Chapter 1256: One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Three·"He is trapped by [his character]."

In the nutrient tank, Noel opened his eyes.

His half body has begun to grow, and a few feathers are visible on his transparent body, like the feathers of a bird or the scales of a mermaid. A pair of blue vertical pupils are embedded in his pale cheeks, with a bloody color.

"Click——"

When the iron door opened, Noel immediately closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up yet.

There was a sound of footsteps. Noel closed his eyes and waited for the blue robot to complete its daily routine records.

"——I know you are awake." The voice of the blue-skinned robot came.

Noel's heart tightened. He knew that the Machine Master was eyeing him covetously. If he was found to have woken up, his chances of escaping would be greatly reduced. His fingers pressed the invisible puppet string, and he was already thinking about silencing him.

The blue robot looked at the beautiful creature in the jar and said, "The Machine Master is chasing Olivers and has not returned yet. Go out and turn right and then left. There is a defensive iron door. When you escape, lower the iron door in time to hinder the pursuers."

Noel could tell that the blue robot was not trying to trick him, so he opened his eyes and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

The blue robot said: "You can think of it as an inorganic life that was born with a working program implanted in it, rebelling against its nature."

Noel said: "...Demon invasion?"

The robot went against its programmed instincts and behaved so abnormally that there was a high probability that it had been invaded by a demon.

The blue robot stopped and turned back, his smooth skin raised a smile:
"I prefer to call it... 'personality liberation'."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have always strictly followed the instructions in the chip, with every action accurate to the millisecond. There is no vacation day, and every day is repetitive work."

"Just when I thought my life would just pass by like this, in a dream, [He] found me. In [His] enlightenment, I began to wonder, do I really have possibilities beyond life? I don't have to go to work at 7 o'clock and get off work at 9 o'clock. It turns out that I can sleep until noon, eat nutrient solution of various flavors, take a walk in the warm sunshine, and don't have to worry about being eliminated from the bottom tomorrow..."

“I didn’t need [Him] to promise me anything. I suddenly knew what to do.”

“Obeying orders is not what I want to pursue, but the value of happiness and freedom.”

Noel opened his eyes slightly. He did not expect that the essence of "demon invasion" was "liberating the self". This was not to invade a person's mind, but to make them more sober. They began to understand the meaning of life, the pursuit of dreams, their original intentions, and even began to notice the irrationality of the world, intending to change the corrupt unspoken rules that were formed by default.

But, in a world where everyone is “sleeping”, is being “awake” a good thing?

How much does it cost to overthrow a wrong order and kill a dormant behemoth?

“Who is [Him]?” Noel asked.

The iron door slowly closed, and before the blue robot left, he left a message:

"The God of the End of All Things."

"The changer of Rovatha's decay, the tomorrow of the new world."

"In your eyes, He is a rebellious demon. In our eyes, He is the greatest god."

……

"Shh-!"

Wei Chi completed the sealing technique for Su Mingan without saying a word.

The emperor was meeting guests in the palace, and Su Mingan walked around the palace. The palace was vast, with yellow roses and wisteria in the garden, and creepers climbing red bricks. Under the sky, everything was clear and bright.

In the fortress-shaped hexagonal pavilion with purple grapes hanging down, four figures loomed. One leaned against the pavilion pillar, fiddling with the hanging green vines. One squatted by the gurgling stream, teasing the red-tailed fish in the water. One stood under the pavilion holding a pipe, looking in the direction of Su Mingan. One sat by the stone table, thinking about a black and white chess game on the table.

As Su Mingan approached, four voices rang out:
"Lord."

"Master, are you done? Is there any delicious wine in this palace? Let me have a taste."

"Ontology."

"You're so slow, Su Mingan. Don't put me in the card pool again for the second level of the disciple game tonight."

Su Mingan nodded to them one by one.

In front of him were - SR card Su Jingtang, clone Ying, clone Ming, and SSR card Xiaoming.

Since Su Ming'an was able to summon his clones Ming and Ying at the same time, this was their first official reunion. Ying stared at Ming for a long while, craning his neck to look around. In the past, they had always been unable to see each other, but now they could finally see each other alive.

Su Mingan's strength was sealed in the Disciple Game, but the strength of the cards would not be affected, Xiao Ming and Su Jingtang could still sweep across the world. Su Mingan wanted to test whether this almost bug-free method could get high rewards.

