God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls! Chapter 1385 405: The Anti-Butterfly Effect

"滴滴...嗒嗒..."

As the invisible ticking of a clock traversed the surface of the world, Yan Huan's consciousness flickered between light and dark in an instant.

Just a second passed, and the reality where Ye Shiyu still stood faded like an oil painting, finally transforming into another scene.

Before him was a cramped, sealed rental room.

There was no odor in the room, but the visible windows and door gaps were sealed with paper strips, making the space exceedingly dim.

Yan Huan blinked and, as he slightly moved, realized that his hand was still gripping a knife.

He seed to be...

Guarding against sothing.

And in front of him was a phone placed on the table.

"..."

Yan Huan stared blankly at the narrow room, clearly feeling the difference from reality.

The only similarity was that the ti had reached 4:45.

He had already entered the if line.

"ow~"

On his shoulder, a black shadow gradually solidified, opening a pair of erald-like feline eyes.

"ow..."

"ow, in this if line, you look a bit chubby ow!"

"..."

Yan Huan touched his chin, indeed feeling a bit of soft flesh.

Furthermore, he felt so stiff stubble, as if it hadn't been shaved for a while.

Which if line had he traveled to?

Yan Huan was a bit curious and picked up the phone.

Inside, a reflection of his haggard appearance with heavy dark circles and a face full of stubble appeared.

Hmm?

And soon after, the phone unlocked to reveal an array of ssages from Hitomi Sakuragi.

"Honey, let explain..."

"I didn't an to spy on you..."

"I just wanted to see what you were doing... things have only gotten serious recently..."

"I was worried about you interacting with other girls, so..."

"Especially recently, with you and other girls again... I've been anxious at ho..."

"Please reply, honey, I was wrong..."

"I won't spy on you anymore, really, I swear..."

"Honey, tell , where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"..."

The last ssage was sent seven days ago.

Looking at the ssages, Yan Huan quickly flipped the phone over, taking a deep breath.

He seed to know which if line this was.

Fortunately, he was still in a safe place and only needed to stay there for a day.

"Phew..."

He took a deep breath and looked at ow beside him.

"Okay, from now on, you must listen carefully to every word I say, ow!"

ow wagged its tail and got straight to the point,

"First, rember well that when you directly 'replace' your own situation in any scene like this, it ans you are in an if line, ow!"

Yan Huan nodded. ow's statent indicated the importance was in the latter part,

"So if I travel to a real tiline, I won't replace anything, right?"

ow nodded seriously and continued,

"Exactly, ow! Things in the if line are all illusions, becoming real only briefly because of your presence...

"But the real tiline is different. You've truly traveled to a ti period that has actually occurred, encountering events and people that have already happened...

"Including yourself!"

Hearing this, Yan Huan rubbed his chin in thought, feeling a headache coming on.

He had watched many sci-fi movies, and when sothing like this occurred, famous dilemmas like the 'Grandmother Paradox' would arise.

"...It's best not to et my past self anyway, since the goal this ti is related to Bai Yi, right?"

To reduce complications, Yan Huan decided so.

ow nodded and said,

"Very good, ow! You have already developed a basic 'ti-travel safety awareness', ow!"

"Ti-travel safety awareness..."

"Wait a mont, ow..."

As it said this, ow stood on its hind legs and used its front paws to search its belly.

Soon after, like Doraemon, it pulled out a golden gear-shaped ring.

"Put this on, Yan Huan!"

"What is this thing?"

Taking the ring, Yan Huan asked.

And ow resud its four-legged stance and passionately explained to Yan Huan,

"This is a tool to observe world lines, ow. With it, you can not only choose the ti period to travel to but also check the stability of the world line..."

Stability?

"Yan Huan, you must rember, ow, changing a world line is like replacing components in a pre-built set of blocks.

"Contrary to the general impression of the 'butterfly effect,' the logic of world line operation is an 'anti-butterfly effect.' It will go to great lengths to maintain system stability.

"Completely changing predetermined events is challenging, requiring repeated attempts at various tis to correct them gradually.

"anwhile, the more things you change, the more resistance you will face from the world line.

"However, I don't know the exact form of the resistance and you'll have to study it on your own."

ow looked solemnly at Yan Huan while gazing at the golden ring,

"If you act too hastily and change too many variables at one ti, it can cause a system collapse... leading to the annihilation of the world line."

Annihilation?

"What would happen then?"

"It would be complete destruction, ow! That would be worse than having the modifier descend, ow!"

"..."

That's quite severe.

"But the problem is... I only have two Universal Keys. Using one to travel to the if line and another to travel to the past... without a permanent solution, how do I make changes?"
