Departure

Time travel.

Return.

It's like a segment in life.

The past and the future are thus clearly separated.

Even if something terrible happens in the Inner World, upon returning, many things will start anew and bring about unknown changes.

But this is just the fate of an ordinary Time Walker. For Qing Chen, his past and future are not separate, but connected.

Before his return, he had just gone through a dangerous journey; after his return, he still faces danger.

Qing Chen still stood on the rooftop of the building Shinsaibashi in Osaka, waiting...

Everyone knows that in the last hour of his last time travel countdown, he suddenly appeared on the streets of Osaka, attracting an attack from the Mysterious Affairs Department.

Many domestic Time Walker even took out their phones as soon as they returned to the platform, logging onto Weibo, Douyin, and Bilibili, waiting for the latest news.

They wanted to know if the Lord of Daybreak, who had just become famous in the Inner World, would return safely.

However, the moment Qing Chen returned, an anomaly had already occurred.

The dazzling lights of downtown Osaka illuminate the city, with countless homes shining brightly. In the Shinsaibashi, tourists continue to stream across Shinsaibashi, and the low beams of vehicles create a galaxy of stars along the long street.

But those Time Walker who were originally attacking Qing Chen suddenly turned into corpses.

The people that Qing Chen and Luo Wanyai killed first suddenly disappeared into thin air.

These people have all been sacrificed by the Cloud Mirror of the Kamishiro Kongxu to track down Qing Chen.

Those who were later gathered together and buried alive by Zard lay on the street, their mouths, eyes, nostrils, and ears stuffed with yellow earth.

In just a moment, more than 700 living people disappeared and more than 600 corpses appeared in Shinsaibashi, Osaka!

The only thing that remains unchanged is the boy looking down at the world from the rooftop.

Residents in nearby buildings recorded videos, sometimes focusing on Qing Chen, sometimes on the corpses lying dead on the street, and sometimes on the scattered Time Walker, hiding in the shadows and posting all of this online.

Originally, although many people in the Inner World knew that the Lord of Daybreak was wreaking havoc in City 22, they did not know who the Lord of Daybreak was killing or why he was killing people.

At that very moment, the answer was revealed: all those Qing Chen had killed were people from the Outer World who were about to attack him.

A terrifying crisis in the Outer World was averted by Qing Chen in the Inner World!

Those who guessed the inside story were utterly shocked. Was this the Lord of Daybreak's method?

But no one understood how Qing Chen had managed to pinpoint these people so accurately in the Inner World.

They were unaware of Qing Chen's precise facial recognition drawing technology; they only felt as if a magician of the century had suddenly performed a magic trick that no one could replicate.

Just like Houdini, one of the greatest magicians of the 20th century, who conjured an elephant in front of thousands of spectators.

I was simply shocked.

At this moment, Qing Chen calmly glanced at his arm; the countdown was 167:58:12.

Seven days, a long cycle of travel and return, and we've returned to the way we were at the beginning.

He looked at the boundless night sky, then looked down.

If Kamishiro Yunluo wanted to kill him, then his current isolation and helplessness presented him with the best opportunity.

But the bustling city of Osaka suddenly fell silent.

On the streets of Osaka, Kamishiro Yunluo, carrying a dozen beers, was leisurely walking towards Shinsaibashi.

No more Time Walker from the Mysterious Affairs Department rushed over; they simply surrounded the building without attacking.

Kamishiro Yunluo took out her phone and dialed Qing Chen's number. "Hey, I know you have a backup plan to leave, but don't rush off. Stay and have a couple of drinks first. You were on guard in the Inner World, refusing to touch a drop of alcohol. You shouldn't need to be so cautious now that you're back in the Outer World, right?"

Qing Chen stood on the rooftop and laughed, "Shouldn't I be wary of you?"

"Be wary of me? Why?" Kamishiro Yunluo asked, feigning surprise. "Aren't we friends?"

Qing Chen fell silent.

Kamishiro Yunluo laughed heartily, "See? You actually think I might become your friend. Don't worry, keeping me around will have a negative impact on Kumashiro, and it will have the same effect on me. Although you say you and Kumashiro have no common interests, we do. Don't go, stay and have a couple of drinks, I'll take you to eat the most famous teppanyaki Wagyu beef in Shinsaibashi!"

At that moment, Qing Chen looked at the girl flying closer and closer in the night sky and said with a smile, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Kamishiro Yunluo looked up at the girl who was flying like a shooting star and exclaimed, "Having a partner you can completely trust is truly enviable."

"You can trust Kamishiro Yunxiu and Kamishiro Kongxu just the same, can't you?" Qing Chen said with a smile. "If you want to drink, you can come to China to drink, if you dare to come."

"I will go," said Kamishiro Yunluo. "Also, thank you for the pair of eyes you gave me; I received them."

Hyakume-ki aims to collect the eyeballs of one hundred B-Class superhumans. This abandoned son of the gods seems to be one step closer to his goal.

The story of Hyakume-ki collecting eyeballs has existed in legends since the Genji Clan era, but it hasn't appeared for nearly a thousand years.

As she spoke, Yang Yang came to his side, took his hand, and flew back into the night sky.

This return was not marked by the expected great battle; instead, it was remarkably peaceful.

Midnight in Osaka leaves behind only a legend.

