Chapter 682 The Last Hope
Chapter 682 The Last Hope
At the beginning of the universe, there were three seeds.
And when the seed of remembrance no longer remembers, the basic rules of the universe's operation will be completely overturned, and when the final moment of the end comes, there will be no chance to restart.
When the universe's final means of self-defense is destroyed, the final reincarnation will come.
For the first time, a color other than pure white appeared in the pure white world. That touch of gorgeous light pink was like a newborn flower stamen, full of endless vitality and future.
"I am high above you."
"I'm here to see you."
Blinking her pale blue eyes slightly, Annie stood in the center of the pure white world, staring at the extremely familiar figure.
The silver-white hair that was so familiar that it now seemed strange, and the same azure eyes as always, that was her original self, and also the original appearance of all Annies.
There is no emotion, just the emptiness of following rules.
Annie frowned her pretty eyebrows slightly and walked towards Mingji step by step, "You look really annoying..." The expression was exactly the same as when she first met An Ming.
"twenty three..."
“You should return the authority.”
For the first time, a hint of "unhappiness" appeared in Mingji's eyes. That was clearly his authority, but it was taken away by Aini in front of him and became a star god.
Although there is still a lot (half) of memory authority in it, what does that have to do with Him?
Fu Li: “I have no objection”
"Xiao Ming, why do you think I came to see you?" Annie leaned forward slightly, her cherry-pink hair brushing against Mingji's cheek, and a hint of cunning flashed between her pale blue eyes.
As expected, I can't help but bully this guy a little bit... After all, the Seed of Memory itself is a clumsy rule enforcer. Compared with Annie today, it is indeed much more clumsy in terms of the art of negotiation.
"twenty three..."
"stop."
Ai Ni pinched Ming Ji's cheeks with both hands, looked at his face which still had no expression, and said to him sincerely, "Lend me your authority for a moment."
Remember: "O.0?"
He looked at Annie in confusion, as if he couldn't understand the logic behind it.
"Think about it, I am a part of you, I am you, so your authority is my authority," Annie looked at Mingji with a smile, her eyes full of "sincerity".
"I don't understand."
Mingji slapped Aini's hand away, his face still calm, but his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "Authority is the way the universe enforces rules. We should have fulfilled our responsibilities... Did I do something wrong?"
His chest rose and fell slightly, clearly showing more "emotion" than at the beginning. Ever since Annie came to this pure white world, He had been thinking.
Why did everyone choose to leave Him?
But He was just...doing His duty.
An incomprehensible emotion spread in my chest, a little sour, but incomprehensible.
But of course Annie knew.
"That emotion is called 'grievance'."
Aini gently stroked Mingji's silver hair and said, "You are not wrong, and neither are we. It's only this world that is wrong."
"I don't understand..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It took me five years to gradually understand what love is. There is still a lot of time left for you and for us."
Aini smiled gently, "The universe has countless opportunities to restart, but An Ming only has one."
"Xiao Ming, I need you."
Looking at Annie's pale blue eyes, Mingji realized that he had fallen into the other party's logic without knowing when. As one of the most basic rules for the operation of the universe, he quickly returned to his normal thinking mode after detaching himself from his emotions.
"Correction, I don't have a name. I am just a conscious being that remembers the rules."
"And you... the ripple born from memory, have no right to touch the core rules and authority."
Remembering that cold expression, he took a half step back and said, "The name 'Anming Star God' is really ugly."
He also knew that the third point was a smuggled suggestion, but he couldn't help but want to complain. Although he was not a star god, he also knew the gods who were born from the rules of the universe.
Their names are all very impressive names of star gods like [Protector], [Abundance], [Immortality], etc. Even just hearing them makes you feel that they are very powerful.
But what does this [Anming] Star God mean?
Mingji really couldn't stand such a name. He even wanted to beg Aini to change his name. It didn't matter if he was not called Mingji Star God. Calling him Aini Star God would sound much better.
