Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1350 - 1: "You Have a Radiant Future
The Deity Mingโan has been reading a book lately. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
A book called "Global Crossing: Infinite World Tree Evolution Starting from the Confined Prince".
What drew Him to it were the story tags like "Game Otherworld, All Heavens Flow, Apocalypse, Reversal, Western Fantasy, Thrilling", which He found very interesting.
The reason He wanted to read was because He felt He had lost many emotions, so the World Tree suggested He read more books.
"Books are the mental libraries of every Creator. Through reading, you can experience the myriad emotions of countless people. Read more, and perhaps youโll understand what emotions are," said the World Tree.
"Iโm very busy, no time to read," said the Deity Mingโan. As a deity, He had many things to do. He was constantly planning with the World Tree on counter-killing the World Game.
"Itโs okay, fragmented rest time is enough for reading," said the World Tree. "I have a story leaderboard here, choose a book to read. If you really canโt get into it, then never mind."
The World Tree collected the stories of all Creators from Luowasha. Whenever someone wrote a new story, it would automatically be added to the World Tree.
Tens of billions of stories were dazzling. At first, the Deity Mingโan casually picked a few books from the sea of books, only to be left with a head full of question marks.
"...Why does this protagonist lose control just by coming into contact with the opposite sex?" The Deity Mingโan pointed at a story, confused.
"I donโt know either," said the World Tree. "Maybe itโs not to your taste, you can change the book."
"...Why did it say the protagonist had grand ambitions in the beginning, but his final wish was just to be a boot-licker and have hundreds of children?" The Deity Mingโan read another book.
"I donโt know," said the World Tree. "Try another."
The Deity Mingโan read a few more books, feeling like His brain was about to vanish. He asked the World Tree confusedly, "Why do you include all these strange stories? I just canโt get into them."
Calmly, the World Tree replied: "Since theyโve been written, they all have their existence value, and are the painstaking efforts of the Creator. Taste is a very personal thing. What you think is arsenic, may be honey to others. Thatโs why Iโve always been suggesting you change. You just havenโt found the story you want. In my eyes, there are no absolutely good stories, nor absolutely bad stories."
The Deity Mingโan thought for a moment, seemingly understanding something: "So, the story leaderboard you list isnโt actually about good stories in the eyes of the public, but the stories you personally like."
The World Tree said, "Yes."
The Deity Mingโan looked at the leaderboard.
Titles like "I Became the World Treeโs Younger Sister, Pampered by Three Rin Clan Brothers and Sisters (by Mei Yani)", "Phoenix Arrogant Nine Heavens: Shocking Six Miss (by Mizushima Kawa Sora)", "Years with Sique (by Ian)", "Black and White (by Lรผ God)", "What Kind of Person is Olivius Really (by Mr. Su unwilling to disclose their name)", "The Last Supper (by Boris)"...
Upon looking through these, His heart was still not deeply moved. Although the plots were exciting, they just werenโt to His taste.
Finally, His gaze fell upon the number one story on the leaderboard.
โ"Global Crossing: Infinite World Tree Evolution Starting from the Confined Prince."
A very eye-catching title.
Could this be the World Treeโs favorite story?
The Deity Mingโan only intended to casually glance, but once opened, He couldnโt stop.
The storyโs plot was full of ups and downs. Upon first entering the Red Tower, the protagonist was immediately contested over by the Blood Prince, Dragon Clan Emperor, Elf King... and many royals. However, the Jellyfish Emperor smirked, entering the fray, teasing sentient beings and stirring up storms.
The story also included many supporting roles. A mysterious white-haired girl, a blue-haired boy who just wants to be a supporting role, and the tea art savvy Hui Family brothers...
Who says there is no Great Emperor in Luowasha? Just watchโJellyfish Emperor Huo Zhonghang, traveling in wind and rain with ease!
The Deity Mingโanโs emotions were gradually drawn by the storyโs protagonist, smoothing His brows with the protagonistโs joy, confused by the protagonistโs sorrow. The storyโs twists were always unexpected, and the abundant emotional entanglements opened His eyes wide, soon becoming His favorite book.
Everything about the protagonist tugged at His heart, He had never been so concerned about others.
"...The World Treeโs taste is surprisingly good, I like this story," thought the Deity Mingโan. "This protagonist named Su Liujin, his actions really suit my taste, almost like he is me."
He liked the storyโs protagonist greatly, not because the protagonist had white hair, but because the protagonistโs thinking was very similar to His own.
