The First Player

[If all of humanity places its hope in one person, will civilization fare well?]

"When you read this, the life-and-death game to redeem the planet has already begun."

"All o...

Final Chapter: Crossing the Sea [32] "Come back, come back, come back!"

After an unknown amount of time, the seeds that the god An had thrown before leaving slowly grew, sprouted, and produced new leaves.

It broke through the thick snow, grew against the wind, and became the only life on this dead planet.

"Swish." Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard.

A young man wearing a small crown and a white fluffy cloak came walking on the snow, his golden eyes calmly gazing at the sprouting seed.

He stared at the seeds for a long time, then sat down gently.

The boy stayed on this deserted Death Star.

He stayed there for an unimaginable number of years, until bacteria appeared under the sea, until reptiles appeared on land, until birds appeared in the sky again, until - the seed grew into a tree.

He took good care of the tree, and every time he came back, the abundant energy he brought would make the tree grow a lot taller, and speed up the development of the planet.

Until the tree finally developed self-awareness.

"Who are you?" a childish voice.

"I am..." The boy paused for a moment and said with a smile, "You can call me the Jellyfish King. I am the last survivor on this planet."

"Emperor Jellyfish, you take care of me, you are good." The tree said: "You are my good friend."

"Good friend..." Su Liujin nodded: "Yes, good friend."

Gradually, the tree grew taller and taller, and eventually took the shape of a human.

Su Liujin has been with the tree, and this dead planet is regaining its vitality. He often comes to the tree, bringing dinosaur scales, beautiful gems, and corals from the sea, all to the tree.

Gradually, Su Liujin became stronger and stronger. He began to be able to leave the planet, and even take the tree's consciousness with him, leaving only the tree's body in place.

Over the long years, they traveled the universe together, embarking on many interesting stories and interesting journeys. Every time he became stronger, Su Liujin would divide his gains equally, half to himself and half to the tree.

Su Liujin liked sweets, and they often used the leaves of the tree to make black tea, soaked it with sugar cubes, and sat together to drink the sweet tea.

“You haven’t given me a name yet,” said the tree.

"You have your own name, I just didn't tell you." Su Liujin said.

"Why?"

"You... come from the heart of an old friend. You are equivalent to his genes and have inherited a lot of things from him. Once I tell you your name, you will remember everything before he abandoned you." Su Liujin said.

"Isn't it good to remember?" said the tree.

"Of course, but you are in the growth period, so now is not the right time." Su Liujin smiled and said, "How about this, my life span can only reach about a thousand years at most. After a thousand years, I will tell you what happened before."

"good."

They visited many planets, many beautiful places, and many wonderful scenery.

On the day Su Liujin died, they returned to the already vibrant Luovasa, and Shu knew his name.

——"Su Ming'an".

He remembered that before he became the World Tree of the Small World, he left part of his consciousness in the World Tree Seed and abandoned it in Rovasha. Perhaps it was to give the Death Star hope of reviving, or perhaps it was to preserve a part of himself.

He stood under the World Tree in a white robe, turned around and looked at Su Liujin: "I remember now."

"Yeah." Su Liujin nodded without surprise: "I picked you up, and I gave you a lot of resources. You can live longer than me. You have become the new 'world' itself, and I am just an ordinary person."

"Why...are you doing this?" Shenming An said.

"I have only one request," Su Liujin said, "...wait until the Poincare Regression of the Universe begins again, and wait until the day your lifespan runs out."

Those golden eyes were silent and still:

"According to what I taught you, you can retain your memory and abilities in the Poincare Regression of the Universe..."

"Keep a piece of your own genes and stay here."

"This way, the next time the universe restarts, you will appear under the World Tree again in your true form."

"You will see the next 'you'. Remember, you have to stop him from doing things that hurt himself and make him only care about himself."

"Why do this?" asked Shenming An.

"Because..." Su Liujin said, "Once he starts sacrificing for others, he will live for a very long time. In the end, he will either become the World Tree, a higher dimension, or the organizer. Only in a few cases will he die immediately."

"You don't want 'me' to live longer?" Shenming An said.

Su Liujin shook his head:

"You can't live too long."

"Every time you live too long, your soul will experience a long lifespan. As the number of times increases, more and more adverse effects will always be left behind. You must minimize the residual effects of each time, then you can..."

He paused.

"... can lead everyone into the narrowest and freest path in the golden woods."

"I can also realize my ideal and make the ending of the Garden of Eden better."

"After all, you chose to retreat this time, you didn't hold my hand, you didn't find the image of the Supreme Lord, and there are still many problems in the Garden of Eden that have not been solved... I'm sorry."

The god An remained silent. He understood. If he wanted the most perfect ending, he must guide himself next time.

After all, this time, I have turned into the World Tree. This is a good ending, but it seems that I have not broken some invisible cycle.

What does it look like when the cycle is broken?
