Chapter 1257: One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Four·"She is trapped by [Balance]."

The audience quickly understood the situation:
[So that's how it is! Su Mingan can cheat as long as he dies once! Being favored by the World Tree and becoming a member of the Rin tribe, how cool! ]

[Wait, what if the World Tree is lying? Su Mingan should not die rashly. ]

[Without Su Mingan, how can the World Tree protect Luo Vasa? What good is there in harming Su Mingan? ]

[What? It turns out that the plot we have seen so far has deviated by a huge margin...]

[I think I understand. Only Su Mingan who was born as a member of the Rin tribe is the protagonist, and Su Mingan who was born as Su Liujin is not.]

[Anyway, in our eyes, even if the number one player is not the protagonist favored by the World Tree, he will definitely win. ]

[I was wondering, if Su Mingan had never become a member of the Rin tribe, would the World Tree have given Lovasa a new male protagonist? I think the 2021 version of Edward would be very suitable...]

[NONONONO!! I don’t want a protagonist like this!!]

……

Beiwang lowered the brim of his hat and walked in the flames of the Vatican, with crows cry- ing over his shoulders.

His race is "Witch". This may sound strange, but compared with players whose races are "Emoji", "Bargainer" and "Note Clan", his race is considered normal.

Inspired by the Witch's Epic from the Tenth World, he began to write his own story and went to the Church to see if he could find an innocent person like Blackberry. But he suddenly heard a vague voice:

……

[Are you willing to become the hero of Luo Vasha? ]

[If you agree, please demonstrate your integrity, courage, perseverance, and selflessness in the next Disciple Game. ]

……

Bei Wang was stunned - was this the voice of the World Tree? Shouldn't this kind of thing happen to Su Ming'an? How could it happen to someone else?

The protagonist of Luo Washa...Su Mingan is obviously more suitable.

The eleventh world is currently the largest battlefield. Everyone gathers together and there is a possibility of ascending to a higher dimension. It can be expected that many unwilling perfect players will not miss the opportunity to compete for the protagonist.

……

Mizushima Kawaseong was standing outside the laboratory. An undead with a broad frame, dressed in purple velvet and wearing a half-face mask was tinkering with potion. It was none other than Xiting, the Lord of the Undead.

The Lord of the Dead is obsessed with researching resurrection medicine, reportedly for the purpose of resurrecting an old friend. Mizushima Kawai used his insights into scientific research to become the Lord of the Dead's right-hand man.

At this moment, Mizushima Kawaseong's ears moved, and he heard a voice that suddenly rang beside his ears:
……

[Are you willing to become the heroine of Luowasha? ]

[If you agree, please demonstrate your integrity, courage, perseverance, and selflessness in the next Disciple Game. ]

……

"Why is it my turn..." Surprise flashed in her eyes.

Regardless, she would certainly be willing to do it if given the chance.

"I do." she said immediately.

……

At the same time, Yamada Machiichi, Lu Shu, Noel, Alande, Su Shi, Meiyani, Miao Wen, Joey... most of the powerful players heard the invitation of the World Tree.

"It's actually my turn?"

"Such a good opportunity?"

Some are ready to go, some are confused, some are excited, some are scared and resist...but there is one exception.

Su Lin.

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Su Lin came under the tree with a sword in hand and looked up at the branches of the World Tree that blocked out the sun.

"A tree is easy to find." Su Lin looked at the branches of the World Tree and said, "Tell me, where is the Supreme Lord?"

From the tall body of the World Tree, came an indistinct voice, like a human voice, but also like a machine: "Are you willing to become the hero of Luowasha, enjoy the supreme role, execute the wonderful plot, and write the perfect story..."

Listening to the voice of the World Tree, Su Lin remained unmoved and said calmly:
"I don't want to."

The World Tree was silent for a few seconds, as if it had been thinking for a while before asking:
"Er Ke is willing to be the heroine of Luo Vasha, enjoy the supreme role, execute the wonderful plot, and write the perfect story..."

"I don't want to." Su Lin's face darkened for a moment, and he pointed his sword at the World Tree:
"You want to be the Demon King, use Rovatha as your stage, and make the protagonist a puppet, but I don't want to be your hero - let me ask you again, where is the Supreme Lord?"

He raised his sword and flames leaped up.

The branches and leaves of the trees in the world rustled, and seemed to make a sound.

……

Su Ming'an was shocked by Xili's words, but everyone thought that Xili was just talking nonsense.

"World Lord, please make a decision as soon as possible to kill the previous generation of the Lin tribe." Lubert cupped his hands, then looked at Shirley with a compassionate attitude: "Please also ask the previous generation of the Lin tribe to consider the overall situation and return to the World Tree as soon as possible. I think you don't want to see Luowasha fall to her death because of you."

Ashley looked back indifferently. Although she didn't care about life or death, she found the faces of these people ridiculous.

"Shh!"

this moment,
The sound of glass breaking suddenly occurred.

Diagonally below, a crystal-like long sword suddenly broke through the window and headed straight for the Lord of the World.

The Lord dodged immediately, and the sword just scraped the cloth on his chest.

