Chapter 1174: One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Two · "TE·Seal with Me (11)"

The snow burned in flames.

The stars fell to the bottom of the sea.

The sky and the earth are upside down, and the sun and the moon are in the same sky.

——A civilization that should have perished thousands of years ago was lifted up by the gods and flew high into the next long river of time.

Just as the stars have broken free from their chains, apples have broken free from the shackles of gravity, and freedom has broken free from the shackles of the earth. When the white tentacles of the gods rise, the hard disk of life blooms with a brilliance that has not been seen for a thousand years.

"boom--!"

The moment the god raised the sword of destiny, illusion and reality collided.

Ten thousand world lines felt the arrival of this moment.

Some people looked up from the fields, some prayed in the church, some picked up the broken torches, and some looked out to sea.

The endless history is reflected in their pupils like burning firewood.

They all sensed the arrival of this critical point.

The invisible and immaterial ark has reached the other shore, and has become a ship of Theseus. Over the past thousand years, the deck, parts, and crew of the ark have been replaced by batch after batch, generation after generation... The world has changed dramatically, and billions of people have looked at the unreachable destination, drifting on the sea for their entire lives, using outdated telescopes to look forward to the other shore that they will never reach in their lifetime. But even so... the purpose and destination of this ark have never changed.

——It has always been,

The "next century" of civilization.

The gods pointed their swords to the sky, and the [Utopia] began to be established.

The boundaries between ten thousand world lines are no longer clear, and dreams and reality are intertwined. Its walls are like a canvas of time, painted with traces of the years. The shadowy flow of people shuttles like ghosts, and every step crosses the boundary of time.

Images from countless eras are glued to each other, and countless human figures walk out from under everyone's feet.

Their clothes are different, like the stitches of time.

They may be wearing intricate Victorian gowns with lace cuffs and gorgeous skirts; or they may be wearing colorful hippie-style tapestries and denim, exuding a spirit of freedom and rebellion; or they may be wearing modern, simple fashion, with its neatly cut lines highlighting the aesthetic of the new century.

Every piece of clothing is the secret language of time, every piece of jewelry is the epitome of civilization, and every person is rooted in an era with solidified characteristics.

When they saw each other, they showed familiar expressions - this was the first time since they were born that they saw another "selves" in the world.

"It turns out that the other me will be a captain." A sloppy young scavenger looked at his other self. He once dreamed of becoming a captain, but because of his poor family situation, he had to give up.

It turns out that in another "possibility"...he fulfilled his childhood wish.

……

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just an ordinary office worker." A middle-aged man looked shyly at the crown on his other self's head. It turns out that he also has this "possibility".

The king answered him: "I was born into a royal family and had a very good teacher, which made me a qualified king... If you were in my time, you would be the same as me."

The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes full of regret.

Wang, who looked exactly like him, showed an envious expression: "But I envy you too. You have a happy family, but my relatives..."

There are gains and losses.

When Zhuang Zhou envied the butterfly...how could he know whether another Zhuang Zhou in his dream was envious of him?

……

"Hello... another me in the world." A little girl didn't understand what was going on, but greeted excitedly anyway.

The twenty-something white-collar worker gave her a complicated look and patted her head:

"When I was eight years old, please don't give up your dreams, and don't take a job you don't like just for the sake of stability."

“I am not happy at all with my current life, but I can’t extricate myself from it. But I don’t want…another [me] to make the same mistake.”

"Okay, I promise you. I will become an outstanding botanist!" The little girl nodded innocently. At this moment, a new "possibility" for her future took root in her heart.

In that "possibility", she is no longer a white-collar worker who works all day long. Instead, she spends all year long in the forest and explores the wilderness.

——Her future was thus blossoming with countless tender and new flowers.

……

There are tens of millions of roads in a person's life.

Endless "possibilities" emerge from every key choice point and are confirmed as reality by me.

When you meet someone you like when you are young, should you express your feelings boldly or keep it secret in your heart?

After twelve years of hard study, should I work hard day and night or find another way?

When you reach a turning point in your life, you should choose between continuing your studies or returning to your family.

——When you make a choice, new “possibilities” will extend from under your feet.

Humans do not have the power to infinitely trace back time, nor do they have the power of observation of gods. Only after walking for a long time and looking back suddenly can we find out what the original choice brought.

When all the "possibilities" are presented before our eyes,

They suddenly realized that they still had this kind of future.

It turns out that when they were discarding something, they were also picking up something.

Human beings are born to be constantly reborn.

……

"Outside the screen window, the glacier is jingling~"

There was singing coming from somewhere.

A bright light rose from the sword of God and rushed into the sky.

A semicircular arc-shaped galaxy spans across the sky...across the mountains, across the rivers, across the plains, until it spans the entire world, like a vast glacier.

The quiet and eternal light flickers on the arc.

Everyone witnessed the spectacle.

——A suspended world gradually cleared up the blurry clouds and mist, revealing a clear face. It hangs upside down under the sky, a mirror image of this world, an inverted ideal city.

"That is--"

——[Utopia].

People couldn't help but call out its name.

The sky and the earth split at this moment, and parallel realities collided with each other. The gun barrels in people's hands lost their flames, and the bullets fell upwards.

Gravity overturned the common sense of the world, and heaven and earth exchanged thrones - heaven became earth, and earth became heaven.

