Chapter 419: The First World Line

" Lu Yizhan, do you know why I am taking you into the temple today?" Bai six laughed softly with pleasure, "Only those with [God] level desires can step into this place."

" Fang Dian and you are both like this, except that your desires are not evil and you are almost qualified to replace me as the next generation of evil gods."

Bai six sighed with regret as he raised his hand, a wall of water separating them from Fang Dian, whose head hung.

"It is a pity that you do not want to become evil gods."

"Then I will have to charge you the price for participating in the evil game."

Lu Yizhan looks up slowly, realising something.

Bai six smiled and continued, " Lu Yizhan, if you win a world line, that world line will continue to run as it did after you won."

"- that is, if at that time Fang Dian fell in love with someone and went as far as to marry him."

Lu Yizhan's eyes slowly widen and tears slide down the corners of his eyes.

Bai six said, "Then she will go on living happily ever after with this man."

"She won't remember you, you're just an irrelevant person who won the game."

"Lose the game, and you will witness her suffering as the soul of your beloved is destroyed before you, and you will suffer because she suffers."

Bai six turned his head to Lu Yizhan with a smile: "And if you win the game, you will lose her and witness her living happily ever after with someone else."

Lu Yizhan spoke hoarsely, "...... That's the price you want me to pay [for the pain], isn't it?"

"You set all this up from the beginning, to make Fang Dian and I pay for it."

Bai six said with a downcast smile, "Yes."

"In a sense I am charging every judge with [pain], but only your soul and Fang Dian's have been hardened in [pain] and the pain you two have given me is the most valuable."

"In a sense, actually." Bai six turned his head sideways to Lu Yizhan, the smile on his face light, "I'm curious as to what you'd choose."

"Will you continue to try your hardest to win by all means, or will you simply choose to lose the game and possess the one you love."

"From now on, do you really lose the game because you can't win, or is there just a hint of that vile desire to lose deep in your soul?"

Lu Yizhan did not speak.

By the time the next world line began, Lu Yizhan had been in a trance for several days and had been pulled back from a mission by Cen Buming, who had been wounded and put in a hospital room.

Cen Buming frowned at Lu Yizhan, who was sitting on the ward with his chest clutched: "What are you doing?"

Only then did it dawn on Lu Yizhan that, oh, Cen Buming, the world line, had been won over as soon as he landed.

Lu Yizhan used [World Line Memory Overlap] on Cen Buming, directly letting Cen Buming know everything that had happened from the first world line to the present, and he now had memories of the first world line and the previous world lines.

Except for what happened at the shrine.

Lu Yizhan keeps his head down in silence.

Cen Buming raised an eyebrow: "Something to do with Fang Dian?"

Lu Yizhan's fingers curl for a moment.

Cen Buming is impatient: "Don't make me torture you with heresy to make you talk, be honest and talk fast, I'm busy saving the world, Captain Lu."

Lu Yizhan knew the character of Cen Buming and took a deep breath before finally giving a full account.

Cen Buming grimaced as he commented on Bai six's behaviour: "Bitch."

Lu Yizhan nodded in sympathy.

"You don't give a shit." Cen Buming gave Lu Yizhan a cold, stern sweep of his eyes, "And you wonder if you're really mean enough not to want to win, do you have what it takes to win?"

Lu Yizhan, who was stabbed with precision: "......"

"It's not doubting yourself either, is it?" Lu Yizhan scratched his head, his voice low as he lowered his eyes, "That time when I heard Fang Dian and that man were getting married and saw that man burned to ashes because of Fang Dian's love ......"

"There was actually a moment, as ridiculous as it was, when I was really kind of jealous of that pile of ashes."

"Because I'm not even qualified to be turned into ashes, I can't ...... get near her."

He is the only one left of the Inquisitors.

"So sometimes it's not clear whether I was affected by that moment of emotion or not." Lu Yizhan smiles apologetically, "After all, it's hard enough for a loser like me to beat Bai six, one moment of emotional turmoil is enough for me to lose."

