Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Brother Feng left, Chi Shuyan returned to her room and took out the white jade. There was a quick flash of white light, and the white jade flew up and hovered in the air. Dense words appeared.

She remembered that apart from the Mystic Yin Arts, which she cultivated, there were also many supernatural things and some arrays and pill formulas recorded in the white jade.

She specially skimmed through the large section on the supernatural and took a closer look, wanting to find something similar to what she had encountered in the village. However, after scanning most of it, she couldn’t find anything similar.

It wasn’t until she reached the second last entry that Chi Shuyan found something. It was a record of a strange incident in a village that was very similar to what was happening in Dashan Village.

It recorded that there had also been an accident in the village and the entire village had died, but the people went about their lives as usual, going out in the morning and resting at night. It was just that they sometimes acted strangely, sometimes normally, at night. In short, unless a person encountered a villager acting strangely, no passer-by would notice at all.

Chi Shuyan’s heart raced when she saw this description, and she saw a description of an array below that – it was called the Time Rewind Array.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes were fixed on the words ‘Time Rewind Array.’ As the name implied, the Time Rewind Array could indeed reverse time. Not only could this array reverse time, it could make everything except people go back in time. What happened before would happen again, but the essence wouldn’t change.

There was an example below, and Chi Shuyan read it seriously.

It was recorded that one village had also died in an accident. Later, a grief-stricken Celestial Master, who had family in the village, specially set up a Time Rewind Array in this village.

After that, everything in the village went back to the past, just as the Celestial Master had expected. However, everyone in the village had died in the accident. They were already dead. Even with the Time Rewind Array, it was impossible to turn the dead back into living people.

All their memories were stuck in the past.

Although the array couldn’t turn the dead back into living people, it could make their memories linger in the past. The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

So, the dead in that village thought that they were ordinary people. They lived and acted like normal people.

It was just that these people were different from ordinary living people after they died. Ordinary ghosts could suppress their desires, so they didn’t harm people, and were like normal people at night.

However, some ghosts couldn’t control their instincts, so they often lost their rationality at night and couldn’t help but harm people.

Seeing this, Chi Shuyan finally had an idea as to why the villagers here acted strangely sometimes.

Chi Shuyan continued reading. There was more detailed information, but it was all about the specific flaws and advantages of the Time Rewind Array.

For example, this Time Rewind Array could nourish a person’s soul and make it more and more solid so that it was similar to that of a normal person. This was its strength.

Its disadvantage was that although this Time Rewind Array could reverse time, it could only rewind time to the most recent period, and repeat this period over and over again in a loop.

Not only that, what happened back then in that period of time would happen again.

For example, if the village was caught up in a flood back then, the flood would happen again when the time came and everyone would experience death once more.

At this point, Chi Shuyan’s expression gradually turned terrible. She continued reading, but there was only a short summary below. It said that some Celestial Masters with virtuous intentions used the Time Rewind Array to commemorate their loved ones and reunite with them in this way. Some Celestial Masters used the Time Rewind Array to imprison a soul to satisfy their own selfish desires, so that the soul would never be able to escape its shackles and be reincarnated. They used cadaveric qi to cultivate and even reared some evil creatures, and even harmed people.

Speaking of harming people, some Celestial Masters also let ordinary people enter a dead village that had a Time Rewind Array on it, and these ordinary people would experience the original trajectory with these dead people.

If something happened to the village again, these ordinary people would also die.

After reading the last sentence, Chi Shuyan finally understood all the hidden mysteries of Dashan Village. She didn’t look away immediately, but stared fixedly at the words ‘no way out.’

She now very much suspected that someone had set up a Time Rewind Array on this village.

Thinking of the Time Rewind Array, she couldn’t help but recall the date of 29 June in Pan Dalei’s residence and the date written next to the ninth drawing, 30 June.

She thought of the content of the ninth drawing, which was too tragic. It was still fresh in her memory. Dark clouds covered the sky, houses collapsed and the people were hit by rocks. Soon, the surrounding mountains suddenly collapsed and the entire village was buried in an instant, with nothing and no one left.

If there really was a Time Rewind Array here, and it was 29 June today, then tomorrow would be 30 June. If something really happened in Dashan Village on 30 June… Chi Shuyan thought about the content of the ninth drawing and the last sentence recorded in the white jade.

Chi Shuyan’s face changed drastically and she immediately stood up. She was so agitated that her body swayed and she even knocked over a chair next to her. The loud bang alerted Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan, who had just sent Yang Kun back.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan rushed in and saw that Master Chi’s expression was terrible and livid under the light. Their hearts thumped and they hurriedly asked nervously, “Sister… Sister-in-law, what… what’s wrong? Did something big happen again?”

Because the truth came too unexpectedly and caught her off guard, Chi Shuyan’s face didn’t soften at all even when she saw Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. She suppressed the panic in her heart and found her voice. She forced herself to calm down as she said to Wu Haoming, “Can you immediately consult the relevant department to investigate what happened on 30 June in Dashan Village?”
