Chapter 1756 Final Chapter: The Shore [101] "The Land of Prayer for All Beings".

Chapter 1756 Final Chapter: The Shore Crossing [101]: "The Land of Prayers for All Beings".

Rovasa.

Each player received a message that the game was completed and began discussing what to do after returning.

Undoubtedly, defeating the final boss, the Radiant Mother Goddess, rescuing Rovasa and all living beings, driving away the Lord of the End of All Things, and perfecting the Book of the World—this must be the perfect clear on the highest difficulty. The Lord of Dreams and the Awakened Ones belong to the realm outside of Rovasa and are not included in this instance.

They perfectly cleared all eleven dungeons at the highest difficulty. After defeating the Radiant Mother Goddess, resources were plentiful, and many players were powerful. Compared to their previous hasty escape, there were at least a dozen more god-level players present. Once Su Ming'an returned as a first-level god, if he could overcome the corruption of the Demon Mother Goddess, they would no longer need to fear any higher dimensions and could return to their original Zhai Star.

—The road is bright.

A bright and glorious future lies before our eyes.

At this point, the noise gradually subsided. They stopped frequently complaining about "why Su Ming'an didn't finish earlier" and "why did we have to fight all the way here"... They realized that compared to running away earlier, the upper limit of human civilization had increased by more than one level.

The power of the World Game as a cosmic organ lies in this: as long as players complete the game on high difficulty and follow all the quest lines, the resulting progress and advancement will be extremely astonishing.

"...I want to buy a huge house and bring my parents here." While cleaning up the mess, Meiyani couldn't help but imagine the future.

However, before that, they must return the "seed" of the third-level god.

Previously, the nine players ascended to godhood collectively, not through force or robbery, as it would have been too late to fight them one by one, but rather through the help of the nature angel Tiffany.

After the nine of them joined forces to defeat the War Angel Kennini, the Nature Angel Tiffany spoke:

……

"Klitschko is perverse and we are trapped by our created nature, unable to resist Him. If your path proves that you have enough power to break the great net of the sky after taking our strength... we are willing to believe in your power. We only ask that—after everything is over, you return our divine power to us."

Among the three tiers of gods, there are warmongers like Kennini and pacifists like Tiffany. They are tired of being eternal puppets and see this as an opportunity to break free. To them, the players are lawless extraterrestrials, yet also a powerful force. If their goal is the Radiant Mother, there's no need for a life-or-death struggle.

Compared to true gods, these third-tier deities are filled with human desires; the seven deadly sins are branded within them. Aside from their immense divine power, they are no different from humans.

"I am grateful for your righteousness, but why do you trust us?" Anthony said. Players are monsters who won't give up what they've swallowed; once a divine position is gained, it can't be relinquished.

"After everything is over, at least please return the seed of the [divine position]." Tiffany seemed to have anticipated Antony's answer, immediately taking a step back, as if this was Her true purpose.

"Seeds?" Shirley tilted her head.

"We are aware of our limitations. As gods whose existence is written down, we may never be able to leave the planet Rovasa in our lifetime. Therefore, we do not crave more potential," Tiffany said. "After you take our divine power, please leave us the core 'seed' of our divinity. This is the source of our divine position. With the nurturing of countless years, thousands upon thousands of years... our divine power will gradually recover. Just as when the secondary gods created us, they also preserved their own seeds. Therefore, after they created us by splitting their authority, their divine power will gradually return to its original state."

The players suddenly understood; no wonder high-ranking deities could wholesale low-ranking deities.

"Then wouldn't Su Ming'an also be able to mass-produce low-level gods?" Eleven suggested.

Tiffany shook her head: “Life can only be created from nothing by relying on Rovasa’s creation system. Furthermore, as created beings, our potential is confined to this planet, forever unable to venture into the universe. The total energy of a civilization is finite, therefore the number of divine positions is also finite.” She extended her palm. “If you agree, please swear an oath of divinity and soul in the Court of the Star Gods, and make a covenant.”

[Angol, who had been silently observing, kissed the cross pendant on his chest and sighed, "What a helpless legacy, what a powerless god... It seems that Boris was right. There is a limit to faith in a god. Even the most powerful god cannot escape the fate of being extinguished. Only faith in Su Ming'an can endure..."]

