Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 228 – Time reversal

"Master, we should leave here quickly. If someone finds us, they'll think we're the culprits."

Xiao Bai's familiar voice echoed in Li Meng's mind, causing his expression to freeze.

"Huh, huh!"

Li Meng's surprised exclamation echoed through the forest.

He stood up and looked around.

His eyes, hidden behind a silver mask, scanned the surroundings with uncertainty.

The familiar carriage, the familiar corpses, the familiar scene of a bandit ambush.

Three days ago, he should have already left this place.

Why was he back here again?

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Xiao... Xiao Bai, I think I've returned to three days ago."

"Returned to three days ago? Master, what do you mean?"

"Literally, three days ago I left here, but now I'm back to three days ago."

Li Meng was sure he had indeed returned to three days ago.

Just minutes ago, he had arrived at a human town.

As soon as he saw the town walls, in the next instant, he was back three days ago.

"Xiao Bai, is there any magic in this world similar to time reversal?"

"Time reversal? Master, are you sure?"

"If it wasn't a dream, I'm sure!"

"I've heard some divine children have very special abilities. Perhaps a divine child activated time reversal."

"Divine child? What's that?"

"Divine children are a very special kind of people. They are born with unique abilities called powers. Some powers can even affect the entire world, like the time reversal you mentioned."

"Is such a thing possible?"

Li Meng found it hard to believe.

Such abilities were beyond comprehension.

"This world operates on magic, and magic is omnipotent."

"Xiao Bai, then why don't you remember these three days?"

"Since it's time reversal, naturally, no one except the caster would remember future events."

"Then why do I remember?"

"I don't know!"

Standing up again, Li Meng left this troublesome place.

Walking along the forest path, Li Meng pondered silently.

Why hadn't he encountered such a thing before in the Goblin Forest?

"Xiao Bai, does time reversal affect a specific area or the entire world?"

"Of course, the entire world. If it were just a specific area, the world would become incomplete."

In a flash, Li Meng dashed forward.

His speed was so fast that only a shadow could be seen passing through the forest path.

Three days later, in the morning.

On the forest path, beside the carriage.

Li Meng, crouching beside a corpse, shivered.

He stood up, looking around with a speechless expression.

"Xiao Bai, I'm back again!"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Time reversal, I've returned to three days ago. This is the second time."

"You explained it to me last time. It should be the power of a divine child."

"Xiao Bai, do you have a way to break this?"

He couldn't be trapped in these three days forever.

Although for others, these three days didn't exist.

But Li Meng had memories of these three days.

That guy didn't know what he encountered.

Two time reversals, yet he still couldn't get through the crisis.

"Sorry, Master, I'm powerless."

Xiao Bai's response was expected by Li Meng.

After all, in Xiao Bai's eyes, nothing had happened.

It believed him because he was its master.

"Master, we can only wait, wait for that divine child to get through this crisis."

"Alright, then let's wait."

Li Meng turned and entered the depths of the forest.

Under a big tree, Li Meng leaped up.

His body soared into the air, landing on a thick branch.

Sitting on the branch, Li Meng patiently waited.

Time passed bit by bit.

The next morning, a scream echoed outside.

Passersby discovered the corpses on the road.

Before nightfall, a team of cavalry arrived at the scene.

After burning the corpses, they hurriedly left.

"Xiao Bai, why did they burn the corpses? Wouldn't burying them be easier?"

"Master, if the corpses aren't burned, they'll become undead creatures."

Hmm, learned another piece of knowledge.

Goblins, as scavengers, were indeed better.

Not to mention leaving corpses, they wouldn't even leave bones.

Three days later, on the forest path.

"That guy is really unfortunate!"

Li Meng stood up with a speechless expression and walked towards the forest depths.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Time reversal, this is the third time."

Deep in the forest, Li Meng jumped onto that big tree again.

Sitting on the branch, Li Meng continued to wait.

The next morning, at the same time, a scream echoed on the forest path.

In the afternoon, before nightfall, the cavalry arrived at the same time.

Three days later, the fourth time reversal occurred.

Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...

"That guy can't survive past the third day, no matter what?"

Under the big tree, Li Meng leaped up onto a thick branch.

"Xiao Bai, this is the eighth time."

Li Meng looked up at the sky beyond the tree canopy with a speechless expression.

"This is like being in prison, Xiao Bai, is there really no solution?"

"There is, find the divine child using time reversal, kill him or help him through this crisis, but the condition for using time reversal might be death, so you have to find him."

"The world is so big, it's impossible to find him, right?"

"The possibility is almost zero. Even if you know where he is, if it's not within a place you can reach in three days, it doesn't matter."

That's true, three days isn't long.

If the divine child using time reversal is three thousand kilometers away.

There's no way to reach him in three days.

"So if he can't get through this crisis, will it loop forever?"

"No, using powers like time reversal must come with a price. Master, you might just need to patiently wait. After all, time is stagnant. Even if it loops ten thousand times, time will remain fixed in these three days."

"That's true!"

Li Meng glanced slightly towards the northwest.

There seemed to be something in that direction.

It was an illusion, but the feeling grew stronger.

And so, Li Meng repeated each day.

The screaming passersby, the cavalry, the fire burning the corpses.

Every three days, a cycle, with no change in time.

"Xiao Bai, this is the 21st time."

"Master, sorry, I... I can't think of a solution."

"If the condition for using his time reversal power is death, he should have collapsed by now."

"Perhaps, Master, why do you keep looking towards the northwest?"

"It feels like there's something in that direction, and the feeling is getting stronger."

"Go take a look. The intuition of a strong person like you is very important."

"Alright, let's go check it out!"

Li Meng leaped down from the tree.