Yang Yang asked, "I saw Kamiyo Yunhe's corpse disappear all of a sudden. Did you sacrifice it using Forbidden Item?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded.

Now, the number of people that Puppet Master can control has increased to three!

In the night sky, Qing Chen recalled what Kamiyo Yunhe had said and suddenly asked Yang Yang, "You're already B-Class. In your eyes, am I no longer human?"

Yang Yang paused for a moment, then hesitated before asking, "How did you know?"

Qing Chen sighed, "So what do I look like now?"

Yang Yang hesitated for a long time. "Makka Pakka?"

Qing Chen: "???"

What happened to the promise that only force fields would be visible? And what the heck is Makka Pakka?!

He was worried that when Yang Yang saw him in the future, she would only see a force field and wouldn't be able to see his true appearance.

To my surprise, Yang Yang answered like this!

Kamishiro Yunluo watched Qing Chen leave, then, carrying a dozen beers, continued walking towards the building.

He sat on the edge of the rooftop, his white hunting robe spotless.

Kamishiro Yunluo opened a can of beer, gulped it down, and then burped.

Kamishiro Yunxiu and Kamishiro Kongxu came up behind him. The girl with long black hair said, "Brother Yunluo, I feel that Kamiyo Yun Cang is problematic. I don't know what kind of deal the patriarch made with him, but he actually made Kamishiro Seigan give up his position as director to him."

Kamishiro Yunluo smiled and looked at Yunxiu: "Congratulations on becoming a director. Come and have a drink to celebrate."

Kamishiro Yunxiu didn't refuse. His muscles were bulging under his suit, and he held the can as if he were drinking oral liquid.

"I really envy your hearty drinking," Kamishiro Yunluo exclaimed. "That Kamiyo Yun Cang also tried to recruit me, but I refused. As Kong Yu said, I also find him a bit strange. Logically speaking, he took over the ancestor's power, and even if he was suppressed by the family head, entering the council should be a must, no problem. But he's too calm, so calm that he doesn't seem like the Kamiyo Yun Cang I know."

"I will keep an eye on him," said Kamishiro Yunxiu.

Kamishiro Yunluo nodded. "From now on, everyone needs to be careful."

This abandoned child of the Age of Gods looked at the night sky, feeling somewhat lonely.

Suddenly, Kamishiro Kongxu said, "Brother Yunluo, we will always be with you."

Kamishiro Yunluo chuckled and patted her head, "We still have a long way to go. By the way, I heard there was an awakening of non- Time Walker in the Outer World. Have you managed to control those people?"

"It's under control," Kamishiro Yunxiu nodded. "It's no different from the Awakened in the Inner World. It seems that the shackles of the Outer World have also been broken. One of them even became C-Class as soon as he awakened. I suspect that as the shackles of the world gradually open, there will be Chosen One awakens as an A-rank... and even an existence like Shadow who is born as an S-rank."

Kamishiro Yunluo smiled and said, "A person as brilliant and outstanding as Shadow is a once-in-a-century talent, even in the Inner World. Don't worry, there won't be one in the Outer World for the time being."

The incident regarding Qing Chen's exposed identity continues to unfold in the Outer World.

This matter is unrelated to most Time Walker, but it shakes the thoughts of every Time Walker, simply because everything Qing Chen did was something that ordinary Time Walker could not do.

At this moment, the mysterious expert player "He Xiaoxiao" reappeared and released a new strategy guide. This was the first time he had appeared in the public eye since he set up the group chat system.

On Douyin, it was still dark. The slightly magnetic voice summarized: The new expansion has been updated, but this time the main update is for the overseas part, which is closely related to the island nation and the Kamishiro Corporation. There is no new expansion update in China yet.

The main content of this update is that player Qing Chen was captured and taken to the A02 Secret Military Base in the north, but broke through the encirclement and arrived in City 22 to take revenge.

Ultimately, the operation concluded with the capture of A-level expert Kamiyo Yunhe and Kamishiro Seisho, one of the Ten Eunuchs.

The Kamishiro Corporation, seeking revenge, revealed the player's true identity, including the next leader of the Knights and the Lord of Daybreak.

Currently, among all players in the public beta, although Qing Chen players are not the strongest, their overall influence ranks first.

Next, I will choose an appropriate time to release my ranking summary of the public beta players.

There will be two lists: the first is a ranking of strength, and the second is a ranking of influence, both of which will be updated in real time over time.

In addition, given the frequent truancy of Time Walker, the Kunlun Organization of the Outer World will establish a centralized campus to bring together all Time Walker who are still in school. Specific details will be announced by Kunlun.

This mysterious expert still maintains a carefree attitude, and all those who were enthusiastically discussing the matter, upon seeing this update, finally confirmed that the news about the Inner World was not a rumor.

In Time Walker, there did indeed emerge a figure who could influence the course of Inner World history!

From this moment on, Daybreak has become the number one Time Walker organization, ranking alongside Kunlun and Jiuzhou, even though it only has a handful of members.

At this very moment, inside the Daylight Villa, everyone sat at the dining table, watching the news that "Qing Chen is the Lord of Daybreak," their expressions varying...

Among them, Liu Dezhu's expression was the most unpleasant.

He looked up and said, "I've been gossiping about the boss to him the whole time. Am I doomed?!"

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