Next, the nine people discussed some details with the Harvest Angel Candice and finalized their cooperation.

After things were settled, Yuri, the God of Trade who had remained silent until now, revealed a complex expression: "I never imagined that the speed of life's evolution could be this fast. When you players first came in, you were even chased by the locals, fighting them for body access, but now you can threaten us. The strongest among you initially only had combat power below the third-level god level, but now you can even contend with the Radiant Mother Goddess, and it's only been a few dozen days..."

He sighed softly: "Players... they really are terrifying seeds..."

[The World Game is the most cruel and powerful catalyst in the universe. It forces growth, it is cold and ruthless. It rapidly absorbs the most efficient nutrients from civilization and feeds them back to the players with brutal and high-pressure competition, allowing lower life forms to quickly transform into higher life forms.]

[It possesses no physical strength, yet it can create the most powerful, towering trees in the universe; it has no hands or feet, yet it can alter the fate of all things. It purifies waste venous blood, transforming it into highly potent arterial blood… truly a cosmic wonder that inspires awe in all living beings.]

The gods don't have a mechanism to gain experience by killing monsters, nor do they get equipment drops from completing quests. Their strength has long since stagnated, waiting for heroes to catch up.

The balance of power has shifted; the players who were once driven around aimlessly now stand in the Court of the Stars and Gods.

……

Therefore, before they left, they had to make a trip to the Court of the Star Gods, but this was no longer a big deal.

“…I want to travel the world! I’ve always wanted to go to the mysterious Eastern countries…” Anthony’s thoughts went even further, his eyes shining.

"Dream on. When we get back, we'll definitely need to stabilize the situation first. A god-level player like you shouldn't even think about running away; it'll just cause more trouble," Ward teased Anthony in a hoarse voice. The two had been through thick and thin together and now had a very good relationship, evolving from comrades-in-arms to friends.

The current number of god-level players is in the double digits, which brings many benefits—if there were too few god-level players, dictatorship would be inevitable in order to support the entire world. But now that there are enough, once a "parliament" is formed, the mutual checks and balances are far better than dictatorship.

With high-caliber and capable individuals like Lü Shu, Lin Yin, and Eleven as a foundation, and with the united government in charge, there shouldn't be any problems for at least a thousand years. As for a thousand years from now... in just a thousand years, humanity has progressed from a primitive medieval era to an extremely developed modern one. A thousand years from now, who knows what kind of enormous qualitative change will occur.

Then let humanity handle it itself.

For countless years, humanity has persevered in this way, tenacious, resilient, and never giving up. If we can help them through this most difficult and painful period, we believe they will be able to forge their own future.

The heroes of this era have achieved perfection.

Let's leave the rest to the future.

"...When we get back, we will commemorate the victims of this war..." Lin Yin said calmly.

Players can be resurrected, which is not a great loss for Zhai Xing, but some people still fall before dawn forever.

They still don't know where the road ended up. Will Yamada Machiichi ever return?

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Mei Yani looked up. "Su Ming'an is back!"

In an instant, everyone looked up, as if they were in a vast ocean.

"Number One Player!"

"The number one player is back!!"

"Let's get ready to go home, let's go home!"

"Su Ming'an, do you need any help? We can all help!"

Seeing the overly enthusiastic crowd, Su Ming'an waved and walked in one direction.

—Qianqin, Phoenix.

The two had fought fiercely under the World Tree, but now the battle was over and the Radiant Mother Goddess had perished... Qianqin had lost her object of loyalty and stopped arguing.

Seeing Su Ming'an approach, Phoenix grinned and laughed loudly, "I knew it! Pursuing freedom doesn't mean annihilation. Knight, you and the man behind you are wrong!"

Qianqin remained silent, leaning against the sword blade with her eyes slightly lowered.

Suddenly, she felt Su Ming'an walk up to her.

“…Qianqin,” Su Ming’an said, “thank you for your help in the Disciple Game.”

He hadn't forgotten that in the Disciple Game, he possessed a frail body, and Qianqin, as a brave and fearless knight, had helped him time and time again without asking for anything in return.

