Player Reload

Following the timeline, the man with the bandages became a player on the Side of Truth over four years ago, and after three years established the Evil Science Alliance, gaining immense power.

At this time the Mercury Alloy Guild came seeking help, and the Side of Truth guided and suggested the guild to look for the Retrospection Room, resulting in Mercury Alloy being trapped in the time Mystery Lock.

One year later, a new team of players emerged. Li Cheng killed Mithril and, using the time turbulence, sent the man with the bandages back over four years, completing the cycle by becoming a player.

There are two issues here. First, why couldn’t the Side of Truth, having been teleported back in time, save his own wife and children?

Second, to what extent did the Side of Truth exercise subjective initiative to facilitate the cycle?

The man with the bandages, when at Lv1, already knew the player IDs of people like Ant, Zhao Zijing, and Driver, so after he became the Side of Truth, did he keep a long-term watch on these individuals, guiding them onto the "correct" cyclic track?

Hearing Li Cheng’s questions, the Side of Truth sat up slightly straight, and calmly said: "Yes, and no.

I was shattered by the time turbulence and really was sent back over four years, just in time to witness the funeral of my wife and children."

The Side of Truth noticed the expression on Li Cheng’s face and smiled, explaining: "Don’t worry. At that time, I was indeed in utter despair and felt utter hopelessness, but paradoxically, the reward for the Electric Energy Retrospection task included a soul-type item,

allowing me to gather their remaining souls, preventing them from being completely dissipated."

Beneath the hood of the Side of Truth, a light began to shine.
