Yama Reborn

Chapter 649 646: You Really Did Have a Good Daughter!

"So, you're saying you come from a few years in the future?

You reversed time and returned to now, 1999?

In that future era, you're a human Controller, a comrade fighting alongside me? Together we fought against the Mother Clone, the Octopus Monster, and other Seeds?"

The Son of the Sun stared wide-eyed at Chen Nuo in front of him.

The two stood by a car, while Vanel had already been sent away by the old man, waiting alone far off.

After taking a few minutes for a simple explanation, Chen Nuo left the Son of the Sun's mind reeling with shock, glaring at this guy in front of him...

The first reaction was: Motherf**king biscuits, is this bastard trying to deceive me?

But...

As a Controller, the powerful Spiritual Sensing Ability was fully scanning Chen Nuo in front of him, every tiny change of the body!

Heartbeat, breathing changes, even blood flow, even the questions, every muscle tension or relaxation, pupil changes... everything!

Everything was under the Son of the Sun's control!

The Son of the Sun was 99% sure: This guy wasn't lying!

If this guy could spin such a wild lie and still manage to control every tiny change in his body while lying without any flaw...

Either, this guy's power must surpass my own, using even stronger abilities to shield or fake an illusion to deceive my scan.

But this guy is obviously just an ordinary person!

Or...

He's the greatest lying genius in human history!!

But that's simply impossible!

Ordinary people can't resist their body's instincts! No matter how composed they are, no matter how good they are at disguising, they can resist some instincts.

But there are always instincts they can't fight against!

For instance, the frequency of the heartbeat, the speed of blood flow, subtle changes in the pupils...

So...

Is what he says true?

Time reversal?

Motherf**ker!

Time Ability?!!

As part of the elite group standing at the pinnacle of human strength, the Son of the Sun naturally understood some of the abilities that strong humans fantasized and aspired to.

Space, and, Time!

These two abilities, no human Ability User can currently possess.

But... how does this guy explain?

"Simply put, a few years later, we formed a team in Africa to combat a Mother Clone.

After a fierce battle, the Octopus Monster died—not exactly at our hands.

But when we were dealing with the Mother Clone, in the end, I couldn't win, so I used the Time Ability, holding him as we jumped into the timeline...

Then, we returned to now, back to 1999.

And because of the time reversal, this ability may have some side effects, causing some harm to both me and the Mother Clone during the reversal, turning us into ordinary people, unable to use any abilities, and then..."

Chen Nuo swiftly explained until he spoke of his current situation, finally looking at the Son of the Sun, closing his mouth, and waiting for the old man's reaction.

The old man's response was equally direct:

"F**k!"

Chen Nuo didn't seem anxious, waiting for the old man to finish cursing before slowly saying: "Finished venting? If so, let's talk about the important stuff."

"..." The old man looked at Chen Nuo with a complicated gaze, swallowing a gulp: "I kind of believe now that we must be quite familiar in the future.

Because your tone speaking to me is very casual."

Chen Nuo smiled, patting the Son of the Sun's shoulder: "Trust me, our relationship is better than you think, we're really close! A bond forged through life and death, more than once."

The Son of the Sun rubbed his face vigorously, helplessly said, "Alright, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Find that escaped Mother Clone and kill him!", Chen Nuo's eyes turned cold: "Though I don't know what he's planning, I feel strongly that leaving him in this era is very dangerous."

The Son of the Sun reacted loudly, yelling: "You think!! That's a Mother Clone!! Even if hurt by time reversal, temporarily lost its ability...

But who knows when it'll recover!

That's a Mother Clone!!"

Chen Nuo spread his hands: "So, we must find him.

Also, I always feel my ability not restoring is related to him! The key to recovering my ability might be with him.

Maybe finding him will uncover the way to regain my ability and return to my era."

The Son of the Sun frowned: "Actually... even if you didn't leave... staying here, it's not long until a few years later, just a few more years..."

Chen Nuo shook his head: "In this era, there should still be another me. I can't possibly steal my own life, right? Opportunities, friends, relatives, lovers... I can't fight this era's me for them. Besides, I can't abandon my relatives and loved ones from my era."

Wait!

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

This kid just said "lovers"?

Lovers?

F**k!

This guy's a playboy too!

By now, the Son of the Sun had about 90% accepted Chen Nuo's story about time reversal.

The old man hesitated for a moment: "Since that's the case, I have something to tell you too."

"What?"

"Didn't you call me a few days ago? After I got the call, I rushed to that small village to find you.

But... on my way, someone tried to stop me.

Hmm, that person... very strange."

Hmm?

Chen Nuo's heart skipped a beat: "Tell me more?"

The old man took two minutes to recount his encounter a few days ago, how he got intercepted and shot down a plane, the mysterious figure that made him feel a lethal threat... explaining everything from beginning to end.

Chen Nuo squinted his eyes: "So you're saying, he also told you about Corot's whereabouts, something about Antarctica..."

It's Zero!

It must be Zero!!

Chen Nuo immediately judged!

Looking at it this way...

Zero knows that I've arrived in this era!

