Inheritance

Thump!

Qin Yiguan's body collapsed onto the ice.

The bodies of Jiu Zhengxuan and Zhao Huolong rolled to the side.

Qin Yiguan also spat out a mouthful of blood, which spread onto the ice surface. The bottom of the ice slowly froze, while the surface that had not yet solidified trembled slightly with the footsteps of the orangutan in the distance.

It was at this time.

Qin Yiguan discovered that beneath the transparent ice layer, there were some ancient buildings and various strangely shaped machines frozen in place.

Is this the home the man in the trench coat was talking about?

The father's belongings mentioned by the Xiao Lu?

They have clearly been destroyed.

Boom!

Heavy footsteps echoed.

The Sun and Moon and moon, along with the giant red-haired ape, had already arrived behind Qin Yiguan.

Sun and Moon glanced at what lay beneath the ice and said teasingly, "Do you know what that is?"

"Ever since humans invented computers, they have been trying to simulate them."

"In just 80 years, the technology of computer simulation of reality has made rapid progress."

"Thus, humanity created its first world simulator."

"The world in this simulator is exactly the same as the real world."

"It is the Gemini Metaverse beneath our feet."

"So."

"The 'humans' in this simulator."

"It will also have its own technology tree."

"Then."

As Sun and Moon spoke, he chuckled foolishly, "There will be such a day."

"They also developed their own version."

"World Simulator..."

"Then..."

"Humans soon had a whole bunch."

"Emulator within an emulator, an emulator within an emulator..."

"A false world, followed by another false world, followed by yet another false world..."

"It's ridiculous."

The laughter of the Sun and Moon grew louder and louder, "These 'people' have always believed... that the world they live in is real."

Qin Yiguan's body was trembling slightly; the intense pain prevented him from thinking clearly.

Sun and Moon pointed to the ice surface, "Sealed beneath this is Metaverse designed by a scientist named Wen Hua —many Metaverse, a laughable Metaverse."

"This world is already so fake, it has to become even more fake!"

"Therefore, my hatred for him is stronger than for anyone else."

"Of course I killed him, and then froze all those machines."

Suddenly, Sun and Moon looked around, surveying the vast, icy world. "Wen Hua has a surviving daughter who, along with a man in a trench coat who appeared out of nowhere, said they would protect this place."

"Hahaha!"

Sun and Moon laughed wildly, "What's there to protect about these things? The things inside, the people inside, aren't even Digital Human; they're digital Digital Human below Digital Human! They're just programs, some code, some empty bytes! And they're even more inferior! Delete them at will, close them at will; they're not even ants!"

"The entire Metaverse, and any single Metaverse, is an illusion!"

The orangutan stomped its foot, causing the ground to tremble, and the Sun and Moon roared, "This illusion has stolen everything from me!"

"I am indeed the first being to enter the Metaverse, and I have a very long lifespan."

Sun and Moon growled, "My lifespan is long enough to... know every core member of the Gemini Metaverse, and the founder of Gemini Technology, named Liu Yuan. People call him ' Clear as the Abyss, Pure as Jade,' a metaphor for being as clear as a deep pool and as pure as jade, a person of noble character."

"But it was he who crippled my body, made me lose myself forever, and robbed me of my freedom forever!"

"And now, he's just dusted himself off, leaving this Hell on earth behind, and disappeared!"

Sun and Moon roared hysterically, "Liu Yuan is a demon!"

And at this time, Qin Yiguan...

Silently staring beneath the ice.

The ice layer is tens of meters thick, and it may have been frozen for 5, 8, or even 10 years.

But one of the machines was emitting a faint blue light.

Is it undamaged?

Is it still running?

For some reason, Qin Yiguan was inexplicably drawn to this magical phenomenon and slowly narrowed his eyes.

He finally saw that there was a metal nameplate embedded on those machines.

---- HD69830 Origin Laboratory.

The chilling voice of Sun and Moon rang out from behind, "Are you curious about those things? Is this your lifeline? Do you think life will jump out from there to help you? How ridiculous!"

And in that very moment...

The machine, which was frozen in ice, suddenly flashed a dazzling purple light.

The light shone out, penetrating tens of meters of ice.

Then, the dazzling purple light slowly condensed on the ice surface, transforming into a human shape as if through some kind of reorganization.

He was a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six, with an exceptionally handsome face, wearing a white shirt, with slightly long hair, and a shimmering purple eye in his right eye!

For some reason, he exuded an aura of royalty!

The young man surveyed the surrounding snowy world with a sense of wonder.

But his gaze finally settled on Qin Yiguan, and he smiled, "Hello, my Liu Di, the 'Di' in 'younger brother'."

At this moment, Qin Yiguan, lying on the ground with blood still on the corner of his mouth, said in a daze, somewhat taken aback, "Hello, my Qin Yiguan, the ' Yiguan' of 'Yiguan '."

For some reason, Qin Yiguan suddenly felt that this man's words and actions were like a warm spring breeze, yet he also possessed an air of dominance over the world. He seemed to be able to influence everything and bring peace to people's hearts.

The man in the white shirt smiled, glanced around, and sighed, "So, this is the outside world."

At this moment, Sun and Moon slightly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, and said, "Those simulators can actually produce living beings? They're just low-level Digital Human!"

But then the giant orangutan swung its fist and smashed it towards the man in the white shirt!

