Reawakening

"Is this describing the Wasteland? An era before it had completely become infested with insects?"

Lu Ban quickly thought of that civilization which had chosen suicide amid its madness.

Now, this mission had also crossed over to the early days of the Wasteland. Judging by the circumstances, it might even be possible to save the Wasteland.

Lu Ban thought about it. It seemed that it was not entirely impossible.

For example, to ensure that the loop of fate remained unchanged, even if he truly saved the Wasteland, he would still need to isolate an area where the insects could live, ensuring that his "past" self could accurately complete those missions in the Wasteland of the "future."

That way, he would indeed have witnessed the Wasteland's insect swarm and the destruction of Future City, but they would only have been an illusion—a lie woven by his "future" self.

Likewise, for events that had already happened, as long as Lu Ban could travel to their source and make certain arrangements, he could reverse the outcome without changing the past.

If he had the chance, Lu Ban really wanted to give it a try. After all, he might be able to save Trist, and perhaps even more people.

Moreover, Lu Ban had yet to truly meet the Wasteland Saint. He suspected that the Saint might also have been connected to the original civilization of that foreign realm. As for the answer, he would have to personally experience such an apocalypse to find out.

Gathering his thoughts, Lu Ban looked toward the planet a little farther away.

The planet looked extremely familiar to Lu Ban, with its deep-blue oceans and yellow-green land.

Cold, indifferent words emerged from the planet.
