Chapter 1182 Chapter 1180 "TE Seals Me (End)"

Chapter 1182: "TE: Seal It With Me (End)"

"From this distant observation point, the planet wouldn't appear particularly important. But to us, it already is."

[“Think of the rivers, forests, cities, countless lives fighting for love and hatred, and the gods and demons pursuing light on this tiny dot.]

[“This tiny dot holds all of our hopes and dreams, our challenges and fears, our history of creation and exploration.”]

[——Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot]

……

Su Mingan remembers the ending of this story.

……

Plans woven with words become reality, and flowers grow from virtual castles in the air.

The end of all ages and all paths converges at one point, and the lamplighter has finished his story.

At this moment, they just need to embrace the future.

In the mighty wind, Changge finally asked him:
"Su Mingan."

"You are my admirer for a short time, and a friend with whom I resonate with my soul. If there is even the slightest possibility, we will meet again in a certain possibility."

"Can you be my good friend?"

"Of course. Death is not the end, oblivion is." Su Mingan said with a smile: "You blocked the sword for the gods, I guess the whole world will remember you."

He answered with a knowing smile.

This will make the parting less painful.

Changge also smiled, as if he remembered someone: "Really... You haven't forgotten me, that's good."

Just remember me, at least a little bit.

Remember my name, remember my song, remember my deeds - I would feel greatly honored if you could remember me.

Because I fulfilled a friend's long-cherished wish, and I did not let his last cry down.

In the endless "possibilities", maybe we will appear in the future, but that will no longer be me. Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, I am a tombstone that has dragged the corpse of my best friend for a thousand years, but created the "eternity" in front of the world.

I died a heroic death, not a silent one.

I would rather die in the end of a thousand years than survive in humiliation.

I became the last "savior" instead of closing my eyes in despair before dawn. People remembered our name - "Changge".

They even used our names as code names: Good Changge, Evil Changge. This will be written in the textbooks of history and will never be forgotten.

——Will I be satisfied with this?
My dear friend...

Long song… ?
……

"If you are not careful, I will suddenly leave you"

"Do you remember someone singing to you night after night?

"La, la, la, la..."

"Changge" hummed softly, gently squeezed Su Mingan's soul out of his body, and grasped the hilt of the sword.

My best friend.

If one day I leave, I will return with you.

With wooden wings, I flew high over the Tower of Babel, and then fell with a bloody head, just like you.

...Do you still remember that someone once sang for you?

"Wow——!"

The sword of destiny is raised high.

Su Mingan's soul floated up, overlooking the end of the story.

Ten thousand timelines run parallel at the same moment, and the soul is like a glimmer of light adorning the night sky.

At the end of the sky and the earth is the endless sunset. The scorching sun burns like a raging fire, and shines together with the compassionate and cold blue moon.

It was as if the stars fell into the sea, the flowers bloomed among the clouds, and the mountains fell into the abyss.

The river of time merges into the silent moonlight, and every drop of water is a possible world.

People saw countless "I". Each one lived in his own reality, but quietly influenced each other. Seeds took root and sprouted in each timeline, blooming flowers of different colors.

The heaven and earth shook violently, and all causes and effects snapped into place perfectly.

He dropped his eyelids.

It turns out that people had calculated everything from the beginning, to the middle, to the end...even the final sword.

This was not the most complicated plan for saving the world that he had ever seen, but it was the most grand plan for saving the world that he had ever seen - it mobilized every person, every resource, every minute and every second in the world, and was stingy to an astonishing degree.

Everyone is in the game. If you get involved, you have a chance to win.

——Because the most difficult problem is at the very beginning: How can a civilization that remains at a medium level of technology fight against high-dimensional beings? There are only two answers: surrender humbly or assimilate into predators.

But they chose to take a completely different path in the garden path, achieving a unique idealistic romance.

——Make "I" come from the [future], but save the [past] in the [present].

——Make “I” the “I” of the future, the “I” of the past, and the “I” of the past, present, and future combined

Holding the Eye of the Old Days, the Sword of Destiny and the Talisman of Immortality as gods, he finally overturned the iceberg and solved the wish of the thousand-year-old myth.

Let "ten thousand" still be "ten thousand", and expand the virtual into the real.

No one has contributed nothing in this salvation.

Billions of us are born into this world, billions of us live our lives...

Soul ferry, life hard drive, dream patrol game, time mapping.

From one, ten thousand things are broken down, the world comes together, good and evil kill each other, and all paths become one.

——To fulfill eternal wishes and to avoid reincarnation for hundreds of generations.

——Sealed by Me.

……

[TE·"Seal with Me" perfect clearance progress: -93%]

……

"Boom——!"

The heaven and earth shook with a sharp sound.

