"Holy crap, it's the End of the World Qi Bao!"
Brownie suddenly raised his head and jumped back.
"From which timeline and point in time did you pull this from?"
[This is the standard timeline of the original world.]
The system gave a matter-of-fact answer in a timid and hesitant tone.
Normally, all character cards in the system will be positioned at a time point on Earth that is parallel to the Star Iron world, and the character's will will be shifted to perform the actions.
They should have brought over the big duck from the post-Collapse era during the Second Silverwing arc. To put it simply, it's the big duck that met Old Yang on the train.
The system's expert activated his skills at that time, causing a bug in the function that made the probe point to a past time point.
Strictly speaking, this issue isn't entirely a runtime error; rather, the function worked normally for a brief moment after the error occurred, and then reverted to the error state.
Anyone who had an old-fashioned black-and-white TV or antenna TV at home during their childhood knows that when the TV screen was displaying static, slapping it twice would bring up a picture of a person, but it would probably go back to static after two seconds.
The root cause of this problem was that the system functioned normally for just one second.
"You mean, this is the Kiana from the End who knows Old Yang?"
Brownie's expressions were quite interesting, constantly changing.
That's right.
The system's white-gloved cursor scratched the screen.
Upon hearing this, Brownie fell silent, crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and then asked a question:
"And then what? From which point onwards will we start calling in more players?"
[Uh, let me see. What we can confirm right now is that, except for the character cards from the post-collapse period, all characters will be recruited from their initial anchored time points. As for the character card 'Dong! Blazing Wish Star', that's still uncertain...]
"Unsure if it's okay."
Brownie was speechless for a moment, then after a few seconds of contemplation, she finally asked, "Won't having two different times make any difference?"
Don't worry, although they are at two different points in time, they are on the same timeline, so there's definitely nothing going on...
From the perspective of beings in higher dimensions, the world is like the river of time in fantasy novels, a long river that has flowed from the source of chaos, primordial chaos, and singularity, from ancient times to the present and into the future.
The little baby drinking beast milk in the Great Wilderness Village is Shi Hao, and the Emperor of the Eternal Wilderness is also Shi Hao.
"Go on, keep talking!"
The sudden system pause made Brownie panic.
[Ahem, don't panic. I'm just playing it safe. For now, there shouldn't be any issues, but if other runtime errors occur... well, that's hard to say. We'll have to adapt to the situation.]
"What the hell is this 'adaptability'?!"
Brownie lived in Bengbu.
Is this how the term "adaptability" is used?
This is a total rip-off!
A slight sense of irritation crept into my heart, carrying with it a touch of anxiety and a subtle, indescribable absurdity.
Anyway, let's vent first!
The master thief, the giant tongue whip, the swift draw of the gun, the wild growth, the deadly rhythm, the dragon's collision, the war's pulse, the outpouring of energy, and finally, the final curtain call.
Qiong unleashed several rapid combos!
At least I've vented my frustration.
[Huff... Can, could you... stop, please stop! Huff... Huff...]
Unable to control her body, yet able to fully accept all of her senses, Qi Bao was on the verge of collapse due to nerve spasms, experiencing a mental breakdown.
Bai Lian stopped twisting her slender, snake-like waist and collapsed to the side as if she had lost all her strength.
So, who exactly are you? And why are you inside my body?!
The frustration after venting his anger was sprinkled with hostility and vigilance on his disordered tone, and an angry question came rushing in.
Qi Bao, finally given a chance to catch her breath, burst into tears.
【I am Kiana Kasrena, yes, yes…】
Qi Bao immediately tried to explain, but even though she was already the Herrscher of the End, this was the first time she had experienced something like this. Her physiological reactions affected her consciousness, causing her thoughts to become chaotic, and she didn't know where to begin explaining.
She really didn't know how to explain it.
It's even impossible to determine whether the current situation is due to the loss of control over the powers of the Herrscher of the End.
She's been asleep for so long!
But on the other hand, if the problem wasn't caused by the loss of control over the power of the End, then what else could it be?
Is there any power in the world that even the Herrscher of the End cannot detect or respond to?
Qi Bao believes that the possibility is almost zero, which means...
It's most likely a matter of the power of the end!
"You say you are... Kiana Kaslana? Hmph, entering my true form at this time wasn't enough, you also want to impersonate me!"
Bai Lian fully expresses the desolation and anger of being bullied on her wedding night.
The most important thing in life is learning to pass the buck.
Why take the blame yourself when you can shift the blame to someone else and even make them feel guilty?
Put aside your personal conduct and enjoy life to the fullest!
No, no, no, listen to me, I really am Kiana Kaslana. Please listen to me first, it's like this...
Confirming from the words that the other person was her counterpart, Qi Bao's anger dissipated, replaced by guilt and embarrassment.
