Chapter 1314: One Thousand Three Hundred and Nine·"Noel had a dream."

Noel had a dream.

In his dream, he felt that he was flying high in the sky. The world was so big that he could go anywhere.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, he is like a free bird, completely free from the shackles of the earth. The endless distance and the endless journey are waiting for him like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

He flew from day to dusk, and from dusk to night... After a long flight, he finally approached the universe of his dreams. Countless landscapes were in front of him, filled with the breath of freedom...

A French fry suddenly appeared in front of him.

Noel: “?”

He tilted his head and ruffled the feathers on his shoulders.

The French fries were golden and crispy, glowing with an alluring glow, and bent towards him:
"It's time to wake up from the dream, adventurer imprisoned on the earth."

"The only thing you can do is get some chips at the dock."

……

Noel woke up in shock.

It was dark in front of him, and a black silhouette appeared in front of him, holding a bag of French fries in his hand. The sound of "crunching" was endless, and the taste was burnt.

"Who are you? Why did you invade my dream?" Noel asked calmly. He realized that he was still dreaming.

"Lord of the End of All Things." The silhouette said lightly.

"It turns out that the hobby of the Lord of the End of All Things is to eat French fries in other people's dreams," said Noel.

“…” The Lord of the End of All Things did not see how he ate the fries, and the fries disappeared little by little in his hands: “I am here to make a deal with you.”

"Oh?" Noel raised his eyebrows: "Tell me."

"I have always informed all 300 million adventure players of their opportunities with a charity attitude, but with you and another player, my attitude is an equal transaction."

"Then I should thank you for your respect?" Noel said with a smile.

“…Didn’t you notice something was wrong?” said the Lord of the End of All Things.

"uh-huh?"

"…Why are you dreaming at this time?"

Noel's expression did not fluctuate when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, at this point in time, I should be playing the third level of the Disciple Game, but I ended up dreaming... It was you who did it, right? The 'Noel' who is playing the Disciple Game is not me."

The next moment, a bag of French fries appeared in his palm.

Since this is his dream, whatever he fantasizes about will appear.

He raised his arm—

Blue sky, sea and Ferris wheel.

Leaves, roses, seesaw.

A swing appeared behind him, and he sat on it, holding the rope with one hand and pinching French fries with the other. The carousel flowed with music and colorful lights, shining on the black silhouette of the Lord of the End of All Things.

This was the first person that the Lord of the End of All Things had met after he had visited hundreds of millions of dreams. Facing His arrival, Noel was not horrified, ecstatic, or angry, but instead changed his dream to a more beautiful one, as if entertaining a guest.

Every word of the Lord of the End of All Things hits the mark: "You have wisdom, vision, and ability far beyond that of ordinary humans. You shouldn't be like most people, growing old, getting sick, and dying in Zhaixing."

"You're right." Noel ate French fries: "So I chose to go to the universe to get some French fries."

“So I give you this bridge.”

Noel uttered a cry of "Hmm!", his face showing no joy, but curiosity: "Lord of All Things, you are not a shadow in disguise, are you? Did He finally burn Himself out and come here to lure me over?"

"Don't compare me to that down-and-out fellow."

"That's right... He is the tenth big boss, and you are the eleventh big boss. In terms of order, you are indeed a little bit stronger than him. So, who are you a combination of? Lu Shu... uh. Yueyue? Su Lin?"

Although Nor's words looked down on the other party, he knew in his heart that the tenth and eleventh were not simply "plus one". The eleventh was much larger than the tenth, and it directly hit the final origin.

The Lord of the End of All Things walked in front of him, and under the colorful light, both of them were stained with a layer of warm glow.

"then."

A red blade appeared in Noel's hand, like a red hard tentacle.

Noel caught it, weighed it, and found it felt very good.

The Lord of the End of All Things said: "This thing is called the 'IP Modification Blade'."

Noel complained: "What a direct name."