Qianqin shook her head and smiled, "This is what a knight should do, no need for thanks. It is I and everyone else who should thank you... thank you for saving two worlds."

She seemed tired. As a Dawn Knight, the Radiant Mother was no longer there... She looked like she desperately needed to find a place to rest.

Just as she was about to leave, Su Ming'an reached out and stopped her.

She looked at him strangely, and Su Ming'an suddenly drew his sword—

“I’m sorry,” he said.

The sword blade suddenly stabbed towards Qianqin!

—No one expected that the savior, who saved two worlds, would suddenly turn against a seemingly ordinary knight!

Her pupils suddenly contracted; Su Ming'an's move was too fast, and she couldn't react at all!

Even Phoenix was astonished, not understanding why Su Ming'an would attack Qian Qin!

In that very instant—

Extremely unusually, Qianqin instinctively flinched backward for a moment.

A sudden assassination attempt by a first-level god was actually dodged by an ordinary knight!

Su Ming'an instantly unleashed tentacles and attacked again.

"—Did you really think I would believe in your 'Eternal Dream'?"

“Yuritilola, you underestimate me.”

He had already sensed that something was wrong.

When he first opened his eyes, Su Lin was sitting by the window, posing. The sky was a mix of pink and white, representing the confrontation between Pudding and Lu Shen, two awakened beings, over the spiritual light. Whoever collected more spiritual light in Rovasa would inherit the Blackwater Dream. Qian Qin and Phoenix were their divine messengers, hence their confrontation beneath the World Tree.

However, after defeating the Radiant Mother Goddess, the sky turned completely into the blue light of the universe. Even if the gold belonging to the Radiant Mother Goddess was swept away, at least the pink and white belonging to Pudding and Lu God should have remained.

But not at all.

It was as if their struggle had suddenly ceased to exist.

Furthermore, there's something extremely suspicious. The moment Su Ming'an defeated the Radiant Mother Goddess, he heard a system notification—

……

Congratulations on winning the zeroth Disciple Game!

[You have received the level reward: Image of the Supreme Lord *1]

You have now embodied the full image of the Supreme Lord.

……

However, he clearly remembered that there was still one very important thing he hadn't finished, so he couldn't be considered to have completed the zeroth disciple game.

……

Welcome to the sixteen contestants at table number 372, to the final challenge of the zeroth Disciple Game – “The Last Supper.”

[Among you sixteen, there is a traitor. This traitor has corrupted the other three, causing them to fall into demonic possession. Therefore, there are four demons among you.]

All players will exercise their privileges during the "Midnight Bell" segment, discuss during the "Mealtime" segment, and then proceed to "Judgment Day." Please note that there is no banishment in this game; if you wish to eliminate the demon, you must take action on "Judgment Day."

After "Judgment Day" concludes, you will be summoned back here for the "midnight bell" and "dinner time," before resuming the "Judgment Day" role-playing, and so on.

The historical milestone of "Judgment Day" is:

[The Second Era, the Great Assembly of World Creators.]

……

—This werewolf game!

At the time, Su Ming'an thought the Supreme Lord was so boring that he designed a werewolf game, which players had played countless times.

Fortunately, this game is quite novel. Although its nighttime format is exactly the same as Werewolf, it has a daytime role-playing segment—players need to role-play during the daytime segment called "Judgment Day," and only return to the dinner table at night to hold an exile vote.

Su Ming'an and the others participated in this game, but later on, their energy was completely focused on fighting against the Lord of the End of All Things, fighting against the Radiant Mother Goddess, fighting against the false world line... Many people forgot that they had also participated in such a game.

Defeating the Radiant Mother Goddess does count as completing the game, but the nighttime phase has not yet appeared.

……

The demon's victory condition is: to obtain all the "Holy Communion" (i.e., all those who ate the food die).

The victory condition for non-demon characters is: deciphering the key to victory, "Judah's Seventh Letter" (i.e., surviving all the events of "Judgment Day").

……

Therefore, as a member of the "demon" faction, Su Ming'an must at least kill all the non-demon faction members in order to completely complete the Zeroth Disciple Game.

This made him suspicious.

So far, everything should be true, and the Radiant Mother Goddess was indeed defeated by him, but problems arose after the defeat.

