Chapter 133 Why does every me leave myself outside of the truth?



Chapter 133 Why does every me leave myself outside of the truth?

Perhaps the words "one corpse, two lives" were so lethal that Bai Ye's voice had just fallen when the red and blue pixels exploded into a ball on the platform where the core of the Wheel of Fortune was located. Ignorant soul particles came from somewhere but were exactly the same as before, floating in the air. The evening bells from a distant time echoed. When the red and blue pixels dissipated, King's movements had been temporarily controlled by those suspended pixels in front of Bai Ye.

His pupils and arms were trembling, as if he was a machine that was forcibly interrupted and fell into an unknown state of confusion due to the interruption of the program.

The red and blue pixel particles were suspended in the air without fading. The sound of bells and the mechanism of the Wheel of Fortune from a distant direction overlapped. Bai Ye walked towards King, staggering and weak, but determined.

He said, "Since you have come out to save us, why don't you come out to meet us down there?"

The light screen of t173 shook up and down.

"DM system?"

Bai Ye said softly.

【Hehe, dear player...I really didn't expect you to be so smart. 】

Blocks of red and blue interwoven pixels overlapped and flickered in mid-air. Countless threads of fate seemed to sense something and overflowed from the core, rushing towards Bai Ye. Bai Ye had nothing to fear because the red and blue colors that did not belong to him had helped him block everything.

A young man with medium-length black hair walked out of the revolving pixel door. The door was exactly the same as the security door of the DM system. He was wearing a black cloak, the style of which was very similar to the law enforcer uniform on King who was in a stiff state beside him, except for the color.

"Dear players..."

The DM, whose hair even had data symbols flashing at the end, walked forward slowly. Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and continued with the classic line of the DM system: "Welcome to the other world?"

DM smiled, and his smile was filled with visible evil. Although he had the same face as Bai Ye and King, he had a completely different personality.

If I had to put it bluntly...it's more like wonder or spade.

"Wrong."

DM blinked his eyes: "Yes, welcome to the Wheel of Fortune, my dear." As he walked, red and blue pixels spread rapidly, and everything in the inner and outer worlds was displayed under the thread of fate. The golden ring under his feet seemed to have become translucent, and everything under the sky was exposed. The whole world was divided into two layers by an invisible film composed of the power of the Ten Commandments, and all of this was clearly displayed in front of them at this moment.

Golden threads fell from the sky, extending to every city circle in the surface world and every demon residence in the inner world. The Wheel of Fortune, which was independent of the world, had entered the space where the surface and inner worlds were located under the influence of the "script" and began to reserve energy for the Eden Project.

Bai Ye looked into the distance and saw the core holy grail of the DM system gradually filled with blood. Just a little bit more and the Garden of Eden would be officially launched.

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope. Bai Ye thought of the two strong girls on Yedao Island. Saotome Rin would definitely understand what he meant. The Tenzokumo Sword in her hand was an important glimmer of hope. According to the time, they should have entered the door opened in the night tide that Shinku left intentionally or unintentionally.

The General Administration of Law Enforcers in the surface world maintained order in an orderly manner, while in the inner world where demons lived, countless screaming black mists spread along the silk threads to this platform of destiny. T173 floated up and down. Bai Ye and DM raised their eyes, and even King paused slightly.

Those mournful sounds were like the wails of resentful souls, screaming and howling.

"Why... why - the four demon kings have all had their powers taken away by you... are you still not satisfied?"

"Why... why... the 'God' who created our Eden and divided the inner and outer worlds, you are still unwilling to listen to our voices?"

"Is it because of humans? But you are the creator of our world consciousness, our God. Why are you willing to incarnate as a human and abandon us?"

The voices from the demons overlapped each other, revealing heavy sorrow and desperate accusations. Bai Ye once again heard the word "God".

