Chapter 207
Chen Ran did not give a definite answer, but instead abruptly asked, "Doctor, would you like to go down and take a look?"
"May I?"
"Sure."
Chen Ran nodded, then looked at Wishdale beside him. "What about you, Little Wei? Do you want to go down and take one last look?"
Upon hearing this, Wishdale immediately understood that Chen Ran probably wanted to reverse the planet and turn back time.
After all, he's one of our own men. It's just the destruction of a planet and the demise of a civilization.
If your own man really wanted to save you, wouldn't it be as simple as just lifting a finger?
Only that clueless Doctor was still there, wailing and lamenting.
Upon hearing this, Wishdale proudly raised her little head and said, "Of course I want to see it! I am the savior of this planet, and these are my honors. How can I not see them?"
As he spoke, Wishdale took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of the model of the planet that had turned into a whole piece of Originium, as a keepsake.
Chen Ran didn't stop them. After Wishdale finished taking pictures, he grabbed the Doctor with one hand and Wishdale with the other, and put them into the planet model in front of them.
"Just call me when you're done playing."
Finally, Chen Ran didn't forget to give this advice.
Apart from the bright yellow color of Originium, there are no other colors on this planet.
Mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, and plants were all assimilated by Originium, becoming exquisite works of art.
The Doctor, who had just been sent to this planet by Chen Ran, looked around but couldn't find even the slightest trace of life.
This filled the Doctor with sorrow.
Silence reigned; the only sounds were the crisp clinking of crystals as my feet touched the ground, and—
"Rhodes Island is in that direction. I don't know if it was affected by the final battle, but it's in that area. Don't you dare run off, or I'll have to search the whole world for you."
Wishdale's voice came from beside him, causing the Doctor to instinctively turn his head to look.
However, Wishdale showed no intention of traveling with her. Instead, he had a halo around his head, wings on his back, and took to the air.
"I'll go check if those old guys are dead or not, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Wishdale left.
The Doctor didn't chase after him. He just looked in the direction Wishdale had pointed earlier, hesitated, and then, as if summoning his courage, walked towards Rhodes Island.
I'm very lucky.
Rhodes Island still exists, but it can only be called a remnant.
The building collapsed, exposing the keel, but the overall framework was still preserved, because even Rhodes Island was completely covered and assimilated by Originium.
The Doctor walked into Rhodes Island, but there was no welcoming greeting from PRTS, nor did he see the bustling crowds of the past, where Amiya, the Little Rabbit, would always be the first to run over and innocently say, "Doctor, welcome home."
The Doctor remained silent throughout; she simply walked quietly through each corridor and each room.
Finally, the Doctor climbed onto the bridge and stood there alone, enjoying the breeze...
Oh, and there's no wind either.
Wanting to reminisce about people by looking at objects, one discovers that everything has changed and people are no longer the same.
A thousand words are left unsaid, yet they remain stuck in my throat.
The Doctor squatted down.
The once bustling world is now reduced to just her alone.
No, there's also Wishdale.
The Doctor looked up again, wanting to see where Wishdale had gone.
Previously, Wishdale, as the savior, engaged in a final battle with Ananna, the Primal Originium.
In that battle, Wishdale exhausted all her ammunition and tried every means possible. In the end, it was only thanks to the Black Crown that Chen Ran crowned her that a dagger materialized, allowing her to finally pierce the core with a single blow.
Then, the Primal Originium Anana activated its Deathrattle, and the shockwave from the explosion spread throughout the entire planet, even altering the terrain and tectonic plates.
When Wishdale awoke, she had already been lifted thousands of feet into the air by the rising tectonic plates.
There, she met Chen Ran, and was eventually captured by Chen Ran.
So here's the question—
Where are Wishdale's weapons?
What happened to that main cannon-class sorcery amplification unit, also known as the 'Ancestor Launcher,' which had accompanied her for so long and housed the Souls?
She forgot about it.
Although Wishdale didn't want to admit it, she had forgotten her friends for love, ran off with a man to live a better life, and had completely forgotten about her weapon.
But Wishdale did have to admit that it was only after she returned here that she finally remembered.
So, that's why she came looking for me.
Amidst the sea of golden yellow, only her 'Ancestor Launcher' gleamed silver, making it quite easy to spot.
Although Wishdale's first words were. "Hey, old folks, are you still alive? If you are, say something."
As soon as she finished speaking, the 'Ancestor Launcher' that had been lying there for who knows how long began to vibrate noticeably.
"Wow~ You old fogies are still alive? Tsk tsk tsk, you're really lucky."
"What do you mean I abandoned you? When I was fighting that Primal Originium, why didn't you care whether I lived or died?"
"Oh... you saw a god appear in the world and took me away? Well, I was just saved and then rushed here to find you."
"You don't think so? You think I'm more like I'm off having a good time with someone else? What? Can't I even enjoy myself?"
"If you old fogies keep babbling, I'll bury you all here."
Although it was clear that Wishdale was speaking to the Souls inside the 'Ancestor Launcher',
But if an uninformed outsider saw this, they would probably think that Wishdale was delirious and was just talking to himself.
Oh, everyone in this Worldline is dead, nobody will watch?
That's alright then.
Chapter 325 What price will be paid for rewinding time? Don't worry, Precise will pay it for you.
By the time Wishdale retrieved the 'Ancestor Launcher' and flew back to Rhodes Island,
At first glance, you can see the Doctor, while groaning, using readily available materials to build one small tombstone after another on the bridge deck.