Even she would be angry if forced to go through something like this, but unfortunately she still couldn't use her powers, otherwise she would have forcibly controlled the other party long ago.
Sensing Qi Bao's emotional change, Bai Lian breathed a slight sigh of relief. The real face behind the mask also breathed a sigh of relief, and her emotions flickered with joy.
Thank goodness!
Qi Bao's growth over the past ten years has focused on her education, her ability to be a good wife, and her pre-existing protective armor. Her overall quality has improved by several levels, but her personality has become increasingly soft when she is not facing enemies.
[Explanation! What's there to explain!]
The appropriate display of anger and irrationality was used to express the girl's embarrassment and relentless nagging after being interrupted the first time, without actually interrupting Qibao's narration.
And as Qi Bao narrated her story in a flustered but still relatively coherent manner, the anger transmitted to her through the spiritual connection gradually diminished.
[Kiana from another world... a parallel universe counterpart... the Herrscher of the End... an accident caused by the loss of control over her powers?]
Bai Lian's feelings were quite complicated. After all, she was the one who explained the concepts of parallel worlds and counterparts to the other party in the past, but she never expected that things would turn out the other way around.
Qi Bao is so cute!
"I'm sorry, this whole incident is my fault, but since it has already happened, let's calm down and think of a solution."
Although she was forced to experience that kind of thing, she was ultimately in the wrong and even ruined the other person's first experience with their lover. Qi Bao pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, and still apologized first.
【…】
By inputting complex emotions such as entanglement, helplessness, and speechlessness into the mind connection, Bai Lianle was delighted.
I see. Maybe... it's not entirely your fault.
Although she wanted to enjoy life, Bai Lian obviously couldn't put all the blame on Qi Bao for the sake of their future relationship and for Daddy's sake.
What do you mean? Do you... know of any other possible causes for the current situation?
Feeling a pair of warm hands moving over her body, Qi Bao opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
After all, it was the other person's body, and it had been quite a struggle to get the conversation back on track, so it was best not to interrupt. Qi Bao suppressed her strange feelings.
Bai Lian remained silent for a moment, indicating that she was thinking and summarizing her thoughts, before speaking:
For reasons I don't fully understand, I may possess the ability to summon the consciousness of my counterparts in parallel worlds, but I cannot control it. I've never succeeded in trying before, but now, sensing it, the ability seems to be in a state of activation.
I think it's possible that your ultimate power triggered my abilities, which led to the unexpected incident.
[The ability to summon one's own consciousness from a parallel world?]
Qi Bao frowned.
Does he really possess such an ability?
For her, who was the Goddess of Earth, this ability was not difficult to understand, but it was somewhat novel and puzzling.
The question is whether this ability is so powerful that it could sever the connection between oneself and the Cocoon of the End.
She doesn't believe it was 'another self' that actively used to summon her. Who would draw another consciousness into their body while doing 'that' with their lover?
Since you are another version of me, and I also bear some responsibility for this, then... never mind.
Bai Lian generously stated that she would not pursue the matter of you occupying her body, like the grievance and loss of selling a luxury item with a purchase price of 10 yuan and a mark of 10000 yuan for 100 yuan.
Oh, okay... thank you for understanding.
Qi Bao hesitated for a few seconds before speaking hesitantly.
【Do you have a way to end the current state?】×2.
The two asked each other the same question, and then fell silent at the same time.
【Sorry, I can't do that.】×2.
A unanimous response followed by silence.
I can no longer sense the power of the End.
I still can't fully master that ability.
The two then gave their reasons, followed by another period of complete silence.
【Oh no! What should we do?!】
Qi Bao was going crazy; her hands were in a really... Don't move!!!
"Excuse me, could you ask your partner to stop for a moment?"
Qi Bao asked cautiously.
You...you don't want me to feel his... either, do you?
As she spoke, Qi Bao suddenly felt that the sentence structure was a bit strange, as if she had seen similar dialogue in a comic about Mei's hometown.
Am I now a thug who bullies men and women?
My tooth hurts!
【…】
What a clever move, Jidong Qibao! Did she learn it from Mei?
Do you know what happened before you entered my body?
Qi Bao could sense the other person's inner conflict.
【what happened?】
[You don't know, so can you please be quiet? I can pretend you don't exist, and we can talk about it in detail tomorrow?]
Upon hearing this, Qi Bao's heart skipped a beat. Did this mean they wanted to continue?
No, no, no!
[Ahem, let's forget about that. The situation is extremely urgent; we need to find a way to disconnect as soon as possible.]
Qi Bao immediately forced her consciousness to ignore the restless, burning sensation and said solemnly.
Bai Lian chuckled.
Sure enough, Xun-ge is still Xun-ge.
It's not just that Chinese people are generally inclined to be harmonious; it's a human trait.
