Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 844 - 842: "Sugar (4)

"Ninth World simulation viewing, Lin Guang’s Rose Garden! Simulated one-to-one according to the Ruined World landscape, guaranteed to be identical to the entity. Those interested, come take a look!"

At this moment, a loud shout interrupted Su Ming’an’s thoughts.

He looked up—

In the central area of the botanical garden, there was unexpectedly a rose garden. The petals layered upon each other, the delicate red leaves scattered all around, resembling a solidified red sea.

Visitors showed great interest, with crowds gathering much more than outside the botanical garden.

"Mom, I want to see!" a child shouted.

"Come on, let’s take a look. I really want to see what the garden in the Ruined World looks like..."

"There’s really a one-to-one fountain! Look at this rainbow light and the white bird on the warm yellow street lamp, exactly like we saw on the livestream screen..."

The air was filled with noise and clamor.

Looking in the direction of the people, there indeed was a small villa at the end of the rose garden, with thousands of paintings hanging inside the hall—this was an exact replica of Lin Guang’s villa that had not yet been burned, allowing it to reappear here.

But upon seeing this scene, Su Ming’an clenched his fists.

"Let’s leave here." Lin Yin decided decisively. She understood human beings’ admiration for entertainment and also knew that this kind of replication was an inevitable activity after each instance ended. There are too many players who dare not take the field, who come to this kind of simulated replica places to experience the world through the live broadcast lens.

For Casual Players, this is just an entertainment activity. But for top-ranking players like them, this scene becomes particularly glaring—people turn the places where they once fought desperately into tourist check-in spots.

"Let’s go." Luna immediately turned around.

"Let’s go, let’s go, we still have the last stop, don’t look, bad mood." Noel tapped Su Ming’an’s shoulder, urging him not to look at those people.

As they passed by the crowd, they heard several voices.

"Mom, I want that painting, can I buy it?" A little girl looked up at one of the paintings hung from the villa—an exquisite landscape painting, under a lush ginkgo tree, a fluffy white Samoyed quietly lay, its eyes gazing into the distance, seemingly looking at the distant fields and wheat ears.

"Let’s go and ask the price, it’s your birthday today, mom will buy it for you." Her mom took her hand.

"Great, I’m going to show off with this painting!" The little girl was overjoyed.

"Hey, this figurine is nice too, it seems to be an exact replica of the Ruined World’s ’First Bouquet of Spring Lilies.’ It was a gift from Spring to Acto, you see, it looks just like in the livestream." A couple passed by a glass display case placed outside the garden, seeing the lilies made with soft pottery.

"Xiao Dai, I want to buy it, consider it as you gifting me ’the First Bouquet of Spring Lilies.’" The girl said sweetly.

"Alright, I’ll buy it right now..." The boy scratched his head. freewebnoveℓ.com

Su Ming’an listened to these voices, gradually clenching his fists tighter.

"...Do you feel it’s not worth it?" Noel softly asked in his ear.

"Hmm?"

Noel said: "Is it disheartening? Everything shown by the Ruined World, its resilience, tenacity, decisiveness, sacrifice, is seen by some as just a commercial opportunity to make money. The drawings left by Lin Guang stroke by stroke were also copied for low-priced sale. ’The First Bouquet of Spring Lilies,’ flowers dyed with Kylstia’s blood, are merely romantic interests between couples in their eyes."

"...I don’t care about them." Su Ming’an said.

Most of those appearing here are Casual Players. True heroes are mostly preparing for the next instance and wouldn’t use points to buy figures.

He won’t judge these people in the name of justice. This world has people who value entertainment above all, as well as people like Lv Shu and Noel. He won’t blindly think all are unworthy of salvation. The generous gifts of destiny will eventually result in corresponding punishments; these people will pay the price a year later.

As he walked out, the sounds around him grew increasingly grating.

"...This Noah figurine looks nice, should I collect all Nine Thrones? It would look great together."

"... Xiao Li, how about I buy you an acre of roses? I could also prepare a city’s spring for you."

"...I want a Su Xiaobi motorcycle, to ride it on the road and make my brother envy me."

"...Wow, Lin Guang’s paintings are really beautiful, I want to feed them all to AI..."

Su Ming’an pushed through the crowd, the sounds around him becoming more piercing, making him frown and clench his fist.

