Chapter 1180 Chapter 17 · "TE·Seal with Me ()"

【《The Fourth World Game Protocol》：】

【I solemnly swear.】

[I firmly promise that I will voluntarily become the protector of mankind, remain enthusiastic about the old world, remain loyal to mankind, and be faithful to the mission! ]

[I will obey all instructions of the Millennium Plan, follow the orders of the gods and General Qin, stick to my heart, not be envious of higher dimensions, not be afraid of sacrifice, and be brave to contribute! ]

【I swear to abide by the following treaty:】

[1. If multiple people enter the world game at the same time, the person who clears the first dungeon with the highest difficulty will be selected as the first player.]

[2. If the first player in the first place fails, the next player will be ranked next to the person who has completed the game perfectly.]

【3. During the game, cooperate with the establishment of human organizations such as the United Government, the Self-Saving Alliance, and the Guardian Department, and establish temporary laws. All conflicts between adventure players and casual players are prohibited. 】

【4. When making your final wish, discuss all wishes in advance. If a conflict arises, kill the conflicting party immediately.】

【5. During the game, the position, identity, and ability of the "first player" shall not be questioned. The influence of public opinion on the first player shall be strictly managed, and the first principle is to ensure the first player's clearance status.】

【6.…】

【at last. 】

[I swear that in the overall plan of a thousand years, no matter which person, position, or link is missing, when the world needs me, I will quickly fill the vacancy, sacrifice voluntarily, and have no complaints.]

[We don’t have a real perfect “savior”, nor a great pioneer capable of leading the entire civilization - so each of us will become this “savior”. ]

[We understand that this is a mission with a very high mortality rate. Even if someone really wins in the end and gets the authority, there is a very high probability that they will die due to the wear and tear of their soul. Therefore, we promise that no matter who wins this world game with a perfect clearance, if their own life cannot be saved, they will voluntarily transfer all resources to Su Mingan bot and give up the honor and title of "Old God".]

[——I wish the Millennium Project a complete success! ]

[——I wish mankind to win this intergenerational battle that will last for a thousand years, cover ten thousand timelines, and span forty generations! ]

[——I wish that human history will continue forever, and I wish that the future of mankind will be glorious and brilliant! ]

【Respect the ideal! Respect the future! Respect humanity!!!】

[Swearers: Zhao Yan, Li Mingyue, Xiao Ying, Chang Ge, Xia Jiawen, Li Yuxuan... (a total of 253 people)]

[(In addition, we took the name of the pioneer and used it as the common code name for the 253 of us, which is - "Shan Chang Ge".)]

……

Human beings did not just focus on "Su Ming'an", nor did they stand idly by and watch the pioneers' efforts and then hide behind to reap the benefits.

The combined power of civilizations was twisted into a rope, firmly grasped in the hands of all the "original preparers". They were not bound by status, nor were they limited to numbers such as "nine seats" or "twelve managers", but increased without limit.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

There can be more than one savior.

There are always more than one person like "Su Ming'an". People may not be exactly alike, but there will always be people with similar core spirits.

Brave and fearless policemen, firefighters, soldiers, even doctors who don’t sleep for days and nights, teachers who go to the countryside to teach and eat steamed buns and pickles, forest rangers who selflessly dedicate their lives, and island guards who guard isolated islands day and night... Most of them meet this condition. They can completely become this kind of original.

The concept of salvation in the old days has always been "saturation rescue".

To replace the "Nine Seats",

——It is “seven billion seats”.

Instead of "a 19-year-old student",

——It is "countless doctors, teachers, firefighters, soldiers"... Similarly, the subsequent Millennium Ark crossing will also be inseparable from their reincarnated descendants.

Here, salvation is the responsibility of "everyone", which is embodied in a complex and complete salvation structure.

No one can be left behind.

Anyone can be less.

……

The fourth world game is over.

"Changge" won in the end and gained the authority of "time".

