188: In this era, there is still a time traveler?

“So she’s a transmigrator—this is bad news, meow!”

Upon hearing Little Hei’s words, Mo Fan and Mo Yingying were both stunned, petrified on the spot.

A moment later, Mo Fan recovered and calmly said, “Little Hei, it’s not what you think—”

Little Hei interrupted Mo Fan again: “No need to rush to deny it. As a cat who has experienced the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation, I know too much. Transmigrators are not uncommon.”

Hearing this, Mo Fan opened his mouth but ultimately chose to remain silent.

He looked at the black cat, signaling for it to continue.

The black cat shook its head and continued:

“Under normal circumstances, the Extraordinary Era is counted from the beginning of the spiritual energy resurgence.

“The longer the Extraordinary Era lasts, the greater the influence of the new Heaven and Earth laws, and the easier it is for those relics that originally only existed in the void to fall into reality.”

At this point, the black cat explained:

“So-called relics, or what you call secret realms, are actually independent spaces opened up in other eras to weaken the impact of the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation, attempting to continue their legacy or escape the catastrophe.

“Unfortunately, even if some beings miraculously survive, they will eventually be corrected by the laws of the current world, and ultimately can only wait for death in small spaces.”

After a moment of thought, Little Hei continued:

“According to the principle of proximity, at first, only relics from the previous era might fall.

“But later, even relics from countless eras ago will slowly descend from the void into the current world.”

At this point, the black cat jumped from Mo Fan’s shoulder to the sofa, curled up, and continued:

“Our era, from the resurgence of spiritual energy to the destruction of the world, lasted for over five thousand years.

“Over those five thousand years, various relics were discovered one after another.

“In the years leading up to the world’s destruction, these relics sprouted like mushrooms after rain.

“As we deciphered the relics, we gained more and more information.”

Hearing these secrets, Mo Yingying also recovered and listened attentively with her ears perked up.

As a transmigrator from the future, she had also experienced the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation.

However, in her era, the spiritual energy resurgence had been too short, and the excavated relics were not only limited, but most of the already excavated relics were still in a semi-developed state, with not many of the texts within them deciphered.

Therefore, her era knew very little about certain historical secrets.

The black cat continued: “From analyzing relic documents, we learned that under normal circumstances, the trigger points for the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation are usually at the five-thousand-year or ten-thousand-year mark.

“However, throughout so many eras, there have been exceptions, and by analyzing these exceptions, some commonalities can be found.

“One, the time nodes are all very early, far earlier than the normal historical development process.

“Two, the overall strength is relatively weak, top-tier combat power is extremely lacking, relic exploration remains superficial, crisis response capabilities are extremely poor, and from the beginning to the end of the World Annihilation Tribulation, it generally does not exceed a hundred years.

“Three…”

At this point, the black cat glanced at Mo Yingying and continued:

“Three, in the documents left behind by those exceptional eras, there are always phrases such as ‘born with knowledge,’ ‘prophet,’ ‘leader of the era,’ ‘once-in-ten-thousand-years genius,’ ‘hope,’ ‘dawn,’ ‘future,’ and ‘born to save the world.’”

At this point, the black cat paused, patted its round belly, took out a spirit fish from who knows where, and threw it to Mo Fan, saying:

“This cat is hungry, grill me a fish, meow.”

Mo Fan frowned, gave the black cat a glare, then dutifully took out his tools and started to get busy.

At the same time, Little Hei continued to narrate:

“Those phrases only appear when describing certain exceptionally prominent beings.

“A careful comparison makes it easy to conclude that these beings might be transmigrators.

“And it is precisely they who caused the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation to advance significantly.

“Through some records, it is known that these transmigrators all seem to come from a certain point in the future.

“Under normal circumstances, once a suspected transmigrator appears, the World Annihilation Tribulation will begin within a hundred years.”

Taking a breath, the black cat sniffed the aroma of the spices intently, and Little Hei continued:

“Some eras even directly concluded that the appearance of transmigrators is the beginning of disaster.”

At this point, the black cat looked at Mo Yingying again, deliberating for a moment before saying:

“When I first saw you, I felt something was off. Your fate seemed erratic, out of sync with heaven and earth.

“It was precisely because of this that I followed you, wanting to observe you.

“Unfortunately, after two months of following, I gained no insights.

“At that time, I only thought it was the small space of Sky-Breaking City affecting you, so I didn’t think much of it.

“Only now do I understand that the reason your fate is erratic is because you do not belong to this era.

“Because even now, even though you are in the Great World, your fate is still erratic, out of sync with heaven and earth.”

At this point, the black cat took a deep breath and excitedly said:

“Incredible, meow! This cat has actually encountered a transmigrator, rumored to appear only once every countless eras!”

However, Mo Yingying couldn't be happy about this. She bit her lip, her expression somewhat complex as she said:

“So, my appearance will cause the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation to advance, right?”

“Based on experience, that’s how it is, meow,” the black cat nodded.

Hearing this, Mo Yingying was somewhat unwilling and pressed further:

“Then, has there been any era where, due to the appearance of a transmigrator, the tide was turned and they safely passed the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation?”

“No, meow. If there were, the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation wouldn’t have continued until now, meow.”

After a brief thought, the black cat continued:

“Although transmigrators are all unique, darlings of their era, possessing various advantages, their cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, allowing them to grow rapidly.

“But because the historical process is drastically shortened, no matter how excellent or powerful a transmigrator is, it’s difficult for them to drive the progress of an entire civilization.

