Chapter 1431 Chapter · "Extra" · "Sunny Day in H City (Part )"

"...Look, that's our old high school, there are still so many people there."

Under the bright blue sky, the two of them paced and looked at the people coming and going.

When the bell rang, students rushed to the classroom like a beehive. The teacher on his electric scooter put on a helmet and sped along the tree-lined avenue.

Su Ming'an looked up at the green sycamore tree. He should have felt calm and peaceful, but at that moment he thought of a boy holding a ginger cat, a lake under the moonlight, ruins gleaming red, and an icy white snowfield.

There's no going back.

No matter how peaceful the daily scene is, I can't help but think of the past. When I see ginkgo, I think of Asa; when I see tea, I think of Lin Guang; when I see pie, I think of Alice...

Yueyue leaned forward, her hands behind her back. Even though she had lived more than 400 million years, she looked like she had been washed clean of all the dross and had no trace of old age. She looked just like she was at the beginning.

"...What is the essence of such a dream?" Su Mingan suddenly said.

"This is not a meaningless dream, you can call it the 'dream of the black goat'." Yueyue pulled him and walked into the campus as if no one was around. With a flick of her fingertips, two teacher certificates appeared. The security guard saw them and let them in without any doubt.

They walked into the campus like a pair of students taking a walk during physical education class.

"'The Second Seat: The Shepherd of the World's Glory and Time', the ability is creation." Yueyue said softly:

"'Sixth Seat: Inorganic God', the ability is to devour."

"'The Seventh Seat, Lord of Eternity', the ability is memory."

"And as the twelfth seat, I also have my own title."

"——'Twelfth Seat: Dream Envoy'. Dreams are my ability."

"This ability originally came from my precognitive dreams. At first, it was just a fragmented memory that had no effect. I began to realize that with my wisdom and acuity, it would be very difficult to become a higher dimension. So, I tried to start with dreams and use them as my power system."

"Fortunately, I'm very good at this. After all, Boss Rabbit invited me because of my extremely high spirituality."

"About... starting from the sixth millionth reincarnation, I agreed to become an observer. From that time on, I began to gradually accumulate some things belonging to the higher dimensional level."

Suddenly, Su Mingan thought of a white hamster, which piled up dried fruits in its nest little by little. The nest was knocked over again and again, but the hamster never gave up and climbed out again and again, trying hard to move the dried fruits back.

"Dreams are so mysterious. Most of the time, I only have a few fragmented memories." Yueyue said:

"I am weak, my brain is not working properly, and I am an observer with only one life. If I am not careful, everything will end."

"But fortunately."

Yueyue raised her head, and the golden spots shone through the branches and hovered on her open fingertips.

"Fortunately, I have enough times."

"About 90 million times. That time, I was very lucky. I even had several precognitive dreams and remembered many reincarnations. That time, I finally succeeded in ascending to godhood."

"Although I am just an ordinary god, once I become a god, it means that 'Dream' has officially become my authority. In future reincarnations, I can slowly perfect it."

"Even if I only learn a little bit of high-dimensional information and improve my ability to dream a little bit each time I reincarnate, I am no longer standing still, but starting to move forward."

"-Finally, after more than 400 million times, my power of 'Dream' was strong enough. After reaching the peak of my status as an observer, I was invited by the organizer to become the twelfth seat."

"The twelfth seat, the Spiritual Dream Envoy."

"I have finally... reached the realm of higher dimensions."

Yueyue's narration was as light as a feather. Such a long time and so many hardships were passed over by her in just a few sentences.

They walked to the school's lake, where several white swans were spreading their wings, lotus leaves were swaying, and reeds were rippling.

The girl's black hair fluttered in the wind, and she gazed at the lotus pond, her voice soft and slow:

"After becoming a high-dimensional being, in order to continue to strengthen myself in the world game, I sealed my memories and abilities as a high-dimensional being, and continued to enter the reincarnation of the world game as a player."

"Every time I die, I will return to a higher-dimensional body. Then, I will seal myself again and enter the next reincarnation."

Su Mingan sighed softly.

Yueyue is in a similar situation to him, both seeking a glimmer of hope in the repetitive cycle of reincarnation.

He has a death rollback, but she only has broken dreams. He is not afraid of death, but she will end it if she is not careful.

"It turns out that I have never been an island." Su Mingan smiled and shook his head.

It turned out that he was no longer an island when he could no longer be seen.

Noel is gone, and so is Yueyue.

...There's nothing to be sad about.

"After becoming a high-dimensional being, what I have been doing is creating a [Dream of the Black Goat]." Yueyue raised her right hand. In her palm was a colorful bubble:

"I realized very early on that no matter how strong I am, I will not be able to protect the people of Zhaixing in the end. Unless I have a small space that can protect others."

"[Dream of the Black Goat] is what I have been creating. You can think of it as a replacement for [Small World] and [Garden of Eden]."

"At the moment when the Lord of the End of All Things destroyed everyone, I pulled everyone's consciousness into this dream."

Su Mingan looked around in surprise: "So, these passers-by are all real Zhaixing people?"

He thought it was all simulated by Yueyue, just like the dream that the gods had given him.

"Yes, they are real people." Yueyue smiled: "You can even find Lu Shu, Yamada Machiichi, Isabella and others."

"Moreover, I am the creator of dreams. I monitor and control dreams. Logically, Lu Shu would die of a terminal illness after returning to reality, and Yamada Machika Ichiya was taking pills to commit suicide, but I intervened and changed all of this, and now they are all living a normal life. Everyone's memory of the World Game has also been erased."

