PFRG: Chapter 221

Are you willing to be the god of the new world?

No 3 had obviously guessed it a long time ago. Nevertheless, she still looked up when she heard this.

Chi Ting lowered his eyes and looked at the inviting hand placed in front of him without answering for a long time.

He knew what his answer would mean, but…

Suddenly, a shadow flashed by. There was a ‘pop’ sound, and No 1’s hand was slapped away unexpectedly.

The culprit walked slowly, seemingly casually, and quietly blocked the way between the two people. He looked at No 1 with a smile. “Butler, isn’t this boring? We didn’t seem to mention such follow-up services when I accepted your commission. What? After I helped you solve the evil you created, do I still need to help solve the subsequent troubles?”

In the face of such impolite words, No 1 didn’t show any anger on his face. Instead, he said slowly, “Indeed, I didn’t expect that the process of dealing with that guy would take so long. In my current situation, I’m afraid I really don’t have the ability to continue to maintain this world.”

His gaze passed from Lou Yueren to Chi Ting. “Mr Chi, I am very sorry for everything that No 7 did in your world. But one thing I have to admit is that your ability might be the last hope of this world. Please completely replace me.”

The steady voice came out, quietly carrying deep expectations.

Lou Yueren’s eyes became extremely gloomy.

As the only player selected in the first world, he had come to this Dreamweaver Land after experiencing the ultimate instance. It was indeed due to Butler’s secret assistance that he wasn’t killed by No 7 and only trapped in an instance, but the commission agreement between them had ended when he found No 3 to come and help.

It was as the saying went, pay back the hatred. Since No 7 had been completely dealt with, the rest of the things were none of their business.

“It is a bit boring to use moral blackmail,” Lou Yueren sneered. Seeing that Chi Ting still stayed where he was, he took Chi Ting’s hand and was about to leave. “Let’s go. Those are things they need to solve on their own. Don’t bother with these lunatics.”

However, Chi Ting didn’t move when he was pulled. Lou Yueren frowned and looked back. “Chi Ting?”

Chi Ting shook his head. “I know what you are going to say. This is indeed not my obligation, and I also hope to live purely for myself in the future. But… the fact is that our world is really gone. Do you want to make preparations in advance so we can die together for love?”

Lou Yueren naturally knew the meaning of this. He opened his mouth and said softly, “If we have to die together, it is two people dying together. If everyone dies together, it is called a mass funeral.”

Chi Ting smiled and turned around. “Mr Butler, I have just one question.”

No 1 replied, “You say it.”

Chi Ting asked, “If we leave it alone, will this unlimited world collapse completely?”

Without any pause, No 1 responded, “Yes.”

“Yes, I understand.” Chi Ting nodded slowly, his eyes sweeping across the colorful neon dream tree in the distance. “I will take over all your authority, but in return, you need to promise me three things.”

“If I can do it.”

“You can definitely do it.” Chi Ting smiled slightly. “First of all, I need you to be able to sort out and gather all the fragments of our world. I need those instances and NPCs, if any, and all the relevant data of the players.”

“No problem.”

Chi Ting continued, “The dreamweaver tree has grown, so it no longer needs to collect the so-called ‘nutrients’ from other worlds. So the second thing is that all doors to other worlds need to be completely closed from now on. All designers, including these ones, aren’t allowed to go to other worlds again.”

No 3, who had been silent all this time, interjected, “I can agree to this on their behalf.”

Chi Ting nodded. “Then the last thing is—”

His tone was slightly prolonged, and his gentle eyes were filled with determination. “All systems, including the initial ones, need to be completely overturned. New rules need to be established for this unlimited world.”

“As long as you become the new ‘god’, you will have the authority to change everything here,” No 1 replied.

“Then I have no other questions,” Chi Ting smiled slightly. “Even though there are some additional arrangements, it isn’t a big deal. There is still time to talk about it later.”

He looked at No 1 steadily. “So, when will the so-called handover ceremony take place? You should know that in my current state, it isn’t suitable for me to directly use the ability of Spiritual Authority, right?”

“I know that your alienation level is already very high. Forcing you to take over will only make things worse. So, I will cooperate with you to complete this handover right now.” The moment he finished speaking, No 1 had a slender lightsaber in his hand. He looked over calmly, without any sign that he was about to face a death that would scare everyone. “After I die, you have five minutes to take over my ability. Once the time is exceeded, the entire unlimited world will completely collapse. Remember, Mr Chi, you only have five minutes.”

Chi Ting said, “That’s enough.”

A faint smile appeared on No 1’s face.

It was like the relief when it was all over.

Lou Yueren couldn’t help sneering. “You aren’t afraid of death at all.”

“So many things have happened. I will just take it as atonement for myself.”