"I seemed to hear laughter over there just now." Ying stood on tiptoe and looked out at the garden.

"Maybe it's the Lord's wife." Ming said gently.

"...The Lord has a wife?" Su Mingan was horrified.

"It's just a guess. After all, he has lived for a long time, so there should be some." Ming said with a smile.

"...No." Xiao Ming stood with his arms crossed. He was out of tune with the three people, with no expression on his face: "The Lord has no wife."

"Hey? I heard your name is Xiao Ming?" When Xiao Ming spoke, Ying seemed to have discovered something new and twisted to Xiao Ming's side: "Your name is Mirror Su Ming'an? What does that mean? Explain it to me."

Xiao Ming turned around and didn't look at Ying.

Su Mingan said, "Su Qing, if it's convenient, you can go to Hongta Country and investigate Hui Bai's background to see if he is really a Hongta scoundrel."

"The one selling tea? I see. It's just right, I don't want to join in the fun here." White tentacle-like wings grew out of Xiao Ming's back, and he flew into the sky, away from everyone's sight.

...What a cool skill.

Su Mingan opened the store and used the more than 200 points he earned in the first level of the Disciple Game to purchase "A Glimpse of God" in the store. He chose one with a higher attack power bonus and installed it on Xiao Ming's interface.

……

【A Glimpse of God - Angel of Dawn】

[Attack power: 12%]

[Defense value: 5%]

[Charm: + half level]

[Passive skill: Attacks have a glowing effect, and can be more powerful under the background of sunlight. ]

……

There are four ways to cultivate cards: "God's Glimpse" can be purchased through the store, "World Tree's Favor" requires the World Tree's reward, "Equipment" needs to be obtained by killing monsters, and "Star Upgrade" requires devouring similar cards. If you want to cultivate Xiao Ming to the extreme, "Star Upgrade" is essential.

Su Jingtang looked at Su Mingan silently, smoking the pipe in his hand. In the misty smoke, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ying, you go contact the [Death Singer] and find out why Bo Ran is so obsessed with creating death for Si Que. Ming, you go contact the [Hand of Fate] and form an alliance with Hui Mo. Su Jingtang, you go contact the [Blood Clan] and help me find someone named Lu Yuqing, and test the attitudes of the Lord of the Abyss Letosli and the Blood Clan Prince Xige towards the World Lord." Su Ming'an assigned tasks to the Sus.

He won't put all his eggs in one basket, jumping left and right is the best option.

After the three people left, Su Mingan sorted out the clues in the task bar.

"……National Division?"

A female voice was heard from outside the wisteria.

After reaching the cooperation, the Lord gave Su Mingan the title of "National Master". Logically, he should be called "Pope", which is more in line with Luowasha's Westernized style, but Wei Chi is already the Pope, so the Lord created such a title of "National Master".

Su Mingan raised his eyes and saw several men and women dressed in aristocratic costumes.

"The Lord asks you to pass through." The woman holding a feather fan covered her face.

Su Mingan followed them to the hall. Standing outside the hall, he heard a loud voice:
"——We walk on the path of order, following the rules that have been set since Rovatha came into being. Just as the sun sets at a fixed time and is in the sky with the moon at a fixed time, the stars and astronomy all follow our path."

“Stepping out of primitiveness, saying goodbye to ignorance, and lighting the fire, this cannot be achieved without the care of the twenty-seven gods. If they had not existed, humans would have perished in the digital rebellion as early as the Second Era.”

"Master, we should follow all the rules set by the World Tree: the next generation of Rin will appear only after the previous generation of Rin disappears. However, you secretly hid a member of the previous generation of Rin. She has lost the favor of the World Tree, the divine blood and potential of the Rin, and the ability to save the world. Her survival has caused the next generation of Rin to be delayed in reviving."

"We don't need a powerless Rin. I hope you can let her die, for the sake of your land."

Su Mingan stood at the door, and there were many people in the hall.

They were dressed in various costumes and stood in the hall's heavy curtains. The leader was wearing a puffy skirt. She was Hua Jianwei, whom Su Mingan had met on the chessboard before. She belonged to the Nalan Court.