Unfortunately, this bookโs updates were too slow. Up to now, there were only thirteen Chapters, and one had to wait half a day to a day for the next Chapter, making one scratch oneโs head in anticipation.
Every time after finishing preparations for counter-killing the World Game, the Deity Mingโan would return under the World Tree, brew a pot of tea, open this real-time updated book, and savor it.
...
[Chapter 1: Final Act - Illusory Destruction of Luowasha, Icarus Cutting Creation.]
โThe opening starts with everyone dead, protagonist Su Liujin has a horror dream, laughing with his head in his hands as the Red Sun descends.
...
[Chapter 2: The Cat-Eared Maidโs Refusal.]

...
[Chapter 5: Liujinโs First Encounter with the Heroine, Samantri Enjoys Life]
โThe heroine appears.
As the other protagonist without a romantic subplot in the story, she is elegant, strong, without blushing or making curious cute noises, and does not relinquish her dignity for the male protagonist, seemingly very reliable.
By this point, the Deity Mingโan was already captivated.
...
[Chapter 6: Donโt bully the jellyfish]
โAs expected of a thrilling story, this Chapter was very comforting.
...

...
[Chapter 10: Am I Really Sique?]
โThe Jellyfish Emperor unparalleled. Love to see it.
...
[Chapter 11: Little Magpieโs Golden Wheat Ear]
โThis Chapter writes about Siqueโs story. The Deity Mingโan has no fondness for this magpie.
...
[Chapter 12: A White Story]
โThis Chapter writes about the Goddess of Lifeโs story. The Deity Mingโan has no fondness for the Goddess of Life.
However, the Jellyfish Emperor travels freely across the world. Love to see it.
...
โThe last plot ends abruptly here.
After the Red Sun descends, the protagonist leaps down from the Tower of Babel, rejecting the hands of the Sea Emperor and Boris, directly plunging and smashing into a pile of flesh.
...Why did the plot suddenly end here, did the protagonist really die?
The Deity Mingโan stared at the last line "Su Liujin falls, dead without a whole corpse," closing the book in a daze.
He couldnโt deny it, He was completely immersed, addicted to reading, the most relaxing time of His day was reading this protagonistโs adventures.
Of course, He didnโt want this story to end.
But every story has an ending day.
No matter how many pages, there will be a last one.
During the reading, many times, He had thoughts of "The protagonist is too tired, rest for a while," but He was merely an observer.
Many times, He even felt the world was deliberately making things difficult for the protagonist, otherwise, why make him endure so many hardships, unable to obtain, yet unable to let go?
Upon seeing the text stopping at this moment, an idea popped into His headโeven if the protagonist dies like this, it wouldnโt be bad, at least heโd be liberated.
But soon, He still felt... He shouldnโt unilaterally decide for the protagonist; the protagonist should really want to live.
He doesnโt want to die, does he?
He has never wanted to die.
It can be seen from the little details, the narrative descriptions, and the protagonistโs forced smile.
The Deity Mingโan found the World Tree: "I finished reading the story you recommended, caught up to the latest page, itโs very good, I like it a lot."
The World Tree happily shook its branches and leaves.
The Deity Mingโan said: "But why does the protagonist jump off a building to commit suicide at the end? Heโs not a person who gives up on himself, why would he end his life?"
The World Tree said: "Didnโt you realize who the protagonist is?"
The Deity Mingโan said: "Isnโt it someone named Su Liujin? I donโt know them."
The World Tree said: "What about the authorโs name? Did you look at it?"
The Deity Mingโan glanced at it, only to realize that the Creator of this story is actually... [Su Mingโan].
"...Su Mingโan?" The Deity Mingโan saw the name: "Is that me?"
He never had the habit of looking at the Creatorโs name, as the Creator only stuffs Memory Clips, and all the text is generated by the World Tree. Essentially, itโs the World Tree thatโs the Recorder of all stories.
At this moment, He looked seriously and found out that this was actually a book ofโhis own.
However, after becoming a god, He lost most of his memory, so He didnโt consider his past self to be himself. His thoughts, emotions, and character are different, and they cannot be considered the same person.
Besides, He felt that he might not be Su Mingโan himself, but a creation. After all, Su Mingโan is the only real one, an independent entity.
As for the slicing into three parts, that was not His doing.
"I like his story, I want to meet him," the Deity Mingโan said.
"Itโs possible, he should be coming over soon," said the World Tree.
"Did he come alone?"
"No, he came with 34 players."
"We only need him, not the others, letโs get rid of these 34 people."
"Okay, Iโll โrecordโ them first, then I can kill them."