Since he is essentially the Su Mingan bot, the ability he possesses to go back in time is called "Little Su's Backtrack."

At this time, the real Su Mingan was possessed by "Changge" and experienced the fourth world game. When Su Mingan started his vacation and left the Holy City, "Changge" regained the ability to control his body.

"Has he left?" Changge opened his eyes and asked the gods.

"Yes. He changed into a bionic body and went on vacation. Now he should be a captain in the Age of Navigation." The god closed the poetry collection in his hand.

Changge nodded silently.

He went to the cemetery.

Flowers bloomed in the garden. He placed bunches of blue roses in front of people's graves, and took out lotus and music scores, standing there for a long time.

The cruelty of this world game was beyond imagination. More than 200 "good Changge" took over the authority of "time" one by one, but all failed. In the end, they gathered their resources on Changge, so that Changge could take over the authority of time.

Among a billion people, only a single digit number survived.

The setting sun fell on Changge’s brows. This was the last time Changge saw the sun in the holy city.

After that, he closed his consciousness, deprived himself of his senses, sank into the deep sea, and waited silently for a thousand years - he needed to use this method of closing himself off to resist the power of time.

Occasionally when he woke up, he would silently watch Su Mingan's vacation. When Su Mingan sailed freely on the sea, Changge endured the long and distant loneliness. When Su Mingan held Yueyue's hand and danced, Changge repeatedly recalled the names of the dead in the war. When Su Mingan sat on the eaves watching fireworks and watching the snow with Alice, Changge carved the faces of the old friends with a knife to remind himself not to forget, not to forget.

do not forget.

There was no light in the silent darkness, only endless loneliness and stillness. He was like a cat trapped in a narrow and suffocating box. And this kind of waiting lasted for a thousand years.

"The world is floating in the air, and the blessed scene is coming to dawn..."

"The world passes by, and the blessed scene ends at dawn"

I sing this song over and over again, with a gentle and sincere tone, and recall the eyes of my old friends over and over again.

Otherwise he will begin to forget who he is, where he comes from, and what he is waiting for.

He knew what his final outcome would be, which was an irreversible death. The only thing at the end of the road was death. He was just waiting for the moment to block the sword for Su Mingan, without any possibility of happiness. But even if all the waiting was for that "death" - so what?
For him, death just meant going to see Changge.

Changge had gone a thousand years ahead of him, and he was finally going to meet him.

By then, we'll have to see how that guy's gaming skills have been honed. They should be pretty good by now.

He smiled and waited silently, continuing to carve the faces and names of the victims over and over again.

——Until the day when the dawn rises.

Wearing the "wooden wings" that he had made as a teenager, he raised his head and looked at the crooked "Tower of Babel" that was no longer tall.

Take a deep breath,

Enthusiasm is the wings and long-cherished wish is the style.

Hold your head high, stand tall, and leap up——

……

——"Long Song" finally flew towards the ideal.

……

I held that person's hand and sword, and saw that person's similar yet different black eyes and the bright color in his eyes.

It was as if he was looking in a mirror, or as if he was seeing a dear friend who had passed away. His heart was pounding, and his eyes were clear and bright.

"Great, I'm finally going to meet him." He smiled.

"It's been a thousand years, he should have..."

"You beat my game."

……

Su Mingan caught Changge.

The white tentacles looked like angel wings, gently embracing the lantern keeper who had been waiting for a thousand years.

Due to the inertia of the impact, they spun in the air for a moment before they stabilized their bodies.

Why could Changge command a war, why could Changge play the piano, why did Changge's ideas always coincide with his own...it seemed as if the answer came to him in an instant.

At the end of the story, Changge gets a hug from himself. Although everything about him comes from this person, including his appearance, voice and past, when their eyes meet, they can clearly see the difference.

They met before dawn.

At this time, people screamed and pointed to the sky because they saw an incredible sight.

"Look quickly -"

People saw - even if it was not clearly presented, but similar things were happening in the other 9999 timelines.

