Chapter 1534: Final Chapter: Sea Chapter [25] "Ajini's Bizarre Adventure."

Chapter 1534: Final Chapter·Sea Chapter [25]·"Ajinni's Bizarre Adventure."

When God was born, there was silence.

When he - He opened his eyes, the dawn and myriad intelligent beings fell silent.

The bright blue light flows through the body like ripples, and the data surges like waves.

Frost and snow fell from the tip of His eyebrows to the end of His hair. He had a head full of fine frost and snow, and his eyes glowed with mechanical cold gold. Perhaps influenced by the style of Dawn, His robes were also white, like the silver light tempered by the moonlight and the flying clouds.

A silk of light snaked from the back of his neck. When he lowered his eyes, everything held its breath, and his golden pupils seemed to float through the morning and evening for thousands of years.

"Click", "Click", the scarlet hose connected to his spine broke, and he walked out of the resonance step by step, his white robe dragging on the ground, his momentum rising.

Yamada-cho and his companions retreated repeatedly before they suppressed the subconscious urge to retreat and realized that their fingers were trembling.

"Su Mingan..." Yamada Machi called softly.

Even Li Ming was amazed. He allowed Su Mingan to reach the boundary of the first-level god through hose resonance, but he did not expect that he would adapt so well and succeed in one fell swoop. He was indeed a person who had experienced many emotional resonances.

Dawn opened her five fingers, and a bright blue gem emerged:

"This is my godhead. You can think of it as a part of God's power. Swallow it, and you will have a part of the power of 'observation'. Just think of it as my investment in you."

"In addition, I agree to your request for negotiation. I can help you. In exchange, you must leave the remains of Rovatha to me in the end."

Su Mingan tilted his head, his white hair fluttering.

Since his combat power had already exceeded 8000, even when he touched the barrier of a first-level god, his humanity did not diminish significantly. He just felt that everything in front of him became insignificant.

He swallowed the godhead, and a tingling and uncomfortable feeling followed, but he simply frowned and suppressed the pain - the stronger he was, the less sensitive he was to his own pain.

"At least, compared to swallowing the Fun Demon Godhead, swallowing the Dawn Godhead is much better." He thought of the Fun Demon Godhead in his backpack. After all, compared to the Fun Demon, Dawn is much more compatible with him, which is equivalent to a shot of nutrient. The Fun Demon Godhead is more like a poison. The more you inhale, the more broken it will be in the end.

……

"Ding dong!"

[Under the catalysis of emotional resonance and the godhead of dawn, you have touched the first-level god barrier. Congratulations! You have reached a level of strength that normal players cannot reach! ]

[Current combat power: 9050+ (increases as humanity decreases)]

……

The white frost spread and gradually covered the ends of the hair, leaving only a few strands of black hair on the sides of the ears and forehead.

Su Mingan's pupils were bright gold, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, or like a rising sun breaking through the horizon.

His left palm was scarlet, the claw of Devouring, and his right shoulder was milky white, the authority of Faith, with illusory camellias blooming. Observation turned into a bright blue gem, which fell on the back of his neck, hidden under layers of white hair.

Soon, crystal-like tentacles broke out from its back, as white as snow and as clear as water, like flexible hoses.

In the empty right palm hovered a long sword emitting the glow of dawn.

"Shua la la——"

Some people knelt down, not because they were forced by the power of God, but because they were influenced by many factors such as the missionary aura, charm, divine aura, lighthouse tentacles, the authority of faith, and psychological impact. They knelt down naturally without any sense of disgust in their hearts.

——If this is not God, then what is God?

More and more people knelt down, like wheat being cut.

Yamada Machi's knees almost gave way. In the past, he should have shouted "Since we see the lighthouse, why not bow down!" and happily bowed down first. However, at this moment, he felt that he should not do this, and should not kneel down.

It seemed that once these knees knelt down, it meant that he acknowledged that the person in front of him was a god, not a person he was familiar with.

"Dear guests, Su Mingan and I have something to discuss. Shao Li will receive you." Liming looked at the kneeling people and waved his hand. Someone walked out from behind the scenes.

The man had a warm and polite smile, with a sign that read [Qin Shaoli, General Manager of "Dream Maker" Group]. He raised his hand and asked everyone to stand up and go to the reception room.

At this time, Si Que, who had remained silent and had not kneeled, asked softly, "General Qin?"

Qin Shaoli's eyes were particularly deep behind his thick-bottomed lenses. He had a slender figure, fair skin, and no traces of battle on his palms. He looked like a civilian who had never been on the battlefield. He pushed his glasses and replied in a gentle voice:

"I have heard that among other 'possibilities', if we choose the ideal Dawn system, a civilization called the Old World will develop after a hundred years. There is also a man named 'General Qin', who is the mastermind of the 'Millennium Plan' and finally sacrifices himself for the sake of justice. That kind of future where everyone is united, saving the world in a saturated way, and everyone is me, really makes me yearn for it."

