Awakening the True World Will (Four Thousand Words)

Those valued by high-level forces such as the Lost Island, Hell Organization, and Dante Organization are actually the twelve Mysterious Guidepost with more obvious power and characteristics, capable of exerting a terrifying influence.

But now, Xiao Xiao's attention was focused on those few seemingly useless items.

The Cradle of Birth forever imprisoned them, the useless Blade-less Sword, the Blue Dress that could heal everything, the Covetous Box they dared not open, and the Singing Key could never touch—these were high-level special items that bore the names of the Twelve Mysterious Guidepost and were superior to all special items and Enhancement Element, yet were utterly useless. They had been collected by the three parties for forty years, but to no avail, and could only remain there until now when Xiao Xiao forcibly activated them and revealed them to the world.

But is it really completely useless?

At least for Patient Zero, these things were just as important as other things, or even more important.

It was the existence of these things that made Xiao Xiao realize that some problems existed.

The Cradle of Birth almost determines everything about a person, including their thoughts, circumstances, life, courage to overcome setbacks, and attitude towards failure.

But it shouldn't be this powerful.

Mingming Lady Fate is ranked first in the sequence, the Cradle of Birth, a sequence 2 entity, has demonstrated a far stronger control and influence than Fate.

For example, Blue Dress that can heal everything shouldn't be so fragile, disappearing almost unnoticed.

The black box representing one's own greed should not have never been opened.

We are all human beings, and we all have our own desires. So why can't greed occur even once in our lives?

For example, that Singing Key will never exist in reality...

... But at least, you shouldn't have never tried to touch it!

If the terrifying pressure from the Lost Island meant that Black Gate City's fate was already irrevocably leaning towards destruction.

So Xiao Xiao's unexpected use of the mental imprint to activate all the Mysterious Guidepost was tantamount to forcibly seizing another opportunity.

However, Xiao Xiao did not take advantage of this opportunity to turn the tide.

He didn't even use this opportunity to try to fight anything; he simply used this one and last chance to take a good look at the Mysterious Guidepost and learn more about Patient Zero.

Opportunities are fleeting.

Beyond its Mind Burst abilities, Lost Island, having confirmed that the forcibly activated Mysterious Guidepost had not caused any adverse consequences, continued to exert pressure on Black Gate City. Whether it was the Mysterious Source that was still surging towards Black Gate City from all directions of the Mist Sea, or the Whispering Serpent that pushed the distortion to its extreme, or the teardrop-shaped necklace that made everything in Black Gate City extremely fragile, their power deeply affected Black Gate City, making the city crumble at the slightest touch and utterly powerless to resist.

It's almost the end.

Countless people who had been looking toward Black Gate City were now holding their breath.

They were just waiting to see that behemoth, along with the crazed Chairman Xiao, crumble before their very eyes.

But in this final moment, when destruction seemed imminent, they saw Xiao Xiao, who had been standing silently in place, suddenly raise his head and whisper:

"The road sign points to the source."

"..."

"What?"

Many people heard his words but couldn't understand them, let alone why he said them at this moment.

"She is not the source."

Xiao Xiao continued speaking, his voice low and weary. "The source is that something is wrong with this world."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

While others harbored inexplicable doubts, only those on Lost Island felt impatient. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they knew that after destroying Black Gate City and this experimental subject, much more awaited them. They would have to reset their plans and revive the Noah Project. All of this was caused by that madman, and now their hatred for him was no less than his hatred for them. They just wanted to end it all as soon as possible, to bring it to a complete end.

"The biggest problem in this world is that the will of the entire world has been playing along with you for so long!"

"..."

"Yes..."

But sensing their dissatisfaction, Xiao Xiao suddenly laughed, looked up at them, and said, "But as I just said, you are not qualified to represent this world."

Everything was carried out in a massive and imposing manner, leaving little time for communication.

Even these few words were possible because the two were already in a spiritual ocean, allowing them to engage in some surreal communication.