Unlike the harsh words imagined, the attitude of these demons... is very strange. Rather than the resentment towards DM who is about to regard him as the culprit of energy absorption, Bai Ye can feel that their clearer mood is... confusion and fear of being abandoned.

'god'? Who is 'God'? DM system? t173 player, him? Or... the real, undivided "me"?

Could it be that King...their original form was once God? The Senate wants to become something it has done everything it can, even if it means destroying the Wheel of Fortune? But if that is the case, then why would the entity that had not split itself join the Senate, and why would it say... why would it say that the Senate is invincible?

He is obviously the 'God', isn't he? What exactly does the so-called "God" mean?

Doubts were swirling in Bai Ye's heart. He had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to admit it. He was just an ordinary high school student. The t173 player only knew that the script was now public information. King was completely controlled by the program to complete the Eden Project. Fortunately, he now had some time to waste with the DM in front of him who was suspected to know the most, and the DM system... would definitely not refuse to answer a question from "himself".

"Why did you abandon us..."

"Don't give up on us... our true 'God'."

The voices of countless demon gods weeping from the other world were still wailing. DM shook his head and gently touched the black mist with his fingertips. His face, which was full of the expression that he just wanted to have fun, actually showed a compassionate emotion: "I don't want to give up on you. After all, you are also children born here. I just want to change the current underlying code."

He looked towards the towering core of the Wheel of Fortune: "Now, this world has the wrong underlying logic."

t173 screamed: [“How come you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also betraying me?!]

Bai Ye frowned almost at the same time. Even though he was mentally prepared, DM's attitude was still beyond his imagination: "Are you deceiving the Senate?"

The DM system smiled and shook its head: "No, it was never the Senate that I wanted to deceive, but fate."

"In the game of fate, there are always unknown shufflers."

Bai Ye chuckled, his eyes swept over the still controlled King: "I think the table is crowded enough with four 'me's."

DM couldn't help but coughed twice to suppress his laughter. "It's hard for me to say our true self. Oh, you should have guessed it. We are all the result of the splitting of the same person. Our true self - temporarily we can call him Black Sun. He is like the programmer of this world. In order to repair the underlying logic that he has always been dissatisfied with, he split himself into four and began the repair work."

DM paused here, Bai Ye looked at the Wheel of Fortune thoughtfully, and sighed: "The unknown shuffler... During the repair process, I unexpectedly discovered the thoughts left by the original body: Perhaps we who regard the Senate as the final boss of the script have overlooked the most serious problem.

Bai Ye continued, as if they were still the same person: "That pen that can write scripts and change the wheel of fate... comes from...?"

DM looked at him approvingly, his eyes full of "I am worthy of you". He also pressed the button of t173 who was shouting: "Stop talking, you will die, you will die, just make it succeed". He stared into Bai Ye's eyes and said word by word: "Only the Wheel of Fortune can modify the Wheel of Fortune."

"Our enemies are not the heroes they once were."

Bai Ye pressed the t173 which was going crazy and about to collapse. He was not very surprised. After all, the game script always liked to add a hidden boss after the final boss. Since You Yu went to face the Senate directly, he couldn't lose to that guy.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out: "You mean the Wheel of Fortune is the culprit, not the Senate? Then what is its purpose? Or to put it another way, what can it get from it that is higher than the identity of 'Wheel of Fortune'?"

DM crossed his arms and used the stiff King as a pillar to lean against. He lowered his voice with a spirited look, "Because of 'God'."

Bai Ye: "What is God?"

DM: "...is the true master of this world, this planet."

He uttered those four words, four words that were blown away by the wind and blurred in Yuga's last words.

“World consciousness.”

The world consciousness died when it created the Ten Commandments when the inner and outer worlds were divided. However, with the development of civilization on this planet, this world gradually needed a real world consciousness again to maintain the operation of the entire world.

No one can refuse to become the absolute master of a planet. Even the loom of fate, the wheel of destiny that determines everything, has developed a self-awareness that should not exist because of the greed of the Senate.

