"Bow to Heaven and Earth~~"
Master Chen's sonorous and powerful voice echoed over the wedding venue.
Colorful auspicious light fell from the clouds, covering the entire sky. Above the leisurely white clouds, one could vaguely see divine figures overlooking the earth.
"Auspicious light all over the world, blessings from all gods... Tsk tsk, in this world, only Qiye can have such a face."
Cao Yuan was wearing formal clothes and sitting on a snow-white chair. He couldn't help but speak while clapping.
"What are you talking about? Didn't I also bring you good fortune on your wedding day?" Fatty Baili on the side immediately retorted.
"But I don't have the blessing of the gods."
"You have my blessing."
"… "
"I've already told you to learn from Qiye. The gods in heaven already have a good impression of him, and he often gives gifts to others. Of course they are willing to show their support... I want them to bless you, but they are not familiar with you."
"It's okay, Lao Cao. I didn't have the blessing of the gods when I got married." An Qingyu comforted.
"Damn, you still have the nerve to say that! Don't you remember what you did? You poked a big hole in the Heavenly Palace and smashed the main hall to pieces. It's good enough that they are willing to send you auspicious light."
Baili Pangpang complained crazily, and when he turned around, he found that Jiang Er was making a face at him.
"Brother, we have all been blessed by auspicious signs... How about you?"
Baili Pangpang coughed twice and suddenly changed the subject.
An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, and Jiang Er all looked towards the farthest corner of the row at the same time...
Shen Qingzhu looked at his nose and then at his heart, as if he didn't hear anything.
"Bow to your parents twice~~~"
In the center of the stage, two figures dressed in traditional Chinese wedding attire bowed once again to the heaven and earth.
"Master Chen is old, it's rare to see him working so hard."
"Yeah... wouldn't he get tired of being the witness and MC three times in a row?"
"He looks so rosy and full of energy, he doesn't seem to be tired of it. Maybe he just likes this kind of side job..."
"Brother, do you think it's possible to let Master Chen be the emcee again?"
Everyone looked towards the corner again.
Shen Qingzhu: …
"Husband and wife bow to each other~~~~"
After Master Chen shouted these three words, thunderous applause rang out again.
Above the clouds, Yang Jian waved his hand lightly, and good fortune turned into thousands of petals that floated down to the earth. Grass grew, and all things came into spring.
Lin Qiye turned slightly and stood face to face with Jia Lan. He looked at the pair of beautiful eyes with radiant light, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The next moment, the two of them bowed slowly...
"By the way, how much red envelope did you give to Qiye?" Cao Yuan spoke again.
"Five hundred." An Qingyu replied.
"Me too, five hundred." Jiang Er replied.
"What a coincidence, mine is also 500." Baili Pangpang spread his hands, "It's just a 500 yuan Rolex..."
"… "
"Then I'll give 500 as well." Cao Yuan touched his pocket. "It just so happens that when I got married, Qiye also gave me 500... It's almost like I didn't lose out."
"What a coincidence! When I got married, Qiye also gave me 500 yuan as a gift, so I didn't lose out."
"Brother, what about you?"
Shen Qingzhu clenched his fists silently.
"Enter the bridal chamber~!!"
Master Chen took a deep breath and shouted out these three words in his strongest voice.
Baili Pangpang and the others immediately clapped their hands until they turned red. With the blessings of many guests, Lin Qiye and the other two temporarily stepped down from the stage, preparing to change their clothes and come inside to toast.
"Brother Zha... Qiye is going to have her wedding night tonight, you..."
"Do you believe me and I'll put a cigarette butt in your mouth?" Shen Qingzhu couldn't stand it any longer and started to curse, "Qingyu and Lao Cao have wives, but you don't, so what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"I am the Lord of Heaven and I don't marry a wife." Baili Pangpang said seriously.
Shen Qingzhu: (#｀皿′)
Lu Menglei hid behind Cao Yuan and couldn't help laughing. Cao Yuan looked serious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Lao Cao, what are you laughing at? Come and cut the cake if you can."
