I can rewind time to prevent death

The car had originally been destroyed by Yao Long's magnetic storm, but now it's parked here unscathed, indicating that everything has changed.

With new memories entering his mind, Yan Junze roughly understood the new course of history's development.

There weren't many people in the car, only Zhang Xiaomo.

Yao Long, Ku Zai, and Xiang Er were nowhere to be seen; in the new timeline, they never came to Huaying District and are still near the Science and Technology University in Tianmeng District.

Zhang Xiaomo sat in the passenger seat, scrolling through her phone as usual. After Yan Junze returned to the driver's seat, she finally said, "Why did you suddenly need a bathroom break? There's no restroom nearby."

Yan Junze felt awkward and replied casually, "Maybe I drank too much water in the morning."

Zhang Xiaomo put away her phone, turned to look at him, and smiled, "Hurry to the supermarket, today we'll buy some good food. My dad's cooking, and you're in for a treat!"

In the current timeline, Yan Junze was invited by Zhang Chengjing and his wife to come to Huaying District to have a family meal with Zhang Xiaomo, and incidentally discuss meeting both families' parents.

According to tradition, this is something the man's family should actively pursue, so Yan Junze also informed Yan Daguo and Li Man.

Yan Daguo and Li Man were initially taken aback at their son's early stage of having a girlfriend and discussing marriage, but since their son was unique, not walking the usual path, they gladly accepted.

Moreover, Zhang Chengjing was a high-ranking member of the Huaying Exorcist Brigade, and his family background was much better than theirs. Their son winning over their daughter made Yan Daguo feel dignified.

Without the incident involving the True Word Demon, the Spacetime Atlas in Yan Junze's mind remained unrestricted by any time or space, having its own independent existence.

At this moment, the upper limit of the Spacetime Atlas still reached over 130,000, almost 140,000.

It could be seen that most nodes in the entire Atlas were lit, and lighting all nodes was merely a matter of time.

Currently, among exorcists, only Huaying Great Capital and Japan Great Capital were at their peak, with the God of Death Papasa and Reapers Jeffrey and Payne in Olay Great Capital all dead, leading to its complete decline and severe chaos among various Demon Hunter Groups, losing control.

In the USA Great Capital, Reapers Morrison and Valerie were also dead—Morrison killed by Yan Junze using Dark Poison, and Valerie taken out by the True Word Barrier of the True Word Demon.

Valerie Walker was the sister of Landon Walker, the God of Death of the USA Great Capital, and their family's unique genetics produced the most powerful exorcists in that Great Capital.

However, the USA Great Capital had completely declined now.

The God of Death, Akira Kamiya, in Japan Great Capital was seriously injured and had gone into complete hiding, no longer showing himself, and only Huaying Great Capital seemed almost unaffected.

At the largest supermarket in Huaying District, they bought groceries, especially some fresh seafood. Upon returning home, Zhang Chengjing cooked several signature dishes.

In the evening, the family gathered around the table, eating and chatting.

The new memories told Yan Junze that during this time, it could be considered a peaceful world. Since sending the True Word Demon back to its hometown, there had been no more trouble.

The time for visiting the Yan family's parents was actually discussed with his parents before Yan Junze arrived, and when he mentioned it to Zhang Chengjing and his wife, surprisingly, they already planned to travel to Tianmeng soon.

This meant that the couple could stop by Shuntian City and meet Yan Junze's parents.

For Yan Junze, ever since being reborn into this world, he had grown accustomed to coexisting with strangenesses, from initial discomfort, internal resistance, and opposition to eventually being able to calmly view things, to the point of truly beginning his exorcism journey with a Zen-like Exorcism Method.

Honestly, this lifestyle had become a part of him, and if it weren't for a little anticipation of fully unlocking the Spacetime Atlas, he would feel that perhaps the way things were now was the path he would walk for the rest of his life.

Even now, a thought occasionally popped up in Yan Junze's mind that, even if the Spacetime Atlas could be fully opened, and indeed allowed him to return to any space and time.

Perhaps, he would still hesitate about whether to choose to go back.

At this moment, in his current body, to this strangeness-filled world, Yan Junze had developed a certain fondness.

When this thought emerged, Yan Junze would quickly force himself to forget it, not wanting to think about it, not wanting to be bothered by it.

After the meal, he and Zhang Xiaomo returned to Tianmeng from Huaying District, and since he had already arranged for a leave of absence from school, Yan Junze was temporarily at the disposal of the Tianmeng Exorcist Team.

In the following month, he took on two exorcism missions in cities under Tianmeng's jurisdiction, successfully completing them with a Zen-style Exorcism Method.

Checking the time for Zhang Chengjing and his wife's planned visit to Tianmeng, Yan Junze went to the vicinity of the Science and Technology University to gather Xiang Er, Ku Zai, and the Magnetic Pile Monster Yao Long, along with Zhang Xiaomo, renting a business vehicle to head to Shuntian City.

...

Huaying District, in the alley where the garbage bin was placed.

Behind a giant green bin, there originally existed a space-time rift, but the position where the rift had weakened and disappeared over time.

A light spot revealed itself from the Void, where the space-time rift had been, falling to the ground, bouncing twice, like a solid object.

When it stopped rolling, it gradually began to grow, slowly forming a human silhouette.

The figure knelt on the ground in a proper posture.

But gradually, the figure started moving, its curled-back slowly straightening, lifting its head.

It was apparent that this was a male, appearing to be a young man.

By evening that day.

Tianmeng District, Minjian Road, Prosperous Age Mall.

Residents living near the mall and the shopkeepers vividly remembered, because at the escalator corner on the mall's second floor, there had previously been a malicious struggle between exorcists.

This incident also involved an exorcist from the USA Great Capital, many ordinary people had heard, a high-ranking exorcist from the USA had died on the second floor of the mall for some strange reason.

After the incident, Prosperous Age Mall closed for a period, only reopening about a week later.

At this moment, the time was late, and the mall had long been closed.

Near the escalator corner on the second floor, a spot where a spacetime rift had appeared before, suddenly a light spot appeared.

This light spot was rather dim, unable to be detected even by surveillance.

Soon, this light spot fell onto the smooth floor of the mall's second floor, slid forward for a while, and then slowly stopped.

The light spot began to quickly reshape, like a humanoid, reverently kneeling on the ground.

After an indeterminate amount of time, this human form slowly lifted its head, its silhouette appeared similar to the young man who had appeared behind the trash bin in the Huaying District alley.

Although the facial features were rather fuzzy, upon close comparison, the features were identical.

Crack!

Tianmeng District, outskirts of Shuntian City, at a three-way intersection on Zhulin Road near Shuntian City.

Another light spot fell from where a space-time rift had originally appeared.

And this space-time rift had once been in a severely weak state when Yan Junze crossed inside to rescue the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er mother-daughter.

Soon, the light spot again transformed into a human shape, kneeling on the ground.

Crack!

Tianmeng District, Jian Family compound.

In the courtyard of "Jian Tong," whose name sounds the same as "Jian Tong," in the front yard near the bonsai area, a light spot fell onto the ground.

It quickly transformed into a kneeling human shape.

Crack!

The pine forest behind Tianmeng Science University.

Between two pine trees, where a space-time rift had once appeared, it was also where Yan Junze first detected a space-time rift.

The fifth light spot appeared, fell into the soil, forming that familiar kneeling silhouette.
