When had a Transmigrator appeared in Shendu's world? Tony Stark did not know. But the key question was: how had Shendu discovered that a Transmigrator had appeared in his world?
If Shendu had been in his own world at the time and noticed something different from the Memory Copy—something that could not possibly have been a natural change caused by the Chat Group's appearance—and thus discovered the Transmigrator, Tony would not have been surprised in the slightest. But Shendu had been fighting Marquis Voban in the Virtual Battle Arena at the time.
Although battles in the Virtual Battle Arena involved one's consciousness entering it while the body remained in reality, how could he have discovered a Transmigrator when even his consciousness was in the Virtual Battle Arena?
It could not have been that the Transmigrator had found Shendu, gotten too close, and been sensed by Shendu while he was multitasking, could it?
But even if the Transmigrator had appeared right in front of Shendu, Shendu would have had no way to determine that he was a Transmigrator.
His world was not devoid of humans. How could he identify someone as a Transmigrator just by seeing them?
Shendu: "While I was in the Virtual Battle Arena, the Chat Group notified me that my world's timeline was being altered by the Book of Ages and asked whether I wished to spend Points to make the world immune to its alterations."
Shendu: "Such an interesting..."
Before Shendu could finish speaking, Su Yunqing interrupted him.
Ordinary Group Owner: "What the hell did you say? The Book of Ages?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Didn't Bai Xuan already take that thing away? Where did another Book of Ages come from?"
Su Yunqing could hardly believe what she was reading. The Book of Ages was altering the timeline?
