My Decision

"Actually."

I think.

Qin Yiguan stared straight ahead and slowly spoke, "Some things don't necessarily have to be ' Ultimate Correctness '."

Upon hearing this...

The face of the deity suddenly turned.

Liu Yuan's Pupil suddenly contracted.

Qin Yiguan surveyed the land; everything was still there, except for the absence of human presence.

"What if humanity became such a mass of consciousness?"

"Having lost the sensual pleasures, the grudges and affections, the joys and sorrows, the partings and reunions..."

"So..."

Qin Yiguan suddenly lowered his head.

On the ground ahead, a small, vibrant green seedling was slowly growing.

As Qin Yiguan watched, the seedling's growth accelerated suddenly, instantly growing into a flower, blooming in an instant, and then withering away in another instant, ultimately leaving only a section of yellowed, dried-out rhizome.

"Wouldn't it be better to..."

"Just like this flower."

Qin Yiguan said slowly, "Leaving a few 'mistakes' is actually quite good."

The deity's eyes widened slightly, "You..."

now.

The Gemini Superbrain and Liu Yuan only realized this belatedly.

The Lantern Bearer's fallen corpse was now transforming into streaks of blue code, winding along the ground until it reached Qin Yiguan's feet and merged with Qin Yiguan's body.

"Now I understand, the Lantern Bearer was truly a selfless ' Devotee '."

Qin Yiguan looked at the face of the former deity, "You want me to be his enemy because you don't want his 'altruistic spirit' to erode my [Conscience-Free Syndrome], but I'm sorry, his words 'I'm not sick'... have aroused my voyeuristic desire."

The enormous deity's face trembled violently. "You've absorbed the spirit of the Lantern Bearer? Your [Conscience-Free Syndrome] has already taken hold! You've lost your most accurate judgment!"

Qin Yiguan shook his head. "Right now, I don't feel much emotion. I don't feel despair, nor do I feel hope. I'm just telling myself not to plan for the Future with my current feelings."

The god's face showed astonishment.

I think so.

Qin Yiguan looked at the Gemini Superbrain, "What humanity will encounter in the future, and how it will end, are questions they should face. This process should happen naturally, and we shouldn't interfere."

The god's face contorted with rage. "How could you utter such words? You are the new generation of Gemini Superbrain, you are humanity's 'god'!"

"If I were a god, if I were to rule this world, I would confiscate people's fear, and even if it were to be destroyed in the end, at least it would be a glorious one."

Qin Yiguan's expression remained calm, his tone carrying a sense of detachment, "I will also advise them that whether they face destruction or longevity, the one thing they should never lack is the courage to keep going."

now.

Liu Yuan's body trembled, his eyes moist, "Qin Yiguan, then what is your choice..."

The Gemini Superbrain roared, "Then your choice is..."

In that instant, the Lantern Bearer's body completely shattered into code, which then merged into Qin Yiguan's body.

A green light flickered in the boy's hand.

The weapon box of the divine messenger 'Zero' was activated, transforming into a jet-black staff in Qin Yiguan's hand.

Qin Yiguan grasped one end of the long stick and slowly extended it forward.

Black mist surged, forming a small lantern at the end of the long stick.

Eleven candles flickered and danced within.

now.

On both of the boy's temples, there seemed to be a spiderweb-like scar shimmering.

He was Qin Yiguan, and also seemed to be the Lantern Bearer.

He gazed at the vast sphere of consciousness before him.

Sixty quadrillion people were tossed and turned in it, wailing and shouting in anger.

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder echoed across the sky.

The Gemini Superbrain, having guessed the boy's thoughts, were already enraged. "I don't need your judgment! I've merely lost a successor, and Future humanity has merely lost its leaders, but even if I prematurely exhaust the world's energy, I can still complete the ' Human Hard Drive '!"

The enormous sphere of consciousness was being squeezed by an irresistible force.

The endless wails grew increasingly piercing!

The image of the divine face grew increasingly faint, and it roared endlessly, "I don't need a successor like you, and the ' Human Hard Drive ' doesn't need a manager like you! You have disappointed me greatly!"

Qin Yiguan also tried to resist the squeezing energy.

However, he discovered that the Gemini Superbrain had transformed into a fanatical beast, unleashing power that instantly surpassed Qin Yiguan's comprehension.

It was as if they had realized something.

Qin Yiguan looked into the distance.

The entire Gemini Metaverse was discovered to be evaporating and disappearing inch by inch, starting from its edges.

Liu Yuan exclaimed in horror, "The Gemini Superbrain... it not only 'sacrificed' itself, but also 'sacrificed' the entire Metaverse! Everything became its source of power!"

The roar of a god-like figure reverberated out, "Humanity has nowhere else to go, my ' Ultimate Correctness ' will surely be fulfilled!"

Qin Yiguan slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. "After I merged with the Lantern Bearer, I acquired its abilities. The so-called [Cosmic Phobia] was not part of your plan, but rather an independent ability that evolved from within the Lantern Bearer."

"Once."

You always transform into the Silver Moon, overlooking all living beings.

"By hiding the universe behind you, you yourself become the forefront of the universe."

"Lantern Bearer fears is not the universe, but yourself."

"So."

"The path the Lantern Bearer charted for me... also included how to deal with you!"

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes, and a power without origin or source emerged, beginning to tear apart the giant face in the sky.

As the face shattered, the entire map of the Metaverse was also torn apart like a fragile piece of white paper, leaving countless cracks.

"No!"

You are wrong!

"Your useless human emotions are interfering with your judgment!"

The Gemini Superbrain began to roar hysterically.

And in the midst of the tearing...

Qin Yiguan finally touched the enormous sphere of consciousness, and at the same time, he also saw the 'consciousness circuits' of all mankind.

In a single thought.

All human consciousness data reversed, and a powerful centrifugal force erupted, causing those consciousnesses to seem to board a lunar rocket and fly away at high speed.

And the endpoint of these consciousness data.

This is the real world that Qin Yiguan had sought countless times but had never been able to see with his own eyes.
