I'm not a drama god

Wuji Jun was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"After all this journey, what do you think of the Eternal Realm?"

"Very good," Chen Ling answered truthfully. "The people have enough food and clothing, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. In this era... no, even in the era before the Cataclysm, there's no better place than here."

A hint of relief flashed in Wuji Jun's eyes, and he nodded:

"So do you think this place can be 'eternal'?"

"No."

Chen Ling answered very straightforwardly.

"why?"

"Nothing is eternal. The only constant in this world is change." Chen Ling paused for a moment. "Although everything seems perfect now, no one can predict what changes will occur in the future..."

Wuji Jun's evaluation of Chen Ling was not surprising. "You said that people change."

Chen Ling was stunned. He didn't expect that Wuji Jun still remembered what he said at that time.

"Well, I've said it before, especially you... Even if you can guarantee fairness and justice now and be the guardian angel in everyone's hearts, as time goes by, desires will always grow in your heart... As long as you are human, there will always be flaws, and your current position will infinitely magnify any of your shortcomings."

"As long as one is a human being, there will always be shortcomings." Wuji Jun nodded and repeated.

Subsequently,

He asked back,

"What if... I'm no longer a 'human'?"

Chen Ling frowned subconsciously. He looked into Wuji Jun's eyes, a little confused about the meaning of this sentence.

"Humans are creatures influenced by emotions, and true fairness and justice cannot have any trace of personal emotions... This is the reminder you gave me." Wuji Jun spoke slowly.

"After that, I kept thinking about this problem. I wondered what I could do to ensure absolute fairness and make eternity truly 'eternal'."

"Later, I figured it out..."

Wuji Jun raised his hand gently, and a black and gold crown, shining with a mysterious glow, appeared in his palm.

"Since emotions can influence my judgment, I will completely erase my emotions... including my memories, my personality, and... my self."

"As long as I don't have 'humanity' and only act according to specific rules, I can achieve eternal fairness and justice."

"This crown was forged by me personally. Once you put it on, everything I own will be erased... I have engraved all the rules of the Eternal Realm into it, and this body of mine will carry them out forever."

"From now on, my body will never grow old or die, and my justice will never be partial."

"so……"

"I can create a true 'eternity'."

Wuji Jun stared at the crown in his hand. There was no reluctance to give up "self" in his eyes, only expectation and determination for "eternity".

After hearing this, Chen Ling was stunned for several seconds...

"You...are going to turn yourself into a machine?"

It exists forever, never gets tired, has no self-awareness, and only acts according to established rules. In addition, Wujijun is not a carbon-based creature... Isn't this a machine?

Erasing himself means that Lou Yu no longer exists. Is he going to sacrifice himself to practice the "eternity" he firmly believes in?

"A machine... yes, it is indeed a machine." Wuji Jun smiled faintly, "As long as it can guarantee the eternal continuation of the human race, what does it matter if I become a machine?"

"you……"

Chen Ling didn't know what to say anymore.

Wujijun's choice was too extreme, but also extremely reasonable... He really thought seriously about the question raised by Chen Ling at the time, and gave the answer in the most ruthless and direct way.

"Now, do you still think we can't reach 'eternity'?"

Wuji Jun looked into Chen Ling's eyes and asked.

Chen Ling was silent.

"……I have no idea."

"I don't know, but I still don't believe it." Wuji Jun looked at Chen Ling deeply and asked, "Then why do you think we can't reach 'eternity'?"

"I have no idea."

Chen Ling never thought that he was very forward-looking, or that he was smarter than others, smarter than Jiujun... The current Wujijun seemed to have solved all the problems.

Absolute fairness, absolute rule, endless resources, effective management... He couldn't think of any other factors that could sentence this eternal realm to death.

Even if the Red Star returned and smashed the entire Earth into rubble, they could survive by transforming the planet's fragments. Even if technology regressed to the level of cavemen, the material foundation provided by Wujijun could forever protect everyone here.

But even so, Chen Ling did not give Wuji Jun a definite answer...

After all, if Wuji Jun really succeeded, how could he kill himself in the next world with his own hands in the archived time?

Wuji Jun received Chen Ling's reply without a ripple in his eyes. He already had the answer in his heart, and his decision would not be changed by any of Chen Ling's answers.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"Chen Ling, I have a request."

Chen Ling knew that Wuji Jun was finally getting to the point.

He used the 8 of Diamonds and went to such great lengths to get me to the Eternal Realm. It must be more than just wanting to show me his achievements, nor was it simply to ask me about my opinion on "eternity"... He must have a more important reason.

"Tell me."

"I hope you can give up restarting the world."

Chen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly: "...Oh?"

"The destruction of the three realms on the surface is almost inevitable. Technology has regressed to this point. They are guarding a pile of rubble and lack the necessary material resources to sustain so many people... The only remaining suspense is how long they can continue to survive."

"I hope that even if the three realms are destroyed, even if all life on the surface is devastated... you will not reverse the times and restart the world."

"After all, creating an eternal realm... is too difficult."

"You should have seen everything I've been through. I, Lou Yu, can succeed in this life and create eternity so perfectly in this life, but in the next life... I may not be able to do it."

"So the chance for eternity is almost only once."

"Once you restart the world, all my efforts in this life will be wiped out, and the last eternity of humanity that we worked so hard to build will regress to the starting point."

"I know that the Twilight Society reverses the times and restarts the world in order to find a glimmer of hope to save humanity..."

"but……"

"How can you be sure that the Eternal Realm cannot become that 'hope'?"
