"But as ti passed, my abilities in all aspects gradually declined, until I beca weaker and eventually returned to being like a normal person. In the end, even the Mythical-level Curiosities Fragnt disappeared from .
"Despite this, I continuously searched for that figure in my mind, because I knew she was waiting for sowhere in the world..." At this point, Restricted Level 1001 closed his eyes.
"Are you kidding ?" Ji Minghuan caught a flaw in his words, "When you say ’like a normal person’, do you an suspending ti, boldly walking into the Salvation Society’s base, and then taking away right in front of them?"
He paused: "And then you dragged to these ssy places, turned your mories into a movie for to watch, what kind of ’normal person’ does that?"
"That’s where you’ve misunderstood..." Restricted Level 1001 said, "The last abilities I had left were so Spiritual powers. Didn’t you see? I didn’t actually suspend ti, nor did I really take you out of the base."
Ji Minghuan was stunned: "You an..."
"Exactly, I’m in your mind right now, and everything you see is an illusion." Restricted Level 1001 said, "A few months ago, I used my last ability to implant a shadow shaped like Kong Youling in your mind, and that shadow is essentially a switch."
He paused: "And now... I’ve opened that switch, and we’re swimming in your mind. Everything around us is essentially images conjured by your spirit."
"Oh, now I understand." Ji Minghuan was not too surprised, "I was wondering why it was so strange."
"You must have guessed it, no need to play dumb."
"Go on, then."
"Where was I... In short, I searched for that shadow in my mind for a very long ti, and finally, the ti ca to August 15, 2007." Restricted Level 1001 said, "Ji Minghuan, this is your birthdate."
Ji Minghuan thought for a mont: "After I was born, you slowly started recalling your previous mories?"
"That’s right, in the year after you were born, many past mories started to flash in my mind. Then I slowly started to recall many things that happened between 2007 and 2020 during those years."
"Did you figure out who you were then?"
"Yes, by then I had faintly rembered my na, parts of my past, and who exactly that white-haired girl I had been searching for was..." Restricted Level 1001 said without any expression, "But those mories were incomplete, so after that, I kept looking for this tiline’s version of myself, which is you."
"Co on, that sounds a bit creepy." Ji Minghuan smacked his lips.
Restricted Level 1001 remained indifferent, continuing, "After that, I took so asures to start contacting the most powerful and mysterious organization in this world."
"The ’Salvation Society’?"
"Yes."
"You were quite generous, the Salvation Society once hunted you down. If not for your successful feigned death back then, even after a century has passed, they’d probably still be chasing after you." Ji Minghuan said with a sigh.
"It doesn’t matter to ... you understand, there is only one thing I care about," said Restricted Level 1001, "After that, I called myself the ’Prophet’ and secretly cooperated with them for a very long ti... During this period, with the mories I gradually retrieved, I secretly inford the Salvation Society of a series of events that would happen in the future, helping them avoid many troubles, thereby gaining their trust."
"Hmm... so, eventually, you told the Salvation Society that you prophesied I would destroy the world in the future. Then you let them capture ?" Ji Minghuan took a deep breath and finally asked this crucial question.
"Yes."
Restricted Level 1001 remained expressionless.
"Was it necessary? Since we are derived from the sa root, why the rush to fight each other?"
"As far as I know, the Salvation Society’s base is the safest place in the world, having them protect you and Kong Youling is the best option I could think of... As long as Kong Youling doesn’t die, you won’t lose control, nor will you make the sa mistakes I did."
"Why would Kong Youling die?" Ji Minghuan questioned, "The Old Jingmai District incident happened six years earlier than expected. She couldn’t possibly die again at the hands of the Father of Puppets’ Star Caller, right? What exactly are you thinking?"
"No... as long as she’s by your side, there’s a possibility she will die."
Ji Minghuan paused, then his tone gradually cooled down:
"What do you an?"
Restricted Level 1001 calmly said, "You don’t understand, a Restricted Level superpower will lead its owner to self-destruction. Everything in the world has its extre; it must reverse upon reaching it... And a power so unmatched and unrestrained will ultimately lead to self-destruction."
"So what does this have to do with Kong Youling?"
"Your superpower will guide reality’s developnt, designing nurous ways that could lead to Kong Youling’s death until it becos a reality." Restricted Level 1001 said, "Because... it’s the fastest way to destroy you."
Ji Minghuan was taken aback.
"You’ve got to be kidding ..." he lowered his voice, almost hoarsely.
"Of course, things are different now. Because I intervened in this tiline, changing your future." At this, Restricted Level 1001 paused slightly, "Of course, the price of doing so is that I will disappear... completely disappear."
"Why?"
"It’s simple, because your future changed, I will no longer co into existence." Restricted Level 1001 said quietly, "From the mont you were imprisoned by the Salvation Society... or rather, from the mont the Old Jingmai District incident occurred five years earlier, your fate had already changed."