In reality, however, it is like lightning flashing across the sky, arriving in an instant.

But at that very moment, the leader of the Hell Organization, who had long sensed something was amiss, finally saw a dangerous aura on Xiao Xiao's face and his mind raced:

"Oh no, stop!"

"..."

"Broken!"

The leader of the Dante Organization also noticed the problem and immediately tried to activate the Mysterious Guidepost that was originally intended to be retrieved to stop the Lost Island's attack on Black Gate City.

But it was too late.

A tremendous and surging force pressed down on the sky above Black Gate City.

This power was almost enough to cause Black Gate City to collapse instantly, but at this moment, Xiao Xiao actually activated the mental imprint again, attracting several other Mysterious Guidepost that were originally useless. The influence of a total of ten Mysterious Guidepost erupted simultaneously in the sky above the Xiao Xiao Black Gate City. The enormous power formed a strange gravitational force, and Dante Organization's Slumber Pillow and Hell Organization's Midnight Veil also went out of control in a short time, being swept up and intertwined together in the sky above Black Gate City!

This is the first time in history that twelve Mysterious Guidepost have been activated in the same area.

The Twelve Mysterious Guidepost the highest level of power in the world, possessing the ability to control the entire spiritual ocean and representing the World Will.

The mental pressure I felt at that moment was indescribable; it was a force capable of crushing everything.

At the same moment, Xiao Xiao, who was standing on the flesh-and-blood Black Gate City, let out a low breath, slowly withdrew his hand, and placed it on his chest.

This gesture seems to be a tribute to something, or perhaps an apology!

But this tiny movement caused his heart to suddenly contract violently, and then abruptly pound.

"Buzz..."

The power of the twelve Mysterious Guidepost compressed Black Gate City into an infinitely small mass, yet it suddenly bounced with the beating of Xiao Xiao's heart.

The area around Black Gate City was already filled with boundless spiritual power, which was expanding and raging. Now, all of this power was suddenly impacted and instantly expanded outward along Xiao Xiao's spiritual threads.

Spiritual resonance!

Xiao Xiao is currently in a state of spiritual resonance.

Everyone wanted to stop him because his actions were dangerous and would drag the whole world into a nightmare.

However, it was obvious that they hadn't expected this to be just an appetizer.

Xiao Xiao had been waiting for this moment.

His spiritual power, aided by the Mysterious Source corpses piled up around Black Gate City and the pressure from the entire spiritual ocean, suddenly formed an impact under spiritual resonance that far exceeded everyone's imagination.

It was as if God had opened the Paradise, and a terrifying flood descended upon the earth in an instant.

A real flood occurred.

Along with this flood, some strange things entered the whole world and into the minds of everyone.

Those were the qualities of the twelve Mysterious Guidepost, the tragic life of Patient Zero, and the emotions within her heart that no one had heard for forty years—all of which, at this moment, flowed with the flood to the entire world.

In the real world...

No matter how chaotic things were in Black Gate City, ordinary people couldn't perceive it. They had only felt oppressed and panicked ever since the mental resonance began. Sometimes they could feel obvious malice from others, feeling that tangible malice being pulled out like the tentacles of a monster, licking their faces like a sticky snake. They were terrified, some even went mad. But in any case, under these special circumstances, they saw what the world was really like.

Xiao Xiao was right before; he at least allowed people in this world to briefly be themselves again.

Many people are also panicking, thinking the world is ending, not knowing what has happened, and even less knowing when it will all end.

But it was in this state that the mental shock came.

This spiritual impact, imbued with the qualities of the twelve Mysterious Guidepost, instantly entered everyone's minds the moment they finally came to understand themselves.

Then they understood why all of this had happened.

And so they learned that there had once been such a pitiful woman in this world.

The most prominent characteristic of the World Will is forgetting.

This world can always forget many things, making them seem as if they never happened.

But now, with the emergence of this spiritual shock, this matter has become a rift in the world, one that can never be forgotten.

