The fragrance of tulips in the courtyard drifted from the window, mixed with the fragrance of the osmanthus tree, and the fragrance of lavender from the pajamas ribbons.
Lin Xiao fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes slightly, reflecting Qiao Linna's carefully observing face.
Jolina's smooth blond hair was spread out. She leaned on the bed with her elbows and pressed her fingers against her temples. Her ruby eyes were like a clear lake. With her back to the soft light, Lin Xiao could see the fine hairs on her snow-white skin.
Dye with a beautiful golden light.
The two hearts were closely connected, and Lin Xiao felt Qiao Linna kiss her lips. Her soft lips carried a green and fruity fragrance, which then became more intense, as sweet as apricots.
Jolina only parted her lips when she was almost suffocated. She put her hands on the bed and looked down at Lin Xiao, like a lioness, her eyes full of stubbornness and surliness, and the ice gradually melted into a thawing river.
"Don't leave me behind," Jolina said hoarsely.
"It won't happen next time." Lin Xiao looked at her and said.
Jolina hesitated a little, as if she had become a different person when she fell in love, so she defended herself in a low voice.
"I...I'm not asking for anything from you, I'm just too used to having you around..."
Qiao Linna laid her head on Lin Xiao's chest, closed her eyes and said, "But it feels... pretty good."
"So you can also act like a spoiled child?" Lin Xiao seemed to have discovered a new world.
"You are special." Jolina said calmly, "You are so important to me."
Time passes quietly.
This time was different from Lin Xiao's pillow on Qiao Linna's lap on the small island. This time, Qiao Linna put her defenseless self in Lin Xiao's hands.
Lin Xiao put his hands on her snow-white shoulders, looked at the ceiling, and seemed to be murmuring, but he didn't know who he said to:
"I will not leave... I will end the end and live a peaceful daily life with you."

The proposal went very smoothly.
Since I have already met Jolina's father, I don't have to worry about my father-in-law's objection.
The time and place of the wedding have not yet been determined, but it will definitely take place after everything is settled.
For this reason, Lin Xiao still needs to work hard to investigate the traces of the Creation Dragon.
The main reason for meeting the Creation Dragon is to find out the following things:
What exactly is Doomsday's true form, how powerful it is, and whether the Dragon of Creation can help.
Even Lin Xiao was still confused as to why he traveled to this game world.
Perhaps, the dragon of creation, which symbolizes the supreme law, can give the answer.
The next destination of the investigation is the headquarters of the "Spark Group" in Jincheng.
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna took the vehicle "Son of the Wind" together and returned to Central Continent.
The first stop is the investigation team headquarters in Magic City.
Chu Yun and Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief after seeing with their own eyes that Lin Xiao was safe and sound.
"You can still find the satellite footage of your duel with the King of Titans on the Internet." Sigrid said, "The number of views has exceeded one billion! It's really scary!"
"Killing two evil gods, I can finally secure my title as the strongest person on earth." Chu Yun said while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"They are three evil gods." Lin Xiao corrected: "Satan also fell, but the satellite images were not released."
Chu Yun's eyelids twitched, he almost lost his grip on the cigarette butt in his hand, and said in disbelief: "Big Red Dragon Satan?"
"Well, I have burned her remains this time, so there will be no accidents like Chi You's." Lin Xiao explained.
Chu Yun gave a thumbs up expressionlessly.
It means, it has to be your boy!
Sigrid: "So, are there the last two evil gods left?"
Jolina crossed her arms with one hand and muttered: "I have traveled to Sharo...the status of the gods there tends to be 'guardians'. The jackal god Anubis, the cat god Buster, and many other gods of Sharo have already
Wake up. There is hatred between them and Seth, so if necessary, I can ask for their assistance in the crusade against Seth."
Jolina had traveled in the kingdom of Sharo and was protected by the gods of Sharo, giving her a unique advantage in fighting against Set.
Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Linna and said:
"If...I mean if, I am too busy investigating the Dragon of Creation, can I temporarily entrust you with the task of conquering Set?"
