Is it just my imagination?
The Quefeng had lived for an entire era, had no idea what was happening.
I clearly made my move just now; my blade was already at the general's neck. So why am I back here all of a sudden?
What did you do?
"What did you say, senior?" Ziyue smiled and said, "Oh, it seems this is already the second round."
"The second round?" Quefeng was taken aback, her brows furrowing as she quickly began to think.
At this moment, seeing the army's formation on the verge of collapse, the Empress's eyes flashed with impatience for the first time. What had just happened?
She had been closely monitoring the battlefield. It was clear that Quefeng had indeed made a move. Quefeng's speed was almost unmatched among her peers. Even with her own eyes, she couldn't keep up with Suzume's speed after the King Level seal was broken. But she knew that Quefeng had indeed made a move.
But why did I suddenly come back?
Was it Ziyue who did it? What did she do?
"It's that one," the emperor, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Do you know what it is?" The Empress looked at the other person.
"It should be," the emperor said, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty for the first time.
"Should be?"
"Back then, when King of Qin sealed the demon statue, it didn't go very smoothly. There were several extremely dangerous situations, but we inexplicably ended up back at the starting point."
"What do you mean?" The Empress was taken aback.
"It means exactly what it says." The emperor held up three fingers. "Three times, three times I thought we were going to die in those famous crises, but somehow I was transported back to before the danger occurred, and then I avoided it."
"Is that so?" The Empress frowned at the other person. "Why didn't you say so?"
"I don't remember." The emperor shook his head. "It must have been when the King of Qin used the power of the Thousand-Faced Fox to alter our memories during the Heavenly Moon Plan."
"Is that so?" The Empress nodded. In fact, they had long suspected it. When the King of Qin used the divine artifact to amplify the power of the Thousand-Faced Fox, it not only expanded the range, but it was also likely that some of them were affected by the memories at the time. Later, Mr. Origami also said that such temporary amplification of memories should be very unstable. Otherwise, the King of Qin could have directly used this method to make all the noble families submit, and there would have been no betrayal later.
When the demon was sealed, many powerful families had already secretly sided with the Xiao Household, preparing to betray the King of Qin. If the King of Qin had amplified the power of the Thousand-Faced Fox to alter everyone's memories, nothing would have happened.
The most likely scenario is that even though the Thousand-Faced Fox's power was amplified under the influence of the artifact, it still only had the ability to alter memories, but not to probe them. In other words, the Thousand-Faced Fox at that time still could not know their memories.
Therefore, one cannot make changes at will, otherwise it is easy to arouse suspicion.
The changes were all based on intelligence known to the King of Qin, including the miraculous power the Emperor had just mentioned.
"At the time, I always thought that the force that brought us back to where we started belonged to the King of Qin of Qin, but now it seems King of Qin wasn't. It was actually Ziyue's, and thankfully it was hers."
Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately understood the situation and felt a sense of relief. At that time, the King of King of Qin was at the height of Xiao Household power, and if the assassination had gone wrong even slightly, the Xiao family would have died. If this strange power belonged to the King of Qin, the Xiao Household to die. Because of the memory alteration, her younger brother had completely forgotten about that incident and was completely unprepared.
"What exactly is this force? Returning to the starting point?"
"I don't know, but I have some guesses." The Emperor said solemnly, "After that incident, Ziyue's health seemed to deteriorate significantly, and her memories became fragmented. It must be a forbidden technique that cannot be used lightly. Perhaps... it's related to..."
--
What exactly were the methods used?
Having lived through a Samsara, Quefeng was completely bewildered by the situation before her. Could this be the fourth version of the secret technique?
"How long will you take to think, senior?" Ziyue replied with her usual gentle smile, "Time waits for no one."
"Time."
This word suddenly reminded Quefeng of something, and without hesitation, he sprang into action again. He only had one breath left, and every bit of strength was precious, but he knew that this time he had to make a move, otherwise he wouldn't even understand what was going on.
The movement still felt fluid, as did the internal energy. Wait!
The Quefeng suddenly sensed something and an idea formed in her mind.
Could this ability be...?
While he was still wondering, the speed of King Level general had already allowed him to reach a certain commander once again. Just like last time, he once again slashed at the commander's carotid artery.
The places where Ancient Demon parasitize vary, and no one can predict what their vital points are. However, the enemy's Four Saints Army are modeled after humans. Cutting off their heads, even if not fatal, can render them incapacitated.
But the strange thing happened again, exactly the same as last time. Just as the dagger was about to touch the blood vessel in the other person's neck, the scene in front of him changed again, and he was back in the previous situation.
"Senior, aren't you going to make a move?"
The same words, the same tone, even the same expression!
The Quefeng stared coldly at his opponent. He realized that his dagger was still at his waist. His opponent had not only brought him back here, but had also controlled his movements.
But if the other person can control their own body, why not just kill themselves?
There is only one answer.
"The time is right, right?"
The Quefeng gazed at the other party with a chilling look. "Your strange magic ability is time manipulation!"
"Oh?" Ziyue wasn't surprised at all, and immediately smiled, "Senior noticed it, but I wonder how many times it took you to notice?"
Is that really true?
Is the new version really this insane?
He was a hardcore gamer who had studied the Demon Game's mechanics long ago, so when the Federation recruited heroes to explore the New World, he chose this world without hesitation.
He had discussed the content of the fourth version countless times with his former companions. They believed that the third version already involved the power of laws, and the fourth version might even involve something more perverse. Perhaps after space, time would also become one of the abilities of a certain force.
This idea was proposed by King Chujiang. At the time, I thought it was unlikely. I could barely talk about space, but time would be too shameless, wouldn't it?
Who could defeat someone who could manipulate time?
For example, even if you possessed a thousand abilities, how would you deal with a time-stopping ability?
He thought it was impossible, but it turned out that King Chujiang was right; there really was a way to manipulate time!
Is this some kind of living hell?
However, after a brief outburst, the Quefeng quickly calmed down.
Because he could see that this time-manipulation technique had weaknesses.
Firstly, the most terrifying situation did not occur because the opponent could not stop time. Otherwise, if the opponent had stopped time, even if they could not kill me, they could have moved me to another place, such as in front of Kagura, where I would have no chance of survival.
Secondly, he could clearly feel that the opponent's time reversal could not harm him. He had assassinated two generals of the imperial court, which should have taken a toll on him, since he only had one breath left. However, after returning here, he could clearly feel that the breath in his body was still in the same state as before.
In other words, after rewinding time, one's physical fitness will also be restored.
Thirdly, regarding the scope, the surrounding situation did not Samsara their time Samsara, indicating that the opponent's power of time magic only locked onto him personally—no, it should be limited to himself alone.
The last weakness is that the opponent's ability targets not only herself, but also her!
And the biggest weakness is that after time rewinds, you retain your memories while the other person doesn't!
