"Speak human language."
"You're a good partner. At least you don't make me waste too much energy... Now you have two choices. Go back and fight those things, or... continue to the next world with me."
Fang Zhiyi didn't rush to answer: "Xiao Hei, what exactly are you?"
This time, Xiao Hei didn't evade the question: "Me? I was born from the world you described. I don't know exactly what it is, but I gradually understood a lot of things later."
Fang Zhiyi looked at it and found it hard to imagine that this was something he had written.
"Impossible, you are imaginary."
Xiao Hei said seriously: "Not really."
"Since you were born in my writing, how did you come to this real world?"
Xiao Hei said something meaningful: "Fang Zhiyi, have you ever thought that perhaps the world you live in is just a book written by someone else, and it will disappear once you close it?"
Fang Zhiyi fell into deep thought.
Xiao Hei suddenly twisted his body: "Hurry up, those guys are coming."
Fang Zhiyi was swept into the vortex before he could react.
At this time, another person came into Fang Zhiyi's ward. The man walked into the room, looked around, and then looked at Fang Zhiyi, who had a dazed look on his face: "No."
A system beside him replied, "Sufu, I clearly detected abnormal soul fluctuations."
"Report it to headquarters."
As they traveled, Xiao Hei continued, "Let me put it this way. A new world is born every minute and every second. For example, the beginning of a novel you casually wrote is the beginning of a new world. Even if you later abandon it, the world will continue to operate according to its established logic. It may not make sense, but many years later, the entire world will gradually align with reality and correct itself. That's when the Way of Heaven will be born."
"Who is chasing you?" Fang Zhiyi asked.
Xiao Hei replied, "Didn't we eat a few systems? We also ate a space, and now we're in trouble."
"What you eat is none of my business!"
"Oh, we are accomplices." Xiao Hei obviously seemed to be a rogue.
It seemed like they hadn't communicated like this for a long time. Now that everything was laid out before his eyes, Fang Zhiyi's suspicions about Xiao Hei were largely dispelled. After a few seconds, Fang Zhiyi asked again, "Are you... devouring the Heavenly Dao?"
Xiao Hei denied, "Not really." He paused, as if pondering his response. "Sometimes luck also counts. The laws of nature are too difficult to deal with."
"Can't I go back?"
"It's not that there is no chance, did you see it?" Xiao Hei asked.
Fang Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
"Those things, the people you created."
Fang Zhiyi suddenly thought of those people who only he could see: "They?"
"That's right. In those worlds, countless creatures like that were born. They bear your name. Although they may not be important characters, they exist in your mind, in the world you constructed. The ones you see without any action mean that you have already given them a perfect ending."
"That's your problem. You created the beginning, but didn't continue writing the rest. That's why these worlds began to complete themselves."
Fang Zhiyi was enlightened: "In other words, as long as I satisfy each of them, they will... leave my body?"
"To put it another way, you have to satisfy yourself. They are all part of you, too." Xiao Hei pondered for a moment, "But you probably don't realize this."
"But..." Fang Zhiyi frowned and looked back at the worlds he had been to. "There are so many, I don't even remember writing about them."
"That's normal. After all, these worlds aren't complete. Perhaps you just created a background and an opening. Many characters and stories are completed by the world itself, and they are naturally different from what you wanted to write before."
"You're not talking nonsense, are you?"
"How...I'm not talking nonsense."
Fang Zhiyi said seriously, "Then, Xiao Hei, what exactly is your purpose?"
Xiao Hei wrapped Fang Zhiyi's body: "Me? Just eat well and sleep well."
It wasn't human, so Fang Zhiyi couldn't fathom its thoughts. His gaze gradually grew firmer. Even if that wasn't the case, he could still continue on his journey.
"Stay away from him." Inside the ward, a female doctor appeared from behind the door with an expressionless face, the scalpel in her hand resting on the man's neck.
The man raised his hand: "Ms. Yue, this does not comply with our cooperation agreement."
The female doctor glanced at Fang Zhiyi, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "What on earth did he do wrong?"
The man knew what was happening. He raised his hands high, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes narrowed. "According to the records, that thing first took him into several normal worlds, tampering with the fates of the characters in order to gain the world's luck. Then, he repeatedly entered those worlds formed by the Heavenly Dao, devouring their luck and swallowing up the world's will. Now, it's become very powerful and has begun to attack our personnel."
"So we're not trying to deal with him, we're trying to find that monster. But it seems we're a step too late."
"You mean he came back?"
The man nodded and shook his head. He glanced at his own system. "I'm not entirely sure... but it's clear that things are beyond my control. Perhaps it's already capable of consuming some newly born Heavenly Dao."
The female doctor slowly put away the knife in her hand and shifted her gaze to Fang Zhiyi who was staring at her.
