The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 537 - 447: Lin Guang Completion Project
"What is a dream?"
A calm and gentle, intellectually familiar female voice began to speak.
She softly said, "A dream is the continuation of reality."
Lin Guang blinked and saw the scene before him.
—It was a dim, empty room.
And he was lying in a stone coffin that resembled a meditation pod.
He now appeared again in the illusion realm where the Source Stone’s information was condensed.
But unlike before...
At this moment, he was no longer bound by anything, nor was anything altered; he could now mobilize all his abilities.
Time in the outside world was almost stagnant, as if the existence in the Source Stone had given up everything, focusing solely on maintaining this accelerated-to-the-limit illusion realm. Even if Lin Guang only thought about it, this place would shatter like an eggshell.
The master of the illusion realm just sat beside the stone coffin, gently holding Lin Guang’s hand.
She continued to speak to Lin Guang, "What is reality?"
"Reality is the end of a dream."
Her face was intellectual and lovely, exuding a neighborly big sister vibe, dressed in white, like a researcher’s lab coat, with long black hair draped over her shoulders.
That was Presis.
One of the creators of the [Source Stone] in the Terra World, one of the last few survivors of a great civilization, the origin of all Terrans.
And Lin Guang’s other hand was held by another silent, gentle woman.
She had long pink hair and gentle, sakura-colored eyes.
That was Trissia.
The greatest demon king of the Sakaz race in the Terra World, who fought desperately against the creator of the [Source Stone], hoping to pave a future path for her people and this world.
Dressed in a black hooded coat and crowned, Lin Guang sat up, looking at them, the dark golden gleam in his eyes silently flickering.
"Lin Guang."
Presis looked into his eyes and spoke softly.
"Are you really going to face that cruel reality, that hopeless world?"
"What’s wrong with the world within the Source Stone?"
"This world actually, like the Terra World, has no hope."
"Because what those demons represent behind their actions is true destruction and despair."
"When I came to this world, I realized... the destruction of our Terra, our universe, was only a small ripple caused by them."
"Worlds far more powerful than our universe have also been destroyed; in countless worlds, not a corner hides hope; Blue Star is merely a graveyard, a final gathering place for the defeated." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"So-called Supreme Being, True Man, though strong, are merely delaying the inevitably doomed outcome spreading through the multiverse."
On the other side, Trissia gently shook her head.
"Hope and despair are not things you can see the end of at a glance."
"Blue Star is a miraculous world, and we are all just ignorant seekers."
"Hope may very well be inherent in the miracle formed by the convergence of the essence of countless worlds."
"Lin Guang, the future, and that of this world, don’t need us to dictate, nor do they need eternity to be attained through stagnation."
Their views were like the two ends of a scale.
One held onto hope.
One had already succumbed to despair.
But Lin Guang simply watched them quietly.
At this moment, they could no longer sway his thoughts.
Because he had already won.
Completely won.
Vishdair, along with the efforts of the three girls, and with Trissia’s help, became the decisive strike.
The control of the [Source Stone] within him and the three girls had already changed hands at this moment.
Having obtained almost full access over the [Source Stone], Lin Guang, who was already about to naturally consolidate his true intent, naturally also had control over the world within his heart.
Thus he noticed the status of the two before him.
—They were about to dissipate.
Originally, their existence wasn’t complete, just some core personality information carried by trace amounts of the Source Stone, with even less memory brought along.
Amidst the repulsion of Blue Star and the shift of worldview across time and space, their incomplete personalities and existences were further twisted.
In fact, this situation wasn’t uncommon among otherworldly visitors.
Zaro (Master of Wolves) within Chelina was erased in this way.
That they could continue to exist already proved the tenacity of life force and determination from the otherworldly cataclysm.
They regained completion through entanglement and evolution with the Heart of Terra, though their thought processes remained abnormal, making communication difficult.
Only after Lin Guang achieved decisive victory did rationality reclaim their inner worlds, allowing for this face-to-face exchange.
However... once their obsession akin to enchantment was shattered, their manner of existence naturally reached its end.
This exchange was a debate in terms of thought, but more so a final farewell with Lin Guang, nothing more.
The illusion realm was already crumbling, and the figures of Presis and Trissia began to flicker like a poor signal.
But at that moment, feeling the turbulent spiritual power within and the imminent process of gathering true intent, Lin Guang suddenly gave a gentle smile.
Lin Guang suddenly stood up from the stone coffin and took their hands, pulling them up.
"...?" *2
He then looked at Trissia: "Chasing hope is naturally the right path. Humans mustn’t lose hope, for losing hope for the future means losing everything."
