Dixia let out an "ah," obediently closed the door, and then sat down at the table.
Seeing the man she had been longing for day and night actually appear before her, Dixia felt an unprecedented sense of embarrassment.
She recalled the scene from her past life when her memories were altered, and how she took action against him to protect the stragglers.
Dixia took a deep breath, suppressing her embarrassment, and asked, "Did you look for me?"
"Well, I need your help with something."
"As payment, after this is over, I can help you destroy the 'Legacy of the God-King'."
"What are you going to do?" Dixia asked warily.
She couldn't imagine what she could do to help Lin Jiu'an given his abilities.
Most importantly, the dream was rather bizarre, and seeing Lin Jiu'an at this moment led Dixia to a bizarre and bold guess.
—Could the anchor of this dream be not Nilu, but Lin Jiu'an?
"Judging from your expression, you must know what I did in those three countries, right?"
Dixia gave a complicated smile.
Speaking from my heart.
Since her 'rebirth', she has been suffering day and night.
She hated the feeling of knowing everything that was going to happen in the future, but being unable to make any changes because of her own strength and ability, and having to watch those things happen helplessly.
Not only that.
She was not only unable to respond to the disaster in any way.
They even had to be careful not to do anything that might alert the Fools and the Sages.
If they suspect I might know something and try to force me to reveal my past life...
all in all.
Seeing Lin Jiu'an in this dream world where something strange had happened, Dixia finally relaxed for the first time since her rebirth. Although she didn't know how strong the man in front of her was, she always felt reassured that as long as he came, all problems could be solved.
But she also felt uneasy.
She always felt that the man in front of her might do something drastic.
"You've caused such a commotion, it's impossible for me not to know even if I wanted to."
"Since you know, I'll just tell you the truth."
"I created this dream. I created it to play a game, to give them the right to choose again..."
After recounting his 'game,' Lin Jiu'an smiled and looked at Dixia.
"In my world, there is only black and white, enemies and friends."
Simply put, there are only two factions in this game.
"So, Desia, are you planning to join my side and become my friend, or my enemy?"
It's unclear whether it was because of the potentially terrifying ending of that 'game' or because of Lin Jiu'an's somewhat dangerous smile.
Dixia felt a chill.
Dixia looked to Nilu for help, hoping she could persuade her to 'simplify' things, but all she got was an apologetic smile of helplessness and Nilu's lowered head, unwilling to look at her.
"What if I say no?"
"I will kill you."
Lin Jiu'an said something terrifying, but then laughed: "Of course, you don't need to be afraid."
"This is just a dream. Even if I kill you, you won't really die. It's just to prevent you from interfering with the game."
"We're friends, after all. In your past life, you even attacked me for 'my' sake, so it seems we have a pretty good relationship. Therefore, I certainly won't kill you, don't worry."
"What if they make a choice you don't want?" Desia asked the ship boy.
Lin Jiu'an smiled again, but that radiant smile was terrifying to Dixia.
"What do you think?"
Chapter Two: Skirmishers/Ceremony/Questions (4K)
Noticing the light in front of him, the stragglers suddenly opened their eyes.
They cautiously observed their surroundings.
It was a large and bright bedroom. Bright sunlight streamed through the window and the curtains that didn't completely block out the sunlight, falling onto the bed, beneath which was a soft double bed.
But seeing all this, the stragglers couldn't help but frown.
"This is where?"
Wasn't he busy creating the "opportunity of true godhood" in the "doctor's" laboratory?
We've just reached a crucial step.
The sages of the Order of the Fathers used the power of the Heart of the Grass God to construct a vast dream.
The specific plan is to use the Void Terminal to gather all the Sumeru beings in the dream who wear the Void Terminal into the Great Dream. Their original dreams, having lost their protagonists, become ownerless dreams and are absorbed by the Void to replenish their power.
As the day ends, the dream ends, and the ownerless dream is completely absorbed.
Another day begins, and countless new, ownerless dreams begin to emerge.
This creates a continuous dream factory, where they rely on the power of the Grass God's Heart and the Void Terminal to continuously absorb the power of dreams, thereby further perfecting the "God of the Right Machine".
"Was it Lin Jiu'an who did this?"
The stragglers have heard that that damned Lin Jiu'an has already arrived in Sumeru.
The "Dark Star" is currently docked in Ormos Harbor.
The merchant named Dolly seemed to have been instructed by Lin Jiu'an to suddenly help the sages of the Order Academy distribute the Void Terminals. However, since the "core" of the Void Terminal—the Heart of the Grass God—was in their hands, they had nothing to worry about.
