Babies often symbolize new life.
In the original ultimate copy that Cheng Yuxue saw, the baby he saw might be real, or it might just be some kind of projection in his mind.
But if we consider what the first generation of players did, the appearance of this baby seems a bit abnormal.
Pandora is using this tactful way to remind Cheng Yuxue that if he wants to be reborn, he must break the old shackles.
What is the biggest shackle on them
A generation of players.
This shackle not only traps the players who come after them, but also traps the first generation of players themselves.
The customer service staff want to die, while the players want to live.
The conflict between the two is the true meaning of Pandora's ultimate copy.
If we want to enter a new era, we must bury the old era.
Using Ning Buwen's ability to make all the residents in the ultimate copy immortal is a response to the "eternal life" that the first generation wants to pursue.
And the final beautiful dream is a blessing. Perhaps, it can also be regarded as a little compensation from Cheng Yuxue and Ning Buwen to the residents of this world.
Because after this beautiful dream, the world will change drastically.
The ultimate copy world.
This night is worth remembering for everyone.
Because at this time, everyone had the most beautiful dream in their life and they didn’t even want to wake up from the dream.
At first, everyone thought that this was just an ordinary day until something strange happened.
"Oh my god, there was a car accident? Quick, send him to the hospital."
"No, his heart is about to stop."
"Where's the doctor? Where is the doctor?"
"Dad, you can go with peace of mind. Xiao Meng and I will live well."
"Mom, Mom, please don't leave me."
…
No matter how peaceful and beautiful this world is, separation and death are always inevitable.
Disease, accidents, and aging are among the important factors that cause human death, and hospitals are often the place where life and death meet.
But on this day, everything seemed to have changed.
"Alive...alive? Impossible, he had no signs of life at all just now!"
"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"That's great, it must be God's blessing, Mom, you are finally back!"
The family members were crying and laughing, but the doctors were all at a loss.
What, what happened
"XX media reported that there were thirteen bizarre cases of people coming back to life from the dead in our city today... Experts answer this question..."
"Shocked, people can come back to life from the dead?"
"It's not a miracle. I tried to commit suicide, but I'm alive again!"
“… we have eternal life!”
On television, in newspapers, magazines, forums, and various media platforms, wherever communication is possible, all human beings are shocked by this resurrection of the dead.
At first, some people scoffed at this and said it was unrealistic.
However, when they saw with their own eyes a doomed man begin to resurrect, they were forced to believe.
…
"Although I don't know what happened, I can tell you clearly." The mayor spoke on the stage with a smile on his face, "Dear citizens, from now on, death will completely leave our lives!"
The mayor responded with waves of excited applause.
People have been tirelessly pursuing eternal life, and it all came true overnight. Recalling the beautiful dream that everyone had that day, everyone regarded it as a gift from God.
Because the world in this ultimate copy advocates truth, goodness and beauty, people miss the hard-earned peace, and the world really remains beautiful for a while.
But this time did not last long.
Because people also discovered that after that day, although no one would die, no new babies would be born either.
Time seems to have stopped here.
Hospitals closed down and doctors lost their jobs.
The food industry went bankrupt and everyone lost their jobs.
…
The collapse of social order only takes a moment.
People will not die anymore, and they will not die even if they do not eat. So, do we still need to work and make efforts
Of course it is not necessary.
Similarly, even if you hurt others, they will not die, so it is easy to go too far with a joke, because the limit of this measure has lost its meaning.
People who have no bottom line and no principles may be able to maintain their good and kind nature for a short period of time, but who can remain unchanged over time
"No one has come to my restaurant for a long time." The NPC looked at Ning Buwen and said, "No one is growing crops here anymore. I don't even have a channel to buy goods, so naturally no one comes to eat here. The bowl of noodles in your hand is the last one."
Ning Buwen looked at the simple bowl of fried egg noodles in front of him and ate slowly.
"You have given the people of this world eternal immortality." The NPC looked at Ning Buwen and said, "I originally thought you were giving up on yourself, but now I know that this is the best way."
