The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"You Mu, if I am no longer Tian Dao, will you support me?"

You Mu stroked the ball of light lying on his knees. He did not ask why Tian Dao had such an idea. He just asked softly, "Aren't I the one who is raising you in all these small worlds?"

“…That’s right.” Suddenly remembering the experience of eating and drinking in the previous small world, Tiandao held his head in shame and jumped up and down.

"You Mu, do you want to get rid of the identity of a villain?" Tiandao blinked, looked up at You Mu, and asked again.

"You once told me that the birth of a small world requires a framework as a foundation. The character settings are difficult to delete from the root. If it requires a great price, it is not necessary for me." You Mu lowered his eyes, looked at the flickering golden light at his hand, and spoke slowly.

He has cut off the old conventions that bound them, and it is good as it is now.

But this answer was obviously not what Tiandao wanted. It was a little anxious and jumped up to ask: "No matter the cost, just tell me, do you want to?"

"...I want to." Facing Tiandao's urgent gaze, You Mu nodded helplessly.

"That's good..." Tiandao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked Yi Ming, the protagonist, "If, in the future, you are no longer the protagonist and no longer enjoy the privileges brought by the status of the son of destiny, are you willing?"

Compared to You Mu's identity as a villain, Tiandao is actually a little nervous. As the protagonist Yi Ming, who has finally returned to the right track, will he give up the advantages brought by this identity again?

Tiandao floated up from You Mu's side and landed in front of Yi Ming.

He imitated You Mu's movements to comfort Tiandao and pinched Tiandao's furry body.

"In the world of punishment, you and Ammu have witnessed everything about me. I lost my status as the protagonist, but even if I fell into the quagmire, I still survived. The identity of the son of luck is just the icing on the cake for me."

"I once gave up this identity in order to pursue Amu, so how could I be greedy?"

Tiandao was suspended between the two of them, looking around, then landed on Yi Ming's head and stretched out a little chicken claw made of golden light to touch his head lovingly, then pounced on You Mu's forehead and rubbed his face hard.

"You Mu, they said that the official Heavenly Dao needs to return to the void and cannot appear easily again."

"If I don't show up for a long, long time, will you forget me?" There was obvious depression in Tiandao's words.

"will not."

"Then you have to...always, always remember me!"

"it is good."

"You can't lie to me... I will be watching you from heaven."

"it is good."

"Then... I'll go first." The golden light quietly disappeared before their eyes.

"It wants to use the identity of Tiandao to erase our role settings?" Yi Ming looked up. The sky was clear. The arrival of Tiandao just now seemed to be just a fleeting dream that could be ignored.

"It has grown up and has its own considerations. I should respect its choice." You Mu looked at the gaps between his fingers after the golden light disappeared, his eyes heavy.

When Tiandao came back this time, he had too many things on his mind to hide.

The world they live in, the small world of Heaven, should be decided by Heaven. Besides, Heaven is thinking about him. He has no position and no reason to block Heaven's intentions.

although……

"Let's go down the mountain first."

Yi Ming stood up and took You Mu by the hand.

Tiandao has already left, and there is no point for them to stay here and speculate.

"Ah."

The two of them walked along the mountain path again, passed through the secluded path, crossed the stream, walked from the foot of the mountain, and came to a field covered with grass.

"Tick, tick..."

The clear sky suddenly changed, and between the floating wind and clouds, a sudden sun shower fell from the sky.

Yi Ming subconsciously reached out to shield You Mu from the rain. As the raindrops fell on the back of his hand, he noticed something different. Under the golden sun, the raindrops were crystal clear, emitting a faint golden glow.

"This is the energy of the Heavenly Dao."

The water drops fell on the fingertips, and the pearl flowers blossomed. The energy contained in them was separated from the rain and dew, and drifted into the air. You Mu looked up and looked at the sky facing the rain and dew.

That ball of golden light was constantly leaking out its vigorous energy.

"It wants..." Yi Ming looked around, the thin spiritual energy began to revive, and the world began to change in the rain...

"It wants to use its own energy and luck to nourish and upgrade the world."

A world that is too low-level cannot operate independently from the plot and can only rely on the inherent plot, repeating itself over and over again, operating mechanically.

If you want to get rid of the inherent pattern of the small world, the first step is to upgrade.

And the price of upgrading the small world, as they have seen now, is to rely on the energy of the Heavenly Dao itself to continuously charge all things in the small world until this world is upgraded to another level.

"Amu, if it continues to rain and the energy is exhausted, it will... disappear?" Yi Ming also realized the intention of heaven. As he was rained on by the raindrops containing energy, he felt regret in his heart.

They should be persuaded.

Is such a price worth it from the perspective of heaven?

"I don't know..." You Mu was not clear about these. Regarding the Way of Heaven, the laws, and those things in the upper dimensions, even though he had been through many punishment worlds, You Mu only had a vague understanding.

They looked at each other in silence, only the rain was getting heavier and heavier, dripping, constantly hitting the branches, the grass, and the soil...

