At first it was just a faint green, but soon, this green turned into a small piece. A corner of the dry earth was dyed with a small piece of green. They were lush and green, bringing vitality and miracles.
Miracles are happening—revealing a new world to people in ways beyond their imagination.
When the plan turned from imagination into reality, even Jian Si didn't know where it would go.
At the moment when the green spread, Li Yihe loosened his tightly held pen, because calculation had lost its meaning and what they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
He looked past the sprouting plants and towards the skyline. When everyone was shocked by the changes in the world, he made a quick decision: "Go back to the sanatorium."
The silent atmosphere caused by the miracle was broken by him, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Li Yihe.
"Go back to the sanatorium." Jian Si made a decision: "Immediately, right now."
"Our goal is not to clear the game." Li Yihe said quickly: "If it's just for this, why bother to start over again?"
The scene became busy, and Kong Yueze led them quickly towards the teleportation array.
"The chance to end or destroy this game, to put an end to it all, is there."
On the player who shouldn't exist, at the end of the game that is about to end.
From the beginning to the end, the reason why Li Yihe, Jian Si, Jiang Yiyi and others were able to cooperate was because they reached a consensus on the goal at a certain stage, and there was no doubt that this was that goal - to end/destroy the game.
At the moment when the world suddenly changed, Bai Cang suddenly reached out and pushed open the door behind him. His eyes passed through the god of death and locked onto Jiang Yiyi.
Mask was a little surprised by his sudden action: "Why..." He didn't finish his words, because immediately afterwards, he also felt the abnormality of the world.
For those with special abilities, although they possess abilities that exceed human limits, this world is still no different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people. There is neither so-called unknown energy that can be perceived, nor any abnormal existence that cannot be monitored by technology.
Apart from their madness, death, and abilities that represent the limits of human nature, they are no different from ordinary people.
But at this moment, everything changed drastically.
The world in their eyes has been completely changed.
Unknown energies were sensed, and rather than appearing suddenly, it was felt that they had always been there, omnipresent, filling the entire world.
In the mask's perception, the overly dense energy undulated like the surface of water, causing him to surge with it - to be precise, it was a certain existence in his body that resonated with an unknown existence outside, forming a wonderful connection, causing him to stagnate the moment he realized that something unusual had occurred in the world.
Not only him, but also Li Yihe and others who rushed to the sanatorium, and even the idle ability users at the bottom of the Star Prison, fell into a sudden stillness.
The first step towards the emergence of a new world, the dawn of the opening of the evolutionary path, first occurs to those with special abilities.
Kong Yueze turned his head to glance at Li Yihe who suddenly paused, then turned back to look at Jian Si who had his eyes half closed.
There were countless lights in Jian Si's lowered eyes. That was the inevitable leakage of energy when the new world and the old world merged. He controlled the energy fluctuations that were enough to make this place cease to exist, allowing everything to continue.
He said calmly, "Continue."
Even if humans can calculate everything, they cannot control the occurrence of accidents.
The limit of human wisdom, Li Yihe was the first to be forced to interrupt his original plan due to unforeseen accidents.
Kong Yueze withdrew his gaze and took Jian Si into the teleportation array.
The mask paused, and the Grim Reaper's complicated expression froze.
Only Bai Cang walked into the room without any hindrance.
He stopped beside Jiang Yiyi, bent down and approached Jiang Yiyi, looked at Jiang Yiyi carefully, and asked, "Has it started?"
Bai Cang was getting a little close, but this did not attract Jiang Yiyi's attention. His attention was focused in front of him - on a screen that others, or to be more precise, the NPCs of this world could not see, was playing a CG with exquisite painting style.
Scenes flashed by, showing the true ending of the game.
The universe was expanding, and buildings belonging to humans were rising from different planets. Smiling humans were strolling in their beautiful homes. A majestic school flashed by, and the name of "Ability Vocational and Technical College" paused briefly for two seconds above the school. High school students carrying backpacks walked into the school in twos and threes, filled with the breath of youth.
A teacher wearing glasses and full of bookish air walked up to the podium; a tall and strong teacher ran on the playground; a successful person smiled on the podium marked with a charity gala; a young politician full of ideals waved his arms in the center of the crowd...
Every scene is filled with extremely bright colors, every scene is filled with brilliant smiles everywhere, and every scene is full of love and hope.
But Jiang Yiyi's brows frowned instantly.
A teacher with a bookish air is a professor. A teacher with a strong physique is an origin. A successful person is a collector. A young politician is a mask...
In the scenes of love and hope, there are people with special abilities that Jiang Yiyi is very familiar with.
Love and hope
Death and blood, I'm afraid.
The beautiful scenes on the cg were still flashing by quickly. Jiang Yiyi had already retracted his gaze and answered Bai Cang's question: "It's started."
Bai Cang stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Jiang Yiyi's eyebrows, and his tone was slightly lowered: "Is it difficult?"
Jiang Yiyi's frown relaxed again, and he was about to turn his head to avoid his hand, but Bai Cang had already withdrawn his hand as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yiyi's action, which had not yet been implemented, was aborted.