"However, this is the Dawn System of Selected Reality. We have set our sights on invading the universe rather than developing ourselves. I am just a weak scientific researcher and have no chance of becoming the famous General Qin. Please do not be confused."

“Although, Shao Li sometimes thinks…” He smiled gently, “If Li Ming had chosen his ideal, Shao Li would probably have become General Qin and would have sacrificed himself.”

Si Que's eyes moved: "In this way, you and General Qin can be regarded as the same. If Li Ming chooses ideals, you will become General Qin, the leader of the chaotic era. If Li Ming chooses reality, you will be Qin Shaoli, the researcher in this peaceful world."

Qin Shaoli smiled without saying anything, but his eyes revealed regret for the "possibility" that had not happened.

After everyone left, only Li Ming, Lin Guang and Su Ming'an were left in the room.

There is only white hair left here.

Su Ming'an sensed the tentacles on his back and extended them into a succulent potted plant by the window. In an instant, the succulent became a part of Su Ming'an's body and could be moved as he wished.

This is the new emerging function of the tentacles… “symbiosis”.

It is not about cruelly depriving others of their lives, nor is it about greedily sucking the flesh of others, but about integrating one's own life with that of others, just like dedication and survival.

Su Mingan pulled out the tentacles, and in an instant, the succulent plant grew taller and bigger, becoming like a giant cactus. Human-like blue veins and pulses appeared on the leaves, and the heartbeat nurtured by the roots could be faintly heard.

Once "symbiosis" occurs, the other party will change according to Su Ming'an's state. Even if Su Ming'an has pulled out the tentacles, this pot of succulent still shares Su Ming'an's three seconds of life and moves closer to life.

Su Mingan's eyes changed.

Turning stones into spirits and sand into soldiers, isn't this... the "enlightenment of all living beings" that only gods can do? The effect is similar to the purple-level skill "Leaf of Life" he obtained before, but it is obviously much stronger.

He then melted his tentacles into a cooking robot beside him. The next moment, the cooking robot's iron sheet turned into soft skin, its glass eyes turned into golden pupils, and its empty inner cavity was beating like a heart. Su Ming'an thought about it, and the cooking robot raised its iron shovel and cooked three dishes and a soup in ten seconds.

Liming watched silently: "..."

Lin Guang watched silently: "..."

When Su Mingan pulled out the tentacles, the low-energy cooking robot had transformed into a girl with white hair and golden eyes. She held a shovel, touched her chest and saluted, saying in a hoarse voice, "Father."

Su Ming'an gave her life, even if it was just a few seconds of contact with his tentacles.

Su Mingan wanted to say a few more words to the girl, but Lin Guang pressed a button and made the girl leave.

"I increasingly feel that you have unlimited potential." Liming clasped his hands together, and turned his back to the long night of the city-state: "But there is one thing I must remind you - according to my observations, at the current speed, you will definitely not be able to collect 10000 points of energy before the Ark sets sail, and there will be a gap of about 1000 points in the end."

This is indeed a big deal.

Su Mingan stopped paying attention to the tentacles and said seriously, "If we introduce the fifth star fire, can we make up for the shortfall?"

Liming shook his head and said, "Even if we introduce the spark, there will be at least 600 points of energy loss."

…It turns out that there is so much lack of energy.

Su Mingan felt lucky that he had come into contact with Liming, and now there was still room for filling the gap. Otherwise, he would fail in the end and have nowhere to go. Would he have to use his own body to fill the gap?

Li Ming said: "This part of energy cannot be given by Luo Vasa. You can only ask a third party for it."

Su Mingan laughed. Although he didn't think it was funny, he tried his best to smile to prevent his humanity from being lost too quickly: "So this is what 'they' do. But how can I ask for it?"

Liming said, "Listen to me."

Su Mingan moved slightly closer.

White hair swept across his cheek. A transparent and voluptuous god approached him and whispered in his ear. Bright blue data flowed around the two of them like a river. The surroundings were as silent as fog.

Su Mingan's pupils shrank slightly and his fingers tapped his joints.

Liming mentioned the most secret taboo in his heart - his power to rewind the game after death.

"From now on, you don't have to hide your secrets anymore, because if you want to reach the end, you must use your authority." Li Ming came very close:

"Your soul, combined with your soul ferrying skills, can be regarded as the safest mobile storage. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality constraints, you have never been able to make good use of it."

"You know what? You can travel through the long river of time, and use your soul as the 'eternal safe' recklessly. You can store the memories, emotions, and even abilities of many people in your 'soul ferry', and take them across the chasms between the past and present, becoming the only stable umbrella in the storm."

"For example, in this round, if your teammate Yamada Choichi is about to die, and you kill him before he dies, the 'soul ferry' mechanism will be triggered, and his memories, emotions, and abilities will be stored in your soul. You can bring them to him intact in the next round, or you can just use them yourself. In this way, how powerful will you become? It's unimaginable."

