"Su Deng." Yan Sizhan, with his black hair, stepped forward. His features were even more defined beneath his black hair. He cupped Su Deng's face in his hands, lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Su Deng's, closed his eyes, and said softly, "It's you who forgot everything..."
Su Deng looked at her, and her violent aura inexplicably calmed down.
Su Deng closed her eyes as he did.
After a long time.
She opened her eyes, stepped back, and looked at Yan Sizhan and the Old Celestial Master. "Are you trying to tell me that the existence of this game world is all because of my obsession?"
The old master said, "Your heart will have the answer."
She had been to this game instance and experienced all of this.
The reason why the Celestial Master predicted that she was from outer space was because she had been here before; the Celestial Master had seen her.
She came here.
She knew Yan Sizhan.
All of this has happened.
The old celestial master's magic allows him to glimpse heaven and earth, to see the future and the past, and to see her.
If this game world is truly all her obsession, then it's all a fabrication.
That truly means that it wasn't Yan Sizhan who had been suffering from amnesia, but rather her…
To be more precise, it's not amnesia, it's a cycle...
The lingering thought of the [Lamp] before its collapse was to oversee the gods and protect the world and humanity that the gods were meant to protect. This was also the main reason why the [Lamp] became human.
After [Lantern] died, the fragments that broke apart included [Ghost Bride], the person Meng Po said she resembled, and Su Deng was also a part of it.
The obsession with the [lamp] dispersed, and each wisp gave birth to consciousness, becoming a part of this game world.
Therefore, it is able to support the entire game world.
These obsessions become part of the game world, serving as the main pillars supporting its operation and protecting humanity. The consciousness or people formed from these obsessions also cycle along with the game world...
It keeps looping, and looping, and looping.
However, the most important part of a lamp is its wick.
The wick is the core of the lamp's essence.
Even the wick cannot escape these cycles.
Each cycle is a brand new beginning.
If she fails even once, she will go back to the beginning.
Just like in the [Ghost Bride] instance, the process and ending of death are different each time, and after each ending, she will return to the bridal sedan chair in the forest...
She may have entered this game world countless times, each time with a different experience, but the final result was always failure.
If she fails, she will return to the beginning, to the real human world, starting with the orphan who inexplicably appeared under the street lamp in front of the orphanage.
The beginning of a cycle is a brand new start.
Therefore, no matter what she went through, she wouldn't remember anything.
And this copy is the end point of each cycle.
These are things that Fu Jin and his team could not find out no matter what they tried.
She knew where the jade pendant engraved with the character "Su" that she had been wearing since birth came from...
Su Deng lowered her eyes, pulled off the jade pendant tied around her neck, held it in her hand, and squeezed it hard, shattering it instantly.
[Su] is not her surname; she doesn't have a surname at all.
This jade pendant is a fictitious surname that she created for herself through countless cycles.
They created a fictitious backstory for the orphan outside the orphanage.
In fact, the lamp originally had no gender.
After all, it is an object, and objects have no gender.
Moreover, it is an inextinguishable light in the hands of the Creator.
Her and Yan Sizhan's genders come from those gods.
God, taking into account human gender, believed that the distinction between genders could restrain and balance each other, so He divided the lamp and the cup into male and female.
With her and Yan Sizhan.
In those many cycles, she and Yan Sizhan did develop some kind of affection, but that affection stemmed more from the fact that they were born together and came from the same source.
In the previous dungeon, all the dark green-haired Yan Sizhan were just the source of fire for [Zhan] to keep [Deng] company in the game dungeon.
All the Yan Si Zhan are the Yan Si Zhan before your eyes.
The Yan Si Zhan in front of us is the complete Yan Si Zhan.
She also gave him the name Yan Sizhan.
The sea is clear and the river is calm.
Each performs their own duties.
Taking one character from each, they formed the character [盏].
Because in the two people, "lamp" and "cup," the "cup" exists and becomes useful only when "lamp" is present.
Peace and tranquility are what she hopes to see.
Each of them fulfilling their respective roles was also a way for her to warn and remind him that he was now hers.
She went through the cycle again and again, searching for a way to pass the level each time, but each time she failed. She would return to the beginning and start afresh...
She doesn't have amnesia, she's experiencing a loop; she won't remember the entire process.
This game world was created by [Lamp], but it has existed because of her obsession.
If she comes here again and meets the Old Master, she will know everything, because if she successfully reverses the situation in this instance, it will be the end of the game.
If it fails, the cycle will continue to spread endlessly.
And every Yan Sizhan she encountered in every game instance she experienced, no matter which instance she was in, was the same Yan Sizhan she had met in countless loops...
And all of that was the trace left by Yan Sizhan.
Yan Sizhan repeated those past experiences to her.
It's not Yan Sizhan who doesn't remember, who has no memory of it.
Su Deng left the palace and sat on the highest rooftop in the city, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the moon.