——In every timeline, there is a god-like person floating in the sky, holding up the ideal country. Their appearances are different, their ages are different, but their movements are similar to Su Mingan.

"This is..." Su Mingan didn't expect that the other 9999 timelines were doing the same thing. Although those 9999 people did not become gods, they just gathered their strength to help the main timeline where Su Mingan was located to establish an ideal country.

"Su Ming'an, before the end, I will explain [three things] to you. This is [the first thing]." Changge said:

"In fact, even if your world line fails, other world lines will soon take over. Remember? The gods told you that even if you play it safe for 20 days, there will be an 'old god' who will take over your responsibilities and do the same thing as you."

"And the 'old god' mentioned by the gods is not just one person."

"But——"

Changge pointed his finger at the figures of the 9999 timelines:
"【them】."

Su Mingan's pupils suddenly widened.

"[They] are all people like you. Maybe they are not called 'Su Ming'an, they are not your age, and they do not have black hair and black eyes. Their occupations are diverse, including soldiers, farmers, accountants, doctors, sixty-year-olds and teenagers... You can't even tell each of their names, you can only call them by the unified code name in the Millennium Plan - 'Shan Changge'." Changge said:

"The first batch of 'Shan Chang Ge' had only 253 members, and now there are 9999 members."

"They have similar temperaments and wills to you. They are the most suitable people for their world lines."

"If you fail, the energy accumulated in the Old World, the authority you left behind, and the faith gathered from all over the world can create the next 'Old God'."

"If this 'Old God' also fails, one of the remaining 9998 people will soon stand up and become the third-ranked 'Old God'. If he fails again, there will still be 9997 people to be the fourth, fifth, sixth, or even the ten thousandth-ranked 'Old God'."

"One by one, someone will succeed in supporting the ideal country."

"——What if they keep dying?"

"We have [10,000] world lines, so we have [10,000] chances."

"The ancestors of the original Heavenly Generation have long since died, but as long as the hard drive of life is still there, the will of immortality will continue to rotate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years—"

Changge smiled with curved eyebrows, looking very proud:
"Eternal Immortality."

[“Winter is not eternal, the cracks in the wall will be filled, and people will love in the flames and shouts. For this spring, I voluntarily swear to become a good song.”]

……

When Su Mingan looked at them, an information panel popped up quietly, and most of their deaths ended up in [Utopia].

When Su Mingan raised his sword, the other 9999 people raised their swords almost simultaneously.

When Su Mingan moved forward, the other 9999 people moved forward almost in sync.

All the "heirs" follow the "God", all the "Shanchangge" cooperate with "Su Ming'an", and all the "seeds" yearn for the "grown flowers".

It was like the end of a movie, with names glowing silently on the screen. You couldn't even see who they were, but you knew that this movie existed because of these unclear names.

——Even if "Su Ming'an" didn't become the old god, there would be 9999 other people with slightly lower adaptability to replace his great cause. For example, Chao Yan, Li Mingyue, Yi Zhongyu and others. Of course, the success rate would be much lower, and more people would die, but it doesn't mean that everything will be lost without Su Ming'an.

——Even if "Su Ming'an" didn't become the first player, there would be others who would take over this mission. For example, Noel, Beiwang, or some sincere and perfect player. Maybe they didn't do so well, but they would never give up.

——But Su Mingan walked out of the town and declared himself the "Old God".

——But Su Mingan stepped to the front and accepted himself as the “No. 1 Player”.

Just to maximize the adaptability and success rate, just because I am the best at this.

Other "good at singing" such as Li Mingyue, Chao Yan, etc. will still assist him, make up for his mistakes and make up for his shortcomings.

——Until the bell of fate rang the sound of the end of the millennium.

——All the stars converge into one point, forming the vast, boundless, vast and long-lasting Milky Way——

……

Winter is over.

The road ahead is clear.

……

[TE·"Seal with Me" perfect clearance progress: -90%]