At the same time, a girl with long flowing pink hair broke in through the window, with a terrifying momentum. She shook her wrist and the long sword returned to her hand.

“Who is this…?” The hall was in chaos.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

"Run away!"

Su Mingan didn't expect that the pursuer would come again, even though the Lord of the World hadn't said anything profound in this week.

Unexpectedly, the pursuer did not chase the World Lord, but looked at Su Mingan.

As they stared at each other, Su Mingan finally saw clearly her eyes—divine, emotionless, inorganic eyes. Although she had pink hair, her face was very different from Pudding's, and they were not the same person.

She is……

One of the six players at the beginning, the pink-haired girl squatting in the corner - Xiaobai. She is also the one with the difficulty of "nightmare" among the six players.

"kill."

Short words came out of her mouth, and she raised her wrist high, pointing it at Su Mingan.

Su Mingan suddenly realized that she should be a member of the World Tree, responsible for clearing the unstable factors in Luowasha, such as the World Master who revealed important information in the previous round. Now she wants to kill Su Mingan and help him reincarnate into the Rin tribe.

But she didn't know that even if he died, he couldn't be reincarnated into the Rin clan.

"Wait a minute." Su Mingan said, "Pursuer, can you talk to me?"

Xiaobai looked at him indifferently.

"Who are you?" Su Mingan said.

"【Heroine】." Xiaobai's answer was beyond Su Mingan's expectations.

"Isn't the [heroine] Pudding?" Su Ming'an asked in surprise.

Xiao Bai closed his eyes and concentrated, saying calmly: "It's just Luo Vasa's [Balancing Principle]."

With just a few words, Su Mingan was shocked by this principle.

——If you regard Luowasha as a game, then there is a strange [balancing principle] in everything.

If Su Liujin is the [male protagonist], then Pudding, who takes him to ride the cat car, watch the big banana, and go for divination, becomes the [female protagonist].

If Su Mingan of the Lin tribe is the [male protagonist], he is born to enjoy the attention of the people and the favor of the world tree, and the pudding of Princess Hongta is "unworthy", so Xiaobai, a powerful person who maintains order, should be the [female protagonist]. This is in line with the principle of balancing, and it will not be seen as "the female protagonist cannot keep up with the male protagonist".

Considering it from another angle, if Mizushima Kawai Sora is the [female protagonist], then Su Mingan, who has a grudge against her, can no longer be the [male protagonist]. Instead, Bai Ran, who is traveling with her, should be the [male protagonist]. This would be more fitting and in line with the balancing principle.

After hearing this balancing principle, Su Mingan felt strongly disgusted and incredible - why is balancing necessary?

Why does choosing one person as the protagonist negate the independent value of the other protagonist, making the latter a vassal of the former and following the former's positioning in everything?

Why must there be such a connection between the two? Once the two originally independent protagonists come into contact, one of them will have his soul wiped out?

He began to understand why Hui Mo wanted to kill the World Tree. The World Tree could set such rules and should indeed be hated.

He raised his head, looked at Xiaobai, and said:

"You don't have to help me reincarnate into the Rin clan."

"I voluntarily give up being the protagonist of the World Tree."

……

He could feel that even if he became the [protagonist], he would only become a puppet in the story, being controlled by the World Tree.

He wanted to… create his own script.

Only then can we explore the most fundamental secret of Luowasha.

Even if this story deviates from the main plot, does not meet the expectations of the World Tree, and is not liked by the public.

The conversation with Si Que gave him a premonition: [Only by writing what he really wants to write can he truly change Luo Vasa. Simply catering to the tastes of the World Tree and streamlining the script can only win the public's love, but cannot change the future.]

Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, seemingly unable to understand him. The title of "protagonist" that everyone in the world was fighting for was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"Only by becoming a member of the Rin tribe can you better save the world." Xiaobai said.

Su Mingan's reply was extremely powerful:
"——But is the World Tree really meant to save the world?"

Xiaobai's pupils dilated.

The hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Su Mingan, unable to believe that he had said such a treasonous thing.

At the same time, Su Mingan's words seemed to touch something, and a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female rang out in his heart -

……

[Yes, yes, that’s it. 】

[You finally started to think about this - is the World Tree really doing this to save the world? ]

[Or in other words——does it have to be saved? ]

[You have done this before in Praia, in the world of ruins, in the old world...]

[——[Su Mingan was born into the world as a member of the Lin tribe and was revered by all. He led Luowasha to resist the civilization outside the world, sealed the God of the End of All Things, stopped the invasion of demons, and made Luowasha prosperous. During this period, he made friends along the way, bid farewell to his comrades, and staged an epic story.]... This is the plot that should have happened, and it is also in line with the consistent trend of the world game.]

[But is there a possibility... in Luowasha, this universally happy trend is not the truth? ]

[Don't you want to see a new possibility? A possibility that is not "by the book"? A possibility that does not follow the savior's script? ]

[A possibility of... your own "story"? ]

【mine……】

[“Mr. Savior?” 】

……

Although the voice did not say who it was, Su Mingan vaguely guessed it.

The voice that whispered to him was——

The god of the end of all things.

……
