Lin Sanjiu's nose was still choked, but her tears had stopped. She also didn't expect that she would cry so hard for a stranger in her dream. When she first heard Nuwa's question, she didn't even react.
——You still need to ask, you will feel sad just by looking at it, right?
Nuwa was very patient.
"My own abilities are about to create a world for you. How do you feel about it?"
[Flat World] is only a few minutes away from final completion...
As the dream faded away, Lin Sanjiu's mood gradually calmed down. She thought for a while and said with a nasal voice: "There is no sense of reality."
Nuwa looked at her but said nothing.
Lin Sanjiu also stayed quiet for a while, sniffing occasionally.
"When [Flat World] was upgraded last time, it turned into a blank card. At that time, Yuan Xiangxi gave me an idea and asked me to draw a hair on the card to see if it would remove the card.
After transformation, it really turns into a piece of hair.
"I tried the hair, but it didn't work, but the ghost insisted that it was because of my poor painting skills... So I called the painter and asked him to draw a chocolate cake. I wanted to make it as realistic as possible, but it didn't work."
The things in [Flat World] couldn't be called out for the time being, so she lifted up the hem of her vest and wiped her face in confusion.
"Later, when I met the enemy, I was imprisoned in the bubble space. Unexpectedly, I saw the chocolate cake in the bubble space... I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what it was. I drew it
Things will randomly choose a sub-space to come true? What's the use of that?...Today, I finally understand."
The chocolate cake came true in the bubble space because it had nowhere to go and could only turn into a real thing when Lin Sanjiu entered the sub-space next time.
When the [Flat World] changes qualitatively and becomes a vast, real world, all the "chocolate cakes" will naturally have a place to go.
"However, it's one thing to have seen chocolate cake, and it's another thing to see the world created by me." Lin Sanjiu still felt that everything was not real yet, and whispered: "No matter how many times I think about it, it will never happen."
I feel like... I haven’t woken up from a dream yet.”
Nuwa actually smiled slightly - it was not a change in her skin and muscles, but a real smile that brought back memories.
"Yes. I felt the same way when I experienced my first qualitative change in ability."
Nuwa originally had more than one qualitatively changed ability? If we say that they are all abilities of the same level as "creating the world", no wonder Lin Sanjiu couldn't even understand it before.
However, questions like how strong she is... seem to be very far away from me at the moment, like a story I heard occasionally in my previous life, and it doesn't matter if I forget it now.
"Ah," Lin Sanjiu raised her hands, looked at it, turned to Nuwa and said, "...it's done."
The qualitative change of [Flat World] ended quietly and normally without any wind or waves; there was neither a sudden enlightenment nor a sense of divinity looking down on mortals.
Even if she can create a world, she is still Lin Sanjiu.
Under the night, Nuwa leaned over. "How?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at her hands on her legs for a while. After a few seconds, a drop of cool water hit her palms.
"I...I'm happy."
She whispered: "I understand everything...the specific shape of the ark, the way to create a new world, how to bring everyone back...I understand it all. So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."
She couldn't help herself for a moment, leaning down and sinking into the rich and moist smell of grass - as if it was a metaphor for this apocalyptic world; even in such a dark and cruel night, there was still a little tenderness.
As if with great hesitation and hesitation, Nuwa gently raised her hand, as if uncertain, and landed on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder.
He lifted it up again and dropped it again; after doing this twice, it turned out to be a pat on her shoulder.
"You must really want to know, right?" Lin Sanjiu stood up, wiping away tears and saying with a smile. "Let me call out today's [Flat World] - I want to tell you all the details. You have a target
Intuition of ability, maybe you can help me understand it deeper."
Nuwa's help was only a small part of the reason. The bigger reason was that she wanted to use her own voice and actions to truly carve the "Ark" into the world - if she said it, it would be true. From now on
Later, the Ark existed.
Under the dark night sky, a piece of white paper stood up silently on the grass beside the two of them.
It is nearly two people tall and more than one person wide; but apart from its size and its ability to stand upright, there seems to be nothing surprising about it.
"This..." Nuwa stared at it and whispered: "It's really a piece of paper?"
"yes."
Lin Sanjiu laughed. She never thought she could see Nuwa like this again. "To put it simply, what I can draw on white paper is no longer just objects."
She stretched out a hand and touched the new form of [Flat World] for the first time, her ark.
The white paper is cold, smooth, and flat; it is as thin as paper, but stands like a mountain between heaven and earth.
"Today's white paper is an undesigned chaotic space. If what falls on the paper is a particle of dust, then there is a dust in the chaotic space.
"I can start from one piece of dust, and slowly add a second piece of dust, or a stone, or a piece of soil... As long as I take the time to shape it little by little, it can eventually become a universe containing countless galaxies and galaxies.
"I can create a room with words and pictures on this white paper, then the new world is just a room. If I slide the words and pictures on the paper aside, and add a
A balcony connected to a room... Then, this world is a room plus a balcony.
