Chapter 175 The Only Chance

Xiao Zi seemed unable to answer Jiang Ran's question either.

"In fact, when I first discovered the truth, I was also very confused. I asked myself, there are so many people on this planet, why me of all?

"But later, in countless cycles, I suddenly realized that perhaps it all started because of the moon that night."

Jiang Ran didn't quite understand.

"If it was the moon, other people saw it too, right? Like God, he saw it too..."

No, it seems different.

Jiang Ran suddenly realized at this point that GOD had never actually seen the eyes disguised as the "moon".

What he saw was merely an image.

Jiang Ran said softly, "Did you see that thing back then too?"

But before Xiao Zi could reply, she smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you and I should be the same."

Xiao Zi echoed Jiang Ran's words, "Actually, neither I, nor any of us in countless cycles, have fully understood this matter. But the only thing we can be sure of is that, yes, we are indeed the most special one."

"But while we were saving ourselves, that big eyeball was also trying to make the swallowing of Paro Island go more smoothly."

"So many times in the middle, we got lost in the dungeons and forgot our purpose."

During Jiang Ran and Xiao Zi's conversation, Ma Jike and Xiao Bai, who had recovered, also came up and naturally saw their conversation.

Upon seeing this, Majik finally couldn't contain his shock and murmured, "Turning time back? Who has such power..."

Seeing Jiang Ran looking over, he said seriously, "If it were that god, it seems there's no reason for it to turn back time. So, it's this... the master from a parallel universe?"

The small print flashed: "I don't have that kind of power; I'm just acting as a medium."

"It is the consciousness of Blue Star. It cannot stop Paro Island, nor can it stop the Big Eyeball from doing whatever it wants. The only thing it can do is to use the anchor points set up on Paro Island and use its last strength to explore the possibilities that exist in different timelines."

"Actually, it might not be accurate to describe it as time travel. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that it places us at the starting point where countless timelines extend and intersect."

"It's like, in this timeline, you are talking to me, while in my timeline, I might have just drawn that evil big eye in my diary."

Jiang Ran blinked: "Now that you mention it, it seems like the starting point of that timeline is this diary."

No wonder it's so unique; it's a deathly Barbie pink.

Xiao Zi did not deny it: "I think that back then, Blue Star probably discovered Big Eyeball's scheme and gave it a push."

"The Big Eye wants to use people like GOD, who can absorb a portion of its power, as 'seeds' to harvest and devour us, but it also gives the will of Earth a chance to select."

Although the first "Jiang Ran" to discover all of this did not know the specific process, the closer she got to the truth, the clearer her understanding became.

Everything in the game owes something to Blue Star's efforts.

The restrictions imposed on Big Eyeball and the "preferential treatment" that Jiang Ran felt were perhaps the result of resistance.

That's why Jiang Ran had found the game system's "attitude" a bit strange before. Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she hesitantly asked, "Wait a minute, so, those so-called real fragments I have... or rather, those various notebooks, could they all be...?"

Xiao Zi is, after all, Jiang Ran from another timeline. Even though different experiences lead to slight differences in her personality expression, her underlying nature has remained largely unchanged.

Therefore, when Jiang Ran spoke, she roughly guessed what Jiang Ran was suspicious of.

Similarly, she admitted it quite readily: "Yes, you are the author of the journal. Surprised or not?"

Jiang Ran was speechless.

This is such a wonderful surprise!

Looking at it this way, my life seems quite colorful across different timelines...

Knowing this, Jiang Ran suddenly felt much more at ease, at least she could be sure that the mysterious power came from her own people.

Little White, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Master, the moon is getting closer and closer."

Jiang Ran looked up and, sure enough, the closer the giant eyeball got, the stranger the atmosphere in the entire instance became.

The dark figures that had been quietly staring at the house began to move again.

They formed circles in groups, with some of the shadowy figures kneeling in prayer towards the inner circle from the outermost edge, while the shadowy figures inside seemed to melt away, turning back into a pool of black liquid.

But the thick black slime didn't flow out of the shadowy figures' encirclement; instead, it seemed to boil, and something was slowly crawling out from inside!
Seeing this, Jiang Ran suddenly felt a sense of urgency. She quickly asked, "Do you know where the remaining fragments are? The biggest difference in this timeline is my rebirth, right?"

"No, I should say that although my timeline has returned to the very beginning, my memories have not been erased."

"The biggest variable is because of you, isn't it? So how did you manage to do it? And how are you going to stop all of this from happening?!"

Xiao Zi seemed to sense Jiang Ran's urgency, her heart pounding: "I don't know. Your timeline has deviated from its original form, and I don't know the final outcome either."

"All I know is that every time we failed before, it was because of Big Eyeball's rampage. But what's very different is that the rampage I encountered happened much later on."

"Throughout all timelines, there has never been a situation where the third instance abnormally closes and directly leads to the fourth instance, or even where a rampage occurs so early in the timeline."

"I guess it's because the memories you retained accelerated your actions, which in turn affected too many of the original processes."

"But change isn't always a bad thing. At least right now, neither the Big Eyeball nor Paro Island has reached the point of completely controlling the will of Earth. This is also our opportunity!"

“I…%*-、.'☆◎…”

The remaining words suddenly turned into gibberish. Jiang Ran tried calling her name twice, but no new text appeared.

Jiang Ran guessed that it was most likely the so-called "big eyeball's" rampage that forcibly cut off the information.

But Jiang Ran, who knew everything, felt little fear.

Perhaps it was because she heard her parallel universe self say that there were countless "Jiang Rans" working hard on their own timelines, or perhaps it was because she discovered that the will of the entire planet stood behind her.

She watched the eyeball that was still getting closer and closer, feeling no fear, her mind focused on only one thing.

Amidst countless timeline shifts, could this be the only chance for Earth to break free from the control of Paro Island and the Big Eye?