Who knows how the Doctor, with his frail body, managed to carve out Originium, stack and shape it, and even carve the words "Tomb of xxx" on it.
"Tch, so ugly. It's not even as nice as the grave I made for Amiya, that Little Rabbit."
The thought that Chen Ran would later reverse the planet and turn back time would render all of the Doctor's current efforts futile.
Wishdale clicked his tongue twice, took out his phone, and snapped a few pictures of the Doctor to commemorate this embarrassing moment.
However, despite saying that, after taking the picture, Wishdale still reached out and patted her 'Ancestor Launcher'.
Then it turned the cannon around, began to charge up energy, and after a few loud blasts, it blasted a large pile of Originium fragments onto the ground.
Using this as readily available material, Wishdale, standing beside the Doctor, began to build several small tombstones.
However, the tomb the Doctor might be for Rhodes Island operators like Kal'tsit, Warfarin, Closure.
The graves of Theresia, Ines, and Heredrey were piled up in Wishdale.
And so, the two of them piled it up from morning till night.
During that time, apart from a few sarcastic remarks from Wishdale Doctor's frail and easily pushed-over physique, the two barely exchanged a single word.
By the end of the day, the number of tombstones had exceeded fifty, but this was nothing compared to the number of Rhodes Island's former operators and the living inhabitants of this land.
Blessed by the gods, Wishdale did not feel tired at all; in fact, she was still full of energy and felt she could stack another hundred or so.
But not for Doctor.
The Doctor was already recovering from a serious illness, and was also physically weak. He hadn't eaten a single grain of rice or drunk a sip of water, and after a whole day of high-intensity work...
His swaying manner gave the impression that the Doctor might collapse at any moment and rest peacefully on the spot.
"Tsk, alright, alright, what are you doing, giving up on yourself like that? I don't want to have to build another grave for you later."
In the end, it was Wishdale who couldn't stand it anymore.
She patted the Originium fragments off her hands, then grabbed the Doctor by the back of the neck.
Seeing the Doctor's zombie-like appearance, Wishdale clicked his tongue in annoyance for some reason. "Go back. If I didn't want to see you make a fool of yourself, I wouldn't bother with you."
After saying that, Wishdale reached out and slapped her 'Ancestor Launcher': "Full power, charge up, this time we're going to summon the gods to appear in the world, you old hags, use all your strength for me, otherwise I won't mind building a grave for you old hags too."
Whether it was Wishdale's threat that worked, or whether the Souls also wanted to see the so-called Lord God,
The energy gathered at the muzzle of that 'Ancestor Launcher' was at a level comparable to its power during its battle with the Primal Originium, Anan.
With the energy fully gathered, Wishdale adjusted the cannon's muzzle towards the sky.
Then, with a deafening roar, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
"That's pretty fast!"
Because of the different flow of time, Wishdale and the Doctor spent a whole day building graves in the planet model, but for Chen Ran, not even a few minutes had passed.
So it's like they just put those two people in, turned around and said a few words to the Little Watermelon that was incubating its eggs, and then a beam of light shot out from the planet model.
He reached out and pulled Wishdale and the Doctor out of the planet model.
Wishdale was alright, except that her 'Ancestor Launcher' was glowing red-hot and had completely fallen silent and shut down.
But the Doctor...
"What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked. "Little Wei, did you trick this Doctor into doing farm work? He looks like he's about to burn out."
"Who knows her?" Wishdale patted her 'Ancestor Launcher' and found that it seemed to have burned out. She said irritably, "This guy has been sitting there making graves all day without saying a word. I thought she was mute."
"Build a grave? What for?" Chen Ran paused before saying, "Wait, Little Wei, didn't you tell the Doctor? I'm about to reverse the planet and go back in time?"
"Didn't I say?" Wishdale blinked, then suddenly picked up his chopsticks. "Oh dear, I forgot!"
"..., to be honest, Little Wei, your pinching sounds are pretty disgusting."
"You son of a bitch—"
Wishdale rolled up his sleeves, eager to have a proper discussion with Chen Ran.
Why is it that Mylnar, that Water Elf, keeps calling everyone "her" while you, you bastard, think she has that first love feeling or girlfriend vibe?
Why is it that when it comes to me, all I feel is 'disgust'?
But before Wishdale could even begin to commit domestic violence, the Doctor, upon hearing the news, seemed to sit up in shock, as if he were on his deathbed.
"Wait, wait a minute!" the Doctor immediately shouted, "What did you mean by reversing the planet and turning back time?"
"It means exactly what it says." Chen Ran turned his head and said, "Turning the timeline of this planet back to before the primitive rampage, then everyone would be brought back to life. That's why I asked, what were you guys thinking, spending a whole day building graves?"
"..." The Doctor ignored Chen Ran's sarcastic remarks, only remembering a few key words. "Really...? Can it bring everyone back to life?"
"Really?"
"Then... what price do I need to pay to achieve this—"
"It doesn't matter," Chen Ran said. "Anyway, someone will pay the price for you, like Precise, and Precise and such."
After all, going back in time not only helped Precise win the resurrection match, but also solved her Originium problem, and even brought her beloved Doctor back to life.
A win-win-win situation! Shouldn't Chen Ran ask Precise for a small reward?
As for whether Precise, like her in the Year Beast resurrection storyline, also wants to know about the 'Lumberjack' or 'whether it's possible to go back to the Pre-Civilization'—