The Lord of the End of All Things said calmly: "When the narrative anchor deviates, the tide of time becomes chaotic. Even the world game cannot guarantee 100% control over the players. Especially when the red sun descends, Luowasha will fall into a violent chaos. Those who are stabbed by the sharp blade will have their game IP temporarily blocked. At that time, he can take their place."

A thought flashed across Noel's eyes. He lowered his head and touched the beautiful blade, and colorful light fell into his blue eyes.

Game IP...I see.

The Lord of the End of All Things used this logical basis to cause many players to have their accounts hacked. Even Su Mingan was almost successfully hacked by Si Que.

"The potential after the dimensional upgrade is likely to depend on authority. Whoever has the strongest authority can become a powerful high-dimensional one." The Lord of the End of All Things approached: "If you want to create a pure white new world and become a cosmic adventurer who is more powerful and free than the Overlay... With your intelligence, you know how to do it."

"You should be able to see that I didn't lie to you. If you have any doubts, you can take this knife and ask someone else to do the experiment."

"The path is laid out in front of you. It's a win-win situation."

"You are not someone's appendage, and no one controls you. You have only stayed with him because you wanted to embrace a new world. But now, the answer is right in front of you, and you are not someone who would give up your ideals because of emotions."

"You walked together for a while, but you had to separate in the end. He was a man who loved the land, and you were a bird that belonged to the sky."

"If you don't seize this opportunity to upgrade... when he upgrades in Luowasha and overturns the chessboard, you may hardly have another chance."

"It's time for our destined separation."

"You are not anyone's foil, you can also be the [protagonist], Noel."

Click, click.

The golden and crispy French fries were eaten and kingfishers were singing in the sky.

Noel stroked the blade, threw it up gently, and caught it.

"...Really?" His voice was very soft, but his tone was not as high as before: "...Is this the end of the road?"

The feeling of going in the opposite direction became stronger and stronger.

Noel lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes casting shadows on the blue ocean, and it was impossible to tell what decision he had made.

With a "click", the bag of chips fell to the ground. He attached the red blade to the rose cane, replacing the previous blade.

He tossed the rose cane, which felt good in his hand, and was very suitable for piercing other people's hearts. In the past, this cane had pierced Su Ming'an's heart more than once. Although Noel had never seen such a scene, he could imagine the farewells buried in the abandoned timeline.

Most of the time, it is the blond boy who bids farewell to the time traveler. The river flows under their feet, flowing to the endless distance. The blond boy will smile and take off his hat to show respect to the time traveler. The time traveler looks calm, not afraid of the fatal pain, and calmly walks towards the next better journey.

Now, the boy stood on the shore, his eyes no longer directed towards the river, but looked up at the starry sky.

The traveler stood behind the boy, looking in a completely different direction from him.

One of them looked at the hot earth, and the other looked at the sky.

One is lingering at your feet, the other is wandering in the sky.

Noel suddenly recalled the memory of the overlapping shadows he saw that day. A guy with a similar face to him was floating outside the world barrier, pounding the barrier frantically, screaming, asking humans not to hurt Ak-To, but no matter how powerful he was, he was powerless and could only watch Ak-To and Lin Guang die.

Since you have chosen to go far away, even if you die, your body will be separated by an unbreakable barrier.

"..."

"Click." After tightening the blade, when Noel raised his head, the Lord of the End of All Things was gone.

In the amusement park, there are only warm colorful lights and joyful music.

The swing swayed, the breeze ruffled his golden hair, and the sky in his eyes was so blue.

Noel picked up the bag of French fries on the ground. There was a short French fry in it, golden and crispy.

—Going to the dock for some chips? Free adventurer.

With a "crunch", he bit down.

The French fries are crispy and make a crunching sound in the mouth, as if the whole body is resonating with them.

It was as if I could hear the rumbling echo of fate in my chest.

……

The Palace of the Lord.

The Lord of the World took Su Ming'an and walked out.

