It's time to take a good look.

And so he began to wander between different universes, aimlessly drifting.

When he gets tired, he stays in some city in some world and lives there for a while.

During this time, he used his spiritual power to create all the familiar faces from his memories.

Parents, younger brother, younger sister, Lu Baizhi, Lu Xining, Yan Keke, Yin, Yu Xuezhao, Tina... However, even with a near one-to-one replica, he didn't feel like interacting with these people much.

He knew that this was just a false sense of self-satisfaction.

He quickly stopped the puppets from moving.

He sat on the steps of the courtyard and stared blankly for many years.

One day, a brother and sister dressed in shabby clothes broke into his mansion, followed by men who were chasing them.

With a single glance, Fan Xiao saw through everyone's true intentions and understood the grudges between them.

He originally didn't intend to pay any attention, but the people chasing him targeted him for elimination. So, with a single glance, all the rude people died, and he indirectly saved the brother and sister.

And so, the clever brother and sister stayed in the mansion, becoming servants and taking care of his life.

Fan Xiao didn't interact with them and remained lost in thought.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and ten years have passed in a flash.

The brother and sister had both grown up. The brother had become stronger, avenged himself, returned to the mansion, knelt and kowtowed three times before him, and then left to begin his own life.

His sister stayed behind and continued to serve him. Every day, she would wear a beautiful dress, clean the mansion, and then sit next to him, watching him and telling him all sorts of interesting stories.

Five years later, facing him who was as hard as stone, the younger sister gave up with tears in her eyes, knelt down to him like her brother had, and then left as well.

Soon after, two invitations arrived at the mansion. Both the brother and sister had new families and hoped he could attend their weddings.

Fan Xiao still ignored him.

Some time later, three young people visited his mansion and handed him two keepsakes, one from his brother and the other from his sister.

My brother's keepsake is a powerful A-rank item;

My sister's last possession was a peace pendant, with words engraved inside wishing him a lifetime of peace and happiness.

"Sir, this is something that my grandfather and great-aunt instructed us to give to you before they passed away."

"..."

Fan Xiao took the two relics, held them in his palm and looked at them for a while, his eyes somewhat dazed.

His psychic powers activated, and he knew the answer.

It turns out that these three people are descendants of that brother and sister.

It turns out that he had been sitting in this mansion in a daze for over a hundred years.

He didn't even know the names of the brother and sister.

……

The three visitors left, and Fan Xiao got up and walked to the mansion's warehouse. He broke the seal and looked at the dolls he had created more than a hundred years ago... There were no more dolls; the warehouse was filled with dust.

His spiritual power, which he hadn't consciously maintained, had long since vanished, and even the puppets had disappeared.

Fan Xiao closed the warehouse, carefully put away the two relics, and stepped forward to the tombstone of the brother and sister.

The older brother's name is Kailo, and the younger sister's name is Sophia.

Fan Xiao remained silent for a moment, then placed a bouquet of flowers in front of each of the two tombstones.

Then, his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Fan Xiao continued his wandering.

When I get tired, I choose a city to live in for a while. After all the people I've known briefly have died, I set off to leave and continue my wandering.

During this process, he witnessed the lives of many people.

It witnessed many interesting historical events.

It witnessed the joys and sorrows of humankind.

After wandering for an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt mechanically exhausted and felt that the human world seemed to have lost its meaning. So he stopped wandering and went to the center of the primordial universe to find Anna.

For no other reason than to talk to this only "acquaintance".

result……

He only learned when he got there that Anna had committed suicide more than a hundred years ago.

It wasn't suicide in the true sense, but rather a voluntary abandonment of maintaining consciousness, a return to chaotic depravity, turning into a monster driven only by instinct, guarding the timeline.

Anna did not start a new life.

She ended her own life.

Fan Xiao suddenly recalled something Anna had said to him more than a hundred years ago when he was saying goodbye: "Talk to me a little longer."

Anna's purpose in saying this was not to persuade him, but simply to make a request and to have a more conversation with this "acquaintance".

Just like him now.

Anna ultimately couldn't escape the darkness of her past, nor could she bask in the sunlight and begin her new life.

The sunlight was far too blinding for the darkness.