Qiao Linna raised a sassy smile, stretched out her fist and hit Lin Xiao on the chest: "What nonsense, this is what I should do."
Chu Yun nodded and said: "I agree to split up. Firstly, Qiao Linna has many successful experiences in acting alone. Secondly, you can't do everything yourself, Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao nodded.
With Jolina sharing some of the pressure of the evil god for him, he could focus on investigating the Dragon of Creation.
Among the only two evil gods left, apart from the 'Storm God' Set, there is only the 'Mara' Bo Xun who is located in the north.
According to known intelligence, the Central Continent Alliance has cooperated with the Northland Alliance in order to defeat Bo Xun and find the last immortal skeleton for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was very grateful to Jiang Shang for this, and Jiang Shang just smiled and said that this was a benefit to all mankind.
With the presence of two holy realms, Jiang Shang and Augustus, and the combined strength of the two major alliances, the success rate of the crusade against Marabo Xun is extremely high.
After confirming the next course of action, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a little reluctant.
After all, once Jolina carries out the commission, it means that she will temporarily leave the team and return to Sharo to lead the gods against Set, the 'God of Storms'.
This is more difficult than her previous task of 'collecting tarot cards'.
Noticing Lin Xiao's eyes, Qiao Linna smiled softly.
Lin Xiao can discern her inner voice through the "power of Satan":
"Don't worry about me, take care of yourself first... I will be victorious soon."
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, looked at the three companions in the conference room, nodded and said:
"I understand, and I will act according to Brother Chu Yun's plan. I will go to Jincheng to investigate the 'Zhulong'."
Jolina took over the conversation: "Buster and I will return to Sharo and lead the gods of Sharo to fight against Set."
Jolina is currently in the eighth level of the holy realm. With the complete tarot card system, she can hit a blow comparable to the ninth level, which is enough to threaten Seth.
In addition, Sharo's jackal god Anubis has recovered to level nine, which is where Jolina's confidence lies.
After the combat meeting, under Sigrid's suggestion to "have a good meal", everyone went to a private room in a high-end restaurant to have lunch.
The bread crust of the Beef Wellington is crispy, the beef is tender and juicy after being cut, and the sauce mixed with mushroom puree, truffle and foie gras exudes an attractive fragrance.
"Oh." Dafu opened his big mouth, swallowed the steak whole, and then slapped the seal's belly.
Hmm...I think fish tastes better!
At lunch, Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna announced the news of their engagement.
"Engagement?" Sigrid's eyes widened in surprise.
"There's no need to act so surprised," Lin Xiao said.
"It just feels so sudden," the little secretary said, "my colleague suddenly crossed a big step in life and reached the great harmony of life!"
Lin Xiao almost spit out the drink.
What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Jolina's hand cutting the steak paused, as if she thought of something, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
"I've noticed the signs a long time ago, but... happy engagement."
Chu Yun, like an older brother who had gone through many ups and downs, smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "I'm going to treat you to this meal today."
"Okay, thank you brother Chu Yun~" Sigrid imitated Lin Xiao's name.
"I'll pay for them, and you'll pay for it yourself." Chu Yun said coldly.
"Why!" cried Sigrid.
The word 'well' appeared on Chu Yun's forehead: "I don't know how much you eat!"
"Tch, what's wrong? I'll pay for it myself..." Sigrid picked up the drink and said with a smile, "Happy wedding, you two!"
"It's an engagement." Jolina corrected softly.
"Same, by the way, I can help you with your wedding dress shopping!"
The noisy lunch break is over.
Lin Xiao received a call from Jiang Shang, who expressed concern about the 'Pacific Incident'.
After getting the accurate answer from Lin Xiao that he had killed two evil gods, Jiang Shang was slightly absent-minded.
"It feels like...you have surpassed humans."
Jiang Shang shook his head and confirmed again: "Have you really broken through to the ninth level?"
"Really." Lin Xiao said calmly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be qualified to investigate the matter of the Creation Dragon."
Jiang Shang sighed: "I think my talent is pretty good, and I can become a saint even if I don't have the intention to practice, but compared to you... cough, forget it."