This sun shower covered every inch of the small world, nourishing every living being in the small world. The limitations that were invisibly imposed on the creatures of the small world, the primary and secondary distinctions of the world's tendencies, were gradually melting away...

Two hours ago, in a realm of nothingness, the laws of heaven and the laws of transformation into human form stood opposite each other.

"At this time, you should return to your world." The law has not yet transformed into a face, and the golden light all over its body is too dazzling.

The Heavenly Dao covered its eyes. Although the golden light of the law was strong before, it was not so dense and it could still be endured. But now, its eyes were about to be blinded!

The Bastard Law is still so bright even after being demoted!

“…Of course I have my reasons for coming here! What is it to you?” Tiandao rubbed his eyes, gathered his confidence, and decided to take the initiative.

"..." The law no longer paid any attention and continued to separate its body from the huge rules behind it.

Although the small creature had broken through the dense network and lost some of the power of rules, allowing it to condense into a complete body, its more massive body could not be stuffed into its previously narrow body.

The law determines to separate the human body from the body of rules.

In this way, it can rely on the human body to travel to different worlds, and experience human perception according to what the creature said. The remaining body can also continue to manage the universe for it.

"Hey, come back, I have something to talk about." Tiandao floated over to cut off the way for the laws to return to the core area.

"What." Law paused and stood still.

"Let's make another bet." Tiandao straightened his tone.

"What are you betting on?" Having suffered a loss once, Fa Zhe did not immediately agree this time.

"I want you to remove the rules and role constraints in my little world, and cancel the plot and story direction."

“…Reasons, prices.” Perhaps because something was cut off, the law did not immediately reject the rude request of Heaven. Instead, it wanted to listen to a different voice.

Tian Dao touched the golden light around him, which was what he cared about most before, and whispered:

"They said that after each Heavenly Dao is born, there will be a period of time when love and hatred are doubled. This is to allow the new Heavenly Dao to feel the emotions of the world to the greatest extent and experience being a human being."

"They said that after becoming the true Heavenly Dao, there will be no need for such rich emotions. The Heavenly Dao will abide by the rules, be affectionate, but also ruthless, and become an overly rational existence like you, for the stability of the small world."

"But I don't want to become like that. I don't want to throw away those feelings."

"We have worked so hard for so long and overcome so many obstacles. I even tried my best to block your palm and protect You Mu and Yi Ming's souls. If I become something without emotions again, following the rules and regulating everything in the small world, then what are all our efforts before? What's the meaning?"

"What they desperately try to break free of is the inherent, unfair fate that the plot has programmed for them. I can't... I can't be the sharp knife that cuts off hope and the future."

"Even if the truth is not as bad as I thought, and the lack of some rules can give them room to exist freely, what about the other people in the small world? Why should they be divided into primary and secondary from birth? Why should the world dictate who is the protagonist, who is the villain, and who is the cannon fodder from the moment they are born?"

"This isn't fair. This isn't fair at all!"

"It shouldn't be like this. At least, in my little world, they shouldn't be like this!"

From those punishment worlds, Heaven became vaguely aware that even the lowest-level operating data had the consciousness to escape the rules.

Fang Mianmian in the world of cultivation, Song Moyang in the urban dimension... even if they are supporting characters, a string of insignificant data in their eyes, there are times when they follow their own wishes and independent thoughts and break away from the original assumptions.

Having witnessed so many examples, Heaven cannot deceive itself. Those are just a series of mechanical data that can be exploited at will.

At least, it wants the creatures living in the small world to be free.

Its decision was for You Mu and Yi Ming, and also for the thousands and millions of unique souls in this small world.

“I’m using my Heavenly Dao rank as collateral to bet with you. Don’t you want to experience feelings? If I lose, everything in the small world will return to the state when we returned from the Punishment World. I’ll provide the backtracking energy as a bet, and it will be yours.” Tian Dao pointed to the golden core hidden deep in his body.

That is the core of consciousness that is wrapped in its multiple emotions, and it is also what will be eliminated after the official return of Heaven's Way.

"I will use everything I have to exchange for and build a free world, and you cannot use your old rules to restrict them."

"I think in my world, there are no more protagonists... everyone is the protagonist."

"Let's see, without the constraints of the plot, without the pressure of rules, without the resource inclination and primary and secondary distinction of the main and supporting characters, can the small world under my control and these low-level creatures that you once despised be able to prosper and flourish..."

After a long time, the voice of the law came from the void.

"…The bet is established."

-----------

When facing the law independently, Xiaotian also has some shadows of You Mu. Now he has truly grown up and has a heart of love. What You Mu cut off before were those old rules that he could touch on the law. Because of the elimination of old rules and rigid dogmas, the law has more room for thinking, which will give Tiandao a second chance to gamble. Their actions and decisions are closely linked.

My dears, Grape wants to say that the main text ends here! (灬°w°灬)

But but... there will be some content, settings that were not used in the previous world, which will be presented in the form of a small theater. Each chapter is not long, which can be regarded as a small follow-up, or a small extra.