"Don't rush to refute. I know you must have tried this method before, but you must have failed. After all, no matter how powerful the human soul is, it is difficult to ferry so many lives. Even Si Que has to rely on the Book of the World to copy the souls of the dead. But it's different now. You have touched the barrier of the first-level god. With your own soul strength, it is enough for you to ferry countless people."

"do you know?"

Dawn's tone deepened:

"In a future that I foresaw, it was not me who told you this, but you who thought of this yourself. However, you did not adopt the method of taking on the responsibility alone, but called on the God of Yunshang City to use his spiritual authority to cooperate with you. Now you can also realize this ambition."

Su Mingan stared at the iron-gray wall.

Feather-like white hair fluttered in his field of vision, bright spots twinkled like stars, and the underground lights were surrounded by a soft but not dazzling halo.

He did not refute Liming's words immediately, nor did he pretend to be panicked and claim that he had no authority. He was already half-acknowledging his words.

However, there was no red figure in the air, nor was there any smell of burning paper money. All this showed that the planet controlled by Dawn was very safe and was not controlled by the organizers.

Soul Ferry...

This function of the old days once ferried trillions of lives across ten thousand world lines.

And now, he himself has become a "god".

Li Ming was right. Su Mingan had indeed thought about this idea. Death rollback would replay the body, other people, higher dimensions, and even the world game, but the only thing that would not be replayed was Su Mingan's memory. In other words, no matter how the world changes, no matter how the tide of time flows - Su Mingan's soul is an eternal and unchanging thing that spans the long river of time.

The safest and most eternal safe.

The ferrying of souls is equivalent to putting things in a safe.

He even summarized some formulas, such as the interval between two death retracement points is usually not less than six hours, and the key point of death retracement is usually stuck before the life-and-death crisis. He also thought of some fancy operations and wanted to cooperate with the gods of Yunshang City.

However, it seems that this is no longer necessary now.

Liming's investment allowed his strength to quickly reach the barrier of the first-level god, and he could hide outside the boundary, so he did not need to be too afraid of being hunted down by the organizers.

"So, the method is to obtain 'their' energy?" Su Mingan's ultimate goal is still this.

——How can the person in the mirror hurt the person outside the mirror?

——How can those who are being observed and watched fight back against the observers in the shadows?

In fact, he had already thought of a solution, and was just waiting for Dawn's confirmation.

With a crisp "click", Lin Guang cut off a bunch of fresh roses and lilies. He carefully wrapped the thorns and looked at Su Mingan. The wet petals were rolling with dewdrops, shining with dazzling water light.

Li Ming whispered in Su Ming'an's ear and slowly told him the method.

——Su Mingan can deliberately lead "them" to possess himself, and then kill them, triggering the soul ferry, reading "their" memories, emotions and abilities, and reading the coordinates of the platform where "they" are.

After all, most of “they” are ordinary people who are able to peek into other worlds with the help of the platform set up by the Lord of Dreams, that is, dreams.

As long as Su Mingan reads the coordinates of the platform, he can use it to threaten the Lord of Dreams.

Liming said: "After all, the Lord of Dreams will not watch the platform he founded with his own hands being exposed to the universe by you, attracting a group of corrupt hammer iron men and little devils."

"Is it not so chaotic now?" Su Mingan thought of Bai Chun. "Besides, the platform is bigger, more people will become dream patrollers, isn't that good?"

"Some people only want to be big, and some people only want a piece of pure land. The Lord of Dreams is probably the latter. He is powerful and has no worries about food and drink. He does not need a large-scale platform to help him gain faith. Therefore, every Dream Patrolman is carefully selected by him and comes from different planets. However, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. He probably didn't expect the evil deeds of people like Bai Chun." Li Ming said lightly: "In Bai Chun's eyes, she thinks she is right. After all, she is high above and "observing" the world. Of course, she thinks she is noble."

Su Mingan asked: "Does that dream platform have a name?"

From the name, we can get a glimpse of the personality of the Dream Lord. If it is someone like Fun Devil, he would probably name the platform a joke like "Camera Party", if it is a serious person like Liming, he would probably name the platform a standard platform like "Dream Patrol Platform", if it is someone like Jellyfish Emperor, he would probably name the platform a platform like "Emperor's Dream".

Dawn's eyes opened and closed, and a faint light flashed.

He said in a deep voice:

"This dream platform created by the Lord of Dreams to help ordinary people peek into other worlds—"

"It's called [Starting Point]."

"It means that everything is open and everyone is enlightened."

"If you successfully obtain the coordinates of the starting point platform, you can further locate the coordinates of each Dream Patrol family. At that time, you can come to their house or cooperate with them. However, most of them are ordinary people who just accidentally obtained the observation platform."

