Lin Yi talked until her throat was dry, and Gu Fang handed her a cup of warm water at the right moment. She took it and gulped down several mouthfuls before catching her breath, then immediately turned to Ying Baichuan: "Brother Chuan, could you ask your Ah Tong what exactly is going on?"
Ying Baichuan nodded, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if communicating with the system in his mind. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Ah Tong says that this world did indeed collapse completely when the original protagonist Ying Baichuan died. It tried to save itself but failed. That's what Nianqing meant by a failed restart—it was the world's failed self-rescue."
Huang Xining frowned, keenly catching the key point: "If it had already collapsed completely, how did we get here?"
Ying Baichuan paused, as if organizing the information conveyed by the system, and said slowly, "Because before this small world collapsed, it was extremely active. It not only signed an extradition contract with your Earth, but also connected with other novel worlds and knew about our main system's existence. When it was about to collapse, besides contacting the main system for help, it also latched onto other novel worlds."
"Latched onto other novel worlds?" everyone asked in unison.
