[If the host unilaterally desires to return to reality, then this wish will expand in one direction and be fulfilled.]
"Wait, you mean my wish was bidirectional?"
That's correct.
Luo Chen was dumbfounded.
This wish can actually be directed to both sides, so who is the other side?
Suddenly, Luo Chen was stunned and asked uncertainly, "You're not trying to tell me that Fang Xue could make a wish under those circumstances?"
Luo Chen found it hard to believe. Fang Xue was almost dead at that time, her breath was very weak, and she was not even in her right mind. How could she possibly make a wish?
Moreover, Fang Xue knew nothing about the system, so how could she possibly make a wish?
How could such a thing happen by such a coincidence?
[So the host already guessed it.]
That's absolutely right.
[If the host hadn't used his telepathic abilities to tell Fang Xue the answer she wanted to know back then...]
[Then she wouldn't still have that obsession after losing consciousness.]
[There is no limit to the number of people whose wishes can be fulfilled.]
[As long as it falls within the scope of one's desire, even without consciousness, as long as the conviction remains, it can be infinitely amplified, leading to the successful fulfillment of the wish.]
[If the host only wishes to return to reality and there is no one else around, then this wish is a one-way wish.]
[Returning is lifeless, one-way, and the host's wish is granted.]
[But the host's gluttony caused the wish to become bidirectional...]
[Therefore, the reason why Fang Xue's personality changed so drastically is entirely due to you, the host.]
[If you hadn't given her the answer she wanted, she wouldn't have been so fixated on it, to the point where things are now.]
A systematic explanation.
Luo Chen stared in disbelief, looking somewhat dazed.
There are so many things involved in making a wish, why doesn't this damn system tell him?!
But upon closer reflection...
Even if the system tells him that this will still happen.
If Fang Xue hadn't received the answer she wanted to hear back then.
He died tragically.
So, in situations where it's uncertain whether the wish will be effective.
Luo Chen would still say the same thing.
After all, he couldn't do it yet.
A girl took a bullet for him without asking any questions.
But the aftereffects of this are truly terrifying.
Fang Xue's personality changes.
Luo Chen hasn't dared to stay at the Luo family's residence for long these past few days.
They found various excuses to run away ahead of time.
Now, facing Fang Xue, he was no longer as composed as before.
It's already a good thing if you don't get teased to death by the other party.
"well……"
Luo Chen let out a heavy sigh.
The system is right; he's the one who caused all of this.
If it weren't for my gluttony, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
But……
"Forget it, what's done is done. It's too late to regret it now. Just try to have less contact with her in the future."
Having made up his mind, Luo Chen felt relieved and his depression dissipated.
[...]
[Does the host have any further questions?]
[If not, I have something to tell you.]
"have."
Luo Chen thought of Ying.
"I want to know who Ying is? He doesn't exist in the book, so why does he keep appearing?"
He thought of Ying's first encounter with him, and then her encounter with Fang Xue.
Ying is such a mysterious person.
It always makes people feel uneasy.
Now that the system is back, this is the natural question.
[Host, I know that.]
[This happens to coincide with what I wanted to tell you.]
"Together?"
Luo Chen was puzzled.
[Yes, because the host successfully completed the mission.]
[The storyline of "The Return of the Dragon King" has ended.]
[As previously agreed, the host should have returned to reality.]
Luo Chen nodded; the system was right.
The previously agreed-upon completion of filming was indeed granted, and the system granted the wish to return to reality.
But if the wish is gone, then naturally there's no going back.
[The host has already used the reward they received for fulfilling their wish.]
[Reality cannot be reverted.]
[The main storyline unfolds independently.]
[The host has successfully entered the next world's storyline.]
[The plot has already begun and the host cannot make any changes.]
"Wait, what's going on?"
Luo Chen blinked in confusion: "Wasn't this plot already over? The protagonist's halo has shattered, so why is it continuing? What's going on?"
Ye Lin is no longer the protagonist. The system told him before the upgrade that the protagonist's halo was broken. Even if he didn't die, he would no longer be the protagonist and could no longer affect the events that followed.
The plot shouldn't have been able to continue, so why did it suddenly start again?
Luo Chen couldn't understand it.
[Host, do you remember what I told you before?]
"What did you say?"
Luo Chen couldn't possibly remember everything the system said.
[As I mentioned before, in the real world, the author of "The Return of the Dragon King" tasted success because of the novel's popularity and quickly wrote a sequel.]
The subsequent plot is set against the backdrop of the present world.
Therefore, even though the protagonist's halo has been shattered, it doesn't affect the arrival of the next protagonist in the slightest.
"Wait, you mean that novel called [The Return of the God of War]?"
Luo Chen remembered that the system had indeed told him about such a thing.
They even complained at the time that the author was terrible at naming things.
It's amazing that such a terrible name can still sell so well.
Are the readers who like it because they've eaten too much Lao Tan pickled cabbage noodles?
Little did I expect that my complaints back then would backfire and cause me to suffer the consequences.
The plot unfolds autonomously.
So what is his identity now?
[Yes, although "The Return of the God of War" utilizes this world frame, its plot and story are quite different from the previous book, "The Return of the Dragon King."]
[Due to the story progressing autonomously and me currently leveling up, you, the host, cannot immediately receive the story content.]
[Now, I won't say anything more; I will transmit everything into your mind, host.]
Luo Chen hadn't spoken yet, and there were some questions he hadn't asked.
The system then took action.
A slight stinging sensation.
Luo Chen closed his eyes.
My mind suddenly felt flooded with thoughts.
The entire plot of "The Return of the God of War" was sent into his mind.
At the same time, Luo Chen also learned some things.
"The Return of the God of War" is a sequel to "The Return of the Dragon King".
Having tasted success with the popularity of a real-life author's novel, he wrote a sequel.
The story in the book is about Ye Feng, who left the Ye family at a young age and was taken away by a master.
Because of his extraordinary talent and remarkable physique, he was spotted by a passing master who took him in as a disciple and kept him by his side so that Ye Feng could learn more martial arts and broaden his horizons.
The Ye family certainly wouldn't object; in fact, they considered it a stroke of luck. If Ye Feng were to return later, their Ye family would undoubtedly be able to gain even greater strength and break into the ranks of super families.
Unfortunately, not long after, the Ye family was wiped out overnight.
Apart from Ye Feng's younger brother Ye Lin, who escaped, all the other members of the Ye family perished.
