Su Ming’an rembered the Prophecy Stone Wall he saw early yesterday morning.
Inside the Old Day Church’s cathedral—Xiao Jingsan had activated the Prophecy Stone Wall, and Su Ming’an, hidden behind a pillar, saw the prophecy upon it.
...
[Old Day Year 827, February 8th, Su Wensheng personally killed the first mber of the Dream Patrol Family.]
...
Today is indeed February 8th; the Prophecy Stone Wall was not wrong.
However, the most terrifying thing is—that for the previous round, this prophecy was incorrect. In the previous round, until February 9th at 1 PM, Su Wensheng never appeared. But in this round, on February 8th at 11 PM, the prophecy was fulfilled.
It was Su Ming’an who changed his decision in this round, sending Shadow to the edge of the world to rescue Chao Yan—leading to the fulfillnt of the prophecy that [Su Wensheng personally killed the first Dream Patrol Family mber].
This made Su Ming’an feel a choking sensation as if Destiny were being controlled.
...And Su Wensheng.
In the fifty oil paintings by the Fire Transmitter, Su Ming’an witnessed Su Wensheng’s death firsthand. At that ti, the blue full moon was exceptionally dazzling, and the passionate and unwilling young man fell into the lake. So Su Ming’an believed Su Wensheng was dead.
—But Su Wensheng had just killed Shadow.
Moreover, Su Wensheng was now unlike the sunny and cheerful young man in Su Ming’an’s mory.
Su Ming’an shifted his perspective. The Scarlet Bird had been following Shadow, and Su Ming’an could utilize the Scarlet Bird’s vision to observe the situation after Shadow’s death.
Chao Yan was battling the tentacled monster at the center of the ocean, unaware of Shadow’s death.
Shadow’s body was falling downward, nearly plunging into the sea. Su Wensheng reached out and caught Shadow’s body, retreating to the shore.
"... Lord Su!" From the shore ca so elder cries, as seven or eight elderly and middle-aged people erged. They were in suits, their skin well-maintained.
Su Ming’an imdiately recognized these individuals as the upper echelon of this world: Duke Noys of the Ahsente Kingdom, Alliance Hierarch Haiyis of the Small Nations Alliance, forr Councilman Lomiu of the Union Governnt, Deborah of the Law and Order Maintenance Departnt, and a few others he didn’t recognize, but who looked familiar as they were frequently seen on television.
...Why would these individuals of high rank and authority gather here in the middle of the night?
Su Wensheng quickly put on a black mask, turned his head, and smiled at them: "It’s already resolved."
The elders looked at the Shadow in Su Wensheng’s arms with surprise, exchanging several glances, unable to conceal their shock and delight.
They appeared to take joy in the death of the first Dream Patrol Family mber.
Deborah glanced at the Shadow in Su Wensheng’s arms, rubbed her hands, her expression a bit expectant: "Lord Su, it’s best to capture him alive. You’ve killed him, so there’s no more a continuous source of blood."
"Watch your words!" Lomiu reprimanded Deborah: "It’s fine as long as we’ve succeeded. The first Dream Patrol Family mber isn’t weak; if we did manage to capture him alive, controlling him would be difficult. The Eligibles’ flesh and blood would be effective even after death."
Noys spoke softly: "If alive, he could be treated like the Eldest Prince, with drugs and hallucinogens sealing his strength."
"There are still risks."
"What’s the point in discussing this when the person is dead."
A middle-aged man coughed: "Regarding the bill on the Lailuo Empire’s border mineral extraction, I contributed significantly, Duke Ezikel, this body division, is it not..."
"Let’s take it back first; discussing division here isn’t safe."
In their words and actions, they truly regarded Shadow not as a human hero but as livestock whose flesh and blood could be divided.
Haiyis, cloaked in a large cape, chuckled: "You really dared to take action; this was the first Dream Patrol Family mber."
She had heard long ago that so elders couldn’t wait to move against the first Dream Patrol Family mber, but she hadn’t expected they actually dared to enact it.
When the first Dream Patrol Family mber stood on the high platform and began to steer the world’s state of affairs, nurous hidden forces were dissatisfied, believers in Deity even viewed the first Dream Patrol Family mber as Heretics. As the Dream Patrol Family’s investigations deepened, they publicly narrated the stories of fifty Fire Transmitters before a worldwide broadcast, thoroughly infringing upon the upper echelon’s interests.
This was no longer dividing their cake; it was openly smashing their cake.
