Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

158 Reset

Intertwining golden rays spread out to the entire world.

Kang De was stunned for a moment before he quickly rushed to the balcony of the master bedroom. He jumped up and stepped out of the window. He grabbed the hanging steel cable and exerted strength with both hands. He kicked the wall and climbed to the top of the building at an extremely fast speed.

This was already the highest place in the district. He could look down at everything around him and look at the white fog surrounding the city in the distance, but the scenery was the same. He had gotten tired of looking at it a long, long time ago.

However, today was different.

Today, there was a different scene.

Let’s put it this way—after transmigrating to the other world of swords and magic for a year, he had seen elves and killed many living beings. He had seen dazzling magic and battle aura that had been derived to the peak, but it was not until today that he saw a true grand scene.

The golden light of time continuously extended.

Kang De held his breath.

He saw the crimson scroll floating in the sky. Golden light burst out like a sun, emitting endless light and heat.

Golden strings flew everywhere and attached to the white fog. They grew like vines and gave the order to the chaos. They were still and flowing. This magical and supreme divine power obtained its form according to his understanding. It appeared as a golden dial of various sizes and quickly spread throughout the entire world.

This small world was sitting on the needle of time.

Kang De witnessed this praiseworthy and shocking scene.

He seemed to have understood something.

Not long ago, he had obtained the power of time from the scroll. Although it was only the most primitive and simple Time Acceleration, and it was only twice as fast, this was already shocking enough. What was even more shocking was that the power on the scroll had only consumed an insignificant amount, and he could no longer absorb it.

At least not now.

After discovering this, he was still wondering how powerful he had to become to absorb all the divine power on the scroll. Now, he had already found the answer.

He could not do it.

What could really carry this power was a complete world.

Kang De looked up at the golden sun floating in the air. The great divine power was changing this world. He could sense a strange change in the white fog world, and it was closely related to him.

After an unknown period of time, the golden light disappeared, and the traces of time were already engraved in this world. Kang De stretched out his hand. The scroll floated in the air and floated into his hand.

When he held the crimson scroll, a feeling of blood connection surged into his heart. Kang De could sense that the scroll had already formed an inseparable connection with the white fog world. He, who had also obtained the divine power of time and space, coexisted with these two. A strange resonance echoed between the three.

For some reason, he raised the scroll in his hand and used his new ability.

The light in his left eye turned into a golden dial.

Time Acceleration.

However, this acceleration did not accelerate his time but resonated with the wheel of time that had already fused into the white fog world. A golden light appeared on the thick white fog wall. Brilliant light spots jumped out and gathered above Kang De’s head, finally condensing into a large bell.

The crimson scroll in his hand burned with resplendent golden flames, constructing a larger Void Spirit Body formed by light. It was a long bell that was connected to the ram in the bell.

Kang De hesitated for a moment before pulling the bell rope.

The bell swayed.

There was a banging sound.

The melodious bell resounded through the world and even pierced the white fog into the distance.

This was a reminder time, which meant the flow of time. Since ancient times, people had used all kinds of methods to record time. Every tool and method was proof that time flowed forward.

Therefore, time began to flow.

In the next moment, the world turned upside down.

The world darkened, and the light dissipated. From afar, it approached. Darkness surged over like an unstoppable tide, devouring everything, stopping everything, expelling everything, and eliminating everything.

In the rolling long river, time was anchored. It moved forward and anchored the coordinates again.

Time and space were inseparable.

Therefore, the space reset.

In the void, lines of light intertwined. They were straight, horizontal, and intertwined into a square geometry. New substances were mapped from the anchor point of time.

A new order was constructed in the darkness.

With Kang De as the center, countless intertwining lights constructed a new space. The order that had returned spread in all directions. Light returned. Under his feet was the roof, above his head was the sky, and in all directions was the world he was familiar with. In the distance was the eternal white fog. Buildings, ground, cars, air, and everything appeared again in a way that Kang De could not understand but was shocked.

The world was reconstructed.

It was like a virtual dream.

However, this was not the result of an electronic program, but the most mysterious and greatest power in this world.

Kang De looked down from the roof at the main road below.

“The world has been reset…”

He muttered, “No, it’s refreshed…”

The time and space divine power from the King of the Gods, Akatum, re-anchored the coordinates of time and reconstructed the white fog world with the spatial divine power. All of this really happened.

This was because the car on the main road below was different from the last time he saw it.

All the consumed resources had been replenished, and there might even be a new surprise because the white fog world was a time point replicated in the real world. Different cars passed by every day.

Kang De looked at the car below in a daze.

This should be… good news.

It was good news, completely good news. This meant that the problem of many consumables was no longer a problem. In fact, in the future, when he saw the American military base, he would feel even better.

The potential and benefits were really too great.

It was something that made Kang De very happy.

It even made him ignore the change in his right eye. After the dial of his left eye, the flames in his right eye had also changed. They were complicated and changing lines and multifaceted bodies that formed a scene with complicated beauty and endless change. Just like the dimension of space, they were endless and untouchable.

That was the symbol of spatial power.

After personally witnessing the change in time and space, another power from the Dragon of Time and Space was awakened. As for what the ability of space was, he did not know yet—Kang De did not even discover it.

He only thought that this ability was really impressive.

For example, if he bought a house beside the nuclear arsenal and opened a map, he would have many, many mushrooms. Then, he would activate his ability to reset the world. He would have many, many mushroom clouds—although he could not activate them and they were useless.

However, there were still many mushrooms.

Then, what about the others?

Kang De’s breathing became a little rapid.

The white fog world could replicate everything in the real world. It was already very shocking. It could even reset the world through the power of time and space of Akatum and achieve the effect of multiple replications. Such an ability was simply unreasonable, and he was not only worried about this.

Instead, it was something else.

For example… the price.

“Even the King of the Gods can’t do these things without any restrictions…” Kang De muttered, “Even the so-called gods, even if they don’t abide by the law of conservation of energy, they should abide by the law of conservation of divine power… What is being consumed to reset the world?”

The golden bell had already disappeared. The scroll returned to his hand. Kang De focused and felt that be it the time and space divine power that had fused into the world or the remaining power of the scroll, it did not seem to have been consumed.

He did not believe that Akatum was so terrifying. The divine power on a mere scroll could casually play with the timeline of a world without consumption.

In other words… it consumed other things.

—Could it be my lifespan?

Kang De was shocked and immediately took out his phone to shine it at him through the screen. To his relief, things like stars appearing at his temples did not happen, but he naturally noticed the change in his right eye—it was a pattern change that was simpler and more complicated than a kaleidoscope.

“It’s even more flashy…”

Kang De muttered to himself, “From the looks of it, the crimson scroll is a gift. While giving me new strength, it can also modify the white fog world through divine power… Then what’s the personal ability related to space?”

“…”

“…”

He did not know.

Be it teleportation, compression, or the spatial slash, he did not know how to do it.

“D*mn…”

—You didn’t even give me the manual and even let me figure it out myself?

Forget it, forget it.

Kang De sat on the ground on the roof and digested this huge change and information.

“Calm down, don’t be too excited. Think about things in an orderly manner…”

He muttered to himself, “I have to first determine what I want to do and see how helpful my new ability is… Time Acceleration can allow me to fight more efficiently, and the world reset…”

It meant endless resources that could never be exhausted.

This was suspicious because Kang De’s cautious personality made him think that the power to anchor time and reset space was definitely not without consumption. He had to use this power carefully until he figured out what it consumed.

However, once or twice should not be a problem.

He took out a dagger and carved it on the ground.

“In the long run, I have to help Goethe repel the elves and protect the knight’s country. Of course, there have been new missions recently. Tina created big news. It’s a Ponzi scheme. To think that this girl can do it…”

“This matter is a huge hidden danger. I can’t think of a good solution either. I can either kill all the victims or really create a useless treasure in their own game. In any case, I’ve already done it once on the Holy Seal Islands. The current me is far stronger than the previous me. Moreover, I have the ability to reset time. I might be able to resolve this… Moreover, the crimson scroll of Tedrell might give me a new ability…”

“However, this is still a long-term problem. We have to defeat the elves first.”

“The problem now is Valentine City…”

“Should I help them defend the city?”

He hesitated for a moment but could not make up his mind.

Tina had led the volunteer army into Goethe and could fight the elves at any time. She had roped in a huge army through deception and interacted with those greedy nobles and businessmen every day. She also had to deal with the open and secret attacks from the elves and the Empire. In terms of emotions and selfishness, Kang De really wanted to see her immediately. After all, he had come all the way from the Holy Seal Islands. It would be a lie to say that he did not have a good impression of Tina.

Tina claiming that he was her husband… made him often smile foolishly.

Leona also thought that he should rush to Tina’s side as soon as possible.

However, the tragic scene of the slaughtered village kept appearing in his mind.

He promised the knight to protect Goethe.

He did not know if abandoning a city that was about to face the elves violated his conscience’s promise. He did not know if he was responsible for the safety of Hong San and the others. There did not seem to be a need for this, but Leona was completely innocent and had even sacrificed a lot for Tina. If there was really no other way, he would leave her here.

“I have more strength now. Can I do more…”

Yes, he could reset the white fog world. By buying houses, he could expand map. These abilities combined could unleash a terrifying effect. Let’s put it this way. If he lived in Japan and beside the American base on Okinawa, the elves would basically be finished…

However…

Kang De stood up and looked at the crimson scroll in his hand. The divine power of Akatum surged in his body. To be able to anchor time and reset the world was an unimaginably powerful force, but…

“But I keep feeling…”

He muttered, “Apart from that, I seem to be able to do more… Or rather, more useful and powerful methods of use. I haven’t discovered them yet…”

It was the problem of not having an instruction manual again.

Kang De tried for a long time but still had no clue.

Forget it, think about it slowly. It was useless to be anxious.

He put away the crimson scroll and returned home with the steel cable. “I’ve gained a lot. I obtained a lot of money from Leona and can use it to buy a house. I don’t have to live off Old Wang. Although I’m still a little suspicious of living off Leona,… F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”

He walked from the balcony to the master bedroom and looked at the bed. Then, his eyes widened. The two boxes filled with Leona’s gifts that he had brought back from the other world had already turned to ashes as if they had experienced Thanos’s snap.

“It’s been reset! AHHHHHHHH!”

Just like the time he had just returned to Earth, the world had also reset. The large number of treasures picked up from the Goode family had all turned to dust, leaving only some items that contained magic power.

“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck…”

Kang De went crazy for a while before slowly calming down.

Money… Wasn’t it just money? Money was nothing. Old Wang had plenty, Leona had plenty, Valentine City had plenty, and the elves had plenty. He could either live off women or snatch them. What was the big deal?

Oh, right. The world had reset, and so had the gold in the bank.

What was there to be afraid of?

He tried his best to convince himself and barely calmed down.

In the end, the gains were far greater than the losses. It was only a little gold.

Thinking of this, he went to his room and took out the handmade radio he had made with Old Wang when he was young. He went to a restaurant downstairs and carried out a gasoline generator, along with a lot of gasoline. Then, he went to the club to get some weapons and ammunition. Then, he activated his ability and returned to the other world.

He wanted to use the radio to contact his iron son.

Be it leaving or fighting, it was impossible without its help.
