As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

“Aponia…” Alicia sighed softly as she heard Aponia’s gentle voice. “Thank you, I’m alright, but…”

At this moment, a complex expression appeared on Alicia's delicate face. Then, in a slightly bitter tone, she slowly spoke, "It seems that the fact that I possess all the memories hasn't been hidden from you after all..."

"The threads of fate have already revealed the answer to me." After Aponia finished speaking, she slowly nodded her head, a thoughtful look appearing in her deep eyes.

He then said softly, "Although I can't recall many things from the past, my memory is relatively more complete compared to my companions."

"As for the Thousand Calamities..." At this point, Aponia lowered her head slightly, clasping her snow-white hands together in a gesture of devout prayer. After a brief pause, she continued.

"Although I don't know exactly how he achieved this result, one thing is certain: he also has a bit more memories than the others."

Just then, the quiet atmosphere was broken by a sudden shout—"You two, can you please stop whispering!"

It turned out that Mebius had suddenly raised his voice, successfully drawing the attention of Aponia and Alicia to himself.

"I really don't want to say it a second time. Listen carefully, I'm going to continue." Seeing that the two people's eyes were focused on him again, Möbius sighed helplessly.

After adjusting his emotions, he continued, "My primary strategy is that if Chen Yuan does not exist in this world, then it is very likely that we can find clues about him in the quantum realm."

"This second preparation was precisely to confirm my long-held bold conjecture. To my surprise, it turned out that my guess was absolutely correct!"

At this point, Mebius cleared his throat lightly, his slightly mischievous gaze sweeping over the crowd, before dropping a bombshell.

"Whether in the pre-civilization era or in our present time, the existence of mortal connections is like an unmissable light, illuminating every timeline."

"His figure silently traverses every corner of the long river of history, becoming a solid link connecting different times and spaces."

Just then, Mebius's tone suddenly became relaxed, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

She slowly sat back down in the comfortable chair and continued her story, "No matter where Chen Yuan goes, no matter what strange people or events he encounters."

"He always unexpectedly becomes the key figure who triggers major turning points in history."

Upon hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help but repeat "history...turning point?" with a look of suspicion, and then subconsciously reached out and scratched her head.

Her once pretty face was now furrowed with confusion, and her large, bright eyes were filled with bewilderment and incomprehension.

"I feel like I'm about to grasp the key to the problem, but why do I feel like I'm in a dead end and can't find my way out?"

“Being bad at studying is really a problem! Look at you, Kaiwen. In my opinion, Mei should definitely teach you some knowledge when she has time, otherwise all of us Thirteen Heroes will be treated like fools.”

Looking at Kaiwen's bewildered expression, Möbius couldn't help but sigh again, secretly pondering how to make this fool understand.

After a brief pause, Möbius continued, "To put it this way, if we compare the world we live in to a thick book, then each of us is like a character in that book."

“From the very beginning, our starting point and our ending point seem to have been predetermined. No matter how hard we struggle, we cannot alter them with our own strength.”

As he spoke, Mebius gestured with his hands, trying to help Kevin understand the meaning more vividly.

"However, Chen Yuan seems like a completely different author. He may not have been involved in the beginning of our story."

"But whenever we face a major turning point in our lives, or when we are about to make a crucial decision, he will quietly appear."

At this point, Möbius's gaze became even more profound, as if he could see through layers of walls to the other side of fate.

"With the invisible pen in his hand, Chen Yuan can easily rewrite the ending we had already decided. He can even go further and completely overturn and rewrite the entire story. That's roughly how it is."

Like a bombshell detonated, Mebius's words, like a tidal wave, stirred up a huge uproar in the hearts of everyone except Alicia and Aponia!

Everyone stared in disbelief, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them, unsure how to respond.

"Shocked, aren't you? When I first had this thought, I even wondered if I was delirious and having wild thoughts because I was thinking about men too much," Möbius said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"However, the various materials collected by Gray Serpent, as well as conversations with Hua, and the events experienced by the Yae Sakura sisters, all corroborated each other, ultimately convincing me."

Just then, Padofilis, who had been silent all along, timidly raised her hand and said in a weak voice, "Even if what you say is true, what does that have to do with what Sister Kaiwen just said?"

In response to Padolius's words, Möbius chuckled twice. "Is there really no connection? In fact, the answer to this question has already been predetermined. At this moment, we are only faced with three possible guesses."

Everyone listened intently to Möbius's analysis. She parted her lips slightly and continued, "My first guess is that Chenyuan has perfectly preserved all the memories of our time together!"

“They are quite different from those of us whose memories are incomplete. If that is the case, then even though we are temporarily separated now, our connection remains strong.”

After a brief pause, Möbius continued, "When the time is right, fate will surely reappear before us. However, there is a second possibility."

"That is to say, the current world has never set foot in the world that belongs to us. The probability of this guess is extremely high, after all, based on the amount of information we currently have."

"Chen Yuan doesn't seem to possess the same powerful strength as he did in the pre-civilization era. And according to Hua, when Chen Yuan met Hua again, he even called Hua by the wrong name."

At this point, Möbius paused slightly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone present before continuing.

"This leads to a third speculation—although Chen Yuan knows the final outcome of our original storyline, he is currently powerless to reverse the situation and rewrite fate."

“That’s right, Master Chen, they were the ones who attacked us today.” At the hotel, Fu Hua nodded slightly, admitting it openly and without any attempt to hide it.

She continued in a calm tone, "And the person you fought fiercely with, if I'm not mistaken, should be Qian Jie."

"As for those who are hindering Colonel Himeko and me from advancing, it is Aponia." When she mentioned this, Fu Hua's expression became slightly unnatural.

She lowered her head slightly, somewhat hesitant to meet Chen Yuan's gaze. After a brief pause, she slowly added, "Actually, I wanted to rush over to help you immediately, but..."

However, before Fu Hua could finish speaking, Chen Yuan gently waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to explain any further. Then, Chen Yuan responded in a gentle tone.

"Alright, I've understood all of this. If the opponent really is Aponia, then it's understandable that you found it difficult back then. After all, with her strength, stopping your actions wouldn't be difficult for her."

Just as Chen Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. At the same time, the numerous symbiotes that had been surrounding him seemed to receive some kind of command and quickly retreated.

It then re-integrated into his body at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. At this moment, judging from Chen Yuan's thoughtful expression, he had already made a general assessment of the current situation.

Clearly, through this series of events, the latter began to realize that his future self might have taken some special actions in the pre-civilization era.

This allowed Alicia and the others to successfully traverse the long years and change that tragic ending, surviving to this day and appearing in modern civilized society.

However, one thing always lingered in Chen Yuan's mind, something he could never understand: why Qian Jie appeared in the form of a woman.

However, it seemed inappropriate to ask Fu Hua about this matter. After much thought, Chen Yuan could only attribute it to a series of butterfly effects caused by his journey to that pre-civilization.

"What exactly are those guys trying to do..." Chen Yuan murmured to himself, slowly shaking his head, then seemed to suddenly let go of a burden in his heart.

She stretched leisurely, then leaped onto the bed. 'Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore! I'll deal with whatever comes my way.'

'The most important thing right now is to get a good night's sleep and recharge...' With that, Chen Yuan closed his eyes contentedly, preparing to drift into a sweet dream.

Seeing this, Fu Hua bit her lip, reached behind her and gently pulled, causing a large wad of fabric to fall at her feet. After taking a deep breath, she slowly walked towards the bed.
