As the river of time flowed backward, the scene inside the room rapidly rewound to the situation before the Overseers arrived.
At that time, Ye Miaomiao's family was, as usual, happily preparing dinner. Everything was incredibly peaceful, and no one could have foreseen the impending disaster.
But suddenly, Ye Miaomiao's parents, who were still preparing dinner, seemed to sense something. Their expressions changed drastically, and they dropped what they were doing, frantically stuffing Ye Miaomiao into a cabinet.
"How strange..."
Seeing the actions of Ye Miaomiao's parents, a deep confusion flashed in Nuo Ying's eyes. "How did they know the Overseers were coming?"
Ye Miaomiao's parents were just ordinary people. Let alone Overseers who transcended the Tianyi Universe, even if a slightly elite Black Tower agent from this world infiltrated them, Ye Miaomiao's parents would not have been able to detect their presence.
Yet now, Ye Miaomiao's parents had accurately predicted the arrival of the Overseers and had made corresponding countermeasures.
Although what Ye Miaomiao's parents did was meaningless, their ability to foresee the arrival of the Overseers was something even Nuo Ying admitted she couldn't do!
Ye Ling also noticed this strange point, his brow furrowed. He rewound time back to the moment the Overseers arrived and carefully observed the footage again.
No matter how many times Ye Ling and Nuo Ying rewatched that segment, the sudden reaction of Ye Miaomiao's parents hiding Ye Miaomiao was completely without any warning to them!
Ye Miaomiao's parents seemed to have been replaced by someone else entirely!
Nuo Ying's confusion grew stronger and stronger, her brow furrowed tighter. She couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, can you see what they were thinking at that moment? I really can't understand their behavioral logic."
Ye Ling shook his head, "Unfortunately, I can't... This space-time was influenced by the Overseers' power. Although I can reproduce the past images, I can't go back to that point in time and change the past."
"The scenes we see now are virtual images. No matter how powerful I am, I can't glimpse the souls of the people in the images from a virtual image."
"This is troublesome..." Nuo Ying sighed slightly. "If we don't know how Ye Miaomiao's parents discovered the Overseers, then our time reversal has little meaning, and the mysteries will still exist."
"I didn't expect that after prying into everything that happened in the past, the mystery would only deepen," Nuo Ying said with a troubled expression.
"Actually, it's not as troublesome as you think. I have a way to solve this situation," Ye Ling said with a light smile, seemingly having a solution.
"You can solve it?" Nuo Ying looked at Ye Ling in surprise, thinking she had misheard.
Didn't Ye Ling just say he couldn't glimpse the memories of people in past images?
With these inexplicable scenes, what effective clues could be found?
Ye Ling smiled, "Although I can't glimpse their thoughts at that time, this river of time replays everything that happened."
"This is not just about the macroscopic playback of people and objects; even down to the molecular and atomic level, and the flow of spiritual energy in space, I can replay it."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Nuo Ying seemed to understand but not fully. She guessed, "In other words... we can observe from a microscopic level?"
"That's right, your little head is quite smart! Let me show you first."
Ye Ling praised Nuo Ying and then activated the river of time, visualizing everything that happened at the microscopic level, including all the spiritual energy flows in space.
"Seeing what happened in the past from another angle might lead to new discoveries."
As Ye Ling spoke, in their line of sight, everything in the room turned into an aggregate of dots and lines.
And shortly after Ye Ling changed the playback, they could see that in Ye Miaomiao's soul, some special particles without any energy suddenly separated and quietly merged into Ye Miaomiao's parents' souls.
"Ye Ling! Look at those particles quickly!"
Nuo Ying exclaimed, seeing the scene unfolding before them!
"I see it!" Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems those wondrous particles informed Ye Miaomiao's parents of the approaching danger!"
"These special particles are not driven by any energy and cannot be captured by soul power or the naked eye... No wonder we didn't capture them before!"
Ye Ling said in a deep voice and continued to let the images play.
After those special particles influenced Ye Miaomiao's parents, they quickly dispersed outside the house. Then the Overseers descended into the house and killed Ye Miaomiao's parents!
Seeing this, Ye Ling immediately expanded the influence of the river of time, rewinding the time of the entire military base back to the original Baiyun Town.
The soldiers still fighting in the military base, including Ye Miaomiao in the air, had their time frozen.
Ye Ling and Nuo Ying went outside the house and saw the special particles that came from Ye Miaomiao's soul continuously gathering strength. Then those forces suddenly erupted, emitting a huge sound, and the dark sky lit up as if it were daytime!
"These special particles are indeed the Primordial Soul Kings mentioned by the Overseers!" Ye Ling saw those special particles release powerful energy, confirming his guess.
The next moment, the Overseers who killed Ye Miaomiao's parents flew out. Those special particles quickly fled into the distance, followed closely by the Overseers, moving away from Baiyun Town.
What happened in Baiyun Town afterward was exactly the same as in Ye Miaomiao's memory.
"It seems the Primordial Soul King had already left Ye Miaomiao at that time. I wonder what the final outcome was between the Overseers and that Primordial Soul King?"
Although Ye Ling could freeze the time of the entire world, the battle between the Primordial Soul King and the Overseers clearly did not take place in this world. Ye Ling's time reversal of the entire world was meaningless.
"Ye, Ye Ling..." At this moment, Nuo Ying suddenly spoke, interrupting Ye Ling's thoughts.
"What is it?" Ye Ling looked at Nuo Ying and asked.
Nuo Ying was staring blankly at the sky, murmuring, "Ye Ling, do you think those special particles in the sky are from your time reversal, or were they always there?"
"Ah?"
Ye Ling was stunned. Following Nuo Ying's gaze, he saw that around Ye Miaomiao, who was frozen in mid-air, a large number of special particles were swirling!
"That's!!!"
Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply. The special particles suddenly transformed into a giant claw and fiercely swiped towards Ye Ling and Nuo Ying!
