Tang Houde hurried to help Xu Linna to a side to rest, brought her a cup of warm water, and then said gently,
"Don't rush, speak slowly. What will happen in the future?"
Xu Linna took the cup of water and realized her hands were trembling almost to the point of exhaustion.
She hadn't known what had happened to her in reality while immersed in experiencing the future.
If she had remained immersed for a few more minutes, she might have already died.
"Um, I saw the future where humanity is destroyed, the future where Reincarnators rule Water Blue Star, and the future where Reincarnators exterminate humanity..."
"There's just too much. Basically, the vast majority of outcomes involve Reincarnators ending the apocalypse, and we are driven out. Only in a very small fraction of futures do we eliminate the Reincarnators, but the apocalypse does not end..."
Xu Linna took a sip of warm water and said with a slight tremble.
"Then... that thing you mentioned, the extremely rare possibility of our victory, what was it?!"
Tang Houde asked nervously.
"The condition for achieving this future is that you need to stay on the lighthouse, and I need to stay on the ground."
"And we cannot destroy all the laboratory data as originally planned; we must leave some clues for the Reincarnators."
"Allowing them to gradually encounter us as they explore this world."
Xu Linna paused for a moment before speaking from memory.
"This isn't difficult. Some laboratories have already gone offline, and we can't remotely control their destruction. However, a considerable number of laboratories are still in our hands, and we can delete or even tamper with their data without any problem."
"So... what's next?"
Tang Houde asked with concern.
"Next, there are several important time points that you must remember and act according to what I say."
"We need to make the Reincarnators believe that the two of us are in opposition. This way, when they are wary of one of us, they will overlook the other."
"This is the key for us to counter-kill them!"
As Xu Linna spoke, she recounted the critical events one by one to Tang Houde.
This included the lighthouse key left in the high-wall city, the expected abandonment of the apocalypse by the Supreme Being, and also Xu Linna being imprisoned in the ice plain prison.
It was precisely because Xu Linna pretended to be in opposition to the progressive faction that the incident of her being kidnapped by Zhang Chen was triggered.
This led to the event of destroying the world's control hub, gradually moving towards the only future where the natives successfully eliminated the Reincarnators and ended the apocalypse.
However, Xu Linna's prophecy only extended to the canyon showdown.
She hadn't had time to clearly see the subsequent event branches before her helmet exploded from overload.
Xu Linna also suffered severe damage to her body as a result and could no longer use the time meteorite for such extended periods.
"Canyon showdown? That's it? How can we be sure we will succeed at this point?!"
Tang Houde said with some annoyance.
He paced back and forth anxiously. Just as he was about to learn the method to success, it cut off at the last moment. How could this not frustrate him?
"It's okay. Although I was only one step away from the end, we can definitely win this step with our intelligence alone!"
"At that time, I will deliberately lose to him and then tell him the location of the Time Meteorite's core fragment."
Xu Linna said calmly.
"And then?"
Tang Houde pressed.
He didn't notice the hint of loss in Xu Linna's eyes at all.
This was because Xu Linna had just said she would lose to a Reincarnator. The fate of losing to a Reincarnator, as a native – the instigator who threw the Reincarnators into the apocalypse to suffer – would undoubtedly be extremely tragic.
Tang Houde did not immediately concern himself but rather the progression of events.
This made Xu Linna feel a bit disheartened. She felt that she could indeed give everything for Tang Houde, but it seemed to be one-sided.
However, she didn't show it on her face and continued:
"Then you can set up energy recovery devices in advance at the location where the Time Meteorite is stored."
"Once he opens the door and enters, immediately activate the energy recovery."
"As long as we absorb all the energy from this Reincarnator who possesses the core of the Creation and Destruction Meteorite within his body, we will have enough energy to purify the entire world."
"At that time, all Reincarnators will lose their power, and the creatures of the apocalypse will also be extremely weak."
"And our human technology will re-establish civilization in a peaceful world."
"As for those humans... it doesn't matter how many casualties there are. As long as we back up their DNA, we can recreate them at any time."
"And you will not only become the savior and the creator of human civilization, but also their enlightener."
"Your reputation will be unprecedented and remembered for generations to come..."
As Tang Houde listened to Xu Linna, he became more and more excited, his eyes shining with brilliant light.
He seemed to see the beautiful future that Xu Linna had described.
"Don't worry, by then, I will definitely rescue you. We will rule this new world together!"
"Become the God of Creation of this world!"
Tang Houde said, hugging Xu Linna tightly, his excitement evident.
But he didn't notice that Xu Linna, held in his arms, had no excitement in her eyes at all.
On the contrary, her gaze carried a hint of resentment and sorrow...
On the other side... below the Great Rift Valley.
The moment Zhang Chen stepped through the iron gate, a powerful suction emanated from within, beginning to extract the energy from his body.
The energy within him was being visibly and rapidly stripped away.
"Hahaha, after absorbing you, I will have the energy to suck dry the surrounding Reincarnators and all the overflowing biological energy of the apocalypse."
"Zhang Chen, you never expected it, did you? Many of the things you experienced before were merely what we wanted you to experience."
"Now... you can face your end with peace, hahahaha~"
Tang Houde's triumphant laughter came from the loudspeaker.
He felt that his silent victory lacked thrill; he needed to make his enemy annoyed and in pain to experience true happiness.
"Damn it... Xiao Ruan!"
Zhang Chen felt the energy within him rapidly peeling away, the meteorite core energy in his chest was extremely unstable, and the powerful energy was almost bursting out of his body.
At this moment, he could only place his hope in the ultimate form of Gromos.
"Guji!"
Xiao Ruan flew out and suddenly opened its eyes.
However... it was useless.
It could absorb energy from living beings, but for this machine, whose absorption principle was completely different from that of a biological organism, it had no effect at all.
On the contrary, without Zhang Chen's protection, the energy within it also began to rapidly drain.
What was even worse was that the energy from any parallel world that Xiao Ruan could connect to was far inferior to the energy of the current world.
Even the meteorite core was struggling to protect itself; other worlds were just a drop in the bucket...