"Pandora gave me all the tools to pass the level a long time ago." Ning Buwen took a bite of noodles. The noodles were really bland, but he still tried to eat it. "It allowed Cheng Yuxue to come to this world for the third time and gave me unlimited copies. It already told me how to pass the level, but no one has thought about it."
"Yeah, who would do the opposite?" The NPC said with a wry smile, "Its request is to destroy this world. To destroy the world, you must first kill all the people here, but you chose to let the people here live forever."
Although they seem to be going in opposite directions, they actually lead to the same destination.
The resources in this world are limited. Due to the disasters over the years, the resources in this world are pitifully few. The land is bare, the rivers are dry, and the cities are almost destroyed. Even if there are many green plants now, they only appear in places where humans live in large numbers.
If humans were immortal, it would seem that this would reduce the consumption of resources.
But in reality, more resources will be used.
"In fact, we humans are very strange creatures." Ning Buwen looked at the NPC and laughed, "When a crisis occurs, we can sacrifice ourselves to accomplish something that is almost impossible to succeed. But once peace comes, we like to find trouble for ourselves. All the peaceful dynasties in history were almost always the times when internal strife was the most intense."
"I know that you humans have a saying, 'Born in sorrow, die in comfort.'"
"Yeah." Ning Buwen drank all the soup without leaving any mouthful. "Now, I'm just waiting."
Wait for time to move forward little by little, wait for those players who should have appeared at a later point in time to come to this world, wait for this world to be overwhelmed.
That time will be the opportunity for the world to be completely destroyed.
Eighty years later.
"Thank you for the juice. Few people use this kind of stuff nowadays. The last time I drank juice seems to have been decades ago."
"Now that we can live without food or drink, these foods have become meaningless. But I always feel that if I don't eat or drink something, it seems that everything is meaningless."
"Boss, are you a person who has never been blessed?" The tourist put down the cup and asked the white-haired old man in front of him.
It's rare to see people this old.
Because once a person reaches the end of his life span, he will be reborn.
However, among these immortals, there are many people who have not been blessed. They will grow old and die, and they are incompatible with them.
At first, they all felt pity for those who were not blessed because they would face death.
But now, as time goes by, it is their turn to envy these people.
Not dying means there will be no hope in your life, and you won’t cherish what you have now.
Human life is short and brilliant.
Death became a distant dream.
Those who have not been warned will die one day, and when that time comes, they will have to face their own kind.
"Yes." The white-haired old man smiled, "I have lived here for many years."
"Boss, have you always been here?" The tourist thought for a while and said, "I remember a long time ago, this place was a cemetery. Then a forest grew up overnight, and in half a day the forest disappeared. The next night, we had a beautiful dream and were blessed."
"Yes." The old man smiled, "Many of the trees here were planted one by one by me."
He spent decades doing this.
For those who died because of him and Cheng Yuxue's attempt to stop the first seven players of Pandora, a tree was planted for them at their burial place.
The total number of deaths was 32,693.
So Ning Buwen planted 32,693 trees.
But if you don’t ask, you will die.
After eighty years, perhaps due to Pandora's blessing, his appearance began to age step by step.
"Do you want to receive a blessing?" The tourist was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand why this person chose to stay here. "I can tell you the truth, there is nothing wrong with death. Living forever is the greatest pain."
"No, I'm waiting for someone here." Ning Buwen replied with a smile, "Excuse me, where are you going?"
"I want to keep going." The tourist picked up his bag and said, "I have lived for a long time. My wife and I used to love each other very much, but after so many years, we have grown tired of each other. My friends have nothing to say to me anymore, because we have talked about the same trivial things dozens of times. My life has become a mess, and it is obvious that this kind of life will continue. I have had enough!"
"I heard that at the end of this world, there is a way to let me die. Time doesn't matter to me anymore, but I want to be able to sleep forever."
"I hope you can find it." Ning Bu Wen waved his hand.
"I hope I can find it, too." You Ren said goodbye to Ning Bu Wen, "I hope you can wait for the person you want to wait for, too."
"I will." Ning Buwen nodded.
