Chapter 91: Re-entering the Timeline
From this perspective, Xie Bai’s current Godhead of Void was likely the only Godhead in all of space-time that possessed true uniqueness.
"Forget it, I shouldn't overthink things. Gamie and the other one are probably still waiting for me."
With that thought, Xie Bai activated her Shadow Return skill, locking onto Gamie’s shadow.
Hum—
As her vision shifted, Xie Bai found herself standing before that massive blue tree once again. Before she could even begin looking for Gamie, she was suddenly swarmed.
"Sister Xiaobai, you’re back!"
"While you were gone, we caught over twenty timelines!"
Under the enthusiastic embrace of the two little ones, Xie Bai found herself a bit overwhelmed.
"Um... thank you, but could you let go of me first?"
Hearing Xie Bai’s request, the two little ones scrambled off her in a slight panic.
"Guh... Sorry, Sister Xiaobai... we forgot you’re much more fragile than us..."
"When we played with that other big sister before, she could pick us both up at once. We just subconsciously thought you could too, Sister Xiaobai..."
Hearing Gamie’s apology, Xie Bai felt an even greater blow to her ego.
"Cough... It’s just picking the two of you up. Give me a little more time and I’ll be able to do it too..."
Once the atmosphere settled, the two Gamies looked at Xie Bai and presented a new challenge.
"Oh, right, Sister Xiaobai! Let’s play a game. Guess which one is the sister and which one is the brother."
"Even that other big sister couldn't guarantee she’d get it right, you know!"
"Ah... about that..."
Faced with the challenge, Xie Bai felt a bit put on the spot.
As the Space-Time Twin Gods, the two of them looked virtually identical. Even their character panels were displayed as a single unit. Unless they manifested their respective divine artifacts beforehand, Xie Bai truly couldn't tell them apart.
Aside from their different Authorities and genders, these two Gods of Space-Time were identical in every sense of the word.
I can’t exactly just reach out and start feeling around to check...
Xie Bai quickly shook her head at the thought.
"Ahem... Anyway, didn't I say I’d bring you some gifts?"
Hearing this, the two little ones were instantly distracted.
"Oh right! I remember now! Sister Xiaobai was going to bring us presents."
"So, what did you bring back? Is it something from the outside world that we haven't seen since we left?"
"Well... you should recognize these."
As she spoke, Xie Bai produced the two Time Dolls.
The moment they saw them, the two Gamies were stunned.
"Gwa! Aren't these the Variety Dolls we lost a long, long time ago? Sister Xiaobai, where did you find them?"
"But I remember there was only one Variety Doll. How did you get two, Sister Xiaobai?"
Faced with their questioning, Xie Bai fabricated a quick explanation.
"Well... I happened to find one in a certain place. But considering there are two of you, I tried to find a way to get another one. What do you think? They’re identical, right?"
Taking the Time Dolls from Xie Bai, the two Gamies subjected them to an exhaustive inspection. They discovered that whether in appearance or function, there was no difference between the two dolls.
"Gwa... Sister Xiaobai, how did you do it? No matter what method we tried before, we could never make a perfect replica. In the end, we even accidentally lost the original."
"If we had met you sooner, Sister Xiaobai, I wouldn't have been constantly bossed around just because I couldn't win against my sister... Oops, wait."
Looking at the Gamie who had quickly covered their own mouth, Xie Bai couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
"By the way, regarding these dolls, do you know who made them?"
At Xie Bai’s question, the two little ones immediately looked up.
"Are you talking about Falcant? I think I remember him being some kind of God of Time or something. We aren't very familiar with him."
"We only found out he existed when we received the doll. But I feel like that guy is totally unreliable. He didn't even consider that there might be a second person when he sent the gift."
"Is that so? I see..."
Listening to Gamie’s explanation, Xie Bai realized they didn't know much about the God of Time either.
I’ll just have to look for him inside the timelines later and see if I can find him...
While Xie Bai was pondering the God of Time, the Gamie beside her suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, Sister Xiaobai, regarding the problem with the Gate of Space-Time being prone to collapsing—we’ve made some improvements! It won't fall apart as easily as before. The downside, though, is that you can't use it to bring things out of the timelines anymore."
"Aside from that, we’ve increased the capacity of the Gate of Space-Time. It can hold multiple timelines at once now, so you won't have to go through the trouble of entering and exiting repeatedly."
Looking at the newly reconstructed Gate of Space-Time, Xie Bai instinctively reached out and patted the two little ones on their heads.
"Alright. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Just as Xie Bai was about to pull her hands away, Gamie suddenly grabbed her, refusing to let go.
"Um, Sister Xiaobai... can you pet us a little longer?"
"The way you pet us... it feels really similar to that other big sister. It’s very comforting..."
Hearing their request, Xie Bai gently rested her hands back on their heads.
"Mm... alright..."
It was quite a while before Xie Bai managed to pull herself away from the two of them. As she stepped toward the Gate of Space-Time, she could still hear the two little ones shouting final instructions and well-wishes.
"Don't worry. I'll be even faster this time."
With that, Xie Bai stepped into the Gate of Space-Time once more.
Hum—
Following a shift in perspective, Xie Bai found herself standing in the middle of a ruined city.
"Hmm... I wonder what period this timeline is from..."
She opened her map interface. Because the Boundless Floating Light automatically unlocked the Dungeon map affix, Xie Bai immediately gained a complete view of this world. However, since there were no teleportation landmarks in the Dungeon map, she had to find her destination and travel there manually.
"Found it. The Supreme Court, located on Heavenly Mountain in the center of the continent..."
Having located her destination, Xie Bai began to plan her next moves. Based on her previous experience, she only needed to kill one True God to obtain her "starting capital" of attributes. After that, she could simply go Musou and sweep the battlefield to end the Dungeon.
There was one potential issue, however.
Last time, the main reason she was able to cut down all the True Gods so easily was that the Supreme Court had been hosting a Divine Banquet, gathering all the gods in one place. It was unlikely that all the True Gods would be conveniently gathered in one spot for her to harvest this time.
But that was only a minor inconvenience.
According to the map markers, the majority of the True Gods still resided within the Supreme Court. As long as she went there to harvest most of them and gain a massive boost to her stats, she could just spend a little more time hunting down the remaining scattered gods.
After all, five minutes was more than enough time for her.
Having finalized her plan, Xie Bai prepared to set off for the Supreme Court. In the next second, a familiar voice called out from behind her.
"Little girl, what are you doing here? Did you get separated from your family while fleeing the disaster?"
Xie Bai turned around, her eyes widening instantly.
"Brandon?"
The man sitting atop the horse, clad in armor, was indeed Brandon.
Hearing the girl call out his name, Brandon looked surprised.
"Oh? It seems I’m quite famous, little girl. If you can't find your family, you can come with this uncle. I’ll take you to a safe city."
Xie Bai shook her head at Brandon’s offer. At that moment, she was busy observing Brandon’s character panel.
