I can rewind time to prevent death

A murky, fearful, and irresistible aura flooded into Yan Junze's body, and his whole body suddenly went limp, thumping as he fell forward to his knees.

Although he was unsure how effective physical blows were against the soft, squishy Clay Monster, at this critical juncture, he had to try regardless.

Just as he was about to unleash the Black Spirit Mallet, a loud shout came from behind him: "Hey! You son of a bitch! Here, I'm over here!"

The grip on Yan Junze's head immediately relaxed, and the sticky arm withdrew; he instantly turned around and saw Ku Zai, who had somehow gotten out of the car and was standing in front of it, waving his arms towards their direction.

Clearly, the Magnetic Shielding Clothes Ku Zai was wearing had been turned off.

The Clay Monster extended its black and sticky tongue, licking its lips with an uncontainable excitement emerging, emitting a cacophonous cackle as it slithered toward Ku Zai.

"Brother Yan, hurry!"

Ku Zai, spotting the Clay Monster advancing towards him, immediately shouted a warning to Yan Junze and began to back away.

But to the Clay Monster, his retreat was practically an invitation.

Hearing Ku Zai's warning, Yan Junze didn't hesitate, scrambling to roll off the road and tumble down the embankment in the nick of time.

At that moment, a mission completion message suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Special Attraction, Terrified (Low), has been completed, 1600 points of Different Dimension Energy awarded]

"This mission completion message is..."

Yan Junze paused, then realized it must mean that Xiang Er had killed the white-haired old lady at Qishan Public Cemetery.

He hadn't expected the white-haired old lady's mission level to have reached "Terrified (Low)"; no wonder Xiang Er felt so irritated upon encountering her.

Now, Yan Junze just hoped that Xiang Er was unharmed.

Of course, he didn't expect Xiang Er to be able to come to their aid so swiftly; with Ku Zai turning off his Magnetic Shielding Clothes and luring the Clay Monster away, they were in a moment of extreme peril.

Although not as formidable as the white-haired old lady, the Clay Monster was still quite strong, as evidenced by its brief standstill with Xiang Er before.

To get out of this situation, it was up to Yan Junze alone, he needed to enter the Space-Time Rift as quickly as possible.

Seeing the Clay Monster closing in on him, Ku Zai immediately pressed the activation button on his shielding garment.

The Clay Monster was taken aback, suddenly perceiving Ku Zai as a complete stranger and, with a low growl, it changed direction, rapidly rolling back towards Yan Junze.

"Shit, this won't do!"

Ku Zai didn't know how long Yan Junze would be delayed, so he couldn't allow the Clay Monster to interfere or, worse, kill him.

Having attracted the Clay Monster himself, he couldn't let his actions draw its wrath upon others.

With this thought in mind, Ku Zai once again turned off his Magnetic Energy Clothing. The Clay Monster abruptly stopped, inhaling the familiar scent and immediately turned around, greedily charging at Ku Zai once again.

This time, the creature stretched out its arms, gripping Ku Zai's shoulders tightly, causing a sudden numbness in his arms that sapped his strength.

At once, the Clay Monster brought its body closer, turning the arms grasping Ku Zai's shoulders into a mass of flowing clay, which snaked towards Ku Zai's mouth, forcing it agape.

The Clay Monster itself transformed into a stream of dark soil, hurtling towards Ku Zai's wide-open mouth, aiming to repeat its earlier feat and force its body inside Ku Zai once more.

Then Yan Junze's voice reached him, "Ku Zai, hold on! Even if it's just for one more second!"

Below the embankment.

He had spent 1000 points to initiate [Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion].

A message immediately flashed into his mind.

[Space-Time Rift detected, insertion possible, initiate Butterfly Effect Stabilization simultaneously?]

"Initiate," he replied.

In the void before him, a narrow crack appeared.

This rift was much smaller than the Space-Time Rifts Yan Junze had previously seen, with inadequate width and slender length. A misty radiance twinkled around the seams, an indication of its unstable nature.

It was a typical Space-Time Rift in its final stage of decay.

Yan Junze didn't give it another thought; he bent down, hunched his back, and plunged headlong into the rift.
