Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1630 - 53: The Supreme Sun Mermaid and the Innocent Society Member (15)
"Why are you following me?" Kasadia suddenly turned his head.
"We’ve already been discovered. Do you think running in different directions will work? The World Tree has activated the shield, we can’t get out now." Su Ming’an spread his fingers wide, eyes blazing, "Either we cut down the World Tree, or we die here together."
...Cut down the World Tree, is this guy joking! Kasadia stared at the black-haired youth in shock, only to find that this normally unassuming young man’s eyes were particularly bright right now.
Kasadia gritted his teeth and absurdly chose to trust Su Ming’an: "Alright! Bro, let’s chop that big tree down!"
"Swish!"
Countless narcissus petals blossomed from the black-haired youth’s back, like a deity spreading wings, resisting the overwhelming incoming gnarled branches. Su Ming’an’s fingertips gently gathered, focusing tightly on the mana, and threw it towards Yijulai’er.
Kasadia immediately waved his paintbrush, sketching a few soft feathers. The laws twisted accordingly, and the planet’s heavy pressure lost its target in an instant, his body light as the wind.
—His strength approached the very concept itself, lacking strong offensive and defensive power.
"Swish!"
Yijulai’er’s energy condensed into hexagonal spikes that poured down like rain towards the two. Ice crystals splattered, resembling a black hole, at first glance, looking like a stunning and beautiful ice crystal rain.
Kasadia, quick-witted in crisis, swiftly drew a Mobius ring. A miraculous event occurred, they seemed to be spinning in place, yet in the blink of an eye, they eerily approached the World Tree’s trunk, as if the surrounding was cleverly folded.
...This was practically a fraud against physics.
"You actually understand physics," Su Ming’an grabbed Kasadia’s icy hand, opening a path with spatial vibration, where branches and leaves annihilated as they passed.
"Who says being two-dimensional means knowing nothing, you’re discriminating against two-dimensional people! On second thought, you must also be two-dimensional!" Kasadia’s face flushed.
Under Su Ming’an’s lead, the trunk of the World Tree was right before them, in an instant, the bark suddenly bulged, an exceptionally thick branch leaped out over their heads, sweeping across like a crystalline whip! Su Ming’an reacted extremely quickly, immediately grabbing Kasadia’s arm, forcefully throwing him towards the trunk, while rushing towards the branches himself!
"Boom—!"
The view exploded into a kaleidoscope, scarlet ice crystals, amber fluctuations, and cross-star glimmers collided fiercely, like a nuclear bomb burst in the trunk’s center, a turbulent space flow swept past Su Ming’an’s hair, the tips instantly vanished into air. In an instant, thousands of branches spread to the periphery, like smoke extinguished in the night.
—And Kasadia was thrown into the depths of the trunk.
The sky spun and earth turned.
He opened his eyes and saw a gilded seed floating in the void. It shone brilliantly, as if forged from stars and dazzling suns, emitting an awe-inspiring vast aura.
—This is the source of civilization for this planet, it is undergoing dangerous evolutionary processes to become a multiracial world!
With a sudden dash, Kasadia reached out his hand, his body trembling, breath scorching. He didn’t know what this gesture would lead to, but the likelihood was that he would be consumed by the vast energy and turned to ash. Yet knowing touching it may lead to annihilation, he feared being trapped in illusion even more, despite being afraid of pain and darkness, the two-dimensional world still has a heart to break through.
He didn’t want his friends to truly live in a two-dimensional world!
"—Set! GAME-START! Let the world reverse!!" The youth’s face reddened, grabbing without a thought!
While tearing apart the net, Su Ming’an suddenly looked back—
"Crash—!"
The trunk of the World Tree burst with enormous golden light, countless flowing transparent rivers wrapped the two, streaming from the core to the surroundings.
The rivers converged into waterfalls, transparent water surfaces revealing a series of nascent world rule prototypes—dragon wings swept across the sky, elves praised the moonlight, demons whispered in the abyss, angels stood with swords on the clouds...
Everything in sight surged with countless familiar yet unfamiliar scenes—The Day of God’s Fall, War of Eden, Independent War, Genesis, Wraith Incident, Death of Annihilation, Fall of the Gods, Red Sun Descending, Sun and Moon Together...
