43: She has always had eyes for him throughout her life!

Outside the company building, Li Mu saw Shi Niang holding the future stone in her hand, and the smile on his lips was almost impossible to suppress.

This scene truly satisfied him; he had originally thought it would take a while longer!

Then, Li Mu looked at Shi Niang inside the company, thought for a moment, and finally opened the System diary page to begin writing new content.

“October 6th, Sunny.”

“I set off for Chengyang City, originally intending to retrieve the future stone.”

“But I didn’t expect Shi Niang to have gotten the future stone. Doesn’t that mean Shi Niang saw a glimpse of her future?”

“When Shi Niang first told me a future stone had fallen into their company, I didn’t think much of it. But now, thinking about it suddenly, doesn’t it mean that at that time, Shi Niang already knew that I would be with her in the future?”

“No, no! The future stone’s energy can only sustain one person viewing their own future. Once the energy is exhausted, the future stone will turn into powder!”

“So, is this a butterfly effect formed after my Rebirth, which led to this current scene?”

Meanwhile, in the direction of the capital.

Grand Elder looked at the diary in his hand, his face showing no particular expression. He appeared very calm, merely deep in thought.

“A future stone that can see the future, huh…”

“If I could obtain this stone, wouldn’t it mean I could grasp future events? And thus, better prepare?”

Just as Grand Elder was still pondering these thoughts, he suddenly saw new content in the diary, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

“Originally, this future stone was obtained by the official authorities, and then used by Grand Elder, who saw some scenes of his own future. He then made many plans in advance based on the events that were going to happen in the future.”

“I didn’t expect it to be used by Shi Niang ahead of time now. Doesn’t that mean all of Grand Elder’s future plans and arrangements are gone?”

“That is indeed a problem…”

“Should I go to the capital to remind Grand Elder?”

“…………”

“Forget it. Even if I went, Grand Elder probably wouldn’t believe such a fantastical story.”

“Moreover, while Grand Elder’s plans and arrangements could reduce some losses and casualties after the Spiritual Qi resurgence, compared to the disaster of the Spiritual Qi resurgence at that time, the reduced losses and casualties were almost negligible.”

“For now, I should focus on my own plan and not let other matters delay its progress!”

“When the time comes, as long as the various Gods revive and Earth is protected by the Gods, it should be safe…”

“As for this future stone, I had originally planned to retrieve it, but since Shi Niang has used it, then so be it…”

“I’m just curious what her reaction will be when she sees the scene of us being together in the future.”

Upon seeing this passage, Grand Elder was slightly stunned.

He hadn't expected that this future stone, in the original timeline, was actually obtained by him!

And he had even made many plans and arrangements based on the scenes he saw within this future stone.

However, the future stone's energy could only sustain one use, and now that Shi Niang had used it, he felt a bit regretful.

But just as the diary recorded, since his arrangements and plans would ultimately only have a negligible effect, it didn't matter whether they were made or not.

From what Li Mu revealed in his diary, his plan seemed to be setting up a grand scheme: to have all the Gods revive after the Spiritual Qi resurgence!

Based on the information revealed in Li Mu’s diary, with the strength of the Immortals in ancient Chinese mythology, it should not be difficult to defeat the invaders from other worlds.

It’s just that…

What worried Grand Elder was, after those Gods revived.

Would they truly protect Earth?

This worry was like a thorn, piercing Grand Elder’s heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

Because the revival of Gods was something that even the world before Li Mu’s Rebirth had never achieved!

…………

Li Mu floated invisibly in mid-air, continuously watching Shi Niang, who stood silently inside the company building.

Inside the company, when everyone saw Shi Niang as if she were frozen in place, they immediately became even more hesitant to approach.

Because they also feared that they would become like Shi Niang, frozen in place and unable to move.

Some people who had a good relationship with Shi Niang even started calling the police and dialing emergency medical services, etc…

They just didn’t know that at this moment, Shi Niang was watching some scenes of her “future.”

These scenes weren't entirely edited by Li Mu himself; Li Mu directly copied the decades of the cultivation simulation, only adding some concluding parts himself.

As time passed, seemingly a minute or two.

But Shi Niang had watched her entire “future” life!

She saw that in the future, Spiritual Qi would resurge, leading to the invasion of other worlds due to the birth of numerous Genius and Spiritual Fruits, causing a large-scale reduction in human habitats.

She also saw that after encountering disaster, she “first” met Li Mu. At that time, his sunny and healing smile dispelled the fear and panic in her heart, giving her a full sense of security.

Then, gradually, the two interacted more and more, developed feelings for each other, and finally got together.

She also saw that Li Mu, wanting her to always be by his side, risked his life to snatch a Talent Spiritual Fruit from the invaders of another world.

When Li Mu returned with the Talent Spiritual Fruit, his severely injured appearance made her, as an observer, feel a pang of heartache.

And in the scene, Li Mu, returning with the Talent Spiritual Fruit, immediately went home and handed the Spiritual Fruit to “her.”

At this moment, looking at herself in the scene, Shi Niang suddenly felt a bit envious of her.

The injuries Li Mu sustained this time took more than two months to recover!

She also saw that later, Li Mu was in low spirits, often sighing or spacing out.

Only after asking did she learn that Xing Mulan, who used to always like to revolve around her husband, had been killed…

An entire squad, with no survivors!

Due to the betrayal of A-san, Grand Elder’s plan failed completely, resulting in heavy losses.

Upon seeing this, Shi Niang also felt a pang of heartache.

She recalled the scenes she had seen before: Xing Mulan, who always liked to revolve around Li Mu and chat whenever she had free time, with that naturally clumsy and endearing personality, was very likable.

Initially, she had even wondered if Li Mu would be snatched away by Xing Mulan or something similar.

But later, hearing about Xing Mulan’s sacrifice, Shi Niang also felt a bit lost…

In the later scenes, she saw the members around her husband disappear one after another, with one piece of bad news after another arriving.

She saw that her husband’s face, which had initially been filled with a brilliant smile, gradually lost that smile.

He was silent and taciturn all day, and always prone to melancholy, thinking of his past experiences with his companions; only when he was in front of her would he show a slight smile.

It seemed he didn’t want her to worry, but she could see that the smile was no longer the brilliant, sunny, and healing smile it once was…
