Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 238 The Past Collapses
The news of the shocking changes in the Modern Foundation spread throughout the world within just one hour.

First, a doomsday-level monster appeared in the Modern Building, the headquarters of the Modern Corporation and known as the world's tallest building. Then, the Modern Building was split in half by a laser shot down from space. Finally, nine magic annihilation missiles belonging to the Modern Corporation were detonated in the air, leaving the ground contaminated by magic energy.

This series of world-shocking news quickly spread throughout the world with the help of some people with ulterior motives.

For a time, the stock prices of Modern Group and its subsidiaries plummeted, and the entire financial industry fell into chaos.

The rest of the companies and chaebols took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Modern Group and seize its market share.

Just when everyone thought that this was just an unexpected feast, an even more shocking news came.

Most of the top executives of the Modern Consortium died in the turmoil, and the consortium's helmsman Zeke also disappeared in the underground base for unknown reasons.

It can be said that the entire Modern Consortium is now like a headless fly. The remaining members of the Modern Family are attacking each other, trying to get their hands on the throne of the head of the consortium, and those senior executives who are not family members also have different intentions.

"They are no longer a monolithic entity. If we take a piece of the Modern Consortium, we can become a world-class company in due course!"

Under the guidance of this idea, the major corporate tycoons that were already attacking the Modern Foundation became even more crazy, and even launched armed attacks on its bases around the world to seize scientific and technological information.

Although they all knew who was the culprit behind all this, their own interests came first, and the fact that they were all a loose group meant that no one intended to deal with Chen Xingzhi, who caused all this, even though the top leaders of some forces had been assassinated by people he sent out not long ago.

Chaos is beginning to emerge. If it weren't for the association's constraints and the technology of time reversal, the situation would have become even worse.

Even so, the frequent armed conflicts and civilian casualties every day make the association feel increasingly overwhelmed.

"Look at what that guy named Xuanjun has done. It turns out that none of these evil demons from the Sea of ​​Origin are good people." The one-eyed old man pounded his desk angrily. "I have never encountered such a heavy workload as today in my life!"

"Uh, President, the elves also came from the Sea of ​​Origin." The staff officer on the side reminded in a low voice.

"So what if they're elves? They're not good people either." The old man glared at him, and he immediately retracted his head in fear.

Just when the old man was about to take a break, an intelligence officer suddenly brought him some bad news.

"President, not long ago, a small-scale armed conflict broke out in the third district of S City. The two parties in the conflict were two unidentified companies."

The old man waved his hands and said helplessly: "Isn't this the norm in recent times? Just follow the standard procedures."

"However, in that area, our time-reversal method is ineffective."

As soon as the intelligence officer finished speaking, the old man stood up with his brows twisted into a "川" shape and his eyes were squeezed so tightly that they were almost invisible.

When he mentioned that the time reversal was ineffective, he thought of the repeated setbacks he had encountered before and the invincible enemy.

"Is it Lord Xuan who has taken action again?" he asked with a serious expression.

"Uh, no, there is no sign that it was Xuanjun who did it."

"Oh, I see." The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of something and couldn't help but widen his one eye, "You mean, those two companies used some method to make time travel ineffective?!"

If this is true, then things will get serious.

According to Article 145 of the "World Peace Treaty", no force may use "time reversal invalidation technology" in a conflict. Although it has basically no binding force on outsiders, companies within the world basically abide by this provision, and even if they want to use it, they do so secretly.

There have only been two times in history when this rule was ignored by all forces, namely the First and Second Corporate Wars.

"I remember that before the outbreak of those two company wars, some forces violated the rules and used forbidden techniques in direct conflicts, which ultimately led to large-scale wars."

The old man's long-lost memories were awakened. He remembered the days when he was a soldier in a certain company and remembered those difficult and terrible years.

"Well, President, it may not be what you think." The intelligence officer interrupted his recollection awkwardly, "According to the on-site survey of analysts, there are no traces of the use of time-reversal invalidation technology in the conflict area." "You mean, all this happened spontaneously?"

"Yes, of course, there is another more terrifying possibility, that is, the time-reversal technology has failed on its own."

The intelligence officer's words dispelled the old man's idea of ​​resting. His expression became more solemn, his eyes lowered, he pondered for a moment, and gave instructions:

"Now use the time reversal technique a few times to see if this technique still works."

The intelligence officers and staff officers immediately took off the small objects on their bodies, threw them on the ground at random, mobilized their magic power, constructed a time-reversal spell, and tried to use this spell.

The first time, the staff officer succeeded, the other one didn't.

The second time, both succeeded, but there was a slight delay in the response of the technique.

The third time, the fourth time.
Until the magic power of both of them was exhausted, they each constructed fifteen time-reversal spells, but the total number of successes was only seventeen, and the time required for the spell to respond was getting longer and longer.

"This, this isn't right? I was able to use it basically at will before, why is it like this now?" the staff officer asked puzzledly.

The old man said something strange in a deep voice: "Perhaps, it is time for us to pay the price."

"Instruct the R&D department to conduct an urgent study on this phenomenon and have them submit a report as soon as possible."

The intelligence officer left with his orders, and the old man sat back in his chair, sighing deeply.

"I hope it's not the worst outcome I thought."

"The past is collapsing."

Chen Xingzhi strolled in an uninhabited desert, his scarlet pupils reflecting the past of the entire desert, and a long, ferocious dragon shadow was left behind him.

He sensed unusual fluctuations echoing in the desert, and in order to find out the cause of this abnormal event, he personally arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation.

What he didn't expect was that the cause behind this abnormal fluctuation was very unusual, and it could even be said to determine the direction of the world.

In his eyes, the past time of this area was gradually collapsing into chaos, and even the time reversal technology could not rewind the time of the current area.

In addition, the collapse of the past is spreading outward. At this rate, in less than three months, the entire planet's timeline belonging to the past will completely collapse, and the time reversal technology will then be completely ineffective.

What's even more terrifying is that the collapse spreads not only horizontally, but also vertically. Although the speed of vertical collapse is not that fast, it also means that the entire timeline will sooner or later turn into complete chaos.

Chen Xingzhi had no idea what would happen at that time.

After all, this was not his fault, but the result of the reckless use of time reversal by humans in this world.

"No, if you think about it this way, maybe that group of elves are the masterminds behind this."

The time-reversal technology was obtained from the elves. It is very likely that the elves had already anticipated this consequence and deliberately spread the technology.

"Then why are they deliberately spreading this technology?"

Chen Xingzhi was thinking in his heart, and suddenly stopped and lowered his eyes to look at the ground.

Inside an underground base, there was another thing that attracted him, and that was also the second goal of his trip.
