Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 196 Sacrifice!

"ending?"

Seeing this simple yet sincere request, Zhou Liang couldn't help but pause, then fell silent...

To be honest, he really didn't think that "Zhou Liang" would get to this point today:
At the beginning, the purpose of his simulation was actually just to find a good ending, and then use the world line of the good ending to cover this helpless failed reality line.

But as the plot progresses, he gradually discovers that the nature of the "world line overlay" function is actually not a good thing. After all, there can only be one real world, and the result of using simulation lines to overlay reality is the destruction of reality...

So Zhou Liang could only look away and turned his original "world line coverage plan" into a "copy homework plan."

He tried to use the simulated world as an experiment to find a reliable plan to kill gods, and then copy it in reality. Compared with the seemingly beautiful but actually dark "world line overlay", this is undoubtedly a better way out!
But no one expected that this good plan would gradually fall behind the version...

As more plots unfold, a world background far beyond Zhou Liang's imagination slowly emerges:

It turns out that the Ming Dynasty is not an independent historical dimension, but the result of two worlds overlapping each other!

The Ming Dynasty is an illusory world created by the "golden light from outer space" and the soul and memories of Emperor Chongzhen. In the real world, the wheel of history continues to move forward as usual...

At the same time, this also reveals the importance of the God-Emperor:
Killing gods will not bring eternal peace, but will push the illusory world into the abyss of destruction!

Zhou Liang admitted that he felt really helpless after learning this information...

If I can't kill the gods, doesn't that mean I can't copy the existing homework? In the end, do I still have to use the "world line overlay" function?

He once struggled...

But he never expected that at this critical moment of betting on both sides, "Zhou Liang" actually came up with such an abstract work as "Western Paradise"!

With the idea of ​​trying anything possible, Zhou Liang, although he did not believe that the Western Paradise really existed, had no choice but to give it a try, which led to the idea of ​​"sending everyone to the Western Paradise".

But now, the results of the experiment are still unclear, and "Zhou Liang" actually threw the problem back to him...

"You think you've accomplished everything, so you come to me for an ending... But how can I give you an ending?"

Zhou Liang's face was full of bitterness.

If "Zhou Liang" really found an acceptable and realistic solution for him, then he would not hesitate to give "Zhou Liang" an ending... But the problem is that "Zhou Liang" did not find a solution to the realistic problem at all!
What? You can see the west when you go crazy, so I have to go crazy too?
After the madness, what next?
How will my ending be?! There's no higher-dimensional "Zhou Liang" above me, so how can I ask Him for an ending?!
Honestly, Zhou Liang felt helpless, even angry, because this simulation had no practical significance at all...

"Zhou Liang" thought that he had accomplished all the good deeds, because he sent all the people of the Ming Dynasty to the "Western Paradise" which he believed existed, and then drove the God Emperor crazy. From then on, he was free from worries and all worldly causes and effects were resolved.

But Zhou Liang did not get any information of practical value from it:

Does "Western Paradise" really exist?

do not know.

Did the dead people really go to heaven, or were they sacrificed meaninglessly?
do not know either.

What should be done with the mad God Emperor? What will happen when He dies and the illusory world is destroyed?
Still don’t know…

Therefore, even if Zhou Liang gave him an ending, it was only the ending of the simulated world, not the real ending... This simulated ending had no meaning to Zhou Liang himself!

In such anger, Zhou Liang wanted to question him on the spot...

But... he didn't do that.

Zhou Liang took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice:
"System, how can we cancel his status as a reincarnation?"

[Host... don't you want to punish him? ]

"Punishment?"

Zhou Liang sighed bitterly:
"How could I blame him? Even if he didn't help me find a viable and realistic ending, I know he really did his best..."

Along the way, although Zhou Liang has always been a bystander, he has always been aware of the three lives and three worlds of the simulated characters.

"Zhou Liang" never slacked off in his mission. He tried to find a bright way out from the beginning to the end!

But the result of hard work is always despair...

In three lives and three worlds, "Zhou Liang" died more than three times and suffered countless hardships and tortures... This person chosen by fate is both a lucky man and an unlucky man!
Those sufferings and despair were merely a few descriptive paragraphs in reality, but for him, they were truly personal experiences! The insane simulations were enough to send chills down one's spine, let alone the experience of experiencing them firsthand...

Therefore, Zhou Liang actually understood his helplessness very well.

"Under such circumstances, even if he continues to reincarnate, there will definitely be no better outcome... Rather than continue to torture him, it is better to end it here."

"This is both my consideration based on practical value and my respect for him."

"No matter what, he deserves my kindness and a happy ending..."

After saying this, Zhou Liang sighed...

Even the system couldn't help but praise it after hearing it:
[As expected, the real host has the same background as the simulated character, and he is also a hero who once organized an anti-Ming society...]

[The host's benevolence and compassion will surely earn the simulated character's sincere gratitude and recognition!]

"Thanks and recognition?"

Zhou Liang laughed at himself:
"The least valuable thing about a man is his kind heart... It never brings any real benefits, only worthless gratitude."

"I've gotten used to it..."

[It's certainly a habit, but host, aren't you still maintaining this original heart? Even if you never receive any tangible rewards other than gratitude, you are always willing to show kindness to others... This is inherently a kind of immeasurable merit.]

[And when this merit is complete, it may not necessarily fail to produce the fruit you desire...]

Ok?
Zhou Liang raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"You have something else to say..."

【maybe……】

Zhou Liang scratched his head, barely putting away his doubts...

"Okay, okay, time to get down to business!"

Zhou Liang said in a deep voice:
"I want to give him an ending. Do you have any solution?"

【Of course. 】

"any solution?"

【die.】

"what?"

Zhou Liang was confused:

"Dead? But isn't he a reincarnation? If he dies, wouldn't it be like starting over again?"

[It was indeed like this before, but it is different now... Now that he has found the "Western Paradise", death is no longer the starting point of reincarnation for him, but the key to freedom.]

[If the host really wants to give him an ending, then let him sacrifice everything...]

Zhou Liang fell into deep thought.

After a moment he made his decision:

"Then let him be sacrificed!"

"Sacrifice to the heavens, sacrifice to the earth, sacrifice to the past, sacrifice to the future, and even sacrifice to oneself..."

"He sacrificed everything to get an ending he wanted!"

[Ding! You chose: (On the Sacrifice Road!)]
