Chapter 206 Chapter 149 Choice

Ni Lan never thought about his future, because he had no future.

He thought it should be so.

So Ni Lan had no idea what it felt like to be resurrected from the other side.

But he knew that everything before his eyes must be deliberately shown to him by 'someone'.

[Do gods exist in this world? ]

These black words suddenly appeared in the space emitting soft white light.

It's neither big nor small, but it's eye-catching and shocking.

Ni Lan was a little confused, but he still shook his head.

"No, there are no gods in this world. There never were in the past, and there won't be in the future."

Although the font remained the same, Ni Lan seemed to hear a sigh of relief from it.

[Then don’t you want to know what the Ni family’s ancestors were thinking when they wanted to “become gods” in the beginning? ]

Ni Lan frowned, her golden eyes full of vigilance.

"What do you want to say?"

Is the interlayer from death to life a necessary path, or is it his subconscious mind that is playing tricks on him?

Amo and Es were still waiting for him outside. Ni Lan didn't have time to get tangled up with this weirdo who nobody knew.

[Do you know why the end of the other side exists? ]

Ni Lan was silent for a while.

Playing tricks? It's like you're trying to lead him to accept something.

"If it's a trial of resurrection, please tell me directly. If it's for other purposes, or even something you want from me, then don't beat around the bush."

Even in the past when he couldn't tell the truth, he never said anything to Amo and Ezra, saying yes or no.

Ni Lan is also a relatively direct person.

[Don't worry, time is forbidden here, and I won't stop you from resurrecting. Take a step forward and you will know the truth. Take a step back and you will be resurrected immediately, but you will also forget what happened here. The choice is yours.]

the truth?

What truth?

What truth?

Ni Lan subconsciously wanted to step back, but in the end she did not take that step.

He must be resurrected.

Because Amo and Ez were waiting for him.

But the "truth" about the Ni family's ancestors at the end of the other side seems to hide something unimaginable, waiting for his choice.

Even if he knew the truth, he could leave and be resurrected. At most, he would just forget what happened here...

Do you want to go?

Amo is an intuitive person. Although Ess doesn't really trust his intuition, sometimes it can be quite accurate.

What about Ni Lan herself?

His intuition told him that he should take a step forward.

The boy curled his fingers together. The soft light gave him an anxious feeling for no reason.

But soon, the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination, and he decided to take that step forward. Even though he knew that his thoughts would change after seeing the so-called truth, Ni Lan was unwilling to give up this special "opportunity".

Yes, it's intuitive.

As I took a step forward, the noise in the white space seemed to disappear, and everything was silent.

Will the future of mankind end or continue at this moment?

——

It is clearly a colorful world, but it seems to be filtered through a layer of nostalgic movie filters.

"Maybe it's because it's been so long that my memory has faded."

The black words "playing tricks" finally appeared. Ni Lan subconsciously wanted to turn back, but she couldn't do it at all.

"It's not time to get to know me yet, kid, take a look at the world first."

The man's voice seemed to have been brewed by time, giving people a sense of security.

Ni Lan felt subconsciously very friendly, as if he was aware of this person's identity.

"What you want to tell me is the truth about the appearance of the zombies."

"Hahaha, very smart."

Ni Lan looked at the so-called "memory". The scene was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. It was a disaster that broke out in another world.

"This is the first alien explosion in this world. Do you see anything?"

"An alien world has appeared...but..."

"Yes, the alien world appeared, but the zombies did not. Doesn't that go against common sense?"

The man confirmed Ni Lan's idea. As everyone knows, the alien world and the zombies will appear at the same time. Unless the alien world is sealed, the zombies will continue to appear.

Yes, this goes against Ni Lan’s understanding of the other world.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

If people who are killed by zombies will also become zombies, then how did the first zombies come about?

Because the other side ends? People who lose hope and consciousness at the end of the other side will also become zombies.

"You're right, but you're not."

The man is deliberately mysterious.

"Hint: The history that appears at the end of the other side is shorter than you think."

The end of the other side...also appeared later?

Ni Lan felt her breathing stop.

This shows that, in the beginning, human death is just death!

There is no end to the other side! No zombies! No other world!

Life and death is a perfect cycle!

Because of the existence of death, life, which is only once, has incomparable and unique meaning!

The existence of the other side and the other world is like adding two redundant bugs to a perfect program.

