Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1423 - 74: TE·Long Years
Yi Song’s pupils constricted.
He stared at Su Ming’an in astonishment, almost thinking that Su Ming’an had misspoken.
Kill who?
Kill Noel?
"...Oh?" The Demon Mother Goddess’s sultry and chilling voice echoed, her tentacles curling around Su Ming’an’s neck.
Su Ming’an slightly raised his head, fingers placed on the tentacles.
The cold breath suddenly was incredibly close, yet he couldn’t even detect the Demon Mother Goddess’s position. After killing five Tri-level Gods, his combat power soared to 7800 points. But as expected, a First Level God’s strength was still above his.
"...What price are you willing to pay?" The Demon Mother Goddess whispered.
"I fear there is nothing on me you covet. But I know the Fifth and Eleventh Thrones of the Organizers. As long as you help me contact them, they should be able to offer you something satisfactory." Su Ming’an’s fingernail pinched the tentacle.
"Oh... heh heh, heh heh heh... such a cunning child, trying to make a profit without investment?" The Demon Mother Goddess let out a laugh without any fluctuation, the tentacle tightened a bit more, causing Su Ming’an’s face to flush red.
"Otherwise... what do you... want...?" Su Ming’an breathed heavily.
"Don’t you know?"
"I don’t... know."
"—You."
"What...?"
Suddenly, the tentacle released, and Su Ming’an coughed a few times, catching his breath.
In the next moment, the tentacle transformed into an indistinct purple-black shadow.
The Demon Mother Goddess manipulated the shadow, inching closer: "I crave the secrets on you—I crave you."
Yi Song watched with relish from the side; previously, he wanted to learn Su Ming’an’s "healing" method for others, and now it seemed indeed extraordinary, clearly doing nothing yet others approached actively. Yi Song’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal admiration for Su Ming’an, this "senior," feeling he still had much to learn.
"It’s merely killing a Noel Agnini, and you want me as the price?" Su Ming’an said coldly.
"Oh. ’Merely killing a Noel Agnini,’ such an arrogant statement," the Demon Mother Goddess said, "Alright, then how about this—I teach you how to retain emotion during Dimensional Ascension, and you, after ascending, pull me out of Luowasha."
It seemed the twenty-seven native gods of Luowasha were indeed trapped in Luowasha. Without external interference, it was hard to leave the shackles of Luowasha.
"As for killing Noel Agnini..." The Demon Mother Goddess seemed to ponder for a second, mischievously saying: "Why not make a bet with me."
"What bet?"
"Bet whether Noel Agnini really has something hidden. If not, I’ll kill him without you paying any price. If he does, and I kill him, you’ll have to play with me."
"No." Su Ming’an glanced at Yi Song’s bustling scene and immediately refused: "I don’t accept."
Unexpectedly, the Demon Mother Goddess laughed: "As expected, you’re still hoping Noel has something hidden. Otherwise, if you truly believed as you claimed, that Noel has nothing hidden, you wouldn’t reject such superior terms."
...This First Level God could indeed speculate on human thoughts too well.
Su Ming’an pursed his lips.
"It looks like, in the end, killing Noel is still left to you. I am responsible for teaching you how to retain emotions during Dimensional Ascension, making you stronger." The Demon Mother Goddess said indifferently: "The Eleventh Thrones is restricted by essence and generally cannot descend to Luowasha. I can indeed contact the Fifth Thrones, but he is currently busy fighting the Master of the End of All Things and can’t come."
Su Ming’an’s eyes widened... The Fifth Thrones Starfire already started confronting the Master of the End of All Things head-on!? That explains why the Master of the End of All Things has shown no major movements, not even releasing fries, as they were contained.
Starfire, a truly kind person.
Next, as the Demon Mother Goddess toyed with Yi Song, she taught Su Ming’an how to retain emotions during Dimensional Ascension:
"Combat power above 8000 points is the ’God’ level, also known as the ’Human God,’ meaning a human like a deity."
"At this high combat level, the gap between humans and gods isn’t significant, just like how you can easily slay a Tri-level God."
"You can indeed elevate your combat power to 9999 points and then ascend, but there’s no need. Your current 7800 points are already sufficient to retain emotions when becoming a Tri-level God. You have the Energy, Authority, and Faith, allowing you to first become a Tri-level God retaining emotions. In future, as these three elements grow stronger and your combat power further increases, ascending to Second-level God, First Level God, High Dimensions will be a natural progression."
