I can rewind time to prevent death

```

"Yes!" Garcia accepted the command without hesitation.

```

[The first ripple event of the second butterfly effect has been stabilized. Proceed to repair the second ripple event, the third, the fourth…up to the 2203rd.]

The numbers rapidly changed, and Yan Junze did not have to wait long before all the ripple events affected by the butterfly effect were corrected, triggering the next line of text to pop up.

[The second butterfly effect has been stabilized.]

Immediately following, a new message emerged.

[The host cannot choose to handle the third butterfly effect personally. The Atlas will actively intervene according to the stable timeline to complete the correction. The host may observe from a third-person perspective.]

There it was!

Yan Junze guessed that the stabilization of this third butterfly effect was probably the correction interference for the severance of the hospital scene timeline that he experienced.

This interference was different from the previous corrections. In the stabilization of the first two butterfly effects, the Atlas provided two options: stabilization by Yan Junze or automatic stabilization by the Atlas. However, in this butterfly effect, there was no longer an option for Yan Junze to stabilize it himself.

The Atlas had to complete it on its own, and Yan Junze could only observe from a third-person perspective.

The imagery changed, and the view in front of Yan Junze became blurry.

However, this time, he did not appear in any scene he had experienced or had yet to visit.

Instead, he found himself standing in a pitch-black Void, and suddenly, a multitude of individual frames flooded his vision, each one representing a segment, appearing like slices of bread, stacked and floating in front of Yan Junze.

Yan Junze did nothing but watch these "bread slices" slowly separate and float up.

In front of him from left to right, a clear timeline appeared. This timeline was the one that he was currently on after the corrections had been made.

At any point along this line, he could see what he was doing at that time, and also what others were doing at the same time.

The timeline quickly brought into focus a segment from Zhen City Hospital. Yan Junze recognized it—it must have been the space-time after the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er went to the hospital following his departure from the supermarket.

The footage showed the Back-faced Woman in the pharmacy, searching for medicine in the medicine cabinet.

Ke'er was not in this room but next door, which was almost indistinguishable from what he saw during his first Great Rewind.

Although Yan Junze did not understand why this mother and daughter still went to the hospital, he knew that at this moment, there was absolutely no danger in the hospital, and they could do anything with peace of mind.

However, his past self in the cold storage who had just met Ku Zai, upon sharing the perspective of a Semi-Spirit Body with the Back-faced Woman, would no longer see them encountering any danger.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, one of the "bread slice" frames beside him flew into this segment of the timeline.

Yan Junze saw it clearly: this particular "bread slice" frame was supposed to be discarded, belonging to a segment he had seen before the first Great Rewind, which no longer belonged to this timeline.

But what happened next astonished him: as the segment flew into this timeline, it began to shed itself, discarding superfluous imagery, leaving only a few frames to merge into this timeline.

Within this timeline, Yan Junze had activated his Semi-Spirit Body and achieved perspective sharing with the Back-faced Woman.

And the Yan Junze in the cold storage, at that moment via the Back-faced Woman's perspective, saw the imagery that remained after shedding, selectively displayed before his eyes as they overlaid the current ongoing scenes of the timeline without a flaw.

In the cold storage, Yan Junze saw Ke'er appearing in the room, displaying affection before climbing onto a cabinet, holding a heart in her hands for him to see, followed by the arrival of Brown-clothed People's figures flashing at the door, surging in.

The footage shook, vanished.

The second "slice of bread" rose again, and after shedding a large number of unnecessary images, it entered a slightly later position in this timeline.

In the scenes, Yan Junze was back to the FH Community in Shuntian City during that period, and the shared perspective occasionally saw images that had been stripped and integrated.

The Back-faced Woman and Ke'er were locked in a cage. Ke'er was thrown into the cage, the Back-faced Woman was dragged, and then Ke'er screamed, enveloped by flames.

All these various scenes were clearly the contents of the earliest normal timeline that hadn't initiated the Great Rewind, now all being repurposed by the Butterfly Effect Stabilization.

Filling complete.

They seemed real, but these images, in the current timeline, were nothing more than "hallucinations" that Yan Junze from that time was utterly convinced of.

Standing in the Void, Yan Junze needed to pay no heed to anything, just watching all this quietly.

His feelings went from initial shock to slowly returning to calm.

Now he was a bit confused whether the scenes he saw first truly happened or were already modified images fixed by the Butterfly Effect Stabilization.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Too many timelines can make Yan Junze feel dizzy and have a headache at the moment.

Anyway, things had finally come to a conclusion, which was the most important thing.

Soon, a textual prompt emerged before his eyes.

[The 3rd Butterfly Effect is undergoing self-repair.]

...

[The 3rd Butterfly Effect has stabilized.]

His head started to spin, the timeline before him disappeared, and all the "slice of bread" image fragments also vanished.

Yan Junze looked down and realized he was once again standing in the eerie Void with time scales in front of him.

Everything around him was in a permanent state of stillness. He turned his head slightly to look at the stars, then silently recited the instructions to return.

A Space-Time Rift appeared out of nowhere before his eyes.

The Space-Time Rift, being in a state of extreme decay just like when he entered, was as thin and short.

Yan Junze bent down and stepped forward. Walking on the Void as if on flat ground, he reached the rift, bent over, pushed it aside with both hands like lifting a tattered curtain, and crawled in.

The rift turned into a point and then disappeared.

Tianmeng District, on the outskirts of Shuntian City, at the Zhulin Road three-way intersection.

The Void trembled, and a very faint, partially open Space-Time Rift suddenly appeared.

Yan Junze seemed to be squeezed out from the rift by a powerful force, tumbling out and landing on all fours next to the edge of the road, looking towards the direction of the SUV parked askew in the middle of the road.

Inside the black SUV, Qian San was still unconscious.

And in front of the vehicle, the Clay Monster had completely taken control over Ku Zai, causing Ku Zai's mouth to gape open. A large mass of clay was converging to surge into his body through Ku Zai's mouth.

This scene was precisely the moment just before Yan Junze had initially entered the Space-Time Rift.