—Seventh seat, Yuritilola.

How could this guy just disappear after making a brief appearance? Considering His eternal authority, Su Ming'an suspected that after defeating the Radiant Mother Goddess, an even larger dream, controlled by Eurydilora, had descended upon them.

After all, based on Hui Chi's memories, it's clear that Yuritilora has always been using the Radiant Mother Goddess, and she may have prepared the "double dream" technique. Even if Su Ming'an and the others break through the Radiant Mother Goddess's dream... they might still be trapped in a dream belonging to Yuritilora.

This explains why the system broadcast was brought forward, and why the pinkish-white sky suddenly disappeared.

If Su Ming'an hadn't reacted and had been immersed in the joy of ending everything... He might have actually succeeded.

Once Su Ming'an believes everything before him, he will go to see the Lord of Dreams. Undoubtedly, eternal slumber awaits him.

Previously, in order to break the little king's dream, Su Ming'an successfully woke up by killing Pero in the dream. In other words, he needed to find an abnormal "node" to break it.

He was already a higher dimension, and so was Yuritilola; the difference between them wasn't significant, and Su Ming'an might even be stronger. The reason he was blinded by the dream was because Yuritilola had been plotting for so long, and Su Ming'an was trapped in the cat box, unable to see clearly. But once Su Ming'an realized what was happening…

He instantly locked onto Qianqin.

Aside from sensing Qianqin's unusual aura as a higher dimension, logically, the sudden disappearance of the two awakened beings makes their divine messengers—Phoenix and Qianqin—the most suspicious.

After testing the two, Su Ming'an decisively drew his sword and stabbed at Qianqin.

Of course, he might misjudge the situation, and at the last moment he might sheathe his sword, preventing Qianqin from being harmed. However…

Qianqin dodged.

Su Ming'an's attack was too sudden and decisive, filled with killing intent. "Yuritilola" had no choice but to dodge, as she was unsure whether Su Ming'an would actually strike.

As the "core of the formation," it can only dodge.

And once He dodges...

"Shh!"

In the next instant, Su Ming'an unleashed a frenzied divine power, his pure white tentacles surging wildly as he fiercely attacked "Qianqin"!

—In that instant, it was as if a "crash" sounded as the dream shattered, and this eternal dream... was broken.

The peaceful, tranquil, and joyful scene before our eyes has vanished.

—In its place, a scarlet sky appeared.

The raging flames, the flowing blood.

The land was ravaged, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Before him lay a colossal sun on the verge of falling, like a sinking golden orb. Skeletons stretched endlessly, countless corpses piled high, and rivers of blood flowed across the ground. A child's figure, adorned with a wreath of flowers, stood beneath the sky, gazing back at him.

Su Ming'an felt a weight in his arms. He looked down and saw a blood-stained human head in his arms.

To the left was a mangled corpse, and to the right was a lifeless black-haired girl.

Behind him lay the countless remains of his comrades.

His emotions were momentarily fluctuating, but he quickly calmed down and suppressed his will.

“Oh…you have a strong will. I thought this scene would shake you or even break you down,” Eurydilora said, crossing her arms.

He constructed this scene to make Su Ming'an believe that even if he broke free of the dream, it was too late; reality was already a bloodbath, and all his companions were dead. But Su Ming'an quickly regained his senses, immediately realizing it was fake, and swiftly calmed down.

“After all, I had already seen such a scene in my dream when I first joined Rovasa,” Su Ming’an said. “Having been given a heads-up, I reacted quickly.”

He now understood that the bloody scene he witnessed at the beginning, and the conversation between "himself" and Igulaire, must have been Si Que's memories from one of the loops. After all, Igulaire called him "Si Que Olives," and if she called him Su Ming'an, she would definitely know it was his real name.

If you complete tasks step by step without ever thinking of rebelling, you will end up like that.

The blood-red dream at the beginning was a warning, a precaution. It even made the corpses on the ground resemble his comrades. That's why he never fully trusted Iguler and was very wary of the term "fixed ending."

"Hmph, you're really well prepared... You, you all." Yuritilora waved her hand.

The next moment, the bloody scene disappeared, replaced by reality.