Cao Yuan: …
"What are you talking about? Why don't you include me?"
Lin Qiye took Galan's arm and walked towards the crowd with a smile.
"We are trying to persuade Brother Zha to find a wife as soon as possible."
"Oh... that's hopeless." Lin Qiye shrugged, "He will never get married in this life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise, seemingly puzzled... Only Shen Qingzhu looked at Lin Qiye as if he was looking at a confidant.
"Qianye, how can you be so sure?"
"Because someone told me."
"who?"
Lin Qiye raised his fingertips and pointed at the nothingness above his head.
Baili Pangpang looked over there and thought seriously for a moment... "Did Yue Lao send you a dream?"
"No..." Lin Qiye said helplessly, "Do you still remember the 'Reality Barrier'?"
"Is that the thing Azathoth tried to break?"
"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded. "After I swallowed Azathoth, I sensed the existence of that barrier... and on the other side of the barrier, someone was trying to communicate with me."
"What's on the other side of the barrier?"
"I don't know... maybe it's 'reality' itself."
"Someone on the other side of the barrier told you that Brother Zha will never get married in this life?" Cao Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Who is he? Is he that awesome?"
"He said that he was the creator of this world, the origin of everything, and the end of the thread of everyone's destiny..."
"That sounds pretty cool." Baili Pangpang asked back, "What about now?"
"Now he isn't."
"Why?"
"Because now, I am the master of this world... He said that I have escaped his control."
As Lin Qiye was speaking, several figures approached from a distance, holding wine glasses.
"We'll talk about the details when we have time."
"good."
Lin Qiye and the others clinked their glasses together, and the seven of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Groom, why don't you come and pay your respects to me?" Jin Yi walked forward with several members of the Shangxie Society. He put one hand in his windbreaker pocket and raised the wine glass with the other hand, gently clinking it with Lin Qiye's.
"Since you don't come to toast me, I can only toast you myself... After all, I'm still waiting for you to take me home."
"I was just about to come find you."
Lin Qiye drank the wine in the glass and said, "Pack your things and I'll take you home tomorrow."
Hearing this, Ji Nian was stunned.
"ah?"
"Ah what? Didn't you always ask me to take you home?"
"No... Do you know where my home is?"
"I know where your dad is."
"Fuck!" Ji Nian's eyes widened. "You contacted him? You didn't tell him about my past few years, right? The gigolo, the yacht, the nightclub, etc..."
"No."
"That's good… "
"But he said he has been watching you all these years." Lin Qiye recalled for a moment, "He also told you to prepare a good whip when you go home."
commemorate:…
The fearless president of the Shangxie Society now turned pale and his lips began to tremble.
"I... Can I not go back tomorrow?"
"He said if you don't go back, he will come and arrest you himself."
In memory of: ╥﹏╥
"It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one! The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn!" Jin Yi gritted his teeth, "Since we can't avoid it, then let's not hide! We'll leave today!"
"Today? Not today."
"Why??"
Lin Qiye answered seriously, "Because I want to have my wedding night tonight."
…
Ten thousand words were omitted that night.
…
the next day.
"Are you... sure you want to go back like this?"
Lin Qiye looked at the memorial in front of him and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Jin Yi pushed the hair behind her ears and rolled her eyes at him.
“… No problem.” Lin Qiye paused for a moment, but couldn’t help but say, “It’s just that it’s not quite like you.”
Lin Qiye has known Jinian for so many years, and every time he saw her, she was always the image of a tough girl wearing a tattered windbreaker, holding a hammer and making mechas and motorcycles... Now, looking at the girl in front of him wearing a floral dress, white shoes, and carefully braided seven or eight small braids, he felt unprecedented unfamiliarity.
But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense...
For Ji Nian, she has been away from home for more than ten years. When she left, she was still a little girl of seven or eight years old. Now that she has grown up and returned home, if she still wears that tattered windbreaker, her parents will think that she has suffered a lot outside...
