Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

He had long suspected that, with his master's abilities, she must be one of the many ancient gods walking in Gensokyo.

Because the strength and pressure displayed by his master were completely unmatched even by Suwako, who was known as the pinnacle of the indigenous gods, and even Shinki-sama did not have the same sense of mystery as his master.

If his master was the Dragon God, then everything would make sense.

Rather, it seemed that only the identity of the Dragon God was worthy of his master's abilities.

...But thinking about it carefully, the Dragon God seems to be the true master of Gensokyo.

Even the so-called Sages are actually just helping the Dragon God manage this Gensokyo.

In other words, these powerful old women are his master's subordinates and babysitters?

Thinking of this, Chu Bai's sitting posture suddenly became arrogant:

"Little Purple, good job, I'll say a few good words for you in front of my master."

Yukari Yakumo twitched the corner of her mouth:

"What the hell is wrong with you again?"

Chu Bai immediately knocked on the table:

"Ahem, Little Purple, correct your attitude."

"The one you are facing now is the only disciple of the Dragon God, the master of Gensokyo - Young Master Chu Bai!"

Yukari Yakumo maintained her smile, but her fist was already quietly clenched:

"Do you want to test if my fist is strong?"

"My fist is not weak either!"

There was no meeting of minds, and the two quickly started arguing again.

But seeing his master quietly drinking tea, Chu Bai finally took the initiative to lower his fist:

"Forget it, I'll pick on you another day, let's talk about serious matters today."

"Since my master is the Dragon God, why did she become like this now?"

"And according to my perception, her aura... seems to have become a little unstable?"

Yukari Yakumo sighed leisurely and took a sip of the tea on the table:

"This is also the main reason why I came to you today."

"Your master, due to some sudden changes... has lost her memory."

"Or rather, she has encountered a series of regressions and actively sealed her own memories."

Actively seal memories?

Chu Bai's eyes narrowed.

A disaster related to memory immediately reminded him of the strange world he had just explored.

And Yukari Yakumo finally revealed her cards and stopped being cryptic:

"That's right, it's related to that... disaster that could destroy Gensokyo."

Chapter 254: Reversed Time! The Intersection of Four World Lines! (4K)

A disaster that could destroy Gensokyo.

Hearing this name, Chu Bai immediately sat up straight.

Obviously, his previous reasoning in the strange world had been faithfully conveyed to Yukari Yakumo's ears.

This was enough to prove the correctness of his reasoning.

And Yukari Yakumo regarded him as having passed the test.

Apart from the detailed information about the disaster that would cause pollution upon knowing it, she was already planning to reveal the rest of the plan.

"Where should I start?"

Yukari Yakumo thought for a while, and then said:

"Then let's start with three thousand years ago..."

"Wait a minute!"

As a result, Chu Bai stopped Yukari Yakumo at the beginning:

"I've read a lot, you can't fool me."

"The concept of Gensokyo only started to be proposed a thousand years ago. It wasn't until about one hundred and fifty years ago that the establishment of the Double Barrier and the protection of the Dragon God were used as a sign of its completion."

"If it's a disaster related to Gensokyo, the earliest it could be is a thousand years ago."

"But now you're telling me about something from three thousand years ago?"

"That's right, it's three thousand years ago."

Yukari Yakumo said with certainty:

"To be precise, it's three thousand years ago relative to the Dragon God-sama."

"...Eh?"

Chu Bai wasn't stupid.

This subtle statement immediately made him think of a certain possibility.

And Yukari Yakumo guessed his thoughts and slowly nodded:

"You're right, the Dragon God-sama activated the magic of reversing time."

"She reversed the time of the entire universe, and she reversed it three times."

"If we use the game's New Game Plus as an analogy, the current timeline is already the fourth playthrough for her."

...

...

In the following time, Chu Bai didn't interrupt again.

And under Yukari Yakumo's narration, he understood his master's long experience.

"The first playthrough is the timeline in which the Dragon God-sama originally lived."

"Everything in Gensokyo was proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Although there were occasional incidents and noises, peace was still the main melody of Gensokyo."

"Until that day, disaster suddenly struck."