"No, I'm just a little surprised." Jiang Yiyi thought about the words and said, "Surprised that it didn't even try to hide anything."
Bai Cang stood up straight and looked in a certain direction: "Probably because it knows very well that there is no possibility of reconciliation between it and the doctor."
Since it is impossible to reach an agreement and confrontation cannot be avoided, why bother disguising everything as sweet candy and trying to lure ignorant tourists
After flashing through scenes symbolizing a "bright" future, the official plot appeared.
In the cg, Jian Si's figure emerged from the darkness.
“Is this the new world?”
The Jian Si in the plot is completely different from the Jian Si that Jiang Yiyi is familiar with. To be precise, he is more like the one that Jiang Yiyi first knew, the one called "Little White Rabbit".
Harmless, weak but good-looking - in line with the appearance of a game protagonist. The first two characteristics make it easier for players to get into the game - after all, most players can only be described as harmless and weak, and the latter characteristic satisfies players' pursuit of "beauty".
A presence in the darkness answered him.
"Yes, this is a brand new world. A beautiful new world where everyone has power and everyone can control their own life."
"It's not what I thought." Jian Si hesitated and said, "The world has not become a better place because of this. The opening of the road to evolution has brought more possibilities, but at the same time, it has also brought more death and killing."
The voice in the darkness asked, "Don't you like it?"
Jane Si hesitated and said, "I don't think anyone will like it."
“Really?” The voice in the darkness smiled slightly, “But from what I know, there are more people who are ecstatic about the arrival of all this.”
"However, since you have opened up a new world, you have the right to choose the world you like." The voice in the darkness said: "Come on, make your choice."
Jian Si raised his head hesitantly and looked at the players outside the CG.
The scene pauses at this moment.
Jiang Yiyi had a premonition: This plan, really, would not want to...
As if to confirm his guess, the paused CG style suddenly changed, and huge white text on a black background jumped out.
"In a world where everyone has special abilities, what will the world become of those who have gained freedom from the Star Prison?"
"Make your choice and change the new world!"
Below it was a line of words so small that they were barely legible: "The sequel to "Star Prison Storm", a high-degree-of-freedom RPG stand-alone game "Star Alliance Storm", waiting for you to play!"
This perfectly confirmed Jiang Yiyi's initial vague guess: this idiot planner actually intended to develop a sequel, and expanded the map from Star Prison to the entire Star Alliance.
But according to the law that only when the original sells well will a sequel be released - this rubbish game that treats players as a gaming experience is actually played by people? And there are quite a lot of people
Human beings are truly beyond imagination.
Jiang Yiyi's thoughts wandered for a few seconds, but quickly returned to the present moment - the world outside the game belongs outside the game. For the NPCs in the game, this CG only proved one thing.
The new world they pursue not only has nothing to do with hope, it even symbolizes a worse future - from a survival game confined to the Star Prison to a large-scale survival game that includes the entire Star Alliance.
Therefore, there is no need for this game to exist.
Therefore, they are not satisfied with just completing the game.
Because completing the game does not mean it is over; on the contrary, it is still running and still manipulating the game world.
What really needs to be destroyed is this game from the beginning to the end.
Not the new world, not the old world, but this game.
At some point, people will have the illusion that the old world represents the game to some extent. In fact, this is an illusion that is very easy to produce, and Jiang Yiyi has also been confused by it.
Until Li Yihe said those words.
"The new world will inevitably replace the old world, and that special substance will inevitably affect everyone. Then, the wave of evolution of the entire Star Alliance will begin."
“Everything we do will be part of this game.”
"Because the game itself is an extremely broad concept, it includes the entire world and the development of all plots."
The new world will inevitably replace the old world. This is part of the game's plot, which means that there is no difference between the new world and the old world for them.
It doesn't represent this game, and it doesn't make any sense.
They only exist in the game's plot and settings, and are just part of the game's worldview.
No matter which world is destroyed, the game still exists, just like the game has countless endings, covering various side quests. At best, this can only be regarded as a bad ending for the player.
It can't be said to have ruined the game.
The CG of the true ending has come to an end, and the fusion of the new world and the old world has reached a new stage.
Kong Yueze's steps paused in mid-air, and the unknown existence showed its presence to them. In an instant, the surging unknown energy exceeded a certain peak, and the scope of influence expanded from those with special abilities to ordinary people.
Countless busy ordinary people suddenly came to a standstill, and the whole world became completely quiet.
As the Covenant had urgently issued an evacuation notice before everything began, the world fell into an abrupt stillness, without causing too many casualties - although it still existed, it was only an insignificant corner in the context of the times, and compared to the new world that people were about to face, casualties of this level could not even enter people's field of vision.
Jian Si paused slightly, turned his head to look at the world that had truly quieted down, or rather, had truly become lively, and continued moving forward.
Behind him, Kong Yueze came to a standstill.
Kong Yueze, who had made all preparations and even had the support of the Star Alliance, was forcibly deprived of the right to participate due to an irresistible existence.
Bai Cang retracted his gaze and asked Jiang Yiyi: "Do you need help?"