No matter what kind of injustice or hardship she suffered outside, she would show her best side when she returned home.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jin Yi punched him hard, "Didn't we agree to meet at 8 a.m.? Look at what time it is now!"
"I'm sorry, I was too tired last night and didn't get up." Lin Qiye apologized sincerely.
"…?"
"Wait a minute, he sent me a message."
Lin Qiye seemed to have noticed something and took out his cell phone.
On the chat background of Jia Lan's headshot, a dialog box with a blank headshot suddenly popped up, followed by a line of words -
“Cross the barriers.”
Seeing these four words, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly. He slowly raised his head and looked towards the void above. His gaze seemed to pass through the universe and fall on the "barrier" that blocked the end of the world.
The next moment, endless pressure burst out from his body!
Ji Nian stood beside Lin Qiye and felt that his body was about to be crushed to the ground. Now that Lin Qiye had successfully upgraded his dimension and created this universe, he had become unimaginably powerful. Even if he had deliberately restrained his aura, he could still almost tear this universe apart.
Dense space cracks appeared around him, and just when the entire space and time seemed to be crumbling, a message popped up again!
"I told you to cross the barrier! I didn't tell you to blast it!!"
Lin Qiye was stunned when he caught a glimpse of these words and immediately restrained his breath.
"You guy... you're such a pervert!" Jin Yi, who was sweating profusely, looked at Lin Qiye as if he was a monster.
Lin Qiye didn't have time to argue with her, so he picked up his phone and continued sending.
"How do you cross it?"
"I'll teach you a secret code, and you just need to read it."
"good."
"Let me ask you, Xiaomei counted her chickens and rabbits, and there were 16 heads and 44 legs. How many chickens and rabbits does Xiaomei have?"
"…?"
Lin Qiye read this passage several times with suspicion, until Ji Nian came over. She glanced at the title and exclaimed softly.
"This question... why does it look so familiar?"
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and decided to trust him once, and slowly read out these words...
But just when he read out "there are 16 heads", a white light suddenly fell from the sky, and the next moment, the figures of the two men disappeared at the same time!
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was a white ceiling. Then, a young man leaned over and said with a smile:
"Hey, you awake?"
He looks older than Lin Qiye, but his smile makes him look very young, with a kind of cheesy vibe.
"You are..." Lin Qiye slowly sat up, "Blank profile picture?"
"I'm not. I just stole his number to chat with you."
"?"
"I know you very well, but you may not know me yet." The young man stretched out his hand and said familiarly, "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Ji Qianming, and you can also call me... Minghuang."
“Ming Huang?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise, “So you are Ming Huang?”
"Oh, actually those two words are 'Ming Huang', but the signal was not good when we crossed over, so Merlin misheard it."
“… Hello, I’m Lin Qiye.”
Lin Qiye held his hand.
"By the way, your last name is Ji too?" Lin Qiye turned around and saw Ji Nian still sleeping soundly on the floor. "Then she..."
"She is my daughter."
"Daughter? But you don't look much older than her."
"… It's a matter of time speed." Ji Qianming answered seriously, "The time speed in this world is different from your world. Ten years have passed in your world, but for this world, it's only more than two years."
"I see."
As the two were talking, Jinyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment, he opened his eyes dazedly.
When she opened her eyes, the first person that came into her sight was Ji Qianming. She stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up and rushed into Ji Qianming's arms!
"dad!!"
Ji Nian hugged his body tightly and buried her head in his arms. Her voice trembled a little.
At this moment, she seemed to have become the little girl who had just left home. The passing of more than ten years seemed to be just a dream... a difficult and tortuous dream.
This was the first time that Lin Qiye saw JIAN NIAN cry, and he cried so heartbreakingly.
Ji Qianming caught her steadily, tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he patted her back gently with one hand.
"Alright, alright, our Nian Nian has grown up so much... If your mother saw you crying like this, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"
Lin Qiye looked at this scene with mixed feelings. Just when he thought he should leave some private space for the father and daughter, the door of the study was slowly opened.
