"Master, we should leave here quickly. If soone finds us, they'll think we're the culprits."
Xiao Bai's familiar voice echoed in Li ng's mind, causing his expression to freeze.
"Huh, huh!"
Li ng's surprised exclamation echoed through the forest.
He stood up and looked around.
His eyes, hidden behind a silver mask, scanned the surroundings with uncertainty.
The familiar carriage, the familiar corpses, the familiar scene of a bandit ambush.
Three days ago, he should have already left this place.
Why was he back here again?
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Xiao... Xiao Bai, I think I've returned to three days ago."
"Returned to three days ago? Master, what do you an?"
"Literally, three days ago I left here, but now I'm back to three days ago."
Li ng was sure he had indeed returned to three days ago.
Just minutes ago, he had arrived at a human town.
As soon as he saw the town walls, in the next instant, he was back three days ago.
"Xiao Bai, is there any magic in this world similar to ti reversal?"
"Ti reversal? Master, are you sure?"
"If it wasn't a dream, I'm sure!"
"I've heard so divine children have very special abilities. Perhaps a divine child activated ti reversal."
"Divine child? What's that?"
"Divine children are a very special kind of people. They are born with unique abilities called powers. So powers can even affect the entire world, like the ti reversal you ntioned."
"Is such a thing possible?"
Li ng found it hard to believe.
Such abilities were beyond comprehension.
"This world operates on magic, and magic is omnipotent."
"Xiao Bai, then why don't you rember these three days?"
"Since it's ti reversal, naturally, no one except the caster would rember future events."
"Then why do I rember?"
"I don't know!"
Standing up again, Li ng left this troubleso place.
Walking along the forest path, Li ng pondered silently.
Why hadn't he encountered such a thing before in the Goblin Forest?
"Xiao Bai, does ti reversal affect a specific area or the entire world?"
"Of course, the entire world. If it were just a specific area, the world would beco incomplete."
In a flash, Li ng dashed forward.
His speed was so fast that only a shadow could be seen passing through the forest path.
Three days later, in the morning.
On the forest path, beside the carriage.
Li ng, crouching beside a corpse, shivered.
He stood up, looking around with a speechless expression.
"Xiao Bai, I'm back again!"
"Master, what do you an?"
"Ti reversal, I've returned to three days ago. This is the second ti."
"You explained it to last ti. It should be the power of a divine child."
"Xiao Bai, do you have a way to break this?"
He couldn't be trapped in these three days forever.
Although for others, these three days didn't exist.
But Li ng had mories of these three days.
That guy didn't know what he encountered.
Two ti reversals, yet he still couldn't get through the crisis.
"Sorry, Master, I'm powerless."
Xiao Bai's response was expected by Li ng.
After all, in Xiao Bai's eyes, nothing had happened.
It believed him because he was its master.
"Master, we can only wait, wait for that divine child to get through this crisis."
"Alright, then let's wait."
Li ng turned and entered the depths of the forest.
Under a big tree, Li ng leaped up.
His body soared into the air, landing on a thick branch.
Sitting on the branch, Li ng patiently waited.
Ti passed bit by bit.
The next morning, a scream echoed outside.
Passersby discovered the corpses on the road.
Before nightfall, a team of cavalry arrived at the scene.
After burning the corpses, they hurriedly left.
"Xiao Bai, why did they burn the corpses? Wouldn't burying them be easier?"
"Master, if the corpses aren't burned, they'll beco undead creatures."
Hmm, learned another piece of knowledge.
Goblins, as scavengers, were indeed better.
Not to ntion leaving corpses, they wouldn't even leave bones.
Three days later, on the forest path.
"That guy is really unfortunate!"
Li ng stood up with a speechless expression and walked towards the forest depths.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Ti reversal, this is the third ti."
Deep in the forest, Li ng jumped onto that big tree again.
Sitting on the branch, Li ng continued to wait.
The next morning, at the sa ti, a scream echoed on the forest path.
In the afternoon, before nightfall, the cavalry arrived at the sa ti.
Three days later, the fourth ti reversal occurred.
Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...
"That guy can't survive past the third day, no matter what?"
Under the big tree, Li ng leaped up onto a thick branch.
"Xiao Bai, this is the eighth ti."
Li ng looked up at the sky beyond the tree canopy with a speechless expression.
"This is like being in prison, Xiao Bai, is there really no solution?"
"There is, find the divine child using ti reversal, kill him or help him through this crisis, but the condition for using ti reversal might be death, so you have to find him."
"The world is so big, it's impossible to find him, right?"
"The possibility is almost zero. Even if you know where he is, if it's not within a place you can reach in three days, it doesn't matter."
That's true, three days isn't long.
If the divine child using ti reversal is three thousand kiloters away.
There's no way to reach him in three days.
"So if he can't get through this crisis, will it loop forever?"
"No, using powers like ti reversal must co with a price. Master, you might just need to patiently wait. After all, ti is stagnant. Even if it loops ten thousand tis, ti will remain fixed in these three days."
"That's true!"
Li ng glanced slightly towards the northwest.
There seed to be sothing in that direction.
It was an illusion, but the feeling grew stronger.
And so, Li ng repeated each day.
The screaming passersby, the cavalry, the fire burning the corpses.
Every three days, a cycle, with no change in ti.
"Xiao Bai, this is the 21st ti."
"Master, sorry, I... I can't think of a solution."
"If the condition for using his ti reversal power is death, he should have collapsed by now."
"Perhaps, Master, why do you keep looking towards the northwest?"
"It feels like there's sothing in that direction, and the feeling is getting stronger."
"Go take a look. The intuition of a strong person like you is very important."
"Alright, let's go check it out!"
Li ng leaped down from the tree.
