Transform into a human

The Time Cage was broken, but Yue Lai felt nothing; he remained in the Great Library.

An aged voice rang out:

"You can leave now."

Yue Lai smiled:

"I haven't done you a great favor this time, have I?"

The Great Library must have benefited greatly from the human holy positions.

"But you've also gained quite a bit," the Great Library predicted Yue Lai's attempt to extort money. "The elven envoys will be coming to your door soon, and they'll at least give you the title of 'hero.' As for the humans, needless to say, the saints will remember this favor."

The level of civilizational prosperity is related to the strength of all saints, which is indeed a huge favor. As long as Yue Lai doesn't do anything reckless, he can do whatever he wants in the Federation in the future.

As for the heroes of the elves... that's not just a title, but a power that touches upon "legend."

But none of these things concern Yue Lai. As for human relationships, he has long been numb to them since he woke up more than two hundred years ago.

"I have lost my memory," he said earnestly, "and your authority can help me."

"What if I said that it was your past self who personally sealed those memories away?"

"What?"

The Grand Library was not joking at all: "You must have been a powerful superhuman in the past. I felt extremely strong resistance when I opened your memory library."

Its meaning is clear: Yue Lai in the past must have had a broader perspective than he does now, and there must be a reason for making such a choice.

Yue Lai pondered for a long time: "Even so, I still have to find my memories. No one can bear to have a large part of their life missing."

For over two hundred years, he has felt every moment like a ghost floating in the past, not knowing where he came from or where he is going.

This sense of absence is enough to drive a person crazy. "Belonging" may seem ethereal, but no living being can live without it. Beliefs, memories, ethnicity... all can be included in it.

During his conversation with Neptune's Crown, Yue Lai learned of his past name—Feodtai. Considering the historical period in which the Siren Queen was active, he may have experienced more than he imagined.

"But all knowledge comes at a price," the Great Library said, not backing down.

Yue Lai pondered for a moment. This matter was not suitable for taking advantage of Luo An's family any longer. The two commissions he was currently handling were also "about to arrive," and he didn't seem to have anything worth mentioning.

Do you know the Siren Queen's real name?

"The Siren Queen?"

The Grand Library became interested: "The true name of a supreme being... it can be exchanged for a scroll of your memories."

The true name of the deity is so accurate that there's no need to verify its authenticity.

Yue Lai said softly, "His name is Nira."

The mere mention of his name caused a subtle shift in the spatial order of the Great Library—after all, he was gone. A book appeared in a neglected corner of the Great Library—"The Life of Nira."

Although only the cover is currently available, some established futures seem to be in jeopardy.

"Very precious knowledge, the Memory Library is about to be opened again, Yue Lai."

"I'm ready."

A familiar dizziness washed over him as Yue Lai walked step by step toward himself. All of his "selves" were collapsing, eventually arriving at a space called "self".

Everything about him is preserved here.

Yue Lai took a deep breath; this time, he finally had the opportunity to explore further.

He walked step by step toward the end of the archives. He didn't know how much time had passed when the sheen on the bamboo slips suddenly disappeared, dust increased dramatically, and even the candlelight along the way dimmed considerably.

This should be the point at which I awakened; before that, every scroll of bamboo slips would be unknown.

He didn't intend to choose, but randomly picked up a scroll, and the scenery before his eyes changed instantly after he opened it.

Yue Lai stood on the cliff, with an endless sea in front of him. There was a long-haired man with his back to him, dressed in very elaborate clothing, which was the attire of some ancient empire.

He wore a tall crown and a wide belt, with black claw dragon patterns embroidered on the long sleeves, but the eyes were red.

Strange, don't the Imperials never like to draw eyes on dragons in their artwork?

The man's voice mingled with the sea breeze:

"You seem somewhat out of place compared to the rest of the organization."

Yue Lai said nonchalantly:

"I told you long ago, I'm a good person, unlike you bunch of bastards."

"Well, so that's how you've always seen us," the other person said with a slight smile. "No wonder you gave yourself that nickname. You always do things the opposite of what you're supposed to do."

"Should I also change my code name... [Good Person]? That way, I can still be compared to you."

"Whatever you want, this is the last time we'll see each other anyway."

"Is this the last time...?" The long-haired man's tone was slightly sorrowful. "We were the only ones in the organization who knew each other's identities. I thought we were very good friends."

"Even the best of friends have to say goodbye when it's time to say goodbye," Yue Lai turned around and waved his hand dismissively. "See you again, you heartbroken one."

"Until we meet again, you detestable immortal being."

As the sea breeze gradually faded, the smell of decaying wood filled his nostrils, and Yue Lai returned to a shallow dream.

"Should I buy a lottery ticket? I could win the grand prize with just a random draw..."

He was prepared to pull out junk files like "This meal was delicious today," since everyday life definitely makes up the majority of anyone's memories, but he still pulled out the most troublesome one.

Before he lost his memory, he was one of the nine Grand Masters of the Heartless Society, codenamed "The Bad Guy"!

"My God..."

……

……

Samir Fortress, Boss Shee's secret base.

Yue Lai and Li Youyou woke up, realizing that what was supposed to be a simple trip to the library had turned out to be like a dream.

Outside the hamburger shop, reporters who had rushed to the scene had already surrounded the store.

Li looked bewildered: "What happened?"

Yue Lai pretended to be unaware: "I don't know either."

He turned on the camera function of his watch, casually pulled out a screen of light, and the trending topic made Li's eyes widen:

"What the hell is this?!"

NO.1 "The Elves Return to the World"

NO2. Is the War of Expansion Resuming?

NO.3 "Yue Laihua's Lace Makes Another Miraculous Contribution"

No wonder there were so many reporters blocking the way outside!

Li quickly skimmed through the report and finally understood what had happened—

"What do you mean I accidentally saved a mainstream civilization while researching?!"

"It's mainly about me; it has little to do with you."

The sheriff glared at her.

Just as the two were bantering, Chengfeng walked over with a pained expression on his face. If it weren't for him, Yue Lai and Li would have been overwhelmed by reporters long ago.

"Gentlemen, I'm starting to suspect that I came here today specifically to practice shuttle runs."

"And me," Plantagenet said expressionlessly, "there was once an artist who tied himself to a chair and told all visitors they could do whatever they wanted to him without facing any consequences. Guess what happened to him in the end?"

The military instructor pointed to the reporters outside the door:

"You almost experienced it firsthand."