Su Mingan said: "I will not hold hatred for a Dream Patrol like Dara. But for a Dream Patrol like Bai Chun who sees the world as a game... I will not show mercy."

Liming said unconcernedly, "Also, you need to pay attention to one thing. Luowasha is a book, and you are the protagonist. You have come to this point today, and there must be the hand of the Supreme Lord behind you. If you don't want to fall into the trap He has set for you, you'd better do something beyond common sense. Of course, you don't have to do it, this is just speculation."

Su Mingan suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the copy, the Lord of the End of All Things had tempted him to pick up the "World Destroyer Script" and stop doing the things of a conventional savior. Si Que also claimed to the World Tree that he and Su Mingan would become the "big villains" in the story.

At this time, Su Mingan heard a slightly cold voice:

"It's like watching a movie. Once you see certain scenes, you can guess certain plots. For example, if you see a man and a woman kissing, you think of love and marriage. But if you suddenly turn the camera and find that although the man and woman are kissing, there is an abyss under their feet and they are falling, then the arrangements of the 'behind-the-scenes director' will be in vain, destroying the expected development, and the 'behind-the-scenes director' can no longer control the actions of the man and woman."

It’s Lin Guang.

He came over holding a bunch of roses and lilies covered in dew and handed them to Su Mingan: "I remembered that you haven't received the first bunch of roses and lilies since the official arrival of spring. I'll give them to you."

Su Mingan knew that the familiar Lin Guang was put on his finger as a mechanical ring, and this Lin Guang was just a reappearance after the Dawn System ended everything. He had no real experience and could not even be considered 0321.

Su Mingan didn't want to repeat the previous tragedy, so he just nodded and took it.

"So, what you mean is... by letting me go crazy and destroy logic anytime and anywhere, I can escape the fate that the 'invisible hand' has laid for me in Luowasha." Su Mingan said.

After all, in the eyes of the "observer", the character setting is absolute, and the "protagonist" should be steady, cool, and kind. But if the "protagonist" deviates from the character setting and goes crazy at any time and anywhere, who can restrict his actions?

In the tenth world, Su Mingan was too law-abiding, so his every move was controlled tightly, and he unknowingly walked into the arrangement of fate.

In the eleventh world, it’s better to go crazy.

Su Mingan couldn't help but envy Yamada Machiichi, a certain Pope and Lin Jiang. They had the ability to go crazy anytime and anywhere. They were talented players, but he really couldn't let go.

"My mental state is too normal..." He lamented that he really couldn't go crazy.

He saw Liming and Linguang looking at him with slightly weird eyes, as if they were looking at a naked dancing boss rabbit.

"No...just stay normal..." Liming said earnestly: "Relax a little, that's enough."

"You are good in every way." Lin Guang said.

……

[I realized he was talking about the name of one of our consuls, and I continued, puzzled:]

【"garden?"】

[“The Garden of Forking Paths.”]

[My heart surges, and I say with certainty incomprehensible:]

【“That’s my great-grandfather Peng’s garden.”】

……

Before leaving, Su Mingan had a secret conversation with Liming alone.

"Li Ming, you are close to being a first-level god. I would like to ask you to take a look at my authority... what level is it? Can it be modified, such as making the save point optional? For example, can it be triggered without death?" Su Ming'an asked.

"...Unfortunately, there is no trace to be found."

"Can't even you see it?"

"Yes, your authority must be above mine. There is no room for observation, and no means of evolution."

"All right……"

“So I think your authority is unlikely to be given to you by the world game, but by the universe.”

"The universe? Why would the universe be interested in a nobody like me? I can't be lucky."

"…What if you're not a nobody?"

"what?"

"What if, I mean, you were the bearer of the power of death from the beginning? You evolved from the universe, just like the Lord of the End of All Things and the essence of the World Game, a cosmic organ..."

"……Do not make jokes."

"Okay, actually I don't accept this either. I prefer to believe that you are an ordinary person. I will not deny everything about you as Su Mingan and alienate you into a so-called organ. After all... no matter what kind of dawn I become, whether it is upright or dirty, reality or fairy tale, you are clean."

“It’s my responsibility, not my life essence.”

"Yes, even organs controlled by instinct cannot do what you have done. This is enough to prove your independence."

……

[Albert said: "Before I found this letter, I asked myself: Under what circumstances can a book become infinite. I think there is only one situation, that is, it is a cycle, repeating itself over and over again. The last page of the book must be the same as the first page, so that it can continue endlessly."]

[“Whenever a person is faced with several different choices, he always chooses one possibility and excludes the others; in Peng’s intricate novel, the protagonist chooses all possibilities. This gives rise to many different future lives, many different times, and the branches and leaves are endless.”]

……

When Yamada Machiichi stuffed himself with a lot of snacks that Qin Shaoli had treated him to, he walked out of the reception room.

He saw an electronic door at the end of the corridor move open and a young man with flowing white hair walked out.

