Chapter 376 The road to destruction is also a rebirth!
[The strategy from "another self" slowly flows into your mind. When you see it clearly, you can't help but be stunned for a long time...]

[“The sun that shines for others should also shine for itself once…”]

[You silently recite these last words over and over again, and an inexplicable feeling begins to brew.]

[Yes, why should you put all the decision-making power on others? This decision leading to death should be made by you. ]

[Normally, it’s fine. Asking for advice from others is a form of humility and a good way to fill in gaps. However, if you still ask others when you know you have no choice, it is a complete lack of confidence! ]

[They are all dead ends, what else do you want him to choose? ]

[Besides, didn’t you already have your own answer…]

[After a moment of silence, the evasiveness in your expression gradually dissipated, replaced by calmness and determination. ]

【“谢谢。”】

【You said softly.】

【…】

[You ignored the monkey's advice! ]

[In the days that followed, you continued to promote the "materialization of heaven and earth", constantly building and deepening a consensus on the will of all living beings: "Heaven and earth are made up of material elements, which are particles, divided into microscopic structures such as atoms and molecules..."]

[Since going in the opposite direction will lead to ruin, it is better to stick to the path until the end! ]

[Will materialization lead to a greater and greater difference between heaven and earth and the primitive world, thus making cultivation hopeless? ]

【No problem! 】

[Will materialization lead to the "End of Dharma Era", making it hopeless for true gods and monks like you to achieve immortality? ]

【No problem! 】

[Will materialization lead to your death, causing the world to lose its anchor and go to destruction? ]

【No problem! 】

[Anyway, you have come this far, you have put in all your efforts and energy, and achieved the best result you can, so what else are you dissatisfied with! ]

[Whether it's death or life, destruction or falsehood, the path is yours to choose, and there is only one path to choose. Even if the ending is bad, you can bear it.]

[As for Zhao Si saying that he can let you start over...]

【That’s not necessary. 】

[Because you have seen the true nature of the world and your only path. No matter what, you can't do better than you are now, so you choose to accept this fate and refuse to reincarnate again.]

[This life is your last life! ]

"what?!"

Seeing Lin Liu's words of being happy to die and his description of refusing to reincarnate again, Zhao Si couldn't help but be extremely shocked:
"No... why are you also trying to commit suicide like Jiao Ming?!"

Lao Jiao wanted to commit suicide because he could not see a way forward. In addition, his mentality had completely aged under the influence of time, which led him to self-destruction.

Could it be that Lin Liu also...

"System, what's going on with Lin Liu?"

Zhao Si was impatient and asked the system directly:

"I haven't seen him grow old like Jiao Ming!"

【Lin Liu is not old.】

Zhao Si was puzzled:
"Then he is..."

[The reason why Jiao Ming wanted to die was because he was too old to see the way forward, while the reason why Lin Liu wanted to die was because he saw the way forward clearly.]

"He sees the way forward clearly? Then why does he still want to die after seeing it clearly?"

[Because he sees the future clearly, which is to die gloriously. ]

Zhao Si opened his mouth. Although he wanted to say something, he had to admit that this was right...

He did everything he could, he took full advantage of the overall situation and the micro-management, and even got all the off-field assistance, but there was still no hope of achieving the ideal perfect ending.

He had only one path from beginning to end, and that was the one he was standing on now.

In other words, he couldn't do any better...

[For him, instead of wasting time and energy over and over again, it is better to stay in this beautiful world that he has guided and created. ]

[In the future, ordinary people with continuous breakthroughs in science and technology will step by step walk into the peaceful and prosperous world he has always dreamed of. They are independent and autonomous, and each of them is the sun! ]

[As for Honghuang... He has never been from Honghuang, nor does he have to save Honghuang. To him, who is from the dream world, Honghuang is just a false dream.]

[If he is poor, he can take care of himself; if he is rich, he can help the world. If he can take care of both worlds, that would be good, but if he can't, he can only take care of himself. Bringing tangible benefits to the dream world is the limit of what he can do. ]

[He is full of ideals and ambitions and is forever young. He is willing to give up the immortality of the true God and sleep forever in the warm soil of his hometown, turning into ordinary soil and breeze, and forever accompany his hometown and people...]

Zhao Si paused:

It seems to be true. Lin Liu is not a person from the ancient times. As a native of the dreamland, there is really no need for him to be so concerned about many things.

But... "But he is the anchor point. If he dies, the dream world will still be..."

and many more!

