“There are many parallel worlds in this universe. The Time Control Department’s aim is to take care of these parallel worlds. So many weird things appeared in our world because something happened to the parallel worlds.”

Qi He explained for a while before Ming Shu understood what the Time Control Department was.

At the start, they didn’t know about this, either. However, as more and more strange things started appearing in their world, they started searching for the reason.

This was when they realized that there were many parallel worlds in the universe. The Time Control Department was formed.

For some reason, the parallel worlds started overlapping.

The mission of the Time Control Department was to maintain the stability of these worlds.

Those worlds were different from their world. The reason such problems occurred was because of one person or thing.

The Time Control Department tried to rectify the different worlds. If they couldn’t rectify them, they had to destroy the worlds.

The disappearance of a world affected the overlapping of the different worlds. The Time Control Department had to take care of these consequences too.

If they didn’t stabilize these worlds, the parallel worlds would collide and cause a space explosion. This explosion would affect the world they lived in.

“They are just parallel worlds. If they are destroyed, another world will appear. It is not the main world.”

Ming Shu suddenly said this.

Qi He looked at her. There was a glint in his eyes.

“Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong? Derivative worlds can be recreated, right?”

Qi He didn’t know about this.

“Why do you say that?”

Ming Shu looked at him. “You don’t know?”

Parallel worlds were derivative worlds. These worlds appeared because a lucky person—someone like a protagonist—made different decisions. Each decision this person made created a world.

All these worlds had a main world. The derivative worlds came from this main world.

For instance, a lucky protagonist living in World #1 had two choices, A and B.

The protagonist chose B. However, A should be the correct choice.

Hence, a derivative world appeared. This was World 1-B.

When the people in World 1-B made other wrong choices, Worlds 1-C, -D, -E, -F would appear. As this cycle continued, more derivative worlds were created.

There were many lucky people in each world. The decisions made by each lucky person created derivative worlds.

As time went by, more and more derivative worlds appeared.

They were like trees that grow more branches as time passes.

But, no matter what happened, there was only one main world, World #1. The progress in this world was the most important.

These were the 3000 small worlds that Little Beastie mentioned when it said “3000 big worlds and 3000 small worlds.”

Small worlds referred to the derivative worlds. They were the lowest tier worlds.

Ming Shu explained using an example. “The world that we were in before kept resetting because it progressed in the wrong way.

“Of course, not every world had this power. That world... will probably become one of the 3000 small worlds.”

Qi Yu was puzzled. “The worlds can be changed?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Of course. Derivative worlds can become small worlds and small worlds can become big worlds. However, this is a rare occurrence.

“Derivative worlds cannot affect the main world. This means that there is a problem with your main world.” Ming Shu looked at them after she finished speaking. “Do you understand what I said?”

There was no change in Qi He’s expression. Ming Shu didn’t know if he understood her.

Qi Yu asked, “What will happen if a problem occurs in the main world?”

Ming Shu looked sideways at him. She smiled. “When something happens to the main world, the derivative worlds...”

She clapped her hands. “Boom, disappear.

“However, this is not important. Even if one small world disappears, there are still many other small worlds.” 3000 was just an estimate. No one knew the exact number of small worlds.

Also, derivative worlds could upgrade to become a small world. Hence, the destruction of a small world didn’t matter much.

Qi He: “...” My head hurts.

He was supposed to be the one explaining, but their roles were reversed.

“How can you solve a problem that happened in the main world?” They thought that the other worlds affected them but instead, their world was the one that had a problem.

So they cured the symptoms, but not the disease?

Ming Shu replied casually, “This is complicated but still possible. You can get someone to patch the world.”

“Patch the world?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Yes. You need someone who can save the world?”

Why were there protagonists?

Because in some worlds, they needed someone like the protagonist to save them or make the right decision.

Of course... there were some people who were just lucky.

How enviable.

But there was nothing they could do.

Qi He thought for a moment. “How do you patch the world?”

Ming Shu started talking nonsense. “That will depend on what is wrong with your world. Maybe you need to make some sacrifice or kill someone.”

Qi Yu: “...” This is bullshit! Liar!

Ming Shu placed her arm on Qi Yu’s shoulder. “I have answered all of your questions. It’s time for me to ask: How do you all know my name?”

Qi He finally pulled himself out of his confused thoughts.

He said, “It’s the Apocalypse.”

Ming Shu looked at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu shook his head innocently. “The bond between the Apocalypse and I was created in the zombie world...”

Ming Shu thought for a moment. So his bond was only created then.

The people from the Time Control Department were able to enter the different worlds because of the Apocalypse.

Qi Yu had the most important part.

“The Apocalypse...” Ming Shu held Qi Yu’s hand while she thought about something.

She was suddenly enlightened.

She muttered to herself, “When small worlds are destroyed, there will be a form of energy produced. If someone wanted the energy of this world...”

Ming Shu suddenly stopped.

The energy of the world.

The Harmony System...

F**k!

Was it trying to get the energy of the world?!

Fake female protagonists were lucky people too. The Harmony System couldn’t get the energy from each world directly and it didn’t dare to face the protagonists. Hence, it tried to get energy from destroying the fake female protagonists...

It was a slow process but if it gathered up all the energy...

Ming Shu shivered.

She must be thinking too much.

The Harmony System was not harmonious, but it shouldn’t be so cruel, right?

I don’t want to brainwash myself but if the Harmony System really had this intention, I was its accomplice.

Damn it!
