Chapter 76
Someone who was well-informed in the Holy Spirit Medicine Society dug up and turned the entire site of the medicine society upside down, and finally found the entrance to the laboratory. However, he found that he could not open the locked door no matter what he did.
Jiang Zhulang released information about the effects of "Microstar". The attention that was originally focused on the strange spores and magic potions shifted to "Microstar". As expected, as Roshia said, he was hailed as "the greatest alchemist in the history of Nidos Continent" by everyone, hoping to use Microstar earlier.
"Ding——The main mission has been completed, and the system permissions are being unlocked——"
"Permission unlocking completed."
Watching Luo Xia deal with batch after batch of wealthy nobles holding materials and gold coins who came to visit for "Microstar", the system in Jiang Zhulang's mind spoke.
It continuously flashed with a devilish and blinding rainbow-colored glare, leaving bright burn marks on his retina.
Jiang Zhulang waited for a long time, looking forward to what would happen after the permissions were unlocked. As a result, half an hour passed and still nothing happened.
Jiang Zhulang:?
He twitched his lips and picked up the teacup filled with expensive tea that cost thousands of dollars to hide his stiff expression.
"System, didn't you say that your permissions were unlocked? Why do they look the same as before?"
Oh, the only difference is that the system has finally opened the forum section again.
The system's voice sounded, and compared to the cold, mechanical sound before, it now sounded more like a human. The adult male voice with just the right amount of icy coolness said slowly: "Now, whatever the host wants to ask, the system can answer you."
Jiang Zhulang's Mosuo chin, how should I put it, I always feel that this voice is very subtle, very familiar, just like...
"Lan Nuo, these people are so annoying!" Luo Xia complained with a hint of grievance. Without his disguise, he should have looked terrifying, but Jiang Zhulang had a hallucination of a pitiful dog with its eyes drooping.
"If they don't want to see it, then don't see it. If they want MSI, then let them wait..."
Jiang Zhulang opened his mouth, and his voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared vaguely.
He suddenly discovered that the system's voice was so similar to his own, even identical - it was not a smaller version of himself, the protagonist "Lan Nuo" in the comic world, but himself in the real world.
Somehow, this discovery made him feel inexplicably panicked.
Jiang Zhulang casually said to Luo Xia that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, then quickly walked back to his room and locked the door.
He had many questions he wanted to ask, and after thinking for a long time, the first question he asked was:
"What are you?"
The system replied: "I am the savior system, but at the same time, I am also a tool created by you and in charge of the operation of this world."
"With my own hands?" Jiang Zhulang took a breath. "How could I possibly have such great ability to create such a thing? Then what would I become, a creator god?"
Wait, as a comic book writer, in a sense, it seems that he might really be...
"Yes, you are the God of Creation. Everything on the entire Nidos continent exists because of your will."
Jiang Zhulang:?!
What, he is really the God of Creation?!
If it were the fourteen-year-old Jiang Zhulang, no matter if he knew he was the savior or the creator god, he would be so excited that he would be at a loss, full of middle school enthusiasm, and determined to build a beautiful alien world. But the problem is that he is no longer the fourteen-year-old him.
Now, when he heard the news, he just felt it was ridiculous.
"Why am I the God of Creation? Is it because I am a comic book author? According to you, every author is the God of Creation? Then why can I only enter the continent of Nidos and not the world of those comic books in the past?"
The series of questions he raised were answered by the system one by one.
"Not every author will become a creator. In every big world, there is a very small chance that someone with the power of creation will be born. The reason why it is you is because you are the lucky one who is born with the power of creation in the big world of 'Blue Star'."
"However, a person with authority does not necessarily become the creator god. If he/she does not create anything in his/her lifetime, then he/she will not become the creator god of the small world."
"At the same time, the conditions for becoming a creator are very demanding. In addition to creating works full of passion and love, you must also have a certain amount of attention from this big world. Only in this way can you successfully create a world. You can enter the Nidos continent and become the creator of the continent, rather than other comic worlds, because in your works, only the world of Nidos continent has received attention."
Just a few words hurt Jiang Zhulang countless times.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "You call being cyberbullied attention?"
System: "Attention is attention, there is no good or bad."
What the system said was exactly the same as the time when he first fell asleep. He, who had the power to create the world, threw countless comics onto the street until he was bullied online and received a large number of clicks, discussions, and attention. Only then was the Nidos continent created, and he was able to enter this world.
Can……
"Then why would I die? As the God of Creation, shouldn't I be invincible?" Thinking of his first dream experience, Jiang Zhulang couldn't help but recall the moment his throat was cut.
He touched his neck unconsciously and asked.
I always feel that I, the God of Creation, am not very cool. Not only can I die, but I can't change the plot at will. Not to mention, even the system, the so-called tool he created to control the world, can throw me into an illusion at a disagreement. I was almost addicted to it and couldn't wake up.
——Which creator god is as stupid as him?
"As the creator god, you are only a consciousness invested in this world. How can you die? True death is when the body also dissipates."
Jiang Zhulang: That makes a lot of sense. He couldn’t even refute it.
"What do you think the God of Creation is? Is he the one who can change the world upside down and do whatever he wants? Or is he the one who has the final say and can change the fate of all creatures at will? The moment this small world was created and operated independently, it already had its own set of rules for operation. In layman's terms, it is the 'plot'. Everything in it will develop according to the arrangement of the 'plot'."
"As the God of Creation, you can personally participate in changing the fate of creatures after entering the world, but the underlying logic of the 'plot' will not change. And when you leave the world and return to the big world 'Blue Planet' where you were born, the authority of creation is suppressed, and you can no longer change your fate."
No wonder... he was able to change the fate of Roshia's disability in the continent of Nidos, but he was unable to change the fate of the village being massacred after returning to reality.
The so-called suicide rollback is not only a way to protect himself, but also a way to change the fate of the "plot", but this change is also limited.
At the beginning of the comic creation, he set the main plot - the protagonist "Lan Nuo" defeated the people in the secret laboratory and became the savior, which would not be changed no matter what.
Therefore, he would bind such a 'savior system'. Therefore, although he is the most elite, intelligent and talented potion master in the entire continent, and has conducted at least 8,000 experiments, Jeff and his people's methods of placing and isolating potions and rapidly contagious spores are so crude and casual.
Jiang Zhulang found that all his previous countless doubts had been answered.
"Well, I have one last question. The main quest is over, and the comic is about to end. What will happen to this world? Can I stay here forever?"
The system was silent for a while, then replied: "After the main storyline ends, this world will gradually transform from the small world you created into an independent world that operates independently without interference and can independently generate history and creation. Many years later, perhaps the next person with the power to create the world will be born in this world."
"As the God of Creation, you cannot walk on the continent forever, even if you invest your consciousness there. After about a month, your consciousness will be rejected, and you will eventually no longer be able to enter the world of Nidos Continent, nor will you be able to interfere with the fate of creation."
Less than a month? How could this happen? Wasn't he the God of Creation? Why couldn't he stay in the world he created forever?
He and Roshia had clearly agreed that they would do so many things together, but now...
"If I disappear, what will happen to him... to them?"
"The memory of you will be erased, and your creations will continue to live in this world."
