Chapter 771: Chapter 771: There is a Cost to Returning to the Past

The two saw her emotions gradually stabilize, and the person on the left lifted their hand to sketch something in the air, summoning a transparent display interface.

What intrigued her was not the screen they had called up, but the images that appeared on it. Wasn’t this the very world she lived in?

The screen played a fast-moving sequence showing everything from the first day of the Apocalypse to the establishment of the new city, then the speaker began to explain.

"Hello, 1077."

"I’m not 1077, I’m Su Shu," Su Shu corrected.

The other party was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, "Alright, Su Shu, in the last moment before the self-destruction of the Apocalyptic System, we were fortunate to detect your existence, making you the Savior of plane 1077. Our mission is now complete. We will initiate the elimination program in three minutes, hoping you can protect the world of the Apocalypse with the help of the Apocalyptic System."

"Wait a minute!" Su Shu was utterly confused.

What plane? What 1077? What Savior? What did all this have to do with her?

She got up to look for the door to leave but discovered that the space was enclosed. Her face darkened, and she turned around to ask, "Am I dead? Or did you imprison me here?"

"Um... well..."

Under Su Shu’s intense questioning, the two began to explain in detail, although their so-called details were as much as they could disclose within two minutes.

It was only then that Su Shu realized that the end of the Apocalypse she thought she had overcome and the established new life was merely a mirage. The calamity was unavoidable, and the only reason she had survived until now was the remaining energy of the Apocalyptic System, which had been supporting her.

However, the Apocalyptic System had failed to find a suitable new Savior for over 77 days. Without a proper master, the system could not exist independently in this world.

They should have initiated the self-destruction protocol long ago and transmitted all data back to the main system.

But the two individuals wanted to persist, so they continued to deplete the last of their self-preservation energy to prevent the world from collapsing.

Yet by doing so, it also meant that if they still failed to find a suitable candidate in the end, the system of plane 1077 would be completely destroyed and the world would permanently disappear.

Su Shu was puzzled, "What about the world I live in now?!"

The two expressed regret, "We’re sorry, we no longer have the energy to sustain that world."

Su Shu collapsed onto the edge of the bed. What did this mean? Was it that Tang Zelin and all the others who had struggled to survive had ultimately not succeeded?

"However, fortunately, we detected that your energy perfectly matches our system. Therefore, whether or not plane 1077 can continue to survive now depends on your efforts," they said.

"Me?"

"Yes, we can use the last bit of energy to send you back to the past.

Su Shu was stunned for a second, and when she realized what they were suggesting, her face lit up with excitement!

If they could send her back to the past, could she possibly...

Only, going back to the past comes with a price.

"What price?" Su Shu asked.

"There’s not enough time for a detailed explanation. In the future, you will understand what has happened to this world with the help of the auxiliary system. What we can tell you now is that a BUG has appeared in the main host of the Apocalyptic System. We can temporarily adjust the data to send you back, but the duration won’t be long. We hope you can find a solution to the problem in that time. To hide the auxiliary system from being destroyed by the BUG, we have placed its main part in your ring, and it will appear when the time is right.

To ensure backup, we will create an avatar to follow you, but please forgive us that our energy is limited. We cannot create an adult to protect you; can we make it in the form of a child instead?"