"Just like the famous ’The Day of God’s Fall,’ you must have heard of this event, where the God of Intelligence was targeted by the gods, shedding from Second-level God to First Level God."
"As a friendly piece of information, Noel has already advanced to Tri-level God of Causality, his mana evolved into divine power, and his overall combat power further improved."
"If you don’t ascend step by step, fear is your emotions will not hold once you leap from human to high-dimensional being."
After hearing the Demon Mother Goddess’s words, Su Ming’an pondered for a long time.
...Become a Tri-level God first?
"Then what is the price?" Su Ming’an asked.
"Once on this path, there’s no turning back," the Demon Mother Goddess said, "Once you step onto the path of godhood, you can never return to humanity. A normal life is completely out of reach, and you can’t think about going home to live a peaceful life. You must ascend to High Dimensions on this path."
"Moreover, even if this allows maximum retention of emotions, inevitably, the closer you get to a true god, the more emotions fade."
"So, dear child, I advise you to embrace my embrace and join my paradise, where you don’t have to think about anything, and nothing will hurt..."
Su Ming’an closed his eyes, opened them a moment later: "I’ll consider it."
He passed by Yi Song without a glance, for fear the mosaic-filled scene would hurt his eyes, and headed for the Undead Zone.
He needed to remotely consult the World Tree to verify if what the Demon Mother Goddess said was true. If it was true, he would embark on the path of ascension.
He was indeed afraid.
But thinking of the worst ending, he suddenly wasn’t afraid anymore.
Ultimately, it must result in perfection for the majority.

["Creator Association Notice to All Luowasha": Currently, under the guidance of a colored cube sugar, the first batch of spiritually highest Luowasha people have entered Eden.]
[Tester body states are good, mental states are normal, with no significant negative reactions.]
[This constructed world is undoubtedly qualified.]
[The second batch of testers is about to enter, and reports will continue at that time.]
Sincerely,
...
"—Master! Master! Where are we going?" Hui Bai followed a pink-haired girl.
In the chaotic crowd, everyone was busy making strawberry crisps, only the two of them moved against the flow.
Xiao Bai raised her head, glancing at the brilliant red sun.
Hui Bai had just been reborn from the ocean in a young form, only to be forcibly infused with past life memories by Xiao Bai, maturing into a youthful form.
"Master, how many years have passed since I died on Divine Mountain? Where did senior brother go, and where did senior sister go?" Hui Bai looked around, unable to find senior brother Sique and senior sister Qianqin.
"Listen closely, Hui Bai." Xiao Bai suddenly turned serious, staring at Hui Bai.
Hui Bai’s expression became serious, immediately nodding.
"Unlike countless previous resets, this is likely the last reset, so I can’t slowly wait for you to grow to age five to pick you up at the village," Xiao Bai said sternly.
...
[In Maizi Village, a child’s cry echoed, marking the birth of a child from the Hui family.]
[Five years later, at night, a pink-haired girl held a red umbrella, quietly standing under the eaves.]
[Waiting from dusk until late at night, the pink-haired girl, having waited the entire night, put down the umbrella, slowly turned, and she must leave now.]
[It seems, after all, she won the bet.]
[She folded the umbrella and walked away.]
["——Can I go with you?"]
[Suddenly, a tender voice of a five-year-old child came from behind.]
[——Memory Clip No. 1316·"Did I ever have a true heart? (Part 2)"]
...
Due to Hui Bai’s reincarnation, the reset appears more chaotic on him. His reincarnation order is: (First Life) a child in the valley during the Second Epoch, luckily taken as a disciple by Xiao Bai——(Several lives later) a Red Tower Scoundrel in the Fourth Epoch, riding the Cat Car and going shopping and fortune-telling with Su Ming’an at the start of an instance.
Due to Hui Bai and Xiao Bai’s bet, each time Hui Bai reincarnates, Xiao Bai would come to Hui Bai’s village, and when Hui Bai turns five, take him away.
If the reset started from the Fourth Epoch, the gentle and scheming Red Tower Scoundrel Hui Bai would immediately follow Xiao Bai’s thinking, able to understand what the Rin Clan and reset are. Unfortunately, this reset started from the Second Epoch. At this point in time, Hui Bai is only one year old. Xiao Bai can’t wait for Hui Bai to grow up slowly and can only forcibly catalyze him into a young man. Therefore, the simple and innocent Hui Bai of this period could only remember the matters of his first life and knew nothing else.
