Chapter 1352 Chapter · "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood."

Shenming An took a step forward.

This step caused the sword in Su Mingan's hand to pierce directly into His chest.

Golden blood spilled out, and He continued to move forward, one step at a time.

Su Ming'an could feel the feedback of the sword blade piercing his flesh and blood, piercing his skin, bones, and spine, and warm blood soaked Su Ming'an's hands.

"…Is this enough?" The god An stopped. The sword completely pierced through him, but he remained expressionless.

"Enough for what?" Su Mingan said.

"Enough for you to vent your anger." Shen Ming An lowered his head: "You are angry, which is not conducive to our good conversation."

Su Ming'an's title is "God Killer", and the sword of Alman has noble true damage, so it can cause damage to God. But God Ming'an seemed to have swallowed all the pain, with no expression on his face.

Perhaps it is because he has suffered too much pain as a human being, so when he becomes a god, he has a strong resistance to pain.

"You are indeed not me. I don't believe that after I become a god, I will crush my teammates like sugar cubes." Su Mingan said.

"Are you afraid of me?" Shenming An looked at him with his golden eyes.

"I'm afraid of you." Su Mingan replied.

He was afraid of this monster called "God", and also afraid of such a future. He was afraid that he might have to become like this for some reason. Think about how Noel used to be so capable, but now he is so miserable after becoming a shadow.

Shenming An said: "I will tell you everything, just close your eyes."

Su Mingan still stared at Him, even extremely rebellious, his eyes bigger than copper bells.

Seeing this, Shenming An showed a confused expression: "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Su Mingan: “…”

Shenming An said: "Don't you want to know why I became like this? Close your eyes and I will show you my memory."

Su Ming'an didn't expect Shen Ming'an to be so calm and actually show him his memories directly.

As expected of the god An, there is no riddle at all. If it were a certain god, he would probably put fifty paintings in the corridor, say some specious words, and let him guess the answer slowly.

"Okay." Su Ming'an closed his eyes. If Shen Ming'an wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago. There was no need to trick him into closing his eyes.

"I have the memories of three people, the Supreme Lord, the Lord of the End of All Things and me." The god An said: "I want to play a game with you. I will ask you some questions. If you answer a question correctly, I will give you a memory."

Su Ming'an suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the smile on Shen Ming'an's face.

After a moment, Su Mingan closed his eyes again.

"go ahead."

……

"First question, what is Su Mingan's final outcome?"

"A. He lost the bet and saved Zhai Xing. According to the bet, he was taken away and eaten by the organizers. He died."

"B. won the bet, and ascended to a higher dimension to save the fallen Zhai Xing. In the end, he was taken away and eaten, and died."

"C. saved Zhai Xing, but was forgotten by everyone. He was wandering alone in the universe, unable to return home forever, and no one knew of his existence."

"D. Failed to save Zhai Xing. All his companions died. He became a tombstone of civilization alone. In the end, he could not stand the loneliness and chose eternal death."

"E. saved Zhai Xing, but he was the only one alive, searching endlessly for a way to redeem his companions, forever."

"F. saved Zhai Xing and ascended to a higher dimension with some of his companions. He always watched over Zhai Xing from outside the barrier of civilization, watching his former companions gradually turn into graves."

"G. saved Zhai Xing and returned to his hometown with his companions. But he lost all his abilities and became a mental patient."

"H. saved Zhai Xing, all his companions are alive, and he can return home at any time."

"please choose."

……

……What is the problem?
…The future hasn’t happened yet, so there’s certainly no correct answer to this question.

Whether the answer is correct or not probably depends entirely on the mood of the god An.

The sweet aroma of black tea became stronger and stronger. With his eyes closed, Su Mingan could hear the sound of sipping, the swaying of branches and leaves, the turning of pages, the sound of wind, and the sound of blood...

The wetness on his chest became apparent, and Noel's head had finally run dry of blood.

A gust of wind blew, and white hair swept across Su Mingan's forehead.

Amid the sound of the wind, Su Mingan spoke slowly:
"Except for D and E, I can accept all the others."

At this moment, he saw the explosive comments.

