Chapter 61 "Archived Files": Signing a Contract with the Future Angel God

Just as Jiang Ci'an had predicted, just like when he acquired "No Concern" and "Time Control" before, every time he obtained a new soul ring, his abilities in the virtual world would experience a qualitative leap.

However, he never expected that this time, the enhancement of "Time Control" in the virtual world was not simply to increase the upper limit of time acceleration and rewind, but to directly open up a complete and operable "timeline" for him!

Simply put, now that he has left the virtual world, the virtual world will not automatically reset.

Instead, it's now called "archiving".

The moment he leaves will be automatically recorded by "Time Control" and become a save point.

The next time he enters the virtual world, he can choose to continue along the "timeline" he left last time and enter that save point.

Everything will continue as it was when he left, as if he had never left at all.

This is equivalent to "loading a save file".

Of course, he can also choose not to enter the previous "timeline" but instead start a completely new timeline, similar to the "start a new game" option when playing a game.

Once he exits the timeline and resets it, the functionality will be exactly the same as the virtual world he used before.

The world operates according to a predetermined trajectory, and no one knows him; everything starts from scratch.

Furthermore, the newly created timeline will not overwrite the existing timeline.

The two coexist, are independent of each other, and do not interfere with each other.

It's like two different game save files.

Jiang Ci'an stood quietly in the void for a while, sensing the boundaries and limitations of his new ability. After a moment, he came to a conclusion.

He can currently save up to three archives, which means he can maintain three parallel and independent timelines at the same time.

Three timelines.

He let out a soft breath, his tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

This suddenly made things much more feasible.

Even long-term plans that were previously unable to be executed in the virtual world due to the "exit and reset" rule can now be picked up again.

For example, he could use one timeline as a testing ground, advance a project requiring continuous observation in another timeline, and then execute a long-term plan in a third timeline...

Jiang Ci'an's eyes flickered slightly.

A new idea popped into his mind.

He looked at the shimmering "timeline" in front of him, which was his only save file at the moment he left after spending time with Miss Angel.

Without hesitation, he reached out and gently grasped the thread.

Suddenly, the feeling of falling, which had just stopped, returned.

……

Virtual world.

The First Prince's Residence in Tiandou City.

The morning sunlight slanted in through the French windows, casting bright patches of light on the dark brown floor.

On the sofa, a golden figure lay quietly.

The golden silk nightgown shimmered softly in the afternoon sunlight. The hem of the skirt had ridden up slightly due to her sleeping position, revealing a section of her fair calves and slender ankles.

Her alluring curves rose and fell gently with her breath, and one of the shoulder straps slipped down, hanging on her arm, revealing her rounded shoulders and a large expanse of fair skin below her collarbone.

The girl was sleeping soundly.

He temporarily set aside the constant vigilance and tension required of an undercover agent, and no longer needed to maintain the impeccably gentle smile he wore as Xue Qinghe.

She's really too relaxed right now.

Suddenly, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The sunlight was a little too bright, gradually pulling her consciousness from her sleep.

Listening to the birds chirping outside the window, feeling the silky smoothness of her nightgown against her skin, and the softness of the pillow in her arms, she slowly sat up.

Her blue eyes opened slightly, still a little hazy. She rubbed her eyes and then stretched out a big yawn.

With arms outstretched upwards, her beautiful figure was outlined in a graceful curve under the sunlight. The fabric of her silk pajamas became semi-transparent as it stretched, revealing her slender waist.

As if she had completely recovered, the girl let out a long sigh of relief, and then her hand fell naturally, but she unconsciously hit her own chest.

She froze on the spot.

She blinked, looked down at her hands and chest, then touched her face, and suddenly became fully awake.

She is still herself, still Qian Renxue.

Can...

"Why haven't we gotten back on track?"

Her memory stopped yesterday afternoon, when that guy came to see her again.

This time, the guy didn't do anything too outrageous to her. He just sat on the carpet in her study and repeatedly blasted her angelic torso bones dozens of times right in front of her.

Every time she finished blasting something, she would rewind the timer, then blast it again. She couldn't stand watching anymore, so she simply curled up on the sofa and went to sleep.

Logically, after she woke up, everything should have returned to normal, and she should have forgotten everything, put on the disguise that belonged to Xue Qinghe again, and continued her undercover work.

But she still remembers.

I remember every single detail clearly.

From the first time this guy ripped off my disguise, to each time I was shrunk and had my soul bone taken, to gradually getting used to his presence and even starting to enjoy the vacation he gave me when he came...

Every memory was perfectly preserved in her mind, without any missing parts.

Qian Renxue's heartbeat quickened slightly, but she suddenly sensed something and quickly turned her head.

At the doorway, a figure pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

It was Jiang Ci'an.

"You didn't leave?"

Qian Renxue made the judgment subconsciously.

In her view, this was the most reasonable explanation.

This guy didn't leave this time, so things didn't go back to normal, and her memories weren't reset.

However, Jiang Ci'an shook his head.

"My abilities have undergone a slight change." Jiang Ci'an smiled at Miss Angel. "Now, you can remember me without me helping you preserve your memories."

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth, then closed it again, a complex emotion flashing in her blue eyes.

"So, everything can't go back to normal like before?"

Jiang Ci'an nodded.

Qian Renxue's breath hitched slightly. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her expression not changing much, but a sense of disappointment still rose in her heart.

Does she no longer have any free time to rest?

She thought she could enjoy herself for a while longer, even if each break was short, because at least that time would be entirely her own.

Now even that thought is gone.

Qian Renxue unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt above her knees.

However, the next moment...

A parchment scroll suddenly unfolded in front of her.

The paper is antique, filled with neatly formatted small characters, and the edges are embroidered with exquisite gold patterns. The intricate and mysterious designs make it look quite extraordinary.

Qian Renxue blinked, temporarily pulling her thoughts back from her earlier disappointment.

She stared at the scroll that had appeared out of nowhere, her blue eyes filled with confusion.

"What is this?"

"contract."

"contract?"

Jiang Ci'an smiled.

He looked at the angelic lady before him, her image reflected in his golden eyes, and then whispered:

"This is a contract that can make you an angel god."
