【I am wandering in deep darkness and depression,】
【Traveling through the numerous dangerous shoals and reefs around. 】
But I hope that after this storm,
[My Helice, the North Star of my life, will shine again and finally illuminate me.]
【——"Spenser's Sonnets"】
…
[Laniakea Supercluster, Virgo Cluster, Milky Way, Orion Arm, Zhai Star. ]
[Our hometown is a tiny star in the vast universe. ]
[The pioneer Hui Bai set out with 100 million people. 】
[He named his little world "Lovasa", which means "happiness, well-being, and eternity." ]
[During their long journey, they passed by many civilizations. These civilizations might be primitive, or their resources might be scarce, and none of them could support long-term human habitation.]
[The small world was not fully developed yet, so it only looked like "half a planet". When the resources were almost exhausted, they discovered a colorful planet.]
…
[In the early days of the First Era, Rovatha was not a complete planet, but half a planet. Of course, half a planet cannot survive for long. After wandering in the universe for a long time, Rovatha found another complete and habitable planet and decided to move to the new planet collectively.]
[——The 1306th Drama Memory Lens: "The Terrifying Second Dimension"]
…
[After preliminary investigation, this mirror planet has a suitable environment and is suitable to become a temporary residence for the small world. ]
[On this planet, there is a very unique life - a big tree with roots all over the planet. ]
[“I’ll try to negotiate.” Huibai grew a pair of pink-blue scale feathers and flew to the planet alone.]
[After landing, he saw the desolate land, huge trees, and a girl with pink hair. ]
[The pink-haired girl is called Ijurel, she is the local "watcher", responsible for protecting this planet. She is wearing a white plain skirt, wooden clogs, and a bright red Lycoris radiata on her shoulder.]
[Facing Hui Bai, she said calmly: "The World Tree agrees that you can live here, but the price is that you are not allowed to keep your memories."]
[“…What?” Hui Bai thought of many costs, such as sacrificing lives, or paying resources, but he never thought that the cost would be their “memories”. ]
[Ijurel slowly approached, his glass-like eyes piercing people's hearts: "After all, you have experienced the World Game, and your strength is not weak. I am worried that after you move in, your deep-rooted thoughts of your homeland will make you regard the locals as enemies. This place can be your residence, but it cannot become a colony where you can do whatever you want - so you must lose your memories and truly integrate into this place."]
[Hui Bai suddenly felt a strong resistance - losing his memory, forgetting his hometown, forgetting his origins and responsibilities, what is the difference between this and death!? If he really becomes like that, he will probably just be a walking corpse without a goal.]
[“If you want me to lose my memory and become the kind of person who spends all day wandering around the streets—you might as well kill me!” Hui Bai gnashed his teeth. ]
[In Ijurel's glass-like pupils, there was no complacency, no mockery, no condescending attitude, just calmness, as calm as water.]
[She looked up at the boundless starry sky: "...I'm sorry."]
[She could not accept anything other than this condition. She had to be responsible for the civilization she was in and could not just casually bring in a bunch of outsiders.]
【Hui Bai also knew that Ijulaire had done his best.】
[Bitterness exploded in his heart. He thought of how high-spirited he was before he left, and of the promise he made to his old friend—"Don't be afraid. The 100 million of us are just setting off first. When the 1 billion of you players come to our world, we will meet again."]
[But now...reunion? Reunion?]
[The speed of time flowing inside and outside the world game is inconsistent. By the time one billion players arrive here, thousands or tens of thousands of years may have passed in this world. The one hundred million people who have lost their memories have already changed beyond all recognition! ]
【“Ah…” In pain, Hui Bai heard the girl sigh. 】
[She looked at him with clear eyes, seeing the self-blame in his eyes.]
【“Why do you blame yourself?” Ijurel was puzzled. 】
[…Maybe I shouldn’t have taken 100 million people away from the World Game. This was certainly for the sake of a desperate effort, but regardless of the outcome, I should be responsible for it.” Hui Bai said in a low voice.]
[“Eh? But this is your joint decision, why should you be the only one to bear the responsibility?” Ijurel’s tone slightly quickened.]
[“Because I’m the ‘number one player.’” Hui Bai sighed, “So I have to bear everything.”]
【At this time, Ijurel took out a notebook and wrote something. 】
【Hui Bai asked: "What are you writing?"】
【Eccurabilis showed it to him.】
[The conversation between the two was translated by the World Tree. This is a notebook of Ijurel, filled with strange contents:]
[Humans: A selfish, stupid, and occasionally clever race.]
[Zhai Xingren: Outsiders who want to live here have a strong attachment to their hometown.]
[Hui Bai: He looks handsome, but he’s quite stupid.]
[“…Idiot?” Hui Bai couldn’t help but correct him: “Why do you say that to me?”]
[Ijurel snapped his notebook shut and said calmly, "Life's survival is an instinct, and you don't care about your own life. I can only understand that you are stupid."]
[Hui Bai smiled bitterly, there are too many things more important than life. ]
