Eternal Sun

Chapter 1374: Countercurrent Time! I’m back!

On the other side, [Rogue] was thrown back to that timeline by [Loatis] and appeared directly at the starry sky node where he disappeared.

However, at this moment, a very long time has passed since [Rogue] left Huanren Star until the present node on this timeline.

As time goes by, things and people change.

The people, things and events on the planet Huanren have changed countless times over the long years.

Everything that [Rogge] was familiar with, especially the person he cared about the most, even though he had not yet died of old age, he had actually waited for such a long time.

He could not accept such an outcome.

Fortunately, this is not something that cannot be solved for [Rogge].

Even if [Rogge] chose the second option among the choices given by [Loatis], he would never be able to glimpse a higher level based on the existing foundation.

But even with his current strength, it would still be easy for him to achieve any of his ideas in this timeline.

"Then... let's go against the current!"

At this moment, the human [nutrients] of [Rogue] that had been absorbed by [Loatis] grew wildly under the influence of his extremely strong obsession.

At this moment, His power also began to act on the entire timeline where the planet Huanren was located, causing time to flow backwards according to His will.

As an independent incarnation of [Loatis], such an approach would not violate the rules of [True Void Sea], nor would it attract interference from the Dawn God Clan.

The reason why we did not jump back to the past in time as an individual is because the reverse flow of time is more labor-saving than the previous method.

At least that's the case for [Rogge].

Sensing the time flowing backwards around him, [Rogge] even placed himself in this process, but maintained his own will and did not retreat.

He just stood quietly in the starry sky, watching the planet Huanren below gradually return to its familiar appearance.

The more this happened, the more Rogge's humanity, which was only in its infancy, grew wildly and boiled over, making his once calm and empty face even more lively.

"Heh... Huanrenxing, what a fitting name... Calling humanity, reawakening my humanity."

[Rogge] had a relieved expression, and he truly understood the true meaning of this planet that was born out of an experiment.

……

[Rogge] was away for quite some time, but considering the scale of the starry sky outside of Huanren Star, this period of time was not enough for the starry sky to undergo significant changes.

But for Huanren Star itself, whether it is the real world or the [hidden world], this amount of time is enough for it to undergo earth-shaking changes.

As time flows backwards, countless lives that have been born disappear quietly, and countless major events that have been engraved in history return to a state of not having occurred.

For these lives that were pushed against the tide and the participants in those major events, Rogge's actions at this time were tantamount to directly denying their entire significance.

But [Rogge] didn't care.

After all, although He possesses humanity, He also possesses the divinity of the God above Gods. Except for the existence that He truly recognizes, everything else is nothing but dust to Him that can be overturned in an instant.

Finally, when time flowed back to a point that [Rogge] felt was more appropriate, He decisively ended this miracle that no one would know about.

Swish!

In a flash, [Rogue]'s figure disappeared from the starry sky and returned to the planet Huanren.

Just like when he first came, [Rogue] once again placed the House of Value of All Things in a level that was free from the real world and the [Hidden World].

Everything is exactly the same as it was before.

After doing all this, [Rogge] appeared outside the [Moment Bookstore] in the real world, opened the door and walked in like an ordinary guest.

……

"It's been three months..."

In [A Moment Bookstore], Su Xia was "reading" the novel in her hand with empty eyes, but her real attention had already been focused on somewhere else.

"I don't know what he's doing. Will he be in any danger?"

A hint of sadness and worry lingered in Su Xia's eyes.

"Xiao Suxia, it's time to pay the bill."

A kind voice interrupted Su Xia's thoughts. A middle-aged woman with a kind face was standing in front of the bookstore counter with a smile on her face.

"Ah? Ah! Okay, Auntie."

Su Xia was dazed for a moment, then came to his senses and paid the bill for the middle-aged woman.

Looking at Su Xia's absent-minded look, the middle-aged woman asked with a smile.

"Xiao Su Xia, are you thinking about something?"

"No, Auntie, I was just daydreaming."

"Oh, really?"

The middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe it.

At this time, she seemed to remember something and asked in a slightly teasing tone.

"By the way, Xiao Suxia, why haven't you seen that cool little handsome guy who often comes to your place recently?"

When the other party mentioned [Rogue], Su Xia paused for a moment while paying the bill, and then returned to normal.

"He...he's away on a long trip, and it might take some time for him to come back."

"Oh~ Seeing that you know so much about him, that cool little handsome guy couldn't be your boyfriend, right?"

Hearing this, Su Xia's face turned red instantly.

She just waved her hands a little nervously and said.

"No, he is... he is, um, he is a very special friend of mine."

"Oh~ friend~"

Seeing the little girl blushing, the middle-aged woman stopped teasing her. After Su Xia paid the bill, she took the books she bought and left the bookstore.

At the same time the middle-aged woman left, Roger pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in.

The first thing he saw was Su Xia, who was embarrassed by the middle-aged woman's words and worried because she thought of him, with a very complicated expression on her face.

Swish!

With a thought, a cup of Su Xia's favorite hot cocoa appeared in [Rogge's] hand.

He walked to the counter, put the cup of hot cocoa on the table, and pushed it in front of Su Xia.

Su Xia subconsciously looked at the figure who handed her the hot cocoa, and her expression froze for a moment.

Then, as her expression became increasingly agitated, [Rogge] asked with a deliberately expressionless face.

“Is [boyfriend]…a higher-level social relationship contract than [friend]?”

"So, what price do I need to pay to complete the contract upgrade with you?"

At the end of the conversation, [Rogge] couldn't maintain the expression he had deliberately put on and smiled.

Su Xia, who was so excited that she almost cried because of the reappearance of [Rogge], subconsciously took a sip of hot cocoa.

But when he heard this, he was almost choked by Coco.

She burst into laughter and responded with a helpless expression.

"Well... well... there's no price! It all depends on... how you feel!"

"Feel?"

"So, Miss Su Xia, how do you feel?"

"I feel pretty good."

Having said that, [Rogge] and Su Xia both stopped talking tacitly and smiled at each other.

As the laughter gradually died down, [Rogge]'s expression returned to normal and he spoke in a very serious manner.

"I am back."