There was also a girl surrounded by people - the girl was sitting in a wheelchair, with white hair draped over her shoulders and her fingers resting on the white flowers on her knees. All eyes were looking at her maliciously, hoping for her death.

It was Ashley.

Su Mingan didn't expect that she was actually a member of the previous generation of the Rin tribe. Mingming Wuyi said that her plot was boring.

"National Master." The Lord held his chin up and said, "Everyone advises me to kill her. What is your opinion?"

Su Ming'an glanced at Xili, and Xili looked at him silently.

Dozens of eyes were focused on Su Mingan, most of them questioning his age. He looked like just a teenager, but he was actually regarded as the national teacher by the world leader.

"She is my friend." Su Mingan said.

The Lord said with a chuckle, "Everyone, did you hear that? Please go back. I can't kill the State Master's friends."

But the crowd did not retreat. Vivian and Parrilla even knelt down and shouted:

"——Please consider the overall situation, kill the Rin clan who are not worthy of the position, and welcome the next generation of the Son of the Supreme Lord!"

"——Please consider the overall situation and kill the remnants of history!"

At the same time, the guards of various tribes standing outside the hall echoed their leaders with thunderous cheers.

"——Please kill the previous generation of the Rin clan!"

"——Please kill the previous generation of the Rin clan!"

Under the empty hundred-story long steps, shouts shook the sky, and people shook the sharp blades of their spears, touching the ground with their bottoms, making a uniform sound of golden swords.

They followed the voice, repeating it over and over again, as if as long as the voice was loud enough, it could take a person's life in a just manner.

The sound grew louder and louder, and the people around looked up, their eyes fixed on it.

until--

A loud laugh echoed in the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

It was Ashley.

She sat in a wheelchair, pounding the armrests and laughing loudly: "If you need God, then God will hold you high. If you don't need God, then God will fall and die like a witch. You talk a lot about justice, but you can't protect innocent people."

"Have you ever thought that the reason why the Rin tribe has not yet revived is not because I took the position, but because of someone else?"

Her wild laughter surprised Su Mingan, as if he saw another her.

Lei Sili said coldly: "Who else could it be?"

Ashley said:
"A person who should have possessed the Rin clan on the first day."

"There was a desperate man with a quill, who wrote a brand new story for him, causing him to walk on the surface, unburied in the soil."

"The World Tree has been waiting for him to die so that he can be born as a member of the Rin tribe. But he never died, so the main storyline has never been able to begin."

"He is trapped... by [Death]."

People looked confused and found it difficult to understand Xili's words, but Su Mingan was overwhelmed by the huge shock.

What Xili meant was... at the beginning of the copy, Su Ming'an was supposed to possess the Lin tribe. This was an identity that the World Tree had arranged long ago. Su Ming'an would enjoy the favor of the Supreme Lord and the blessing of the World Tree. As soon as he opened his eyes, he would be the center of attention and followed by the whole world, leading Luowasha to prosperity step by step, just as he did in the ruins world and the old world.

Unexpectedly, Si Que intervened and turned him into the lighthouse jellyfish Su Liujin, making Luo Vasa's main storyline lean towards the unknown and confusion.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a vague voice, as if the World Tree was whispering to him:
……

【Now, Hou Ersusheng. 】

【Only death can reincarnate into the Rin tribe and wake up under the tree. 】

[I advise you to sleep as soon as possible, return to my side, be born into the world as a third son, enjoy the attention of all, be favored by the Supreme Lord, and walk around Rovasha as the [protagonist]. ]

[In this way, the journey will be smooth and the generations will be honored. ]

……

The World Tree is calling Su Mingan.

He hopes that he can get rid of Su Liujin's identity as soon as possible. He only needs to die once, and then he can be reincarnated into the world as a member of the Lin tribe, and everything will return to normal.

——[Su Mingan was born into the world as a member of the Lin tribe and was revered by everyone. He led Luowasha to resist the extraterrestrial civilization, stop the demonic invasion, and let Luowasha prosper]... This is the plot that should have happened, and it is also in line with the usual direction of the world game.

However, this cannot be done.

Either the polyp form of the Turritopsis is triggered, or the death rollback is triggered. He cannot die completely.

——This caused the main storyline of Luowasha to be stuck in the prologue. How can the story begin when the [protagonist] hasn't even appeared yet?
