"Then do you regret meeting me?" Miss Pink Fairy asked again.
The man laughed dumbly, "No, never."
Alicia wanted to say something, but was easily interrupted by Lu Mian's actions.
As if to prove that what he said was true, the man gently took the girl's hand, which was pressed on the table with a fist, and led her away from the table to the golden chandelier hanging in the center of the room.
Their movements were light, as if they were dancing a graceful minuet in the weightless galaxy.
In the center of the room, under the bright lights, Lu Mian suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Alicia, and then took out something and put it on the ring finger of Alicia's left hand, which was as white and slender as a scallion.
It was a ring - an exquisite ring embellished with a pale pink glazed flawless crystal flower.
"I gave my 'love and sensibility' to May, and to every other shining person I met.
"Now, Alicia, I give you my 'selfishness'." Lu Mian said with an indelible smile on his face.
Alicia stared at Lu Mian in silence, who only smiled at her, then raised her left hand to look at the ring on it.
The scene before her was actually what she had been secretly looking forward to for a long time, but why didn't she feel happy at this moment?
It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this.
Something must have gone wrong...
The girl wanted to say something else, but she was no longer able to do it.
Her body was no longer under her control, and she fell helplessly, but was gently caught by the man in front of her and held in his arms.
Ah, it must be the ring that is causing the trouble.
Lu Mian held Alicia in his arms and said sadly:
"Since your underlying logic is completely different, you will definitely not agree with everything I expected; of course, I will not back down because of this. Therefore, I must use this method. Thank you for not being on guard against me until today.
"Now, please bear witness with me."
After saying this, he immediately mobilized all the powers of the Ruler of Consciousness.
In an instant, a similar spiritual world, yet undestroyed by the flames of war, unfolded infinitely and superimposed on this world.
Including Lu Mian and Alicia, all the survivors were pulled into this spiritual world that was so beautiful that it completely abandoned reality.
Seeing long-dead relatives and old friends in the spiritual world, people may be overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, or stare at everything in front of them in silence, thinking they are mentally ill...
Lu Mian and Alicia stood quietly high in the sky, looking down and taking in everything.
Seeing that no one questioned the falsity of the world, Alicia, who was already able to speak, pursed her lips and stammered:
"Can such a 'fake' world bring 'real' happiness to people?"
“This world may be fake, a false dream created by me; but I can guarantee that everyone living in this world is as real as it can be.
“So, the spark of happiness between them will not and should not be false.” Lu Mian, who looked down at the world with a divine appearance but was exceptionally gentle, smiled, his voice indescribably gentle.
Hearing this, Alysia's pupils shrank slightly.
She seemed to have guessed something, "Mian, what do you mean?"
"After I gained the authority of the Ruler of Consciousness, I discovered that I could record the consciousness of those who died into my own 'concepts'," Lu Mian chuckled, feeling somewhat proud. "So this reunion between the living and the dead happened."
"......Although I am powerless to bring back those who passed away earlier, it's not bad now, right? This is all I can do..." After a moment's silence, he continued.
Alicia looked at Lu Mian's profile, and knowing what he was thinking, she finally smiled faintly.
It was only then that she said with some hindsight:
"Mian, you know what? There was a time when I felt that you had changed. Now it seems that I was wrong. You haven't changed. You have never changed. You are still as 'gentle' as before."
Although he disagreed, Lu Mian did not refute Alicia's topic of tenderness, but instead looked reminiscent, "Yes, I haven't changed, and you haven't changed, so everything has become like this.
"Come to think of it, I've always hoped that I could change because of you, but as of now, I've failed."
After hearing this, Alicia couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked, trying to change the subject.
Lu Mian, who had seen the change in his expression, turned his head and looked at the people all over the world who were gathering together for the reunion, and said in a calm tone:
"Didn't I tell you long ago? Next, I will swing the hammer to forge a new world. As for the primer and the firewood, I will do it myself.
"If you don't regret meeting me, then come find me. I'll always be looking forward to it."
[Don’t ask for this life, but promise the next life. 】
[After this conversation, neither you nor Alicia had any interest in talking any more.]
[You first drove all the living survivors out of the spiritual world. When they fell into greater despair due to their reunion and separation, your supreme spiritual body appeared above the world.]
[You enlightened all the survivors with a divine attitude, without explaining too much, and only told them that if they wanted to return to the spiritual world just now, they should shout "I wish to sleep" three times immediately.]
【Faced with the choice, the survivors fell into an unprecedented silence. 】
[Perhaps, perhaps at this time, if a shining person could stand up and say something, they could still ignite the hope of resisting and persevering.]
[However, almost all the shining ones are already preparing for the next season in hibernation. ]
[Among them, Alicia, who is somewhat reluctant to prepare for the next season, has been controlled by you. ]
[The above assumption is a false proposition from the beginning. ]
[After a long while, someone in the crowd loudly repeated the spell you said to enter a dream three times.]
[The sound was heard, and a stone caused a thousand waves. ]
[Instantly, as if some high explosive had been ignited, the group of survivors exploded.]