The hazy, indistinct feeling before his eyes disappeared, and with his higher-dimensional perception, Su Ming'an immediately knew that he had returned to reality.

Before them, Lu Shu, Aini, Mei Yani, Lin Yin, Anthony… everyone stood frozen in place, still in their jubilant poses, as if welcoming Su Ming'an back from the sky. However, their eyes were closed, seemingly immersed in a blissful dream.

Each person maintained a posture of standing, lying down, or even hopping on one leg... yet they were frozen in place, their eyes closed, like solidified amber.

Su Ming'an recognized it at a glance; it was the moment he returned from the sky after slaying the Radiant Mother Goddess. He hadn't yet gone to see the Supreme Lord.

If one were to become immersed in a dream and never awaken, all resistance systems would vanish. The Lord of Dreams would likely soon be able to dominate this world, which is now powerless to resist.

"Have you heard the debate between Phoenix and Chiharu?" Eurydilora landed slowly, cards fluttering around her, flowers and leaves swaying.

"How do you think it would be possible to achieve a world that everyone considers 'perfect'?" He narrowed his eyes, revealing a childlike smile, asking with a mixture of innocence and malice.

Su Ming'an said calmly, "It doesn't exist at all."

“Yes, everyone thinks that a ‘perfect’ world simply doesn’t exist.” Yuritilora shrugged. “Everyone has a different definition of ‘perfection.’ Future developments cannot satisfy everyone. There will always be people who have regrets, and there will always be people who oppose… So…”

He smiled and raised his hand.

"If everyone belongs to a world, creates their own utopia, and becomes their own 'perfect dictator,' everyone will be happy."

Su Ming'an stared at him coldly.

The surroundings were quiet, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and people smiled with their eyes closed, as if they were having a happy dream.

“Do you know?” Yuritilora suddenly said, “your expression just now was also a smile. Even though the smile was full of vigilance, you still had a faint smile... So, you must be longing for such a smooth future.”

"You just... almost headed towards a wrong future."

Su Ming'an looked up.

He recalled a TE introduction he had seen before.

……

[TE15 "I will pile up corpses in front of the tram" (You can't find any way out of this predicament, so you decide to use the power of time to trap the universe, the world, and everyone else forever... As long as time doesn't continue, the tragedy won't happen, and they will be your eternal "companions," forever repeating this period of time with you, becoming beautiful dolls in your hands): 92%]

……

Had he reacted even a fraction of a second slower, allowing Eurydilora to succeed, he might have faced a similar fate. He failed to awaken in time and was drawn into an even deeper dream by the Lord of Dreams. To protect everyone, he had no choice but to remain conscious alone, ensuring that people could continue dreaming.

Let everyone become part of a dream from which they will never awaken.

Su Ming'an became a conman.

No one knows where he went; he simply gazes silently upon the world.

"I have decided to move forward, and naturally I will not fall down on the way," Su Ming'an said resolutely, unleashing his full divine power.

Now, he no longer needs to be timid and hesitant in front of Gaowei.

Eurydilora clearly did not want to fight him head-on. The First Player, who had been enhanced by the World Game, was simply too powerful. Even the Radiant Mother Goddess and the Demon Mother Goddess had become his power.

Eurydilora vanished, transforming into fluttering petals and leaves, emitting a soft laugh:

"—You haven't collected the final image of the Supreme Lord yet! Your Excellency the Savior!"

Even if he defeats Him, Su Ming'an cannot meet the Supreme Lord—because what just happened was a dream, and the current Su Ming'an has not yet obtained the image of the Supreme Lord; the Zeroth Disciple Game is not yet over.

"Kill you, and I'll get through the night." Su Ming'an raised his sword. Once he got through the night, he would see the Supreme Lord, and everything would be resolved.

Eurydilora laughed: "Are you so sure that the final fragment of the Supreme Being's image is definitely in the nighttime phase? What if I said—"

He squinted his eyes,

"—The last fragment of your image is in your companions."

……

Once, when the Crimson Rain descended, Su Ming'an faced two paths. The first was to kill all his teammates and find the image of the Supreme Lord hidden within them. The second was to complete the final level of the Disciple Game, become the champion, directly meet the Supreme Lord, and obtain the image.

