Chapter 2115 - 2112: The Final Effort (4)

Even though this scene had taken place long, long ago, Chang Qing still felt deeply distressed at this moment.

The distress was so intense it was as if he could hardly breathe. He clutched tightly at his clothes, for it was his fault that the young driver had forever left this world, while he survived by sheer luck, living a life worse than death.

Gu Qiaoqiao naturally understood what Chang Qing was thinking. She placed her hand on his shoulder, gently patting him, letting a thread of spiritual energy silently spread within his body. Though it served little purpose, something was better than nothing. She softly said, "Chang Qing, this is the slender hope we just spoke about."

Chang Qing raised his head to look at Gu Qiaoqiao in bewilderment. It was clearly a scene of one dead, one injured; how could this be a slender hope?

Yet, in Chang Qing’s eyes at this moment, there was an unexpected moisture because, right now, that young driver was still alive. He was a member of the base’s Special Preparation Team, assigned to escort him to the station. Unexpectedly, that was the last he ever came back. Chang Qing remembered he was only eighteen, having joined the team just a year ago.

Suddenly, Chang Qing seemed to understand something. He drew on all his strength and stood up abruptly.

Seeing him stand, Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly placed a chair in front of him, letting him lean against the back, after all, the vitality within Chang Qing was still slowly ebbing away. Not even his spiritual energy could change that, and until the task was completed, Chang Qing couldn’t suffer any harm.

He once thought his heart had long become calm like an ancient well, thought he had already seen through everything, believed that the past was past, scarcely worth remembering, yet now a scene like this played out before his eyes, the jeep driving on, as his heart pounded wildly.

Heavenly Dao fifty gives birth to forty-nine, so what is the remaining life force?

Is it right here?

But this had already happened. According to the time calculation, he shouldn’t be seeing this now; is this time reversal?

Is this the energy Sister Qiaoqiao wielded?

"Sister Qiaoqiao, what’s going on? Is this synchronized?"

After a moment of stagnation, Chang Qing finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Chang Qing, this is not time reversal, nor is it an image from the past. This is happening now, running synchronously with the present time of this spacetime. Though I cannot explain exactly what is happening, you must know that the slender hope lies with this car and this road."

With hands gripping the back of the chair, exerting force, Chang Qing stared unwaveringly at the scene before him, applying every ounce of his strength, "Sister Qiaoqiao, tell me what to do, I must save the driver."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and chose not to reveal what had transpired between her and the Qiaoqiao from that world.

Below the Heavenly Dao, a slender hope had already been released; she couldn’t overstep.

However, if, at the very last moment, Chang Qing still had thoughts or hesitations, then she would tell him.

Now, everything transpiring before them was indeed another fate-altering defiance.

The car accident was unavoidable, but something needed to be done in the instant before it occurred to minimize the harm.

At the very least, the life of the young driver must be saved.

Chang Qing, who had already lost the will to survive, suddenly felt strength returning to his body. He couldn’t die now. If these two spacetimes were running synchronously, rather than time reversal, then even if he himself perished, he must bring back the young driver’s life.

Seeing Chang Qing’s demeanor, Gu Qiaoqiao understood that his thoughts must have changed, the scene in front had stimulated him. No matter what, Chang Qing was a kind-hearted young man.

If possible, she certainly wished to save this young driver’s life, but as for what happened at that time, truthfully, Gu Qiaoqiao knew nothing. She had merely deduced it after mastering the ninth level of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, which concealed a thread of hope here.

And this hope belonged to Chang Qing.

Yet, under his influence, the young driver would also gain some opportunity granted by the heavenly path, so all this can be altered, but it must be done with adaptability, otherwise, both he and Chang Qing would face the backlash easily.

If the backlash was severe, not only would the young driver’s life fail to be saved, Chang Qing himself may perish in the car accident, which was not the purpose of Gu Qiaoqiao risking coming to this time.

Gu Qiaoqiao promptly spoke, "Chang Qing, don’t worry, trust me, this matter will definitely be resolved well."

Chang Qing stared unwaveringly at the scene in front; the vehicle continued charging forward, seemingly seeking a place to rest before the snow worsened.

Chang Qing remembered the place where the car accident occurred.

In the vast blizzard, Chang Qing found that the car accident site was not far away. Just a few more minutes of driving and they’d reach it. The crucial moment had arrived, and Chang Qing felt a bit tense and uneasy.

He didn’t know if his actions would impact the original spacetime, nor did he know if there was any meaning in what he was doing. Yet, standing before this scene, the two spacetimes eerily paralleled, maybe this hope was here.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was intently focused on the scene ahead and suddenly said, "Chang Qing, be prepared. When the accident occurs, I will merge these two spacetimes, but when they combine, it’s impossible for two of you to appear at the same place, so you will converge."

Stopping here, Gu Qiaoqiao paused, slightly lifting her head, looking at the weakened Chang Qing, speaking in a somewhat choked voice, "Chang Qing, this is already the best option. I don’t wish for your piece of consciousness to completely disappear. If you can merge with the consciousness of the original spacetime.

It’s actually just a connection, affecting nothing; meaning this memory will be preserved, but it won’t harm the previous you. You must grasp this slender hope as it is your final chance."

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing understood everything.

His Sister Qiaoqiao was likewise altering fate. By some theories, it meant rebirth for him.

A rebirth carrying memory, but he was reborn at such a juncture, why not a few years earlier? At this moment, the thought resurfaced within Chang Qing’s mind, after all, this was the demon in his heart, haunting him fiercely over years, deeply entrenched in his heart’s hidden corners.

Right then, Gu Qiaoqiao had no choice but to tell him the truth.

Initially, she didn’t plan to speak, but with Chang Qing hesitating like this, clearly unwilling to return to that world or live carrying certain memories.

"Chang Qing, let me tell you, in that spacetime, nothing happened to that Gu Qiaoqiao. She was saved by Qin Yize, her great revenge taken, and found her relatives. Right now, she should be living with her cousins in Gu Garden..."
