Among them were two of the largest and most endearing bears.
"Who...who are they?"
He awoke from his dream, lay in bed, and murmured to himself.
The world of Happy Heroes
"Eh?"
"what happened?"
"That Bald Qiang, how come he... how did he end up in such a big city, working as... an office worker?"
"Shouldn't he stay in that beautiful forest with lots of good friends, and be a really, really great tour guide?"
Happy Superman looked completely puzzled.
"yes……"
"And you guys think he looks like..."
"It seems like he has completely forgotten all of his best friends, Xiong Da and Xiong Er."
"He actually saw them in his dream and asked, 'Who are they?'"
"What...what exactly happened?"
"Did something happen between them again, something sad that we don't know about?"
Sweetheart Superman's face was filled with worry and confusion.
"……strangeness."
“Very strange.”
"Judging from his current normal physiological signs, he does not appear to have suffered any physical brain trauma."
"Then there's only one possibility left."
"His memory was likely forcibly 'altered' or 'sealed' by some kind of higher 'external force' that we don't know about."
That's why he forgot all his past and all his friends.
"Then, like any ordinary office worker we see everywhere, I came to this unfamiliar city to begin a brand new, ordinary life."
Dr. Zhai's expression became very serious.
Not long after, Julie brought him to visit a client.
The old man led him to the basement and restored his memories.
It turns out that some time ago, while driving, he accidentally bumped into a strange old man whose behavior was very peculiar.
To express his apology, Bald Qiang treated him to a meal.
[And at the dinner table, she poured out her frustrations about life to him.]
He said that his former friends are now all big bosses in various fields.
[And yet, I myself have accomplished almost nothing.]
The strange old man told him that he could change his past.
He led Bald Qiang to the earliest timeline, a timeline filled with forks in the road.
At that time, he faced two life-changing choices.
The first option is to tear down the lumberjack job posting that was pasted on the telephone pole, advertising work for Bear Ridge.
The second option was to board the bus that was about to depart for the big city.
If he had chosen the first option, his life would still have been that of the poor but adventurous lumberjack we all know.
However, if he chooses the second option, he can come to this big city and find a decent job.
Ultimately, he chose to board the bus bound for the big city.
And ultimately, I arrived at this completely new life, the one I chose.
The world of Ling Cage
"...It was him."
"It's that strange old man who looks crazy."
"He actually changed Bald Qiang's entire life trajectory, which was full of ups and downs, so easily?"
"What a joke!"
"That's 'time'!"
"The powerful White Bear Mountain God, who was like a god before, only managed to 'rewind' time once with great difficulty at the very last moment when it was on the verge of destruction!"
"And what about this strange old man?"
"Judging from his nonchalant demeanor, is 'time travel' to him as simple as eating and drinking, a routine activity that he can do at will?"
Mark's face was filled with extreme shock. He felt that this strange old man was more dangerous and more invincible than all the king-level Devouring Beasts he had ever seen before combined.
"……yes."
"His power and that polar bear dumpling exist in a completely different, higher dimension."
"Tuanzi was 'passively' unleashed in the most desperate situation, which ultimately led to that miraculous power that was enough to turn the tide."
"And what about this old man?"
"He 'actively' treated 'time' as a humble 'toy' that he could manipulate and modify at will."
"He is even more unfathomable than that White Bear Mountain God!"
Bai Yuekui's face was also filled with a deep solemnity regarding this higher-dimensional existence.
...
The World of "Mr. Amazing China"
"Fuck me..."
"This old man looks like an ordinary, strange old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease..."
"He is absolutely not an ordinary person!"
"Who...who exactly is he?"
"Which reclusive old immortal has lived in this world for thousands of years, playing among the mortals and no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs?"
"Or is it some ancient monster whose cultivation level is so high that we can't even imagine it, that secretly escaped from some dark corner we don't know about?"
Wang Xiaoer's face was filled with the unique expression of awe and fear that comes from a cultivator facing a more powerful being whom he could not see through.
"...whether it's a god or a demon."
"The incredible ability he demonstrated to 'change' other people's 'past' at will."
"It has far surpassed the golden divine deer that could 'create the world' and the white giant bear that could 'rewind time' that we have seen before."
"Although Tuanzi and the divine deer are incredibly powerful, their strength lies more in 'protection' and 'creation'."
"And what about this strange old man?"
"What he possesses is a far more terrifying power, almost at the level of 'causality,' capable of completely erasing a person's 'existence' itself from its very root!"
"He is far more terrifying than any of the so-called 'gods' we've ever seen before!"
Li Xue's face was also filled with a deep fear of this unknown, unsolvable, and absolute power.
...
The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department
"...'Change the past'?"
"'Traveling through time'?"
"In our..."
"In our modern world, which I always thought was ordinary and unremarkable."
"There's actually a hidden master, a true, unparalleled expert with godlike power?"
"And we..."
"We know absolutely nothing about him?"
The young superintendent looked at the sky, his face always radiating confidence and control.
He revealed an extremely complex expression filled with utter shock and a hint of... deep frustration at failing to grasp all the secrets of his own world, as the highest authority in this world.
"Yes, Director..."
"Previously, all our attention was focused on the enigmatic Boss Li and the equally enigmatic Bald Qiang."
"We never expected this at all."
"In this story full of miracles, the one truly hidden deepest is surprisingly this seemingly unremarkable, eccentric old man." 39, 8351. 697
The other officer's face was also filled with lingering fear.
[End of flashback.]
Finally, Bald Qiang remembered who Xiong Da and Xiong Er really were.
Then, on the huge fluorescent screen above him, a video began to play.
[After he was gone, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and their friends were facing immense danger.]
"Big Bear. Little Bear."
Bald Qiang's expression changed drastically. Then, he stared intently at the strange old man beside him and demanded, "What exactly is going on?"
"Heh, buddy, wasn't this your own choice? You made the choice, you chose to leave them, to go to this big city, to live your own good life, and the consequence of doing so is... your good friends from that old timeline."
"Because of your departure, they will all die, one after another."
"That strange old man shouted loudly."
The world of Fruit Warriors
"...Die...die?"
"That strange-looking old man was saying..."
"Big Bear, Little Bear, and all of Mr. Bald Qiang's adorable animal friends..."
"Will they all die one after another because of Mr. Bald Qiang's departure?"
"No."
"how so."
Lu Xiaoguo's face was filled with extreme panic and disbelief. He felt as if he had heard the cruelest and saddest thing in the world.
"hateful."
"This...this is just too unfair."
"That Bald Qiang simply chose the easier and more comfortable life that he himself wanted deep down."
Why should he pay such a heavy, unbearable price—losing all his best friends?
"And that strange old man who looks crazy."
"Since he possesses such powerful, godlike abilities that allow him to change the past at will."
"Why don't you step in and save everyone?"
"On the contrary, they're gloating and making sarcastic remarks from the sidelines like this?"
"He's not a god at all."
"He is a more despicable, real demon than any villain we have ever encountered before."
Cheng Liuxiang's face was filled with the utmost anger as a hero towards this kind of absolute malice that wantonly played with the fate of others.
"……I see."
"This is the real 'multiple-choice question' that strange old man presented to that poor Bald Qiang from the very beginning."
