—Noel Akinni went to the stars.
He ran towards the illusory spring.
…
Su Mingan put away all his gaffes, all his attempts to keep someone from leaving, and all his weakness, and his gaze towards Noel quickly turned indifferent.
It's no big deal.
It's just that in this world, there is no one who knows the secret language between souls, no one who can know his will to die without words and lead him out of the quagmire of time.
There is no one waiting for him downstream of the long river of time, leaning on a cane at the beginning and end of time.
No one is handing out strawberry pudding on the Unfalling Goose anymore, looking at the sunflowers all over the mountains.
No one will stand in the spotlight anymore, humming a song as they walk towards the organizer, leaving him to rest behind the sun.
Among millions of possibilities, millions of roads, millions of strangers, and millions of confusing options...Su Mingan once only dared to be sure of the truth about Noel.
Now, the friend who once took him to the amusement park has overturned the building block castle he built with his own hands.
Su Ming'an could understand Noel's thoughts. This thought was completely reasonable, inevitable, irreversible, and unchangeable - this was the most fatal point.
"Best friends are real, cooperation is real, anchors are real, bonds are real... leaving is also real," he said softly.
Everything was stable, real, and irreversible. No one had done anything wrong, and no matter how hard they tried to save the situation, things were destined to continue to slide to this point.
Su Mingan admitted that he had only been thinking about his ideal all along - protecting Zhai Xing. And there were more things he didn't dare to think about, and couldn't think about. Just to do this one thing, he already needed to pay all his energy and price. He gambled on his future, his power, and his entire self...
He couldn't even think about whether there were parallel worlds, and whether this was an endless cycle. Would he be able to reach the end according to his own ideas and have a happy ending with everyone returning home?
The probability is not high.
The answer to the ending given by the god An means that at least Noel's ending will not be the best.
But Su Mingan couldn't think too far ahead. He valued his hometown and old friends more than anything else, including his own future and life. As long as there was still hope in the final result, even if it was just a glimmer of hope, he would always move towards this glimmer of hope.
But Noel was more greedy and long-term, his sights were on the entire universe - for him, he wanted to find the ultimate solution to all problems, and he was more afraid than Su Mingan that this was an endless reincarnation quagmire. He was curious about where Su Mingan's power came from, but he didn't dare to put all his hopes on Su Mingan's power.
Therefore, in order to realize his more greedy and grand blueprint, Noel must choose to leave Zhaixing and move to a higher dimension. Only by giving up his weak human body can he ascend to a higher level. But this journey must come at a price. He cannot take the entire Zhaixing with him, as the planet is too heavy. He cannot allow himself to sit here on pins and needles, wait hopelessly, and decay.
——Just like the trolley problem.
Facing the oncoming tram, Su Ming'an's idea is to meet it with himself and die again and again. As long as he piles up enough bodies, the tram will stop.
But Noel thought, even if he stopped the tram once, so what? There would be a second tram, a third tram... The speed at which they piled up bodies might not be able to keep up with the speed at which new trams were sent out. So Noel would decisively leave the track, go to the end of the track, look for the person who sent the tram, and completely stop the new tram. The price was that since he did not stand in front of the first tram, the first tram might run over Zhai Xing who was tied to the track.
For Noel, the eternal law of utopia is greater than his hometown. For a pure, perfect, and eternal world, he chooses not to carry any more burdens and goes directly to a distant place to solve the root problem.
For Su Mingan, hometown is greater than the eternal law of utopia. He values his hometown and old friends more than anything else. Even if it is a burden, he insists on carrying it on his back, even if it means falling into eternal reincarnation. As long as there is a little hope, he will choose to stay and protect this little spark.
Therefore, Noel is bound to take a completely opposite path from Su Mingan.
——Su Mingan can’t leave.
——Noel can’t stay.
Like two stars, they intersect for a brief moment, but will eventually slide into different orbits.
However, this moment of intersection may be the most shining moment in a long time, leaving an indelible mark on both stars.
Secret code, handover, rose cane, 33rd week, magician under the moonlight, long river, never-falling wild goose, golden sunflower.
From now on, everything is just this “moment”.
One is a realistic idealist.
One is a romantic idealist.
[Ideal], and [Ideal].
There is no difference, and there is no high or low.
No matter how strong the friendship, how deep the memories, or how far the connection across time and space is, they cannot cover up the independent and brilliant ideals.
——This is what they knew in their hearts from the beginning. Regarding ideals, Nuoer never lied to Su Mingan, and always spoke frankly——
…
【I want to embrace higher dimensions and the new world】.
…
Su Ming'an never raised any objection. He knew this very clearly and would never try to distort Noel's ideals.
Even though he knew that the sword of Damocles was bound to fall ahead, he still respected Noel.
The few attempts he made to retain her were just five sentences:
