Coming Back

The Domain of Chaos slowly dissipated, and the cold moonlight once again fell upon the earth.

Ye Chuan looked at his own palm.

To be honest, he really did prefer things to be a bit bigger, especially those he couldn't quite grasp.

But this wasn't the time to talk about that.

Holding the weightless little girl in his arms, Ye Chuan looked down at her pale face and gently wiped the wet tear stains from the corners of her eyes.

He could clearly feel that the Demon King's origin within Angelina's body had been completely extracted, leaving only the pure aura of an ordinary little girl deep within her soul.

Those memories of the Demon Race and the destruction of the world were sealed away in the depths of chaos, along with the power of the Demon King.

Ye Chuan had absorbed the Demon King's power, though he wasn't sure what changes would occur to his own power of chaos.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

The once-thriving town of Yisu had long been turned into scorched earth. The continuous mountain ranges were sliced in half, the streams had dried up, the vegetation was reduced to ash, and not a single trace of life could be seen for a hundred miles around.

The residual might of the Demon King's power still lingered in the air, carrying an icy aura of death.

"The Succubus Brothel..."

"Ah..."

Looking as though he were lamenting Old Ma, Ye Chuan scratched his hair, stopping just short of crying out, Old Ma, oh Old Ma.

Ye Chuan sighed softly.

Then, he reached out his hand, feeling the origin of his chaotic power.

The moment he absorbed the Demon King's power, that sliver of the origin of time he had refined finally awakened completely.

He could clearly feel the flow of time, see fragments of the past, and reverse everything that had already happened!

[You can now use the Authority of Time to freely manipulate the time of the Aether Continent. Cooldown: 100 days]

[You have acquired a new identity: Demon King]

[You have acquired a new identity: Demon King Hero?]

"Hiss." Ye Chuan hadn't expected such a series of new changes, but what he cared about more was the Authority of Time.

Freely manipulating time—

That is to say.

"Let's change it back, then."

Ye Chuan, holding Angelina, slowly levitated into mid-air.

He reached out his hand, and a soft, silvery-white light glowed in his palm. That was the color of time.

"Resurrect, my... Succubus Brothel (super loud)!!!!"

The silvery-white light spread outwards like a tide.

Wherever the light passed, time began to flow backward!

The scorched earth reverted to fertile soil, shattered rocks flew into the air and pieced together into complete mountains;

The dried streams surged once more, the clear spring water babbling;

In the distance, on that flat expanse of scorched earth, shattered rubble began to fly in reverse, wooden houses rose from the ground one by one, and curling smoke rose from the chimneys once again.

Dissipated souls were pulled back by time, people lying on the ground stood up again, the bakery uncle continued hawking his wheat cakes, Mayor Lawrence strolled down the street leaning on his cane, and the girls from the Succubus Brothel smiled as they saw off their last guest.

Everything returned to how it was before the Demon King swung her sword.

Yisu Town was still that peaceful and harmonious border town, as if that world-destroying battle had never happened.

"This fierce?" Ye Chuan hadn't expected the power of the Authority of Time to far exceed his imagination.

"It's back, the town is all back," Ye Chuan sighed with emotion.

He had thought it would only resurrect things at most.

"But... I'm the boss of the Succubus Brothel?" Ye Chuan suddenly realized the crucial point.

And then...

Ye Chuan took out his phone and took a look.

[Sub-branch Mission: Acquire the Succubus Brothel (Completed)]

He didn't expect the mission to actually be completed.

And it rewarded five Tenant Cards. Not only that, Ye Chuan also gained free control over the Succubus Brothel, able to bring succubi back to the Myriad Worlds Apartment as he pleased.

Furthermore, all tenants received a succubus skin, which was an exclusive outfit like Lan Xiaoke's, adding attack speed and critical hit rate.

"Not bad..." Ye Chuan muttered.

Carrying Angelina, Ye Chuan appeared at the gate of his own courtyard.

The swing in the yard was still gently swaying, the living room lights were on, and the unfinished potato and beef stew was still on the dining table. Everything was exactly the same as when he left.

He carried Angelina into the living room and gently placed her on the soft sofa.

Then he reached out, a faint white light glowing at his fingertips, and gently tapped Angelina's forehead.

The memories belonging to the Demon King, the memories of that battle, and the memories belonging to Satania were all carefully erased by him.

He only left behind those warm, everyday memories belonging to Angelina and Ye Chuan.

He didn't want her to bear anything heavy anymore; he just wanted her to forever be that carefree little girl.

After doing all this, Ye Chuan sat next to the sofa, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

About an hour later, Angelina's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She blinked blankly, looking at the familiar living room ceiling, then turned to look at Ye Chuan beside her, her small face full of confusion:

"Ye Chuan? I... how did I fall asleep here?"

She remembered that she had clearly made dinner and was waiting for Ye Chuan to return, then she felt a bit sleepy and dozed off on the sofa...

But why did her head hurt a little, and her body feel sore, as if she had run a very long way?

Ye Chuan looked into her clear blue eyes. There was no trace of gloom in them, only pure confusion and reliance.

He revealed a gentle smile and reached out to rub her long white hair. "You, you were sleepwalking."

"Sleepwalking?" Angelina froze for a moment and touched her head. "Did I sleepwalk again?"

"Yes." Ye Chuan nodded, his tone as natural as could be.

"When I came back, I saw you asleep. I guess you've just been too tired lately, that's why."

Angelina nodded, half-understanding.

She did feel a bit tired, as if she had a very, very long nightmare. In the dream, there were black wings, burning flames, and a very scary voice calling her Lord Demon King.

But waking up now, she had completely forgotten the contents of the dream, leaving only a vague palpitation.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble again," she lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly.

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?" Ye Chuan smiled and pinched her cheek, then seemed to realize something.

[New Tenant: Demon King

The strongest Demon King born of the times on the Aether Continent, possessing the magic of death. Every living thing she touches will...]

[Tenant Quality: A]

[...]

Ye Chuan realized a problem.

It seemed Angelina could no longer move in as the Demon King.

"Angelina isn't the Demon King anymore... Then can I use my authority to find that original Demon King? And then force her to become a tenant?" Ye Chuan felt that time was indeed a very troublesome thing.

No wonder Lilith wouldn't let him touch the laws of time.
