Throne of Radiance

The Golden Crow gradually spread its wings in the sky, spreading its golden brilliance to the world, and the clouds seemed to be covered with a crown.

Bai Yi and Xia Jiajia spent a pleasant time eating melons.After all, melons are only sweet if they are shared with others. If you can’t find someone to talk about gossip, it’s too unfriendly to people who eat melons.

Xia Jiajia satisfied her desire to eat melons with others, and then remembered to ask: "By the way, today is not a school day, why did you go out so early? Is there something urgent? I shouldn't delay Are you on time?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I made an appointment to meet an elder. Is it the grandma who watched me grow up?" Bai Yi stroked Bai Xiaoxi in her arms, and replied with a light smile, "...but now I'm leaving It's still early for the appointed time, don't worry."

"Also, today's date is quite special."

"A special date? Is it a holiday that I don't know?" Xia Jiajia opened the calendar curiously and glanced, "June 6th... I didn't find anything special..." She was talking to herself, and suddenly thought of What, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that the day of the death of that teacher Gu is tomorrow."

Hearing her mention "Teacher Gu", Bai Yi was slightly taken aback.

Xia Jiajia thought he hadn't remembered it, so she explained, "It was Mr. Gu who died in a car accident last year. I also met his parents at a nearby flower shop yesterday evening. I saw those two old people buying flowers for the funeral. Only then did I realize that it was the anniversary of the death of Teacher Gu..."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Bai Yi answered smoothly.

"I also think it's a coincidence." Xia Jiajia sighed, with a sad tone, "Mr. Gu and the old lady have changed a lot. They lost their only son, and I don't know why they broke up with Tian Yin. I just watched They all look very sad..."

Rao is as careless as she is, and also has a bit of emotion about the impermanence of the world.

"I almost forgot about that, has it actually been a year..." Bai Yi answered without any fluctuation in his heart.

He doesn't feel guilty about the aftermath of the trash removal.It seems that he has always been very clear that since he single-handedly revived the spiritual energy, the fate of many people has definitely been changed because of him. Of course, it is impossible for all of them to develop in a good direction, but he is quite self-sufficient in a certain sense. any moral distress arising from this.

The first person to discover fire and spread the fire to others, should he care whether other people use fire to roast meat or set fire to mountains?

"Yeah, a year has passed without knowing it." Xia Jiajia couldn't help but sigh without knowing what was going on.

"A year ago, everyone would never have imagined that in just one year, the whole world would have such a big change. Resurrection of spiritual energy, spread of martial arts, supernatural haunts, strange things appearing in the world, I feel that this short year is 21 years older than I have been in the past. Life in the past year has been wonderful! I really don’t know what changes will happen next, will the mysterious superman Joey who only appeared a few days ago make another big move, and the flower whisperer who only exists in legends And that generous sword master..."

She couldn't help raising her hands behind her head, raised her head slightly to look at the sky dyed by the brilliance of the golden crow, and thought leisurely: "...Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that the future is full of unknowns."

"That's right." The boy next to him suddenly stood up from the steps where he was squatting, showing a grave face cooperatively.

He faced Xia Jiajia and began to perform. What he spoke was not Yao Guoyu, but the Morning Star Imperial language, which is especially suitable for singing operas and reciting dialogues.

"This is the most chaotic era. The order of the old era has not yet collapsed, and the path of the new era has not yet taken shape. Those who are about to stand out, the dice of fate have been cast, and the fate of the future is in your hands..."

The wind blows, lifts the hem of his coat, lifts the young man's fluffy and slightly curly black hair, brushes over his pale eyes with a deep smile, the young man seems to be on the stage, giving people an inexplicable feeling Infectious, it doesn't seem embarrassing at all.

He recited in a low tone like a narration in a script:

"As for the mediocre who follow the tide of the times..."

Bai Yi suddenly raised the cat in his arms high, like a scepter of victory, or a young king, and he shouted: "Crown the king of the new era!"

"--Meow!"

Instead of being frightened and frightened, the cat that was held up high raised its head and meowed in cooperation, and the timing was just right.Xia Jiajia could even feel the same arrogance from the boy's face from the cat's face, and the feeling that the two cats were in tune became even more obvious.

Xia Jiajia: "..." Okay, that's amazing!

...Whether it's Bai Yi who can suddenly come up with such an impromptu line without any embarrassment, or Bai Xiaoxi who cooperates with the master's heart and soul, they are all amazing.

Xia Jiajia's expression gradually changed from bewildered to stunned to shocked. She had nothing to say and after a few seconds of stunned, she realized that she could only express her emotions with clapping applause.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

After such an interruption, she really forgot to ask why today's date is special. In fact, the reason is very simple.

——June 6 is Bai Yi's birthday.

A year ago, the nightmare game system fell on the second day of his 17th birthday. On that day, a person died in a car accident not far from his home, which was also related to him.

When that person's parents and relatives fell into great grief and despair because of his death, Bai Yi's life, which has been haunted by nightmares for many years, has just ushered in a turning point and hope.

Hope and despair come together so precisely.

Behind all of this, it happened to be the same person.

When looking back, Bai Yi still has an indescribable feeling, as if his fate was doomed as early as the moment he was born, and "that person" who launched the system seems to have chosen this day deliberately.So everything that happened to me was no coincidence.

After seeing the old dean, that feeling became more obvious.

Because he got something from the old dean.

"This is?" Bai Yi took the gift from the old dean, and at the same time took another thing, which seemed to be a dilapidated notebook with a lock, and he suddenly guessed.

