Final Chapter: Guarding the Shore [21] · "Chapter 6: "Take Me as Home" (by Xiaona, Su Mingan)



White door.

A black and white piano rests in the lake.

“Wow—wow—”

A pair of leather boots stepped into the lake, creating ripples. Su Mingan, wearing an ochre-red hood, held the mask steady with his hands and walked forward.

Several lambs carrying incense burners stared at him curiously and jumped behind him.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The fingers bent and knocked, and the white door was pushed open.

A shadow bathed in various colors of light came out, its image jumping between the elderly, children, men, women, and animals, and finally fixed on a lady with long curly rose-colored hair and eyes as charming as flowers. He opened his eyes and revealed a subtle look:

"...Come to surrender? Have you finally thought it through? Most of the things you value are insignificant on the scale of the universe. Only after you merge with the World Game will your life span be infinite..."

"No, let me ask a question." Su Mingan said calmly.

——Gathering the power of himself and the two first-level gods of Yunshang City, he came to the lake of the World Game and knocked on the white door. This behavior was like turning himself in. He violated the rules and took the initiative to walk to the territory of the World Game.

"Ask?" The lady smiled. "I thought you were here to admit defeat, but you're asking me questions?"

The corners of his bright red robe fluttered as Su Mingan took off his clown mask.

——revealing a face covered in blood, with almost no visible features.

Lin Yin's treatment was very effective. This face had actually rotted once due to the continuous disintegration of flesh and blood, and now it has recovered its original appearance. Su Mingan felt in his pocket, trying to find something to wipe the blood, but he didn't have the habit of carrying a towel with him.

A sheep walked in front of him, treading on the lake water.

It had pure white wool on its head, and its eyes showed a hint of pity, as if it wanted him to bury his face in them.

Su Ming'an did not dirty the sheep's wool. He tore open the corner of his robe to wipe his face and put on the mask again.

Under the bright and dazzling mask smile, he looked at Xiaona.

Xiaona frowned slightly.

"As you can see, I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer. If it weren't for my teammates trying so hard to protect me, my soul would have been reduced to ashes by now." Su Ming'an said, "Before I set off, I want to talk to you one last time."

He fastened the mask tightly to his chin to prevent any blood from showing:

“All actions of life are based on desire.”

"The brain of the world game, you have given Zhai Xing a billion chances. Whether humans win or lose, you will not lose anything, because you will either obtain Zhai Xing or successfully clear the Luowasha instance that has troubled you for a long time."

"I personally hope to achieve the latter. I don't need you to intervene and help me. I just need you to tell me a question."

Su Mingan's calm voice rang out from the empty lake:

"——How can the master of the world completely merge with the world?"

Xiaona's pupils shrank.

A low, muffled, and ambiguous sound emanated from His throat.

"His soul, His authority, His energy, His flesh, His faith, His everything... are completely integrated with the world." Su Mingan looked directly into His eyes, sat down on the piano bench, leaned back slightly, and placed his hands on his thighs:

"Is this idea possible?"

"In this way... should we free up some space to bring along those abandoned people?"

The sheep tilted their heads and stepped on the current.

Xiaona slowly raised her hand and put on a black gauze hat, with the gauze covering her eyes: "How did you come up with this idea?"

"The World Tree." Su Ming'an said, "The World Tree already existed in Luowasha before Hui Bai and the others arrived there. So, I was thinking..."

His eyes suddenly became sharp:

"——Is it possible that the World Tree was once the 'realm master' of Rovatha?"

"It once encountered a similar situation to mine. In order to protect more people, it... no, he or she decided to transform from an independent life into a world consciousness, and into a big tree that was completely integrated with Luowasha. It can never leave and will always be rooted here."

“So, although it has wisdom, it is sometimes lucid and sometimes not.”

The lady in the black hat lowered her head slightly, revealing a pair of bright red lips. Her lips were slightly pressed together as she spoke: "Your conjecture lacks logic. Could it be that the World Tree has a 'brain'?"

"Yes, I also think that the World Tree has a 'brain' that helps it make decisions without wisdom, such as issuing cheat codes and rating stories." Su Mingan said: "According to Si Que's memory, the 'brain' should be named-"

"'Team Mu.'"

[Si Que leaned on the table, smiled and said to the gradually leaving white figure:]

[“I am looking forward to who you choose as the [new protagonist]. Although I think it will be hard to find someone who can compare to Su Mingan.”]

【“Goodbye, it’s not pleasant to chat with you.”】

【“Team Mourinho.”】

"Then...what can it prove?" Xiaona said.

"In addition." Su Ming'an said: "I noticed that Ijurel's identity is called [Watcher], and Noel Ajinni's special identity is also called [Watcher]."

"so."

He lowered his legs and sat up straight:

"The last two companions of the World Lord World Tree are a brain named 'Team Mu' (related to Lu Shu) and a guard named 'Watcher' (related to Noel)."

“It’s really hard not to associate it with this.”

"I don't think this has anything to do with the original theory. It should be that the leader of every civilization will eventually have a configuration similar to that of a brain + a guardian. As for the name 'Team Mu', it may be a legacy of a certain reincarnation, a product of a higher-dimensional spy, or a rewrite by Si Que. It doesn't matter. As long as it's not Lu Shu, it has nothing to do with us."