At this moment, an inexplicable phrase sounded in Su Ming’an’s mind:
—[We have never walked out of the whirlpool of "story".]
Already at this moment, all future events have appeared in the evolving "Seed of the World". The future written, the development written, even the creators who claim to manipulate the storyline are merely a part of this grand narrative.
The seed, it resembles a precisely calculated computer, like a program, like ink, yet like silk thread.
However, at this moment, a voice shouted hoarsely:
"—Brother! Let’s stop it! Let’s reverse it!!"
Blue hair like a waterfall danced, the flushed face youth gripped the seed tightly!
At this moment, Su Ming’an saw—the most dazzling spot in the light was a floating black-haired girl. She was dressed in a gown woven from leaves and light, branches covering her face, the seed Kasadia grasped was actually her heart!
"This is the World Tree...it’s, she’s a person!" Kasadia’s pupils filled with shock. The core of a planet was actually a person!
At this time, sensing the invader, the girl’s lashes trembled, the whole space’s power boiled instantly, pressing towards them! Even Su Ming’an felt the pressure, being targeted by the entire planet, the air seemed to be siphoned.
"Kasadia!" Su Ming’an called out the name with such force for the first time, usually laced with sarcasm, jest, only this time was sincere.
"Brother, I know, I must—" Kasadia knew hesitation meant death. His instinct faster than thought, gripped tightly!
"Swoosh!"
A chilling, eerie sound.
His hand directly pierced through the girl’s slightly rising heart.
"Ah—!!!" The girl instantly emitted an inhuman, pain-filled and shocked cry, the entire space vibrated intensely.
Kasadia instinctively tried to retract his hand, but found his palm firmly stuck, a massive torrent of consciousness, memory, and rules flooded madly into his mind through his arm!
"Aahhhh—!" He curled up in agony, bursting into screams. Countless rivers flickered crazily in his silver eyes. He wanted to seize the World Tree’s "heart", this act close to "possessing the World Tree", yet he was merely human, unable to sustain the entire world’s infusion. Less than a second, and signs of body explosion appeared!
"Switch with me!" Su Ming’an immediately reached out. Humans merely can’t seize the World Tree, the World Tree is in its crucial evolutionary phase, most power used to maintain external shields and nurturing new races, the internal core’s defense is minimal. Luckily, all of Kasadia’s skill points leaned towards "spiritual penetration", "consciousness concealment", and "energy synchronization", he wasn’t violently crushing the World Tree’s consciousness, but like a virus, an insignificant bug, exploiting the World Tree system’s own vulnerabilities and chaotic period, forcibly accessing.
Even so, Kasadia couldn’t succeed, his body too fragile.
Su Ming’an shook off the stunned Yijulai’er, a flash of Cross Light appeared by Kasadia’s side, and he grabbed the young man’s arm forcefully.
That face, as beautiful as glass, suddenly twisted, the bright silver eyes squinted hard, bitterly looking back at Su Ming’an, the entire face seemed about to explode, spewing out body fluids and blood in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
"Brother... hurry... go...! I... can’t let go!" Kasadia struggled to utter the words.
"Take... this information... out...!"
He was both crying and laughing, he wanted to live, but he couldn’t.
"If you have the chance... save me... again...!"
"I don’t want... you all... to become paper people...!"
Endless golden light surged out, turning into repulsion, forcefully pushing everything around him away!
But Su Ming’an kept holding his wrist, not letting go, the Cross Light in space shone like stars, forming the final defense line, firmly blocking the fierce winds that could tear flesh apart around them.
Kasadia was not that annoying at all.
Looking at those painful bright silver eyes, perhaps all two-dimensional beings in the world are alike, preserving within them a purity and passion untouched by growth, always believing one day they can save the world, so Kasadia, in that moment, reached out without thinking.
This quality, untouched by corruption, is naive, rejected by the secular, yet precious. Su Ming’an had not seen such a pure heart in a long time.
The whispers of countless worlds echoed in their minds, Kasadia’s other hand instinctively grabbed a seed - the "Zhai Star Artificial Seed" brought by Su Ming’an, previously buried within the World Tree, which Su Ming’an had dug out again, handing it to the now immobile Kasadia.
