At the moment of picking up the physical book "Ghost Compendium", Wu Liang understood what it meant.

He softly said, looking at the surrounding dark void: "Next, it's the creation of the world, right?"

Bang—

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally pitch-black void, which could swallow even light, suddenly exploded with a dazzling white, and then the dawn of a new day lit up around him.

The scenery of the earth's mountains and rivers, ocean and streams, blue sky, and white clouds started to insanely rewind as if a train was roaring past; in the blink of an eye, the world reached the modern timeline.

Even the buildings that had been swallowed by space cracks began to reconstruct themselves.

However, there was just a tiny bit of change.

The furniture and decorations around his home were not quite the same as before.

The reason was quite simple—

"I should be born now." Wu Liang casually continued as he gazed toward the nearby hospital.

"Wah—"

The cry of a baby came from the delivery room, accompanied by Yao Qingxue, who, sweating profusely, showed a gentle smile as she softly said: "Little guy, from now on you'll be called Wu Liang, let's go meet your father."

"Xue! Are you alright!"

As she was wheeled out from the delivery room by the nurse, Wu Xiaoyao stood anxiously beside the hospital bed, tightly holding Yao Qingxue's hand, as if afraid she would disappear if he loosened his grip.

The newborn was wailing nearby, but Wu Xiaoyao's gaze was fixed on his beloved, understanding from her exhausted face that Yao Qingxue had been through a lot.

"Look at our son, don't just look at me." Yao Qingxue slightly turned her head to gaze at the baby beside her.

This warm scene entered the spiritual consciousness of Wu Liang, making him feel the urge to cry, but unfortunately, his current self had no physical body or tear glands.

He lifted his head and took a deep breath, unconsciously continuing to speak about the next world changes triggered by the "Ghost Compendium", which was also the most critical stage—

"Then, Dad and Mom should regain their memories, along with the Pioneer and Ghost Valley."

As soon as he finished speaking, time accelerated once more.

In just a few seconds, it was already the year Wu Liang turned seventeen, also the time he lost his parents.

By chance, the two elders happened to be conducting field research near the Celestial Pool of Tianshan. According to the original timeline, they should have been in a different tomb and discovered a Stone Slab.

Unfortunately, the Stone Slab was already shattered.

Moreover, without the Pioneer's sub-seed implanted in Yin Qiming's subconscious, in this new world, he did not become Wu Xiaoyao's apprentice, nor did he engage in archaeology.

Thus, the two elders ended up in the Tianshan Mountain Range.

On this very day, Wu Xiaoyao and Yao Qingxue had a bizarre yet incredibly realistic dream.

They recalled everything about the Stone Slab, which was so unbelievable yet suffocating an experience.

To verify the authenticity of these events, they immediately decided to climb to the top of Bogda Peak to explore that peculiar cave.

And just as they began ascending Bogda Peak, Wu Liang saw through the "Ghost Compendium" two familiar figures entering the cave ahead of them.

It was the recently memory-restored Yin Qiming and Wu Quanye.

These two had also arrived at this place.

Once all four had entered the cave, there was no longer any movement.

Next, Wu Liang was informed of his parents' disappearance and death, and he was placed in the care of his aunt, and then, a year later, a Supernatural Calamity occurred…

"Two worlds merged into a new world, and the four of them regaining their past memories became a singularity, but this time their actions to change the world's trajectory would not lead to any consequences because they were now a part of this new world."

"And the reason I was born possessing the Ghost Compendium is that before the world rebooted, in my current spiritual consciousness state, I had already obtained it!"

"Under the principle of singularity, since I now possess the Ghost Compendium, I must have originally possessed it from the start!"

"Effect precedes cause!"

Wu Liang became more excited the more he spoke.

The moment he blocked the blood-red dagger with the Stone Slab not only failed to change the past but also became the true past!

If he hadn't blocked it back then, Yin Qiming would have obtained the "Ghost Compendium", Yao Qingxue and Wu Xiaoyao would have died, and the two worlds, deprived of the "Ghost Compendium's" power, would have been unable to form the current new world.

Therefore, blocking it was something that had to happen in the past!

"So that's why the Pioneer and Ghost Valley, even the fake dad was always talking about something incomprehensible from the past because only they were aware of these events!"

"Now, the only remaining mystery is—why did Ghost Valley think I killed Dad, and why is there no information about him in reality?"

Thinking about this, Wu Liang used the "Ghost Compendium" to re-examine the past events.

He discovered something extremely embarrassing.

When everyone crossed from the Immortal Realm into this world, Wu Quanye had actually died at birth.

And at the moment when Yin Qiming's Fierce Ghost Ability couldn't hold on and failed, as the two worlds merged, he furiously crawled back into the Immortal Realm.

This resulted in him being stuck between the states of existence and non-existence.

The ultimate outcome was that—although Wu Quanye successfully entered the new world, his existence and identity were forgotten by the world.

Only the other three who recovered their memories could prove his existence and identity.

"I see. But why did neither the Pioneer, Ghost Valley, nor the fake dad mention the "Ghost Compendium"?"

Wu Liang pondered this serious question.

He had an odd feeling—

That even though these four people regained their past memories five years ago in the Tianshan Mountain Range, they had not fully recovered them.

Perhaps some form of power selectively prevented them from remembering the most critical thing—the Ghost Compendium!

So now, Yin Qiming only knows to use his own ideals to change and save the world; Wu Xiaoyao, the Bionic Man, only remembers the bizarre death and subsequent soul devoured by his own body; the last scene Wu Quanye witnessed as he passed through the Immortal Realm was this "patricidal resurrection".

Explaining why they all hated me is possible only in this way.

Driven by such hatred and the desire to change the world—the Promised Land was born.

Yin Qiming became the Pioneer.

Wu Quanye became Ghost Valley.

And Wu Xiaoyao, having chosen to sacrifice his soul for his revival, led to a slow dissipation of his soul from the day his memory recovered.

Just like what the Pioneer told me at the final moment of the great battle against Ghost Valley in Chengyang City: "The death of the master is irrevocably irreversible."

This soul trade cannot be undone.

Wu Xiaoyao's soul died before the worlds merged and on the day they entered the cave.

His sacrifice was for his son's rebirth.

He did it willingly…