He hadn't paid attention to the barrage for a long time, but since the arrival of the red sun, the barrage has exploded.

Fear is the most common response, but as the number of deaths increases, the comments become more and more intense.

As he was always paying attention to Noel's head, Su Mingan didn't look closely at the barrage. But at this moment, with his eyes closed, the barrage in the upper right corner was very clear.

[What bet? ? How come I've never heard of it? ]

[Why do we have to share the spoils whether we win or lose? 】

[Su Mingan, you smell so good. ]

[For those who are making fun of this, the household registration books of the whole family are empty. 】

[I just came back from writing my suicide note. My eyes are swollen from crying. I am ready to die. Does the number one player have a backup plan? ]

[It seems that even if we lose, the first player can still be the bottom line? I understand the meaning of this bet. ]

[——He made such a bet! ? ? ?]

[When? Why didn’t you tell us? Did the United Group know? ? ]

[The other options are actually acceptable? I fainted at the first glance. ]

【well……】

[Su Mingan, why...]

[Ang, I don't want you to leave. It doesn't matter if you ignore us. At least you can still be alive with D and E, but there's nothing left of A and B... Can you accept this? ]

[This was originally the bet he proposed, so of course he accepted it...]

[Although I really want to say this, but when I think of my mom, my dad, my sister... I can't say "Su Ming'an, we don't need you to save us anymore."]

【Zhai Xing's Asa Akto. 】

[Although I had already prepared myself mentally after watching Akto and Su Wensheng, I was still shocked when the real hammer came.]

【Mizushima Kawana came out to apologize. 】

[The ones who should apologize the most are those who always make sarcastic remarks and sing the opposite tune. ]

[Don't tell me, even if some people saw this scene, they would still say that Su Mingan and the organizers were in cahoots. Do you believe it? ]

[Can we kill all those idiots and let Su Mingan live? ]

[The world doesn't need a living savior. Just look at the ending of Aktor. If it is really the G ending, and the savior loses all his abilities, what do you think will be his fate? ]

[——Can’t there be a happy ending!? ?]

[Reality is not a fairy tale. We can only accept whatever the outcome is.]

[It’s actually coming to an end… I thought it would take another half a year. ]

[Su Mingan, please don't die! If you die, who will come to sweep Lu Shu's grave? They won't be able to wait for you.]

[The forum exploded, and the streets were full of people.]

【Is this the last carnival? 】

【It is the last suicide note.】

……

"..." The god An lowered his eyelids, and the fragments of red sunlight that fell through the gaps between the branches and leaves sprinkled on his forehead, with a somewhat compassionate expression.

Su Ming'an didn't expect that Shen Ming'an would take the opportunity to point out the bet and let everyone know.

"You should have let people know long ago. Why did you hide it?" Shen Ming An said, "People should know what price the first player paid. Do you want to leave quietly? Do you want to be forgotten by everyone?"

Su Mingan: "...I don't want to."

He was also afraid of being forgotten.

The bet was kept secret just to prevent my teammates from acting impulsively.

He didn't care how chaotic the Lord God's world was at the moment, nor did he care whether people were sad or shocked.

Does he really love them? Not necessarily. Who would love a stranger? He only loves the "world", the people he already knows and will know in the future. When he was backstabbed by his classmates in high school, he occasionally felt that "besides Yueyue, there is no one worth making friends with in this world", but this was only because he had not yet met Lu Shu, Nuoer and others.

Those people whom he has never met but are worthy of his life, make it impossible for him to turn a blind eye and save them.

"Did I get it right?" Su Ming'an asked.

"There is no correct answer to this question." Shenming An looked at him: "Because these endings may all belong to you."

"I am not you, others are not you, only you are you."

"Your future is limitless, Su Mingan."

"Your future... is waiting for you to create it yourself."

Su Ming'an felt a slight touch on his forehead, and Shen Ming'an's hand came closer.

"This is the memory lens of the Lord of the End of All Things. Take a look." Shen Ming An said, "After you have finished reading it, I will ask you the second question."

