Qin Xin Was Dead, Killed by An Mingyu

The result was somewhat in line with Cheng Shi's expectations. Aside from Gels, the other three all confirmed that the Abyssal Volcano had always been flowing backward!

With that, Cheng Shi had a bolder guess about the temporal discrepancy affecting the NPCs.

If his guess about the era Xilolin belonged to was correct, then she was someone who belonged to the "future" in terms of the epoch, but the "past" in terms of the era. Setting aside Yadelik's current status for the moment, if he applied this logic in reverse to Gels's identity, did that mean this stowaway ought to be someone who belonged to the "past" in terms of the epoch, but the "future" in terms of the era?

Moreover, the earlier deduction concerning the current era had confirmed that this had to be either the Civilization Era or the Void Era. That meant the era Gels belonged to could only be the Void Era.

And he could conclude that the present was the Civilization Era!

Therefore, judging solely by the Civilization Era, the Abyssal Volcano of the Void Era erupted upward, while the Abyssal Volcano of the Civilization Era erupted downward!

This could very well be the Abyssal Volcano's greatest secret!

Then, which era did Xilolin come from?

Life and Sinking could be ruled out first, because neither of those eras had a Civilization Era.

So she could only have come from the Civilization or Chaos Era. As for which one exactly, Cheng Shi had no way to answer, but he felt that the direction in which the Abyssal Volcano erupted was very likely a crucial clue.

As for Yadelik, there was nothing unusual about him anymore, and no other associations could be drawn from him. Cheng Shi could only regard him as an ordinary Cencha from a
