Chapter 194 It's not that he can't be killed, it's that he shouldn't be killed.
At this moment, time quietly slipped past the threshold of midnight, and inside the fireplace-filled house, everything was gently embraced by the soft, deep night. Moonlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains...
The rain sprinkled inside, draping the sleeping space in a silvery veil. The children's breathing was even and calm, while outside the fireplace-filled house...
The whole world fell silent. Deep in the forest, the creatures that were usually cunning or ferocious were now huddled in their little burrows.
They dream their own dreams, with only a few night owls still searching for food in the darkness, while those once enormous monsters, those normally fearsome beings...
Now they let their guard down, their breathing heavy and even, occasionally punctuated by soft snoring, and the rustling of leaves in the night wind.
Just as everything was in such a peaceful atmosphere, suddenly, a huge, transparent flash of light spread out from the center of the fireplace house.
The flash spread incredibly fast, reaching the entire continent of Teyvat in a matter of seconds, and then expanding to the entire planet within the next few seconds.
As the transparent flash spread, all of Teyvat fell silent; the monsters and small animals sleeping under the stars couldn't see anything.
But the nocturnal animals that were foraging for food were frozen in place, completely still. Even the birds flying in the sky seemed to be suspended in mid-air, and even when their gaze fell upon Mondstadt...
Venti, the wind god, who was sitting on a large tree playing his harp, now had his hands resting on the strings, and the gentle expression he had worn while playing was now frozen on his face.
The entire world seemed frozen in time by some kind of energy, from which no living being could escape. At this moment, inside Sinaqi's room in the House of the Hearth...
Qiuhe was also lying on the warm bed, fast asleep, and he was still wearing a girl's nightgown, seemingly having transformed back into Qiuhe from Sinaqi.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Qiuhe's bed. When the figure fully materialized, it was Qin Yuming. Qin Yuming was staring at Qiuhe on the bed with a grim expression and immediately reached out and locked Qiuhe's neck.
"I now not only possess 1000 points of combat power, but I also have many spatial skills, and I can even control time stop. Even if I speak loudly now, no living being can do anything to me."
In other words, as long as I don't undo the time loop now, I'm practically invincible; I can do whatever I want! So, System, why do you say I can't kill him?
Qin Yuming's tone gradually shifted from agitation to anger, as if he were questioning the system in his mind. "Ding! Host's emotional instability detected."
"The system knows you're in a hurry, but please don't rush." Upon hearing this, Qin Yuming instantly threw a punch, slamming it into the wall beside him.
With a deafening roar, a single punch shattered the entire Hearth House into countless fragments, but time was frozen in time.
At this moment, all the fragments were still floating in the air without falling. "System, I'm in a very bad mood right now. You'd better give me a reason why I can't kill him."
He's just a guy without a system. Even if he's powerful enough to reset the world, he can't even move right now. His life is completely in my hands.
"With just the slightest movement of my five fingers, his neck would snap instantly. Tell me, why can't I kill him?!" Hearing Qin Yuming's furious question...
The system also proceeded with its unhurried narration:
"Ding! The target's body contains unknown energy."
"This unknown energy does not belong to Durin, nor to any other Daedric power, nor to Teyvat."
"This unknown energy is one of the three symbiotes within this person's body."
"And this symbiote is at a level far higher than Dulin's, and the other two symbiotes."
Strictly speaking, this symbiote is an unknown entity that transcends everything else.
"If this body exhibits signs of life cessation..."
"Or rather, what if this body dies?"
"The symbiote within this body will then be awakened."
"If that symbiote is awakened because this body dies."
"Then the world will be reset again."
"And as the one who killed this body, you will naturally be completely erased by that symbiote."
"At that time, you will truly die, unable to escape the cycle of reincarnation; your three souls and seven spirits will vanish into nothingness—a true death."
After hearing the system's words, Qin Yuming fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again. "Then how can I kill him?"
"Ding! If the host wishes to kill the person before him, there are only two ways."
"1. Unlock Peruvée's affection level to 10 and obtain a conceptual skill."
"You can erase anything you want to erase with a single thought, including that symbiote."
"2. Let the symbiote disappear on its own."
How can I make it disappear on its own?
"Ding! The system cannot provide an answer; the symbiote is undetectable."
"The system is aware of its existence, but cannot detect any information related to it."
"However, through system examination, it can be determined that this body had detached itself from that symbiote at a certain point in time."
"Therefore, as long as we find a way to deal with the symbiotic relationship with glass, we can eliminate this potential danger."
"Here, I present to you, the most considerate, kindest, cutest, most charming, most beautiful, talented, exceptionally elegant, and gentle invincible system, Jingjing."
The success probability of the two methods above has been estimated for you.
The feasibility of Method 1 is 5%.
The feasibility of Method 2 is 0.01%.
Hearing the system's words, Qin Yuming's face darkened to the point of blending into the night. After a few seconds of silence, Qin Yuming was filled with resentment.
He slowly released his grip on Qiu's neck, and at the same time snapped his fingers. With that snap, time in the entire world rapidly reversed.
The fireplace house, which he had just shattered with a single punch, was restored to its original state without any damage. After doing all this, Qin Yuming turned and left, saying as he walked:
"System, you said that absolute erasure, that it can erase everything, right?"
"Ding! Reply to host, yes."
"Hmph, then can I erase you?"
"Ding! Okay, but the system is connected to all of the host's rewards. If the system disappears, it means that all of the host's rewards will also be erased."
Hearing this, Qin Yuming also showed great displeasure. "Ding! Host's mood is detected to be very bad."
"Here, I present to you, the most considerate, kindest, cutest, most charming, most beautiful, talented, exceptionally elegant, and gentle invincible system, Jingjing."
"A target for your venting has been selected, and the address has been sent to your mind. You can send it at any time."
"Oh? Another child?"
"Ding! Host, you have mastered the ability to control your aging process. Even if you're a child, you'll still be happy."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuming slowly let out a very wicked laugh, "Hahaha, the kindest system~ It really understands me."
As Qin Yuming spoke, his voice vanished instantly. After an unknown amount of time, a beam of white, transparent light spread from a luxurious villa in Fengdanting throughout the entire world.
As the transparent barrier of light dissipated, time returned to normal, and the alternation of the sun and moon, as well as the laws of the world, resumed their normal operation.
Venti, the wind god who sat on a tree in Mondstadt playing his harp, had returned to normal, but he did not continue playing. Instead, he slowly put the harp down and felt the breath of the wind.
The playful, carefree face she usually wore had vanished, replaced by endless melancholy and worry.
After time resumed its normal operation, Qiuhe, who was lying on the bed, coughed violently a few times. "Cough~. Cough cough cough. Sigh~. Cough! Cough cough."
Feeling a strange suffocating sensation on his neck, Qiuhe was also awakened, but just as he was about to get up with a pained expression, he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
He then sat up halfway, took a couple of breaths, and then collapsed back down. When Qiuhe regained consciousness, he found himself no longer in bed.
Instead, he lay in a pitch-black space. As Qiuhe slowly sat up, right in front of him was Dulin's large nose, which seemed to be breathing out a long puff of mist in great anger.
After waving away the fog, Qiuhe looked at Dulin with some confusion and asked, "Dulin, why did you call me here in the middle of the night?"
Qiuhe seemed to remember something at this point, then looked at the clothes she was wearing and realized they were the girl's pajamas. "What... did I turn into Sinaki and then turn back?"
