Revisiting the past had always been like watching a show, which happened to be very close to his current state.
As Chu Ge slowly traced back through the past in Qiu Qiu's Autobiography, a thought suddenly occurred to him: could his current state of watching a show have resulted from a subtle deviation in the space-time axis?
Or was that the reason for the Heavenly Realm's separation?
Never mind. He would stop dwelling on it for now and focus on tracing the past.
Since the future Qiu Qiu had said so, the solution had to be here. In that brief span of time in the future, Qiu Qiu had singled out this one thing to say. Her hint had to concern what mattered most.
