"A time machine?
Traveling through time?!"
The moment those words were spoken, every adeptus in the shop was completely stunned.
Something this miraculous actually existed?
Something that could so casually traverse time itself?
"Yes. Whether it's the past or the future, as long as you set the destination properly, you can go there,"
Han Feng explained calmly with a faint smile.
"Hiss—!"
Cloud Retainer sucked in a sharp breath, her cute little face filled with shock.
As expected of Boss Han!
Absolutely outrageous!
The other adepti felt the same way.
If they truly had a time machine, then they could travel back to the moment of the Rite of Descension.
Perhaps they could directly save the Geo Archon then.
That was indeed another viable method!
As for the If Phone Booth, making a phone call and all that—
They didn't quite understand it.
But since Boss Han spoke of it so casually, it was surely an equally terrifying item.
This manga was a must-read!
"Boss Han, are there any other manga?"
Xiao continued asking.
Preferably five.
That way, each of them could read one, and the chances of saving the Geo Archon would increase significantly.
"Journey to the West,"
Han Feng replied with a smile.
"That manga contains countless immortals and powerful beings. There might be something inside that can revive the Geo Archon."
Then he glanced at Xiao and added,
"If your luck is good, you might even obtain a reward that can ease your karmic debt."
"R-Really… can it ease my karmic debt?"
At the mention of something so personal, Xiao's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
He had suspected it before, but hearing confirmation directly from Boss Han still felt unreal.
"Yes. If your luck is good, then naturally, it's possible,"
Han Feng nodded with a smile.
Journey to the West was a world of gods and immortals.
Countless miraculous cultivation methods existed there.
Naturally, techniques to ease karmic burdens would not be lacking.
"That's wonderful news for Xiao."
Madam Ping smiled gently when she saw Xiao's reaction.
As an old friend, she knew his suffering well.
In order to cleanse the corruption born from the remnants of slain gods, he had no choice but to shoulder their karmic burden.
Thus, bound by karma, he endured endless pain and terror— the torment of a wandering evil spirit, unextinguishable for tens of thousands of years.
Many adepti had worried about him and tried to help, but none had succeeded.
Now, to finally see hope here— it was truly his destiny.
The other three adepti nodded silently as well, happy for their friend.
As for how Boss Han knew about Xiao's karmic burden—
They weren't surprised at all.
Someone capable of granting such terrifying rewards knowing their circumstances felt perfectly natural.
"Besides those two, The Avengers, Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious, and the B-Robo Kabutack I mentioned earlier—all of them have a chance,"
Han Feng continued, listing more titles.
"Just go read them."
These manga all contained extraordinary powers—
Infinity Stones, Peace Stars, and the like.
Even Cautious Hero had mentioned resurrection before.
If their luck was good, they might truly draw such rewards.
"There are really five of them…"
Hearing Boss Han casually list five such manga, the adepti had already gone numb.
Things ordinary people would treasure as priceless artifacts were treated like cheap cabbages here.
"Being able to come here is the greatest fortune of my entire life,"
Cloud Retainer sighed emotionally.
Then she looked at the equally awestruck group and said,
"In that case, let's divide them up.
Finish the manga as quickly as possible and see if we can obtain good rewards."
The adepti nodded in agreement.
Soon after, each of them placed a bag of Mora on the counter and went to select their manga.
Xiao chose Journey to the West— no one contested him.
Cloud Retainer picked B-Robo Kabutack.
As for Madam Ping and the other two, they took the remaining three manga Boss Han had mentioned.
After the adepti entered the silent reading area, Noelle looked toward Han Feng with curiosity.
"Boss… has the Geo Archon truly passed away?"
In the earlier projection, she had only seen Ningguang and the others fighting the god— there had been no mention of the Geo Archon.
So she had only just learned of it now.
"Mm. You could say he has,"
Han Feng replied, sipping his tea.
After all, they had already held a funeral for him.
The Geo Archon would no longer appear.
Only Zhongli, consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, would remain.
Still, Han Feng couldn't help feeling curious—
If Cloud Retainer and the others really managed to draw a resurrection reward…
What kind of situation would that create?
...
For some reason, Han Feng found himself looking forward to it.
"You could say…?"
Noelle tilted her head, confusion written all over her face.
What kind of wording was that?
So had the Geo Archon passed away… or not?
Just as she was about to ask further, new customers entered the shop.
"Never mind—better go attend to the guests first!"
Remembering her duties, Noelle quickly stood up and went to greet them.
Han Feng then glanced at the system interface.

"Just finished watching an amazing battle, and now I get to draw a new manga,"
Han Feng smiled.
"Life's pretty good."
Looks like he'd have to reward Cloud Retainer later.
After all, she'd brought in a whole batch of customers.
But for now—
"System, draw a manga!"
Han Feng gave the command.
