Chi Ting didn’t want to be petty, but the timing of Lou Yueren’s appearance was indeed too good. If he had been a step later, he might’ve really taken action to die together with No 7.
At this time, he half leaned in Lou Yueren’s arms and didn’t have much time to think. He turned around and asked No 3 beside him. “What authority is he talking about? Is there a solution?”
“Of course. I traveled through so many worlds to find these guys who neglected their duties just to solve this problem,” No 3 answered. “Rule Authority is my father’s ability. He used this ability to create this unlimited world composed of rules. This means that my father has the highest authority in this world. It is precisely because of this that No 7 was able to take advantage of it. He controlled Father. In a sense, he also gained an extreme status like a god here. I don’t deny this.”
Chi Ting asked, “But?”
No 3 chuckled. “What a coincidence. There was an internal conflict among us designers some time ago. The nine people who originally obtained management authority were reduced to seven since then. It was precisely because of the deaths of No 2 and No 8 that the management authority rules here went through subtle changes. I think it was me who proposed it at that time. Looking back now, it was really far-sighted, right?”
At these words, there were no changes in No 7’s gloomy expression.
“As long as more than half the designers unite together, it will be enough to temporarily remove the absolute authority of the ‘creator’.” No 3 said, raising the black umbrella in her hand to count them one by one. “No 5, No 6, No 9, plus me. Even if we exclude the stupid idiot No 4, the four of us together have just the right amount, right?”
Even at this time, she didn’t forget to step on No 4. Lou Yueren could feel the deep disgust that was evident in the words of Miss No 3.
After hearing so much, he gently scratched his ear with his little finger. “The time is up. Can we get to the point?”
“Of course, there is no rush.”
No 3 felt unhappy about the sudden urging. The black umbrella in her hand turned a beautiful arc in the air as she threw it up. In an instant, the endless black feathers scattered around, becoming the most gorgeous background after it was spread out.
The other designers had also taken out the permission media.
Four different beams of light overlapped in the air and exploded again. One could feel that the optical fibers connected to No 1 seemed to have briefly stopped the flow of colorful light at this moment.
Lou Yueren blinked and confirmed it. “If I stab him with a knife now, he should die, right?”
No 3 replied, “If you hold on tighter, yes.”
Lou Yueren frowned. “You just know how to urge me now?”
Number 3 held the black umbrella in her hand and locked onto the top of the dreamweaver tree. She glanced at him deeply and said, “We can only suppress the absolute authority for ten minutes.”
Lou Yueren swore. “…F*k!”
Before he finished speaking, countless shadows appeared under his feet and rushed in the direction of No 7 not far away.
No 7 retreated at lightning speed, but the skin on his face was still scratched by the wind blade that broke through the air.
He reached out his hand and could touch the hot blood.
This time, the wound obviously wasn’t as serious as the one caused by Chi Ting, but it didn’t heal naturally like before.
“Really? You’re here to ruin a good thing.” After dodging just now, No 7 was forced to keep a certain distance from No 1. There was no smile in his eyes when he looked at Lou Yueren. He was extremely cold. “If I had known earlier… I shouldn’t have listened to No 1 and sent you into the instance. I should’ve completely turned you into fertilizer for the dreamweaver tree.”
“That’s right.” Lou Yueren laughed. “But you should also accept it. It was destined to be like this at that time.”
“Destined?” No 7 sneered. The next second, he suddenly realized something and his expression froze for a moment. He looked back in disbelief. “What you mean is that Butler had already planned everything now?! What a good move!”
“Congratulations on finally finding it. Otherwise, how do you think I would know to ask Little Sister No 3 to help?” Lou Yueren smiled with interest. “I’m sorry, you have lost the authority you can rely on. No 7, you failed.”
No 3 corrected again. “I’m not a little sister.”
“It isn’t important. Don’t worry about the details.” Lou Yueren controlled the overwhelming shadows to surround No 7. He gently patted the shoulder of the person in his arms, leaned over to look, and his tone became extremely gentle. “Dear, have you rested enough? I’ll leave it to you from now on? Or I’m also happy to do it for you.”
“No need. I have other accounts to settle with him.” Chi Ting looked up. Compared to the initial look when he was shocked, his initially distracted mind was now much clearer.
Following this movement, the shadows that had been standing around for a long time finally moved again. They gathered together step by step and surrounded the man layer by layer.
At this moment, all the output capabilities were focused on No 7.
It was like a web of interwoven heaven and earth. Without the protection of the authority, anyone was destined to be unable to escape.
The phantom army moved to both sides to leave a passage. Chi Ting shook his body slightly when he stood up from Lou Yueren’s arms and walked forward step by step.
He stood in front of this person and looked down. “One last question.”
No 7 laughed softly as if knowing what he was going to ask.
This change in expression actually gave Chi Ting the answer, but he still continued to ask. “All the superpowers in our world were indeed created by you, right? So, how should I call you? Should I call you No 7, Qi Xiu, or your other name… Doctor Ling Wenguang of the Ark Laboratory?”
In fact, Chi Ting had never forgotten this name since the Ark Laboratory, but he didn’t know why he felt it was so familiar at the time. This was until he learned the authority of No 7 behind Qi Xiu. A person’s appearance might change with the data he controlled, but the feeling and temperament it brought wouldn’t. At that time, it was enough for him to finally understand where the familiar feeling came from.
Among the designers who walked through various worlds, there would always be some who gradually became unwilling to wait for the fragments of the world to be picked up. They instead extended their claws to intervene, trying to fabricate a world of their own needs.
Like No7 said, he didn’t have much time left.
He needed a new ability to resolve such a crisis before he and No 1’s body were completely crushed.
Everything was just derived from selfish desires.