The program still works, but problems continue to occur.

Until this world completely collapses!

Why?

Why?!

The man who spoke didn't seem surprised by Ni Lan's shock.

The existence of alien worlds and zombies is as common as natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis. They are "nouns" that people are told from birth.

And one day when he grows up, someone tells him that all these things are not supposed to exist, and he will naturally be shocked and doubtful.

What is the truth and what should exist?

"Now, maybe you should think about why the end of the other side exists."

The man was patient and persuasive, and did not tell Ni Lan the truth directly, but hoped that he could figure it out through his own thinking.

Yes, why does the other side exist? Why was it born?

Zombies...Zombies...

ah...

It’s the price.

——

The End of the Beyond was born from the purest desire of mankind.

Fear of death and desire for resurrection.

I am the pillar of my family, I cannot die.

I want revenge, I can't die.

I haven't had a good look at this world yet, I can't die.

This desire continued to expand and merge, and finally became an obsession that could not be eliminated.

Humans fear death and desire resurrection.

The ultimate trigger was the 'original' superpower.

"He made a wish that there would no longer be true death for humans in this world."

Who is he, male or female? Even the man who brought Ni Lan here doesn't know.

But from that day on, everything changed.

Desires that go beyond reality will be distorted and tampered with.

Then, zoom in infinitely.

Ni Lan couldn't say anything else.

This turns out to be the 'truth'.

It turns out that humans are reaping the fruits of their own actions.

"You...you...are the ancestor of the Ni family..."

Ni Lan found that the power that was restraining him had disappeared. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with blue hair and golden eyes.

"Hahaha, yes, it's me."

It was not surprising to be recognized. The man just had some bad taste and wanted to know how long it would take Ni Lan to notice.

Ni Lan's voice was also a little choked.

"You originally wanted to change the status quo and restore human life and death back to normal, right?"

So that's how it is, and this is why the Ni family's ritual of creating gods has never been successful.

Because that ritual was not originally created for the purpose of creating gods!

"Becoming a 'savior' is a process of self-sacrifice. I hope to put human history back on track, but I must pay a corresponding price."

"The price is the loss of the future and the loss of all five senses."

"Ten years later, until all the pain is gone, I will go to the other side, leave death behind, become an existence without a permanent place, and completely destroy the other side."

Ni Lan was silent for a long time.

“But you failed.”

"Yes, I failed. I didn't want my family to worry, so I didn't tell them the truth, but my stupid brother thought that everything I did was to become a god, and he sabotaged the ceremony..."

There is no need to talk about what happened next.

The redemption of the past hundred years was in vain because of one man's foolish desire.

They even regarded the failed ritual as the only way to become a god, which harmed generations of Ni family children.

This is the 'truth'.

The truth about humanity, the truth about the Ni family.

"You want me to finish your unfinished business."

Ni Lan even used interrogative sentences.

"But I am also a 'failure'."

The man shook his head. "No, whether you can do it or not, you are not a failure, kid. You are unique. It is the Ni family that has let you down."

This space belongs to him alone, and he can see Ni Lan's thoughts and memories.

He knew too well the pain of losing all five senses.

"The choice is still in your hands. I don't ask you to sacrifice your life for the future of mankind. This is our own fault."

Are humans innocent? Not everyone desires resurrection. Becoming a zombie is more terrifying than anything else.

But aren't humans innocent? It is the desire of the group that leads to the appearance of the end of the other side.

The resurrection that happens every ten years has indeed come true, but the price is tens of thousands of "useless deaths".

Tens of thousands of zombies helped bring one person back to life.

Ni Lan was silent for a long time, but time seemed to pass in this space.

He remembered a lot of things.

Amo and Ez are still waiting for him.

Are we going to give up the future that we have finally achieved?

But the choice made at this time also concerns the future of mankind.

And the future of mankind also includes Amo and Esther.

The Ni family has been destroyed, and he will never do something as stupid as his ancestor's younger brother. After losing all five senses for ten years, Ni Lan hopes that he will be the last one standing.

He seems to be humanity's last hope.

"I..."

Ni Lan's voice was trembling a little.

In the past ten years, Ni Lan, who had never hesitated and was omnipotent in the eyes of her friends, now seemed so insignificant in the face of "life and death".

The man waited quietly, without urging or making any suggestions.

But he seemed to know Ni Lan's final choice.

"I choose..."
