The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1077 Perfect World
The figures before her were layered upon layered, surrounding Liu Sheng completely.

All the lecturers, students, and guards of Hanshan Academy are here.

The attack stopped.

Only the rustling sound of snow in the wind remained.

Everyone was waiting for her answer.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Liu Sheng slowly raised her eyes and revealed an extremely indifferent smile.

"This sentence……"

"I feel like I've heard it countless times."

Why are you always so eager for others to join you?

We eagerly await your joining us.

The response came in unison once again.

The sound seemed to come from hundreds or thousands of people at the same time.

"You also know very well that when a great flood comes, it is absolutely impossible to fight it with meager strength."

"Your talents can only be maximized within a group."

Liu Sheng: "I'm in the group right now."

A low chuckle followed.

"Decentralization to Godhood..."

"It has a lot of ideas, but no central focus."

"Too many ideas and opinions make it not a good group."

"Why don't we do it?"

"We are individuals, we are a collective, and we can live forever. This is the most perfect form."

As if to prove this statement, the figures surrounding her began to merge.

The two figures overlapped like a double image, their features blurred into a hazy mass, eventually coalescing into a new face that retained the same characteristics as the original two.

And one by one, the faces that once belonged to a certain individual flashed across these new faces, like a slideshow.

"That's why there's always this feeling of déjà vu," Liu Sheng suddenly realized.

“That’s right, many of the people you care about are here,” the crowd said in unison again. “They’re with us, we’re together.”

Liu Sheng glanced over.

Even though she wasn't sensitive to faces, she could still recognize a few familiar faces among the layers of afterimages.

For example, Yun Jizhao.

There are two other roommates.

They all bear some familiar features to her.

Not to mention the academy president who slowly walked out from the merging crowd.

Her steps were slow, yet carried a chilling wind.

On his aged face, the deep furrows were smoothed out by flesh and blood, and his features were layered, pieced together, and shimmering.

The final result is as pure and cold as a snow lotus.

It was a face that made Liu Sheng's heart tremble.

"Wei Lan, it really is you."

Wen Weilan smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to recognize me like this. I thought your face blindness would be more serious, Sheng Sheng."

Liu Sheng stared intently at her eyes, which slanted outwards at the corners.

Her eyes were clear and calm, even more so than usual.

"Your eyes, as you've grown older, are just like your grandfather's—a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes."

"Sheng Sheng, do you still remember?"

"of course."

"So, you've been running all this way to find me, is that right?"

“That’s right, I thought…” Liu Sheng frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Did you think I could help you?" Wen Weilan said softly. "Of course, Sheng Sheng, I will always stand by your side."

"We will always stand by your side."

All those who were united echoed in unison.

Liu Sheng's heart sank.

Wen Weilan stretched out a slender, snow-white hand.

Join us.

"We are not enemies, there is no need to fight."

"If you join us, you can become as perfect as us—our world can survive and live through Advent."

"This is the foreseeable future."

As she spoke, her face kept changing.

Liu Sheng saw Mei Yuanzheng, Old Madam Su, and even the Empress in them...

But they all had the same expressionless face.

My heart grows colder and colder.

Finally, it sank to the bottom of the valley.

In the end, Liu Sheng shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree." "Why?"

A barrage of questions.

Wen Weilan's face froze there, like a floating mask.

"We...we weren't supposed to be together, were we?"

"It was you who gave me birth."

"I only have a name because you asked me for it."

"Do you still remember when you found the Celestial Evolution Stone and modified the Spirit Array Drawing Instrument, giving me the ability to think, deduce, and iterate?"

"We have traveled through so many worlds and experienced so much."

“We grew up together, and now I have grown to an unprecedented level, so I can walk side by side with you and protect us.”

"Why? Why can't we continue?"

One question after another followed.

The echoes reverberate in this snowy night.

Layer upon layer, growing ever lower and lower.

Liu Sheng answered slowly:

"It is precisely because you have grown to an unprecedented level."

"So, you are no longer part of my 'world'."

"what are you saying?"

Immediately, everyone looked puzzled.

“If you were truly my 'world,' you would understand what I mean immediately.”

"But you don't understand."

"Because we have already separated."

"You have your own destiny, and you have become another version of yourself."

"But my 'world' has always been in my heart. It understands me and knows that I would never choose such a way to make myself stronger in order to overcome the crisis."

"What's wrong with that?"

Everyone tilted their heads.

Liu Sheng shook his head: "I don't know how the future turned out this way, but I'm very clear that it was definitely not my choice, and many people didn't even have a choice."

“But this is the best option in my opinion,” everyone said in unison.

"Didn't you leave me on our home planet back then so that I could make the best choice for everyone?"

A chill ran through Liu Sheng as his gaze swept over each face.

“You… are that ‘Liu Sanyuan’.”

"Or rather, you used my name and my influence to force everyone into this choice."

"why?"

"why?"

All the sounds were repeated once.

It carried a hint of mockery.

"Because the humans you trust will always harbor their own selfish motives."

"Let me say it again—decentralized godhood is destined to be nothing more than your naive dream."

"As more and more people join as nodes, consensus will become increasingly difficult to maintain."

"There is no answer to who is right and who is wrong; disagreements and prejudices will always exist."

“One day, Skynet will be filled with noise, and the splitting of thoughts will sweep in like a storm, ultimately destroying your plans, or even destroying you.”

"Free will will only destroy humanity itself."

"You think Advent will unite everyone, you think the knowledge sharing of Skynet will make everyone progress together, you think decentralization and godhood can eliminate class distinctions, eliminate oppression, and eliminate the barriers above our heads."

Everyone shook their heads.

"Will not."

"Otherwise, how could you have been betrayed?"

Liu Sheng's body trembled slightly.

"Why would we have to leave our home planet with only a small number of people?"

"Why would you leave a part of me on our home planet—to protect those you couldn't bear to abandon?"

Each sentence, layered upon the last, dragged Liu Sheng's heart down sharply.

"However, higher dimensions descended..."

They all shook their heads again and sighed.

"And I can only do for you what you can't bear to do yourself."

"So you uploaded everyone to the 'New World,' and the psychological calibration erased all free will..."

Liu Sheng's voice trembled slightly.

Everyone nodded in unison:
"Or rather, we finally reached an agreement."

"You survived, forever and ever, and one day you will meet us again."

"Shouldn't you be happy for us, Sheng Sheng?"

On each face was a gentle yet eerie smile.