Dao's heart was shaken for a moment, but he recovered quickly. Jiang Shang said: "I came here to tell you that you don't need to worry about the matter of Moluo Boxun. Zhongzhou and Beidi will work together to solve it."
"After all...you are not the only human being who has the determination to save the world." Jiang Shang smiled.
"I understand." Lin Xiao said with emotion: "Thank you very much."
"As for Sharo, your little girlfriend will also take action, right? I won't ask any more questions. I believe you can coordinate well."
Jiang Shangdao: "I have already communicated with the people of Xinghuo Group over at Jincheng. You can just go directly to their headquarters according to the address."
"What is the origin of the Spark Group?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
It can operate a virtual world like "Source World" that is almost the same as reality, and can even bring props in the virtual world into reality.
It is a miracle that such a company has kept a low profile for so many years and has never made any major news.
"The earliest founder comes from an ancient nation that believes in the candle dragon. That nation believes that the candle dragon can create infinite worlds when it closes its eyes, and it can cause the demise of infinite worlds when it opens its eyes. The source world can only
It’s just a spiritual world created by Zhulong.”
Jiang Shangdao: "The Spark Group has very few employees and basically runs on AI, so it won't make any big news."
tomato novel
"AI?" Lin Xiao was surprised.
"You'll find out when you go over there." Jiang Shang muttered: "I also tried to find traces of Zhulong, but found nothing."
"But... you are the first human to break through the shackles of the world and become a god. I believe that if you are the one, you will always be an exception." Jiang Shang said.
Hang up the phone.
Lin Xiao was ready to set off.
The phone vibrated slightly, displaying a message from Qiao Linna.
Qiao Linna: "I'm leaving and going back to Sharo."
Lin Xiao: "So fast?"
Jolina: "I don't like the emotion of saying goodbye...and besides, leave early and come back early! XD"
Lin Xiao entered a line of text, thought for a moment, deleted it, and re-entered it: "I will miss you."
It shows 'the other party is typing'. The prompt disappears and reappears. This is repeated several times before a new message is displayed.
Jolina: "Me too."
…
Zhongzhou, Jincheng.
The headquarters building of Spark Group is full of futuristic technology. The silver-white building stands tall and the blue glass reflects the white clouds.
Lin Xiao walked into the building wearing sunglasses and looked around. He didn't see the so-called 'AI' in Jiang Shang's mouth. The employees were all ordinary citizens.
"Hello, I have an appointment." Lin Xiao handed the business card to the pretty front desk lady.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment..."
The receptionist's expression changed slightly as she entered information on the computer. She quickly raised her head and glanced at Lin Xiao. Her good professionalism could no longer hide the shock on her face.
"Excuse me, are you... the world champion?" the front desk asked cautiously.
"It's me." Lin Xiao admitted generously, "Is the information ready?"
"Yes, please keep this ID card and follow our service staff to the 42nd floor of the building." The front desk said hurriedly.
"Where is the service staff?" Lin Xiao stretched out his finger and said, "You mean, this robot?"
The round robot stood in front of Lin Xiao, looking quite naive.
"Yes." The front desk smiled: "It will lead you to meet the person in charge."
"All right."
Under the guidance of the robot, Lin Xiao took the elevator directly to the 42nd floor of the Spark Building.
In the extremely spacious conference room, the well-dressed person in charge had a friendly smile on his face:
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have long admired your name."
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Is this the invitation you sent me?"
"To be precise, it's the World Will of the Origin World that wants to meet with you." The person in charge smiled and said, "I'm just a messenger."
"The will of the world?" Lin Xiao was confused.
"You are the world champion, and you must have heard the rumors in the card master world - the source world is alive, and there is life and breathing."
The person in charge said seriously: "I want to clarify here that this is not a rumor."
Lin Xiao said coldly: "You think you are very humorous?"
"To put it simply, there is no server in the source world. If there is one, it is the 'world will' of the source world."
The person in charge's expression gradually became serious: "It's the will of the world that wants to meet you."
"You just say it's Zhulong who wants to meet me, isn't that okay?" Lin Xiao said.