"...Don’t want... to disappear..."
"...Humanity must..."
"...New World... rules... by me... second dimension...!"
"...Save!"
History is repeating itself.
Kasadia still became that "traitor", but what he betrayed was not humanity, but Yijulai’er and the World Tree’s original "purification" plan.
With Su Ming’an’s help, Kasadia is forcibly grafting the "seed" of humanity with the "source" of this world!
Humanity could no longer find another planet, they had to come in, if Yijulai’er was unwilling, then they would force the fusion! At the very least, humanity cannot perish in the vast universe, as long as they survive, there is hope.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh——!" A piercing scream erupted, and in the next moment, Kasadia’s fragile human body instantly tore apart, exploding with brain and blood matter, unable to withstand such an impact.
...Am I going to die?
...Finally learned the truth...
...The hard drive isn’t wiped yet...
As Kasadia’s consciousness was about to dissipate, he heard a mocking, elegant voice.
Su Ming’an also heard it, and this voice was extremely familiar to him:
"Unexpectedly, you all seized the perfect timing, just as the World Tree was at its weakest, you took advantage of the void... And you, your soul doesn’t fit here, you don’t seem to belong to this time and space."
In an instant, Su Ming’an recognized who this person was.
— The Second Throne of the Organizers, He actually cast His gaze at this moment!
Kasadia did not recognize this voice, he only knew this was the only lifeline. He used his last bit of conscious awareness to utter the most humble, earnest cry from the depths of his soul:
[...Great Existence! I... I, a vile mortal, beg you! Save us! As long as... as long as you can help me survive this calamity, save my brethren... I’m willing to deceive myself, become your most loyal believer! I will devote my everything!]
The voice seemed more intrigued: "Deceive? Deceive yourself? Kid, if a lie is told a thousand times, even you might come to believe it. By then, will you still be you?"
[Salvation or whatever... it’s too heavy, it should be shouldered by geniuses like Ante and Hui Bai... I just want to watch shows, paint my paintings...] He lamented inwardly, yet his vow was firm: [Yes! I will! I ask you to help me, help me seize the World Tree!]
"Heh... how interesting. Just right, that one with a false smile, spreading cheap ’Joy’ every day, the Third Throne, I’ve long found him distasteful, let me give you a push. You have quite the potential in painting, if you could grow to be my supporter, then I would gladly accept..." The voice chuckled lowly, then looked at Su Ming’an, "And you, do you wish to become my follower too?"
"Dashamao, get lost." Su Ming’an said.
"Hehe..." The voice faded away.
Su Ming’an understood, this was the Second Throne realizing the serendipitous timing in which Kasadia was seizing the World Tree, only lacking a push. Coincidentally, the Second Throne saw Kasadia’s potential in art and decided to give him that push in exchange for Kasadia’s soul allegiance. The Second Throne was intent on acting against the Third Throne, and the vacant seat could be filled by Kasadia, effectively giving the Second Throne a devoted high-dimensional helper.
"Swish!"
A surge of immense strength was injected, skillfully guiding the wild torrent, stealthily integrating the traits of the "Joy" authority, like nutrients being injected into Kasadia’s fiercely transforming soul.
"Ugh ahhhh——!"
Kasadia’s scream suddenly altered, emitting a sound like a soul being forcibly ripped apart and reshaped.
"Crack... Crack..."
The green hair was forcefully pressed into a dye vat by a large hand, absorbing myriad bizarre and peculiar colors. His bones were softening, his form twisting, no longer adhering to human shapes, a rainbow-colored semi-fluid raged wildly.
Most horrifying was his face, once so breathtakingly beautiful, melting and collapsing. The features disappeared in flowing multicolored material... And then, a smooth white porcelain appeared "floating" from his melting face.
—It was a clown mask.
The corners of the mask’s mouth were exaggeratedly drawn, forming a giant smile full of mockery and merriment, covering the slowly descending trails of tears.
"Haa... Haa..." The non-human panting came from under the mask, no longer distinguishable from Kasadia’s original clear voice, only a sharp sound as if tens of thousands simultaneously scoffing remained.
