God's Law

Gu Lin stared at the boy blankly, his big eyes clear and ignorant. He looked for a long while, then raised his hand and patted his forehead.

Boy: “”

Gu Lin blinked his eyelashes and said naively: "Who are you then? How come you have the same name as me and look like my brother? Are you my brother's younger brother?"

Then, he frowned again, "But my brother only has one brother, Zizi!"

Boy: “…”

The boy was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "What's your brother's name?"

Gu Lin: "My brother's name is Gu Yuan."

It seems that this is really not his brother. Otherwise, it would be fine if he didn't recognize him, but how could he not even know his own name?

The young man said: "Then I will be called Gu Yuan for the time being."

After saying this, the young man was stunned.

Why did he have to change his name on the spot when he met his childhood self?

Gu Lin's eyes widened, and he rushed over again, hugged the boy, and whined, "Baby, you know you are my brother!"

He raised his little face and looked at Gu Yuan who had changed his name at the scene, "Is my brother playing hide-and-seek with my son?"

Gu Yuan: “…”

This isn't called hide and seek.

Gu Yuan was too lazy to explain. He hadn't fully understood the current situation yet.

But he was certain that the little kid in front of him was himself as a child, who appeared here for some unknown reason.

Moreover, he never remembered having an "older brother" when he was a child. Now it seems likely that that "older brother" was himself when he grew up.

My grown-up self became my younger self's older brother

When did this happen?

So far, this has not happened, which means that at some time in the future, he may travel back in time and adopt his childhood self as an older brother.

Regardless of why he put it back on, looking at Gu Lin in front of him, he was plump and white, and seemed to be more nutritious and healthier than when he was a child.

Gu Yuan turned his attention back to the skeleton in front of him.

After Gu Lin confirmed that this was his brother, he moved closer to Gu Yuan, holding Gu Yuan's arms with his two short hands and leaning his little head on his brother's arm.

Gu Yuan's body stiffened slightly, and he looked down at the smaller version of himself.

He doesn't like to have too much contact with people, even his childhood self.

But he did not push Gu Lin away. It was just that he did not remember that he was so clingy when he was a child.

Gu Lin said: "Brother, who is this big skeleton?"

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "The dying god, the creator of the game."

This god had died long ago, no one knew when; he had died before he even existed.

Maybe it was dead before the game even existed.

Gu Yuan guessed that this game was only maintained by the remaining soul of the god. Once this soul dissipated, the game would be closed, and He would completely disappear and cease to exist.

Similar to the extinction of a star, even if the star has already died and fallen, we can still "see" it hanging in the sky, and it will take a long time for it to disappear.

The protective suit on Gu Yuan was purchased from the system mall and was very smart. He stretched out his hand, and the fingers that were originally wrapped in the protective suit were exposed in mid-air, with slender and even knuckles.

He touched the god's bones.

Gu Lin stood obediently beside his brother, his little face as pale as snow.

The next second, perhaps it was Gu Yuan's touch that triggered some mechanism or key, and the skeleton in front of him emitted an even stronger fluorescent light, which became brighter and brighter, even a little dazzling.

Even through the protective masks of their helmets, Gu Yuan and Gu Lin couldn't help but close their eyes and raised their hands to cover their eyes.

The light lasted for a minute, and soon disappeared and dimmed again.

Gu Yuan put down his arms and opened his eyes.

Gu Lin also put down his hands and looked at the skeleton in front of him in surprise.

Words appeared in the air, and they were familiar characters to them. Perhaps the gods had discovered that the two people in front of them were Chinese.

【Who are you】

He said "you" instead of "you all" because He saw that these two people were originally the same person.

Gu Yuan looked at the words in the void and said, "Gu Lin, a player."

Gu Lin tilted his head and said, "Why did my brother forget to introduce himself?"

Text: 【It’s you. 】

The words appeared, and then like quicksand, they gradually dissipated.

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, he didn't understand.

He didn't know much about the creator of this game. As everyone knew, this creator had no concept of children, so neither the game players nor the NPCs had cubs.

But he was pulled into the game when he was a cub.

Gu Yuan guessed that it was very likely that Gu Lin was the only cub in the game.

Gu Yuan has completed all the copies. This is the ultimate copy of the game, the last copy.

Complete the game and any wish will come true.

Text: [Do you have any wish?]

Gu Yuan has been an orphan since childhood, without a father or a mother, and without any ties. He is a auspicious beast, but has no other kind.

He has no wishes.

But now, facing this terrifying skeleton of a god so huge, Gu Yuan suddenly smiled.

He knew what he wanted.

Text: [I understand. 】

The reason why God is God is that He possesses omnipotent power.

He exists beyond time and space, and He can see the past, present and future.

Gu Yuan did not express his wish and said nothing, but the gods knew everything.

And He is just a god who died at some unknown time and is returning to chaos.

Text: [Perhaps, if I had known you from the beginning, I would not have allowed myself to fall into silence. 】

Gu Yuan was stunned, his heart was touched, and he said in silence: "Are you saying that you indulged yourself to die? If you can use the word 'die' to describe it."

This is a "suicidal" god.

Suicide is quick for humans, but for a god, it is a rather long process.