A memory flowed into Su Mingan's mind, and his vision began to change -

……

"[Countless roads diverged in the yellow wood,]"

"[You stood at that intersection for a long time.]"

"【——You know you can’t explore so many paths at the same time】."

“You know you took the path less traveled by.”

"You know this road has no end."

"You know it might be hard for you to come back."

"【You know, there's no chance of 'see you another day'】."

"[You can't look back on the past with a sigh.]"

"You know..."

……

"【--I know.】"

……

The Lord of the End of All Things is reading a book.

A book called Magpie Olivers.

What attracted him was that the story had several labels including "gender change, battle of wits, genius, return of the strong, revival of spiritual energy, end of the world, academic master, M", which he found very interesting.

As for the reason for reading, it is because the god An and the Supreme Lord are reading, and if the Lord of the End of All Things does not read, he will appear to be out of date.

They are simply three followers.

The book Shenming An read was "Global Travel: The Evolution of the Infinite World Tree Starting from the Grounded Prince" in order to find emotions.

The book that the Supreme Lord read was "Ready Player One (Su Ming'an)", in order to find a space-time recorder that could slow down the increase of entropy.

The Lord of the End of All Things was reading "Sique Olivers". He was purely interested in Sique as a person.

The Lord of the End of All Things is not life, nor is He a higher dimension - He is a cosmic rule.

Rules are absolute, scientific and fixed.

If anyone breaks the rules, they will be destroyed. Just like "if a person is killed, he will die" and "if someone drowns, he will suffocate." There are also many rules in the universe, such as "the law of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another.", "the law of black holes: once any matter crosses the boundary of a black hole, it cannot escape." and so on.

So rules have no life and no thoughts. They exist everywhere and are an invisible and intangible concept.

But the Lord of the End of All Things is an exception. At some point, as a rule of the universe, He developed self-awareness, like a Pandora's box with its own thoughts.

At first, He looked at everything impartially and lonely, without mercy, compassion, or hesitation. He destroyed anyone who violated the rules He represented.

The rule he represents is that if the entropy increase rate of a civilization exceeds 500 gallons per year, it will be destroyed.

"500 gallons per year" is a measurement standard. The exact amount cannot be expressed, but the Lord of the End of All Things knows it well. This is an average value. If anyone exceeds this limit, it means that this civilization will accelerate the overall entropy increase rate of the universe, which is harmful.

For the sake of the universe's longer life, this civilization needs to be destroyed, just like removing a rotten mulberry from the broth.

The reason for exceeding this speed is basically because the civilization has developed too chaotically and disorderly, so the rate of entropy increase is extremely fast.

The Lord of the End of All Things gives them destruction equally.

All things come to an end.

He does not listen to the cries of living beings, nor does he care about their sorrow and death.

It is not about destroying the planet, but about making all life disappear, returning the planet to its original form, and starting over from the first microorganism.

The first, the second, the third... Everything has been going smoothly for the Lord of the End of All Things.

Until the 3030th civilization, he capsized in the ditch.

In three cases, He cannot destroy a civilization: 1. This civilization has a solid civilization barrier, and He cannot directly destroy it: such as the ideal country of the old world, the Dawn system of the ruined world. 2. This civilization is protected by another rule: such as a civilization that is playing the world game, which cannot be destroyed midway before the end of the one-year period. 3. This civilization has very powerful high-dimensional life that can prevent His destruction.

Smart people will avoid these three situations. These are hard persimmons. Whoever dares to bite them will end up in a miserable situation. Winning is commendable, but losing may make you lose everything.

However, the 3030th civilization that the Lord of the End of All Things contacted did not belong to any of these three situations, yet He failed.

——This civilization is called "Rovasha".

This civilization is extremely chaotic and disordered, with interstellar, western fantasy, fairy tales, and cyberpunk. Various worldviews are gathered in the same civilization, developing barbarically without restraint, seriously exceeding the speed limit of entropy increase.

Although Luo Vasa has a high status and has high-dimensional creatures, they don't care whether the planet returns to its original state or not, and have no intention of stopping the Lord of the End of All Things, so the Lord of the End of All Things took action.

He sent down the red sun of destruction.