What exactly did he do?

The people on the Lost Island were unaware of Xiao Xiao's plans.

Many staff members on Lost Island were unaware of what had happened before; they were simply carrying out their duties.

But now, they have all accepted this shock, because they also belong to this world.

They felt that clear, profound, and intense quality suddenly appear in their minds, instantly generating an indescribable and complex emotion. This emotion was beyond their control and simply became uncontrollable.

At this moment, even they themselves seemed to have lost control.

Most importantly, when they looked up at Black Gate City, they saw Xiao Xiao still standing there quietly atop Black Gate City.

The twelve Mysterious Guidepost now floated quietly in front of him. These things, which should have crushed, destroyed, or even forgotten him, were now so docile.

They are even disappearing little by little.

"Quickly take it back..."

The higher-ups on Lost Island realized the problem and shouted desperately, but to no avail.

They had checked countless times and were certain that they had sufficient control over the twelve Mysterious Guidepost and that they would not lose control.

But now, he could only watch helplessly as these things remained quietly suspended in the sky above Black Gate City, unresponsive no matter how he tried to recall them.

Not only them, but also the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization are the same.

However, the leaders of those two factions were perhaps closer to madness, so they reacted faster than those on Lost Island. Now, they had almost lost the power of anger, and were left only with bitter smiles and despair.

"Don't you understand?"

The leader of the Hell Organization turned to look at the Lost Island, his voice filled with helplessness. "He has awakened the true will of this world."

"This..."

Among the personnel responsible for the Lost Island operation, one was a bit slow to react and blurted out, "What does this mean?"

"It represents..."

The leader of the Dante Organization looked at them and whispered, "This means that from this moment on, your Lost Island will be nothing."

"From the moment the true World Will is born, the Mysterious Guidepost in your hands will become completely useless, and you will no longer be able to use it to control the entire ocean of spirit..."

"No wonder..."

"..."

As he said this, he looked at the leader of the Hell Organization, his eyes filled with disappointment and a sense of frustration at why we hadn't thought of it before and failed to stop him.

"No wonder he said before that only the world itself can represent this world!"

"..."

When everyone in the world begins to see that woman, and even begins to personally experience everything that she went through, then the spiritual power of everyone in the world will be concentrated on one point.

Every single person is insignificant.

Unlike the Strangers who can enter the ocean of the mind and control the power of suffering, or the Lost Island who holds the greatest power in the world.

Therefore, they have always been a group of people who are overlooked.

However, when all of them are added together, they are the ocean of spirit itself.

The spiritual ocean itself possesses the most powerful force in the world, surpassing all creatures within it and every individual who seeks to control it.

"Splash..."

It was also in this area that the whole world fell silent as it came to understand the life of that woman.

From the direction of Black Gate City, endless flesh and blood suddenly shattered, and the entire Black Gate City transformed from a shape of flesh and blood back to its original form. Within this enormous city, a tall, exquisitely designed ship, seemingly possessing all the beautiful things in the world, slowly emerged from the city's base. The mist in the Mist Sea gradually dissipated upon its appearance. On board, Ruan Ruan, Little Four, Ling Ping, Old Zhou, the Serpent Sisters, and others excitedly waved to Xiao Xiao.

"It's over, President!"

"Our Noah is finally finished..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao smiled at them and said, "Yes, the timing is just right, it's time for us to set sail."

P. S. I'd like to recommend a friend's book (it's not finished yet; people might think it's complete after reading it, but there's still more to come):

[The other shore is far away, but humanity will eventually reach it] — I'd like to recommend the new sci-fi work "Dreaming of Space" which is currently airing in Melbourne:

sol——sol-la-re——, do——do-la-re——

A slightly noisy electronic melody played from the old-fashioned radio.

The time is frozen at 21:35 on April 24, 1970.

This is one of the most beautiful melodies in the history of Chinese spaceflight.

It was remembered even a hundred years later.
