At this moment, the symbol was emitting a faint, dark golden light that flickered like breathing!
The humming stopped. The tome fully materialized in the empty space at the center of the bookcase, floating quietly, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it had existed there since time immemorial.
Ye Qingliu's heart almost stopped beating.
He stared at the book that suddenly appeared, and a sense of familiarity and calling from the deepest part of his soul surged over him, overwhelming all the confusion and headache.
He seemed to be pulled by an invisible string, slowly stood up, and walked towards the bookcase step by step.
With a slight tremor, his fingertips finally touched the cold cover.
At the moment when my fingertips touched the cover——
“Buzz!”
An unimaginably huge torrent of information, like the explosion at the beginning of the universe, instantly broke down all the dams in Ye Qingliu's consciousness and poured into his mind arrogantly and irresistibly!
No more fragments! It's a complete, vast, cold data stream!
He saw himself—or rather, countless "Observers Ye Qingliu"—sitting upon a pure white throne in the void. Before him lay streams of light, representing countless world lines, spread out like a sea of stars.
Each stream of light records the entire process of Chao Youye (codename: Entropy, the embodiment of rules) and Mu Xinrong (codename: Source, the source of abnormal variables), from their encounter, entanglement, and ultimate collapse. With each collapse, the world line is reset.
He records each reset coordinate, variable, and critical point of entropy increase... like a most sophisticated instrument, an absolutely neutral recorder, without joy or sorrow, without intervention, only eternal observation and cold recording.
He saw "Qi Shang" - a being with a blurry figure but emitting a disgusting aura of distortion and fanaticism.
It wasn't native to a particular world line, but rather, like a virus, wandering and lurking in the cracks between countless world lines! It madly worshipped Chao Youye, the "incarnation of rules," and regarded him as its only god.
Like a vulture, it chased the "source" power (Mu Xinrong's soul fragments) that escaped when the world line was reset, trying to pollute and devour it in order to gain the qualification to approach "entropy"!
It is the biggest disturbance in the observation record, a crazy parasite trying to disrupt the balance!
He saw that he had watched Mu Xinrong die indifferently on a rainy night countless times, and watched Chao Youye completely lose control after losing the anchor of the "source", turning into a pure rule of destruction, erasing the entire world line along with the madman Qi Shang... and then restarting.
The cold data pierced his nerves like billions of ice needles. The observer's absolute rationality was like an icy armor, trying to wrap him up again and freeze him.
However……
At the deepest part of this vast and cold data torrent, at the data core of this world line marked as "Final Iteration-No. Ω".
A line of ancient characters, composed of dark golden light, emerged, burning like a brand, emitting a faint yet unusually resilient warmth that was completely different from the other cold data:
[Final Worldline, Core Variable: Love. Status: Active. Stability: Unknown. Observer Intervention Level: Abnormal (High). Risk: Unknown. Recommendation: Initiate Final Formatting Protocol…]
"like"……
This word was like a spark thrown into an icy lake, instantly igniting all the emotions deep in Ye Qingliu's consciousness that had been suppressed by the observer's reason!
It wasn't the data! It was the burning tears that Hua Jinyue shed as she hugged his waist and cried!
It was Bai Zhiye's cold fingertips and the turbulent waves beneath his calm eyes as he tightly covered Hua Jinyue's mouth in the dense forest! It was Ning Xiwan's trembling, fierce concern as she patted his shoulder! It was Duan Shuce's silent ice pack!
When Mu Xinrong learned that the kidnapper mentioned "Qi Shang", he looked at the complex light in his eyes that was a mixture of fear and... trust!
It was the almost elusive concentration and gentleness that occasionally flashed in Chao Youye's eyes, which were like the depths of the abyss, when she was beside Mu Xinrong!
It is their vivid faces, their true warmth, and the delicate and warm bonds between them on this world line.
“Ugh—!”
Ye Qingliu let out a painful roar and suddenly pulled back his fingers that were touching the cover.
The dark golden "Observer's Diary" fell on the thick carpet with a "click". The light dimmed instantly and it returned to the appearance of an ancient book.
He stumbled backwards, his back slamming heavily against the cold bookcase, barely able to support his shaky body. He gasped for breath, like a drowning man regaining air.
Cold sweat had completely soaked his pajamas, sticking to his skin with a sticky feeling. The wound on his forehead ached slightly from the intense mental shock.
The silver-rimmed glasses hung crookedly on the bridge of his nose, and the gray-blue eyes behind the lenses trembled violently, with turbulent waves surging in them.
The observer's cold torrent of memories and the fiery, vivid fragments of memories belonging to the "Night Clear Stream" collided, tore, and merged frantically...
He slowly lifted his burned fingertips. There were no physical scars, but a scorching pain, burned by the word "love," remained.
"The last world line..." He gasped, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper.
"Variable...love..."
The cold observer logic is frantically warning: Anomaly intervention! High-dimensional risk! Formatting recommended! Clear variables!
But the heart belonging to "Ye Qingliu" in his chest is thinking about "Jinyue", "Naizi", "Wanjie" and "Shuce".
My heart was beating violently for Mu Xinrong, who always smiled like the little sun, and even for Chao Youye, who was as cold as the rules themselves but seemed to have learned something along the way.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