Although he knew very well what answer he would get, if there was a different answer, Bai Cang would be very happy to die for Jiang Yiyi's request.
It's not that you may die, but that you will definitely die.
If an NPC in the game tries to destroy the game, the first thing he has to face is destroying himself.
"Doctor, everything is in place, you can start."
Jian Si tore open the space, walked out of the gap, and said calmly.
This is why Jiang Yiyi is the leader of this plan, as it is something only he, as a player, can do.
Even the new world cannot transcend the dimensional limitations and do anything to the game itself.
Jian Si raised his half-closed eyes, and light spread from his eyes, enveloping the entire independent space. The virtual existence was wiped out inch by inch, leaving only the reality.
Jiansi's perfect appearance disappeared in the light, forming an exceptionally bright ball of light, which constantly emitted soft light and connected the entire world.
Jiang Yiyi turned her head to look at Bai Cang.
Bai Cang's external body disappeared bit by bit, and the dazzling light and shadow were looming, but the next second, everything condensed again, and the light and shadow were reshaped into a human body.
Bai Cang raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yiyi, and declared calmly: "I am different from it."
"It is a new world, and I am Bai Cang."
So Bai Cang, standing in front of Jiang Yiyi, did not change at all.
Jian Si's voice rang out from the light, covering the entire space.
"If you want to talk about love, please find a place to solve it yourself later."
There was no human emotion in its voice, it was ethereal and sacred—even though the words it spoke had nothing to do with the sacred.
"This area has been stripped from the world. The interface for logging out of the game has been created. Now, you can end the game."
Jiang Yiyi looked at the screen that only he could see.
The screen was paused on the CG picture. After it appeared in this space, it began to flicker as if the signal was bad. After a while, the interface slowly changed.
"Check if the player has completed the true ending. Do you want to end the game? Yes/No"
Jiang Yiyi's familiar character interface was replaced by this new interface - which meant that his abilities that were activated by clicking on skills disappeared.
At this moment, Jiang Yiyi had nothing except the light screen of the end of the game floating in front of her.
Without the skills of a player, or even himself.
Jiang Yiyi lowered her head and did not see any familiar body. In this area, the characters belonging to the game were destroyed, and only the players were left, players who should not exist.
The illusory human figure floated in the air, dim and dark, so illusory that one could see the scenery behind the figure through it.
He was surrounded by the light that filled the entire space, and it seemed as if he would be lost in the light in the next second.
At some point, the world will suddenly show its cruelty and reality to people.
It deprived Jiang Yiyi of his uniqueness as a player, leaving him with only one choice - to end the game or continue the game, and then wait for him to make a choice.
Is this the choice that Death and Deviants once faced
After stripping away all the credentials, what's the less bad option out of two bad ones
It was hard for Jiang Yiyi not to laugh at this, at the innocence of this game.
Did it really think that people could only choose between the options it gave them? Between death and a bad life
All the education Jiang Yiyi received taught him only one thing: human beings never succumb to fate.
In the course of history, it is precisely because there are always people who make the third choice that history can continue and civilization can be preserved.
If there are only two options, bad and worse, why not think of an alternative
Instead of limiting yourself to bad options that will lead to certain death, open up new options for yourself.
Then you will find a glimmer of hope.
Jiang Yiyi chose the third option which was not among the options.
The world shrouded in light suddenly began to move in turmoil.
The illusory figure solidified again in the next second.
Bai Cang put his hands in his pockets and looked at Jiang Yiyi, appearing extremely calm about all the changes that had just taken place.
It was not until the solid figure was fully revealed that he showed a hint of surprise.
It’s not Jiang Yiyi with a perfect appearance, but Jiang Yiyi with another appearance.
Bai Cang pulled his hand out of his pocket, feeling a little impulsive - the urge to reach out and rub the other person's soft short hair.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yiyi's face, unable to move away.
In fact, Jiang Yiyi's current appearance is more like a weakened version of her previous one. Similarities between them can be found in her eyebrows and eyes, but objectively speaking, there is no comparison between the naturally generated appearance of humans and the appearance created by the game.
But at the same time, after weakening the overly deliberate perfection, it actually highlights the reality of human beings, humans with free will, rather than NPCs who can only choose from the options given by the game.
Jiang Yiyi remained indifferent to Bai Cang's gaze and continued with his choice: "I choose to destroy this game."
There was no change in the space shrouded by the light.
The "yes/no" options seemed to be mocking Jiang Yiyi, and would never change.
Jiang Yiyi lowered her eyes and laughed.
Light emanated from his body, and the ball of light connected to the light suddenly dimmed.
"What—" New World made a surprised sound.
Brilliant light emanated from Jiang Yiyi, just like his existence, he stood shiningly in the center of the stage, attracting the attention of the world.
Jiang Yiyi repeated: "I said, I choose to destroy this game."
This time, "it" could no longer ignore him.
The author has something to say: Why not think of another way? —From the game "Invisible Guardian".
The two sentences that I remember most vividly from this game are this and "I witnessed your story."
This is a great game! I can play it for three days and three nights! I recommend it to all readers who haven't played it yet!

The next chapter will be the finale, bringing everything to a close.