Luna and the others beside him also showed tense veins, taking deep breaths.

"Boom——!!!"

Suddenly, the sky let out a thunderous sound.

A sharp cry came from behind, the crowd suddenly became chaotic, as if something terrifying had happened.

When Su Ming’an turned around—

In the sky, blinding flames shone like thunder, as if it was a deity in the sky piercing down with a sword forged from fire, directly from the clouds into the mortal world.

The villa standing quietly among the rose bushes was burned through by the sudden flames in the middle, resembling a crimson great sword cleaving from the heavens to the mortal world, accompanied by a rumbling noise, the villa bricks collapsed and scattered with the wave of flames.

"Ahhh——!" All at once, screams echoed everywhere. People covered their heads and fled like startled mice, those who didn’t escape the villa were instantly buried by its collapse.

"What’s going on!"

"Who struck a sword in the sky and shattered the villa!!"

"Fire! It’s all fire! Run!!"

"Rumble——!"

The blood-red roses were burned through by the rapidly spreading flames, couples strolling through the flowers were frightened, scrambling to escape, leading to many tragic scenes where they only cared about running, completely ignoring their partners.

In the Main God World, "direct damage" is prohibited, the flames cannot kill, nor can the collapsed villa crush anyone, but this fiery sword cleaving from the heavens threw people into chaos.

Su Ming’an watched this scene in surprise. This sword was not done by him, nor by Eni. Although such an act is satisfying, if the Number One Player did such a thing, it would only further widen the gap between Casual Players and Adventurer Players, causing more internal conflict.

He looked up, seeing faintly a figure amidst the clouds, with golden-red flames surging around that figure, it was exactly this figure that struck down the flames, cutting through the villa.

He seemed to guess who that person was.

"—Show me again if you entertain other world’s heroes in such a way. Every time I see, I will strike once."

A cold voice came from the clouds.

"Holy crap? Sounds like Su Rin’s voice?" Someone recognized who it was.

"Cough, cough, a lot of fire..."

"Help..."

People lay on the ground, faces pale with lingering fears.

"—I am not a Zhai Star person, there is no morality that can bind me," Su Rin’s voice from the cloud was exceedingly cold, as if he was infuriated by these people’s actions:

"If there’s a next time, I will use the Main God World’s effect of widespread damage to create an explosion and kill you all."

"Don’t talk to me about ’humans mustn’t fight internally’ nonsense, in my eyes, you don’t deserve. I give every person three days to tear down all similar buildings, or I will cut them down myself."

Fear had completely overcome their love for entertainment as people became terrified of Su Rin, even hating him.

"—I mean what I say, remember."

After saying this, the figure in the sky disappeared.

Pale-faced people collapsed sitting on the ground, flames still smoldered on their hair. The once vibrant red rose garden was incinerated, the villa had turned to ruins, and people gradually crawled out from the wreckage.

This matter will soon spread and serve as a warning to all groups.

"... Let’s go." Su Ming’an glanced at the clouds on the horizon.

"By the way, was Su Rin secretly following us all along? Why didn’t he join us?" Lin Yin tugged his hand, "Let’s go, forget about these bothersome things. Let’s head to the final stop of this journey."

"Boating on the lake must be very interesting. I love boating," said Luna.

"I love Rin-chan," said Yamada Machiichi.

...

The final stop was boating on the lake.

They sat on a small boat, gliding past the green hills and rippling waters.

The night had fallen, with brilliant stars reflecting in the sky and mirrored in the lake, as if they were riding a small boat across the vast starry river of the universe.

A warm light was lit, and Lu stood at the bow, lighting the lamp. Lv Shu was responsible for rowing, his figure standing tall in the light.

"Hey! Watch me spear the fish!"

On the curved leaf-like boat, Yamada Machiichi speared down, and a lively fish appeared on the spear.

"Your Strength Value is at least 100 points, what’s so proud about spearing a fish?" Luna pouted.

"This is Edward! Spear! Spear!" Noel and Eni were happily spearing, likening the fish to Edward.

"Haha, I speared an Edward!" Noel shouted, having speared a big fish.

"Me too! Me too! Darn it, let’s celebrate with champagne!" Eni also mercilessly targeted his former colleague.

