Bang——

Before Wu Liang could think of a response, he suddenly noticed a fragment of space near his mother's side fracture within the crack and then fall in front of him.

"Collision? Or perhaps... fusion?"

To his surprise, the fallen space fragment did not cause any disturbance but seamlessly integrated into the space of this world.

Meanwhile, Wu Xiaoyao and Yin Qiming, who were still struggling on the other side, were restraining each other and unable to move.

Since the two had just merged with themselves from this world, both their memories and bodily functions were extremely chaotic.

Yin Qiming couldn't immediately adapt to use the Fierce Ghost Ability to control Wu Xiaoyao; whereas Wu Xiaoyao, who had reached his limit, was instead invigorated because his body here was still at its peak.

For a moment, neither of them could overpower the other.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Suddenly, the shell of Wu Liang, sitting on the sofa, turned its head lightly and said such words.

In a spiritual body state, Wu Liang instinctively turned back to look behind him but did not find any traces of anyone.

Then the shell spoke again: "Stop looking, I mean you, or rather, the future version of me."

"!"

His words immediately sent chills down Wu Liang's spine. If he weren't in a state of consciousness without a flesh form, he would surely have goosebumps all over.

Unexpectedly, this shell, which had merged with this world from a corpse state, could actually see him!

After calming his emotions slightly, Wu Liang floated in front of it coldly and asked, "What do you mean? These are merely past events. Why should I intervene?"

Although speaking with his former self felt eerie, he had encountered so many supernatural events that bizarre occurrences were not new to him.

The only question Wu Liang had now was, if this shell was indeed his past self, why didn't he have any memory of it?

Moreover, the Ghost Compendium should have been in his mind since childhood, so how could it have just merged with him through the corpse now that he was over ten years old?

Could he have a memory lapse again?

"Relax, you haven't lost your memory; it's just that this part of the past no longer exists," the shell replied coldly, like a machine.

Without even speaking, merely having such a fleeting thought in his brain was seen through.

Wu Liang was suddenly filled with vigilance against this shell.

As the individual and the consciousness confronted each other, something else fell out of the crack with a thud in front of the shell.

"Hiss... Where is this...?"

Yao Qingxue woke up, rubbing her head and swaying from side to side, only to find herself standing in her home, while everything around her was collapsing continuously, and Wu Xiaoyao and Yin Qiming were wrestling in the hallway.

Though she didn't understand why she was in her home, upon seeing her son, who was no longer in a mummy state on the sofa, Yao Qingxue immediately turned around to pick up the shell and prepared to flee.

The world may be vast, but her son was the most important!

"Stop! Stop right there!"

Yin Qiming roared in anger upon seeing this, his eyes shimmering with an unusual light before finally turning completely pitch black.

Buzz——

In an instant, Wu Xiaoyao, who was desperately trying to restrain his movement, suddenly froze, just like Wu Quanye in the cave.

He had adapted to this body.

The Fierce Ghost Ability could be forcibly used!

Breaking free from Wu Xiaoyao's struggle, Yin Qiming rushed towards Yao Qingxue, who was planning to open the door and leave with the shell on her back, desperately trying to touch the shell with his fingers.

Just one touch!

He could possess the consciousness!

Crunch——

The room door was opened by Yao Qingxue, and she took a step forward intending to run to the street to seek help.

But she unexpectedly stepped into the void, and her entire body fell due to inertia, but she managed to grab the door handle to stabilize herself and avoid falling into a bottomless abyss.

"What has happened!?"

Standing at the doorway, Yao Qingxue was completely dumbfounded.

There was no street outside at all, just countless ruins, with the entire world shattered and endlessly forming bottomless space cracks.

It seemed like it wouldn't be long before this world completely collapsed.

"Madam, give Xiaoliang to me! Once I possess the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium, I can restore the stability of all worlds, and I can bring a sound Wu Liang back from another world for you! Isn't your and Master's wish to see him safe?" Yin Qiming gasped as he approached Yao Qingxue step by step.

He, too, noticed the anomaly outside.

If he rushed forward forcibly at this point, there was no guarantee that Yao Qingxue, along with the shell, wouldn't both fall into the space crack, and he could never find the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium again!

"You're talking nonsense! Why sacrifice my son to save the world! Don't give me that crap! I know only one thing—Wu Liang is my son, he can't have any more mishaps!" Yao Qingxue gritted her teeth and cursed.

Seeing Yao Qingxue's unyielding attitude, Yin Qiming halted his steps.

He let out a heavy sigh, then took out the blood-stained dagger from his pocket with some regret and said:

"Madam, my apologies, but once I obtain the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium, I will resurrect you."

Instant——

The dagger vanished from his hand in an instant, without any sound of breaking through the air, appearing next to Yao Qingxue's temple.

The sharp blade was just a second away from piercing her head and killing her completely.

Such speed was impossible for Yao Qingxue to predict in advance or her body to react to.

After all, with the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium right in front of him, Yin Qiming no longer cared about what consequences killing someone who shouldn't die would bring.

As long as he mastered the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium, all mistakes and consequences could be altered!

"Hehe, aren't you going to intervene yet?"

Suddenly, the previously cold and expressionless shell twisted its head again and talked to Wu Liang's spirit not far away.

As it spoke, the entire room along with the collapsing world outside came to a halt.

As if time and space had lost their meaning, only he himself could move in this completely still world.

"Why should I intervene? Anyway, Mom is alive and well in Taohua Village right now, proving the past version of her didn't die. I said, I won't change the past." Wu Liang responded coldly.

But the shell merely glanced at Wu Liang, whose spirit form continued to clench his trembling hands, enough to prove that his emotions weren't as stable as they appeared.

The shell continued: "Remember? The Ghost Compendium has uniqueness; if it's taken in the past, the current you will lose it forever. Will the future Taohua Village you speak of truly exist?"

Buzz——

As if in response to these words, the physical book suspended above its forehead emitted a humming sound.

At this moment, Wu Liang also discovered that the Ghost Compendium that had dragged his consciousness to this point had disappeared.

Just as the shell said—even at this junction where the past and the present merge, uniqueness remains unchanged.

The Ghost Compendium can only exist as one!

"Huh... You bastard, setting me up?" Wu Liang sighed and said.

"I am you, so you're a bastard too."

The shell's eyes seemed to become increasingly vibrant, already able to banter with Wu Liang.

Whoosh——

As soon as the words fell, a stone slab of unknown material flew out instantly, landing perfectly between Yao Qingxue's temple and the blood-red dagger, blocking it.

In a spiritual state, Wu Liang maintained a throwing posture, helplessly saying, "Looks like I have to intervene in the past."
