Chapter 1318 - 1312: Demon Line · Luowasha ·
Su Ming’an looked at Noel.Under the red sun, in front of the divine throne, the fierce wind blew through Noel’s golden hair, the Blue Rose Scepter was gripped in Noel’s palm, yet he hadn’t moved.
"..." Noel looked at Su Ming’an, without lifting the Blue Rose Scepter.
Seeing Noel not taking action, Su Ming’an could only act himself to restore the save. But before he could kill himself, his vision blurred and he was pulled into a dream.
Under the wisteria, Sique sat at the table, unusually upright in posture.
"No need to hurry... just go out and have a look. I have a strategy." Sique hinted at Su Ming’an not to take action.
"And those who died, like Yamada Machiichi..."
"They won’t be reset to powerlessness and return to Main God World. Because essentially, they haven’t died." Sique said.
Su Ming’an widened his eyes.
... So where did they go?
Sique lifted his eyelids, put down the teacup:
"— They have been controlled by the Master of the End of All Things and entered the [Dark Side]."
"[Dark Side]?" This was the first time Su Ming’an formally heard this term.
Sique looked at the mirror next to him.
This was an ordinary mirror.
"You should remember the system prompt at the beginning of the Eleventh World, right?" Sique said.
...
[Eleventh World: Mirror of Creation·Luowasha Plane. Non-directional development type instance, character role-playing type instance.]
...
... Indeed.
The real name of the Eleventh World is "Mirror of Creation". "Luowasha" seems to be... just a suffix?
Su Ming’an was moved in his heart, quickly forming an idea: "Luowasha is the [Light Side]? And there’s another [Dark Side]..."
Luowasha isn’t everything, there’s another plane similar to it.
"Rest assured, that [Dark Side] and Luowasha are almost identical, being a mirror reflection, there won’t be much difference." Sique said.
Su Ming’an breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn’t need to start from scratch.
"Because the Master of the End of All Things made a move in advance, there are some things I need to make clear to you." Sique said.
Su Ming’an drank lemon juice.
"The Master of the End of All Things is in [Dark Side]. Therefore, we can only see Him in dreams, because His true form is not on this side," Sique lifted his head: "World Tree is the Ruler of the [Light Side], the Master of the End of All Things is the Ruler of the [Dark Side]."
At this moment, Su Ming’an suddenly had a flash of genius, deducing: "—Wait, could the Master of the End of All Things be the mirror reflection of the World Tree?"
...
[Yi Song furrowed his brow.]
[The information he heard was, on the tenth day, the World Tree will destroy a hundred billion people with low story scores. But now the message released by the World Tree is, on the tenth day, the God of All Ends will destroy people.]
[—Two statements completely contradict each other, which one is true?]
[Is it that the World Tree wants to save people, and the God of All Ends wants to kill people?]
[Or is it that the World Tree wants to kill people, and the God of All Ends wants to save people?]
...
—The truth is, both statements are true!
In Su Ming’an’s heart rose overwhelming waves, at this moment, he suddenly understood...
—Both the World Tree wants to save people and the God of All Ends wants to kill people!
—Both the World Tree wants to kill people and the God of All Ends wants to save people!
In the eyes of the Luowasha people, it’s the Master of the End of All Things who wants to destroy them on the tenth day, descending the red sun.
But thinking in reverse, what about in the eyes of the people from the Dark Side? If presented with a mirror, hypothetically the reflection of the Master of the End of All Things is the World Tree—
On this [Light Side], it’s the Master of the End of All Things descending the red sun, people fleeing in the apocalypse, the World Tree becomes the Savior.
But on that [Dark Side]... it’s precisely the World Tree descending the red sun, people fleeing in the apocalypse, the Master of the End of All Things becomes the Savior!
"Hiss..." Su Ming’an took a breath. He suddenly remembered a vast organization—[Death Alliance].
...
[The [Death Alliance] prides itself as the world’s ascetics, to let everyone fall into joyful death, they would rather not die themselves but work diligently to help others, until everyone receives the "redemption" of death, only then they would rest assuredly go to death.]
...
Previously, Su Ming’an always thought this was just a lunatic organization, after all, Luowasha is so crazy, one more crazy organization is also normal.
But is there a possibility—[Death Alliance] has long known the existence of the [Dark Side], they manufacture deaths, actually to send people into the [Dark Side]?
Immediately, a problem quickly emerged. Su Ming’an’s death... doesn’t seem to trigger such a mechanism, but leads to direct death. Moreover, Su Ming’an once returned to Main God World and did not see a broadcast related to [Dark Side], maybe only when the red sun descends, this mechanism would exist.
"What if Yamada Machiichi and others die in the [Dark Side], will they still return to the [Light Side]?" Su Ming’an questioned.
Die once more, would they return again?
Thus forming a never-ending cycle. The Master of the End of All Things kills here, the World Tree kills there, people on both sides shuttle between life and death, thinking about it is even a bit funny.
"No." Sique, however, denied: "[Dark Side] if dying again, it is real death."ernal life."
...
Eternal life.
Those recorded by Sique can achieve eternal life.
Why?
"In the Tenth World, you already experienced that sense of being ’recorded,’ didn’t you? Through [Soul Ferry], you documented everything about the deceased, then resurrected them." Sique said:
"The Feather Pen of a High Rank Creator has a similar recording function, with an even higher positional rank. Because in Luowasha, everything is fundamentally represented by ’text,’ the foundational logic of our civilization."
"Unlike Soul Ferry, what’s resurrected will be the individual themselves, not a counterfeit copy—because their souls aren’t obliterated upon death, but temporarily absorbed into the World Origin of Luowasha—in essence, the World Origin is the largest Memory Clip, possessing a scale of text by his measure."
"When you rewrite everything about them—name, personality, appearance... by penning words with a high degree of compatibility, calling back their souls wandering within the text of the Memory Clip, they won’t face death."
"This is... the reason everyone is crazily pursuing me."
"They long for me to remember them, to bring them back to life in each new book, granting them... eternal life."
..... ’Pursue’ is a peculiar choice of word.
Although he wanted to quip about this, Su Ming’an was still taken aback by Sique’s words.
——He suddenly understood what Pudding initially said.
...
"——Everyone will inevitably revolve around you. Whether they wish to become your true friend or your mortal enemy... and your attitude determines their stance. Whether they become the [Supporting Male Character of the Protagonist Group], [Female Supporting Character of the Protagonist Group], or despised by you, becoming [Cannon Fodder], [Malicious Antagonist]."
"——In their desperation to be near you, they humble themselves to be the [Righteous Faction] at your side, seeking more screen time. Some who truly lack a way to earn your trust deliberately play the [villain], getting involved by opposing you to gain presence."
...
——As long as they can appear in the eyes of the [Protagonist], becoming a critical plot character in Luowasha, people won’t spare any cost to fight for screen time.
Su Ming’an lowered his gaze, looking at the blank book in his hand.
The pages shimmered with golden edges.
In the past, he couldn’t understand why these Royales were so fanatical, so crazed, treating Sique as if they were the public’s beloved in Luowasha. But he now understood, it wasn’t just due to Sique’s personal charm, personal charm alone couldn’t reach this extent.
As it turns out, they wanted to,
——[gain eternal life... through text].
