At the same time, in other places, the individuals deemed as 'too strong' like Yoo Jonghyuk and his group, the hunters and the Tarot Club members also faced similar difficulties.

Thus, the sunfish died, forcing the world to reset due to the mechanism previously put in place instead of creating other world lines.

The Oldest Dream looked at the situation in puzzlement.

"Why did Han Sooyoung cause this?"

The message to the Star Stream from its 'creator' saying to eliminate all the abnormally strong individuals under the pretext of gathering probability was sent by Han Sooyoung, leading to the early end of the round.

In response, Xin Jian simply stared at him.

Then, she turned her gaze away and seized the opportunity when time was briefly stopped to visit someone.

"See you later, I'm gonna be OP for a while."

With this absurd farewell, the Oldest Dream saw her appear in Secretive Plotter's domain.

His expression became complex.

Then, he simply shook his head and decided to enjoy the show.

***

Secretive Plotter felt the strange phenomenon happen again, as if time was put on hold for a while.

Since he was an Outer God, he was situated outside the world line and wasn't affected by its reset. Thus, he also remembered the previous regressions.

Suddenly, a figure was sketched in thin air.

Her feet appeared first, then her legs and her torso to her head.

It was the mysterious constellation 'Believer in Mysteries' that could strangely bypass the laws of probability.

With a mischievous smile on the corner of her lips and emotionless eyes, the constellation was sitting cross-legged next to him. Her long brown hair cascaded down her shoulders and her pupils didn't reflect anything, as if her eyes were absorbing all the light around it.

The constellation's face didn't stand out and could be easily forgotten, but it was undoubtedly the same as when she descended into the scenarios before.

How did she come here? And why?

Secretive Plotter narrowed his eyes, waiting for the constellation's next words.

Believer in Mysteries hummed and tilted her head.

"You must have quite a few questions, right?"

Secretive Plotter didn't deny it and Believer in Mysteries' smile widened.

"Then, Yoo Jonghyuk, what do you think of this world line?"

Secretive Plotter didn't react at being called by his name and answered with another question.

"Are you the ones who made the current world line in a strange state?"

Believer in Mysteries nodded. Indeed, the Oldest Dream and her had made that specific world line reset at each regression.

Secretive Plotter then contemplated the meaning of her words.

"The current world line... is weird. It contains a lot of individuals that weren't here before, they are unusually strong too. Are you resetting the world because they wouldn't be present if other world lines were created?"

This wasn't hard to guess.

Believer in Mysteries nodded once again in approval.

"What is your goal?" He continued.