The man who called himself Liu Di slowly turned around, and a purple light instantly burst forth from his right eye, with countless blue codes sweeping across the heavens and earth!

then.

The whole world fell silent.

The Sun and Moon's expressions froze in a ferocious state, and the orangutan's arm also stiffened in mid-air; the world seemed to have fallen into a frozen state.

Qin Yiguan was also taken aback, but at the same time, he discovered that his body could move freely again.

"I never imagined that this world is also made up of code."

The man in the white shirt chuckled and pointed to his right eye, which was flashing with purple light. "It's called Demon Child, and it just so happens to be able to control all code."

Control all code...

Qin Yiguan was shocked. In this Metaverse universe, wouldn't he be a god?!

It was at this time.

The other two figures remained unaffected and slowly walked in.

It was the man in the trench coat and the adorable girl named Xiao Lu.

The little girl looked at the man in the white shirt with a hint of fear. "Uncle Zheng... who is that?"

The man in the trench coat chuckled. "Don't worry, that's my son."

In that instant.

The man named Uncle Zheng looked at Qin Yiguan and said, "I've introduced you to him before. I have a family member who is also skilled in Metaverse technology."

Qin Yiguan's body suddenly stiffened.

The man in the white shirt looked at the ' HD69830 Origin Laboratory ' beneath the ice, then chuckled at the man in the trench coat, "Father, you came to this outside world and never went back. It turns out you were protecting our home."

The man in the trench coat chuckled, "Isn't it all to be your strong support?"

"Speaking of which..."

The man in the trench coat suddenly conjured an old diary out of thin air. "In this world, mental power is equally effective."

Qin Yiguan listened quietly to everything.

So the trench coat man's ability to create things out of thin air was called mental power?

at this time.

The man in the white shirt looked at Qin Yiguan and said, "I just heard that woman say that there's also a Gemini Company in this world, and that it created a Metaverse?"

Qin Yiguan nodded slowly.

The man in the white shirt chuckled, "Although the Metaverse are nested in layers, from a certain perspective, they are also ' Metaverse ' among themselves. And the universe is vast and boundless, enough to accommodate all sorts of coincidences."

"That person named Liu Yuan just now might be another version of myself in this universe."

"Due to various butterfly effects leading to changes in trajectory, he has a different name than me, and the Metaverse he created also has different content and themes."

Similarly, in any world, there are both good and evil.

"I've just looked into the past, and you seem to represent justice."

"From the perspective of the Metaverse, you and I are the same kind of people, carrying the same mission."

As he spoke, the man in the white shirt slowly extended his palm and grasped Qin Yiguan's hand. Under a gentle yet firm force, Qin Yiguan slowly stood up.

The man in the white shirt smiled and said, "Isn't this like a kind of inheritance?"

At this moment, Qin Yiguan felt a strange sense of bewilderment.

The opponent was clearly an absolute powerhouse, obviously the strongest being in the HD69830 Origin Laboratory.

No one is born strong; everyone must go through trials and tribulations to rise from the ashes and mud!

Qin Yiguan didn't know if he would become like him in the future, becoming the strongest being in this universe beneath his feet.

But I don't know why.

During the handshake, a warm and powerful force flowed into my heart.

Just as the man in the white shirt said.

--This seems to be a kind of inheritance.

It's that indescribable feeling.

Qin Yiguan was deeply moved for a long time.

The man in the white shirt looked Qin Yiguan up and down. Qin Yiguan's bones were shattered and he was covered in blood. The man laughed and said, "Looks like you're not doing so well."

"Forehead..."

For some reason, Qin Yiguan felt a pang of guilt, as if he had brought shame upon someone. He slowly scratched his head.

"And."

The man in the white shirt still wore a faint smile. "From the past of this universe, I've always seen you with a gloomy expression, ruthless and bloodthirsty. You never flaunt your strength in front of others, nor do you swagger before the world. Even though you possess immense power, you remain low-key and discreet... The world doesn't like your kind of personality."

Qin Yiguan lowered his head slightly, "My story may not be as exciting as yours."

"But."

But the man in the white shirt smiled again, "Just be yourself. Do what you want to do, say what you want to say, and change what you want to change, and take action accordingly."

The words of the man in the white shirt always carried an invisible power.

Qin Yiguan slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing, and said, "I will."

The man in the white shirt, with a smile, gazed at Qin Yiguan for a long, long time.

at last.

He laughed heartily, looking at the two figures in the distance. "Father, after wandering for so long, shouldn't you go home? And this adorable Xiao Lu, your father created my Minecraft. Now, why don't you come back with me and start a new life there?"

The little girl's eyes flickered, and she slowly nodded.

"Your story is still yours to write."

The man in the white shirt looked at Qin Yiguan with that same powerful smile. At the same time, purple light emanated from his body, as did the man in the trench coat and Xiao Lu.

"I've restored the code that woman just deleted from you."

"And I've also added some encryption for you, so from now on, no one can break it."

"Keep it up!"

The man in the white shirt spoke slowly.

The three figures also transformed into purple code and vanished in that instant.

Qin Yiguan stood there stunned, muttering, "Thank you for your gift, senior."

But the next moment...

The figure of the man in the white shirt reappeared, and he smiled, "There's one more thing I need to ask of you. From now on, could you help me protect my home?"

Qin Yiguan slowly lowered his head, looking at the HD69830 Origin Laboratory beneath the ice, then nodded emphatically, "I will definitely do it."