The upper echelon had repeatedly silently issued warnings to the Dream Patrol Family, but the investigations of the Dream Patrol Family showed no signs of stopping.
Led by Prince Misei of the Grand Duchy of Josef, the elders entrusted this powerful Lord Su from the Church to help them capture or even kill the first Dream Patrol Family mber.
Regarding the future of humanity’s ga progress after the Dream Patrol Family mber’s death?
It didn’t matter. They were old, with one foot already in the grave, unable to see the day humanity reclaid the land. It was better to divide the Eligibles’ flesh and blood, at least ensuring they lived a few more years. Compared to humanity’s destruction in the far future, it was better to live comfortably now.
As for those who supported the Dream Patrol Family or had foresight, they wouldn’t know of this extermination plan.
"It’s a pity; if you hadn’t been so stubborn to investigate things to the end, if you hadn’t insisted on telling the stories of the fifty Fire Transmitters... maybe you could have survived." Haiyis adjusted her cape. She looked at Shadow dead in Su Wensheng’s arms; the Golden Sword was already pulled from Shadow’s chest, the flowing blood sealed at the heart area, with the surrounding shattered gaps and white bone clearly visible.
The high echelon would have been willing to honor him as the Savior, willing to grant him flowers, glory, and a good na. As long as he smoothly cleared the Dream Patrol ga, sitting on a throne of gold foil, enjoying admiration and praise, he would beco a Lighthouse-like symbol in people’s eyes. He could live in glory for a lifeti.
But he obstinately sought to interfere with the concealed history of nations with his identity as the first Dream Patrol Family mber, going against the Oracle, threatening the lives of Kings and the upper echelon.
—Unfortunately, they could not let him remain.
"Is there really no problem? The first Dream Patrol Family mber is dead; what if the Dream Patrol ga’s progress gets stuck..." Gu Mingyong from the World Society was a bit worried, although he had participated in the extermination plan, seeing the corpse of the Dream Patrol Family mber, he panicked.
"The plot of ’Louyue Nation’ is basically finished. The ’Girl Dream Project’ has yet to show much activity until now; there will soon be new gas appearing; soone else will surely replace his position." Deborah adjusted her glasses: "The Profilers repeatedly conducted psychological analysis on the first Dream Patrol Family mber; he’s soone who hates Evil and acts as he pleases. And we—"
Under his glasses was a shadow of indulgence: "In his words, we are a group of ’maggots on the lamb,’ do you think—that when his investigation deepened further, he would spare us?"
"Just one of his speeches can make the whole world focus, with the internet overnight filled with billions of posts cursing us."
"The cara on his shoulder can easily break our barriers, shining people’s eyes into every corner."
"A nineteen-year-old boy, filled with passion, simply doesn’t understand that so issues cannot be investigated, so truths must remain undisclosed, and certain people must never be punished."
"He violated the Rules and disrupted Order, thus he should disappear."
"Regarding his previous achievents, I feel sorry. Given ti, he truly might have beco the Savior in the eyes of humanity."
"But, I don’t want to witness the day we are utterly defeated. Decisiveness is necessary to avoid greater harm—in all secret warnings given to him, sadly, he never listened."
Every era of change brings many to high positions, and many fall into the mire. If the First Dream Patrol Family continues to investigate, those who fall into the mire and find it difficult to rise again will clearly be them.
Tonight, the First Dream Patrol Family left the live broadcast voluntarily, so if he had an accident, it would be quite normal.
Haiyis admired these people’s decisiveness and cruelty. However, she herself has no stand to despise others. She belongs to the Small Nations Alliance and must gain recognition from these people to compete for minerals and living space in this chaotic world. Therefore, the best way is for everyone to stain their hands with blood and be forced to fall into the sa line.
They moved further away from the coast, and the Scarlet Bird silently followed them.
They talked about the division of blood and flesh, extrely excited between their words and actions, as if they could achieve immortality starting today.
"..."
Su Ming’an dared not underestimate the evil of mankind.
Unfortunately, the one with the identity of an Eligible was not Shadow, but Su Ming’an. This group was destined to gain nothing.
At this mont, Su Wensheng looked up, just in ti to et the eyes of the Scarlet Bird in the sky.
In Su Ming’an’s perspective, it was as if Su Wensheng suddenly t his gaze.
The next mont, a golden light shot out from Su Wensheng’s hand, striking the Scarlet Bird thousands of ters away, severing its surveillance.
"...Xiao Jingsan," Su Ming’an said.