The moment he said this, No 1 turned the lightsaber in his hand, and the blade pierced his chest.

The exploding light instantly enveloped the entire Dreamweaver Land. The dreamweaver tree in the distance started to vibrate as if it sensed something. The calm space started to become turbulent, and clear cracks appeared faintly in the calm space and time.

No 3 looked at the figure that fell to the ground, and her expression changed.

However, she quickly calmed down and reminded with red eyes, “Pay attention, there are only five minutes.”

“I know. There is no rush. There is still time.” Chi Ting slowly took off the beads on his wrist. The red thread moved along his fingertips and condensed into a drop of bright blood the moment it passed through his palm.

He lowered his eyes and watched the ripples spread out from the void the moment it landed. He murmured with a bit of emotion about everything in front of him, “I originally created this model to prevent myself from losing control. I didn’t expect that it would be used here in the end…”

There was a light laugh, and patches of white light bloomed from the ripples.

Countless tiny fluorescent lights appeared faintly beside No 1 and gradually gathered there. The figure that stood up silently seemed to overlap with the person on the ground.

Looking at the man who was walking slowly towards him, Chi Ting asked gently, “Mr Butler, are you willing to follow me?”

“Of course, I am.”

No 1’s voice still contained a hint of laughter.

Chi Ting stood there motionless, watching all the lights and shadows gradually converge into a bone bead on the ground. Without retracting them, he snapped his fingers and directly summoned a new phantom.

Rule Authority was activated. In less than five minutes, the Dreamweaver Land, as the end point of the unlimited world, completed the entire process from collapse to restabilization.

This was the ending that No 7 once wanted, but the person who held all of this in his hands had become Chi Ting himself.

This was already a good ending, but for Chi Ting, it still felt not enough.

He raised his eyes and looked at the figure next to the phantom.

The spiritual phantom of Butler No 1 would’ve dissipated peacefully if it had been someone else, but his obsession with this Dreamweaver Land made him stay here for a long time.

It wasn’t until this moment that the smile on his face became more intense as if he was finally relieved. Seeing that the translucent body was about to gradually dissipate, Chi Ting suddenly waved his hand. “Wait a moment.”

Once Chi Ting finished speaking, he lowered his head and started to tinker with it seriously. However, after studying for a long time, he still couldn’t find a way. He could only turn around and look at No 3 next to him. “How do I use No 1’s Rule Authority?”

No 3 was still somewhat depressed after the death of No 1, and her eyes were fixed on the spiritual phantom. Hearing this, she asked with little interest, “What do you want to do?”

“Open my storage space.”

“……”

The corner of No 3’s mouth twitched slightly, and she finally looked over in disbelief. “Is this something that must be done now?”

Chi Ting nodded innocently. “Yes, it is very important.”

No 3 was speechless, but finally helped Chi Ting unlock the storage space permissions.

A moment later, Chi Ting found a rabbit doll wearing a princess dress.

Lou Yueren obviously realized something as well.

Chi Ting smiled slightly. Under his control, the spiritual phantom still lingering here was pulled by him and slapped directly into the rabbit’s head.

A few seconds later, under the eyes of several people, the rabbit’s ears moved slowly.

No 3 wondered, “…What is this?”

“The Rabbit Gentleman Special Limited Edition, a quest item reward I got before,” Chi Ting said while watching Rabbit No 1 slowly move around in place in satisfaction. “It is said to be a perfect soul container, but according to the introduction, it needs to be restarted every 7 to 30 days. However, it seems that this problem shouldn’t be too big.”

Rabbit No 1, who was still looking down at his paw, obviously hadn’t recovered from the too rapid ‘resurrection.’ Upon hearing this, he raised his round eyes and looked over. “…You, have you planned to do this all along?”

“I guess so. After all, being a savior too many times will make you tired. The responsibility on my shoulders is indeed too heavy. It is understandable that I want to live for myself within the limits of what is feasible, right?”

Chi Ting slowly squatted down. He smiled, picked up Rabbit No 1’s paw, and gently shook it. “Then let me add the fourth thing.”

His eyebrows curved as he smiled with satisfaction. “Establishing new rules is urgent. I am not very good at this, so the stability of this unlimited world still requires No 1 to take care of it.”

Lou Yueren’s original dissatisfaction had disappeared at this time. He didn’t forget to stab this person lightly. “Sure enough, early retirement isn’t so easy to happen, right, Butler?”

“……”

Rabbit No 1 silently lowered his head and looked at his princess dress. Soon, he asked, “Can I change my clothes first?”

Before he finished speaking, he was hugged in No 3’s arms. “Of course, Father. If my room hasn’t collapsed, there is a whole wardrobe of doll clothes there for you to choose from.”

Rabbit No 1 said, “…Thank you.”