Lin Qiye turned his head and saw a young man holding a veteran cadre's teacup, looking at him at the door.
"Sh ...
He made a gesture to Lin Qiye to keep quiet, then waved.
Lin Qiye quietly retreated outside the study and closed the door. Although the crying sounds from inside had weakened, they were still very clear.
"The sound insulation is not very good..." Lin Qiye couldn't help but complain.
"Ahem, my family isn't well off, so it's good to have a place to live." The young man spoke somewhat awkwardly.
"Who are you… "
"Oh, blank profile picture."
"Are you the creator of the world?"
"... Did Ji Qianming tell you such a chuunibyou name?" He had a strange expression on his face. "Although I wrote that world, that's all... You can call me Sanjiu, or 'the author'... Of course, under certain circumstances, I can also be 'Erjiu'."
Lin Qiye's eyes were full of confusion.
"So... author." Lin Qiye asked carefully, "Is the world I live in created by you?"
"In a way, yes, but I am only the original weaver, and now you are its master... or, 'protagonist'."
"The world I live in is just a story?"
"yes."
"Then why am I here?"
"Because you have been recognized by readers." The young man pointed to the study room, "Just like Ji Qianming."
"He's also the 'protagonist'?"
"Yes, but it's not the same world as you."
Lin Qiye asked again, "Where are the readers?"
The young man smiled but said nothing.
"Why did you create my world? Were you just bored? Or..."
"Didn't Ji Qianming tell you about the crisis in this world?"
"No."
"Okay." The young man cleared his throat and spoke slowly, "In this world... that is, this world, there was once a red meteor that streaked across the sky.
After that meteor passed by, the world changed a bit... From that day on, human material civilization began to regress, starting with photolithography machines, satellites, spacecraft, and nuclear reactors...
These pinnacle products of human material civilization suddenly could no longer be manufactured, as if the "principles" that constituted them had been destroyed. Even if engineers replicated an identical lithography machine, it would no longer function properly.
As time goes by, more and more things are lost, including airplanes, nuclear bombs, ships, mobile phones... The pyramids of civilization built by humans, one sand and one stone at a time, are collapsing at an irreversible trend. "
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed more and more tightly, "Then what?"
"Then, I need you..."
Before the young man finished his words, loud thumping noises were heard in the study.
The two were stunned and opened the door at the same time, only to see Ji Qianming holding a belt that came from nowhere and running around the house chasing Ji Nian!
"I'll let you date male models!! I'll let you date gigolos!! You like going to nightclubs, right? You like having seven or eight handsome guys around you, right? See if I don't beat you up!!"
"Qiye, save me!! I want to go back! I don't want to go home... wuwuwu..."
"Well, you're not even going home, are you?"
"I was wrong, Dad. I was really wrong!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"My mistake was... Hey, you old man! Did you let me get it out? Take my Star Destroyer Cannon!!"
Ji Qianming:
Seeing that the two men were about to take out the star destroyer cannon to fight each other in the study, the young man's face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed between the two men and blocked the muzzle of the cannon with his body.
"Stop fighting!!! If the house is destroyed, there will be no place to live!!"
Seeing this, the two men reluctantly put away their star destroyers.
Lin Qiye saw this scene at the door, his eyelids twitching wildly. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of heaven-defying genes could produce such a wonderful father and daughter...
"Hmph, I'll deal with you when I get back!" Ji Qianming glared at Jin Yi.
"Okay, let's talk business."
The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two men stop working, "It's time to help me think of a new book."
"Are you going to create a new world?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Yes, you have already walked out of the story, and what I want to do still needs a 'protagonist'... a brand new 'protagonist'."
"Nine! Don't worry, I've prepared everything for you!"
Ji Qianming's eyes lit up and he immediately ran into the bedroom. After a moment, he took out a lottery box.
"What's this?"