"Mm."
"After the Red Sun descended, Iโm feeling a bit tired, I need to rest, do as you wish."
"Okay, then Iโll just sit here."
The Deity Mingโan sat down.
A round table, a cup of hot tea, a jar of Fang Tang.
He had the habit of adding a lot of Fang Tang to his tea because he always felt it was too bitter... way too bitter.
When He first became a god, He only added one piece, then gradually two, three...
Now, He usually needs eight pieces of Fang Tang to perceive a hint of sweetness.
Finally, under the beautiful crystal tree canopy, in the silent sound of blood flow, that person came toward him, Noelโs head hanging on his chest.
โโThe protagonist in the story, the Creator of the story.
Su Mingโan arrived.
"โโWhat are you really trying to do? What made you come into existence?" Su Mingโan drew his sword, pointing it at the Deity Mingโanโs chest.
The Deity Mingโan pointed to the table; it was the physical book "Global Crossing: Infinite World Tree Evolution Starting from the Confined Prince", He wanted to discuss this book with Su Mingโan.
But suddenly He widened His eyes.
That book... At some point, the title had changed.
It had gradually turned intoโ"Number One Player (Su Mingโan)".
He immediately opened this book, and the content was completely changed; it was no longer about Su Liujin, but about Su Mingโan. The story was no longer about the Jellyfish Emperor dominating Luowasha but about Su Mingโan venturing through the World Game from the novice stage.
He felt confused, and after a moment, He thought of the reason.
โโAt this moment, Su Mingโan replaced Su Liujin as the protagonist.
Therefore, the "camera" (Narrative Anchor Point) was no longer on Su Liujin but fell on Su Mingโan. The story thus automatically changed. The original main storyline was "Su Liujin dominates Luowasha," but now the main storyline became "Su Mingโan counter-kills the World Game."
Now, with the chaotic flow of time, the Narration Anchor Point flies around, and the replacement of protagonists is common; itโs not surprising.
The Deity Mingโan looked at this book; the content was very little, with only the first Chapter, and the rest were all blank. As if waiting for the World Tree to fill in. After all, this book had just transitioned and was still a new book.
His mind movedโโ
Since Su Mingโan could replace Su Liujin as the protagonist, then why couldnโt He replace Su Mingโan as the protagonist?
Becoming the protagonist has many benefits, like gaining the favor of the World Consciousness.
To usurp the position, one must seize the proportion of the original protagonist in the story and make oneโs importance appear to be above the protagonist.
Thus, staring at the first Chapter of this book, the Deity Mingโan spoke.
โโHe had already thought of how to make his importance appear to be above Su Mingโanโs.
Just need to insert a few sentences.
"...From now on, you will constantly despair, constantly hope."
"...You will lose everything, and gain everything."
"...You will redeem everyone, and kill everyone..."
Accompanied by His gentle words, a Memory Clip gradually formed, falling into His hands.
He inserted this Memory Clip into the blank pages after the first page, and sure enough, brand new text was forming.
...
[Su Mingโan heard a sudden announcement, a gentle male voice.]
["โโFrom now on, you will constantly despair, constantly hope."]
["โโYou will lose everything, and gain everything..."]
["..."]
["...You will always have a bright and radiant future."]
...
That is how He clipped the storyline, pieced it together, and completed the first Chapter.
The manual traces are heavy, not a naturally developed story at all.
"What are you doing? God." Perhaps knowing sudden violence was useless, Su Mingโan kept looking at Him.
"I am altering your story," the Deity Mingโan truthfully said:
"From now on, your will would always be altered when people see it."
"I donโt care about that." Su Mingโan said directly:
"โThe significance of a โstoryโ is something I donโt care about. Whether itโs a universal record, an energy consciousness field, a single-electron interference, a civilization storage box... These concepts, I donโt care about and do not understand."
"I donโt care what kind of book will be formed after I die."
"I only care about why you want to kill everyone. What does โsolidificationโ mean?"
Under the crystalline branches, the wind rustled.
The Deity Mingโan closed the book and took hold of the Sword of Yarman:
"Su Mingโan, before answering all this, I want to ask you a question."
"You only need to answer with your true thoughts."
"This question has no fixed answer."
"After answering, I will tell you everything."
Su Mingโan looked at Him steadily.
He slowly opened his mouth, uttering a gentle male voiceโโ
...
"Do you prefer a HAPPY ENDING (HE), BAD ENDING (BE), NORMAL ENDING (NE), or TRUE ENDING (TE)?"
...
