Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 198: Let the Mistakes End Here
The scene looked as if Zhezhou was using his own body to purify the absorbed energy and then transmitting it without reservation to the increasingly rampant blood moon above his head.

Jiang Ran's expression changed slightly. She was about to step forward when Zhe Zhou, who was looking down at her, stopped her with a look.

At this moment, Zhe Zhou was just like the person she first met—gentle and tolerant, only her eyes held a hint of determination in her eyes, a determination that came with making a certain decision, and the bitterness that followed.

Suppressing her unease, Jiang Ran gritted her teeth and said, "You want to die together with him? There's no point in doing that!! If you cease to exist, then Blue Star will eventually follow the same path as Paro Island!"

Zhe Zhou smiled, looked up at the "moon" that was now as dark as blood, and pointed without saying a word.

Two scenes flashed through Jiang Ran's mind instantly.

One of them looked just like the first time I saw Palo Island—quiet and peaceful. Only, everyone there was emotionless; their faces, even the curve of their smiles, were identical, living or dying numbly. Until one day, even their souls withered, turning to dust, accumulating into some kind of nourishment, sustaining the land of Palo Island.

The other planet, however, was ravaged by devastation. The entire planet was as if destroyed by an irresistible catastrophe. The remaining inhabitants of the planet lived in pain and despair on a planet devoid of its will, destined to wither away, silently awaiting their fate of annihilation along with the planet.

Even so, the afterimage of the blood moon remained hanging over everyone's heads, never dissipating.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

It seems that the two endings are not much different.

Jiang Ran closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, only resolute determination remained.

"So, am I included in those futures you see?"

Zhezhou was taken aback.

Jiang Ran suddenly laughed: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why me? Is it because I discovered its existence when I was little?"

Although he didn't know why Jiang Ran would care about such things at a time like this, Zhe Zhou still replied gently and apologetically, "Actually, I don't know either. I tried to find the answer in countless timelines, but in the end, it condensed into a knife that I'm stabbing at you."

Jiang Ran shrugged: "Perhaps there are just so many things in this world that seem destined without any reason."

"For example, I want to create an ending you've never seen before."

As Jiang Ran finished speaking, the light in her hand gathered and slowly transformed into a golden parchment book.

This appeared suddenly in her consciousness after the will of Paro Island disappeared, but it was sealed at that time and could not be opened.

Now, however, it has taken the initiative to appear in front of Jiang Ran.

She took a deep breath and slowly unrolled the parchment book.

Whether it was sensing a familiar presence or not, the blood moon, which had been indifferent to everything and hung coldly high, suddenly trembled!
On the uneven surface, jagged lines reappeared, a crack stretched across the entire surface, and gradually widened into a slit.

A majestic and awe-inspiring voice echoed in Jiang Ran's mind like a heavy hammer: "You're courting death—"

Perhaps in its previous view, no matter how much Zhezhou or Jiang Ran struggled, the outcome was already predetermined, so it paid no attention to their schemes.

But when Jiang Ran opened the notebook, it finally sensed a threat.

In particular, this threat carried a scent it was most familiar with.

Jiang Ran had already looked down at the contents of the parchment book.

"A reconstructed body, the beginning of returning to zero."

Is this advice Paro Island is giving itself?
What is meant by a reconstructed body?

She looked up at the broken boat in the pillar of light.

She had a rough idea of ​​Zhezhou's plan; it was nothing more than the same method as dealing with the heart—polluting herself to contaminate the source energy absorbed by the big eyeball.

However, the success in dealing with the heart was not only due to the help of the City of Eternal Night, but more importantly, it was due to the non-resistance or even tacit approval of the will of Paro Island itself.

But how could Big Eyes really let Zhezhou do such a thing?
It seems that Zhezhou is indeed at a dead end.

However, the will of Paro Island may have been planning for this moment for a long time, because—

Jiang Ran subconsciously looked at Majik, who was dressed as an octopus, standing to the side.

To be precise, it was the octopus's shell.

Could it mean what I'm thinking?

The moment the parchment was fully unfurled, an island slowly appeared above the scroll.

Surprisingly, the island didn't resemble Paro at all; rather, it looked more like…

“It was the first island I reclaimed…” Jiang Ran murmured.

Indeed, this island seemed no different from the islands on the Sea of ​​Death, but Jiang Ran could sense that this was the first island she had ever controlled.

Logically, the game content and items should have disappeared the moment the game panel shattered, but Jiang Ran was still able to get what she wanted from her backpack.

Perhaps in a sense, these were originally her abilities, and the game panel was the shackle.

Now that this constraint is gone, Jiang Ran discovers that she can freely use those skills and items that had many restrictions.

For example, puppets, or summoning.

She didn't know if these were gifts from Paro Island, but with them, she was not without the ability to fight.

She didn't want either of those so-called endings.

With countless timelines converging, she must find a completely new solution to free Earth and its people from the so-called prison of the gods.

