"Why did you stop making bear-shaped cookies later?"
After finishing writing "Lament of the Buried Spring," Yu Xunge finally asked the question aloud.
Maple Syrup sat atop the mast of Cat's Ideal, gazing into the distance at the river of time, her voice muffled by the wind: "Just pretend I'm sober now."
An answer that isn't really an answer.
Yu Xunge was about to return to the captain's cabin to continue writing when Maple Syrup's voice made her stop in her tracks.
"Let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead and ask."
"Do you think that if 'Buried Spring' were still around, Xiong Ni would agree to let me bake more autumn bears into cookies?"
Based on Yu Xunge's understanding of maple syrup, the other party's question was definitely not for seeking reassurance, nor was it intended to mock condescendingly, such as whether Xiong Ni would regret not having asked him to make more cookies.
This is a question of whether to compromise with reality and kneel down to fate.
For all races except the Autumn Bear, becoming a cookie is just one way out. But for the Autumn Bear, agreeing to let Maple Syrup turn more Autumn Bears into cookies is tantamount to kneeling before an enemy.
Given Xiong Ni's status and its regard for Qiu Xiong, it will agree.
It will swallow all the blood and tears and agree to the plan.
"fortunately……"
Yu Xunge looked up in surprise at the figure high in the sky, and the word "fortunately" came from Maple Syrup.
Fortunately what? Fortunately she didn't have to see Qiu Xiong compromise, or fortunately she didn't have to face such a heartbreaking moment? Maple Syrup would probably rather see Xiong Ni rushing towards her with tears in her eyes to kill her than see Xiong Ni helplessly compromise.
The ship is heading towards the four-star world "Fuqing".
Although Fuqingfengji replaced the world invading Fuqing with a low-level world called "Earth Cage" in the "Player Relics", that low-level world had long since shattered in the sound of the bell.
"Fuqing" has been able to hold on until now because it entered an invasion sequence with world-class techniques in time, but now, this world has once again been targeted by "Winter Sea".
Yu Xunge had already repaid the 5,000 sighs she owed before, and now she only needed a little more sighs to fill the Soul Fire Jar again. She stopped asking about Maple Sugar's "fortunately" and turned back to the cabin to continue adding some scattered words.
For example, "MaiMang" holds a wild light show on the seabed every year, giving people a whole year to go out into the wild to find the most beautiful glowing plants. The winner can be rewarded with a house in MaiMang Castle.
For example, the spring in "Buried Spring" follows the spring bear. Hot spring water will only gush out from the ground when a spring bear appears nearby.
For example, at the end of "Buried Spring's" sigh, Xiong Ni answered that question, "...as long as he is still alive, it doesn't matter if the autumn bear doesn't chase the bees."
More and more stars are falling into the jar of soul fire.
When the "Fuqing" world dock appeared not far ahead, Yu Xunge also reappeared in that mysterious space.
The last fork in the road split into four paths: [No Killing], [Just a speck of dust], [Outside the Sequence], and [Before the Sigh], and she is currently standing on [Before the Sigh].
But there was no road ahead of her.
Yu Xunge wasn't in a hurry. If the Chaotic Star Sea wasn't willing to give her anything, then it wouldn't have let her come here.
On the contrary, she felt that she and Xinghai were kindred spirits.
She asked, "I want to know if the pendulum is meant to destroy the world or the soul fire? Is there a limit to the number of worlds that will survive in the end?"
The primary purpose is to destroy the Soul Flame. The world is destroyed by the aftershocks of the tremor, which is not the main objective of the pendulum. You can think of the beings in the Star Sea as Mars, and the Star Sea as a bonfire formed by the convergence of Mars. The pendulum of order needs to extinguish the flames below the safety line.
"Then why did you even bring the game into the world, making players ignite the flame of their souls? Would a crisis occur even if they didn't ignite it?"
Yes, even without the divine gift of igniting your soul fire, as each world develops to a certain stage, you will break through the limits of life and ignite your soul fire on your own. Zaijiu is an example of this. Even without the game's invasion, your technology has already touched the danger line.
[Waiting until everyone has reached the later stages of development before igniting the Soul Flame together would indeed be fair, but Starsea simply doesn't have enough time to nurture its players.]
"I understand. My current plan is to concentrate the world as much as possible in a nested doll-like manner, with one layer inside the other, sharing world techniques while also minimizing, concentrating, and overlapping all the soul flames."
"Turning living beings into cookie props can also minimize fluctuations."
After she finished speaking, Xinghai remained silent for a long time, it was unclear whether she was discussing with the gods, deducing the feasibility of the plan, or generating skills based on the plan.
After a while, two paths appeared in front of Yu Xunge.
【Starry Night Elegy】(Starry Night Skill ★★★★★): "What's the point? Does it count as making the story a little longer?" Using this skill on any world will increase the maximum number of beings that world can hold by 10%. Each use of this skill will consume 10 World Sighs. (This skill can only be used with Wine and Song)
【Biscuit King】(Starry Sea Skill ★★★★★★★): "If you are willing to become a cookie, I will take you all with me on our escape." Create a cookie house and invite all living beings in a world to join you. All beings in that world who are willing to go will automatically enter the cookie house and become cookie props for the next 24 hours. The beings retain consciousness and life, but their stats are only 10% of their original form, and they retain the original's lifespan. This form cannot be restored by any means. Each cookie house can only bake 100 million cookies per day. You are the king of all cookie houses and can set the rules for each cookie house. (This skill is only usable when carrying wine and seeking songs.)
The last sentence of "The Biscuit King" is a bit troublesome, but it doesn't cause trouble for Yu Xunge. Rather, it creates psychological resistance in the beings who are willing to enter the biscuit house, thus causing a little trouble.
Despite this, Yu Xunge still rushed towards the "Biscuit King" without hesitation.
She is willing to save lives, but she is not opposed to making rules.
Cookies take the risk, the Cookie King establishes order.
