Time Traveler Help Hotline

"Intentional?" Ji Mo pondered these words, glancing at Lan Yun out of the corner of his eye. The clues connected, and he realized the truth.

No matter how compassionate a deity is associated with destruction, their methods of compassion will certainly differ from what ordinary people imagine.

Let's assume that the God of the End granted Chen Ying the ability to travel between worlds on the condition that he could not leave the God of the End's Realm.

That makes sense, then Chen Ying could only travel to a world that has been destroyed.

All the destroyed worlds are prepared territories for the End God Realm, so Chen Ying can only travel between worlds without any life forms, which does not count as breaking this ironclad rule.

As for the blue luck.

Don't forget the premise of this ironclad rule: living organisms.

At that time, Lan Yun was just an ordinary large freight truck, without any supernatural power or intelligence, and was not bound by this iron law.

Therefore, after Chen Ying's death, Lan Yun, who inherited Chen Ying's power, was immediately able to go to the normal world.

In the fragments of his memory, Lan Yun, who was trying to travel to other worlds for the first time, looked at the bustling city and laughed and cried. He felt that if Chen Ying and he had persisted for one more world back then, they could have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Even if this isn't Chen Ying's hometown, it's still several levels better than those destroyed worlds.

Little did they know that as long as Chen Ying was alive and the two continued to travel together, they would never be able to reach the normal world.

Ji Mo had no good impression of Lan Yun, but Chen Ying was innocent.

Imagine if Chen Ying had managed to share the power beforehand, and Lan Yun, who had attempted to teleport separately, had arrived in the normal world and provided the coordinates, while Chen Ying herself was unable to teleport to the destination. The lie behind this gift would have been exposed, and the despair of never being able to return would have been enough to crush Chen Ying.

Which ending is more tragic? Ji Mo couldn't say for sure.

Having witnessed so many worlds perish, did Chen Ying truly never realize it? Perhaps he already knew, which is why he bestowed his power upon Lan Yun on his deathbed. This spared him from facing the despairing truth while also granting Lan Yun true freedom.

What happened afterward was completely beyond Chen Ying's imagination.

How could a transmigrator who rarely even sees a living person know about the existence of the "Inter-border Immigration Bureau"?

Ji Mo voiced his guess, which was confirmed by the God of the End: "I know very well that it is more in line with his wishes to travel home with hope than to live in the God of the End world in the pain of homesickness every day."

"If you truly care about his wishes, you should let him go."

While this approach is indeed more lenient without breaking the ironclad rules, the despair brought about by the exposed truth is doubled.

Behind the seemingly humane facade lies a ruthless adherence to ironclad rules.

"Now, please proceed."

Ji Mo's expression darkened slightly.

Chen Ying is already dead, and the End God Realm only restricts life from leaving, so naturally it doesn't restrict him.

"You still don't seem quite satisfied?" The God of Ends' eyes darted around, his tone indifferent, as if discussing after-sales service for a product: "Indeed, everyone in the mortal realm likes to demand compensation. In that case, I will also give you the fragments from his body; that should be enough to make up for the loss."

"...You'll pay the price for your attitude sooner or later, I guarantee it."

"Compared to me, the mortal realm, no, the Three Rivers, should take care of themselves first. Alright, as a former colleague, I'll give you one more piece of information." Ignoring Ji Mo's surprised expression, the God of Death continued, "Back then, the God of Death was deliberately led to the mortal realm by a certain realm. As for the clues... think carefully about which realm needs to expand its territory now."

……

Lan Yun's consciousness slowly awoke from the darkness, and he found himself back at the villa, but the two people had vanished.

Where is he? Could it be... that he has been obliterated by that god? Lan Yun thought with a mixture of anticipation and fear. She had never imagined that the god could be so terrifying, being dragged to the starry sky and beyond the void simply because someone tried to peek at His true face through His memories.

Lan Yun then discovered that all her injuries had healed. After thinking for a while, she remembered that Jiu Chonglou had used magic to save her before she fainted, and had also healed the injuries from the previous dozen or so worlds at the same time.

This left Lan Yun with extremely mixed feelings. She desperately wanted the two of them to die, but she also felt that she had incurred another debt.

She comforted herself, telling herself that it would all be over soon.

Just as Lan Yun was convincing himself, he heard the sound of a heavy object being dragged. A rope tied to Ji Mo and both ends of the coffin left a trail on the ground as it walked over step by step.

Before she could even get anxious, a sentence floated over.

"I know where Chen Ying's hometown is."

……

Chen Ying comes from the mortal realm.

There were actually signs of this all along.

Ji Mo initially suspected that at least one of the two people seeking help came from the mortal realm, but ruled out Lan Yun because of his teleportation skills and suspected status as a high-level superhuman.

He has now confirmed that Lan Yun only possesses such powerful teleportation ability by borrowing power; he is merely a second-tier superhuman, just within the range of strength that can be received.

Anyone who has been a long-distance driver knows that driving at high speeds for extended periods is extremely tedious. To avoid falling asleep due to boredom, drivers often play music, listen to the radio, or chat with their co-driver to stay awake.

As a large cargo truck that has undergone multiple upgrades, the Blue Transport truck itself is equipped with the function of receiving radio signals.

For her, the broadcast was merely a "malfunction"—the radio system inexplicably broke down during her escape, forcing her to watch the program while she was being scolded. She frantically searched for a way to turn it off, eventually discovering that she could quickly shut it off by simply calling the hotline and saying a few words.

As for other issues, she didn't pay much attention to them, nor was she interested in understanding the program's content.

Lan Yun's behavior is not that of a conscious being born from the mortal realm. The source of his fortune as a citizen of the mortal realm is thus readily apparent.

She not only shared the teleportation ability, but also this good fortune.

If speculation is not enough to prove anything, Ji Mo can also provide concrete evidence.

As long as the name Chen Ying left behind is not fake, and the streets and alleys in her memory are not fabricated, the database of the mortal world can quickly filter out the corresponding work location and home.

"Fortunately, he was born in modern times, when population censuses were already quite comprehensive," Ji Mo said.

The large hard drive was put back into Lan Yun's mind, and the memory of his first meeting with Chen Ying seemed like yesterday, gradually overlapping with the dilapidated factory in front of him.

She collapsed to the ground, oblivious to the questioning glances from passersby, completely dazed.

Chen Ying once discussed what would happen if his hometown, like the countless worlds he had traveled to, were to perish.

"I want to go home, but I don't want to go home this way." Fortunately, his hometown is one of the legendary Seven Realms, and it is still prosperous.

Lan Yun didn't understand the meaning of those words before, but now, upon reflection, he probably realized that Chen Ying had already realized the truth that she could never go back.

He hoped he would be the last victim, and that all those who had left their hometowns due to accidents could return to their homeland before their lives came to an end.

When she and the Qiaobang Immigration Bureau realized that this teleportation ability could easily break through even the spatial blockade of the Weifan Realm, they did not hesitate to choose to maximize their interests.

One resident of the mortal realm is worth the same as one hundred ordinary immigrants, and she sent away no fewer than one hundred people in total.

"What have I done...?"
