Chapter 380: A Different World! (The End of Lin Liu)
Lim Pasha died.

When the gods crowded in the room saw him stop breathing with their own eyes, no one said a word, but just stared in a daze at the ordinary old man's body.

Gradually, an inexplicable atmosphere of sadness began to shroud the room...

Although Pasha tried hard to comfort everyone before his death and enthusiastically made many positive declarations, such as "There will be no new sun until the old sun sets", "Matter is indestructible, it will only shatter", and "Everyone should celebrate the victory of matter."

But is it really possible to celebrate?
No matter how many positive words of encouragement there are, it cannot change the fact that Pasha is dead. The sun that has shone for nearly two hundred years has completely set and will never rise again.

Indeed, after Pasha's death, everyone is a sun, and in the future countless new suns will begin to rise from the sea, each of them bright and full of vitality.

They will use their light to illuminate more people, guide all beings to go further and further on this rugged road, and create their own legends!

However, each of them will no longer be this old sun...

All living beings and the world have lost a sun forever.

How can this not make everyone sad?

The silent mourning begins...

[When the news of Lin Pasha's death spread to the four continents via telegram, weeping spread throughout the world! ]

[Those who grew up during the Pasha era knew that he had been in poor health in recent years, but they still found it hard to accept the news of his death.]

【So people began to mourn Pasha in their own way.】

[Some people cried bitterly, some wrote eulogies and recited them, some wrote poems and lyrics to express their grief... Of course, people from different places expressed their emotions according to local customs: people in Nanzhou burned paper collectively, people in Dongzhou set off lanterns at the beach, and people in Beizhou hunted and offered sacrifices...]

[Although the methods are different, the feelings are mutual. 】

[Only Xizhou...]

[Since Xizhou has been divided for many years, the cultures of different regions are also very different, resulting in different ways of mourning in Xizhou. 】

[Some people erected a cross for Pasha, some wanted to make a mummy for Pasha, and some found a bunch of vultures and said they wanted to arrange a sky burial for Pasha! ]

[There are so many tricks that even though everyone understands their serious feelings, it is still difficult to maintain...]

[Finally, the gods made a decision: Pasha's body should be handled according to his wishes! ]

[Then the remains were refined into ashes by the gods and scattered across the four continents! ]

[You have completely merged with the heaven and earth, and will never be separated from you again...]

[In the 155th year of the New Heavenly Court, the Second Generation of Lin Liu, the Supreme Ruler of the New Heavenly Court, passed away at the age of 138! ]

[That year, Li Ziliang, who lived a second life, took the title of "Emperor" and became the supreme ruler of the new heaven, governing the four continents! ]

[The old sun sets, and the new sun rises. It will lead all living beings to move forward and into the boundless starry sky...]

The monkey sat alone on the busy street of the capital.

It was so lonely that it didn't fit in with the bustling streets, and passers-by didn't find it strange to see such a strange big monkey...

Because it is in the state of cultivation, no one other than the protagonist can see it.

Ever since the day it started practicing Taoism in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, it has been so lonely, and only Patriarch Bodhi and Lin Liu can see it.

But Patriarch Bodhi is its master after all, and it always feels uncomfortable talking to him. Apart from learning skills from him and acting as the master's "mouthpiece", it basically has no substantive communication with Patriarch Bodhi.

Therefore, it can actually only talk freely to Lin Liu.

In its eyes, Lin Liu is a friend with whom it can talk, a benefactor to whom it has owed endless favors, and an elder in a sense!
But now, this only spiritual sustenance has died, and he is willing to die for his own path...

The monkey felt confused about this. It didn't know what it could do in the future, nor did it know what the meaning of its existence was.

The only reason for its birth was to cultivate the Tao, until it followed Patriarch Bodhi's plan and transformed itself into the "protagonist anchor"!
But this plan itself is ridiculous, because "turning the false into the true" has never existed, and this "cultivation plan" was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Failure is actually not that scary, because it is just an experiment. If it fails, it fails. The worst that can happen is that you can terminate the experiment and return to the primitive times!

However, Lin Liu's arrival made this retreat a pipe dream.

In front of this genuine protagonist, he was useless on the spot. Even the Bodhi Patriarch, who was actually the collective will of the nine saints, was laid off. From the master who created the dream, he became a "prisoned bodhisattva" who was imprisoned in the "Spiritual Platform Square Inch Mountain" for an indefinite period of time...

The path to cultivation is blocked, and the path back to the primitive world is also blocked. What should we do in the future?
The monkey doesn't know.

