Chapter 647 Mortal Dust (VI)

w.a.n.g Wei's twenty-eighth Life:

He opened his eyes in the same cla.s.sroom with the same Fatty Jun looking at him with concern. However, the difference was that he had a joyous smile. In his previous life, he finally created a cure for his disease in his late twenties. As such, w.a.n.g Wei decided to start fresh in this life, starting from his youth to make up for his regrets.

"Fatty, I'm fine," rea.s.sured w.a.n.g Wei.

"That's good."

"Hey, I just had an excellent idea: why don't you ask school flower Yan Liling out, and I will do the same for Wu Hong."

Fatty Jun looked at him as if he was an idiot. He raised his hand to touch his big brother's forehead. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Better than I've been."

"Then, why are you spouting this nonsense?"

"I just think we are only young once, so why not take risks? So, what's the worse that could happen? Rejection? Well, them humiliating us in public is probably the worse that can happen.

"But if that is the case, then that's only because of their poor characters. So, why would we want to be a.s.sociated with these kinds of people?"

Fatty Jun felt these words made sense. At the same time, he felt something was wrong but could not find the words to argue back.

"Do you really think I should declare my love for her?"

"Why not?"

Fatty Jun frowned for a moment. "How about I wait until I lose some weight? Maybe, my chances would be higher than." He knew many handsome and rich men in this school who l.u.s.ted after the school flowers. Although his family did indeed have money, he lost considerably in the look department.

"If she cares about your appearance, then she does not deserve you." w.a.n.g Wei lied. He knew most women had a preference for physiques when choosing a partner, and that was perfectly fine. After all, some do prefer Fatty's type, and some men also prefer bigger women. However, he needed to build the little fat man's confidence.

"Plus, if you ever wanted to lose weight, you should do it for yourself, not to please someone else."

"You know what, you're right," said Fatty Jun, his voice a little too loud and catching the attention of the other students. The two had to continue their conversation with lowered voices.

That afternoon, a piece of shocking news traveled throughout the school: two students asked the school flower Wu Hong and Yan Liling out, and they accepted. When the men discovered two of the top 5 school flowers were no longer available, they almost lost their marblesespecially when they realized they lost one to Fatty Jun.

The next four years became interesting, to say the least.

After returning home, w.a.n.g Wei once again convinced his parents of the loop. Then, he used their financial means to set up a lab and acquire a few things from the Prehistoric Continent. Finally, he concocted a cure for his genetic disease.

"Finally free," muttered w.a.n.g Wei. Without the burden of death, he decided to enjoy his life normally despite his high mental age. He wanted to experience the hormonal years of high school or the freedom of university.

And he had all these experiences he missed.

His love life blossomed with Wu Hong. He and his close brotherwho was no longer a fatty by the second yearwere now the envious couple in both high school and university: everyone wanted to be them.

The only downside to his life was his terrible talent for the Genetic Warrior Path because of his illness. Nevertheless, he did not mind since he had plenty of experience, knowledge, resources, and time; he would achieve something on this path. He became a First Level Warrior at 32 when his wife and close friends were already Third Levels.

However, w.a.n.g Wei did not care about this. His life was considered successful because of the few revolutionary papers he released, forever changing the scientific world.

Today, he was celebrating his 35th birthday, a special year for him. It was a grand celebration, but only a few people knew why the reclusive renowned scientist, Dr. w.a.n.g Wei, would throw such a lavish festivity.

w.a.n.g Wei overlooked everyone attending over a balcony with his family next to him. He raised his gla.s.s to make a speech.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Wei stood up with heavy breath, looking at the desk before him.

"Are you alright?" asked Fatty Jun.

w.a.n.g Wei looked him directly in the eyes, myriad emotions flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

"You're scaring me. Did something happen?"

"Nothing. Just had a nightmare." w.a.n.g Wei motioned him to sit down as he processed what had just occurred.

'That was the sound of a gunshot.' Now that he pondered on the situation, he remembered the vivid sensation of something penetrating his skull. Thinking back to that experience, he felt fear and panic but quickly regained his mind to concentrate: it was not time for such emotion.

'My time loop is not my disease, but my death at the age of 35 years old. Is this what I meant by Nexus of Fate.'

Many thoughts flashed in his mind as he a.n.a.lyzed the situation. Then, he slammed the desk with his hand.

"Who the f.u.c.k placed me in this time loop? I don't care who you are, I don't care whether you are a G.o.d, Devil, or even the Heavens itself. Once I'm out, I will gut you and your entire life: I will make you regret your existence."f?e??e?n?vel.???

There was nothing he hated more than being manipulated.

Suddenly, w.a.n.g Wei was embarra.s.sed as he realized he was in a cla.s.sroom. The next few hours were quite embarra.s.sing since he had to see the princ.i.p.al, and his mother had to come to pick him up from the office.

However, after calming down that night, w.a.n.g Wei learned something from this event. He mentioned the existence of the Time Loop to a large group, but there were no consequences. Of course, there was the possibility it was because no one believed him, but he decided to test the boundaries of this rule.

So, the next day, he tried to convince Fatty Jun, Wu Hong, and Yan Liling. He knew these people were trustworthy and individuals with excellent capabilities; they could be great allies in this unknown journey of saving his life.

Convincing Wu Hong was easier than expected. After telling her a few intimate details that no one should know, she easily told him she believed him. Fatty Jun was loyal to a fault and told him he would believe him if he said the world they lived in was nothing but an illusion.

The reall issue was Yan Liling. However, after more than a month of predicting future events, she had no choice but to believe. So, the next step was establis.h.i.+ng a way to come together faster in the next life.

Then, the group began to work together to save w.a.n.g Wei's life. Wu Hong was in charge of figuring out the cause of the time loop. Li Jun had to create a powerful military force to protect w.a.n.g Wei. Yan Liling was tasked with finding a way for w.a.n.g Wei to transfer knowledge of their future self to their younger self, making it easier for them to work together and be efficient.

As for w.a.n.g Wei, he worked to change his talent in this life to become a powerful Genetic Warrior. And since the other's tasks were not simple things that could easily be achieved, they would also help.

He died in this life because one of his researchers accidentally brought a dangerous plant from the Prehistoric Continent. The plant looked like an average office plant, and she used it as decoration.

Unfortunately, it released a dangerous and undetectable toxin that is deadly to all First Level below Genetic Warriors. With this death, w.a.n.g Wei knew for sure he was in a time loop around living more than 35 years and that he could die in the most ridiculous way if he were not careful.

In his 29th life, he successfully cured the problem of his genes and acquired an unG.o.dly talent for evolution. Unfortunately, he died because something went wrong with his laboratory, resulting in a powerful explosion.

Li Jun, Yan Liling, and Wu Hong could not save him in time despite their Third Level.

In his 30th life, he cured his disease and the problem with his genes. And in a short time, he and his family became Fourth Level Genetic Warriors using countless resources and even affecting their foundation.

As one of the most powerful ent.i.ties on the planet, he still died. How? The Beast Disaster. All the creatures or odd species from the Prehistoric Continent invaded his region of the world.

This event revealed to humans the horror of that place, with countless Fourth Level Creatures. w.a.n.g Wei died while protecting his mother as a creature swallowed him whole.