"Hmm?" Xiao Jingsan poked his head out.
"As soon as the First Tower opens, imdiately take to the edge of the world," Su Ming’an said.
He didn’t care about these money-grubbing people. This is a battle between him and deities; these high-level people were just clowns.
All he cared about was Su Wensheng. Is this Su Wensheng real or fake?
At midnight, the First Tower opened.
The three brain-damaged angels appeared again. This ti, when the Light Angel was about to judge Queen Blanche, Su Ming’an directly sat on the Tretiya chanical wheelchair, charged into the sky, and ramd the Light Angel, wheelchair and all.
"You—you re mortal, dare—" The Light Angel dodged the wheelchair in shock and anger, issuing an instant death judgnt on Su Ming’an. The next mont, just like the previous loop, the Light Angel was killed by the rules.
People gazed in shock at Su Ming’an in the sky.
Everything proceeded just like the previous loop, the people of Louyue Nation descended upon the world, and Zou Yuqing ca to ask Su Ming’an for an alliance.
"Sure, I’ll form an alliance with you," Su Ming’an said.
Zou Yuqing was slightly stunned, chuckled, and said, "Then how should I address you? Should I call you... Lord Deity?"
"Just call Su Rin."
"So, Su Rin, what’s our first step?" Zou Yuqing asked.
Su Ming’an’s instant death rule was "To those who lie, grant them equal death," while Zou Yuqing’s instant death rule was "To those who admit to being disciples before , grant them equal death." Working together, whether the enemy answered "yes" or "no," it would result in a sure kill.
"I want to go to the edge of the world." Su Ming’an looked up, "Want to go with ?"
"Sure." Zou Yuqing’s fox-like eyes moved. She leaned over and sat on Su Ming’an’s wheelchair armrest. Xiao Jingsan followed closely, sitting on the other armrest. They hung on either side of the wheelchair like two pieces of cured at.
Su Ming’an started the wheelchair, which sped towards the edge of the world.
Zou Yuqing was looking down at her phone, a passerby had given it to her. She was scrolling through it, absorbing knowledge of all kinds. In her ancient perspective, this modern world was full of novelty.
"Well... your world is truly interesting, quite different from Louyue Nation." Zou Yuqing looked at her phone, "What is ’Coser’? Why do people pretend to be from Louyue Nation?"
She pointed at the phone screen, which showed a group of cosplayers dressed as people from Louyue Nation.
"Because they like you guys," Xiao Jingsan said.
"What is this two-dinsional world? Why do so people online claim they belong to it?" Zou Yuqing encountered another new term.
"I know! The two-dinsional world is the downgrade dinsion of the three-dinsional world, it’s paper people!" Xiao Jingsan raised his hand to answer.
"Oh, I see, that’s really interesting," Zou Yuqing said.
"I rember the Lord Angel is also two-dinsional," Xiao Jingsan said.
Su Ming’an couldn’t be bothered with these two. Zou Yuqing was like a curious little sparrow, asking about everything.
"In Louyue, we usually communicate by letter and talisman. If the distance is far, it takes three days to communicate. This ’Penguin Space’ is very convenient; just post, and all close ones can see it." Zou Yuqing discovered sothing new again, "However, one letter is enough; why does this person’s ’Penguin Space’ post dozens of tis daily? Could there be hidden codes?"
"Maybe this person is two-dinsional," Xiao Jingsan said.
"And this little butterfly and fractured brow, what are they? Are they unique creatures of this present world? What about this Dream Girl?" Zou Yuqing kept discovering new things, "And these websites... sir, why do I see soone writing about your romantic entanglents with dozens of n and won? Are these stories true? Are you really so promiscuous?"
Su Ming’an: "...No."
Zou Yuqing covered her mouth and laughed, "I suppose these are your present world’s ’talk books,’ crafting romantic falsehoods for entertainnt."
Su Ming’an: "...Yes."
Zou Yuqing had another new discovery: "And these lettered fan arts are..."
Su Ming’an: "..."
...
At one o’clock, the wheelchair reached the edge of the world.
Su Ming’an imdiately searched for Su Wensheng’s trace. The footprints in the yellow sand were gone, and there was no one around.
He could feel the enormous pressure of the tentacled monster in the ocean’s center. As early as in Louyue Nation, Su Ming’an encountered a tentacled monster by the sea, which he couldn’t fight against.
Now it seems—at the edge of each world, there should be a tentacled monster, guarding the edge of worlds, preventing people from entering other worlds.
