Chapter 1556: Opening the Diary
“Suppose you could return to your world, would you go back home?”
“!!!” Nathan widened his eyes. He had never thought about it.
But when he was asked this question, his mind immediately changed to the worst-case scenario.
What if after all this, they still lose?
Would he choose to turn back time and start all over again? He didn’t have any memory of his previous lives. He didn’t know whether the original Nathan’s lives were the only previous lives this body had, or whether he had turned back time after coming into this world a few times already.
That answer might be in the book, or it might not be. After all, it only answered his question about the original Nathan.
There might be a reason for Nathan to erase that memory if he really turned back time.
If he fought against the aliens and lost, wouldn’t it be wiser to retreat rather than turning back time?
The time difference between this place and Earth was big. Some sources had told them that this fight started millions of years ago. Cthulhu mentioned that this fight only started a few thousand years ago.
So, if he could take advantage of the natural time difference and escape back to Earth to spend the rest of his life relaxing with his wives, wouldn’t that be wiser than fighting the aliens?
He hadn’t considered this before because he had come to love this world. But Elysion didn’t think that way.
He might have loved this world, but his hometown was still on Earth. Elysion wasn’t aware of his experience on Earth, which made him not want to stay there.
The method to come back to Earth was already there. The summoning system was only effective on the summoning fragment. The Soul Contract was only effective in summoning him from Earth but couldn’t send him back because his home planet didn’t have any energy left due to that broken piece.
However, there was one method he could use to teleport far, far away. That was the teleportation system that the old gods had used to send Earth away.
This time, the sacrifice wouldn’t be much because he only needed to teleport several people, not the entire planet.
According to Hela’s description, Earth’s original size should be at least 50 times the size that he knew of.
So, he could definitely return to Earth if he wanted to.
But that also meant that this universe would be destroyed. Still, would he care? When the black cell finally destroyed this universe, thanks to the time difference, it would have been thousands of years, if not more.
At that time, Nathan had spent more than enough time to consider it a fulfilled life.
Nathan looked down, contemplating.
Luna and Evelyn were quite worried. On the one hand, they didn’t think it was a bad idea. They were also curious about Earth. On the other hand, this was their home. They didn’t want it to be destroyed.
Nathan said, “I might return to Earth.”
“!!!” Luna and Evelyn opened their mouths but couldn’t say anything. He had the right to return to his home. After all, he was summoned here. In a way, it could be considered a kidnapping.
However, Nathan added while looking at Luna and Evelyn with a tender gaze. “But I will consider that option until I defeat the black cell. I don’t know if it’s possible or not, but I’m going to try.
“This might not be my hometown, but I can certainly say that I love my new home better than my hometown. However, it doesn’t mean I give up on that idea. Thanks to your question, that idea becomes a bit more amusing to me.
“And I have many reasons to stay here and do whatever I can to protect this new home.
“That’s why if I want to go home, I will wait until I solve our problems.” Nathan smiled. This also meant Nathan was prepared to reveal his secret to Selena and the others.
He had previously explained that it was up to Luna and Evelyn, but he had made his decision, a much firmer one. He planned to reveal it. It might not be now, but he would definitely tell them about it.
That was why he chose to stay.
“I see.” Elysion closed his eyes for a moment. He felt a bit relieved. “In that case, please take all the time you need to read the book.”
Nathan nodded. He ultimately returned with Luna and Evelyn, but his familiars stayed here to chat.
Once they returned to the room, Nathan’s expression turned solemn. “I’m sorry about this, but I have to read this book alone.”
“Alone?” They thought since they already knew about Nathan’s origin, there was no reason not to read the diary together.
Nathan raised one finger. “I also have one request. If… after reading this book, I end up becoming someone else or change in any way, I want you two to be the first ones to stop me by whatever means possible.”
“!!!” Evelyn didn’t think of this reason. Identity crisis. Once he read this book, there was a chance that he would become the original Nathan.
“If we read that book together with you, our opinion might also change. That’s why it’s best for us not to read it together with you so that we will notice any changes in you after reading that book.” Luna nodded in understanding.
If it was for this reason, she could accept.
Nathan nodded. “Yeah. I don’t know its content. Maybe the words alone are enough to change me. Maybe there is a hidden Soul Contract in this book. Maybe Elysion is mistaken and the original Nathan is still here, waiting for something. I don’t know, but I do know that I need both of you.
“I’m sorry that you won’t be able to read it. Or I might even change my opinion and not let you read it after knowing the content. But… can you trust my judgment?”
Luna and Evelyn exchanged looks. They smiled before answering, “Of course.”
“Thanks.” Nathan smiled back and finally opened the book.
