Chapter 1278: Chapter 730: Finally Found the Root of the Problem

Realizing there might be attack effects he couldn’t detect, Su Yu hurriedly checked his Book of Narrative again, focusing on his own story.

There still didn’t seem to be any issues; all the stories appeared normal, with no sudden emergence of text or paragraphs.

Su Yu was most worried about the unknown attack modifying his past story.

Such a modification is not on a timeline level.

Simply changing the timeline means nothing to Su Yu now.

For instance, modifying the past timeline to make Su Yu die just as he crossed over to Azure Star; in that case, it seems like Su Yu is doomed, never existing from the start.

But this is merely “non-existence” on a timeline level.

On the Book of Narrative, the essence of this modification is adding a new chapter to the end of the existing story.

The content being “the timeline was modified, Su Yu died at the beginning of his crossing.”

Essentially, such modifications have no impact on the stories that have already occurred.

The past stories still exist and are recorded in the Book of Narrative.

Therefore, timeline attacks are meaningless to Su Yu; he can erase such modifications at any time using the Book of Narrative.

Possessing the Power of Narrative, Su Yu has long transcended the constraints of time and space, making time attacks terrifying to ordinary Transcendents just a joke to him.

His real concern is the modification attacks on the narrative level.

If within the Book of Narrative, his previous stories are altered to “the timeline was modified, Su Yu died at the beginning of his crossing.”

This is fundamentally different in concept and strength from timeline modification.

If modified this way, Su Yu would genuinely cease to exist from the start, dying immediately.

Even if it’s not so extreme as directly writing Su Yu out, casually changing some details would be enough to affect him.

Thus, Su Yu places great importance on repeatedly inspecting the content of the Book of Narrative, worried it might be modified.

After all, those Spirit Beast Clan members created such a huge spectacle; who will believe it had no effect?

However, Su Yu instantly scrutinized and analyzed the story about himself in the Book of Narrative billions of times without finding a place that had been modified.

Yet Su Yu was not completely assured, fearing this modification was invisible and undetectable.

Theoretically, if Su Yu’s previous story were altered, his past experiences, related memories, and the records in the Book of Narrative would all change as a result, and he wouldn’t recall what it was like before the change; only knowing everything after the change.

In this way, Su Yu naturally can’t find the alteration, much less what exactly was changed.

This is most terrifying: being altered without knowing what’s been changed.

Su Yu himself never dared to modify his own past story, worried about unpredictable consequences, so he naturally fears enemies might alter it.

Thinking of this, Su Yu stared at the Spirit Beast Clan’s formed Book of Narrative before him, his eyes flashing coldly, about to unleash Narrative Attack to directly erase the race, or even more extremely, erase the entire universe.

Su Yu now could completely do such a thing.

Though the Spirit Beast Clan is mysterious, capable of forming a grand Book of Narrative with billions of River Systems, very powerful, its flaws are also glaring.

The book’s body is plainly set in front of Su Yu, entirely ready for destruction.

Theoretically, even a “ordinary” Transcendent without any Power of Narrative, as long as strong enough, could destroy this Book of Narrative.

Let alone Su Yu?

Su Yu is not the type to be attacked without retaliation.

Despite that directly erasing the Spirit Beast Clan might lead to logical collapse, Su Yu couldn’t care less right now; the unknown attack might be eroding him, he must fight to survive.

But Su Yu forcibly suppressed this impulse, not acting immediately.

Attacking rashly without understanding the situation might worsen things.

This Book of Narrative formed by the Spirit Beast Clan is so evidently laid before him, there must be a catch.

Recklessly destroying it, who knows what new changes might occur?

Su Yu’s battle experience is extremely rich, understanding the more critical the situation, the less rash one should be.

Even if fighting to the death, it must be based on understanding the situation, otherwise it’s not fighting to the death, but rushing to it.

“Can’t panic, the opponent may not have modified my story.”

“My Book of Narrative is unlocked through a panel, of extremely high essence, plus I myself have the ‘Audience Reader’ trait, directly rewriting my story would be immensely difficult.”

“Even if rewritten, I shouldn’t be completely unaware, senseless, this is abnormal.”

“So most likely, the opponent hasn’t directly rewritten my story…”

Su Yu, calmly analyzing the situation in his mind, quickly judged that the opponent very likely hasn’t directly modified his past story.

If the opponent could freely rewrite Su Yu’s story, he would’ve done it long ago, why wait till now?

Thinking of this, Su Yu felt more assured.

At the same time, inspiration struck him, thinking of more: “So, at most, the opponent indirectly influences me through other methods!”

“Could it be that the opponent hasn’t modified my story, but altered the stories of those I’m familiar with?”

Su Yu pondered secretly.

Then hurriedly began inspecting the stories of those familiar faces in his memory.

Yang Lie, Tie Long, Xie Yitian, Ghost Emperor, Brutal Evil God… and so on.

These early acquaintances of Su Yu are deeply intertwined with his path to prominence.

If these people’s stories are altered, Su Yu’s past story would naturally change as well.

The existence behind the scenes likely aims to indirectly influence Su Yu by modifying these people’s stories.

Su Yu had actually already inspected these people’s stories when checking his own and found no issues.

Now just rechecking again, as expected, nothing unusual was found.

These people’s stories still look normal.

“There’s no reason…”

Su Yu puzzled, then considered another possibility.

He began inspecting the stories of those “acquaintances’ acquaintances.”

Yang Lie, Tie Long, and others, Su Yu was familiar with them, but they too had their own acquaintances.

Regarding those, Su Yu might not be familiar, having basically no interaction.

Yet those people’s stories could indirectly impact Yang Lie and Tie Long, thereby indirectly influencing Su Yu.

Upon finding this line of thought, Su Yu inspected again, still finding nothing.

Those “acquaintances’ acquaintances” remain quite normal.

Su Yu, however, had already decided to continue inspecting those “acquaintances’ acquaintances’ acquaintances,” thoroughly investigating the stories within all their relationship networks.

Such an inspection amounts to quite a scale.

Fortunately, Su Yu’s computational ability is immense, swiftly examining them all.

“Finally found it… so it was like this…”

Su Yu sees those “acquaintances’ acquaintances’ acquaintances” stories, already permeating with illogical gibberish, much like the Spirit Beast Clan before him…