“So the ultimate outcome can only be an inability to reverse the situation.”

At this point, the black cat frowned, somewhat uncertainly saying:

“Some records even indicate that transmigrators will be targeted by some will, and after reaching a certain level of growth, various accidents will occur, causing them to die inexplicably even before the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation begins.”

Hearing this, Mo Yingying trembled all over: “So…”

The black cat interjected: “So, we can lie flat and wait for death. Eat well, drink well, and fulfill any wishes you have as much as possible, meow. Based on experience, this era will last at most a few decades, and it’s very difficult for it to exceed a hundred years.”

“If only there were a few decades, that would be great,” Mo Yingying said with a bitter expression.

“What did you say, meow?” The black cat was startled.

Mo Yingying calmed herself and said, “When I transmigrated, the world was about to be annihilated. There aren’t many years left until now…”

The black cat gasped, leaning back, its face full of shock: “The world was about to be annihilated when you transmigrated? How is that possible? How many years from now did you transmigrate from? Four or five thousand years later? Or nine thousand years later? Is your dad that outrageous?”

For beings with thousands of years of lifespan, it’s quite normal to still have descendants a thousand or two thousand years later.

But four or five thousand years, or even over nine thousand years, is somewhat abnormal.

The lifespan of the strongest does not exceed five thousand years.

Even those who break through the void cannot reach ten thousand years.

Strong cultivators who live that long are always a minority, and there aren’t many in an entire era.

After living so long, experiencing countless ups and downs, countless partings of life and death, and watching friends and family pass away one after another, they would have long seen through the mundane world and would not leave traces in the human world.

“Uh, not that long. I came from twenty-six years later,” Mo Yingying said.

Hearing this, Little Hei jumped three feet high: “Twenty-six years later? How is that possible, meow? Are you sure it’s not four thousand six hundred years later, meow?”

“Uh? Why not possible?” Mo Yingying was somewhat confused.

“Are you an idiot, meow? The spiritual energy resurgence has only just passed a thousand years.

“If you really transmigrated from 26 years later, and the world was about to be annihilated when you transmigrated, what do you think that means?” the black cat said.

Hearing this, Mo Yingying immediately reacted, her body trembling, and she said blankly:

“Does that mean the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation in my era was also advanced…?”

Then, she gasped, her face full of disbelief:

“Does this mean that there were also transmigrators in my era, causing the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation to be advanced?”

“That’s right, meow. It’s too terrifying. My head is a bit muddled now. This era of yours is a bit like a ghost hitting a wall, meow. It’s too scary—”

Mo Yingying was completely stunned, somewhat disbelievingly saying:

“So, because I transmigrated, the original twenty-six years will continue to shorten, and drastically at that?”

“Based on experience, that is indeed the case,” the black cat nodded.

Hearing this, Mo Yingying fell silent.

In fact, she had already noticed that this era had deviated from historical progress, and many things seemed to have happened earlier.

It was precisely because of this that she had tried every means to explore secret realms, search for immortal substances, and improve herself as much as possible.

In fact, a new quota had already been approved, and in two days, she was going to explore the Demon Capital Secret Realm.

“There were also transmigrators in my era? Who could it be?”

Thinking of this, Mo Yingying glanced at Mo Fan, who was still petrified in shock but hadn't forgotten to sprinkle cumin on the grilled fish.

Finally, she shook her head.

“It definitely isn’t Dad. He was unremarkable before thirty, only rising rapidly by relying on Mom’s connections. He doesn’t quite fit the image of a transmigrator—

“So, who exactly is it?”

Mo Yingying fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Mo Fan, who was diligently grilling fish, was experiencing tumultuous waves in his heart.

“Could that transmigrator be me?

“But I didn’t transmigrate from the future of Blue Star, but from Earth—

“So, does it count or not?”

Mo Fan fell into contemplation.

If it did count, would theOverlay of two transmigrators make the already meager time even more meager?

Or would two negatives make a positive, completely escaping the predicament?

If it didn't count, then it meant that at this point in time, that transmigrator might not have appeared yet.

It was also possible that because of Mo Yingying's transmigration, some unforeseen changes occurred, causing him to potentially never appear.

So, which situation was it?

And to what extent would the Tribulation of World Annihilation be advanced?

Thinking of these things, Mo Fan felt somewhat restless.

True fear stems from the unknown and uncertainty.

Just then, a rich aroma of grilled meat permeated the entire cave dwelling.

“Meow, so hungry. I’m not thinking about it anymore. Eating is the priority. Live one day at a time, who cares about the damn thing!

“This era will also be over soon. Establishing a vanguard again is meaningless, meow meow meow. I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore, I’m lying flat. Being happy is the best!”

With a whoosh, the fish on the grill appeared in Little Hei’s paw.

“So fragrant, meow-woo, it’s so good! Mo Fan, grill another one for this cat!”

Watching this scene, Mo Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he immediately felt at ease.

“Yeah, who cares about all that? Live for today, and just do it!

“Work, work, work! Become the king of grinding!

“Mysticism won’t save the unlucky,Krypton Gold won’t change fate. Only the Liver Emperor shines eternally!

“My fate is in my hands, not in heaven’s! Experience points and stuff… go to hell!

“The Great Tribulation of World Annihilation, go to hell! As long as I’m strong enough, I’ll smash it with one punch!”

After being a bit chuunibyou internally for a while, Mo Fan grinned, his mood instantly brightened, and he felt like his whole being was ignited.
