Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 127 Rebirth
Late at night, on the outskirts of Tingen, on the Tussock River.

It was the flood season at this time, and the river was so fast that the noisy rushing of the river could be heard even from a long distance away.

Not to mention Chris waking up by the river.

His consciousness has not yet recovered, his body has no feeling, and his spirituality has dried up to the bottom.

After an unknown amount of time, Chris felt a burning pain in his body. This pain did not come suddenly, but he had regained his sense of pain.

Time goes back to that rainy night in Misty Village, when Chris lost consciousness before the lightning struck down. Conjuring the phantom of "0-08" from the book consumed all his spirituality, and he almost couldn't. Knowing what happened next, I only remember that the sky above me suddenly lit up.

He turned over with difficulty and breathed in the fresh air by the river. Only then did he realize that he was alive - at least the petrification effect had disappeared.

Chris looked up at the starry sky above his head. In the eyes of normal people, the crimson moon hung in the night sky, and the starry sky was so bright and special.But in his eyes, the starry sky became a little strange, a little evil, and made him feel inexplicably warm, as if the depths of the universe were his destination.

He sat up and looked at his body in the moonlight, which made him a little embarrassed - he was wearing nothing.

Chris raised his head and glanced at the position of the red moon, confirming that it was late at night. He was relieved that there should be no one around at this time.

He threw himself to the river and took a few gulps of water. The cold water stimulated him and made him more conscious.

Through the crimson moonlight and the reflection on the water, he saw himself clearly - he still looked like Chris Doty.

There are two explanations for this:

One: He is not dead.

Two: He is resurrected, just like Klein.

Chris ruled out the first point. He now remembered that he pronounced the true name of the Storm Lord at that time, and that the lightning was also sent down by Him. He could not still be alive after being attacked by the gods.

Then he can only resurrect himself.

Chris wasn't sure how long it had been since that night, or where he was, but those were not his concerns at the moment - he was still naked, and his first priority was to find suitable clothing.

He curled up and walked aimlessly. After walking for about ten minutes, he finally saw a human house.

After careful identification, he recognized that this was the outskirts of Tingen. If it was more accurate, it should be northwest of Tingen, then the river just now was the Tasok River.

It seems like we are back to the beginning again...

Chris smiled to himself. He planned to "borrow" some clothes from other people's homes.

When he was about to climb over the wall, he suddenly stopped and felt that something was wrong.

He touched the wrist of his left hand, and the imprint of the mysterious symbol on the skin was slightly raised, and there was a slight undulation to the touch.

Yes, I can conjure a set of clothes from the book... Hey, maybe I just resurrected and my brain is still confused, so I didn't think so much, otherwise I would have thought of this method when I was by the river.

Chris patted his head with some annoyance, touched the brand on his wrist, and silently recited His honorable name:
"The author of all living things, the controller of the infinite universe, the supreme eternal existence..." A vortex of starlight burst out in the center of Chris's sight, as if he had fallen into a rapidly rotating galaxy.

The galaxy swallowed him up in an instant, and the whisper of the "Hidden Sage" only rang in his ears.

When Chris looked around again, he found that he had arrived on Star Island.

However, the Star Island at this moment was the same as when he first came here. It was a bare rocky island. There was nothing on the island except a copy of "The Lord of Mysteries" floating in mid-air.

Could it be a factory reset?

Chris chuckled to himself. If he could return to Star Island smoothly, most of his worries would be alleviated.

He calmly came up with a few ideas and transformed a firefly lamp, a pure plant awning and a rocking chair. Then he sat on the rocking chair and stretched out his hand to summon Liu Guang's original work.

He flipped through the pages and found that even though Mrs. Sharon was dead in the world he was currently in, the plot of the original book remained unchanged. In the book, Mrs. Sharon was not killed by Klein until Chapter 199.

So, my activities in this world and my impact on this world have not changed the timeline?
Chris pondered for a moment and shook his head to deny the guess——

It is very possible that the "Lord of Mysteries" in front of me is "dead". The plot line has been fixed long ago and has not changed with the changes in the world.

This brings a new problem to Chris: it makes it more difficult for him to predict the future based on the original work.

For example, in this world, Mrs. Sharon has died, but in the original work, she is still alive. So how will the "instigator" Tris develop in the future? Will he be promoted to a "witch"? If so, where did he get it? Recipe... It was difficult for Chris to get answers to this series of questions, at least not in the book.

Only then did Chris realize that Mrs. Sharon's death had changed the timeline, and the plot related to her in the original novel was out of his control.

He could only pray in his heart that Mrs. Sharon's death would produce good results in the future, such as the failure of "Instigator" Tris to obtain the "Witch" formula.

No, no, no, it's not that simple...

Chris is not a fatalist. Even though this is an extraordinary world, he still believes that everything is logical, so he thought of a terrible result, which gave him instant goosebumps:
If Tris hadn't become a "witch", could he have helped Klein to sabotage George III's promotion ceremony?
Although Triss was a villain in the early stages of the story and could not be considered "whitewashed" in the middle and later stages of the story, she still helped Klein after all and was considered an important role.

Chris scratched his head, he didn't think so much before, let alone Madam Sharon sacrificed her life for the birth ceremony.

If you put it this way, it seems that Mrs. Sharon's life or death doesn't matter...

No, you can't say that. If she dies now, Nighthawks' Kornley might survive...

Christo pinched his chin with his arm. Mrs. Sharon's death so early cannot be judged by simple "good" or "bad", but at least Cornley will not die because of her, and Dunn will not die because of taking Cornley. His extraordinary properties lead to an unstable mental state.

Of course, Chris didn't bother to consider the ripple effects of Mrs. Sharon's death in Tingen politics, reducing corruption, and partisanship was not something he should worry about.

If that's the case, am I still responsible for Tris's subsequent promotion?
He looked at the "witch's" potion formula in the book and fell into deep contemplation...