"Xiao Ming," Annie's fingertips caressed a strand of cherry-pink hair on her wrist, her voice gentle but serious: "You should also know that the name of Star God and the fate it controls are intertwined like roots and a giant tree, and the reason I can become a Star God is because An Ming used his entire existence as firewood to ignite the spark that lifted me to this point."
When she mentioned An Ming's name, the tenderness in her eyes turned into firmness. Of course, what Ming Ji said was right, and there was no problem in saying that it was the Star God Aini.
The opportunity for her birth was a miracle in itself.
Half is the eternal and shining spark ignited by An Ming's burning soul, hot and tragic.
The other half is the countless "Annies" in the world who choose their own future, and their desires and futures that converge like the rushing rivers of stars after breaking free from their fate.
The interweaving and resonance of the two ultimately created [Aini] who is standing on the path of destiny at this moment.
As for the limit of power...Aini lowered her eyes slightly. To her, becoming a star god was a dream that was more ethereal than a fairy tale.
In those trivial happy times with An Ming, how could she have ever imagined such a distant future? At that time, every minute and every second with An Ming was more precious than the power of the whole world.
Now she has become a star god, but she has also lost everything.
But the word "give up" never appeared in her mind.
An Ming used his last spark to buy her the possibility of a happy future. How could she stand still?
What if the soul completely dissipated? As long as the authority of "Remember" is still in her hands, all the memories and traces of existence in the vast universe from ancient times to the present are controlled by her.
This is Annie's only reliance. She will use this authority as the final anchor to touch the forbidden rules that reverse life and death and bring An Ming back from the abyss of absolute nothingness in her mind.
For this...even if it means overturning the iron law of life and death that keeps the universe running! Even if it means shaking the ultimate rules that build the foundation of the universe!
She doesn't hesitate!
At this moment, Mingji finally realized clearly that he had completely misjudged Aini's determination.
Annie didn't come here just for simple negotiations.
It is a declaration, but also a seizure.
Annie will seize the world's rule called remembrance with her own hands and use it as the basis to save her lover.
There is no possibility of this.
Even if the ripples grow into tsunamis, they cannot shake the sky. Remembering is just incomprehensible.
Just as He said before.
He doesn't understand.
"You should also be aware that the soul of 'An Ming' you mentioned has completely vanished, and his life has long been completely annihilated from the universe."
"This is the inevitability of life and death in the universe. You cannot change it."
Remembering tells the simplest fact, just like "when a person is killed, he will die". It is such a simple truth. He cannot understand why Aini would give so much for a dead person.
“You won’t succeed if you don’t do it.”
Annie suddenly revealed a sad smile. At the beginning, no one believed that An Ming could reach the end of the long staircase of memory as a mortal.
If you don't do it, miracles won't happen.
"The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is born on the premise of 'absolute impossibility'! If you don't do it...if you don't try your best, there will never be a 'miracle' in this world!"
After a long silence, as if time itself had stopped.
"I promise you."
"But...I want to see it with my own eyes."
Mingji's words were extremely calm, but they gave Annie hope. With Mingji's help, perhaps Anming's soul could really be rebuilt.
"Thank you, Xiaoming."
"No need to thank me," Mingji's cold expression remained unchanged, but there was some thought in the depths of his eyes.
The memories that Annie experienced are obviously as ordinary as other memories, and even seem so insignificant among all memories. However, it is such ordinary memories that are so brilliant.
Is the emotion contained therein the so-called "love"?
Mingji still couldn't understand, but now he wanted to understand that incomprehensible feeling.
How good is the person that Annie is willing to save even at the cost of everything?
Mingji slowly spread out his palms, and a transparent crystal core that was extremely pure and could contain all the starlight and dust in the universe condensed from the void.
That is the manifestation of the core of the authority of Remembering - [Seed of Remembering].
The symbol of authority that appeared since the birth of the universe is also one of the supreme authorities that maintains the operation of the universe.
At this moment, one of the cornerstones that maintain the operation of the universe is displayed in front of Annie without reservation. The light of the crystal is cold and dazzling. It is the rule itself and Annie's only hope to save An Ming.