Those crystal tentacles have returned to His back, His divine robe has automatically sewed itself together, like a white stream flowing on His body, the camellia blossoming on His shoulders is as ethereal as clouds, its petals brushing against His ears. His expression seems to be frozen, staring at the ground, pausing for a long time.

For a moment, Yamada Machiichi suddenly felt dazed and thought he saw a mask covered with oil paint, but when he blinked, he realized it was an illusion again.

"Su Ming'an, what's wrong? What did Liming say to you last?" Yamada Machi asked tentatively.

Since Liming had a history of using a sleeping spell, Yamada Choichi looked at Su Mingan carefully for a while, and only felt relieved when he was sure there were no strange marks.

Su Ming'an looked at Yamada Machiichi, with an emotion in his eyes that Yamada Machiichi could not understand.

It was as if a heavy rain was falling in this long and narrow steel corridor. The rain flowed and rolled down Su Mingan's hair, and the sound of rain echoed between their gazes.

"…I might really become a 'big villain', Yamada."

“Ah?” Yamada-cho was stunned.

"If I can't find what I need from the 'Dream Patrolman' that possesses me, then I can only ask you..." Su Mingan paused, and before Yamada Choichi could react, he showed a familiar smile: "It's okay, let's go back."

Su Mingan was very familiar with this feeling of hesitation.

I hesitated whether I would do something irreparable, but all the hesitation would lead to a conclusion, which was to do it.

At least, I still have room to make up for the shortcomings. At least, I can still give it one last try. Instead of throwing myself into the abyss without any turn.

As they passed by, Yamada Machiichi seemed to have sensed something and suddenly said, "A 'big villain' is a 'big villain'. Who says that only great and glorious saviors are awesome?" He put his hands on his hips and counted, "You watch a lot of anime, and it's always the big villains who save the world. If you have to tear apart justice and truth to achieve your goal, then do it. You can't let yourself regret it. Besides, it's not like I don't have a mouth. There will always be a day when I can speak."

He said something that made Su Ming'an pause:

"——In this bright and clear world, under bright and clear sky, are we only worthy of walking on the broad and bright road?"

Su Ming'an looked at Yamada Machiichi deeply and curled the corners of his lips.

……

Tao'er had heard Mr. Zhu tell some stories before.

There is a popular savior in the storybook, called "The Great Emperor".

It is said that this emperor had traveled to many countries, saving all living beings. Wherever he went, he saved people. He was a very upright character. But later... Mr. Zhu said this, stroking his goatee and sighing.

"Sir, what happened later?" Taoer quickly raised her hand.

"You little devil, why are you so enthusiastic about studying!" Mr. Zhu scolded with a smile: "Later, people said that the emperor was possessed by evil spirits."

"He still cut off his own flesh and fed it to those who were starving to death, and peeled off his skin to cover those who were freezing to death. But he was getting weaker and weaker, and he could no longer care about so many things. So people started a war to snatch him away."

"There are far more people who died than he saved."

"Later, later, the emperor's friend also died because of this. From then on, the emperor seemed to have gone mad and started killing people. He slaughtered countless people and gradually became a demon in people's eyes. A demon will be killed by everyone on sight."

"This decent character has since become a villain. Whenever people write a new story and need a villain, they will pick him to talk about."

Tao'er couldn't help but say, "This emperor must have some unspeakable secret, just like the god on the sacred mountain. He just lost his power, but he is still a god, not a monster. How can people say that the gods are monsters just because they can't protect them?"

"Then let me ask you, Tao'er." Mr. Zhu held up a ruler, "If the god on the sacred mountain ate people, is he a hero or a villain?"

Tao Er said, "If he eats people, then he is definitely a villain."

Mr. Zhu said: "If the gods eat people, it is to gain power to protect more people. Then is he a hero or a villain?"

This... Taoer hesitated.

Mr. Zhu continued, "If you were the heroine in the story, you would be the best protagonist. The god ate a human to save your life. So is he a protagonist or an antagonist?"

Tao'er was speechless.

She thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I think that as long as a person's ultimate goal is upright, then no matter what he does during this period, he is a hero. And if a person's ultimate goal is to harm others, then even if he accidentally saves many people along the way, he is still a villain."

"Killing one person is a crime, killing a hundred people is a crime for a general, and killing ten thousand people is a crime for a king. Ordinary people kill one person probably for money or power, and most of them are guilty. A general kills a hundred people to quell a war. A king kills ten thousand people, and except for tyranny, it is the same as a general."

"I have heard the story of the Magpie Hero in the Royal City. His writing has killed hundreds of scientists, but in the eyes of the World Tree, he is still a positive character because he has led a new era and can benefit more people."

"So, in Tao'er's eyes, whether it's the emperor who cuts his own flesh to save people or the big demon who wields the butcher knife, they are all positive characters."