It only knows that it will continue to live in this dream world and there will no longer be anyone it can talk to easily.

Because Lin Liu said that he was completely dead this time, so unlike in the past when he could start over after death, this time the world would be designated as the "end world" by the mysterious "game" and thus preserved forever.

The good news about this is that it no longer has to worry about the destruction of heaven and earth!

The bad news is that it will be a transparent "quantum monkey" forever.

Sad and confused, it could only huddle silently in the street corner, watching the bustling scene of people coming and going, but it could not find its own spiritual home...

"What the hell! If I won't stay here, I'll find another place that will!"

"What a lousy Xizhou! I can't even find a suitable job. I'm either sending telegrams or doing sales. It's a lot of work and not enough money..."

"That's right! We are college students after all. No matter how bad the school is, we are still college students. How come we can't even find a suitable summer job..."

"Humph! After graduation, I will go back to my hometown in Nanzhou. We have the sea there anyway, and I can make money by doing aquaculture... I will never come to this crappy Xizhou again!"

Clear curses fell into the monkey's ears. Under the influence of a mysterious force, it looked up inexplicably:

This is a group of college students. Judging from their appearance, they should be from Nanzhou.

This is actually normal. After all, the four continents have been unified for many years, and studying in different places is not uncommon.

But the monkey suddenly stared at one of the students closely!
Because the student's appearance was extremely familiar to it, but it was also very sure that it had never seen this person in its life.

So it looked at it for a longer and longer time, and finally, it remembered!

"It's a benefactor!"

There was surprise on its face:
Although the memory is very vague, it still remembers that it had seen this face in its previous life.

He is...a benefactor!
Unlike the flesh-and-blood images that the benefactor later took on, this is the benefactor's original appearance!

For a moment, the monkey was both surprised and confused:

"Isn't my benefactor completely dead? Why is he..."

While it was puzzled, it subconsciously used its innate magical power of "reading people's minds". Under the reflection of the magical power, all the information about this Nanzhou student who looked very much like Lin Liu was clearly visible to it:

His last name is indeed Lin!
But his name was not Lin Liu, because although his parents were from a family of fishermen on the coast, they had also attended free public schools for several years, so they would certainly not name their son with a too simple number.

His name is "Lin Wen". He is the sixth among his peers in the clan and the first college student in the fishing village. Although his grades are not particularly good, he is still a genius in the village and the hope of the entire village.

The reason why he came all the way from Nanzhou to Xizhou to study was to learn useful knowledge in the most prosperous place of the four continents, so that he could lead the whole village to prosperity in the future!
But it was obvious that he was not doing very well. He couldn't even find a job, let alone help his family get rich...

He is ordinary, no different from anyone else.

Moreover, the monkey could not feel the real aura of his benefactor from him.

Obviously he is neither the protagonist nor the benefactor...

and many more! ! !

The monkey was about to look away in disappointment, but suddenly his eyes widened:
Because the moment it realized that this student named "Lin Wen" was not its benefactor, a "real aura" suddenly emerged from Lin Wen's body!
This is a real feeling, the monkey will never make a mistake, it is exactly the same as the benefactor, no matter where he goes, he is as conspicuous as a torch in the dark night...

It is the benefactor!
At this moment, the monkey was filled with surprise. He didn't have time to think about how his benefactor suddenly came back to life. He ran over excitedly and said, "Yeah..."

Ok?
It was suddenly stunned, because at the same moment, several other students, like Lin Wen, suddenly emitted real aura from their bodies!

No! Not just them!

The monkey looked at the street in confusion and shock, because every pedestrian on the street was exuding real aura!
This...is this?
The monkey was completely confused:

How come everyone has become like this?
The torches were crowded together, and the monkey was dazzled...

No, a torch of this size can no longer be called a torch, it is the sun! Groups of suns!

Under the combined shining of so many suns, the original "darkness" was instantly refined, and the entire world was filled with light, as if it were eternal daytime.

They are all the sun, they are all the protagonists, they are all the anchors!

"not good……"

There were anchor points everywhere, but the shocked monkey was not happy about it. Instead, he looked panicked because...

"Huh? Why is there a monkey here? It's so big!"

The sharp-eyed Lin Wen was the first to spot the giant golden-haired monkey on the roadside and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Afterwards, almost all the pedestrians around noticed it and were surprised:
"Where did this strange monkey come from? I didn't see it just now."

"It seems to have appeared out of nowhere... There was clearly nothing here just now!"

"It can't be a monster..."

"..."

Seeing that this group of strange new protagonists had discovered him, the monkey was frightened and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly ran away...