Zero even knows I've asked the Son of the Sun for help!

Then Zero intercepted the Son of the Sun mid-way...

Why?

And...

Back then, the message Zero left...

He said so!

After the African incident, I'll see Zero again!!

So...

Everything is in this guy's plan?!

All of a sudden, Chen Nuo felt his whole body's hair stand on end! He instinctively looked around...

At this moment, it was morning, the sun scorching, the air clear, visibility extremely high... a vast highland slope surrounded the base...

Although nothing was seen, Chen Nuo instinctively felt his heart start racing! As if realizing something was about to happen!

And at this moment...

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from a distance.

A white flare shot up from a distant highland slope, like a shooting star, rising into the sky!

"Is that... a signal flare?" Chen Nuo muttered under his breath.

The Son of the Sun also frowned, looking in that direction.

"It's a signal flare." Chen Nuo's spirit was lifted, grabbing the Son of the Sun: "Take me there! Quick, now!!"

The Son of the Sun raised an eyebrow, finally nodded, and grabbed Chen Nuo's shoulder. The two leaped into the air...

·

On the slope, Zero gently tossed the signal gun aside, then turned to the Mother Clone, smiling: "Sorry, Mother, I'll need you to stay quiet for a while... I think it's in your best interest."

Saying that, he stepped forward, gently waved his hand, and the Mother Clone sighed, slowly closing its eyes and fainting.

Zero thought for a moment, pulled a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, and locked the Mother Clone's wrists.

As soon as he finished, turned around, the Son of the Sun descended with Chen Nuo, landing on the slope, less than ten steps away from him.

Zero squinted at the Son of the Sun and Chen Nuo, sighing lightly.

"Son of the Sun, clearly, you're not one to heed warnings. I told you not to get involved here, yet you still came."

The old man frowned at Zero: "I don't know you... but you're..."

"It's me, the one who shot down your plane a few days ago and warned you.", Zero spread his hands: "As for my current appearance, well, those unimportant details, you needn't ask further.

I just want to tell you, you almost ruined my plan—fortunately I was prepared for you."

"How could I ruin your plan? I... I don't even know you..."

The Son of the Sun looked at Zero cautiously, trying to discern—actually, he instinctively wanted to turn around and flee.

But being stared at by Zero, the old man felt a chill running from the back of his head all the way down to his heels.

It's a kind of instinct when facing a natural enemy one absolutely can't compete with!

Zero shook his head, waving to the Son of the Sun: "No time to waste words with you. Now, Chen Nuo will stay here, you can leave.

By the way, there's a little girl named Sally with Chen Nuo in the base. Go back, take her away, take good care of her, and bring her to a safe place, arrange things well."

The Son of the Sun hadn't reacted, but Chen Nuo's heart skipped a beat first.

Sally?

Zero knows about Sally too...

Well, it's not surprising to know.

But, he seems to care about Sally?

The Son of the Sun took a deep breath: "How... should I arrange it?"

"Think carefully, don't be sloppy. Find a good family to adopt her or something..." Zero seemed a bit impatient, waving his hand: "Now, you can go."

The Son of the Sun was quite loyal, he didn't speak, but looked at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo thought for a moment, then said, "Gomez, you should go. I'll stay here and talk to this guy, it's all right."

After a pause, Chen Nuo also added, "That little girl named Sally is my friend, so... I'm counting on you."

The Son of the Sun shrugged, took a deep look at the two of them, and finally turned around and jumped down the hill.

After the Son of the Sun left, Zero softly let out a sigh.

Chen Nuo's heart stirred because he seemed to feel that with Zero's sigh, the kind of calm, unfathomable aura he had... was suddenly broken!

Although the person was still the same, just standing in front.

However, on this person, he couldn't hide the feeling of exhaustion, powerlessness, and even weakness!

"You seem... very weak?" Chen Nuo tentatively asked.

Unexpectedly, Zero slowly sat down on the ground, looked up smiling at Chen Nuo: "You are right, Chen Nuo.

I'm not just weak.

The truth is... I'm about to die."

Chen Nuo's eye twitched: "You're about to die? How long do you have?"

Zero rolled his eyes: "To be precise, if you don't hurry, I might die in front of you before I finish leaving my last words."

Chen Nuo thought for a moment, then said, "But... you won't really die. You can live eternally within your [lifespan time segment], which means, even if you die this second, you will return to the time segment before this second, living forever in that time segment!"

Zero nodded: "You're right, but... you'll never see me again. Because if I die this second, next, I can only reverse time and go back to the past—even if it's the previous second.

But you're still in this second, and you will only continue to the next second, the next minute, the next hour... continuing like this.

Once I die, you'll never see me again, unless you also reverse time."

Chen Nuo pondered for a moment: "Well, let's talk about it one thing at a time. Years later, I got a message fragment of memory you left from the Octopus Monster."

Zero nodded: "I did that."

"You told me to cooperate with the Octopus Monster, and then soon I would see you again.

So, at this moment, here, my return to 1999, all this was within your plan, right?"

Zero nodded: "Yes, what you said is right."

