Chapter 382: Chapter 289: Her Life

Facing the question about regret, Xiao Yi did not provide a direct answer but instead asked,

"How should I act to save her?"

"Ah..." Regret showed a somewhat helpless smile, "No wonder Little Yifu cares so much about you. But, don’t rush just yet. I hope you can calmly decide whether you’re truly willing to face the difficulties after knowing everything that lies ahead."

"..." Xiao Yi’s expression was solemn, no longer the casual demeanor he had before. He silently awaited Regret’s explanation.

"I just mentioned that all you need to do is return that Power to her, right? But, under current circumstances, that is absolutely impossible."

Regret slowly explained,

"Because, at this moment, Little Yifu exists nowhere; she is a deceased person, long dead and scattered with the wind. Thus, you cannot return the Power to her."

"Could it be..." Fei Ye thought of something, her brow furrowing as she asked, "Are you asking Xiao Yi... to go back nineteen years? To when Eve was still alive?"

"Exactly." Regret looked intently at Xiao Yi and sincerely advised, "According to the rules, we can’t interfere too much with this planet for personal reasons. Therefore, I cannot directly manipulate time. All I can do is to reverse your personal timeline until you cross those opposite yet still whole nineteen years and reach Little Yifu’s side.

But! Time Reversal means that your own self will also undergo reversal. Logically, including blood circulation, cellular changes, physical growth, and everything else, will reverse, meaning you will become a child, a toddler. Fortunately, your existence, since it has the ’Absolute Existence’ Power, won’t be interfered with. However, Time Reversal will still be immensely painful for you, and adapting to it will take a long time... Even so, won’t you cease?"

"I have always been thinking calmly," Xiao Yi immediately replied, "So, my answer remains the same."

"Have you really thought it through? Because it means... you’ll have to endure nineteen years alone in a reversed world."

"Xiao Yi," Fei Ye knew how painful it felt, so she advised, "You should consider it a bit more."

"No..." However, Xiao Yi remained resolute and shook his head, "It’s just nineteen years... the same length as the life I have lived so far. Moreover, solitude, for the most part, I’ve lived like that my whole life, I’m used to it."

"...Is that so?" Regret took a deep breath, "Then, the second step... isn’t just about going back and seeing Little Yifu to return the Power to her. This perhaps... is the most difficult step."

"Is it?" Xiao Yi didn’t care and asked, "What exactly should I do?"

Regret, slowly said,

"...Grant her, at that time, the wish to live."

...

With that, Xiao Yi had learned everything he needed to know; what remained was the execution of the plan.

"I... am ready," Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said to Regret.

"Wouldn’t you say goodbye to anyone?" Regret asked, "This might be a road of no return..."

"No..." Xiao Yi shook his head, "I will definitely Return successfully, so there is no need for farewells."

Then, Xiao Yi turned to Fei Ye and apologized,

"Sorry, Fei Ye, you came all this way, and I have to leave for a while... By the way, I might come back anytime, could you let others know if they ask where I went?"

"I will." Fei Ye gazed at Xiao Yi, suppressing her inner unrest, and lightly smiled at him, "Then... although I know it might not be helpful, I will keep praying here for your safe return."

"Thank you..."

Having said that, Xiao Yi turned back to Regret, his gaze filled with determination,

"Alright, I’ve settled everything I need to do. We can start now..."

"I understand... Her story isn’t over yet, then, let you continue the story between you and her."

Regret’s expression became slightly tense, then he raised his hand, and reversed time for Xiao Yi alone.

"...! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Then, Xiao Yi was enveloped by a strange sensation.

He felt as if his organs were being twisted up inside him, a painfully intense substance constantly oozing out from his ears, nose, throat, and eyes!

He even felt his brain swirling endlessly within his skull.

This bizarre sensation, to call it simply ’pain’, would be far too gentle.

But still, Xiao Yi withstood it fiercely!

"It’s only been a few seconds so far, far from... the nineteen years I have to endure... Speaking of which, those nineteen years, converted into seconds... how many seconds would that be? Now... I need to calculate it precisely."

Thus, Xiao Yi, by continuously engaging his thoughts, barely maintained his sanity through these nineteen years.

Combating the body’s agony with mental pondering, although sometimes he would lose consciousness due to this indescribably strange pain, and soon after, the pain would awaken him from unconsciousness. But as time passed, Xiao Yi finally grew accustomed to the reversed world.