He naturally chose the more difficult second path, and so he has been traversing the seas and turning the pages of history all the way back to the present day, until he is about to win.

The moment Su Ming'an defeats the Radiant Mother Goddess, the nighttime segment of "Werewolf" should begin, completing the final match and determining the champion.

However, the Lord of Dreams noticed all of this, so Yuritilora caused everyone to fall into a dream. The night session could not be started due to a lack of people, so she forced Su Ming'an to go back to the first path—to kill all his teammates and obtain the image.

Only by defeating Yuritilora, without killing their teammates, will these people gradually wake up.

This group's schemes were intricately linked; once one link was solved, another appeared... They made people believe they had defeated the Radiant Mother and should go home, basking in the joy of victory. Then, they would exploit this feeling to lure people into a dream. By manipulating the game mechanics, they prevented Su Ming'an, the "player," from completing the final level and moving forward.

"Yuritilola, I extend a tower invitation to you!"

……

The "Tower Invitation" attempt failed.

Reason for failure: The opponent was not within sight.

……

Su Ming'an realized that the Yuritilora in front of him was fake. Yuritilora knew the players too well; how could she possibly give the Tower an invitation?

It doesn't matter. Yuritilola's dream can't be without a medium. As long as I break through the sky again, the dream can be broken.

"Please stop going!" a female voice suddenly rang out.

In the silent world, all living beings are asleep.

Only this sound resounded powerfully.

"Da, da, da."

Under the vast, boundless pink and white light, someone walked by.

She walked barefoot across the ground where people slept, without getting a speck of dirt on her.

Her eyes were filled with pain, and her long dress looked like flowing blood.

This scene is similar to, yet different from, Su Ming'an's Blood Dream at the beginning of Rovasa.

In the dream, it was Iguler who walked over, and the one I spoke to was the Magpie.

This time, it was Pudding who came over. The one speaking to her was Su Ming'an.

The sober one, Pudding.

She was the one who guided Su Ming'an through the beginning of the game in Rovasa, teaching him at the university, eating with him in the cafeteria, and teaching him the method of creation. She was like the village chief in a beginner's village, as patient as a "mother".

Fate took many twists and turns, but in the end, it was she who stood in front of him.

A former leader.

Our current enemy.

"Please, don't go any further." Pudding shook her head, her body radiating light like a dazzling magical girl. "The first time I met you was at Samantha University. Back then, you were an E-level Creator. I taught you what [Character Design] was, what [Creation] was, and how to create a high-scoring story..."

Su Ming'an slowly said, "Back then, you were intentionally guiding me... wanting me to create a story that would earn a high score from the World Tree."

Looking back now, everything seemed to have a clue.

“Now, you are an S-class creator, and even a first-class god… You have defeated the highest power of Rovasa, you have completed Rovasa’s history… You have done everything to the very end!” Pudding pleaded, “Please stop. As long as you swear to us that you will no longer pay attention to the Lord of Dreams, we will leave immediately and not interfere with you in the slightest. Whether it is the image of a supreme lord or the Lord of the End of All Things, we will no longer interfere—please lead humanity to happiness! Su Mingan.”

A cold blue light from the vast universe fell on Su Ming'an's forehead.

Pudding's goal is not to destroy humanity, but to use humanity as leverage to force Su Ming'an to stop paying attention to the Lord of Dreams and end the world game with humanity immediately.

Compared to the previous choice between staying on the shore or venturing into the sea, humanity's conditions are now far superior. They are no longer fleeing in panic, nor are they as fragile as paper. They can indeed move towards a bright and promising future.

Pudding appeared at just the right time, right at this critical juncture, begging Su Ming'an to give up.

“Now that I think about it…” Su Ming’an said slowly, “You mentioned the ‘Rovasa Ring’ from the very beginning.”

……

"However, Rovasa's story is more like a game than a novel; you could call it 'The Rovasa Ring,'" Pudding said.

……

At that time, there were already signs that the true name of the Lord of Dreams should be "Lord of Games".

Pudding was His manager, so he treated Rovasa like a game.

She was still looking at Su Ming'an, waiting for him.

Su Ming'an then raised his sword.

"—You still want to…" Pudding's words were drowned out by the sudden burst of sword light!

Su Ming'an did not back down.

