Chapter 1470: Chapter 639: The Pocket Watch Shatters, the Truth of Time

As the God of Chaos began to counterattack, the Deviation Value within Mu You’s body started to rise uncontrollably.

"Give up..."

"Even the God of Order himself couldn’t defeat me. Do you think you have even the slightest chance of winning?"

"You’re already destined to perish amidst the symphony of chaos..."

...

The Shadow Man, who had always adhered to the principle of silence being golden, suddenly became unusually talkative, uttering a melodramatic comment with each move he made.

Mu You had no time for his chatter, focusing all his concentration on the chessboard before him, devoting every ounce of effort to harnessing the Law of Order he once commanded, in an attempt to suppress the opponent’s counterattack.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the rise of the chaos blocks.

Everything seemed to mirror the previous situation, only now the roles had reversed; the opponent was on the offensive, progressing triumphantly across the board, while Mu You continually retreated with every step.

Moreover, the chaos counterattack was far more aggressive and domineering than his previously orderly offensive, devouring the runes at an alarming pace.

The Deviation Value within Mu You’s body also began to steadily rise under this intense conflict.

20%...

30%...

40%...

50%...

Finally, the Deviation Value crossed the 50% threshold.

At this point on the board, the pieces were still split sixty-forty, with Mu You controlling a larger area. However, the breakthrough of the 50% Deviation Value marked a tangible shift in favor of the opponent.

And it wasn’t over—his Deviation Value continued to rise ceaselessly, accelerating at an increasingly rapid rate.

60%...

70%...

80%...

...

Inside the pet shop.

A group of people remained gathered around the unconscious Mu You. By now, it was already the second day.

"It’s rising again..." The Lamp God observed Mu You’s Deviation Value anxiously.

87%!

Ever since it broke past 50% two hours ago, the Deviation Value has been spiraling out of control, escalating at a frighteningly fast rate.

At this pace, it might only take a few minutes to hit 100%.

By then, it would be too late...

"What on earth is happening in there?" The Lamp God was deeply perplexed. Everything had been fine the entire day yesterday; why had the situation suddenly taken such a sharp turn for the worse?

"Crack..."

As everyone watched Mu You with worried expressions, a brittle, bone-creaking sound suddenly erupted from Lin Xue’s shoulder.

Lin Xue instinctively turned her head and saw the crow perched on her shoulder suddenly stiffen. Its wings twisted, its legs wobbled. Following a wave of dizziness, it collapsed from her shoulder.

"Teacher Vivian?!"

Lin Xue gasped in surprise, quickly reaching out to catch the falling crow.

The commotion drew the attention of the others, who turned around to see what had happened.

"What’s going on?" The Lamp God frowned, glancing around suspiciously.

Could they have been ambushed?

But everyone in the room was an ally—who would suddenly attack a companion?

"No, it’s the Pocket Watch..."

Vivian struggled to move her head slightly, directing her gaze toward a specific spot.

Following her line of sight, everyone’s eyes landed on the Pocket Watch clutched in Mu You’s hand.

Since yesterday, Mu You had been continuously rewinding time—a fact Vivian was all too aware of, as her proximity to Mu You caused her to involuntarily accompany him through these reversals.

As a result, everything Mu You experienced during his time reversals over the past day, Vivian had experienced alongside him without exception.

Fortunately, Mu You had maintained restraint in his reversals during this period, ranging from a few occurrences to hundreds at most, with each reversal lasting only a short duration.

But just moments ago, Mu You’s reversal frequency had suddenly skyrocketed, with each reversal numbering in the thousands—if not tens of thousands.

The most outrageous instance had occurred within the past ten seconds, when he managed to reverse time 300,000 times in one go!

Such high-frequency and excessively repeated time reversals had pushed Vivian’s mental endurance to its limit...

If even Vivian could no longer hold on, she dared not imagine what Mu You, caught in the heart of the chessboard, was currently enduring...

"Little Snow, take me out of here..." Vivian weakly murmured from Lin Xue’s hands.

Based on the pattern so far, Mu You would almost certainly continue his reversals, with each one increasing dramatically in repetition.

Therefore, for Vivian, staying here meant enduring torment—a better option was to leave for now.

The suggestion left everyone momentarily stunned; none of them fully understood what Vivian had experienced.

"Alright." Lin Xue nodded.

She hadn’t quite grasped the situation either, but trusted Vivian’s judgment. She could vaguely surmise that Vivian’s sudden state of weakness was related to something Mu You had done, necessitating immediate distance between them.

Without hesitation, Lin Xue scooped up the crow in her hands and began sprinting toward the door.

However, just as she had taken a few steps and hadn’t reached the door yet...

A crisp "crack" sound echoed from behind.

Followed by gasps of astonishment from the group.

Lin Xue and Vivian instinctively stopped, turning to look back.

They saw that, at this moment, there was an unmistakable crack on the surface of the Pocket Watch in Mu You’s right hand.

Vivian froze, quickly calling out: "Wait... Little Snow, go back and check!"

At the instant the Pocket Watch cracked, the perpetual cycle of time reversals had suddenly halted, resuming normal flow.

"Alright." Lin Xue hastily carried Vivian back, equally curious about what had transpired with Mu You.

The two approached Mu You, as Vivian carefully examined the cracked Pocket Watch, her brows furrowing.

"Whoa, what’s happening here? The Pocket Watch cracked? That thing’s supposed to be the mascot of the original being!" exclaimed the Watchman.