This self-consciousness is a projection of the collective consciousness of the Senate and is an absolute selfish fantasy. It wants to provide all the resources in the world to make it happy. Even if everyone in the world dies, it is enough for it to be the only one who is happy.

The deepest greed of human desires polluted the Wheel of Fortune when the Senate moved the temple to the Wheel of Fortune, giving rise to the desire to turn the entire planet into its own resources.

Want to become an omnipotent world consciousness and own a planet. What the projection called human beings wants to obtain is also the highest honor it wants to possess. Thus, the greedy human projections paid the price for their desires, and the Wheel of Fortune regarded the self-righteous Senate as its most effective weapon. It only needed to make a small change at the end of the script to benefit the real beneficiary.

The owner of the Garden of Eden was never what the Senate imagined himself to be, but the most harmless tool of fate in their eyes.

Bai Ye lowered his eyes, looking at the world and all living beings under his feet. He was silent for a moment, but his thoughts were quickly sorted out: "What about you? What about us? What are we? What is the Black Sun? If the Wheel of Destiny is so vigilant, why do we know? Why didn't it defend against us?"

Even the soul fragments of the original Black Sun continue to stay in its core.

DM's smile was helpless and forced: "Because we are the kind of existence it wants to be. Ah, it's still too rough. Seriously speaking, our original body Black Sun is also a fragment. And we are fragments among the fragments."

"Who are we?"

"We are...world consciousness."

DM even said this with a smile, but his expression was very sad and there was no joy to match the smile.

Bai Ye felt that the doubts in his heart had finally been resolved, just like the huge rock that Sisyphus had pushed hard to the ground.

As expected...as expected.

After a long time of using the Ten Commandments to divide the inner and outer worlds, the world consciousness died completely and turned into countless fragments, which became the Ten Commandments.

And one of the fragments gave birth to its own consciousness. He was ignorant and dazed, struggling in the devil's game, but accidentally came into contact with the Holy Grail that could fulfill all wishes - the foundation of the Ten Commandments created by the world consciousness, the source of all the Ten Commandments.

The young, dazed and overwhelmed fragment became a life named Black Sun. He made a wish to the Holy Grail, the source of the Ten Commandments. The first wish he made was to become a real human being and shed the curse of world consciousness.

As long as he was still a fragment, the instinct to collect himself and become the world consciousness again roared in his mind day and night, almost driving him crazy. Faced with the desire to control a planet, Black Sun just wanted to escape.

How to escape the curse of the fragments of world consciousness? Black Sun traveled a very long way in the surface world and even in the inner world. He met the Demon King of Dusk Fire who was born to die in battle, the Demon King of Night Tide who stayed on the coast because of love and music, and the tree of incomplete meteorite that came from outer space...

He witnessed a lot in the human world. Some people wanted to kill him, some demons wanted to devour him, some demon apostles wanted to melt him, but more people wanted to save him.

The puppeteer girl named Queen likes to wear a wide-brimmed hat. Although she says "boring", she can always appear in the best support position at the right time.

The gentle knight who calls himself Jack holds a swift sword. Although not every time he helps others he will be rewarded, he stubbornly upholds and abides by the knight's creed and never thinks of violating it.

These two friends who met in the devil's game walked towards a more distant future with him. They established the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, named after the sunlight above the sky, hoping to raise their own sun for all lives struggling between the inner and outer worlds in this chaotic and disordered world.

Have you thought it through? Your wish? 】

After the first reunion, the Holy Grail questioned the tiny fragments because of the sacrifice of the world consciousness.

As Black Sun walked along, he looked at the world which was vast enough to contain countless sufferings. This planet was like a Möbius strip, with the white on the surface and the black inside overlapping each other, but every life was equally painful.

Even the demons in the other world were in constant pain of battle, but they had to fight in order to survive. In their ethereal fantasy of swallowing up the surface world, they were infinitely close to their own death.

