(System, tell me how things are going? Has anything interesting changed in the world?)
Bai Ge asked with great interest.
This was actually one of his experiments.
The principles behind every previous time travel.
All of these involve transporting his soul to the corresponding time and space, and then constructing a corresponding body based on that soul.
Only after the time travel ends will Bai Ge's soul return to his body in the original time.
No matter how long the time travel is, there will be no delay after returning to the original timeline. In other words, when he travels to the past, Bai Ge's present is paused.
And then something interesting happens.
Bai Ge, relying on [All Things Dormant], returned directly from the Previous Civilization to the Current Civilization without his soul returning to the original timeline. Moreover, he didn't go back to 2015 when he left, but went directly to 2017!
While he was suspended in the present, he somehow managed to travel directly to the future!!
It's like in a game where the emergency food tells you, "Explore the areas ahead later," but you somehow manage to exploit a bug and end up on a new map that hasn't been unlocked yet.
Bai Ge was very curious about how the world had changed.
System: (Host, oh my god, this bug is way too much! It's gotten into a really serious situation, you know that?!)
Bai Ge: (Don't be nervous, speak slowly. For me, this is actually no different from the various attempts I made in my past ten reincarnations to change the fate of 17.)
System:(...)
In the Previous Civilization, Bai Ge tried all the possibilities in order to find the optimal solution to fight against the Honkai, and finally achieved the glorious feat of breaking through the Honkai and having no more than a dozen people die worldwide.
Although he tried all the possibilities in the past, he still couldn't find a way to save the Pink Fairy Lady and free the Herrscher of the Current Civilization from the Honkai shackles.
But what he did this time really surprised the system.
Bai Ge broke through the "present" that had been paused and arrived at the "future" that he shouldn't have arrived at. Simply put, he accidentally found a bug in the system and the world.
System: (I give up, host. Let me explain. Although you have indeed returned to the Previous Civilization, you have not arrived at the original timeline.)
(The world will make appropriate corrections based on the changes you make to the past to ensure a reasonable connection with the future. Simply put, if it's just a simple bug, the world will fix it for you, but...)
(The bug you created this time is so huge that even the world doesn't know what to do. You need to fix it!!)
Bai Ge blinked in surprise, feeling as if he had gone too far.
He could almost picture a programmer with the word "world" written all over his face, staring in utter despair at the massive bug he'd created, scratching his head frantically as his hair fell out in a frenzy.
Bai Ge: (Um, so what's the situation now?)
System: (Hey~ Since we can't fix the bug, let's just not fix it and rewrite it... Simply put, this timeline is now an if-if line.)
If we refer to the Honkai Impact storyline as Timeline A.
The storyline after Bai Ge travels through time is called Timeline B.
So now, he's exploiting a bug to reach an impossible future timeline, which is timeline C.
Bai Ge: "Oh, I see~"
System: (Host, you're so calm! But now the problem is serious! This timeline provides a reasonable explanation for your existence, but it's not your original timeline! Don't you plan to return to your original timeline?)
Bai Ge: "What's the panic? I just accidentally came to a parallel world. I have a way to go back to my original world, so just think of it as a trip to a parallel world."
System:(...)
Looking at Bai Ge's calm and composed appearance, it didn't know what to say. Its host was awesome, worthy of being the savior who saved the world 12 times.
At this moment, even the system couldn't help but feel lucky that it wasn't bound to the kind of giant baby host who couldn't do anything, just lay around waiting for the system to feed him skills.
So far, all it has offered Bai Ge is the opportunity to go back to the past. All of Bai Ge's power, authority, and knowledge are things he acquired himself.
"Tell me about this timeline. How is it different from my original timeline?"
Bai Ge asked with great interest.
System: (Yes, host, you died in this timeline.)
Bai Ge: "???"
System: (And died four times.)
Bai Ge: "Wodefa!"
It seems that the system found it difficult to explain, so it simply transferred Bai Ge's memories from this world to him.
After reading it, Bai was speechless on the spot.
There was only one thought in my mind.
(If fate were a screenwriter, it would definitely be working at miHoYo! Was it really necessary to cut it like this?!)
Including the initial time travel to this world, Bai Ge has traveled a total of four times so far.
In these four time travels, he averted countless tragedies and changed the fates of many people. Moreover, due to his own unique nature, the fates of these people will not be changed again.
For example, Sirin will not become the Herrscher of the Void, Wendy, Ji Lin, and Himeko will not die, etc.
Therefore, in order to make these past events believable, the moment Bai Ge first transmigrated into this world in this timeline is shown.
The world then simultaneously teleported him to four different points in time.
First point in time.
Bai Ge is an ordinary student at the Chiyou Academy. When Raiden Mei, the young lady of ME Corp, was at her lowest point in life and suffered a lot of bullying at school, he was the only the Lover stood by the girl's side.
Just as Raiden Mei was about to awaken as the Herrscher of Thunder due to Cocolia's schemes, unleashing the Great Honkai and killing everyone in Changkong City.
Bai Ge bravely awakened Mei's humanity and influenced her Herrscher Persona, successfully preventing the outbreak of the Great Honkai. However, due to close contact with the Herrscher, he was corrupted by Honkai Energy and died in Mei's arms.
Second time point.
During the Second Honkai Eruption, she became Sirin's support in the Babylon Laboratory, and volunteered to undergo human experiments to protect her, eventually awakening as the Herrscher of the Void.
Although he destroyed the Babylon Laboratory and became a quadruple Herrscher, in order to protect Sirin and everyone in Siberia from Schicksal's missiles, Bai Ge eventually exhausted his Honkai Energy and was killed by Honkai Energy Fission Bomb.
The third time point.
He adopted Bronya, Seele, and other children who had become orphans due to the Honkai, and established the Hearth Home Orphanage.
In the end, in order to protect the two girls from their inevitable fate of participating in the X-10 experiment, Bai Ge took their place in the X-10 experiment, ultimately dying from the quantum disintegration of his entire body.
The fourth time point.
He was a young teacher at the St. Freya Academy after Kiana was forcibly awakened by Otto to become the Herrscher of the Void.
He donned the Vermilion Knight: Eclipse Himeko: Eclipse in place of Himeko, gave Kiana "The Last Lesson," and burned his own life to save the girl before ultimately dying in the Imaginary Space.
Although both are changes to the original plot.
However, it differs significantly from the way the system is used.
Therefore, without the restriction that the present is paused during time travel and cannot proceed to the future, there is no such restriction.
Therefore, in this timeline, Bai Ge can be a plausible existence, the time paradox will not exist, and the Previous Civilization that he altered can also normally connect with this Current Civilization.
Bai Ge: "*¥%@!#¥%"
He slapped his forehead, speechless, while looking at the four CG images displayed by the system.
He died in front of Mei, in front of Sirin, in front of Bronya Seele, and in front of Kiana.
Bai Ge now has an urge to flip the table.
"I wanted to change all the knives! I didn't want to become a knife myself, damn it!"
