Chapter 38: Choice

For Mu Bei, learning that he might enter “absolute death” sounded like just another ordinary little interlude in his life.

There was no panic, no fear, but an unbelievable calmness, as if he wouldn't be the one dying.

Mu Bei lowered his head and thought for a while before realizing that his calmness seemed a bit excessive.

“Is this the influence of the Old God System…” Mu Bei exhaled softly, sighing in his heart.

This indifferent emotion was like stripping away human emotions, leaving behind a certain transcendent rationality.

It had to be said, this state was quite good; at least Mu Bei himself not only didn't dislike it, but even quite liked it.

“Is there still a way to save me?” Mu Bei asked calmly.

Solution 1: Separation and Restoration.

Name: Separation and Restoration

Content: Since the Slayer of Order has conceptually bound itself to your karma, destiny, soul, and physical body, the connection between you and the Slayer of Order in these four aspects needs to be severed simultaneously. Afterward, the Paradise will use a massive amount of spacetime power to restore your karma, destiny, soul, and physical body to their state before you were bound to the Slayer of Order.

Success Rate: 100%

Cost: 105,938,291 paradise coins

Tip: Since the Contractor was hit by the Slayer of Order upon returning to the Paradise, it was an accidental incident. According to the paradise regulations, 99.9% of the cost has been waived for you.

Mu Bei’s eyes lit up when he saw “100% success rate.”

However, when Mu Bei’s gaze fell on the cost, his expression immediately froze.

“1… over 100 million paradise coins?” Mu Bei’s expression stiffened, and his mind briefly went blank.

Even more absurd was that this was the cost after a 99.9% reduction!

What kind of ridiculous cost was this?

However, through the information in the solution, Mu Bei now knew that the broken sword stuck in his head was called the Slayer of Order.

This separation fee, which was reduced by 99.9% yet still exceeded 100 million, constantly highlighted the high prestige of this broken sword named Slayer of Order.

But Mu Bei truly couldn't afford this amount.

However, if there was Solution 1, there would also be Solution 2.

Solution 2: Participate in Order Paradise’s 190,765,3248th Anti-entropy Experiment.

Name: The 190,765,3248th Anti-entropy Experiment

Content:

The profession, Slayer of Order’s Grief, was a product of an Anti-entropy Experiment conducted by Order Paradise 579 million years ago. Due to a significant change in the cosmological constant, this profession is now completely unable to adapt to the current cosmic environment.

The Contractor can choose to become the sole experimental subject for Order Paradise’s 190,765,3248th Anti-entropy Experiment. If the experiment is successful, you will transfer to the profession of ??? (theoretically, ??? is a higher-tier profession than Slayer of Order’s Grief). At that time, you will avoid entering absolute death due to an inability to adapt to the current cosmic environment.

Success Rate: Undetermined

Cost: 0

Tip: If you choose to participate in Order Paradise’s 190,765,3248th Anti-entropy Experiment, all experimental costs will be borne by Order Paradise.

Mu Bei frowned as he looked at Solution 2. Compared to the exorbitant Solution 1, this solution undoubtedly seemed like a great bargain—

Mu Bei wouldn't have to pay even 1 paradise coin; the Paradise even promised to bear all experimental costs.

But the more Mu Bei scrutinized it, the more he felt something was off.

Free things are often the most expensive.

Moreover, regarding the profession name after a successful experiment, the solution only listed three question marks!

The more Mu Bei thought about it, the more unreliable this solution seemed.

In fact, the inability to see the profession information was due to insufficient Contractor authority.

The reason the success rate was marked as “Undetermined” actually held a deeper meaning.

Order Paradise has conducted 1,907,653,247 Anti-entropy Experiments to date.

Aside from the one 579 million years ago, which was barely considered a partial success, all other experiments… failed completely.

Based on historical data calculations, the success rate of this experiment is close to 0.

Specifically, it is: (0.5 / 1,907,653,247) × 100% ≈ 0.000000026%.

However, the Paradise could not completely deny the possibility of the experiment. Because Mu Bei's appearance broke all logic and rules.

For this reason, if the Paradise were forced to give a specific value for the success rate of this experiment, the Paradise could only give two extreme values: 0, or 100%.

Mu Bei’s condition perfectly matched the biggest requirement for the Anti-entropy Experiment—the Cause-less Fruit.

He had no biological father, so even when Mu Bei was an unfertilized egg with the potential to develop into an embryo, Order Paradise had already noticed him.

On the levels of karma and destiny, as Order Paradise continuously verified, it was discovered that Mu Bei’s birth was a coincidence within a coincidence within a coincidence, a miracle within a miracle within a miracle.

There was only the birth of this one fruit, with no clear, specific, or justifiable cause for its existence found.

Karma and destiny, and even Order Paradise itself, could not explain why Mu Bei existed. It was like a cosmological constant—inexplicable, yet its existence undeniable.

The very fact of Mu Bei's birth had severely overdrawn his luck, which destined him to be rejected by fate his entire life.

Therefore, Mu Bei’s talent was named Heaven Forsaker, and the effect of Heaven Forsaker 1 was that his luck attribute could only decrease, not increase.

Although Mu Bei was currently too weak, and his body and soul simply couldn't withstand the Anti-entropy Experiment, for Order Paradise, it was simply a matter of strengthening him enough to endure it.

In short, the Paradise had found the most suitable Anti-entropy Experiment subject in its history—Mu Bei.

“Is there a Solution 3?” Mu Bei asked hopefully.

Solution 3: Suicide

Name: Suicide

Content: The Contractor can now leave his exclusive room. Without the suppression of absolute safety rules, you will immediately transfer to the profession of Slayer of Order’s Grief, and then in the next instant, due to being completely unable to adapt to the current cosmic environment, you will enter absolute death.

Success Rate: 100%

Cost: 0

Tip: The teleportation mist door of the exclusive room has been opened for you. You can enter the interior of Order Paradise through the teleportation door.

After reading Solution 3, Mu Bei fell silent.

A moment later, a section of the exclusive room’s white wall was replaced by a mist door.

The mist door was yellow, and Mu Bei could not see the scene outside the exclusive room through it.

But Mu Bei knew that if he went out now, it would mean death.

“Are there any other solutions?”

None.

“Then… can I get a loan?”

Insufficient authority.

“I performed so well in the trial world, can’t you make an exception?”

No.
