Time and Space

Looking at the massive amount of red crystals in the soul-bound space, Yun Xi fell into thought. It seemed she would have to replan the path she would take in this life.

The task of killing the Clan Exterminators could wait. It was not something she could consider at her current stage.

But there was one thing she could not do: attract too much attention.

She naturally understood the principle that possessing great wealth invited trouble. In her previous life, even the few "little treasures" she had obtained had drawn countless covetous eyes, let alone an entire treasure vault like this.

If she attracted the attention of the Clan Exterminators by squandering her resources before she had grown strong, then even if she could resurrect infinitely, this life of hers would probably be over.

After all, no one knew whether the Clan Exterminators had a way to restrain divine artifacts.

After thinking it over, Yun Xi reorganized her memories.

As time passed, her expression grew increasingly stiff. Something was wrong. How had a segment of memories that did not belong to "her" suddenly appeared in her mind?

And yet, "she" truly was her—or rather, she was the Yun Xi of this spacetime.

In Yun Xi's own memories of her spacetime, her parents had died in a car accident two years ago, leaving her an old house in their hometown and a hundred thousand yuan in savings.

Relying on those savings, Yun Xi had gone to university. It was during her sophomore year that Godfall Continent went online.

It could be said that her life before entering Godfall Continent had been utterly unremarkable.

However, "her" life in this spacetime had been full of dramatic twists and turns.

Two years ago, her parents had likewise died in a car accident. However, according to this spacetime's Yun Xi, they had been her adoptive parents.

Not long after her adoptive parents died, her biological parents came looking for her. After a paternity test, she was taken back by the Yun Family, one of A City's major wealthy families. She was the real heiress who had been switched at birth all those years ago.

From then on, "her" life underwent a drastic transformation. Draped in finery and pampered in luxury, she was given an affluent life by her biological parents.

But all of this came with conditions. As a wealthy heiress, Yun Xi was needed for a marriage alliance. In less than a year, the Yun Family had arranged a marriage for her. Her fiancé was the eldest young master of another wealthy family in A City.

Up to this point, things had still been fairly normal. The problem was that something suddenly happened to that eldest young master's family.

Not long ago, the eldest young master's parents had died in an accident. As for the eldest young master himself, no one knew what kind of shock he had suffered. He began frantically selling off his assets.

That eldest young master's family had thus fallen from power.

Her biological parents, who placed profit above all else, panicked and ordered Yun Xi to break off the engagement with him.

The Yun Xi of this spacetime had suffered a great blow from the death of her adoptive parents. As a result, she cherished the bond between herself and her parents immensely.

Therefore, she was very obedient to her biological parents. Without much hesitation, she broke off her engagement with the eldest young master.

By sheer coincidence, the engagement had been broken off yesterday.

Her memories ended there.

Yun Xi exhaled deeply. This plot... why did it feel so familiar?

Not only was there a "real and fake heiress," but she also seemed to be the "former fiancée supporting character" from one of those "break off the engagement at the slightest provocation" novels...

Most importantly, she was extremely familiar with the "shallow male protagonist." More familiar than anyone could possibly be.

Gu Shian had been one of her closest friends in Godfall Continent in her previous life. They had often fought monsters and leveled up together.

Thinking of his crazed asset sell-off, could that guy have been reborn too?

Yun Xi shook her head. The most important thing right now was not Gu Shian, but the launch of Godfall Continent tomorrow.

Moreover, the point in time to which the Rebirth Divine Stone had brought her was not her original spacetime.

Then, did this mean that everything in the future was uncertain?

After getting up and washing, Yun Xi formally went to ask her homeroom teacher and counselor for a long leave of absence.

Godfall Continent would launch tomorrow, and the test server would remain open for ten days. She did not have time to continue attending classes at school.

Besides, logging into Godfall Continent meant entering with her true body, so taking leave was necessary.

After arranging everything, Yun Xi tidied up briefly, left the school, and hailed a taxi home.

From "her" memories, she learned that although her biological parents favored the "fake heiress" more, they had treated her decently enough. At the very least, she had never lacked anything materially.

For her convenience, they had bought her a large luxury apartment near the school, where she could stay on weekends.

She received a fixed living allowance of fifty thousand yuan every month. On her birthday and important holidays, they gave her gifts, and she never lacked gold, silver, or jade jewelry.

As for her biological parents in this life, Yun Xi felt nothing toward them. Unlike the Yun Xi of this spacetime, she had lived ten extra years and could naturally see that her biological parents had no real affection for her either. Beneath their gentle exterior was utter indifference.

Although the fake heiress's instigation had played a part, the most important reason was that they simply did not love Yun Xi.

They had brought her back and provided her with an appropriate material life merely to preserve the Yun Family's reputation and facilitate a marriage alliance.

The fake heiress, Yun Linlin, had received the same treatment. However, unlike Yun Xi's sudden arrival, her fiancé was her childhood sweetheart, and they shared deep feelings. Thus, Yun Linlin had no objections and was even happy to see the marriage happen.

As for Yun Xi herself, the only two close friends shared by her past and present memories were her childhood friend, Yu Jinxiang, and her university roommate, Tu Jiaojiao.

In her previous life, during the first disaster after Godfall Continent fused with Blue Star, Yu Jinxiang had unfortunately fallen into danger.

Tu Jiaojiao, on the other hand, had supported Yun Xi through quite a long period. Unfortunately, Tu Jiaojiao later encountered danger during a special solo mission.

Yun Xi had made many other friends afterward, but those two held a special place in her heart. After all, they had been her good friends during the peaceful era.

The two of them represented not only themselves, but also Yun Xi's memories from her time on Blue Star.

Now that she had been reborn, Yun Xi would naturally remind them when the crucial moment came. As for anything more, there was nothing she could do to help.

If she did not have the treasure vault, she might not have been so constrained. But since the matter involved the Clan Exterminators, Yun Xi could only be more cautious than cautious. If she could lie low, she would lie low; she absolutely could not appear too "abnormal."

With regard to her two friends, she could not become too close to them, nor did she need to distance herself too much. Occasionally checking in on one another's safety would be just right.

Becoming too close might bring them harm.

Time flew by, and the taxi had already arrived at the entrance of the residential compound.

She first returned home and tidied up a little, then went to the supermarket to buy some food that was convenient to stockpile.

She still remembered that after Blue Star and Godfall Continent completely fused, all the food resources on Blue Star had been contaminated by the "ghostly energy." In this life, she absolutely would not repeat the suffering of her previous one.

At the very least, she had to obtain the "Chef" Sub-profession.

The soul-bound space was completely filled with red crystals, leaving not even the slightest bit of room. Yun Xi had no choice but to put the food supplies she had bought in the spare bedroom, filling the entire room.

Before the fusion with Godfall Continent, she probably would not have time to cook properly either, so she would have to rely on these instant foods.
