The sentimental scene always has someone to spoil it, the Soul Projection perhaps thought Qi Realm Dou Yanlan was too close to Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, so she furiously argued with Qi Realm Dou Yanlan. Their squabble even made War Qi Chen and Qi Chen feel a bit embarrassed. Noticing Qi Chen’s strange look, Dou Yanlan angrily retorted,

"What are you looking at? I didn’t have that experience."

Since it’s Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection, both sides scolded while revealing each other’s dark history. Covering his face, Feng Yuan was speechless.

Even Veronia, who was initially angry, couldn’t hold back, but thinking of some things, she couldn’t help but feel envious of the others. Turning to Feng Yuan, Veronia was straightforward and didn’t bother being polite, wondering if this guy has ever figured out the problem?

"Why are you looking at me?"

Seeing Veronia staring at him, Feng Yuan felt a bit baffled. What was the other party up to?

"Hmm, haven’t you realized the problem? Or rather, this situation now, doesn’t it have something to do with you?"

"With me? I haven’t done anything with this so-called Qi Realm, and certainly couldn’t have caused those historical events, right?"

Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan was surprised because, given his unique attribute of being Unique Throughout Time, he could assure this matter was definitely not orchestrated by him or at any point in time by himself.

"That’s hard to say, I feel this matter has something to do with you indeed."

Rolling his eyes, Veronia said sardonically, realizing that this guy genuinely had no awareness. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand what Veronia was suggesting. At this moment, even Qi Realm Dou Yanlan and her Soul Projection stopped arguing to watch.

How could this matter be related to Feng Yuan? Not only Feng Yuan, but everyone else couldn’t figure it out either. Yet Veronia didn’t seem to be joking. Could there be some hidden truth?

"If it’s merely War Qi Chen, it might be a coincidence, but when coincidences pile up, do you still think it’s a coincidence? Plus, there’s something you’ve all overlooked, Qi Realm unintentionally revealed a characteristic of being able to amend other timelines’ histories."

Without explaining directly, Veronia glanced at everyone and said lightly. Furrowing his brow, Feng Yuan realized something. Previously, they had to abandon the investigation into history being altered due to lacking clues.

But now it’s different, or rather, these matters are likely interconnected, especially with historical revisionism. The Yalmorde ritual seems very much like what the opposition aims to accomplish, or rather, it’s a part of the actual record.

Even if Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection didn’t admit it outright, they could guess what she wanted to do. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Qi Realm Dou Yanlan argued with her Soul Projection, unwilling to sacrifice Qi Chen and War Qi Chen to resurrect Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, even if it benefitted her.

Peculiar Realm Qi Chen himself certainly didn’t want that either, even if he could dismiss the parallel world versions of himself as merely similar yet different entities, he understood very well that they too had people they cared about. He didn’t want those people to experience the same as Qi Realm Dou Yanlan.

From this, it could be initially deduced that the one altering history was likely Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection, but this didn’t sit right.

Even if the Qi Realm could traverse the Time River, it itself wasn’t a Time River. In theory, it shouldn’t have the ability to interfere with time, let alone revise history of time streams.

Furthermore, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen and the Soul Projection’s unusual behaviors aren’t normal phenomena.

"If I could change history, would I need to fuss so much?! Stop trying to pin everything on me!"

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection suddenly erupted in anger, or rather, she was very dissatisfied with being accused of this matter.

Suspiciously eyeing the Soul Projection, Feng Yuan uncertainly asked,

"Could it be it wasn’t her doing?"

Hearing the incessant swearing from the Soul Projection, Feng Yuan felt like he might’ve misunderstood her, at least altering history seemed unrelated, but...

"There might be a possibility, since she and he are quite special."

Veronia glanced at War Qi Chen, speaking lightly. Seeing him turn his gaze to himself, War Qi Chen asked in confusion.

"What’s special about me?"

Neither War Qi Chen nor Bai You felt War Qi Chen had anything special, compared to Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection, War Qi Chen seemed rather normal.

"Currently, only three time streams have been exposed, and two of them are related to that battle."

Seeing the topic veering off again, Veronia had to mention a crucial clue.

"Uh, I do think some coincidences are too much, but I haven’t done anything."

Feng Yuan had contemplated this issue earlier, after all, aren’t some coincidences a bit too coincidental? But after serious thought, Feng Yuan felt there was no possibility of someone secretly orchestrating it.

"Indeed, you haven’t done anything, but if it weren’t for you getting the White Wolf Deity to summon individuals from a different time, perhaps their presence wouldn’t have appeared in the current time streams."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia found he still hadn’t realized the truth. Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan thought of something and said,

"You’re suspecting a portion of the world’s origin from the parallel world might’ve landed on them?!"

"Otherwise, you can’t explain the current situation, or rather, this seems the best explanation to me."

"But they disappeared before the parallel world’s conflict ended, so theoretically the world’s origin hadn’t fully manifested then."

That was why Feng Yuan hadn’t previously suspected a link between these events. Because they hadn’t fought alongside Feng Yuan and the others to the end, thus attributing a portion of the world’s origin from the parallel world landing on them seemed a bit far-fetched.

"Normally it wouldn’t, but I suspect the world’s achievement mechanism was triggered then. If that’s the case, isn’t it understandable if they received benefits?"

Veronia hadn’t thought about this at first, but as they gathered more intel, particularly with Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s emergence, that thought popped into her mind.

"Um... World’s achievement rewards? That’s not impossible."

It typically wouldn’t produce such things, especially without involving external wars. Given world achievement is not just anything, but a reward from the world to those of merit for it.

This means it shouldn’t appear within internal world conflicts, are you kidding? An internal war expecting world rewards? That’s daydreaming. If this situation occurred, the Main World would surely have more internal conflicts than even war timelines.

Theoretically, the parallel world battle belonged to internal strife, given the lack of external world presence playing a significant role.

However, the parallel world occupied much of the world origin, which is why the time streams only appeared after the parallel world’s battle concluded. Without sufficient world origin, time streams couldn’t emerge.

From this perspective, achievements were naturally present too.

And this also explains why two time streams featuring people familiar to Feng Yuan have appeared, as both War Qi Chen and Qi Realm Dou Yanlan took part in the parallel world battle.

As for rewards?

Glancing at Bai You, Feng Yuan seemed to understand what War Qi Chen’s reward was, perhaps it was quite a nice thing for him too.

The dead should not be easily resurrected, even if no serious repercussions exist.

As for Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, it seemed to be the Authority of the Qi Realm, yet Feng Yuan felt something was amiss because the Qi Realm Authority wasn’t in her hands but rather in her Soul Projection’s hands.

Thinking about this, Feng Yuan seemed to understand why Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection wasn’t affected by the Qi Realm’s contamination.

Because the Authority resided with Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection, she probably didn’t want to see Peculiar Realm Qi Chen contaminated either. Even if she didn’t use the Authority consciously, under subconscious influence, the situation where Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection remained unaffected still surfaced, and the personality matched the original perfectly too.

Just...

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan felt something was off, something seemed overlooked, but it seemed there wasn’t anything actually missed either...