【Someone starts it, and then someone else follows. 】
[There are people who keep shouting out the spell to enter a dream, and there are also people who keep following others’ chanting of the spell to enter a dream. 】
[Even if a few people still try to face the bleak world in front of them and refuse to dream, it is of no avail. ]
[The majority of people have already told them through their own actions that persistence under this premise is worthless.]
[In the end, those who tried to hold on also gave up struggling. ]
[Seeing this scene, your expression remained calm, without any trace of surprise.]
[To be honest, this is the result that I could have foreseen when you said that the condition for returning to the spiritual world was to shout out "I wish to sleep" three times.]
【People can never give up feelings. 】
【Everyone has relatives and friends. 】
[Among the survivors, there will always be people who want to see their relatives and friends again. 】
【And humans are always willing to follow blindly. 】
[As long as the survivors who want to see their relatives and friends again shout out "I am willing to sleep" three times and set the trend of giving up, others will naturally follow suit.]
[It doesn’t matter if other people can’t see their relatives and friends when they go to that spiritual world. They just follow the crowd, and that’s enough.]
[In the end, those who still hold on to their dreams will see this situation where a single stone stirs up a thousand waves. Can they still remain calm? ]
[You will not look down on human persistence, just as you never look down on human beings. ]
[But, are those who still persist all people with hearts as strong as iron? Not necessarily. ]
[There will always be people with weak willpower who choose to give up persistence, and as long as they give up persistence, it will affect the will of other people who persist. ]
[When the incident is over, you expect that only a few scattered people will remain in the world. ]
[However, you obviously underestimated the despair that the collapse brought to mankind; and you also overestimated the current mental state of mankind. ]
[All the survivors fell into a dream, and no one was left in the world. ]
[As for whether someone might be hiding secretly to avoid detection. 】
【Will not. 】
[At this moment, you can already feel that the collapse of the world is no longer agitated, just like a swarm of bees that has lost its target and has returned to calm. ]
[The concept of "humanity" has been completely wiped out from the world, the collapse will never happen again, and the Herrscher will never be born again. ]
[You didn’t pay attention to the “dead” bodies scattered all over the ground, but instead gave a meaningful look to Alicia beside you.]
[As you expected, she, no, He is indeed extraordinary. ]
[What is the true identity of Alicia? ]
【You have a certain curiosity about this. 】
[But unless Alicia takes the initiative to tell you the secret she has hidden, you won't explore too much. ]
[After everything is settled, you accompany Alicia to find the remaining Fatso and Tailmon inside the Fire Moth base.]
[They, who are in tune with you, already know what you are going to do, but they don't say a single extra word, just kiss you on the left and right. ]
[After being "bitten" twice, you inevitably lost your mind, and it took you a long while before you smiled happily from the bottom of your heart. ]
【...】
[After asking Alicia to take good care of Fatso and Tailmon and getting a corresponding promise, you said goodbye to them one by one and then sent them to the life support cabin where all things were dormant.]
[What you do next is likely out of your control, so there is no room for surprises.]
[Besides, you are no longer able to take care of them now. ]
【May they be happy. 】
[Just like that, you held on to the above thoughts and cut yourself off from the last human connection in this world.]
[When the life support capsule closed, Alicia, who had not yet fallen asleep, saw the change in your facial expression—from the warmth of humanity to the emptiness and coldness of divinity.]
[The girl realized something was wrong and reached out to knock on the door of the life support cabin, but she could no longer do it.]
[She was overwhelmed by a great sense of weakness and drowsiness.]
【She fell asleep.】
[Outside the life support cabin, you look down at your hands.]
[Next, you should liberate all the "game" concepts in your body and use this to disrupt the underlying logic of the entire world, ensuring that in that beautiful new world, the collapse will always be a new energy source that is convenient for mankind, rather than a Pandora's box that will kill everyone. ]
【This is your plan for the new world. 】
【But why do you do this? 】
[Your thinking has not been affected in any way, but your thoughts have changed a little bit. ]
[You can abandon all your human nature and control everything you want to control with a divine attitude.]
[Do you have to destroy your divine foundation for the sake of those shining people and the new world? ]
You don't want to do this.
【You try to reject "your" plan. 】
【You tried to reject "your" plan...】
【You tried to reject "your" plan!!!】
【However, you failed completely. 】
[Today I want to eat something sour, tomorrow I want to eat something sweet. Humans are always such fickle creatures. 】
[You are well aware of this variability and have already anticipated becoming a god. With a changed perspective, you may abandon all previous plans. ]
[You have always been just an ordinary person, unable to do anything heroic, and naturally you don't think you can crush divinity with your own humanity. ]
[So, after realizing the conflict between human nature and divinity, you asked Weiwei to place some restrictions in your body.]
[Now, thirteen prohibitions are deployed at the same time. ]
[The gods who were supposed to be high above and looking down on or ignoring everything were forced to bend their backs and bodies, and bow to the world and the new world.]
[On His back, infinite light bodies, along with information flows, gushed out and continued to spread until they covered the entire world.]
[With the nods of approval from the "tree" and the "sea", this world was infected by the concept of "game" and the underlying logic was modified. ]
[The new world that will unfold after who knows how many years will go by with harmless collapse, and the Herrscher born in the collapse will also be given humanity. ]
[You really did everything you wanted to do, even including yourself in it.]
【Look, the beauty of the world shines because of you. 】
