Chapter 778: Protecting the environment
Chapter 778: Protecting the environment
When the sea of trees meets the sea, it means the arrival of the predicted end.
The universe will usher in its true end. There will be no more reincarnation and no next tomorrow.
Even in the infinitely recurring past and future, there are still memories worth cherishing, which repeat over and over again until even the memories themselves can no longer be remembered.
When that day finally came, Fu Li felt unprecedented confusion.
He is the Star God named Memory. He was born to find a second way to save the universe besides remembering. However, in the end, he failed again and again in the same repetition.
Failure, failure, failure, failure... No matter how many backup plans you leave, no matter how many steps you take this time compared to the last time, it is meaningless in the end.
"Look... the countdown to the universe has begun."
Mi Si held the thick history book that recorded the timeline of the universe in his hand, loosened his knuckles slightly, and let it fall into the boundless sea of stars, and was swallowed by the darkness in an instant.
The cocoon was originally invisible, like a transparent yet infinite barrier, but when the sea was about to completely erode the leaves, the dark blue water began to force its way into the universe from the edge of the cocoon.
Like a river bursting its banks, the final tsunami poured down, and the scene of the end of the universe was reflected in the pupils of every creature looking up at the sky.
"This is no longer necessary."
The myth was somewhat relieved. Despite making many arrangements and even controlling the timeline to every minute and every second, it was ultimately unable to achieve real qualitative change.
Only a variable that is powerful enough to change the entire timeline can trigger a true qualitative change...but such an existence seems to have never existed.
The universe has never lacked talented people. No matter they are geniuses shining like stars or envoys who appear for a short time, they will eventually disappear at the end of the timeline.
Perhaps someone can cross the end of time, but no one can escape the end of the timeline.
When the end point of a timeline is determined long before the starting point, no matter how turbulent the process is, it will not affect the smooth ending in the end.
The sky will clear up after the rain, and even the most violent tsunami will eventually turn into calm sea.
"He's still there."
"...You're right, but can he really carry the entire universe on his shoulders?"
The myth is not about being unwilling to believe, but about falling into deeper confusion after countless beliefs. Whether He chooses to believe or not, the ending seems to never change.
"He once carried the memory of the entire universe."
Whether Fu Li chooses to believe it or not, this will be the final outcome of the universe.
So, why not try to believe?
The conversation between the two was soon interrupted by a loud noise that echoed throughout the universe. It was a giant sub-crystal hammer that spanned most of the universe and condensed from the void. It fell on the edge of the cocoon's barrier like a natural moat.
The terrifying collision even caused the galaxy to shake violently. Even the sea water that flowed back into it boiled and evaporated in an instant. Under the extremely high temperature, the giant hammer slowly rose again.
The evaporating boiling breath actually submerged most of the border line, and then the familiar sound of falling hammers resounded throughout the world.
"—!"
In just one system time, the universe has gone through three amber ages in real terms.
This means that the Amber King swung his hammer three times within a normal system time, something that has never happened in the entire universe.
As the echo faded, the sub-space crystal wall stood up boldly, and the protective barrier appeared at the edge of the cocoon without hesitation.
This day will eventually come, and all He has to do is keep swinging the hammer before that day comes.
He is the guardian star god, Clipper.
"The Last King..."
Klipper stood on top of the sub-space crystal wall rising from the void. His majestic figure seemed to be integrated with the barrier, and his sight seemed to see the image of the World Tree across the crack.
That was too far in the past, so far away that it was before the cycle of reincarnation began.
“I want a wall.”
Although the figure's eyes held the despair of seeing the end, they also burned with an unyielding will. "A wall... strong enough to support the universe."
"You will repeat, in countless reincarnations, preparations that may never be used."
“Just waiting for that moment to come.”
The Last King was merely stating a fact: even He could not predict in which reincarnation the final battle would actually begin.
Because the end point is so uncertain, all we can do is stick to the same mission and accomplish the same thing in every timeline and every restart.
Build walls and protect.
It goes round and round, never ending.
Until the stars go out, until the end comes, until reincarnation begins again.
Until now.
A light brighter than a star burned deep in Clipper's pupils. Countless times were attached to his giant hammer, and each hammer represented an entire Amber Age.
This hammer carries the future of too many people, so... He has already made the decision.
Since it is called "Cunhu", we should do the work of conserving and protecting.
On the eve of dawn, everyone saw the high wall at the end of the universe. The sub-space crystal wall stood tall like a brilliant Great Wall spanning years and time and space, completely blocking every crack where the quantum sea invaded this world.
"It seems... it's not time for me to give up yet," Misty smiled self-deprecatingly. Although His layout seemed to have never brought about any substantial changes in this long and almost eternal cycle, perhaps something was indeed quietly changing.
After countless identical endings, this is the only different outcome.
The universe's only "variable" is currently located at the top of the World Tree, and there is only one thing he can do -
That is to believe.
I believe that before the universe is completely swallowed by the sea, An Ming will be able to take back control of the leaves from the sea and become the first true... star god in the universe!
"Why don't I see that guy Ah Ha?"
Fu Li immediately thought of the God of Fun. Logically speaking, it would be normal for Aha to be the first one to arrive in this situation.
"Him?" Mi Si smiled and shook his head. "Maybe He has already gone ahead of us."
No one could fathom Joy's thoughts, not even Aha himself.
The two figures no longer hesitated, and one after the other turned into streams of light and rushed straight to the end of the sub-space crystal wall.
They may not be able to represent the will of all other star gods, but at least they already have the answers in their hearts as to what they should do and where they should stand.
God’s way is not just the way of one person. Since it is revered by everyone, we should do what we should do and keep what we should keep.

My fever is much better now, but I still have a sore throat and cough. I think I'll finish the slacking off this month.