Under the grand dusk, magnificent light falls into people's eyes.

The god stood at the end of the sunset and pointed the sword of destiny at himself.

"Su Mingan."

Changge looked up and met the eyes of Su Mingan's soul floating in the air.

Although he could not see souls, at that moment, it was as if their eyes met and they saw the similarities deep in each other's hearts.

"【Every atom in our bodies can be traced back to the Big Bang and the nuclear fusion in massive stars that exploded more than 50 billion years ago. We are the stars that gained life, and then were given the mission of self-discovery by the universe.】" Changge smiled slightly, his eyes clear and bright:

"I have completed this mission."

"I don't regret being you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for liking... this world."

Su Mingan opened his mouth and said something.

But Changge couldn't hear it anymore.

He took one last look at the world, and waited until the sword of destiny was fully charged. He closed his eyes and stabbed -

His last words with a smile lingered in the air.

……

"bring it on."

"This is [my] great final sword."

……

[TE·"Seal with Me" perfect clearance progress: -96%]

……

"Ding dong!"

[The death of "Changge" has been detected, and the body has dissipated. You can no longer return to your original body. 】

[It is detected that you have "Akto's White Cat Puppet". Do you want to temporarily enter "Akto's White Cat Puppet"? (Please note that before the copy is settled, if you do not return to the player body in time, you will be alienated into an NPC and taken back)]

……

"Yes."

Goodbye.

Little Su.

……

In people’s sight, the pure white god fell downward.

In a new era, the day when the gods disappeared was recorded as the "Genesis".

Heaven and earth unite, the sun and the moon shine together.

The colorful era is like a free-flying bird, flying through the wind and waves, heading towards a distant trajectory - hundreds of years, thousands of years... endlessly.

The white tentacles were broken and floating in the air, like the last heavy snow of the old century.

Wash away the dust and bring in new life.

Lu Shu stretched out his hand and caught a piece of white tentacle.

He held it solemnly, as if holding a piece of melting snow.

Beside him, the people from the ancient martial arts families had already dropped their weapons and were crying with joy. A group of older people were crying like a group of children.

“…We did it. We did it.”

Mo Yan sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks. He stared blankly at the black fog on the front line receding. His arms and legs were covered with erosion wounds, and he grimaced in pain, but he still laughed.

"——Big brother is invincible! Big brother is the strongest!!!"

Far away on the seashore, when they learned of their victory, the soldiers who had been fighting the black fog for a long time simply used the sky as a roof and the ground as a shelter and fell asleep. Only Ichiwa Street in Yamada-cho was still looking at the "falling snow" in the sky.

Behind them were players such as Eli, Qiuqiu, and Rimusheng, who were covered in blood.

The setting sun all over the mountains shone on their faces, and the vast white snow looked like the broken wings of an angel. They looked at the scene of "God's Fall" in silence, as if deprived of words. No one spoke until the clearance prompt sounded.

"Su Mingan... succeeded." Yamada Machi said.

Lu patted his shoulder: "It should be said that... we succeeded."

"Yes."

"It's not easy..." A group of people threw away their weapons and collapsed on the ground.

They had never understood this sentence so deeply.

——Human life span is just a moment in the universe, but this moment requires countless miracles of coincidence to make up.

People in the olden days performed miracles.

They finally moved towards a new future.

"Then..." Higurashi wiped the blood off his face and looked up.

"Where's Su Mingan?"

The gods are gone.

Where did their "number one player" go?
……

[TE·"Seal with Me" perfect clearance progress: -98%]

……

February 828, 1, old day.

Renamed "January 1, Year 1 of the New Century".

From this day on,

After a long, depressing winter, the world finally ushered in the new spring.

No nightingales are trapped in steel forests anymore, and sheep no longer die in rain.

The puppet strings that shackled this world were torn apart by the mighty wind.

The palace walls of the past are no longer there, but perhaps we can still see kites flying high in the sky.

The pioneers have fulfilled their thousand-year wish, ended this endless cycle, and crossed over to the other side of life - allowing everyone to move towards tomorrow.

Looking at the broken white tentacles in the sky, people stood on the ground, seemingly still in shock.

What can they do next?
You can laugh, cry, sing, paint. It doesn't matter. The ark has reached the other side, with the birds flying by, and you can find the light.

Then, sporadic cheers gradually sounded. Gradually, it was like a raging fire... It spread all over the land. They shouted the names of the heroes, most of them were different, and even a little chaotic.

“Can I draw now?”

"It's really all right now... I can really see the stars..."

"I miss the songs of the old times. I want to put back the xylophone that was destroyed by the Holy Alliance..."

"Mom, let's go fly kites and eat candied haws..."

Outside the palace wall, a young boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was holding his mother's hand and looking at the palace wall curiously.