"All the creatures of Gensokyo, including the Dragon God-sama, were quickly assimilated and polluted without even having time to react."

Yukari Yakumo said leisurely while holding a fan:

"But after all, she is the Dragon God-sama. With her remaining will, she successfully activated the ultimate magic of reversing time."

"'Everything in the entire universe' began to regress, and in the process of regression, she cut off most of her memories of the 'disaster', greatly slowing down the progress of her being polluted and assimilated."

"Thus, time reversed."

"She successfully returned to a thousand years ago and came to the second playthrough world."

Yukari Yakumo didn't explain why she regressed to a thousand years ago.

Because Chu Bai himself knew the reason.

He had heard his master mention ultimate magic like time reversal before.

Not only are the activation conditions extremely harsh, but the time span of the regression is often extremely difficult to control.

After all, the existence time of the universe is too long, which is equivalent to an ordinary person using a dart to accurately hit their own community on a constantly rotating globe. A slight carelessness may lead to a regression to a time when even the Big Bang had not yet occurred.

And if it really regressed for so long, I'm afraid that even the master would be immediately drained of magic power.

A thousand years, I'm afraid, is the limit that the master's skills can stably regress to.

"In the new timeline, the Dragon God-sama took completely different countermeasures."

"She personally took action, bearing the worl..."

Yukari Yakumo suddenly paused and said again:

"Bearing all kinds of pressure, she moved Gensokyo out of the Earth and turned it into a truly transcendent and independent space similar to another world."

"Then she sealed off all external connections, completely achieving not listening, not hearing, not understanding, and not thinking, in an attempt to avoid disaster in this way."

"But unfortunately, she failed again."

"Although the disaster was indeed delayed for a while, it still eventually came to Gensokyo."

"Even though the Dragon God-sama was prepared, it was still quickly polluted and assimilated for others who were completely ignorant."

"Thus, the surviving Dragon God-sama was forced to reverse time for the second time and came to the third playthrough..."

In the third playthrough.

The Dragon God continued to change strategies and adopted a new attempt.

Before the Double Barrier was established, she had already traveled around, shuttling back and forth between different places, looking for countermeasures.

After the Double Barrier was established, she immediately explained this matter to everyone in Gensokyo, attempting to jointly seek measures.

However, this time it was still a failed ending.

Because the Dragon God conveyed the information in advance, the time of the disaster was greatly advanced.

And Gensokyo, with all its strength, was ultimately unable to resist the arrival of the disaster.

"At this time, the Dragon God-sama was already very weak."

Yukari Yakumo sighed:

"The time reversal magic itself consumes a lot of energy, and even has a heavy burden on the origin. Even if there is a buffer time of a thousand years each time, it cannot withstand such consumption."

"The Dragon God-sama at that time was even unable to cast the time reversal spell alone."

"So she sacrificed almost all the treasures, and with the help of many still rational Gensokyo residents, she reversed time for the last time."

"This time, there was also a problem with the time precision, and it was sent back to a more distant era at once, and the extra loss further increased her burden."

"But her obsession has always been maintained, unwavering."

"After consuming a lot of treasures and barely recovering some, she once again began the journey to save Gensokyo..."

"I want to interrupt."

Chu Bai interjected:

"According to you, the current timeline is the fourth playthrough experienced by the master."

"Then I want to know what kind of reaction or countermeasures I had in the previous three playthroughs?"

If tragedy continues to happen.

Then Chu Bai wanted to know what kind of reaction the other timelines would have.

If the wisdom of different selves can be gathered, perhaps a more thoughtful plan can be thought out?

But Yukari Yakumo looked at him with complicated eyes:

"The previous three playthroughs of Gensokyo... simply did not have your existence."

"Ah?"

Chu Bai scratched his head:

"Could it be that my master never found me before, so I starved to death in the slums since I was a child?"

Yukari Yakumo shook her head:

"No, according to the Dragon God-sama - a special existence like you can be discovered immediately even if you don't try to find it."

"If there really is an existence like you, the Dragon God-sama would have contacted you long ago and classified you as an important memory."

"But in the previous three playthroughs, she had no memory of you at all."

"In other words, the previous you did not exist on Earth."