He hadn't forgotten that the road still awaited him on the world's chessboard. He hadn't forgotten that Lu Shen had helped him time and time again, regardless of the risks. He hadn't forgotten that Hui Mo had cast aside himself and vanished into the shadows. He hadn't forgotten that Ming was still waiting. He hadn't forgotten... Xiao Ai's complex gaze, Noel's final smile, and the words of the Gray Mist Man.

No matter what's blocking his way, he can't stop, he won't stop.

"boom--!!!"

The space swept open, and Pudding's figure became transparent. She was the inheritor of the Blackwater Dream, and according to the rules, she could not interfere too much with this world. She could not fight Su Ming'an.

But she has her own forces under her command.

—Eight main characters.

As a "magical girl" who is awakened, she is the one who gave the eight protagonists a cheat code.

"Then let Rovasa's eight protagonists... try to stop you, this stubborn 'player'."

—A bright red figure came into view.

It is Alger who possesses the "Treasure Appraisal King System".

Alger has died at the Source Point; this was clearly a product of illusion.

"Don't insult the dead...!" Su Ming'an decisively pierced Alger's body.

Then came the second, third, fourth...

Tianyu, who possesses the "Magic and Martial Arts All-System Sign-in System"; Huizi, the sober one who possesses the "Lucky Koi Pet System"; and Bairan, who possesses the "Evil God's Lover"...

Aland, who possesses the "Time Spirit Mingrui"; Mizushima Kawakami, who possesses the "Portable Grandpa"; Shili, who possesses the "Farmer's Spiritual Spring"; and Shiying, who possesses the "Affection System"...

Auspicious light shines everywhere, the evil god's lover summons demonic energy, the spirit of time stirs up the flow of time, a personal old man unleashes a barrage of swords, a farmer's spring heals wounds, and an affection system disturbs the mind...

All of these abilities, which seemed incredibly miraculous to Rovasa in the early stages, meant nothing to Su Ming'an at this point.

—The luck of the koi fish darling is insignificant compared to his equipment, the "Lucky Angel's Four-Leaf Clover." The sword energy of the old man who wields him can't even break through his defenses. The Time Spirit can no longer influence him, and the favorability system can't even read his outward emotions.

The protagonist who was once all the rage and stirred up a storm, the protagonist envied by everyone in Rovasa, the protagonist who claimed to have "changed his destiny"... now can only be turned into a helpless puppet on a string, rushing towards the person who smashed the cat box.

"Shh!"

With a flash of sword energy, Bai Ran and the others were cut off and disappeared, while Su Ming'an's advance was unimpeded.

Mizushima Sora gently raised her head.

“Su Ming’an.” Her gaze was calm, his image reflected in her dark eyes.

Su Ming'an understood that Pudding didn't expect these people to stop her, but rather wanted to soften her heart.

The cheat system was a trap from the start; accepting it meant being manipulated by the person behind the scenes. If he had stopped earlier, Mizushima Sora could have lived in the small world with the cheat system until she ascended to a higher dimension and left… But now, Mizushima Sora has become an obstacle in his path.

If you want to move forward, step over these people yourself.

Otherwise, take peace and happiness back to the box.

“…” Su Ming’an did not respond. His relationship with Mizushima Kawakami was not harmonious, and now that she had become an obstacle, he would not show any mercy.

She attacked him several times, but he never killed her. Later, she still made significant contributions to humanity, saving many people in the final battle…

But now...

The moment the blade pierced her, he heard her voice:

"I...have come to my senses..."

“I almost killed you many times… Now it has been proven that I misunderstood you back then…”

"The most terrifying thing is... my obsession... Haru Mizushimakawa..."

"I saw her... in... the Blackwater Dreamland."

what?

Su Ming'an turned his head, but Mizushima Kawakami closed his eyes and collapsed.

She revealed the news about Mizushima Kawai Haru to him, but she still couldn't let go of her obsession.

Meeting Haru Mizushima in the Blackwater Dream had a profound impact on her. She even began to doubt whether her own obsession was wrong. Therefore, she hoped he would find the truth and move forward for the sake of humanity.

"Whoosh!" Su Ming'an turned his sword and pierced through Ailand.