"I've always thought that I can't let you repeat the tragedy of Asa Akto."

She clasped her hands together gently and placed them on her lips as if sighing, her eyes bright:
“…Great, I finally did it.”

A simple sentence.

But it implies so much bitterness and pain.

Su Mingan's heart trembled. This was the problem that had troubled him for a long time. Unexpectedly, Yueyue had already solved it before him.

She always put him in a very important position.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke:
"So, what's the price?"

If it was really that good, then why did he and Si Que have to work so hard? Yueyue's "Dream of the Black Goat" directly solved all the problems.

Yueyue paused.

A look of regret appeared on her face, as if she had expected Su Mingan to ask such a question.

The colorful bubbles spun in the palm of the hand like a sugar cube on the verge of melting.

"Your bodies have been destroyed, and Luo Vasa has also been destroyed. This is an indisputable fact." Yueyue lowered her eyes:
"What I did was to pull all of your consciousness in at that critical moment."

"The downside of the 'dream' is that this is not the real world. You will never be able to leave this dream, and you will lose the possibility of advancement and going to the universe. But we are extremely weak humans, selfish, stupid, and fragile. We will be destroyed if we are not careful, so such a safe dream can be regarded as protecting us."

"The good thing about 'dreams' is that I am the creator of dreams. I change everything that is sad, and I endow everything with beauty."

At this moment, a few rays of golden sunlight fell on her eyebrows, and her familiar eyebrows and eyes seemed somewhat sacred:
“Many people in this world fall into misfortune because of some coincidental factors, such as illness, natural disasters, and poor decisions… But I can change these and make most people happy.”

"A child who should have broken his legs, I filled the ditch outside his house; an elderly person who should have died suddenly without anyone knowing, I made his cries for help heard by his neighbors; a family who should have been ruined by failed investments, I gave them basic food and clothing..."

"Here, as the master of dreams, I do my best to bring happiness to everyone. You can say that my intervention is a kind of unfreedom, but you can ask those who are supposed to be in misfortune - if I don't intervene, would they be willing?"

She clasped her hands together, and the small colorful bubble was protected in her palms like a treasure:

"At the beginning, my idea of ​​creating the Black Goat Dream was still immature, but over the long years, I gradually enriched, tested, and practiced my ideas. Just so that one day, I can protect you."

"I've been thinking, Ming'an, if one day, Lu Shu, Nuo'er, Lin Yin, Yamada... you, you all fall into failure and death, at least... at least I'll be there as a backup to catch you."

She stretched out her right hand, and her delicate white palm seemed to catch the sunlight under the swaying shadows of the trees:
"——Now, I have finally caught you from falling."

His hands suddenly clenched into fists, as if he had grasped something, and his dark eyes sparkled:

"Even though this doesn't sound perfect, it sounds like we are trapped in a self-entertaining dream."

"But for 99.9% of ordinary people in this world, are these important? All they want is to live a plain, healthy, risk-free life. What universe, what high dimension, those are what the protagonists of your world are chasing after. For them, it is not easy to survive. Even if I know that this world is not the original Zhaixing, but a dream I created, since the look and feel are exactly the same, why should I insist on the original earthy planet?"

"For another example, after returning to the original world, we should have suffered from the economic downturn. The number of college graduates increased year by year, and the postgraduate and civil service examinations became more and more difficult. Young people had to fight for an offer, and middle-aged people had to worry about layoffs and delayed retirement in the future."

"But I calmed down these problems with an idea. I made productivity high enough so that people could survive even if they were lazy, without having to fight for three or four thousand yuan."

“It’s these 99.9% of people that I take care of.”

"...I will fish them out before they fall into the whirlpool of sadness."

“Not everything in this world has to be perfect and successful. We will always fail. We should always leave a little room for ourselves who fail, are despised, and are hated.”

"After all, 'ordinary' is just like this. Even you, Ming An, have lost so much of your glory and honor, and are walking among the crowd like this. Except for being more charming and handsome, you... are still an ordinary person after all."

"It's time to accept some imperfect endings."

The reeds are swaying.

Water birds cut through the surface of the lake, and dragonflies created ripples like skimming the water.

The girl paced gently in the grass, like a white swan swimming.

In the silence, Su Mingan heard his own heartbeat.

This is what he wants.

This is exactly what he wanted.

Even he couldn't stand in everyone's shoes to judge whether Yueyue's approach was correct.

——Which is better, [a real world with development potential and the possibility of entering a higher dimension in the future] or [a fantasy world that is happy, beautiful, safe, but has no development potential]?

In fact, as early as the eighth world, in "HE·Eternal Sleep", Siber had already proposed this concept. She hoped to include everyone in the dome in the dream and let them all be happy. However, she was stopped by Su Mingan who insisted on completing the game perfectly.

But it cannot be said that her idea is wrong.

"...but you still didn't tell me the price." Su Mingan said.

Yueyue showed a light smile:

"Since this is just a dream, not the real world, it must depend on me to exist. I placed this dream in the cracks of the universe. It does not need to take up too many resources and can last until the end of time."

"So, I need to maintain this place all the time. However, the order of magnitude of 10 billion people is not a limit burden for the higher dimensions."

"Until prosperity lasts forever and happiness is limitless."

"Until the rivers stop flowing, the glory will last for generations."

"It's okay, because no one will do anything to frame others again."

“The world goes on as normal every day.”

"…I am willing to take your place, Ming'an."
