"All they care about is their mortgage, whether their children live in school district housing, and whether their boss is in a good mood today... How could they care about what's on the edge of the world? How could they see the truth in the control room?"

"Once people indulge in peace, their thoughts and lives become more and more rigid, and they will not pay attention to the vastness of the universe. They will naturally think that God is right."

"But your act of retrieving history has made many people begin to realize the truth. Your act of promoting the special medicinal rain in the name of the old gods has made people begin to rebel, and they have finally discovered that there are people from many eras who are parallel to them... This destruction is no longer silent. They have 'discovered' each other who are parallel."

"It's you who changed them, it's you who awakened them, it's you who made this world so intense, so...alive. It's no longer dead, all the vitality has been awakened."

His tone seemed to be speaking words of comfort, giving people the illusion that they were valued, but the topic suddenly changed -

"You are guilty of a heinous crime, Su Mingan."

"You made their death materialize. The frogs in the warm water began to rebel. Their death should have been silent, painless, and integrated in an instant."

"But you let them suffer the pain of war, the pain of being pierced by weapons and shells, the sorrow of having their wives and children separated and their elderly orphans left alone. You let them leave the city where order had long been stable and become wandering refugees, starving and with their loved ones displaced..."

"...You are guilty of a heinous crime, Su Mingan."

Although he was guilty of a heinous crime, there was no hatred on Su Wensheng's face, only sadness. His expression became more and more painful, and every word seemed to be stabbing his own throat.

…

[It seems like it shouldn't be like this before. The spring breeze and flowers should stay here, and there should be no gods above the sky.]

[I thought some people would raise objections, or at least think that we should recover our history, but under the dark sky, I only saw the silent majority.]

I don’t like the way the world is.

…

Su Mingan looked at Su Wensheng.

"So you are not loyal to the gods?" Su Mingan said, "Although you have always been in agreement with the gods, at this time, you are actually trying to persuade me not to merge. So you have always been playing cozy with the gods, right?"

He felt that this was the way it should be. Even if Su Wensheng turned evil, he certainly didn't want to obey the gods in his heart. It was more in line with his "personality" for him to be a spy who endured humiliation and bore heavy responsibilities. This was reasonable.

However, Su Wensheng shook his head.

"No. I do belong to the gods. Because I was once in despair and only the gods could save me, so I will work for them."

Su Mingan frowned.

"You don't have to think too highly of me, Su Mingan." Su Wensheng shrugged.

"'Su Wensheng' is just a 19-year-old high school student. How great can he be? If a 19-year-old youth suddenly said he wanted to save the world, suddenly became fully enlightened, never regretted his actions, and was selfless to a terrifying degree, do you think it is realistic?"

...It's reality.

Su Mingan thought to himself.

Reality doesn't need logic.

He is like that himself.

…

【Later, I got a ginger cat. The ginger cat always looked at me with a lazy look, as if it felt sorry for me.】

[After all, I know my thoughts are meaningless and I can't change anything. I'm just an ordinary person.]

…

"...Why are you telling me this information?" Su Mingan said.

Su Wensheng coughed, and bubbles appeared in his blood. He covered his abdomen to hide the messy wound, and blood spread out from between his fingers.

"I once buried a ginger cat and watched its fat body sink into the soil bit by bit," Su Wensheng said.

"I once called to ask about the situation of the person I risked my life to save, but I only heard a cold response."

"I once hit my own hands with a shovel, swallowed laundry detergent in a dark cell, was electrocuted until I begged for mercy, and was tortured and starved to the point of near death for days and nights."

"I once knelt down and begged the doctors to save Xiaoli's life, but in the end she went on the operating table just one day away from death, and not even a body was left."

"I begged again and again to leave my life to me, so that I wouldn't have to pin my hopes on people from another world. But what I encountered was the hail of bullets by the lake and the lies of the Godfather. The world has never been kind to me, but I finally woke up."

"At the last moment of my life, I did something different from the 'possibility' - unlike Su Wensheng who was drowned, I did not foolishly wait for death, I prayed to the gods."

"In the cold, dark lake, I closed my eyes and prayed because I was losing a lot of blood. I prayed, God, please save me, it's too cold here."

"At that moment, I opened my eyes, and saw the dark bottom of the lake filled with my blood. Except for the distant blue full moon in the sky, it was a hand of the gods reaching out, emitting a halo of light."

“He said, from now on I will no longer be powerless.”

…

[I slowly put down the phone. I suddenly felt that I had been drowning in the deep sea since I was born, sinking little by little, and never floating up.]

[For the first time, I felt that the world had finally defeated me.]

[I can’t help but question in my heart——]

…

"I became the right-hand man of the gods. The gods healed me, gave me strength, and gave me weapons. I broke through the bad ending of 'drowning in the lake'. I didn't foolishly close my eyes and wait for death at the bottom of the lake. I finally...extended the possibility of 'surviving' in the finalized ending." Su Wensheng's voice was breathy, and each word was pronounced clearly:
