Chapter 262: Chapter 157: The World Revisited on a Page of a Flat Boat

Gu Shanhai fiddled with the pages of the Time History Book for a while, but he didn’t gain much, except for the ability to change his identity and the option to use consciousness rebirth to affect the timeline.

This seemed a bit like a chicken rib, after all, conscious rebirth was only a one-time opportunity, and it was of little use to Gu Shanhai. Even if he was reborn to his childhood, the start wouldn’t possibly be better than now.

As for the idea of going back to grab the page of the Time History Book again and continue exploiting it, that was out of the question. He was certain that this page of the Time History Book was a unique item. If he took it away, it wouldn’t be there when he came back.

Items related to time generally possess uniqueness; there is only one such item in the entire river of time, no matter in which space-time it exists, unless another one is created, otherwise, it will only be bound by the strongest causal connection.

Currently, it was bound to Gu Shanhai’s hand.

"For my own use, it really doesn’t bring out the greatest benefit."

"And it’s unlikely that this thing was meant for me..."

Gu Shanhai glanced subtly at Huang Yanshan, who was perusing "Huangji Jingshi," suspecting that he had become the Treasure Delivery Boy again.

If Huang Yanshan were to be reborn and take along the "Purple Profound Thunder Skill" and "Huangji Jingshi," and develop for ten years before making a move, he could indeed explode Dugu Tiansheng.

But Gu Shanhai couldn’t bear to part with it; it was just too precious. Rebirth could completely serve as a lifesaving trump card. If he encountered something insurmountable, he could totally have a do-over like a hero.

So he hesitated, to give or not to give.

This matter kept swaying in his heart. Reason told him not to give was best, while intuition kept throbbing.

"I need a reason to convince myself!"

Gu Shanhai’s words were not for concealment, but a warning to his own intuition, which in itself was mysterious and, while useful, easily obscured by all kinds of oddities.

"Destiny?!" Gu Shanhai instantly felt dejected; that moment, he had not only used his intuition but also his divination and prophecy abilities.

Intuition, sixth sense, and the like don’t listen to reason; they are simply a body’s reaction, so only Gu Shanhai himself could investigate.

And what he got was the word "destiny."

"I refuse to believe it, what kind of destiny could make me willingly hand over this thing!" Gu Shanhai was defiant.

Giving it to Huang Yanshan, of course, presented no problem except for the annoying part of not wanting to let it go.

He didn’t want to bet on whether Huang Yanshan, after being reborn, would return the page of the Time History Book to him because if he really went back and cultivated the "Purple Profound Thunder Skill" for sixty years, he might reach the realm where he could manipulate magnetic fields through fifty strata and counteract gravity. By then, possessing the power to cross the universe with his bodily form and recombine cells..., he wouldn’t stand a chance.

He might not even be able to run away.

Even Atilis might not be able to win, probably only He Lingyun, the man-god with abilities like having an alter ego, seeing past and future, and always scoring 100% on exams, could secure a win. Everyone else would just be waiting to die.

And if it reaches the even more outrageous realm of manipulating magnetic fields through seventy-five strata and achieving atomic fission, he might as well have become a madman—with antimatter and matter recombination likely at his fingertips.

Never underestimate a nerd who could control electromagnetic forces.

So if he really gave it to the other party, he might get tricked.

"Big nephew, if you were to be reborn, what would you do?" Gu Shanhai probed.

Huang Yanshan, who was next to him, was taken aback, then said, "Why would I go back? Uncle, it’s you who should be going back."

Huang Yanshan’s idea was for Gu Shanhai to be reborn and then be punching Martial Ancestors and kicking True Immortals. In his opinion, whether in terms of talent or comprehension, Gu Shanhai was far superior to him. Otherwise, how could he create such a profound Cultivation Technique?

"I’m asking you, not for you to question me back." Gu Shanhai was exasperated.

"Oh, if I went back, then I’d just go with the original plan of punching Martial Ancestors and kicking True Immortals," mused Huang Yanshan, thinking that whoever went back would go through the same process.

"..." Gu Shanhai felt this idea was very good but useless.

"So Uncle, do you intend to let me be reborn and go back?" Huang Yanshan asked, somewhat surprised.

"There’s such a thought, but I’m worried I might erase myself." Gu Shanhai sighed.

"Erase yourself? What do you mean?" Huang Yanshan grew even more puzzled.

"Literally what it says. Let me think about it." Gu Shanhai was growing more hesitant by the moment.

He did another divination; this time, he went all out, sacrificing ten thousand years of his lifespan for an answer.

This time, it was good, although "destiny" appeared again, this time it came with a big "great." Great destiny!

Unfortunately, due to his own weak strength, he couldn’t give enough feedback or have enough insight into the page of the Time History Book.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and took a gamble!

He had already risked his life before; could he really not part with a page from the Time History Book?

Heavenly Mechanism Flow prioritizes sincerity toward the main character; it’s not like he hadn’t done the Treasure Delivery Boy thing before.

"This chance at rebirth, I’m giving it to you!" Gu Shanhai gritted his teeth and said. When he spoke with sincerity, naturally his word was as good as gold, but without sincerity, that was another matter.

"Uncle, looking at the reluctant expression on your face, why don’t you..." Huang Yanshan saw Gu Shanhai’s grudging look and was somewhat speechless; he didn’t have to be reborn, after all. For him, going back might even mess things up.