If life has no goals, is there no meaning to living...? Fan Xiao's gaze pierced through the timeline, taking one last look at the monster Anna before leaving the center of the universe.

Now, he's alone again.

……

Fan Xiao began to sleep.

A long slumber.

Sometimes when he wakes up, he thinks that maybe one day he will close his eyes and fall asleep forever.

Could that be death?

He doesn't care.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Even after becoming a monster, Anna didn't stop getting stronger, while his authority was still inferior to Anna's, and his rate of growth was also slower.

Under the suppression of the timeline by the instincts left behind by Anna, he can never return to his own era, nor find his own home.

If that's the case, what does it matter anymore?

He is tired.

All he wants to do right now is sleep.

Theoretically, everything should have proceeded in this manner.

However, after waking up one day, Fan Xiao discovered that... he had actually traveled back in time!

I've traveled back to my own era!

He was certain this was no dream.

After some time, he finally figured out what was going on—it turned out that he had unknowingly inherited God's legacy.

Anna did not completely kill God; a part of God, through the connection between the evolution game and him, merged into his conceptual body.

Now, after a long period of slumber, this power has finally awakened.

He became able to use the power of the gods.

His use of the technique was not like Anna's, which involved a forced fusion, but rather a very natural and perfect application. In this respect, he surpassed Anna.

Therefore, during his slumber, his instincts propelled this power, allowing him to travel through countless years with his consciousness, arriving in this long-lost era and descending upon himself in this era.

He is back.

Finally home.

Fan Xiao was overjoyed... Logically speaking, he should have been overjoyed.

However, this is not the case.

He wasn't particularly excited.

He didn't receive any surprises beyond his wildest expectations, not even the slightest one he had imagined.

This sense of contradiction made him uneasy.

He carefully returned to his home in Ancheng—the home where his parents, younger brother, and younger sister were still alive.

"Brother? Wow... Brother, you've finally decided to come home!" Song Yu greeted him excitedly.

"You silly child, I've been calling you for so long and you didn't come. Why did you suddenly come back today?" Wang Zhenzhen said reproachfully, but her eyes were full of joy.

"Brother, long time no see! Let's go, let's have a fight in the training room! Let's do what men should do!" Song Qingshan was still acting crazy.

Fan Xiao saw his familiar family members, but his heart was not greatly moved.

He was pulled into the living room by Song Yu. Looking at the home that was both strange and familiar, his inner conflict and unease grew stronger.

Why... I should be happy... What's wrong with me...?

As he passed the full-length mirror embedded in the wall, Fan Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror—upon meeting his gaze, he saw what was contained in his own eyes, and suddenly understood everything.

Those were... such weathered, lifeless, and numb eyes.

He went home, but he no longer felt like he had a home.

Having seen it all, he is no longer himself.

……

The evolution game has arrived. Become an evolver, select a dungeon, become a player... Fan Xiao mechanically repeats everything.

Time flies, and several years have passed in a flash.

God was defeated.

Anna, now a monster, has won again.

Now that we're anchored, this era is gone.

Vanshaw survived again and entered the timeline that Anna had anchored.

Having been given a second chance at life, although he wasn't particularly interested in anything, he actually tried his best to stop everything, like a machine executing some kind of instinctive command.

In the end, he still lost.

But for him now, winning or losing is no longer the most important thing.

He encountered an even more serious predicament—Fan Xiao knew that he was ill.

I've been sick for a very, very long time.

It was a very, very serious mental illness that was caused by time.

If he cannot be cured, he may never find a home of his own.

"I... am no longer like a human being at all."

"How much humanity do I have left now?"

"Victory or defeat is no longer important. I need to make myself become a...human being again."

Fan Xiao began to seal away his abilities and live like a normal human being.

He no longer rejects or ostracizes the era created by Anna, and no longer engages in a monotonous confrontation with the monster Anna.

Although he had already spent a long, despairing time in this era, he did not live like a human being.

He needs to change his way of life.

He began to integrate into this world.

Unbeknownst to Fan Xiao, the "twin angels" silently began to operate, slowly and gradually counteracting and healing his apathy, and gradually enlivening his emotions.

The backup plan he left behind is starting to take effect.