"Mother, what is inside the palace walls?" he asked.

“Shao Qing, there is a very tall tower, an empty Imperial Master’s Pavilion, and the majestic Queen…” His mother answered in a low voice and took him to fly a kite.

The orange-red sunlight filled the mountains and rivers. The world was so vast - just like their future. They would stride forward and run as hard as they could... They would eventually reach the finish line.

The young man ran and ran, rolled on the grass, and laughed in the sun. For some reason, when he passed by the pond, he picked a white lotus, stared at it for a long time, and then gently held it in his arms.

For some reason, my nose felt sore and my eyes were red.

"Why are you crying? You are so grown up and still crying. Come on, mother will take you to eat Yuanxiao..." The figures, one big and one small, were stretched out in the sunlight.

The past is dark and untraceable, and the future is bright.

The black fog has dissipated.

The light finally came in.

……

In "The Old World: Genesis", on the day when the gods fell, the following record was written:
[The day the ideal country was launched, the gods fell. 】

【The spirit completed the final step.】

[The essence of the ideal country is not just to set up a barrier, which cannot expel the original pollution. Its essence is to "superimpose" a pollution-free world on the basis of the original world. 】

[As the deity raised his hands, people felt a faint sense of being lifted up.]

[They knew that they were about to enter a new era.]

[After everything was over, people boarded the Utopia, a world above the sky, where they no longer had to worry about invasions from higher dimensions.]

[The name "Old World" is no longer applicable. Since they have ascended into the sky, they have given their civilization a new name - "Sky World" or "Sky Sphere".]

[As for the part that remained on the ground. Due to the barrier of the ideal country, people could not go back, nor did they want to go back, so they could only leave it abandoned. Since there was no human habitation, the ground gradually returned to the original state of the planet. ]

[People named it——"The World on the Ground", or...]

……

【"Earth".】

……

【Ten thousand years later, a new human civilization evolved on "Earth".】

【Since the overlapping shadows had long gone, the black fog had also disappeared. Under the barrier of the ideal country, the "Earthlings" did not know that there was a "Sky World" above their heads.】

[During the long evolution, the "Atlantic Empire" and "Praia" appeared in the "Earth" civilization, and people gradually discovered a city in the sky - "Cloud City". ]

[They could not have imagined that the reason why "Cloud City" became an empty city was because all the people in the "Holy City" had ascended to the "Sky World", leaving only pollution.]

[Once upon a time, the angel of judgment, Chao Yan, slept in the sea. Her strong breath of life aroused the creatures on the seabed, causing some of them to mutate...]

[The Immortal Sea Siren is born. 】

[Once upon a time, the goddess Alice carried a bright red python and locked herself in the Netherworld. When the "Earthlings" were sailing, they accidentally discovered the abandoned Netherworld for ten thousand years...]

[Some of the crew members who returned from Jiuyou showed similar bloodthirsty and frenzied symptoms as when Alice went crazy. After humans could no longer tolerate them, they formed their own tribe, called the "Soul Tribe."]

【The only way to quickly distinguish "humans" from "souls" is something called "Stone of At". According to the books unearthed by archaeologists, it is said that this "Stone of At" was broken into pieces from a divine object called "Prophecy Stone Wall" in ancient times, and it could predict everything ten thousand years ago. However, this is all unofficial history that cannot be verified. 】

[It is very strange that some people always dream about "heroes", "demon kings", "slimes" and the like. These images are obviously very unfamiliar.]

[Some people speculate that this is the God of Yunshang City granting beautiful dreams to all living beings. However, some people say that they will also dream of a girl who calls herself "Miss Demon King". She said that she is a ghost of the Internet ten thousand years ago. Before she died, she printed herself on the Internet. She wants to create an Internet world without cyber violence and strive to make everyone happy. ]

[But people just laughed it off. How could the Internet have existed for 10,000 years?]

[Occasionally, they would dig up some traces left over from thousands of years ago. Because the time was so long ago, most of the books and buildings had weathered away, leaving only some materials buried deep underground, vaguely recording stories from thousands of years ago.]

[After research by archaeologists, some stories from thousands of years ago were discovered, and people began to yearn for the legends from thousands of years ago——]

[Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, there was a god and all humans were his angels.]

[The gods and angels built an ark together, crossing a thousand years, reaching the other side, and letting the entire civilization fly into the sky——]

[That day, the era ended, the gods fell, and all living beings died. ]

【All living beings ascend to the ideal country and go to the unknown world. 】

[It was a miraculous sight that shook the entire civilization.]

