Chapter 588 - 301: Slaughter Feast, Absolute Luck_1
[...]
[You descend from your sword and gaze at the verdant forest before you...]
Lin Xun spent a considerable amount of time examining the ’Mysterious Forest’, but strangely, he couldn’t find any trace of the ancient tree people, not even a single small tree person.
The mysterious life-giving lake had also disappeared, along with the seedlings of the life tree.
The ’Mysterious Forest’ seemed no different from an ordinary forest, populated only by birds, animals, insects, and vegetation, with no trace of tree people.
He suddenly remembered the hint given by the underworld game when he entered the Chapter.
’Since you have obtained an ’SSS’ rating in the main Chapter of this egg Chapter, the relevant characters and events in this Chapter will evolve based on your progress, altering the plot to some extent!’
"So, even if I travel back to earlier Chapters, I can’t reclaim the rewards I’ve already received?"
Lin Xun thought that was very likely the case, and this was why the underworld game had removed the existence of related rewards.
The vast changes in geographical features between Chapter 323 of the main plot and Chapter 326 of the egg plot could have rationalized the act of erasing old rewards, according to the underworld game’s explanation to the Apostles.
Having confirmed that there were no previous rewards to claim, he had to reach Saint Lance immediately.
