"I accidentally got a bit late; the female doctor here is really enthusiastic..."

In the afternoon,

Zhong Shenxiu stepped out of the medical department and comfortably stretched.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he'd caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure darting around the corner.

'Hehe...'

'That inspector named Chason?'

'A self-proclaimed justiciar who in reality uses his power to crazily obstruct Demon Hunters, a psychologically twisted man?'

In the post-apocalyptic world, it was all too normal for the immense pressure to drive several people insane.

Originally, Zhong Shenxiu couldn't be bothered to interfere.

But when they delivered themselves to his doorstep, he stepped on them.

His eyes became slightly profound, and then, as if nothing had happened at all, he returned to the Scavenger Team.

Now, in the team, that Morey Pavilion piqued his interest even more.

Not far away, Chason suddenly felt a chill down his spine, only to see Li Wei walk away without looking back.

"Monster! I will definitely catch your flaw!"

He swore through clenched teeth, completely unaware that his dreams had been 'marked'.

...

Morey Pavilion stood atop a pile of ruins.

His face, weathered and scarred, held a steam and science-fiction styled steel saber in hand.

"Captain, foodie... Phoenix, Black Bear... dead... they're all dead..."

He muttered to himself as he charged toward a monster opposite him with nine heads, and a body as huge as a hill.

At that moment, he was indeed an Upper God Calamity Level Demon Hunter!

"Come on... come on... twelve God-level Monsters, Earth Calamity, Black Fog King, Parasitic Spirit... I will kill you, annihilate you all."

He reached the monster, and with each drop of his saber, copious amounts of blood flew.

Eventually, the nine-headed monster fell to his blade.

He knelt on a pile of carcasses, resting on his saber, panting...

"I..."

Morey Pavilion suddenly looked up and saw the shattered sky and countless meteors falling like fiery rain.

That was the prelude to the world's destruction!

...

"Ah!"

Morey Pavilion awoke with a start, wiping off the cold sweat, and murmured with a sigh, "Another nightmare..."

Ever since his rebirth, these haunting events still plagued him with night terrors, unable to shake them from his memory.

"This time, I must prevent everything!"

"As long as Sky City doesn't fall, as long as the twelve Upper God Calamities aren't assembled to give birth to the most terrifying 'King of Nightmares,' perhaps the apocalypse won't come..."

The youth murmured to himself, not noticing a transparent figure slowly moving away from his side.

...

"A reborn one? This world is truly fascinating... Is the future destined for destruction?"

Zhong Shenxiu stepped out of the young man's residence, pondering the information he had gleaned from the other's dreams.

Possessing the power of a faceless spirit to peer into others' private memories within dreams was an all-too-simple task.

This reborn individual, who thought he had kept his secret tightly sealed, had so easily exposed it right under Zhong Shenxiu's watchful eye, yet was utterly unaware.

"Whether he is actually reborn is another matter; according to Morey Pavilion's memory, this world will be destroyed in less than four years?"

"And the reason... he isn't too clear on that either. It can only be attributed to the birth of a God-level Monster, haha... Surely, in the previous life, he was just an ant, not even knowing why he died..."

Zhong Shenxiu was well aware of the strength of God-level Monsters, that even the most powerful and terrifying couldn't possess the force to destroy the world.

"Why, after God-level Monsters devour each other, when the 'King of Nightmares' is born, does the world end?"

"In Morey Pavilion's memory, such monsters are extremely rare in this world and can also be called 'Divine Sons,' possessing power as formidable and twisted as the progeny of deities. The key, however, is that they possess 'Divinity'... this aligns with my previous speculations, that there is an entity that has dispersed its power among all creatures of this world, with the strongest bearers of divinity being the God-level Monsters!"

"Monsters also kill and devour each other, perhaps stemming from the intrinsic desire to supplement this particular trait and strength? And when eventually, God-level Monsters consume one another to give rise to the pinnacle, an Upper God Calamity Level Monster—'King of Nightmares,' the world is destroyed? This doesn't seem reasonable... or rather, the 'King of Nightmares' satisfied some condition or served as a vessel for world destruction..."

"My memory has been sealed; I have forgotten many important things. But I haven't forgotten the basics about True Gods, I can guess a bit."

"The crucial point follows; the apocalypse comes, Morey Pavilion dies, and then he is reborn, returning to his self four years prior."

This kind of Divine Skill, Zhong Shenxiu had seen something similar before, namely the Twelve Yuan Chen Universe Divine Light!

Of course, even with the arrival of a decomposing immortal from the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect, such power was not possible!

Toying with a world's timeline, moving it back four years, would be utterly beyond the capacity of a decomposing immortal.

"So... a True God then? Is the gap between a True God and a decomposing immortal really so vast?"

Zhong Shenxiu pondered, "That destroyed timeline, was it the arrangement of some other being, and it clearly went against the wishes of this True God, hence the temporal reversal, starting anew... Isn't that a bit too cheeky? A True God with the appropriate authority over time, if able to reverse the world, wouldn't that be almost invincible? To negate any development line, preserving only the outcome most favorable to oneself?"

"Umm... from Morey Pavilion's memory, I cannot determine whether the reversal was only for this one world and not the Three Thousand Worlds, but it's particularly frightening nonetheless."

"Does such a being still need to perform these maneuvers? Why not just squash their opponent outright? Unless there are some limits to Them? Unable to act at will?"

"No, don't just think about rebirth, the possibility of reversing the world... It's also possible that Morey Pavilion experienced a serendipitous event, entered a fantasy realm, and lived through a life as real as any, or perhaps... someone has divined his fate for the next four years! And then made him believe it all truly happened."

"Thinking about it this way, although the ability to divine four years of world development is terrifying, it's just an extrapolation of one possibility, which is much easier to accept..."

Zhong Shenxiu returned to his own room, sat cross-legged, and rubbed his brow, "The realm of time and fate... haha..."

"What is so special about Morey Pavilion to merit the attention of such a grand being? Hmm, does he have the destiny of the main character? Is he a qualified executor? Or rather... a suitable candidate? Not everyone can be reborn or have their future divined."

"Besides that, he met me!"

"Indeed, some of my previous guesses were not wrong, the baton has finally been passed onto me? I seem to hear the starting chime of the main quest..."

He muttered a complaint to himself.

"In summary, even if I know the future world will be destroyed, my plans don't change much. It's all about enhancing myself as fast as possible, using the correct ritual to seize the power of the God-level Monsters, to obtain... um, so-called 'Divinity'?"