They tossed the Edwards into the bucket and continued their enemy elimination endeavor.

The water flowed past the hull, stars clustered and shattered in the water’s waves, reaching out like stirring the galaxy within reach.

Su Ming’an sat sideways at the boat’s edge, looking at the gently swaying warm yellow light at the bedside. That night in Pulaya, a small boat similarly traveled through streets and alleys, carrying the knight and the old man, sailing through a full boat of starry nights, seemingly endless.

"Look at these fish." Lin Yin, clad in a white dress, sat beside him.

Her black hair hung smoothly, her eyebrows and eyes appeared softer under the lamp. She looked at the little fish by the boat, gathered like geese flying east:

"Watching them swim back and forth is joyful, but I wonder, what they might think."

"They?" Su Ming’an said.

"Are they... wanting to live comfortably in the lake, or do they want to witness towering waterfalls and vaster waters?" Lin Yin said, "Freshwater fish cannot step into the ocean, nor can fish touch the sky..."

Su Ming’an laughed softly.

"You laughed?" Lin Yin said, "Since coming out of the Ninth World, it’s the first time I’ve seen you laugh so genuinely."

Su Ming’an immediately composed his expression.

"You’re amusing even when you’re not laughing." Lin Yin propped her chin with her hand.

"I feel like you’re all teaming up to cheer me up." Su Ming’an said.

He vaguely sensed that everyone seemed to revolve around him.

At this moment, Noel walked over with a bucket of Edwards, some lively fish still energetic in the bucket, while some were already languishing.

"Because you’re the most tired." Facing Su Ming’an’s suspicion, Noel didn’t argue. He pulled up the corners of his mouth with both hands, making a smile:

"I wouldn’t want you one day to suddenly claim you’re ’Ya Sa’ when I come looking for you. Can you clearly remember who we are, who you are, and where you need to return?"

"I remember." Su Ming’an said.

After this day, the monochrome tones before his eyes were gradually being restored piece by piece.

He could see colorful butterflies, golden trees, a blue sky, and the deep sea in Noel’s eyes.

In his right hand was a hydrogen balloon given by Luna, a vivid yellow Pikachu helium balloon rising into the sky like a bird about to break free from its tether. He held the balloon, watching the warm yellow light penetrate through it, string pulling up like capturing a sun.

"Who am I?" Noel pointed to himself, "Would you still mistake me?"

"You are Noel, we’re going to Yu Country to see the lavender together," Su Ming’an said.

His gaze shifted to the next person:

"He’s Lv Shu, we’re going to Taihua Mountain to see ginkgo trees."

Then to the girl wearing a demon fox mask:

"Lin Yin, we’re going to the Shu Region to eat skewers and see giant pandas."

Then to Lu with a smiling face:

"Lu, I’m waiting for you to take me to fly planes and fire cannons, to see how you deal with the enemy."

Then to Luna, eating candy figures:

"Luna, I’ve always been interested in the scenery of the North Country since I was young. I heard there’s a brown bear in your backyard, and I’d like to see it."

Then to Eni:

"Eni, I’m looking forward to visiting your hometown."

Lastly, to Yamada Machiichi:

"Yamada, I’ve never been to Fusang, and I also want to see Fusang’s cherry blossoms and anime streets. I heard you’re into the second dimension..."

Upon hearing this, Yamada Machiichi’s face, initially touched, faded into distress, waving his hands frantically as if accused of something intolerable, shouting:

"I’m not second dimension, not second dimension, really not! No, no!"

"Alright, not." Su Ming’an said.

He looked at the sky, which was dim; tomorrow in daylight would be the alliance founding ceremony, and the day was drawing to a close.

Staring at the colorful scenery before him, he said:

"I won’t forget."

"No matter what Underworld mechanisms appear in the Tenth World, I won’t forget."

"Nor will it be a repetition of the Ruined World’s tragedy like the Ninth World."

"Seven more months until then..."

He faced his companions on the boat, who were also looking back at him.

The warm light flickered in their varied eyes, the boat piercing through the flow, streaking through the white galaxy, stirring up the vast star sea, heading towards the unknown end.

After not knowing the sky is in the water, the whole boat of clear dreams presses the Milky Way.

He slightly bowed his head, then with a smile:

...

"Let’s return home together."