Annie took the crystal that symbolized the rules of the universe from Mingji's palm. The moment her fingertips touched it, it seemed as if all the memories of the universe flooded into her mind. That huge torrent of memories could even completely submerge a person.
The rise and fall of countless civilizations, the life and death of tens of thousands of stars, and billions of years of memory suddenly burst their banks.
The seed of memory that carries the memory of the entire universe, this is the responsibility that memory has always carried.
But only in this way will she have the chance to find fragments of An Ming's soul from the countless corners of her memories. Just a little bit...even just a piece, she can use it to reshape An Ming's soul.
The reason why Annie is confident in searching within the entire universe's memory is because An Ming himself is a special existence in the universe. He is not from this universe, so the soul fragments will not merge... but sink to the bottom of the abyss.
As long as you head towards the end of countless memories, you will be able to touch the soul fragments left by An Ming.
Annie didn't know if she could throw all her consciousness into the deep ocean of memory of the entire universe, nor did she have the confidence that she could return safely after it was over.
Annie condensed all her consciousness into the most tenacious arrow, rushing upstream in the boundless darkness and the surging tide of memories!
She dived upstream in the surging ocean of memory, like the sharp edge of dawn that tears through the darkness and illuminates the dawn - she wanted to salvage the last remnants of An Ming's soul from the bottom of this vast abyss of memory!
down!
Going deeper——!
She poured all her consciousness, her entire existence, as well as her unforgettable love and longing for An Ming, into it, turning it into a fatal arrow that had no way back once it left the bow!
There may be no way back from this point on, and consciousness may sink forever, becoming a new speck of dust in this graveyard of memory.
But even if there is no hope, she will never let go! Even if the hope is as slim as a candle flickering in the wind.
A spark of light suddenly flashed before my eyes, just like a mirror reflecting the summer sun, emitting a momentary flash at the bottom of the solidified dark abyss.
That's it!
Ignoring the memory rock layers around her that were enough to crush her consciousness, Ai Ni burned her last bit of willpower and stretched out her hands with all her might towards that gentle glimmer of light.
Her fingertips penetrated the coldness of the endless darkness and tightly grasped the last fragment of the soul.
Faint, but still shining.
Annie suddenly opened her eyes, her face pale and she was gasping for breath. Even though she had become a star god, she was still as fragile as a speck of dust when facing the memories of the entire universe.
But fortunately, she still held on to the soul fragment that carried warm memories.
This is the last hope.
"I didn't hesitate to die, but all I brought back was a fragment of my soul."
Remembering is just stating the most basic fact: "With just this tiny fragment, do you want to reconstruct a completely annihilated soul?"
"It's not that I have to rely on this fragment to reshape..." Annie carefully protected the fragment in her palm and said softly, "As long as there is a little fragment, I can create an opportunity for the universe to exist safely again."
Life, memory, soul, will, existence - the cornerstones of a "person".
As long as we use this last fragment, we can create an ending where An Ming is still alive at the end of the universe's timeline.
This last fragment of the soul will be the anchor point and coordinate. As long as this trace still exists, it will be possible to forcibly open up a future that belongs exclusively to An Ming within the infinite timeline of the universe.
Mingji was right. If a person's soul disappears, it is true death. Using Mingji's authority to reverse the rules of life and death will destroy the restart node of the entire universe.
The price will be a doomsday scene that even "remembrance" itself cannot bear, and it will also be the final and final end of the universe.
"Instead of continuing this hopeless cycle, it is better to touch the opportunity for change," Annie understood that this was just an excuse. She just wanted to see An Ming and touch that smile with the warmth of the sun again.
She no longer hesitated!
In her palm, Aini held up the transparent white crystal that radiated the eternal light of the universe——【Seed of Remembrance】
In an instant, endless threads of light emerged and intertwined, and a river of memory as vast as the sea of stars rushed out and turned into a projection that unfolded in the air.
She will select the node that is most suitable for An Ming's rebirth from the vast memory, and then... bury the last spark.
-
I'll make up for it today!