"There are two main believers of the God of Annihilation, Clemens. The first is the Harvesters, a group of people who are keen on collecting beautiful eyeballs and internal organs. The second is the Tower of Babel, they believe that the higher the tower is built, the better they can hear the voice of the sky. Only these two channels can contact the God of Annihilation." The Lord of the World said lightly.

"Then which one should we choose?" Su Mingan asked.

"The second one." The Lord of the World glanced at Su Mingan's eyes and said, "Your eyeballs and internal organs are too attractive. The [Harvester] is too dangerous. I will take you to the [Tower of Babel]."

"...Can I take this as a compliment?"

They stepped into the portal and came to a tower that reached the sky. The tower was like a white sword, rising high into the clouds.

Su Mingan thought of some of the pilgrimage sites he had seen on TV, where he had to kowtow every step of the way. Could this also be...

"No." The Lord of the World saw his thoughts and took him to the side of the building. With a "ding" sound, an iron door opened, and inside were buttons for each floor. The Lord of the World pressed the button for floor 999F, and Shi Ran walked in, his purple hair fluttering: "Let's take the elevator."

...keep up with the times!

Su Mingan followed him in, and the sightseeing elevator began to ascend. Through the fully transparent glass, the morning sun was setting in the distance, and the wheat forests in the fields were like a solidified sun shower, as if the whole earth was waking up.

100st floor, 200nd floor, 300rd floor...

The sunlight wrapped the elevator like orange-red solidified honey, and the sticky honey slid down the shell. At this moment, the voice of the Lord of the World suddenly came:

"…If I attack you here, can you escape?"

This sudden voice disturbed Su Mingan who was enjoying the scenery.

"Stop joking." Su Mingan said.

The Lord laughed. He was cruel and erratic, but at this moment he revealed a bit of defenseless calmness.

Perhaps he had been planning this for a long time, he said slowly:

"When I was born in Luowasha, I appeared out of thin air in this world just like Li Mingyue. But unlike Li Mingyue, I have no memories and don't know who I was in the past."

"It was under the moonlight, and I looked at my appearance on the lake surface - purple hair, golden eyes. Although this face was beautiful, I always felt repulsive, so I put on a mask."

"Afterwards, for a long time, I was a mediocre person. I was exploited by my superiors, bullied by higher races, and crushed by life, until I accidentally picked up a piece of 'Twelve Stories'. I used it as bait to trick several higher races into killing each other."

"I was attacked from both inside and outside, but I won. I inherited all the fruits of victory and changed from being the victim to the perpetrator."

"A man who had nothing has come to where he is today. I admit that many of the means used were not honorable - I just wanted power because I have seen too many tragedies of people without power."

"And your existence can help me have everything."

Su Mingan stared at the gradually rising sunlight.

The Lord was so smart that he could tell at a glance that Su Mingan was disgusted by his tyranny, so he simply told him everything. After hearing these secrets, even if Su Mingan wanted to get off the pirate ship, he had to think twice.

"We are allies. I need your strength and you need my presence. That's enough." Su Mingan said lightly.

The Lord smiled.

He was rooted in the barren soil, with nothing, and any hardship could easily befall him. But now, he has been fighting against his enemies, with scars all over his body, and finally fell into the protagonist's sight.

"What do you ultimately want?" Su Mingan said.

The Lord looked into the distance.

The morning light stained his silver mask, and the mask seemed to exude a bloody smell.

"——I want to get all the books collected by the World Tree." said the Lord of the World.

Su Mingan raised his eyelids. Could it be those "The Domineering Jellyfish Ate Me", "My Rebirth and the World Tree Have a Happy Ending", "All Bosses Are My Slices"?

"When you go to kill the World Tree, remember to help me find those books." said the World Lord.

"What's the use of those books?" Su Mingan said.

"I guess whoever obtains those books will be the new world tree," said the Lord of the World.

With a "ding" sound, the 999th floor arrived.