Cen Buming also fell silent, then suddenly said coldly, "I'm taking a day off to accompany you to Fang Dian in this world line."

Lu Yizhan's pupils quake: "What?!"

"Emotional choices, that kind of thing." Cen Buming gives Lu Yizhan a cold look, "You'll understand when you see it, won't you?"

Day 2.

Even though Lu Yizhan was reluctant, Cen Buming dragged him out.

"Team Fang in this world is still in high school, in her senior year, and has a boyfriend. Cen Buming in a flat tone describes the gossip he has inquired about, " Team Fang chased someone else, her boyfriend is a schoolboy, a famous high school girl, she chased him for two months after falling in love at first sight, he didn't say yes and then gave up."

"Aren't you supposed to be studying in your senior year! Why fall in love?" Lu Yizhan held back and held back, but couldn't help but answer, "It's how handsome he is that he can make her chase him for two months."

"And didn't she give up, so why did she end up being her boyfriend!"

Cen Buming gave Lu Yizhan a sidelong glance: "Because he's starting to fall in love."

"The other party seemed to come to her senses and realised that she was in love with Team Fang, put down all her pretensions and pursued her frantically for four months. Before the second module, Fang Dian let go and said she could try if the other party could get similar grades as her in the second module, and the other party started studying frantically."

"The results came out and he was only ten points below Team Fang, the first place winner, so Fang Dian agreed."

Lu Yizhan: "......"

Damn it! Why the sudden awakening!

Lu Yizhan was pulled by Cen Buming up a hill near the school, and from the bottom of that hill, overlooking the playground inside the high school.

Cen Buming hugged his chest and introduced coldly, "I asked around about their class schedule and the next class is PE, you should see Team Fang here."

As soon as the bell rang, Lu Yizhan's back tightened up.

He saw Fang Dian, tied in a high ponytail, wearing a fitted white T and gym shorts, white socks that rose a notch above her sneakers, a volleyball in her hand and a sunny, bright smile.

Lu Yizhan looks on without moving a muscle, without taking his eyes off the ground.

--It's a smiling Fang Dian.

Fang Dian was walking down the steps when someone seemed to call her name from the playground, she looked back, her ponytail swishing in the air in a brisk arc, she seemed to see someone, the smile on her face widened and she handed the volleyball in her hand to the person next to her, her mouth seemed to be responding to that person.

She ran up and jumped down the high steps in three steps, smiling and opening her arms.

Lu Yizhan subconsciously, almost simultaneously with the man standing at the bottom of the steps, opened his arms and took a step forward.

Fang Dian falls into the arms of another person.

She smiled a happy and sweet smile and embraced the boy, who had only a back, before being lifted high and spun around.

Lu Yizhan slowly lowered his open hands as he stared blankly at Fang Dian.

Cen Buming calmly asks, "What does it feel like? Jealousy so painful that it makes you want to lose the game?"

"It's jealous." Lu Yizhan's voice was calm and he smiled, a faint light shimmering in his eyes, "But she is happy."

"Seeing her happy brings me more happiness than the pain that comes from jealousy."

Lu Yizhan turned his head, "Go back."

His gaze became steely again, "-even if I'm the only one left, I'll go on."

"Brother." Lu Yizhan was walking forward when he heard Cen Buming call out abruptly behind him, his voice very shallow, "You won't be alone, I'll be with you until the last world line."

"Until then, no matter what, I won't admit defeat to Bai six."

Lu Yizhan smiled and turned back, "Well, thank you in advance here, hunter friend."

Cen Buming looked at the tear stains on Lu Yizhan's face for a moment and snorted, "The prophet cries at every turn, so you do have to rely on the hunter."

"Don't laugh at me. ......" Lu Yizhan wiped his face helplessly and muttered in a small voice, "Anyone in this situation has to cry, right?"