Hui Bai stared blankly back at Xiao Bai.
He didn’t know of the reset, nor how many times Xiao Bai waited for him. He only remembered his past life’s master, senior brother, and senior sister.
"It’s okay if you don’t remember. If you don’t remember, there is no pain." Xiao Bai looked at Hui Bai and patted his head: "Forget everything in the Red Tower Kingdom in your future, from now on, it’s not bad either."
"Did I do something terrible in the future?" Hui Bai asked in confusion.
"Not really, it’s just that you become a super big scoundrel, and a charming green tea." Xiao Bai spoke frankly.
Hui Bai was dumbfounded.
He shook his head: "I have always hated central heating, I absolutely won’t become a person full of tea aroma."
Xiao Bai chuckled twice.
Then, Xiao Bai raised his head, his gaze seeming to penetrate everything:
"The World Master will certainly seize this chaotic opportunity to try to harm the World Tree. Su Ming’an is, after all, still a Zhai Xing person. He has no obligation to be the caretaker of Luowasha and won’t become the new owner of [Eden]. We must create a qualified new owner as soon as possible."
This is why Sique had to write out an heir. On the day Sique went into slumber, he originally wanted the World Master or Qi Zhou to take over [Eden]. Who knew that the World Master and Qi Zhou would both become rebellious, not only refusing to take over but also kicking the stall.
Therefore, a more suitable successor must be made urgently now.
"Can’t you be the successor?" Hui Bai asked.
"I..." Xiao Bai lowered his head, smiling wryly: "I can’t, I am a [Watcher], even if you all went to Eden, I can’t leave Luowasha. I must live and die with this land."
Hui Bai vaguely sensed something ominous, he wanted to inquire, but Xiao Bai spoke first:
"——Alright, I’ve been too reclusive all my life, besides you, Qianqin, and Sique, there’s no one else I can trust. Now that Sique is asleep, Qianqin is too far away, only you I can reach, Hui Bai. You need to help me create Eden’s new owner."
"Create?" Hui Bai tasted the word.
"Eden’s new owner needs to be not much worse than Sique." Xiao Bai said: "We need to pile all the beauty and strength on this person—the identity of Rin Clan, the purest soul, the strongest potential. Additionally, this person cannot have the vileness, greed, and selfishness of humans. After all, there’s too few people with Sique-style virtue, everyone succumbs to desires."
"I understand." Hui Bai nodded: "I will help you create together."
In this world, everyone has desires and vileness. Perhaps only a man-made product can be flawless and untainted.

"...is it all right? I understand."
In the room, Su Ming’an turned off the watch Ah Du.
He remotely contacted the World Tree. Regarding the statement of the Demon Mother Goddess, the World Tree gave a positive answer. Then, he inquired Xiao Love and Colored Cube Sugar and received positive answers as well.
Sitting at the table, he looked at the growing Red Sun, and chuckled.
"...Ha."
"Alright."
"Alright, alright, alright."
He seemed to be comforting himself, or perhaps just sighing softly.
...It seems that this path must be taken.
His finger brushed over the white Perfect Pass pattern mark on the back of his hand, looking at this white flower pattern.
...The Path of Ascension.
Once stepped upon, there is no turning back.
"...Actually, I already couldn’t turn back." Su Ming’an suddenly understood. Did he have a way to turn back? There was none long ago.
He still harbored a fluke mentality, dreaming of becoming an ordinary person? Dreaming that everyone would return to live a plain, happy life together?
Drunk, unaware of the sky reflected in the water, the full boat of dreams presses against the Star River.
——Back then on the boat, everyone, while spearing fish, made their vows to return home—maybe these were ultimately the empty words of youth.
...
["And seven months later, at that time..."]
[Su Ming’an faced the companions on the boat, and they also looked back at him.]
[Drunk, unaware of the sky reflected in the water, the full boat of dreams presses against the Star River.]
[He lowered his head slightly, then with a smile:]
["We will go home together."]
...
Lies.
All lies.
All fake.
Reality is not fairy tale.
Is he still expecting to play with someone in his hometown?
Su Ming’an placed his finger on his collarbone, the stars of the "Devour" authority and "Faith" authority started to shimmer.
"Then." He gently exhaled:
"Let’s begin."
