Chapter 164's plotline reappears
People often say: If only I could go back to that time, I wouldn't have done this or that...
There will always be many times when you regret your choices, and regret taking a seemingly generous path.
Whether this road is thriving or not, who knows? Perhaps in the minds of those who have never traveled this road, it is a broad and prosperous avenue.
"Hey, Shen Xi, long time no see?"
A slightly youthful, mechanical voice sounded in Shen Xi's ear, and Shen Xi's consciousness became hazy.
Who is speaking?
"Oh dear, I know you can't wake up right now. But you're such a pitiful heroine, you should be the female lead in a sweet romance novel, but you've ended up in this state, it's really pathetic!"
The mechanical male voice spoke with tears streaming down its face, and it even seemed to creak and groan a few times as if wiping away its own tears.
--Who are you?
"I am part of the world's storyline. I made a deal with you back then: if you could save the story, I would save Grandma Headmistress for you."
—How is Grandma, the headmistress, doing?
"She's doing just fine in another world. Seriously, heroine, you're practically committing fraud!!!"
The mechanical voice grew increasingly agitated, rising an octave. "I painstakingly used the energy you gained from correcting the plot to save your grandmother, and you...you actually...you actually turned around and destroyed my world!! My entire world is gone...gone!!!"
He howled with great sorrow, his voice carrying the strains of a horn that gave people headaches.
Shen Xi felt slightly apologetic, but she quickly realized that something was off about what she was saying.
"What... what do you mean the world is destroyed? Didn't I erase everyone else's memories by exchanging identities? What do you mean by destroyed? What about Jiang Ci? What about Jiang Du? How are they?"
Unexpectedly, the mechanical voice fell silent, replaced by a creaking sound, "My lady, that world has turned misfortune into blessing. Blessings may be the root of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of blessing. Who can know what the beginning of this world truly was? What is the beginning, and where is the end?"
Shen Xi's mind was working slowly; she was gradually processing what the mechanical voice had just said.
The storyline that existed within Shen Xi as a transaction didn't disappear; instead, it grew from an infant's voice to a young man's voice, indicating that the storyline had also matured.
It hasn't disappeared, it hasn't disappeared.
Shen Xi slowly pondered those words: beginning? end?
Suddenly, it dawned on her: Could it be that... this world was the original world all along, only the story hadn't progressed to the point where they met later?
Then it also fits: this is neither a head nor a tail.
This is simply... absurd.
"The plot has been corrected, but there are still minor bugs. Once the bugs are fixed, the male and female leads will automatically return to their original positions."
Seeing that Shen Xi remained silent, the mechanical voice assumed that she was automatically supporting her by remaining silent.
"But once the plotline is corrected and the two timelines are completely merged, you may soon return to that timeline, which is a continuation of this timeline. There's also something else: the fake heiress of the Shen family was dismembered and thrown into the sea in that timeline. The system attached to him, which was the thing that competed with me for energy, was also stripped away at the same time."
"The time and space are relatively safe, and the people you love are still here. But you shouldn't stay in this time and space for long. You will definitely return to the original timeline within five years."
"I wish the female lead a happy and fulfilling life, filled with the joys of family life."