In the deep dream, more and more people are dying and bleeding.
However, he has been getting closer to the present world step by step.
Everyone is working hard.
Ning Bu Wen put away all the fruits. There shouldn't be any more customers coming today.
He walked back to the cabin he had built. There was only one window in the cabin, through which he could see the forest clearly.
Cheng Yuxue's body was placed in the cabin.
"Time flies by so fast." Ning Buwen sat in front of the bed and reached out to touch Cheng Yuxue's face. "Your body has also aged, which means you are still alive."
If Ning Buwen had not discovered one day that white hair and wrinkles had grown on Cheng Yuxue's face, perhaps he would not have been able to hold on until now.
What will this world become
Ning Bu Wen returned to the most primitive life.
Work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets.
He turned this desolate land into a real forest.
He met with countless players, and even met a few players of elven descent, and told them what people with elven abilities would become in the end.
He also played cards with greed many times.
Naturally, he also heard Greed's original plan from his mouth.
Greed is now calm, because he knows that if Ning Buwen can pass the test, he can always die, so he starts to enjoy the last days of his life.
…
Ning Buwen felt that his waist was a little weak.
He is really old.
Although he thinks he is still a handsome old man.
"What date is it today? Never mind, I don't remember." Ning Buwen opened the door, "Today, the tree that belongs to Mo Yuqiong has bugs, and I have to go and get rid of them. Hey, why is it so attractive to bugs?"
"Maybe, it's because he used to like eating candy."
Ning Buwen's hand suddenly stopped.
He turned around and saw another old man.
The same gray hair.
His eyes looked a little tired, but his smile was very warm.
——————————
“… After a month of voting by all the people, the current statistical results are out!”
Wen Tianruo was wearing a specially made outfit, the left half was for men and the right half was for women.
He is making his presence known in this way.
The security team hesitated at the door of the mental hospital.
"you go."
"No, no, no, you go."
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses goes?"
"No! I'm unlucky."
"Ah, why haven't the king and the others gotten up yet? Now is the time for the final results to come out!"
"Hey, why are you panicking? Da Wang and Bu Wen didn't go, and Captain Wen Tianruo won't announce the result."
"Why hasn't Captain Ji Xing appeared recently?"
"He seems to be writing a paper titled "On the Relationship between the World Tree and Pandora's Instance"."
"Ah? Who will review Captain Ji's paper?"
“…It seems to be Aori.”
"Don't fool me, Azhi can write?"
"I heard that in the final instance, Azhi was forced to 'awaken his intelligence' and became very knowledgeable."
"It's really scary. Spiders are so knowledgeable. Do they still want people to live?"
…
Almost one third of the security team was missing.
When Ning Buwen and the others passed the level, all the players who were still alive were teleported back at the same time, but those who had died remained in the ultimate copy forever, waiting for the next generation of players to explore.
They, the eighteenth generation, successfully cleared an ultimate copy and successfully extended their generation's time for another hundred years.
They have no idea what it will be like in a hundred years.
But at least they know what they can be like now.
"You guys, change into this." Cheng Yuxue descended from the air and threw a pile of clothes to the members of the security team.
"Huh? King, why do these clothes look like those for lion dancing?" Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. Where did these antiques come from
"When the results are announced, you can perform one. I remember you can do this. Last time you performed the lion dance and it was entertaining. I want to see it again." Cheng Yuxue said, touching his chin.
The security team cried silently.
They don’t want to learn such skills either qaq!
The members of the security team looked at Ning Buwen who was standing aside for help.
"Xiao Xin, look at you, you are so old and useless." Ning Buwen lifted up Xiao Xin's ears and scolded, "How dare you snatch your great-great-grandson's bones and lose? Do you have any shame?"
Xiao Xin barked a few times to show his dissatisfaction.
The members of the security team turned their heads silently.
It seems that I can't rely on Ning Buwen.
He has now been promoted and is the commander-in-chief of the Second Legion.
After completing the final copy, Sinan decisively ran away with Azhi and could not be found at all.