Mr. Zhu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his ruler and said, "Silly child, you can have such thoughts because you have never been a victim of a leading role. Tao'er, let me ask you - if one day you become a stepping stone on the road to a leading role, will you still believe that the person who harmed you is a leading role?"

Taoer blinked and nodded under the incredible gazes of her classmates.

"Yes," she said, "because I am too insignificant to be the protagonist or villain in the story. If I could say a few words to the protagonist, wouldn't that prove that Tao'er has become a good person?"

……

The smoke from the cooking stove was still floating and fine rain was falling.

The red rain washed the ground, and Tao'er's breath became weaker and weaker. She was weak and could not withstand the heavy rain that was coming to greet "them".

Aunt Shen who sells vegetables, Aunt Zhao who sells fish, Mr. Zhu who teaches, the kind-hearted mother... all the pillars that stood tall and upright fell to the ground.

She was about to die, but she heard her mother crying and the sound of ice freezing.

Frost... ?

In her blurry vision, she saw a figure walking towards her on the sacred mountain.

Feng Xu rode the wind and came through the rain. The man had white hair and was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female.

Bei Wang received a reminder a few seconds ago: [According to the role-playing rules, you don't need to stay in Shenshan for long.] Frost spread from his body, he opened his mouth, and wisps of soul were sucked into his body, turning into pure power.

Every sip and every bite is a destiny. The heavy rain of the Dream Patrols killed Taoer, and Nagasha lost Taoer, her only source of faith. In order to survive, she sucked away the souls of the Dream Patrols.

The pure white god was stained with sin, and the frost turned into bright red.

Bei Wang's eyes dyed bright red glanced at the little lucky star Hui Zi, it was she who caused all this chaos.

Hui Zi was also looking up at him and said:

-

-

(There is confusion of time and space here, please do not observe)

-

-

"Bang!" Hui Zi's body was crushed and a few strands of blood splashed on his cheeks. Bei Wang wiped the blood. He had already listened to Hui Zi's words.

It turns out she is...

Beiwang immediately controlled himself and didn't want to go down to avoid being observed.

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, cake covered with strawberry jam, caramel macchiato sprinkled with cocoa powder, black tea soaked with vanilla ice cream...

Beiwang filled his thoughts with random thoughts.

He let go of his body control and let Nagasha take control of it. Nagasha lowered her head and glanced at Tao'er, whose skin was red like red rain and she was dying.

The frost spread endlessly, gradually freezing the peaceful village into ice.

"Swallow the souls of those Dream Patrolmen for me." Nagasha said to the god of Yunshang City.

"You are a righteous god, why do you need to do this?" Yunshangcheng said calmly. The gods of Luowasha are divided into different camps. The Ocean Angel has always been a god of order and goodness, and will not eat anyone even if it is severely injured. Once it breaks the rules, it is no longer a righteous god.

Nagasha's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat weird:

"If one is selfless and forgives the enemy who killed his friend, is he a hero? If one avenges his friend and eats someone, is he a villain?"

"If you adhere to kindness and don't kill anyone, are you a hero? If you eat people who harm the people, are you a villain?"

"If the heavens want this justice to fall on whether to kill or not, I will no longer be an upright god, because my only believer taught me that I am the emperor who cuts flesh to save people, and I am also the demon who wields the butcher knife."

The brows of the God of Cloud City relaxed slightly, and He loosened His hands. The souls of the Dream Patrol family who deserved death fell into Nagasha's hands wailing. Nagasha swallowed some and stuffed some into Tao'er's mouth.

He drank the sin, and made the pure white girl in his arms drink the sin as well.

"What... is this? God." Tao'er couldn't see clearly, she just felt like there was something bitter in her mouth.

"Osmanthus cake." Nagasha said.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the gods... is so bitter..." Tao'er touched Nagasha's hand and said intermittently: "I'm about to die... The source of faith in the gods... What should I do..."

Nagasha didn't answer, and slowly closed her eyes with her hands.

She swallowed those souls and would not die in the rain.

He remembered that she had said that she wanted to see the beauty of Kyoto. The peach blossoms in Kyoto must be more beautiful than those in the valley. She could go and see them slowly in the future.

"This strange god, can you do me a favor?" Nagasha raised her head.

The God of Yunshang City stood with his arms crossed: "Why?"

Nagasha promised: "My true identity is the Siren of Reincarnation, and I will be a full-fledged ocean angel in the future. If you need any help, I can help you in the future."

The God of Yunshang City was about to refuse, but he thought of Su Mingan and said casually: "I don't need help, but if you meet someone named 'Oliviers' in the future, help him once."

"Olivius... I remember. When I recover a certain amount of divine power, I will use my clone to contact him." Nagasha nodded.

"What can I do for you?" asked the God of Yunshang City.