"Why?" Chen Nuo asked directly: "Why do you want to see me, why set this up?"

Zero chuckled: "Because I'm about to die."

Chen Nuo shook his head: "I don't understand."

Zero took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, then lightly said: "Or let me put it another way, what I mean is, I want to truly die, to truly end all this. Rather than, I die this second, and the next second, return to any moment in the past, alive and well, continuing to live eternally in a bygone era."

Chen Nuo listened seriously, and seriously thought for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his face carried a mocking cold smile: "Still the same sentence—I don't understand!

Why is that? You did so much preparation, including calculating so many things about me.

That annoying curse, wishing me an everlasting bath in love?

You calculated me, calculated Lu Xixi, calculated Sun Keke, and also calculated Yun Yin...

You calculated so many, set up such a big trap for me, just to make me forever trapped in this relationship, unable to extricate myself.

Then I would forever be unwilling to move to the end to evolve into the four-dimensional...

You could preserve the opportunity, find a way...

Isn't this what you've been seeking all along?

Why, now, do you want to die?"

Chen Nuo's tone carried a trace of absurdity, a trace of questioning.

Zero's expression was very calm, not answering Chen Nuo's question, instead raising a counter-question:

"Chen Nuo, when was the last time we met?"

Chen Nuo was taken aback and blurted out, "The last time I traveled through time, back to the London of the 80s! That time you plotted against me, plotted against Yun Yin, took over Yun Yin's body, and transformed into Lu Xixi, then..."

Zero coldly said, "Chen Nuo, your greatest secret... none of the other Seeds know. The Octopus Monster doesn't know, the cat doesn't know, The Fourth Seed doesn't know…

Even Seed, who shares the dimension of life with you, doesn't know!

But your greatest secret, I know!

It is... damn it, you actually once became Four-Dimensional! Yet you gave it up and returned to Three-Dimensional!

But having already become Four-Dimensional Life, your life, in countless time, countless parallel times... has become unique!

Which means, no matter how many parallel worlds, parallel spaces, parallel timelines there are, even if there are countless!

But in all timelines, all parallel spaces, there is only one of you! One Chen Nuo!

This is the uniqueness of Four-Dimensional Life: Unique!

Even if you return from Four-Dimensional to Three-Dimensional, this uniqueness still remains!

So, none of the other Seeds know, but I know!

Because I have the Time Ability, I can wander in all timelines!

But in all timelines, all parallel worlds, there is just one Chen Nuo like you!"

Chen Nuo was silent, seriously digesting Zero's words.

Zero slowly said, "Just like the Son of the Sun... the current Son of the Sun in 1999, and the Son of the Sun you met last time in the London of the 80s, and even the Son of the Sun from your own era in a few years, are actually not the same person, they are three different timelines, different parallel spaces, three different Sons of the Sun!

But... in these three spaces, you are the same person!

I speak like this, can you understand?

You are unique!"

"I understand." Chen Nuo nodded, but he immediately asked, "What about you? Are you also unique? The you I saw in the London of the 80s and the you in front of me in 1999, are they the same?"

Zero sighed, "Yes, they are the same, so from this perspective, I also have uniqueness. I am the closest existence to you.

But unfortunately, my uniqueness is [Pseudo-Unique]."

After a pause, he added, "My uniqueness can only be shown within the duration of my existence.

You can one day travel to the future.

But I can never travel to an era I have not lived in! Because I am not truly Four-Dimensional, not truly unique."

Zero continued explaining, "But, even though I am [Pseudo-Unique], even though I am only unique in [a limited timeframe], within a limited timeframe, I am still able to see your essential secret.

Chen Nuo, you are unique because you once reached Four-Dimensional.

I originally had enough patience to keep up with you.

Although I temporarily don't see any hope of victory, with this method, I can also ensure you don't win.

As long as you don't win, then I retain hope.

Originally, all my arrangements were based on this thought process."

Chen Nuo frowned, "Then... what caused your current thoughts to change?"

Zero's tone suddenly became strange.

He sighed, seemingly a bit unwilling, a bit despairing, and filled with sheer helplessness.

"Because an unforeseen factor has emerged, and this factor I cannot influence... because the time point of my life is about to end.

And the occurrence of this factor is after the time of my death.

What an utter irony is that, at its root, this matter was actually caused by me single-handedly!

This unforeseen factor did not appear in your previous 16 rebirths!

Yet in this, the seventeenth, it has appeared! And I am helpless against it.

Moreover, the emergence of this factor directly led me to complete failure!

Let me say it again! This unforeseen factor was actually created by me personally."

Chen Nuo's curiosity was ignited!

He couldn't help but ask, "What is the unforeseen factor you mentioned?"

Zero closed his eyes, mumbling as if he were cursing something.

Finally, he sighed, "Chen Nuo... you damn... really have a good daughter!"

Chen Nuo was stunned.

My daughter?

Chen Yiyi?

[The weather suddenly turned colder, I got a slight cold, headache, but unexpectedly, amidst the torment of this headache, I actually had a flash of inspiration, came up with an excellent idea, which is incredible.

Life truly is unpredictable.]
