The instant he was born into this world, Zhao Cheng keenly sensed a force that was almost like a "refresh."
It was like a playthrough of a game reaching its end before a new playthrough began. Thus, every trace the player had left behind in the old playthrough, every interaction and relationship, every item obtained—all of it had to be wiped clean.
Of course, that was the theoretical situation. If the game had bugs, some things from the previous playthrough might remain.
But there was one thing: the player's own data. Unless the game crashed outright, clearing it would take the highest priority.
If that was not cleared, the new game could not proceed.
Yet, from Zhao Cheng's current perspective, there was clearly something wrong with this refresh.
Because the point in time at which he had been born was actually not the same as in the previous playthrough.
If a dimension were compared to a game, then his birth had come far too many years late.
Zhao Cheng clearly saw that he should have landed in the distant past, perhaps even at the very beginning of heaven and earth. But at the source of time, a powerful repulsive force had forcibly shoved him into this era.
The discrepancy this created would result in a massive bug.
That was, before his birth, some things from the previous playthrough would not be overwritten by the new save file.
And Zhao Cheng immediately grasped the most crucial point.
If he truly possessed the power to restart his life, but every restart shifted the point in time further back—then a hundred thousand years from now, when past and future collided in a great clash and everything returned to the ruins, would he not have no possibility of restarting left?