No matter how strange Lin Jiu'an's abilities are.
Could we possibly steal the energy of a helpless dream from those who hold the "core" of dreams?
But this dream...
Isn't something a little off?
The soldier's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
He didn't remember that the dream required him, the "master" of the "God of Righteousness," to participate in it as well.
It stands to reason.
He should be absorbing the energy of dreams within the incomplete "God of the Righteous Mechanism" at this moment.
Moreover, in the memories Nasita gave him.
The dream from their past life was indeed as they planned, except that it involved the Sumeru Man, and he was in the "Doctor's" laboratory, completing the "God of the Right Machine," right?
"Could it be that Nasita deliberately lied to me?"
"She felt she couldn't escape my and 'The Doctor's' pursuit on her own."
"Are you trying to buy time until Lin Jiu'an arrives?"
Just as the stragglers were pondering, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" the stragglers asked coldly.
"Lord A-Mao, it's me."
A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, came from outside the door.
Upon hearing that voice and the title 'Lord Hat'...
The stragglers were taken aback.
I feel like I've forgotten something, but then I remember something else, and for a moment I can't even remember what I was thinking.
"Come in," the soldier replied instinctively.
The door was opened gently.
A young waiter walked in through the door, followed by several maids and servants.
Looking at the waiter's familiar yet unfamiliar face, the soldier felt his mind go blank for a moment, and then memories flooded in like a tide.
"Lord Hatao."
"You can't stay in the room any longer."
"Today is the 'Birthday Festival of the Flower Goddess,' as we've mentioned before."
"As our hero of Sumeru, you said you would appear before the public as soon as possible..."
Listening to the man's rambling words, the soldier felt his memories becoming clearer and clearer.
After a while, his eyes brightened again, and the confusion and wariness in his eyes completely disappeared.
He remembered.
He no longer goes by the name "Sanbing".
After Inazuma forced that slippery, mud-like creature out of existence by slaughtering the people of the small fishing village where he once lived.
After taking the Heart of Thor from Lin Jiu'an.
He then rebelled against the multitude of fools.
Later, they joined forces with the "Doctor" in Sumeru and began the "God of the Right Mechanism" plan.
The plan went smoothly.
Although Lin Jiu'an, that persistent ghost, somehow escaped from Inazuma, chased after Sumeru, and carried out a series of actions to sabotage their plans, most of which were successful, it was already too late.
The God of the Right Machine's plan was a success!
He became a new god, possessing power comparable to that of the gods!
only.
Even if one becomes a god.
In the end, however, he was still unwilling to accept defeat at the hands of the combined forces of Lin Jiu'an, Ying, and Naxida.
Just when he thought he was going to die.
Lin Jiu'an, who wanted to kill him.
Just before he was about to defeat and kill Lin Jiu'an after going through so much trouble, and at his weakest moment, "Doctor" took advantage of the situation and captured Lin Jiu'an.
then.
He then realized that the "Doctor" and his so-called "God of the Right Machine" plan and the creation of a god were all just a facade.
The "Doctor's" true purpose was never to turn him into a god, but to seize Lin Jiu'an, a special being who could absorb various elemental forces for his own use, and to make him conduct experiments that would allow him to go further.
Also.
The Doctor himself is already so powerful.
Why would he go to the trouble of creating a 'god' weaker than himself?
After figuring all this out, something even more unexpected happened to him when Ying left to chase after "Doctor" in order to save Lin Jiu'an.
The only remaining Nasita, that foolish god, actually forgave him?!
They even allowed him to go to the center of the World Tree.
Although Lin Jiu'an and Ying were lured away by the "Doctor," and she was also injured.
But the other party's stupidity, naivety, and saintly nature still opened his eyes.
At the heart of the World Tree, he discovered the truth behind the Tamasamura Disaster—the executor "Doctor" disguised himself as Escher and orchestrated the Tamasamura Disaster. He killed Niwa, dug out her heart, and inserted it into a device to protect himself, who was still a "Kabuki" at the time, from the demonic filth of the furnace. He then gradually tricked Niwa into leaving Inazuma and joining the Fools.
He understood that Nasita probably wanted to use him.
But in this process.
He discovered that he could change history by interfering with the World Tree.
Although he was quite angry at what the "Doctor" had done, he understood even more that once he left Sumeru and left the protection of that fool Narcida, even if the "Doctor" didn't go after him, his former enemies would probably find him and tear him to pieces.