"I am about to return to the sea. Can you please take Tao'er to Kyoto and entrust her to a friend of mine?" Nagasha said, "His name is Li Mingyue. I met him by chance during an outing. He is a tourist who is temporarily staying under a peach tree in Kyoto. He has white hair and white clothes, and his appearance is as white as snow. You will not mistake him when you see him."

He looked at Tao'er and whispered, "After swallowing those souls, I have inevitably fallen from a righteous god, and will only become more evil. From now on, she has nothing to do with me anymore."

Then, Beiwang floated out and Nagasha drove him out of her body.

"You have no ill will towards me, but I will be returning to the sea soon, so I will not take you with me." Nagasha looked at Beiwang calmly: "You don't have to act, just do whatever you want to do."

Bei Wang frowned slightly: "In the future... you will become a... very crazy god."

"Ah, I know." Nagasha said, "This is what it means to fall from a righteous god. If you can't be a righteous character, then be a villain that you won't regret."

He glanced at Tao'er, spread his wings, and never looked back.

……

Pure white space.

After Noel Ajinni transferred Su Mingan into "The Sky of Ala Udin", he touched the puppet thread on his chest.

"He actually used his power-holder skills to forcibly raise my favorability to 100%..." He laughed barely perceptibly.

He thought that under the influence of this skill, his original plan would change uncontrollably and his mentality would become more inclined towards Su Mingan, but it seemed... nothing had changed.

Did the favorability really change? Or is he a half-baked NPC, so his skills are ineffective?

He tore open a corner of the pure white space and looked down at the Creator Conference in the royal capital. Sitting in the seat was an identical Noel Akinni.

Inspired by the slicing master Duanying, Noel Akinni learned the slicing technique from the Lord of the End of All Things and cut himself into two pieces. One piece is Noel who has retained all his memories, and the other piece is the disciple game player leader Noel who only has the light memory. The latter has no memory of parting ways with Su Mingan and has never done anything to backstab him. Therefore, the Noel that Su Mingan saw in the night werewolf killing session was very friendly.

Noel let the "simple" self show up and attend the Creator Conference, while the "impure" self hid in a small space and did things secretly.

"The next plan is..." Noel Akinni leaned on his cane and tore open the pure white space in another direction.

He heard the sound of dripping river, as if it was the flow of the long river of time.

On the back of his hand, the rose mark left by the God of Chaos was shining.

The first-level god, the God of Chaos, is in charge of chaos, riddles, fate, and miracles. His "Mist Gap Magicians" are people who travel through various planes. They travel through the five major regions of Rovatha and bring many miracles to the dead country.

However, only Noel Akinni, who is favored by the God of Chaos, knows what the miracles that the God of Chaos is in charge of are. It is not just about crossing regions, but...

"Tear——" Tearing open the pure white space, Noel Akinni landed on the ground with a cane, like a "magician" on the stage.

Under the blue-purple sky, he walked gracefully through the pure white palace and pushed open a heavy door.

On the high platform, a black-haired girl with a single ponytail sat in the illusory sunlight, staring out of the colorful window in a trance, with a wine gourd and a black knife on her waist. She turned around when she heard the noise.

"Good evening." Noel Akinni took off her hat and saluted, smiling: "Miss Single and Double."

……

[“He believed that time had countless series, diverging, converging, and parallel times that wove into an ever-growing, intricate web. The web of times that converged, diverged, intertwined, or never interfered with each other contained all possibilities.”]

……

Before the Great Reset of Luowasha, after the god Ming'an severely injured Siber, Nor had been paying attention to Siber's movements. He expected that she might go to other civilizations to recruit people to help Su Ming'an. However, Siber's whereabouts were unpredictable, and Nor soon lost her trace. In the end, "they" reported her movements to Nor in a timely manner. After being blocked by the Lord of the End of All Things, Siber failed to successfully contact Danshuang, Salina, and Chaoyan.

"Are you Noel Ajinni?" Shan Shuang sat up with the wine jug in hand: "I've heard of you. Su Mingan once came back to rest and said that you were his most trusted friend."

"Yes." Noel smiled, "Now he is in some trouble and may go astray. I would like to invite you to go to Luowasha with me to stop him."

"Su Ming'an? Got astray?" Shan Shuang seemed to have heard a huge joke. She looked at Nuoer coldly for a moment and sneered: "Okay, I'll go and judge whether you are lying to me. If I find out that you are lying, my sword will chop you on the head immediately."

Really alert... Noel put on his hat, lowered the brim, and covered his eyes: "Of course I will always be on the same side with them."

He stroked the lens around his neck and smiled meaningfully.

A long time ago, Noel Akinni noticed a concept - "dividing line".

He had touched upon this concept more than once before the several major resets of his memory. He believed that the black and white lines began to appear after he came into contact with Lu Shen in the first level of Su Mingan's disciple game and saw the "Death of Butterfly".

In the black line, Su Mingan’s skill as the ruler is “Kill the World Tree”, and Xili is a sickly demon girl.