Even after death, the soul consciousness of hundreds of millions of years will remain.

Death is not the real extinction, but oblivion is.

As the last god, Qi Yuan was not remembered by anyone before he died.

He was already dead.

He exists alone, just exists.

Just like countless stars, no, lonelier than stars, at least there are so many stars in the universe.

But in His universe, He is the last star and the only star.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the little boy Gu Lin, listening to his brother talk was like listening to a foreign book. He was illiterate and could not understand the words that appeared in the void.

Gu Lin scratched his head. He was wearing a helmet and his hand touched the helmet.

Gu Lin was confused: "Brother, who are you talking to? Are you talking to my son?"

He jumped on his feet to show that he was still alive and kicking. "The baby is not dead. He can still run and jump."

Gu Yuan: “.”

Before Gu Yuan could figure out how to explain to the kid, another line of text appeared in front of him. Even though it was just words, it seemed a bit ridiculous: [Oh, sorry, I forgot you can't read and write yet. 】

As the line of words disappeared, an image of a person gradually condensed in the void, like a projection, and stood in front of Gu Lin and Gu Yuan.

But this image was of a child, the same height as Gu Lin, with delicate features, cold eyebrows and eyes, and cold white skin.

It is exactly the image of Qi Yuan.

Gu Lin’s eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Qi Yuan who suddenly appeared in disbelief.

"Brother A Yuan!"

He ran forward and tried to pull Qi Yuan, but his little hand passed through the shadow in front of him and he couldn't touch him.

"Huh?"

Gu Lin spread out his little hands, but his hands were wrapped in protective clothing. His face was confused and he didn't know what was going on.

Qi Yuan said: "Hello, cub."

The tone was as if they were meeting for the first time. Although I recognized him, I didn't feel as familiar as before.

Gu Lin tilted his head: "Brother Yuan, why can't I touch you?"

Qi Yuan bent his lower lip: "Because you and I don't belong to this time and space."

Gu Lin was even more confused.

Gu Yuan is so smart that he has figured out the cause and effect.

His self in this timeline, while clearing the "God's Law" dungeon, encountered a skeleton of a god and got to know a god who allowed himself to die because of loneliness, who was also the creator of the game.

But he thought, maybe he didn't want Qi Yuan to disappear.

However, at this moment, the god is already dead, and extinction is his inevitable end.

But……

He has one more wish, doesn't he?

Gu Yuan said: "What if I say that my wish is that I don't want you to disappear?"

Qi Yuan looked at Gu Yuan, his words were crisp but his tone was heavy: "But the me now was already dead billions of years ago."

"What remains now is just a trace of soul consciousness from billions of years ago."

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

It is true.

Gu Yuan said: "What if I, as a child, enter the game and get to know you as a child?"

Qi Yuan was stunned.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyelashes slightly, sighed softly, and said in a very light tone: "I have wanted to own a star since I was a child."

Qi Yuan: “…”

Gu Yuan's fingers were exposed the whole time. He stroked Gu Lin's little head through his helmet: "When I was little, I always thought it was cool to be friends with the stars!"

If I had known Qi Yuan when I was a child, I would have definitely run over to him.

And just now, when Gu Lin saw Qi Yuan, he immediately ran over to pull him, which proved this point.

Gu Lin's eyes sparkled, and he raised his little hand and said, "So does my son. My son likes little stars the most. My son also wants a star friend!"

As he spoke, he held Qi Yuan's hand tentatively, knowing that he couldn't touch Qi Yuan, so he just held it tentatively.

"Brother Ayuan is Zaizai's star friend!"

Qi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Gu Lin's baby voice: "Brother Yuan only has Zaizai as his friend. Without Zaizai, Brother Yuan would have no friends at all!"

Qi Yuan: “…”

Gu Yuan just chuckled.

Yes, this is indeed my childhood self.

What is certain now is that letting my younger self get to know the younger Qi Yuan has already happened, just in another time and space.

Qi Yuan looked at Gu Lin and said, "Baby, don't you want to see your mother?"

When Gu Lin heard this, he did not answer for a moment, but looked up at his brother with anticipation in his eyes.

Gu Yuan took out a glass bottle from the system backpack. In the bottle, golden roses were blooming and butterflies were dancing.

Flower of hope.

Gu Lin recognized it immediately and said in surprise: "The Flower of Hope that Aunt Skeleton gave to my son!"

Gu Yuan: “…”

What a skeleton aunt.

The flower of hope comes from the Skeleton Girl. When I was a kid, I actually called a boy "Auntie"

Well, it's certainly something he can do.

Gu Lin was puzzled: "Why are you here with my brother?"

Gu Yuan said: "9527 gave it to me."

Gu Lin's eyes widened: "9527

How does my brother know about my little system?"

Because 9527 is also his system.

He had the same system at different times.

Gu Yuan looked at Qi Yuan: "9527, what does it mean?"

"9527?"

Qi Yuan paused and said, "The diameter of the universe."

952.7 billion light years.

That is the diameter to which His universe has currently expanded.

When it reaches 100 billion light years, He will completely return to nothingness.

In order to distinguish the elder brother from the baby, the elder brother will still be called Gu Yuan for the time being.

Death is not the real extinction, but oblivion is. ——"Coco"