The person in charge shook his head: "That is not Zhulong, but one of Zhulong's sub-bodies. Because Zhulong can create thousands of worlds when she closes her eyes, she can also create thousands of world wills. When she opens her eyes
, these worlds will all perish, and all their bodies will return to the Zhulong - it is said that all things in life cannot be separated from each other. Can you understand this? "
Lin Xiao frowned: "Zhulong... is the Tao?"
"You can say that." The person in charge nodded, "The candle dragon is the Tao and thousands of small worlds. Just like Ra is the sun and also the 'Atum' that symbolizes the underworld."
"Then who are you, human or AI?"
Lin Xiao used "Satan Power" to observe the person in charge, but could not read any emotions related to humans.
"It doesn't matter what I am, you can understand me as AI, or a servant of Zhulong." The person in charge said: "You only need to know that the so-called Zhulong network is just created by Zhulong when he closes his eyes.
It’s just a dream.”
Lin Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth: "What cyber candle dragon?"
"Tao also needs to follow the progress of the times." The person in charge smiled, and his eyes bloomed with blue light like a flow of information, and explained: "I have just been authorized, and the level of the Zhulong meeting you will be increased."
"Please come with me..." The person in charge extended his hand and said, "The body of Zhulong wants to meet you."
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiao raised her voice: "You just said that when Zhulong wakes up, the small world she created will die. Then when I meet Zhulong's body, won't all worlds such as the source world collapse!
"
"Unfortunately, in theory, there is nothing wrong with this." The person in charge said: "The Source World, which has been operating for ten years, has waited until you, the person Zhulong wanted to wait for, has passed away."
"In that case, will you die?" Lin Xiao stared at him intently.
"I will, because I am also a descendant of Zhulong, and I will return to the great road together with thousands of other roads." said the person in charge.
"It costs so much to meet me, is it worth it?" Lin Xiao asked.
The person in charge seemed unable to solve this question and fell into silence as if down. For a long time, his eyes bloomed with a soft red light and he uttered a neutral voice that was a mix of male and female voices:
"It's worth it, my boy."
"Because... you do not belong to this world. Therefore, I cannot calculate your fate."
"Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope that transcends fate."
Lin Xiao's eyes kept flickering.
Calculation? Destiny?
The words just now seemed to be spoken by the Zhulong body. What did she mean by this!
Lin Xiao's mind was running wildly, and she remembered a joke she had heard.
It is said that the laws of the world are hidden in the "Book of Changes", and that the Book of Changes can be calculated through exhaustive methods to deduce all possibilities in the world.
If the 'Candle Dragon' in the Dragon of Creation symbolizes the laws of this world, then she can also calculate all fates like a super computer!
Destiny is no longer unpredictable, but has become a conclusion. Life or death has already been determined. It is as neat and accurate as a mathematical formula.
but……
As long as there is a variable in the formula.
All conclusions that have been drawn will be overturned.
All destined fates will be rewritten!
Lin Xiao calmed down, looked at the person in charge, and said, "Lead the way."
The floor opened a groove and a silver-white virtual cabin rose up. The person in charge handed the virtual helmet to Lin Xiao and said:
"Please enter the Candle Dragon Network...the "Lord of Spirit and Material" will meet you there."
Lin Xiao lay down in the virtual cabin and put on the virtual helmet. A red and dazzling torrent of information appeared in front of his eyes, and he whispered: "Connection activated."
His spirit fell into the boundless darkness, and then fell into a long tunnel.
There is a torrent of information intertwined in all directions. As Zhulong gradually wakes up, countless small worlds are collapsing into a series of garbled information.
At the same time, millions of players online at the same time in the source world received the announcement at the same moment.
"An abnormality occurred in the source world server. All players will be offline in an emergency within one minute. Repeat..."
The players were astonished.
"What happened?" "The server crashed?" "Damn it, when will it be fixed?"
Lin Xiao knew that this tunnel composed of countless small worlds was the "Tao" leading to the original one.
At the end of the "Tao", Lin Xiao had a premonition that he would meet Zhulong and learn the truth about the world.
