"So is it really back to five years ago now? Can I intervene, or am I just a spectator?"

Wu Liang crawled out of the Gloomy Pool, his clothes soaking wet. After wringing out a bit of moisture, a strange thought suddenly popped into his head—

Anyway, his dad and mom had a fire going over there, he might as well go over and dry his clothes?

But this thought only lasted for a moment before he dismissed it.

Because he couldn't guarantee whether he was only seeing the events of the past as a spectator again, or if he had actually traveled back in time to the cave from five years ago.

If he truly had traveled back, then his every word and action could potentially alter the future.

It could even... lead to him not being alive now.

"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you up so early? Aren't you going to sleep a bit more? You've only rested for four hours." Another familiar voice came from inside the tent.

Wu Liang looked over sharply, seeing a young man who slightly resembled Wu Xiaoyao, but his features were much more fierce.

This person was Ghost Valley!

During the final stage of the Fierce Dragon Ghost incident in Chengyang City, all of Ghost Valley's methods had been exhausted, and the mask covering his face naturally came off.

That's when Wu Liang saw his appearance.

Unexpectedly, Ghost Valley had indeed explored some divine relic with Wu Xiaoyao and Yao Qingxue five years ago!

The most critical thing was if viewed from the perspective of time rewinding, everything he was seeing now had already happened.

This guy was actually Wu Xiaoyao's brother, which means he was Wu Liang's uncle!

"It shouldn't be… then why do I have no memory of this uncle from childhood, and there's not even a record of Ghost Valley in the official documents?" Wu Liang couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it.

Five years ago, there was no Supernatural Calamity, human society was stable, and the era of big data spanned the entire network.

Since Ghost Valley, as Wu Xiaoyao's brother, was able to join the archaeological team, and wasn't some criminal, he couldn't possibly be an undocumented resident, right?

Why is there no information about him in the official system files under such circumstances?

"Ha, your sister-in-law had a nightmare and woke up to keep me company on the night watch, you should go rest a bit more, once Qiming wakes up, we'll set off again." Wu Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Ghost Valley shook his head and replied, "I can't sleep now either, so I'll go continue to examine the Stone Slab."

With that, he turned and went back inside the tent.

From a backpack, he took out a Stone Slab half as tall as a person, as thick as a deck of cards stacked up.

It was hard to imagine how heavy such a large Stone Slab must be, but Ghost Valley handled it like it was as light as a feather, easily bringing it out with one hand, sitting by the firelight to examine the marks on it.

Yao Qingxue saw the Stone Slab and couldn't help but say, "We've come here based solely on the information recorded on it, without even fully researching the material of this Stone Slab. It's truly unfathomable."

"No choice, after all, it's Seven Days of Soul Revival, and Xiaoliang has passed away two days ago. If we wait to fully research the Stone Slab, it will be too late." Wu Xiaoyao sighed.

He too wished to wait until everything was ready before taking action, and at least prepare more manpower and resources for the exploration.

But time waits for no one.

If they were to submit the information on the Stone Slab to the department, and then conduct research and await national archaeological approval, it wouldn't be a matter resolved in a day or two.

Not to mention Seven Days of Soul Revival, even seven years might not be enough!

"If it were someone else, how could we act so rashly? But you're my brother! Plus, haven't we all witnessed the miracle of the Stone Slab? The magic of foreseeing the future!"

Ghost Valley stroked the smooth, fresh surface of the Stone Slab with fascination.

Rather than a Stone Slab, it was more like a mirror made of stone, even capable of reflecting Ghost Valley's face. Before leaving, he tested it with professional instruments.

The surface of the Stone Slab was harder, lighter, and smoother than any material known to mankind.

He would never forget the day his older brother Wu Xiaoyao received the Stone Slab.

In front of everyone, Wu Xiaoyao said he saw a string of words on the Stone Slab indicating that the tomb they were excavating would collapse in ten minutes.

The Slab also revealed that it was caused by a Fierce Ghost called Tomb Guardian Ghost from within the tomb.

He described the ghost's habits, abilities, weaknesses, and even the time of discovery with detailed information.

Although the content was quite detailed, everyone at the time didn't take it seriously, dismissing it as mere superstition.

Only Wu Xiaoyao inexplicably believed it wholeheartedly, insisting that everyone withdraw from the tomb to avoid unforeseen disaster.

Bear in mind that the tomb was only just being excavated, and everyone had exerted tremendous effort to safely enter it. If they were to immediately withdraw, the entire archaeological team would certainly be angered.

"Then ten minutes later the tomb collapsed, members of the archaeological team died mysteriously, with all sorts of bizarre, horrifying causes of death."

"In the end, it was you, brother, who again reviewed the Stone Slab and used the information on it to lead the remaining people out alive." Ghost Valley said excitedly.

He then lifted his head to look at Wu Xiaoyao, who had a helpless smile and said, "Brother, did you really only see those Fierce Ghosts' information back then?"

The reason for asking this was very simple - apart from Wu Xiaoyao, no one else could see the patterns and words on the Stone Slab!

So, actually, the entire archaeological team of four was here solely based on their trust in Wu Xiaoyao!

"Yes, the drawing I made on paper for you guys then was what I saw, besides the Fierce Ghost information, there was only the location for Seven Days of Soul Revival."

Actually, there's one more thing Wu Xiaoyao didn't tell the others—he saw the Tomb Guardian Ghost in the tomb!

When everyone began mysteriously dying, only he witnessed the ghost's appearance and the entire process unfold right in front of his eyes!

But he worried that speaking of this wouldn't be convincing to others, as the concept of the Stone Slab foreseeing the future was already outrageous, if such Fierce Ghosts truly existed, it would completely change global perspectives!

Now the pressing issue is to save his son!

Other matters can wait...

Meanwhile, Wu Liang, not far away, leaned over, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.

In Wu Liang's eyes, there were no words on the Stone Slab, only a sculpture resembling a stone book engraved with two large characters on the cover—