Coincidentally, the world he chose was exactly the one where Chi Ting was. He completely turned it into a petri dish for alienation experiments.
Under such a gaze, No 7 didn’t deny it but just smiled slightly. “It’s okay. Call me whatever you want, Ah Ting… um.”
With a muffled groan, the shadow blade that pierced through the ribs hung there, and sticky blood dripped onto the ground.
Lou Yueren’s cold tone carried a hint of coercion. “Speak properly.”
No 7’s face was bleak, but he still looked straight at Chi Ting with a smile on his face. “Ahem, haha, ha… In fact, in a way, this is fate isn’t it? So many years of hard training and countless experimental failures. In fact, even I was interrupted and gave up on that world. I didn’t expect that at that time, I met you… Ah Ting, this is destined. This world needs your ability. All of this is destined!”
In the midst of the sound of flesh being cut, No 7’s body was almost pierced into a sieve by the dense shadow blades.
The hanging figure looked like a puppet hanging in the air.
The dense blood was like pouring bloody rain.
He was imprisoned there, motionless, awaiting the final judgment.
However, the surroundings were still filled with low and twisted laughter.
Chi Ting stared at him for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.
It was also at this time that others noticed that the phantoms around them had already mobilized all their supernatural powers. The faintly flowing light was like an undercurrent that could erupt at any time as if they were trying hard to suppress some type of emotion in their hearts.
Chi Ting said, “You should explain this fate to all the living humans who died in the alien crisis over the years.”
There was still blood on the corner of No 7’s mouth, but he was still smiling. “It should be their honor to be chosen by God.”
“You still call yourself a god?”
Chi Ting sighed softly, his eyes were cold. “I was originally considering whether to leave you an intact body, but now it seems that you really deserve to die… But dying at the hands of a superpower created by you should be considered a worthy death.”
No 3, who was always keeping an eye on the time progress, suddenly realized what Chi Ting was going to do and raised his voice. “He is deliberately trying to provoke you. Don’t!”
Before she finished speaking, No 7 suddenly waved his hand and instantly transferred No 1 to his side through space and time.
The smile on his face had soared up to the extreme.
No 3 exclaimed, “He will die with us—!”
Before she could finish her words, she was completely swallowed up by the supernatural power that exploded in an instant.
Someone rushed over to try and stop it, but what caught their eyes was a spectacular black shadow rising from the ground. It swept up first and enveloped the two people.
In the next moment, all the images disappeared in the dazzling light.
Under the impact of a force so terrifying that it could cause the entire space to vibrate, a vast expanse of white seemed to have buried the entire world.
The entire spiritual world seemed to be completely shattered. Everyone only felt tinnitus that shattered their eardrums.
This was until it became completely quiet, leaving only the stillness of the universe.
Under the huge impact, several designers were thrown all over the place.
No 3 bared his teeth, finally losing her usual elegant and calm demeanor. She resisted the urge to curse and stand up. After she came to her senses, she squinted and looked towards the center of the attack.
The vast expanse of white finally became clear.
Faintly, they could see two figures standing and hugging each other.
All the shadows around them had disappeared after the explosion, leaving only a piece of bone beads scattered on the ground.
Not far from them, where No 7 had been, the place was in ruins, and not a single wreckage was left.
It was reduced to ashes.
No remains were found.
This should’ve been a satisfactory result, but No 3’s eyes flickered faintly. “Butler is also… wrong!”
She looked down at where she was. In an instant, she realized what was happening.
Being still here meant that this unlimited world still existed.
It also meant that the person who created this world…
In a trance, No 3 vaguely sensed something. She turned her head to look and saw a hole slowly cracking next to him.
A figure in a wheelchair slowly appeared in view.
Obviously, he had been affected just now, and he looked extremely embarrassed at first glance.
No 3 walked over quickly. “Father, what just happened? Are you okay?”
No 1 shook his head without answering directly and looked up into the distance.
Since he had been under control and hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse when he spoke. “No 7 is right. Cough, cough, cough, cough… Chi Ting, you are indeed a complete lunatic. But I must admit that it was you who saved this unlimited world. Thank you very much.”
Chi Ting stood there motionless. At this time, his empty eyes shook slightly.
His mind, which had been in chaos for a long time due to the overly intense outburst, finally gradually regained consciousness. His chest was still heaving violently. He closed his eyes hard to suppress the dizziness that came with the wave of emotions.
He finally regained his vision after a long period of adjustment.
At the last moment, he already felt himself being pulled into an embrace.
In fact, he didn’t know what type of emotions were piling up in him at this moment. But just this gentle hug made him feel as if this person subconsciously gave him a last harbor of support when the whole world was completely destroyed.
It was very gentle and reassuring.
The extremely intense repression behind all the outbursts seemed to have received the most powerful tolerance.
Chi Ting lowered his eyes. The fingers that were placed on Lou Yueren’s clothes curled up slightly. Under the lingering emotions, one could feel that his fingertips were still shaking slightly.
But no matter what, his life, including the historical changes in his world, came to an end with that moment just now.
“It’s okay. It is completely okay this time.” Lou Yueren held the man in his arms without moving. He gently patted Chi Ting’s shoulders to comfort him while paying attention to his emotional fluctuations. “Don’t worry about that. You should have a good rest first. Are you thirsty? Do you want something to drink? Or how about finding a place to sleep first?”
Before he finished speaking, he glanced around, his face becoming increasingly unhappy. “No, this place has been blown up by you. There is probably no place to sleep properly. Forget it, just like on me. Go to sleep. I’ll accompany you.”
No 3: “……”
Butler No 1: “……….”
After a long time, he spoke tiredly in a low and hoarse voice. “The Dreamweaver Land still needs to be cleaned up. As for the place to sleep… I will try to arrange it.”