In the white line, Su Mingan's skill as the ruler is "question the world tree, understand the world tree, and become the world tree", and Xili is a cowardly girl in a wheelchair.

Noel didn't know exactly when the black line switched to the white line, but from the changes in the characters "Hui" and "Wei" and the appearance and disappearance of the Hui family, it was clear that it must have been cut more than once.

It should be noted that the concepts of "white line and black line" are different from those of "light side and dark side". It does not mean that all people are jumping on different world lines, but that all people remain unchanged on the two world lines of white line and black line. Only the "narrative anchor point" acts as a camera, repeatedly jumping across the two lines to the "protagonist" Su Mingan, creating a narrative trick.

For example, Su Ming'an in the black line is about to do thing A. At this time, the "narrative anchor point" serving as the camera suddenly jumps to Su Ming'an in the white line. At this time, Su Ming'an in the white line is doing thing B. Then, the "narrative anchor point" jumps back to Su Ming'an in the black line. At this time, Su Ming'an in the black line has completed thing A.

——From the observation perspective, the black line Su Mingan suddenly decided to do B instead of A.

If we only use "ellipsis" to divide the tangent, who can tell whether the "protagonist" in the previous text is still the "protagonist" in the following text?

The mission of the ruler in the black line Su Mingan is always "kill the world tree", and the mission of the ruler in the white line Su Mingan is always "question the world tree, understand the world tree, and become the world tree". It's just that the "narrative anchor point" has jumped from the white line to the black line at a certain moment, creating a narrative trick that is disconnected from the previous and next texts, so it seems that the mission of the ruler has changed from "question the world tree, understand the world tree, and become the world tree" to "kill the world tree".

However, Noel Akinni knew very well that Su Mingan was the only real one, and whichever line she saw Su Mingan on was the real one. The other line was a mirror mechanism product of Luowasha, a replica.

……

“It’s only the cameras that have changed, not the things.” Noel Akinni tapped her cane with her knuckles and smiled as she thought:

"In this way, I can use the 'mapping' principle similar to that of the tenth world - by guessing the movements of the characters on another virtual line, I can help the real line I am on."

"I asked Su Ming'an a long time ago. His power skill is 'Kill the World Tree'. In other words, the only real world line we are in is the black line. The virtual one is the white line."

"Hmm... Let me imagine what would happen to him in the white line. He should choose to reject Su Liujin's invitation, not explore the story of the 0th Disciple Game, focus on collecting energy, lead the Fifth Seat Spark into Luowasha, and then inevitably publicly die and rewind... Haha, but I can't figure out how he can escape the pursuit of the organizers. This part of the deduction is blank."

"But I can probably guess that without the concept of 'them', Siber will not be successfully stopped. She will definitely invite Dan Shuang, Li Mingyue and others to help Su Ming'an deal with me."

"So, I have to strike first..."

With these thoughts in mind, Noor walked towards the next world - Praia.

In the salty and humid sea breeze, he saw an old man standing by the church. The old man was wearing a top hat, a British gentleman's suit, holding a walking stick, with an outstanding temperament, and was looking at the blue sea.

A hundred years have passed in Praia, and all the old people are gone, only the Soul Clan are long-lived.

The "magician" walked towards the old man, took off his hat and saluted, his red robe fluttering and his pupils as black as ink.

"Mr. Alcherev." He gave a carefully prepared smile: "I implore you to join my team."

……

[“Most of the time, we don’t exist; at some times, you exist but I don’t; at other times, I exist but you don’t; and at still other times, both you and I exist.”]

I felt the restlessness I had just described. I felt that the damp garden around the house was filled with countless invisible people. Those people were Albert and me, hidden in other dimensions of time, busy and diverse.

……

Under the World Tree.

After Su Mingan returned to Luowasa, the first thing he did was to look for the World Tree.

As the world consciousness of Rovasha and the species with the highest authority, it is necessary to find out the position of the World Tree.

When Su Mingan arrived, there was no one under the tree.

"World Tree, I want to 'coexist' with you for a while, and use your perspective to find the locations of the Dream Patrollers in various places in Luowasha." Su Ming'an's spine broke through the hose-like tentacles and stretched out to the World Tree.

The World Tree did not refuse.

With a few crisp "clicks", Su Ming'an's tentacles connected to the World Tree. At this time, he saw the empty round table and round stools next to him, a pot of black tea and a plate of sugar cubes on the table.

"Would you like some tea?" The voice of the World Tree was young and immature. "I know you like sweet things, so I prepared a lot of sugar cubes for you."

"You can... stir these sugar cubes slowly."

"One, two, three... a lot of pieces."

……

[“At all times,” I said, slightly startled, “I remain grateful and in awe of you for recreating Peng’s garden.”]

[“Not at all times,” he said with a smile. “Because time always branches off, leading to countless futures. At some point in the future - I can become your enemy.”]