Zhao Si, who was asking the question, suddenly thought of something:
Based on the system's experience, every ending of a completed simulation will actually be preserved, forming an independent worldview.

And if the protagonist voluntarily chooses to die completely, then it can be considered an ending and thus be retained.

For example, what happened after Jiao Ming died.

Therefore, Lin Liu’s plan can be fully realized. As long as he sacrifices himself, he can exchange it for freedom and peace for all beings in the dream. For all beings in this world, this is the most perfect ending!

Lin Liu, considering everything...

“But I still don’t think it’s possible…”

Zhao Si hesitated for a while, and decided to use the last active command opportunity of this game to stop Lin Liu from committing suicide:
"Give him instructions..."

However, at this moment, the system spoke:

[Players are advised not to use active commands to interfere with Lin Liu's decisions! ]

Zhao Si frowned:
"Why? If he's really dead, how can we get through the game?"

[First, you have seen the mechanism of commands before. Active commands are mandatory. If the simulated protagonist is unwilling to execute them, he will be immediately wiped out by the system, and all his achievements in the current world will be denied by the system. The entire world will turn from reality to illusion and go towards destruction.]

[Since Lin Liu has already made his decision, there is no need to discuss his choice in the face of the order. In the end, he will definitely directly oppose the execution... So your order will only lead to his early death and the destruction of the world.]

[Secondly, you made him choose to die. It was you who said that you didn't want to dominate him forever and wanted him to be independent for once, which made him decide to do so. Now that he has really made his own choice, how can you object? ]

[This sun, which has illuminated the way forward for countless people throughout his life, wants to illuminate himself once in the last period of his life, following both the permission of "another self" and his own heart...]

[Therefore, it is best for players not to change their orders every day, otherwise it will not only damage their own authority, but also damage the life and efforts of the simulated protagonist. ]

"I……"

Zhao Si was really speechless this time:

What else can I say?
After all, it was me who asked him to choose. Now that he has chosen, I can't just turn my back on him...

After a moment of silence, Zhao Si finally sighed:

"Well, let him finish his last days in style..."

As for clearing the game...it's not necessary to do so. To me, a simulation game is just a game, and it doesn't matter whether you clear it or not.

As long as Lin Liu is happy, it's fine.

……

[In the days that follow, you continue to steadily advance the process of "materialization" of the dream world. ]

[In fact, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it or maintain it, because once you introduce the concept of “elemental matter” from outside the domain, the pace of “materialization” promoted by sentient beings with their thoughts will never stop…]

[After the sun was materialized, living beings continued to recognize various things, and many world settings were changed invisibly, one by one. At the beginning, you could still find the things they had affected, but as time went by, you gradually couldn't tell them apart.]

[Because you have never deliberately observed those tedious aspects, so when they are changed, you don’t notice it, and you think they are always like this...]

[But after a while, you will also react, such as the thing called "electricity"! ]

[In your previous life, the Shinto civilization you created was powerful and advanced, but you had never seen people use electricity.]

[Not only electrical energy, but also basic properties such as "magnetism generates electricity" and "electricity generates magnetism". You have never heard of them... If these settings existed originally, people in the past life must have discovered and used them long ago... So the only answer is that they did not exist originally! ]

[They are obviously the result of the world's "materialization" of heaven and earth.]

[You can’t give me the specific principle, but you don’t need to think too much about the product of this “I think” power, because you can’t figure it out even if you think about it…]

[Over time, you gradually get used to this process and life. You only need to manage the governance of society and provide sufficient investment and funds for scientific research projects in a timely manner. That’s enough.]

[But the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. As the "materialization" of the various settings in the dream world continues to deepen, the Bodhi Patriarch in the "Spiritual Platform Square Inch Mountain" is already extremely anxious! ]

[The monkey, the "megaphone", comes to you every few days to relay the ancestor's urgent advice to you: stop before it's too late! ]

[Rein in the horse? ]

[You smiled carefreely, and then had a feast with the monkey...]

【Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back.】

[You will never change your decision! ]

[This sun, which has pointed the way for others for a lifetime, has decided to live for itself in the last period of its life. No matter if it is willful or something else, you will never look back.]

【As for life and death...】

[“The rising and setting of the sun is a natural law. I am not afraid of death, because after I die, the world will be saved, and countless new suns will have the opportunity to shine on the world.”]

[“From now on, everyone is the sun!”]