[It is precisely because these ancestors drove out the higher-dimensional beings that the world is so peaceful and did not perish ten thousand years ago. They have achieved their contemporary happy life, which will continue endlessly——]

[Spring has arrived. Children are playing in the sun, singing songs, and using paint to sketch their imaginary lives thousands of years ago——]

【Gods, angels, Jiuyou, papyrus. 】

[Kind gods, wise angels, thousands of flying figures, a romantic and colorful ideal city. ]

[That's true,]

[A longed-for myth...]

……

[Later, a young lady with long red hair accidentally heard these stories from thousands of years ago. She was full of curiosity about Yunshang City, where gods might exist. So when faced with the family's mission, she decisively agreed.]

[After boarding the "At" ship, she dressed up and smiled at the black-haired, golden-eyed young man at the dining table.]

[“Rin, have you heard of the story from ten thousand years ago? It’s an archaeological discovery from a distant country, and not many people seem to know about it. Can I tell you about it?” she said expectantly.]

[“I’m not interested, so don’t tell me.” The young man said calmly.]

【"You, why are you always so cold? Aren't we friends?" She pursed her lips. 】

[“You’d better leave this ship immediately.” said the young man.]

【“You, you’re driving me away!?” Her eyes widened. 】

[“Yes, stay away from me.” The young man said calmly.]

[Anger surged up, she thought of the infatuated lady character she had created, and her face flushed as she shouted:]

[“Okay! Okay! Su Lin—I’m telling you, I won’t be stupid anymore, and I won’t love you anymore—there will never be another woman in this world who will love you to the point of tearing her heart apart!”]

[For a second, she felt that the other person's eyes seemed to be unfamiliar for a moment, but she didn't care.]

[…Humph, I just wanted to discuss with you what the “gods” were like ten thousand years ago, but you’re so cold.]

[The red-haired lady thought about it and left with her bag. ]

[What she didn't expect was that the "god from ten thousand years ago" that she had been curious about for a long time... had now become a young man with black hair and golden eyes, sitting behind her.]

[However, for the gods, this future of "ten thousand years later" is their personal "past". Even if the red-haired lady asks him, he will be confused. ]

[He in the "future" once saved the "present" in the "past". 】

If he could have known the things of the old days and many things of the future,

[Perhaps her tragedy, and the tragedy of many people, would not have happened...]

【The earth continues to rotate as usual.】

[No one can see the "Sky World" in the sky, which is like the guardian of life, silently protecting their civilization until...]

[One day, the world game came to Earth. 】

[The historical record ends here.]

……

[TE·"Seal with Me" perfect clearance progress: -100%]

……

"Ding dong!"

【Congratulations on completing the game perfectly! 】

[Achieve a perfect clearance route: (TE) Seal with Me]

[Line rating: SSS (perfect!)]

【（TE·Seal with me）：】

['I shall die again and again to know that life is inexhaustible.' I will die again and again to make sure that life is endless. ]

[I will be resurrected again and again to make sure that the cycle of time continues. ]

[——If it is not a death rollback, then how do you explain that millions of "me" can always wake up from my corpse again and again? ]

[You say they are not "me", but why do they have the same ideals, nobility and innocence as me? ]

[You said they are "me", but why do they have different voices, appearances and identities from me? ]

[Billions of times, "I" woke up from the cold corpse, and thousands of lights were lit. 】

【The saints of the past will be passed down for thousands of years, and no one can surpass them in the next generation. 】

[“Observation” is to see the cause and effect, “time” is to determine the millennium. Authority is the eye, building a world of possibilities; time is the rope, making the game life; soul ferry is the soul, sleeping in the underworld and waiting for dawn. ]

【“I” thought it was enough. 】

[——Why are all living beings in misery, ideals fading, and bones piling up in an indescribable state?]

[——Why can't history be seen, why can't the ark be resisted, and why do we usually use weakness to exchange for peace? ]

[——Why can’t nightingales sing, why can’t paintings be painted, why can’t thousands of sails compete in the Dead Sea? ]

[——Why do fireflies fly into fire, butterflies break their wings, and the Tower of Babel cannot be demolished for a thousand years? ]

[I, the "I" of Wandao, will use bones as firewood and flesh and blood as ink to outline the epic of the years for thousands of years and give it the name "idealism".]

[There is no need to be a firewood carrier, no need to be a path clearer. Ignite my flesh and blood to be firewood, and remove my bones to be thorns. ]

[——Give all living beings ideals, and give dead bones souls.]

[——Promise the years to history, the other shore to the Ark, the singing voice to the nightingale, and humility to Babel.]

[Until I die again and again,]

【——With the confidence that “I” is countless, one after another, endless.】

【If you ask me my name? 】

【Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li...】

[No, that’s not necessary.]

【Maybe,】

【…】

【——"Dawn" is enough. 】

……

[The ending has been included and will be included in the final evaluation. 】