"You haven't decided on the next 'protagonist' yet?" Ji Qianming shook the lottery box and said excitedly, "Then leave it to fate... I left more than 20 kinds of notes in it. You can draw four in a row as the labels for the next 'protagonist'."
"… So careless?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but complain.
"also."
The young man agreed and walked straight to the lottery box. Suddenly, he saw Ji Qianming's shining eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart...
"You didn't put anything weird in there... did you?"
"Don't worry, I'm very reliable." Ji Qianming said seriously.
The young man reached out his hand doubtfully and took out the first bunch of paper from the lottery box.
Under the curious gazes of Lin Qiye, Ji Qianming and Ji Nian, the note was slowly opened...
[Villain].
"Villain?" The young man nodded slightly, "That's fine."
"Wait, the protagonist is the villain?" Ji Nian asked in confusion, "If he's the villain... will it pass the review?"
"It depends on how you write it. I don't think it's a big problem."
As he spoke, he took out another piece of paper.
[Crazy criticism].
young people:
He turned to look at Ji Qianming, "Criticizing the villain? Are you serious?"
"What? You can't write?"
"… "
He gritted his teeth and said, "I can write it. Next one!"
Ji Qianming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and shook his hand at the bottom of the cardboard box, and a note was handed into the box out of thin air.
The young man took out a ball of paper and unfolded it...
"It's a 0?!"
He threw the note to the ground and yelled, "What the hell is this? How can this pass the review?!"
"Author, are you overthinking it?" Lin Qiye said thoughtfully, "I think this 0 doesn't mean that..."
"Um?"
"Look, he's 'Thousand' and I'm 'Seven'... If all names have to have numbers, then it makes sense that the next one would be 'Zero', right?"
The young man suddenly realized, "So that's how it is... It makes sense."
Ji Qianming was stunned for a moment, silently hiding the "是1" on his other hand, and dared not speak.
“There’s only one left.”
He reached into the box, searched carefully for a long time, and took out a piece of paper...
[No female lead].
"That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that all? Who said before that love scenes are also an indispensable part of the story?" Ji Qianming complained.
"Didn't they say there's no romance?" he explained. "There's no heroine, but other supporting characters can have romances... A crazy villain ascends to the throne alone, so why does this story need a heroine?"
"…Okay, what about the gold finger?"
"Go over there and pick one at random." He walked to the Lego toy town and thought seriously, "Ji Qianming's is a mirror, Lin Qiye's is a mental hospital... What should be the next one?"
"How about the toilet plunger?" Ji Qianming asked.
“… Goldfinger can be unpopular, but it can’t be weird.”
Lin Qiye followed the two to the Lego, scanned the many buildings, then raised his hand and pointed at one of them.
"how about this?"
"Lego Theater?"
The young man stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Okay, this is it."
He casually took down the theater, walked to the computer desk, and poured a full cup of hot water into his old cadre teacup.
"By the way, have you made up your worldview?"
"Edit?" The young man shook his head. "This time, it's not necessary..."
"Why?"
"Because this is a story that happens in the present world." The young man paused for a moment, "And we are all in this story..."
Lin Qiye and Ji Qianming looked at each other, both seemed a little puzzled.
"But before it is fully formed, I need someone to go in and stabilize this chaotic world." He said, "This person cannot be the 'protagonist', but can be another character in your world. However, because the newly born world cannot bear too much power, he or she needs to significantly weaken his or her realm before entering..."
"It was my daughter who went in last time. This time it's your world's turn, Qiye." Ji Qianming patted Lin Qiye's shoulder.
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
"How's Chubby?"
"As Lingbao Tianzun, it is not easy for him to leave the heaven... Let's change him." said the young man.
"Then Cao Yuan?"
"Won't Lu Menglei be lonely if he leaves?"
"What about Qingyu?"
"If he leaves, Jiang Er will be lonely, right?"
"That… "
Lin Qiye's expression became strange. He looked at the young man and nodded silently...
"I understand," he said.
"I'll go get Brother Zha for you."
…
