Time and space froze. Just before Wu Yu was about to fall into the gaping hole of the golden ancient tree, a mysterious entity intervened, attempting to change this turning point of fate.
"Damn it, what exactly do you want?" A roar came from Wu Yu's mental sea, it was the system's exasperated voice.
"So you've finally shown yourself? I've been ignored by you for so long, it's really hurt my pride." Wu Yu said with a wicked smile as he looked at the ancient-style man who appeared in his spiritual sea.
"Do you know what you're giving up? Do you even know?" The man in ancient style grabbed Wu Yu's collar. His face was already contorted, and the refined and gentle face that Wu Yu had created for him back then now looked so ferocious.
"It's just the authority of God, what's the big deal?" Wu Yu casually pushed the man in ancient style aside, straightened his collar, and said disdainfully.
"What's the big deal?" The ancient-style man laughed angrily. "Eternal lifespan and invincible power, the ultimate pursuit of all living beings, have been belittled by you to nothing, all for so-called love, all for a woman who is simply foolish. You are simply unreasonable."
"Hey, hey, hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Wu Yu glared at the man in ancient style and corrected him, "I only like Violet at most, just a tiny bit, you know that?"
Wu Yu used his right hand to make a slit in front of him, and then continued...
"What I'm looking for isn't something as boring as love!"
Wu Yu glanced at the man in ancient style and said impatiently, "I thought you were some kind of great being, but it turns out you're just a sealed god. Was it so cool to look down on all living beings from the clouds? Sorry, you'll probably be sleeping with me underground from now on. Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Words won't work on me. If not, don't waste my time here."
"Damn it, this is my power! You undeveloped monkey, you inferior creature like an ant!" Helpless, the ancient-style man could only utter meaningless curses.
Wu Yu calmly accepted all of this. "Thank you for the compliment. After all, humans are inherently selfish and despicable creatures. Although you have never hurt me, I have no qualms about killing you."
Wu Yu snapped his fingers lightly, and the frozen spacetime began to flow again. Vines flying out of the tree hole wrapped around Wu Yu, trying to pull him into the dark cave.
"How dare you? I am a god! How dare you defy me, you mortal!"
A spirit attempted to escape from Wu Yu's body, but countless shackles appeared, firmly trapping it within Wu Yu's ordinary body.
Just as he was about to plunge into the abyss, Wu Yu slowly lowered his head and asked Violet, who was lying on the ground, one last question.
"Was this within your expectations?"
The tree hole closed, and Wu Yu's vision was blocked by darkness, causing a feeling of weakness to arise spontaneously.
In a hazy vision, a newborn baby crawled toward him. Wu Yu's fingertips gently touched its forehead, and the baby transformed into a stream of light, flowing into Wu Yu's body. The records of this plane's development over billions of years were used like a tide, and his self, which he had held onto for twenty years, was constantly diluted in this torrent.
The destruction of the world finally ceased. Under the influence of a great will, the fractured crust began to coalesce, and the world was infused with new life.
"An accident occurs, a record is searched, no record is found, logical deduction is performed, deduction... fails, logic is confused, the main personality is activated."
Violet kept uttering intermittent mechanical sounds, and finally, as if she had gotten stuck, she closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
"Wu Yu?" After a long while, Violet on the ground softly murmured a name, two lines of clear tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
Holding the ancient key, Violet opened the way home as magic flowed into her hand.
The world began to flourish, but that original land remained a desolate wasteland.
However, a new vitality has emerged here.
Wearing casual clothes, Wu Yu was sitting on the edge of the Reincarnation Well, yawning and looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
Upon seeing Violet appear before him, Wu Yu greeted her with a lazy air.
"Hey, long time no see. I was hoping to make you worry, but you found out right away. You really can't hide anything from you."
Violet walked up to Wu Yu, took his fingers, and squeezed them hard.
"Ouch!" Wu Yu cried out in pain as his fingers were crushed into pieces, but they were quickly replaced with new material. "It's been over a decade. Why have you started to enjoy getting physical?"
"With your soul strength, you will be assimilated by the world's will in a hundred years at most, giving up your eternal lifespan. Is it worth it?" Violet stared intently at Wu Yu and asked.
"Aren't you the same?" Wu Yu asked with a light laugh.
“I love this world more than myself.” Violet’s voice rose a few decibels, her carefully maintained composure on the verge of crumbling.
"I haven't fallen in love with this world yet, but seeing how desperately you protect it, I wonder if there are some beautiful landscapes in this world that I've overlooked. Would you please take me to explore this world with you, Miss Violet, the fake adventurer?" Wu Yu extended an invitation to her in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you... thank you." A thousand words were ultimately reduced to a single expression of gratitude; the complex relationship between them could not be defined by any single word.
"Don't thank me so soon. I've already said I'm a genuine villain. If I still can't love this world a hundred years from now, I might regret it," Wu Yu said wickedly.
"No...no way." Violet pretended to be shocked and stared at Wu Yu with pitiful eyes.
Wu Yu held up three fingers at Violet and shook his head. "Cuteness won't work on me. I've used up all three chances to forgive you. Next time, I won't be lenient. To avoid the destruction of the world, you'd better keep trying, my only savior."
"Okay, okay, Wu Yu, you big bad guy." Violet naturally took Wu Yu's hand and led him towards the human world.
Listening to the soft, bell-like voice beside him, and the genuine smile on her lips, Wu Yu felt that this exchange was particularly worthwhile.
Although he has not yet fallen in love with anything, the seeds of tenderness have been sown, and in the foreseeable future, his empty heart will surely be filled with the beautiful things in the world.
"So, what are we going to do now?"
"Work, earn money, and travel the world!"
"No way! Working is out of the question. I never want to work in my life!"
"Rejected. You still owe me twelve gold, four silver, and six copper coins. Once you've paid off your debt, we can begin our world tour."
"I misjudged you, you stingy woman."
"Same here, Wu Yu, whose head is only filled with women."