"Let's go." Cheng Yuxue smiled and took Ning Buwen's hand, then threw Xiao Xin in Ning Buwen's arms to the other side, "If it doesn't work, stew it and make dog meat hot pot."
"I'm afraid the meat is too tough for us to chew." Ning Buwen was disappointed. "Forget it, let's go and see the voting results first. By the way, you guys change your clothes and go singing and dancing. You can't lose face for me and Cheng Yuxue, understand?"
The people in the security team dared to be angry but not to speak out.
I'd rather not ask what has changed.
They are no longer the little cuties they used to be.
"Let's go." Ning Buwen looked at Cheng Yuxue with a smile, "Wen Tianruo can't wait any longer."
"Okay, Mr. World's Richest Man." Cheng Yuxue teased.
"Hahahahahaha." Ning Buwen laughed happily.
There were seven ultimate copies, and they passed one of them.
When Pandora announced the clearance, it was explained by greed.
Congratulations to players Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue for passing the ultimate dungeon. The end of the technological civilization. The world's resources are exhausted, and humans will have no future. The world is destroyed.
When the sound came, all the players heard a giggle from the newborn baby.
Everyone who hears this sound thinks it is the sound they made when they were a child.
Maybe the baby is themselves
Human players can choose to redeem one of the seven elements of the Earth as a reward within the next month.
Congratulations, the 18th generation of players, you have ignited the light of hope. Greed slowly put down his cane and looked at the other six companions. In their envious and jealous eyes, he opened his hands to welcome death.
"You are finally here." Wen Tianruo was finally relieved when he saw Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue arriving.
Below the platform are the remaining players of Pandora.
Pangu Legion, Noah Legion, and Freedom Legion.
Solomon sat with his father Ferdinand, and they were accompanied by Wen Duoduo and others.
They, the Glimmer Team, should not move forward at this time. Today's glory should be left to others.
"Comrades, please allow me to address you as such." Wen Tianruo shouted loudly, "Today, our hero monument has been erected, and the names of all the players who died in the ultimate dungeon have been engraved on it. We chose this place to announce the results of our final vote, so that everyone will not forget the past and move towards the future."
"After voting by all comrades, including ordinary people and Pandora players, the results of a month of voting have emerged."
The people of Pangu Corps have been busy for a whole month for the voting result.
And the votes were surprisingly consistent.
Sun, air, water, soil, climate, energy, magnetic field.
They can only choose one.
Even if they still have to live in a safe barrier, they can at least choose something that is real.
Everyone's vote is to choose the same thing from here!
The voting fee is one dollar.
All the money from voting was transferred to Ning Buwen’s account.
This means that everyone participated in this ultimate copy and everyone contributed something.
Even if it's just one dollar.
"I now declare—"
"The result of the vote by all the people is a unanimous decision to redeem our sun!"
Boom boom boom.
A long dancing lion flew and jumped out from the crowd.
Their colorful clothes instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Hahahaha, what the hell is this?"
"Is it a monster?"
“It seems to be a kind of cultural heritage in history.”
"Brother Duoduo, look, are they the brothers from the security team?" Xiao Liu asked, pulling Wen Duoduo's sleeve.
The members of the security team immediately turned their lion heads towards Wen Duoduo, as if with some enthusiastic meaning.
Wen Duoduo turned his head away silently. He didn't know these guys.
"Xiao Liu, don't say anything. Everyone is looking at us. It's so embarrassing." An Buli's face turned pale.
Casso silently began taking pictures.
Eastern culture is really interesting.
Select Confirm and the sun has been redeemed.
Pandora's voice resounded throughout the world.
The next moment.
A dazzling sphere suddenly appeared in the artificial sky.
The sun shone down in an instant.
Everyone looked up at the sky, and no one looked away even though it was dazzling.
Perhaps, we will have to go through a long generation, ten generations, or even a hundred generations before we can complete all the remaining six ultimate copies.
But as long as the sun is there, and as long as there is this warmth that is within reach, it is like having a light in the long night.
If your heart is towards light, you will not be afraid of the darkness.
One day, the earth will be back in our hands.