People felt their bodies were lighter than ever before, as if they had lost the pull of gravity and were even floating towards the sky.

"In the first watch, the iron horse passed by my room~"

They couldn't tell whether they were floating in the sky or standing firmly on the earth.

The blue full moon they gazed at was either a bright light hanging high in the night sky or an illusion deep under the water.

Pure white angel wings soared behind Su Mingan, and he was hanging high on the top of this infinite utopia.

The sky and the earth are suspended upside down, and the fluttering white tentacles are like the feathers of a white bird.

"At midnight, a white bird sings in my dream~"

The shadows retreated calmly, and as the ideal country was established, they gradually left the sky. His posture was elegant, and although he was clearly pushed out, it seemed as if he had walked out on his own initiative.

The dazzling light lingered in the sky, and the city in the mirror fell down little by little until it overlapped the ground, like the overlap of dream and reality - the confirmation of countless "possibilities".

The Utopia was established, forming a huge dimensional barrier. At this moment, Su Mingan remembered the ten questions that the gods had originally asked him.

……

【Question 5: What do you think destiny is? 】

……

What is destiny?
He acted according to the Millennium Plan from beginning to end. Was he obeying fate?
No.

The corpses of our predecessors paved the way for the final victory, and I am just a person who completes their unfinished business. This is not "obedience" but "inheritance."

They had arranged everything for me long before I arrived. It was a cover-up, not manipulation.

The Eye of the Old Ones was left by the gods. The Sword of Destiny was given to me by Hei Que on purpose. The Immortal Talisman was given to me by Su Wensheng on purpose. Meeting Chao Yan on the beach was arranged. The destruction of the Alien King was arranged.

Leave Daoya City → leave the protection of the Utopia, the Eye of the Old Ones on your body begins to resonate → activate the tower → get the three elements sent by others → meet the conditions for awakening the Alien King and cannot maintain sanity → go back a thousand years → take a vacation to gain positive emotions → come to a thousand years later to awaken the Alien King again and be able to maintain sanity → successfully establish the Utopia.

It seems that everything has been arranged, this is a "fully automatic salvation plan."

However, whether he can reach the final step depends on himself.

It is because of "killing fate" that he embarked on another "fate". It's like giving him a death rollback. Even if he knows it's arranged, he will still walk this path without hesitation.

Is it cowardice to obey fate and not dare to resist?

No, it is determination and courage.

So many people who are in charge of the project know that it will not end well, but they still insist on the Millennium Project. Are they willing to submit to this fate of sacrifice?

No.

It is to do it even though you know it is difficult.

At this moment he finally understood how heavy the fate was. Countless people twisted themselves and sacrificed their lives just to guide him.

——In this way, the [past] and [future] finally became the [present].

He knew what the final step was.

If there is a god in the ideal country, the overlapping images can still interfere with the ideal country.

Therefore, he needed to kill himself in the godly state.

——Kill yourself.

——Kill [me].

……

[Question 7: Do you think that "self" is the most valuable thing in human beings? If one day, you have to choose between these two, which one will you choose? If you can only realize your ideal by killing yourself, will you swing the sword at yourself? Please answer "yes" or "no". ]

[Su Mingan frowned. This question is really unlucky.]

[However, his answer is also obvious——]

……

【Yes. 】

……

Su Mingan finally understood why the gods asked him that at that time.

It turned out that the god had predicted at that time that if Su Mingan reached the end, he would definitely draw his sword against himself.

His two clones are no longer usable and he can no longer escape.

So, how should he kill himself?

According to common sense, Su Mingan should be on vacation in the tenth world, and the old god should have done all this on Su Mingan's behalf.

Su Mingan blinked and suddenly smiled. He finally understood why the gods were eager to stop him from saving the world. It turned out that he had to die in the end. The gods were saving his life.

At this moment, he sensed a sense of despair similar to Praya's final stage, but this time he did not have a second red rose.

Dieying's laughter came: "...So, Su Mingan, for a higher ideal, you dare not swing the sword against yourself for the old world. Because this is not your home after all, Zhaixing is more important than this place."

Su Ming'an ignored His ridicule and hesitated for a moment before turning the sword around and pointing the tip at himself.

The expression on his face tended to freeze.

...people of the olden days.

...You have paid so much and waited so long for this day...The Millennium Plan is so perfect, and the sure victory is so moving...So, you will definitely not treat the final executor unfairly.

You have touched me so much during this journey that I can try to swing the sword for you...even just once.

He looked at the shining tip of the sword and closed his eyes. Before he closed his eyes, he saw the surprise on Dieying's face. It seemed that He did not expect that he would really swing the sword.

But when the tip of the sword pierced his chest, he heard a singing.

In tune with his voice...a clear, melodious, youthful song.

A huge amount of memory flowed into his body along with the sword.

There is the sound of a long song in my ears.

It was Changge who told him everything in a slow narrative tone.

……

Su Mingan.

Before you swing your sword, you must know a story.

A story spanning 1,200 years, a long, long time ago.

A story about the beginning of the old world, about the beginning of the Millennium Plan, and about me and General Qin.

The ideal country was finally established, and I can tell you this story. After knowing this story... you can make a decision.

……

……

【He gives me ideas, and I lend him eyes.】

【I can't steer a boat.】

[But if you were on a distant seashore, I would brave the storm to find you, my treasure.]
