Chapter 1022 The Final Chapter: A Game with the Gods
The still world resumed the flow of time, as if it had never been paused.
Everything during the time freeze was like an insignificant dream.
Once a person wakes up, the dream is forgotten.
Everyone who returned to real life only experienced a moment of confusion before snapping back to reality and continuing with what they were doing without a second thought.
...
The only unaffected young man with black hair sat at an open-air cafe on the street, holding a cup of warm tea. As he took a sip, another customer joined him at the table opposite him.
However, the current customer traffic is not very high, and there are still two or three empty tables and chairs.
The man who had approached him to "share a table" ordered an iced coffee from the waiter, glanced at the leisurely young man in front of him, and didn't rush to speak.
But the person opposite him was even more patient. He took a sip of coffee, decided not to wait any longer, and asked directly, "You just let that god go like that?"
The originally indifferent voice became slightly more turbulent due to curiosity.
He had assumed that a selfish and self-serving person like Rong Qian would simply turn the deity into his own possession. After all, he did have the opportunity, and the deity was rather foolish.
Upon hearing this, the black-haired youth, who was Rong Qian himself, smiled slightly. "If you don't let him go, are you going to keep him here? What's the point?"
"..." Xu Ce: "The existence of gods will provide an extra layer of protection for the divine realm."
Rong Qian smiled: "Do you think I would care?"
Xu Ce paused for a moment, picked up her coffee, took a sip, shook her head, and replied, "You really don't care."
"That's it."
Rong Qian slowly sipped his warm tea, his gaze falling indifferently on a small flower by the roadside.
“But did you do something just now? I sensed that the world has been paused.” Xu Ce put down her coffee, propped her cheek up with one hand, and looked at Rong Qian.
Rong Qian slightly curled the corners of his mouth, his narrowed eyes making him look unfathomable and enigmatic. "I'm just using the same methods I used on 01 on the 'main characters' as well."
Xu Ce's eyes widened almost imperceptibly. After a pause, he smiled nonchalantly. "As expected of you, you selfish monster. Even at a time like this, you still manage to squeeze out the last bit of profit."
Rong Qian chuckled softly.
That's right, the so-called movie room was just an illusion he created using his memory space.
Purpose?
Of course, it's all about extracting their emotional value and converting it into divine power.
As for those "stories of using different identities"...
It's fake too.
All the clones have been collected and destroyed by him, and their stories will end there.
At least... not now.
Rong Qian's lips curved slightly, his gaze deep and dark, devoid of any light.
Even when Xu Ce met his gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He took a breath. "So when do you plan to reset this world?"
Rong Qian's reason for holding the world core was not just to threaten the world's consciousness. More importantly, he wanted to use the core to reset the world and then... collect emotional points again.
After all, the feeling of deceiving everyone is quite interesting, and Rong Qian is happy to spend time playing it again with different strategies.
He smiled slightly and uttered a few words calmly, "No rush."
Xu Ce paused for a moment, just as he was about to say something, an invisible distortion and fluctuation appeared in the air beside him, and the next second, a rose-red "little elf" appeared in front of them.
As soon as Xiao Meihua saw Rong Qian, her eyes crinkled with joy. "Sir, the matter you arranged has been completely resolved. Those gods who came to our door have been brought under control, and now we're just waiting for you to deal with them personally."
Rong Qian smiled and nodded in response, then looked at Xu Ce with a smile, "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Xu Ce: "..."
"No need, I just came to check if your plan is complete. I need to go back and finish my own task."
Although he said he wanted to go back, he still sat in his chair, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.
Rong Qian smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you to make the payment later."
After saying that, he disappeared.
Xu Ce watched him leave, then raised her coffee cup and clinked it against the teacup opposite her before downing it in one gulp. Her tone, though slightly reproachful, was mostly filled with amusement. "I came all this way to celebrate with you, you know."
He paused, then murmured to the void, "Congratulations on your triumph after hardship, on breaking free from your shackles, Rong Qian."
Whether the other party heard it or not, Xu Ce heard a familiar laugh before leaving.
He shrugged and left this world.
In another world.
Rong Qian responded to Xu Ce's congratulations with a smile and then decisively dealt with all the imprisoned gods.
Wiping the bloodstains from his cheek, Rong Qian smiled gently as he handed the divine diamond to Xiao Meihua. He looked at her tenderly, "Next, we will draw back the deity and use him to replenish the divine realm with fresh blood..."
Little Plum Blossom smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Little Plum Blossom understands!"
Rong Qian left this place.
A strange, enigmatic smile played at the corners of his mouth.
That's great, he can play games with the gods now.
They will definitely like the game gift he prepared for them.