The fighting demons were in pain, and the people who fought were in even greater pain. As a fragment of the world's consciousness, he could no longer bear to see them suffer like this.

So, without understanding emotions and without understanding why so many people were willing to die for each other, the long-dead world consciousness, who wanted to support a sun with its fragmented body, made its only wish to the Holy Grail, the source of the Ten Commandments.

"If possible, let me be a normal person."

"A real, yet ordinary human being who has emotions and can feel what life is fighting for."

"Then, as a person who has freed himself from the fragments of world consciousness, let me help those suffering humans and demons who are struggling in the game to raise a sun."

"I hope it doesn't have to be as bright as the sun in the sky, but it can bring a glimmer of hope to everyone caught up in the infinite war."

So he made a wish, and Black Sun got what he wanted.

He is no longer a star with life. Having lost his world consciousness, he has become the most inconspicuous blue star among the stars, floating silently and speechlessly in the universe. However, Black Sun, who has lost the fragment of his world consciousness, has become a happy man.

Bai Ye raised his eyes: "But this story definitely doesn't stop here. What happened later caused Black Sun to split itself into four parts... Let us each do our part, and now we are all standing here?"

DM snapped his fingers: "No way, after all, we have a special identity."

Bai Ye couldn't believe it: "Is it because we are world consciousness?"

DM nodded, and he began to narrate again: "Well, because we are the consciousness of the world, born from the instinct of this world to ask for help, so at the moment we made a wish, the wheel of fate polluted by desire extended a golden thread to us. As a participating influence of the world consciousness, the future of this world, Black Sun, that is, the entity, saw it all."

At the moment when his wish was fulfilled, King saw the future that had already been written by the Wheel of Fortune through the revelation of the Wheel of Fortune. The inner and outer worlds all fell into the energy of the Wheel of Fortune. The planet was destroyed, leaving only the conscious future of the Wheel of Fortune.

[I am here to invite you to cooperate.] 】The Wheel of Fortune said: [I know you don’t want to, you have been contaminated by the so-called selflessness of human beings. I will give you 20 chances to try to stop me in the fate line I simulated. If you succeed, I will give up, but if you fail...you will join me and hand over the fragments of world consciousness to me. 】

Hei Ri agreed. He had no reason to refuse.

He was trapped in the golden thread of the Wheel of Fortune. He reincarnated countless times in the simulated timeline and tried countless times, but every time, he could not save the people he would meet in the future.

Youyu, Linglan, Shuise, Faust, Red Heart, Queen, Jack... No one can survive the reunion caused by the system controlled by the Wheel of Fortune.

He was never able to save everyone and stop the Wheel of Fortune's plan at the same time. After the last reincarnation, the exhausted Black Sun accepted the invitation of the Wheel of Fortune.

He failed after all, but Hei Ri couldn't accept that.

He did choose to join the Senate and become an accomplice of the Wheel of Fortune in exchange for his important position in the future Garden of Eden.

But he also wrote the subsequent script, using the Holy Grail and his own soul to create t173 and the DM system, and then separated the White Night and diverted the Wheel of Fortune's attention, only knowing how to help the King of the Wheel of Fortune.

Four lines appeared from his fingertips, and he split his soul into four equal parts, allowing each part to move towards the future to win a glimmer of hope for survival.

Looking at Hei Ri's still raised mouth corners, Bai Ye vaguely realized that the dear players that DM mentioned every time he came online were serious.

As a part of Black Sun, how could he not love his children?

Bai Ye took a deep breath, his eyes swept over T173, Hei Ri, and even King in front of him.

So that's how it is. T173, King, and Black Sun are all someone he has not seen for a long time. They represent their own choices and vitality here, representing four different hopes, and decide the outcome for themselves here.

But...but...

Bai Ye opened his mouth, his voice trembling: "Why do all of me know the truth, but I am the only one who doesn't know it?"

Why does each of me leave me outside of the truth?

He had a bad feeling.