……

"A big golden monkey that suddenly appeared?"

When this news reached the ears of the new ruler Li Ziliang, he frowned:
What a mess! It's the Dharma Ending Age now, how can there be any ghosts and gods?

"It's probably just a wild monkey that escaped from somewhere when no one was paying attention... No need to report it, just deal with it yourselves."

After casually arranging this unimportant matter, Li Ziliang sat alone in the room, sensing something in his body with an inexplicable look on his face:

Just now, the last ray of my divine power completely dissipated into nothingness...

The divine power disappeared, and the Dharma image no longer manifested, as if he had never been a true god, and had never even practiced cultivation.

It seems that I have always been just a mortal.

Obviously, the last step of the materialization of heaven and earth has been completed, the Dharma Ending Age has completely arrived, the myths have disappeared forever, and no one will be able to reproduce the power of God again...

It is difficult for Lao Li to explain his current state of mind:
Happy? Sad?
Maybe neither...

He just felt a sense of relief and loss.

In fact, people have never been very accepting of materialism. After all, why would they destroy themselves by creating the Dharma-Ending Age?
For mortals?

Why should we make such a choice for the sake of mortals?

When the Dharma Ending Age caused by materialization comes, even the immortal true gods will have to grow old and die. This level of price only brings mortals the prospect of independent development.

To be honest, if this decision hadn't been made by Lin Liu, it would have been strange if everyone didn't kill him!
Now that materialization is complete, everyone has lost all their divine powers and can only begin their second life of only a hundred years in the new bodies of their own choice.

The instigator, Lin Laoliu, also paid with his life for it...

In fact, Li Ziliang never quite understood him. After all, if he wanted to live, he only needed to let all living beings deliberately emphasize that he was immortal, so that he could go against the laws of heaven and earth and prove his immortality!

But Lin Liu refused to go against this principle and insisted on seeking death. In the end, he got what he wanted and died on the way to prove his truth:

The materialization of heaven and earth is his Tao, and the biggest obstacle for him to realize this Tao is himself. Unless he dies, the materialization cannot be considered complete.

Facing Lin Liu's choice, Lao Li had nothing to say:

Anyway, this expert in courting death has left a way out for him, Old Li. When he is about to die of old age, he can just read the mysterious note...

The mysterious Lin Liu is always so mysterious.

"That's all."

Old Li sighed:

"Just think of it as something I owed you in my previous life. No matter what, I will help you lead these mortals forward for a hundred years..."

Mr. Lin! Watch out for me. I won’t break my promise!

Gritting his teeth, Lao Li began to review the reports from various places...

……

When the monkey finally returned to the "Square Inch Mountain" from the city after going through countless hardships and going through 81 difficulties, it was confused:

Why, why did everyone become the same protagonist as the benefactor?

Along the way, every person it meets is a true protagonist whose qi cannot be faked, it is as if all the people have turned into the sun!
Isn’t this cultivation too simple?
The monkey began to doubt life...

At this time, a white figure with a constantly changing appearance approached.

Seeing Him, the monkey couldn't help but complain:
“Grandmaster…Everyone I’ve seen along the way has become the protagonist. They all see me as a benefactor…I was almost caught by them!”

"Didn't you say that there is no such thing as turning a fake into a real thing? But why is it that everyone is turning a fake into a real thing now..."

At this point, the monkey made a bitter face:
"Now, all of them, the mortals in the dream, have become the protagonists, but I, the protagonist of the dream, still can't practice anything, and success in cultivation is nowhere in sight..."

Suddenly, the plump ancestor stretched out his big, tangible hand and gently touched the monkey's head:
"Disciple, you have actually succeeded."

what? !

The monkey, who was still complaining, was stunned when he heard this, but before he could react, the master sighed:
"As expected of the protagonist who is destined to solve all problems..."

“After you reach the prehistoric world, you must always remember this benefactor, because he not only accomplished the transformation of the world in this dream, but also truly realized the great wish that everyone is the sun!”

"He used his own life to save all sentient beings in the two worlds. His merits are immeasurable!"

After saying this, Patriarch Bodhi, filled with emotion, disappeared like smoke.

Afterwards, the monkey, who looked confused but seemed to have realized something, also turned into smoke and disappeared...

No one would notice that two insignificant people were missing from the world, and people continued with their ordinary lives.

However, this ordinary life was obtained by Lin Pasha at the cost of his life and by changing the world.

The victory of materialization took his life, but it also completely changed the nature of the world. From now on, this place is no longer anyone's dream, and there is no longer any special protagonist.

The material wind has completely changed the world.
