Chapter 139 A Strange New World
In the unknown vast space
"Tap tap tap..." The sound of high heels tapping on the ground rang out, and in the dim light, Xing staggered out.
"This crappy place is the transmigration space you were talking about, Elena? It's pretty big, but it feels like we haven't paid the electricity bill." Looking at the dimly lit space with little lighting, the Star System Elena complained.
“This is my first time in a place like this,” Elena replied with a shrug.
"Okay, okay, so what should we do now?" Xing looked around, the sheer size of the space making her senses somewhat distorted.
"See those doors? Just walk through any of them, and you should be able to become a full member. Probably?" the system said, then expressed uncertainty.
"You don't seem too sure either... Oh well, I'll just go through any door... Holy crap!" Just as Xing was about to walk forward, a tall door suddenly appeared in front of him, and before Xing could even react, it opened instantly, its powerful suction pulling Xing inside...
"Hiccup!" The sound of a hiccup echoed in the room the moment the door closed...

The Unknown Universe - Unknown Planets
Unknown suburbs
"Crack~ Crack~~" Suddenly, a crack appeared on the calm ground, and it kept multiplying and growing larger until it shattered, forming a spatial passage.
"Ptooey!" After a figure was spat out, the spatial passage vanished instantly...
"Plop plop plop~" The figure that fell to the ground began to thrash about like a salted fish out of water.
"What are you doing?" Less than a minute later, the system finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Xing, who was still fluttering around.
"It's nothing, I'm just pretending to be a salted fish out of water," Xing replied, stopping her thrashing about.
"Time to get up and look around... Hmm? Oh~ Be careful of explosions~" the system said, then suddenly noticed something, and then chuckled lightly.
"What the hell... Boom—!!!" A massive missile exploded nearby, a violent shockwave swept across, followed by a towering mushroom cloud of smoke...
"Tap!" A strange sound rang out, and then the world stopped moving.
"Buzz~" The explosion began to recede, and everything around began to recede—no, it should be said that…
"Hmm? Time is regressing?" Xing raised an eyebrow as she smoothed the ashes off her clothes, looking around at everything.
"Yes, time rewind has ended. We are now one minute before the nuclear explosion," the system said.
"One minute... what's the point of retreating like this?" Xing asked, puzzled.
"Time's up, be prepared for nuclear detonation," the system said with a smile.
"Nuclear... Boom—!!!" Another missile struck the edge of the city...
"Buzz~" The strange sound rang out again, and time went backward once more.
"What the hell is going on on this planet?" Xing couldn't help but sit down on the spot.
"What are you doing?" The system was puzzled by Xing's actions.
"Today I'll see how many times this planet will restart time, and how many times I'll be affected by a nuclear explosion," the star responded.
"What kind of nonsense idea is that?" the system retorted.
"Three, two, one! Look—it's coming!" Xing suddenly counted down and then looked up at the sky.
"Whoosh—BOOM—!!!!!" Another violent nuclear explosion sent a mushroom cloud rising over the city.
"The third time." Xing, feeling time rewind, waved his hand expressionlessly to clear the smoke.
Then—time rewinds to one and a half minutes earlier. Xing raised an eyebrow and continued to wait, until the explosion occurred again…
The fourth time, two minutes; the fifth time, three minutes; the sixth time, five minutes; the seventh time, six minutes...
The tenth time: Time went back a full ten minutes.
...The hundredth time: Time went back a whole day.
...The two hundredth time: Time went back a whole week.
...The 300th time: The world went backward by half a month.
...The 400th time: The world rewinds to one month ago
The time was reversed for the 401st time. This time, no more missiles flew toward the city.
"Is this over?" Xing looked up at the star-studded night sky, utterly bored.
"It's over. Due to these hundreds of setbacks and the events of a month ago, some special individuals found an opportunity to stop the conflict between nations," the system said.
“Okay, waiting for those missiles to fly over is really boring. Can we find out what’s going on here?” Xing asked.
"There is residual divine power here belonging to a true god-level deity of the Star Domain God System. Perhaps this is why time kept regressing when this planet experienced a world-ending crisis. As for the problem, I won't be able to solve it for at least a month or two," the system said.
"But you're also quite patient; you've been waiting here for several months."
"It's boring, wait a minute? A Star Domain Pantheon? If it's the one I'm thinking of, then I've really come to an incredible planet." Xing said, as if he had just thought of something.
"Go wander around the city by yourself. I'm going to connect with the World Management Center." The system then fell silent...
"Leaving already? Oh well, I'll go into the city and see for myself." After obtaining the size of the city by infiltrating a civilian satellite in the planet's orbit, Xing muttered to himself as he walked in...

"Whoosh~" Ten minutes later, several portals appeared where Xing had been, and several religious figures walked out from them.
"...Ten minutes ago, there was an outsider here who doesn't belong to this world, and his abilities are related to time." An old man closed his eyes, sensing everything around him, and finally spoke to the others.
"Old Lin, what did you 'see'?" an elderly man in red asked another person.
"I can't see through their identity. Their existence is too elusive. I always feel like I'm facing my god. No, that feeling is exactly what I feel when I'm facing my god," Elder Lin said.
"A strange god whose power level is similar to ours?" One of them pondered, stroking his beard.
"Notify people around the world to report any outsiders they discover, and if possible, make contact with them without causing them any aversion," the old man in red said.
"Yes, Vice Minister," the others responded.

Deep within this universe - World Management Center
"It can't connect? No, or is it because of that Void God that the World Management Center can't record all the events on that planet?" Elena said softly, looking at the holographic screen in front of her.
"Forget it, let's start calculating the boundary laws of this universe and prepare to leave this place with Xing. After all, this is the territory of the Star Region."