"This is something your mother left you. It is a diary written by her during her pregnancy before you were born. She always wanted to show it to you when you grow up." The words of the old dean confirmed his guess, " Because of her mental condition, I'm not sure what she wrote, and I was worried that reading the diary might be affected when you were too young, so I kept it until now and gave it to you."

The old dean looked at the boy in front of him tenderly.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoyi!"

"—From today onwards you are an adult!"

The old dean was still talking, but Bai Yi didn't listen much.

He stared blankly at the mid-air, his eyes seemed to be focused on one point, and there appeared distorted words invisible to ordinary people.

He didn't have a chance to take a closer look until he bid farewell to the old dean.

[A special front prop has been obtained. 】

[Nightmare game version update countdown: 60 days. 】

[After the version is updated, the system will also be fully upgraded, and the host will have the opportunity to enable creator permissions. 】

"what the hell……"

After the silence, the boy suddenly let out a laugh.

"That's why I said before that only by completing special reality missions can I have the opportunity to obtain special pre-props, and that I have to obtain special pre-props and how many points to have the opportunity to update the version... In fact, they are all lies!"

The smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger, as if he had realized an amazing truth: "No matter how many times the time goes back, as long as I wait until this day, I will get the diary from the dean."

"Before that, no matter how many tasks I did and how many points I accumulated, it was impossible for me to get the special front-end props... So, the time for the version update has been fixed from the beginning, and it is not affected by me at all. any effect!"

He fell into thinking: "...Then what's the point of the system you kept mentioning the conditions for version updates before? It can't be deliberately tricking me. Instead, it feels more like, through constant emphasis, implying that version updates are very, very important, So that I won't be caught off guard in the future?"

Although he didn't get any answer, Bai Yi seemed to know the answer. He stared straight ahead with a firm tone:

"—Because the version update is not under the control of the system at all, it is the fate that must come at this time node."

"...It seems that the arrival of Guixu is not under your control, it is the inevitable end of this universe."

—So, what is the connection between the two?

The answer is actually already obvious.

"Hahahahaha!" Bai Yi burst out laughing.

Countless people on the street looked at him with inexplicable eyes.

But this didn't affect the boy's nervous laughter at all.

Sometimes he seems to be very concerned about maintaining the persona of an ordinary high school student, but sometimes he will suddenly act in a way that is completely inconsistent with an ordinary high school student, just like the sudden impromptu performance in front of Xia Jiajia before.

It seems that maintaining the character design is just a small game for him to have fun in the boring life of listening to the rhythm of everything all the time for so many years, and he can stop it at any time.

"...Really, very interesting, the creator of the system!"

He no longer refers to the creator of the system as his future self.

"If you don't tell the truth in advance, are you worried that my heart will be traumatized and unable to recover? Could it be that the other Bai Yi fell down because he couldn't adapt to the new version of the nightmare game that suddenly came? If this is the case, I think he should be expelled from Bai Yi first. Yiji, um, already feels ashamed for him."

The laughter subsided, and he began to talk to himself, forgetting himself.

"...Anyway, that's definitely not my future self!"

[Your existence itself has countless possibilities. 】

Probably Bai Yi's words touched on the key words, and the system that had been playing dead without making a sound, finally reappeared.

"...So that's how it is!" Bai Yi completely understood.

Returning to the ruins, since it is the inevitable end of all things, even if there is a ray of life in the balance of heaven, this ray of life must be infinitely close to zero, even if Bai Yi is born as the root and hope of countless worlds, it does not mean that he will succeed .

——The glimmer of hope in him is still very, very weak, but the possibility of stepping into destruction is infinitely high.

Regardless, the glimmer of hope is real.

If the fate of this world is deduced to an infinite timeline, then in the countless timelines, the result must be destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction... But no matter what, there must be a timeline leading to new life .

——And this completely unreasonable system may come from the infinite timeline, the root power left by countless failed white intentions, and finally merged into this system.

"System, your essence is actually a special principle of all things, right? You can cross the timeline, and you can manifest special real power from the dead nightmare world... You are the one of all things that Bai Yi has mastered. Is it the truth? Or someday in the future, the truth of all things that I comprehend myself?"

...However, if I can reach that level and grasp the principles of all things, I'm afraid I can be called a god.

[The essence of the system is the principle of all things. 】

[The core of the rules is to make fakes come true. 】

[Even if the host fails in the future and fails to prevent the coming of the ruins, the system will be further strengthened in this timeline, and after incorporating the principles of all things that the host has comprehended in the future, the brand new system will be brought to the next timeline The host will help even more until the ultimate success is achieved. 】

"That is to say, how can I be so psychologically fragile, even if it is the other me. I have been using game terms to cover up my purpose, and I have described the arrival of Guixu as a version update. Covering up #我也是只是一个无限实验# is not so much the incarnation of hope to save everything, but more likely a stepping stone for the birth of real hope?"

"...It's not right to say that it's a cover-up. It should be that I want to find out the truth by myself. It's really a bad taste."

Bai Yi mercilessly complained about other Bai Yi.

But there was no frustration on his face when he recognized the truth. Instead, he showed a super-anticipated and super-motivated smile.

"Ha, I'm completely excited! Sure enough, I only know myself. Simply saving the world is really boring!"

"Instead, now..."

"I'm not interested in giving the other Bai Yi a golden finger." Bai Yi suddenly laughed, "You don't even know how many timeline possibilities you have integrated with the system at your current level, do you?"

"Being the most special one among so many Bai Yi, just thinking about it, I find it super interesting!"