Aland remained silent, only gazing at him with a quiet look, his eyes reflecting Su Ming'an as if Su Ming'an were a vibrant color in a black and white world.

Until the moment he was pierced, Alan coughed up blood and suddenly said:

"Nine thousand points..."

Su Ming'an looked at him.

The blond youth smiled at that moment, a smile he had never seen before... a radiant smile.

“Nine thousand points…nine thousand points now…” Aland murmured, “The Sea of ​​Immortality…don’t forget…the Sea of ​​Immortality…”

His body slowly disintegrated, his eyes fixed intently on Su Ming'an.

"I'll wait for you... I'll wait for you... a million times over..."

"This time, you can definitely do it..."

Su Ming'an closed his eyes, then opened them, and the sword blade flipped.

"—Don't worry about me." Ashley transformed into a white fox and soared into the sky. "As Xiaona's backup, I won't be controlled by Pudding. I can give up my protagonist identity... You go forward!"

Finally, it was Shi Ying.

Su Ming'an no longer needs to kill her. With the seven main characters gone, she becomes the final protagonist, the ultimate victor. The cheat system can no longer manipulate her to die, otherwise it would violate the rules Pudding herself originally set.

Su Ming'an's criteria were simple: there was no distinction between Rovasa and Zhai Xing humans. Mizushima Kawakami and Ailand had committed too many wrongdoings, so Su Ming'an would show no mercy. The others were either dead or had committed heinous acts, so Shi Ying was left as the last one.

Shi Ying gazed at him, at his radiant appearance.

Once upon a time, he was a stumbling player in the game of Disciple; now, he shines brightly and forges ahead without hesitation.

"Shi Ying, find a safe place!" Su Ming'an swept past her, flapping his wings and soaring into the sky!

—He left the vicinity of Rovasa's planet.

His pupils dilated, and he immediately turned around to look at the colorful planet.

The "lid" that should have been there does not exist.

He thought that as long as he punctured the "lid," he could wake up the sleeping people, but...

"This guy is really troublesome," came Su Lin's voice from the side.

Su Ming'an glanced to the side and saw that Su Lin had not fallen asleep either, and had followed. At their level, they were able to wake up on their own.

“Seeing the Supreme Lord can break this trap, but seeing the Supreme Lord requires the final image fragment, which is hidden within the trap itself… This creates a complete loop,” Su Lin said. “Unless you can be ruthless enough to kill them one by one to find the final image fragment, there is no solution.”

“Killing Eurydilora is also an option.”

“Euritilola shares similar ‘player’ traits with you,” Su Lin said. “She’s probably retreated back into the world game.”

The actions of this seventh seat holder were all too meticulous.

Su Ming'an and the others were able to rapidly grow stronger by virtue of their player status. Even the Seventh Seat had exploited the World Game's mechanics—players couldn't attack the organizers in the Main God World, so He returned to the World Game. As long as Su Ming'an remained a "player," he couldn't harm Him.

The World Game was originally a prison that confined Him, but He inadvertently turned it into a sanctuary.

“I won’t tell you to ‘give up.’ I know how difficult it has been for you to get this far. To stop at the final threshold… you must be unwilling to accept it,” Su Lin said. “But I also know that you can’t bring yourself to kill these people and step over their corpses to move forward. It’s one thing if they were willing, but you can’t do it willingly.”

Golden eyes looked over:

"Do you have any other ideas?"

It felt like a tram was coming straight at us.

The two stood at the crossroads, watching the "trolley" speed towards them.

Su Lin could see that Su Ming'an's soul was extremely thin at this moment... If the cosmic cycle truly couldn't restore the soul, it was unlikely that Su Ming'an would ever reach this point again. This time, it could only be the last.

There will be no second chance.

If they choose to stay here, it will be the end of the story. They can no longer act like players who repeatedly save and reload, hoping there will always be a next time.

“...There’s another way.” A hoarse voice came from behind.

Su Lin was taken aback; he hadn't expected Su Ming'an to actually have a solution. It turned out Su Ming'an was like a kaleidoscope, always surprising people, one solution after another.

He seems to never stop.

Su Ming'an looked in a certain direction and said:

"bright."

Tell me where 'that person' is.