As Jiang Ran's thoughts surged, small specks of light began to fall from the island, and with each fall, the island slowly shrank. But then, those specks of light transformed into the island's inhabitants!

As soon as they fell, they grew rapidly in the wind, and soon they grew into giants more than 3 meters tall.

Compared to Jiang Ran's surprise when she saw them, Gao Hanging Big Eyes seemed to have received an even greater blow.

"Even...it was all left to them...Mother! Mother!! Why don't you understand everything I've done!! Ughhhhh—"

As the large eyeballs suddenly burst open, those who had been kneeling slowly rose from the ground, their eyes seemingly burning with flames: "For the sake of the gods."

That tiny spark of fire leaped and streamed down their bodies from their eye sockets, turning them into flames as they lunged at Jiang Ran!

At the same time, the giant islanders bowed their heads devoutly, pounding their fists into their hearts: "Offering this to the earth! May it be a blade in your hand!"

On the parchment, the last remaining piece of the island was enveloped by a layer of earthen shell, which was transformed by the last ray of light, and the islanders bravely and fearlessly faced the fiery crowd.

A soft sigh reached Jiang Ran's ears: "Let it all end, let the mistakes be put to rest here."

She looked up at the large, almost delirious eyes. The figure in the beam of light seemed to be suffering some inhuman torment; his usually calm face now showed a frantic expression of pain. His fingers gripped her head tightly, as if trying to pull it off her neck.

Jiang Ran had experienced the mental attacks from Big Eyes, but she knew even better that what Zhe Zhou was facing now would be a thousand times more terrifying than what she had endured before.

We can't let him continue like this; we must first find a way to get the broken boat out of the pillar of light.

Jiang Ran steeled her resolve and leaped toward the pillar of light!

"Overestimating one's abilities—"

The buzzing sound, accompanied by terrifying tremors, tried to shatter Jiang Ran's will like a heavy hammer, but the diary that had disappeared had somehow reappeared in her consciousness.

It was still a soft pink color, with crooked little flowers, but it stood in front of Jiang Ran, gently enveloping her like a mother, and taking the angry blow from the big eyes.

At the moment the diary crumbled, Jiang Ran seemed to see her mother, Ms. Jiang Man, smiling contentedly as she gave her a final hug.

Meanwhile, all the players were shocked to see the images that had inexplicably appeared above the instance.

"What is this... Is the end of the world about to come again?"

"Look at that person, doesn't he look familiar?!"

"It's the young lady! That person must be the young lady!! Who is she fighting with?"

"Doesn't that moon look familiar? Could it be that it was the cause of everything that happened before?!"

"What can we do? Are we just supposed to stand by and watch?"

"Do you guys remember the last Nightfall reward event? Maybe we can help out then. It's not like those so-called gods use faith to harvest the players of Blue Star and weaken Blue Star's will. In that case, we can offer our faith to the young lady!"

"Yes!! The young lady said before that as long as we trust her and believe that this land will protect us, everything will be fine. Go for it, young lady!"

"This land has always protected us, young lady. Take this power of faith with you, and let those self-righteous so-called gods get off this planet!!"

"Go for it! Get them off this planet!"

"Get out! Our Earth doesn't need any so-called gods!!"

"Those people in the flames, could they have once been our compatriots? Not only do they plunder, but they also make us kill each other. That thing that looks like an eyeball, you've already chosen your death!!"

……

Jiang Ran had no idea what was happening inside the instance. She just suddenly felt that the large eyeballs that had previously seemed extremely oppressive suddenly became somewhat blurry and distant.

Even after the pink diary disappeared, the terrifying mental impact still failed to reach her, but was blocked by the golden light that emerged from her body layer by layer!

Jiang Ran had some vague guesses in her mind, but she didn't have time to care about them for the time being, as the broken boat was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

And she finally got close to the pillar of light.

With unstoppable momentum, Jiang Ran charged straight into the pillar of light.

Unexpectedly, just like when she first came to Paro Island and approached the heart without any obstacles, this time, she encountered no resistance either.

Before she could even feel happy, Jiang Ran didn't dare to delay and grabbed Zhe Zhou's hand: "Let's go!"

Zhe Zhou struggled to lift his head; he could no longer speak, and could only manage to grasp Jiang Ran's warm hand in return.

Jiang Ran grabbed Zhe Zhou's hand and flung him toward Majik, saying, "Let's see if we can give him our bodies!!"

Along with the broken boat, what was thrown at Majik was also the body that she had always kept, which belonged to Majik.

While shielding himself from the crazed fire-breathing men, Majik used his tentacles to catch Zhezhou and his own body safely, then looked completely bewildered: "What?"

But Zhe Zhou's body was already at its limit after such torment, and his face was falling off piece by piece, like some kind of shattered porcelain.

Majik had no idea how to use the body, just like when he entered the octopus's body inexplicably.

He had no choice but to try anything, so he placed the broken boat directly on his most vulnerable and crucial area: "Look at this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt as if he had been lightly bumped.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his own body.