"I can add a corridor outside the door, or a sky outside the window. I can keep adding to the original foundation, because [the flat world] is infinite."
Yes, as long as she keeps writing new descriptions, her world is infinite and has no end.
"When its conditions are mature, it will also produce heavy rain and lightning, change the landform, and give birth to life. It will be a real world, not only the product of my ability. When the conditions that allow human beings to exist are met, even I can
Think of it as a door into a new world."
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was standing in another dream and whispered: "Even after I die, that world will still truly exist in a corner of the universe forever and will not disappear with me."
"You need to have a certain understanding of the world in order to keep adding... No," Nuwa suddenly changed her mind, "Let's continue 'creating'? However, 'understanding' is not difficult."
"Yes, it seems that you understand its essence." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but laugh, "Look, you used the word 'creation' instead of creation.
"You're right... If I can only build a 'world', no matter how big it is, it will still be just a space, an empty shell, not an ark. I still don't know the whereabouts of my relatives and friends, or their fate.
I don’t know how to bring them back... So the second characteristic of [Flat World] is what is really important to me, and it is also the characteristic that makes it an ark."
Nuwa nodded, looked at the white paper, and asked: "It is indeed very strange. Where does the second characteristic of this form... come from?"
"Ah, I haven't told you yet."
Lin Sanjiu stroked the white paper and whispered: "That memory is not mine. I have never even seen the memory owner. It was what I experienced other people's memories and listened to the memories of the person in that person's memory.
The past... was like a rabbit hole, layer by layer.
"The memory owner's name is Qiao Yuanji."
Lin Sanjiu briefly recounted the memory of Qiao Yuanji and Sakura Mizugan that he learned from Yaichi Liu's memory.
"When she finally left, she used a special item called [Story on Paper]. The way she left at the end of her life has always stayed in my mind and I can never forget it... for a long time.
, I always think of it involuntarily, not knowing whether to cry for her or laugh for her."
My fingertips made a rustling sound when they rubbed the paper; it seemed that I was the one receiving the comfort and caress.
"My [Flat World] was probably inspired by [Stories Falling on Paper], which led to the current form of white paper. However, it is not the same as that object."
Nuwa raised her head and stared at the white paper. "When you put the story completely on the paper, the new world you created will open a door in front of the protagonist of the story...right?"
"As expected of you."
Lin Sanjiu admired and whispered: "Things put down on paper will become part of the new world. When it comes to people, it will be slightly different... When I put what I know into everyone's
When experiences and stories are written down on paper, their destiny will also be led to me and to the new world.
"No matter where they live, as long as they are alive, when the story catches up with them, this white paper will appear in front of them, forming a door. When they walk in, it is a new world. Look, the size of this paper,
It looks a lot like a door, right? The so-called stepping onto the Ark... is to allow them to pass through the [Flat World] and enter a new world."
She thought of the sleeping goddess in the card library.
The goddess told everyone one by one at that time that when they saw the "door", they must walk in...it turned out to be a foreshadowing and prediction of the future.
What she wants to do from now on is clear.
"So as you said, in this case, the people I forgot... will be very difficult."
Lin Sanjiu recalled that tired and heavy dream, as well as the black hair and silver earrings swaying in the wind.
"When I forgot Lu Ze, I almost didn't feel it. After all, I only got along with him for a short period of time. But this time... it seemed that my soul was injured, but I didn't know it. When I saw him again, even if it was just a dream
Here, the memory is also desperately clamoring, wanting to come back."
She didn't know how deep her bond was with that "mad dog" who was feared by everyone in the Twelve Worlds; she didn't know if he would be willing to walk in; she didn't even know whether she would find him first or whether she would find him first.
Death found him first...
All she knew was that she would never let go.
"I can't live without the Karma Museum, and Libao should be the first person to come back to find me. When fighting Oussias, Libao returned to his body once, so he knows where I am, and it won't take long
, will separate another small bunch and come to me.
"He once interpreted my data, even though it was a long time ago... but that's okay. With the memory in that data, I at least have a place to start."
"It seems that you already know what kind of world you want to create?"
Lin Sanjiu thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
Things are so weird and interesting.
"Yes," she replied, "there is only one most appropriate answer, right?"
Nuwa nodded, as if she understood what she meant without any explanation.
"I once said that my promise is divided into two parts. The first part is that you create the Ark... Now you have it. You should have thought about the second part of my promise, right?"
Lin Sanjiu was silent for a while.
"I don't need to write detailed memoirs of their lives to lead them to a new world. I just need to write down everything I know and try to make the story follow their final steps - of course, only what I know.
The last steps of knowing.”
If she had finished writing about her journey with Bohemia now, then when she finished writing tonight, a door would have appeared in front of Bohemia who had wandered to nowhere.
