Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1253 - 648: You Also Experienced Time Travel_3

At this moment, Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Chang Yin, and the creature were sitting in the treehouse.

Behind the creature, a little one was hiding, only its face with two eyes open, curiously observing the three people in front of it.

”You actually have a child too...” Chang Yin said in surprise.

”...You could say it’s my child.”

The creature opened the eye at the back of its head, glanced at the little creature, and then said, ”I know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry, your wife and child are still in their original position. I just teleported you and most of the stone creatures to the surface, then sent you next to this world tree. I left a portion of the Stone Giant Beasts, so there’s no need to worry about their safety.”

”...That’s good.” Chang Yin obviously breathed a sigh of relief, then asked somewhat puzzled, ”Why did you only bring me and half of the stone creatures here, and using this method?”

Chang Yin didn’t have any hostility toward the creature, his tone wasn’t heavy either.

He seemed to have a decent relationship with the creature.

”Because, only this way, it’s less likely for those guys to discover, and it allows you to reach the world tree in the quickest way.”

The creature paused for a moment and said, ”Within the influence range of this world tree, I can only teleport myself, but I can no longer use the previous method to teleport you here, so I can only send you to the nearest unaffected area and let you walk over.”

”Then why let them be fully controlled, losing consciousness?” Xu Xin asked.

”...It’s faster this way, and I also worry he’d run away.” The creature looked at Chang Yin.

”Run away.” Chang Yin was initially stunned and then shook his head slightly, ”Where could I run to? The surface is already unrecognizable; where else can we go?”

The creature remained silent.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both had a peculiar glint in their eyes.

The origin of Chang Yin is a real mystery.

Xu Xin had heard Chang Yin recount his experiences the first time he met him.

This world was ravaged by the red glow, half the planet’s creatures turned into monsters, and it was Chang Yin who first told him.

Chang Yin survived that catastrophe.

However, Chang Yin had said that this disaster occurred fifty years ago, and he had only stayed in the underground world for fifty years.

But the fact now is that the disaster happened a millennium ago.

That means Chang Yin and his family actually survived from a thousand years ago until now!

Now, there are only two possibilities.

The first is that Chang Yin was lying to him at the time.

The second is that Chang Yin didn’t lie, but his understanding was wrong.

Xu Xin had a hypothesis.

Chang Yin didn’t survive from a thousand years ago.

Because, when he encountered the first batch of survivors, his body hadn’t petrified yet.

A non-petrified body couldn’t possibly endure a thousand years.

There’s only one possibility.

Chang Yin went through time travel!

Yes, that’s it!

Only because Chang Yin experienced time travel was Xu Xin’s mind-reading ability unable to read his mind.

This explanation made sense!

So you went through time travel too, Chang Yin.

The key now is whether Chang Yin actively engaged in time travel or if he wasn’t aware of his time traveling.

Regardless of the possibility, Xu Xin had many questions for him.

Especially regarding why he petrified.

Where did his petrifying ability come from?

There are indeed many secrets in the Chang Yin family’s lineage.

He wanted to ask earlier, but since Chang Yin was anxious to find the creature to confirm the safety of Xue Lan and Xiaohong, Xu Xin brought him here first.

”I still don’t quite understand.” Chang Yin said, confused, ”The Stone Giant Beast has blood pattern mutant bloodlines before petrification, so you can control stone creatures, but... why can you make me lose my consciousness too?”

Yes, why was Chang Yin controlled?

Xu Xin was puzzled about this too.

”...Don’t forget, it was I who had Xu Xin bring your family out of the underground city.” The eyes on the creature’s face opened a few and said, ”I’ve been interested in you for these fifty years.”

Chang Yin was silent for a few seconds and said, ”You researched the method to control me in these fifty years? Yes... the voice in my head, the one that told me that after I left and found the Stone Statue Altar to worship, I could restore my human body, was you, wasn’t it.”

”Not me, but indeed at my command.” The creature said.

Stone Statue Altar.

Xu Xin’s heart stirred.

The altar where he first witnessed blood pattern creatures.

The first blood pattern creature he saw, that Blood Pattern Rabbit, jumped out from the shattered stone statue of that altar.

Later, that altar was destroyed by Qin Fu’s actions.

At that time, Qin Fu had brought out a key that could open the big door on the third floor of the Crystal Palace from there, and also led a Blood Pattern Giant to Xu Xin’s treehouse, fortunately destroyed by Xu Xin using a powerful weapon.

Though it probably wasn’t dead.

Was that altar related to the creature?

But the altar kept the key that opened the door in the Crystal Palace, and the Blood Pattern Giant was keen on guarding that key.

Was that altar connected to another time-space Xu Xin?

Xu Xing felt his head was reeling.

...In any case, the creature likely wasn’t as ignorant about stone creatures as it pretended.

Since it could utilize that stone creature altar, it surely knows something.

Let’s see how it and Chang Yin will explain all this.