"But this means that the later I finish it, the further their lives will go on alone, and the 'story' I wrote will be only a smaller part of it for them.
"If we use an analogy, the story I wrote on paper is a magnetic stone. This magnetic stone is actually a part of their lives, but it has 'magnetism' because it is related to me who created the new world.
.The more they write, the bigger the magnet becomes and the easier it is to bring them into the new world.
"But if they live in a place I don't know for many years after tonight, then the magnetic stone I can write on will be a very small one for them... and they can be transferred to them smoothly.
Leading to a new world? It will definitely be harder.
"What's more, what if their lives are in danger while I'm writing? If it takes me nine or ten years to complete, but they die during this time, what will happen to [Flat World]?"
Can it be called an ark?"
She said so much in one breath, but Nuwa was not impatient and continued to listen quietly.
Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice: "So I guess, the second part of your promise... is 'time'?"
Nuwa smiled slowly.
"Yes. Have you noticed? It's been so long, but the morning has never come."
She took two steps away from the white paper, rustling grass in the night.
Lin Sanjiu was startled. Her mind was completely occupied by the [Flat World]. After being reminded, she realized that it was indeed the morning that seemed to have come long ago, but the night was still shrouding the earth.
Countdown to energy delivery—00:54
Nuwa stopped, turned her back to Lin Sanjiu, looked at the light blue night sky, and said: "Consider it my blessing and thank you... I will do my best to serve you in the widest possible range.
You stop the passage of time."
Even though Lin Sanjiu had made a guess, she never expected such an answer. She couldn't help but take a breath and murmured, "Are you willing to freeze time for us? When... until?"
"When I can no longer continue." Nuwa said calmly, "But even if I just stand here, my ability cannot cover every world in every layer of the universe. I will continue to embark on the journey, I will
It is also a big challenge for me to stop time wherever I go.
"Oh, of course, you need that data body named Ji Shanqing to come to you, right? I will pay attention to it and let his time pass normally.
"You know what to do while I'm anchoring you, right?"
Lin Sanjiu laughed.
"Yes, I have to work hard to speed up, create the world, and finish writing the story." She whispered, "Thank you... I am very satisfied."
When Nuwa's time freeze ends, the new world she created must already have companions - by the time they finish writing tonight, they will be able to go home.
"You don't have to thank me. Speaking of which, I do need to thank you."
Under the misty moonlight, the moment Nuwa turned her head and looked at Lin Sanjiu, it seemed that she was still a human being with the same joys and sorrows.
"Perhaps I came to you as a subject for experimental observation... But now, you have given me a comfort that I did not expect."
"comfort?"
"There are still people like you among humans... When I think of this, I feel that the fact that I was once a human is not entirely a shame."
…Have you ever felt ashamed before?
Lin Sanjiu didn't quite understand it, but she didn't seem to understand it at all. The feeling of "being ashamed to be with someone" seemed to have occurred to her in the distant past.
However, that is no longer important.
When she raised her eyes and found that there was no one between the sky and the earth in front of her, Lin Sanjiu was not surprised.
Nuwa embarked on a journey... This moment was the time for her to take root for herself.
Countdown to energy delivery—indefinitely suspended.
For her, tomorrow would take a long, long time to come; but that didn't matter.
When tomorrow's sunshine illuminates her, the grass, and Exodus, it will be a new world.
"Painter," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "I'm going to have to work hard for you next."
The painter, who had just been released from the card and was still confused, said "Ah" after hearing this - he was much more alert. As soon as he saw the huge white paper standing quietly between the sky and the earth, his eyes immediately became fixed, and it seemed that he had already
You know, this is where he is going to paint.
"It's so wonderful...Have you seen this night a long time ago, Goddess?"
"Of course," the goddess turned her eyes to the side, as if she felt guilty. "From the unpredictability and changeability of fate, I have already found a thin path..."
"Just looking at you like this, I think you are unreliable." Lin Sanjiu commented.
The life coach sat cross-legged on the ground, nodded in sympathy, then suddenly raised his head, looked around and asked, "Hey? What's going on now?"
"The world is about to be created." Lin Sanjiu said softly. "But, where should we start?"
She knew that the people who were also in the Karma Museum included Lou Qin, Mather and Wu Yiliu; if she went to them now and showed them the new world, would they be willing to let go of their obsession?
Oh, no, their time has also been frozen. There is no use looking for them...
So, start with the world around her? A lot of things did happen to her in the Karma Museum, the human farm, the battle with Oasis... Even in "One Hundred Thousand World Shift Dreams", there is also Gong Daichi's
Leave a message and wait for her to see it.
"However, I always feel that it is convenient to start with the Karma Museum to create the world, but it is a bit messy to record the various experiences along the way... Well, it would be great if the gift package is here. Is there a starting point?
Is it convenient for creating the world and suitable for recording experiences?”
"Wait a minute," the life instructor was confused, "What world do you want to create?"
