Ring of Fate

Chapter 1036 Worth it (for Mr. O of the Golden Alliance Aurora Club)

Inside the cinema.

Franka let out a "huh" sound because she felt that her "despair" potion was completely digested.

Lumian's plan succeeded? This thought suddenly occurred to Franka.

Although she had no idea what Lumian wanted to do or how to do it, she remembered that Lumian had said that once her "despair" potion was digested, it would mean that the action had achieved its intended purpose, Mr. Fool would wake up to a certain extent, and the dream would completely collapse in a few minutes.

Franca subconsciously looked to the side and front of Gehrman Sparrow, and saw that the roof of the cinema was collapsing inch by inch, but the corresponding heavy objects did not fall on the seats and the floor, but fell into the void and disappeared directly.

At the same time, white light emanated from the bodies of the few spectators present and flew into the body of Gehrman Sparrow.

Franka suddenly realized what these white lights were:
It is the impression, cognition and understanding of the character of Gehrman Sparrow by different audiences!

When the dream was about to collapse, these viewers showed their illusory nature, and then the corresponding memories were separated by themselves, becoming the nutrients for the image of German Sparrow in the form of anchor points and information.

What’s different about the dream city is that there are more similar white lights rushing towards us.

It really happened... Franca raised her head happily and looked up at the height that was no longer blocked by the roof of the cinema.

The originally dark sky had collapsed in large areas, revealing the hideous and terrifying dark black and light gray mist.

It's like a house whose walls are shaken down by an earthquake, but the beams and pillars are still there and the skeleton is still there.

…………

Inside Yangdu High-speed Railway Station.

Zhou Mingrui, who was standing on the edge of deep darkness, smiled gently when he heard Lumian say that his "despair" potion had been completely digested:
"That's good."

Lumian was stunned for a moment:
"Mr. Fool?"

Zhou Mingrui nodded:
"It's me now."

He smiled and said:
"You guys did a great job."

Lumian smiled and said:
"If you hadn't sealed away most of Tianzun's power, including his thinking ability, we would have no chance of success."

Lumian still carefully used the word "seal" to describe Zhou Mingrui's original state, but this might not be the case.

He had been saying this before, telling Tianzun his guesses, judgments and plans with a mixture of truth and lies. In addition to wanting to delay time, he also had the intention of strengthening Tianzun's knowledge in this area.

Of course, no matter whether this is true or not, after today, it will be true!

Zhou Mingrui shook his head and smiled:
“It’s already very difficult for me to restrain Tianzun by myself. Without your help, the outcome might be completely different.

“For example, if you hadn’t driven out Zaratul in advance, today’s operation would have definitely encountered twists and turns, and the ‘world’ that awakened might have pointed to Tianzun.

“And if it weren’t for the help of those friends from the Western Continent, Tianzun might have been able to turn the tables in the end.”

It turns out that the back-up plan of the Heavenly Master, the preparation for the original God's legacy, was intercepted and stopped by some beings in the Western Continent... I originally planned to race against time, use the secrets of the "Goddess of Night", and complete the fusion of the three Gehrman Sparrow images before the back-up plan of the Heavenly Master really came into play... Heavenly Master, or Underworld Man? Lumian said with a "hmm", and said with emotion:
"Yes, without the efforts and preparations of the Major Arcana, even if we could interpret the true meaning of all the symbols today, we would not have had enough time to create the character of Gehrman Sparrow, and we could only watch the situation tilt towards Tianzun.

“Similarly, without Peng Deng and Amon’s hints, we might still be exploring the direction, and Tianzun’s fatal blow is about to come…”

Seeing that Lumian realized this clearly and rationally, Zhou Mingrui nodded with relief.

Lumian did not go on to talk about the contributions of Stiano, Leodro, Anderson and other gods and people, but asked eagerly:
"Mr. Fool, can Aurora, my sister, really be resurrected?"

Zhou Mingrui looked at Lumian and said in a calm voice:
"If the soul fragment is sealed in your body and has not dissipated, if you are a Beyonder of the Path of Fortune Teller and have been promoted to Miracle Worker, then with my help, you can 'graft' your own resurrection onto your sister's soul fragment and allow her to truly return.

"But now, you can only rely on the resurrection of the 'witch' path to separate your sister in the future."

Seeing that Lumian was lost in thought, Zhou Mingrui added:

"You can no longer change your path. Moreover, after you were promoted to the Witch of Despair, Auror's soul fragments have merged with yours to a certain extent. If you use the Sun path to go back to the beginning, her soul fragments will not be able to hold on and will completely dissipate."

Lumian was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Will the resurrection accomplished by the 'Witch' path in the future be a true resurrection?"

"Yes." Zhou Mingrui sighed, "But wishes are often distorted, and the way they are realized may not be what you want. Just like when you saved my believer, I noticed you and had a feeling that you would play an important role in the dream in the future, so I gave you the breath of gray fog and my mark, but I didn't expect that this prophecy would be realized in such a tortuous way. My behavior is also part of the prophecy."

"So that old man is your believer." Lumian suddenly realized.

He laughed calmly:
"Without the breath of gray fog, perhaps I would never have met Aurore, and would never have the life I had in Cordu Village. Aurore would still be noticed by April Fools' Day, and would still be troubled by Roche Louise Sanson. She might not even have the chance to be resurrected."

At this point, Lumian took a breath and said:
"I see.

"As long as it is an essential and true resurrection, I can accept any form of realization."

Zhou Mingrui nodded slightly and stretched out his right palm:
"You can give me the bottle of 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' water that Mr. Azik processed."

Lumian took out a small golden bottle from the Traveler's Bag and asked in confusion:
"Mr. Fool, Gehrman Sparrow has been 'born'. There is no need for you to drink this bottle of spring water anymore, right? The Celestial Lord is sealed in your body. If He drinks, it is the same as if you drink. Moreover, this has only a slight effect on a Sequence 0 True God."

The golden bottle suddenly appeared on Zhou Mingrui's right palm, while Lumian's hand was empty.

"I will continue to sleep for a while." Zhou Mingrui said with a smile, "Now is the opportunity to merge with Tianzun and better fight against him, and this bottle of spring water is the medium.

"Gehrman Sparrow will become the Fool, embodying a little of my will until I fully wake up."

"Do you still want to merge with Tianzun?" Lumian asked doubtfully.

Zhou Mingrui nodded

"Yes, integration and confrontation, this is the only way at present."

"Doesn't that mean..." Lumian suddenly closed his mouth as he remembered some mystical knowledge he knew.

The spiritual imprint of the original creator within the extraordinary characteristics is indestructible, and so are the original God and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun!

Zhou Mingrui smiled and said:
"No matter how much I win, no matter how much you help me, in the long run, the one who will win this confrontation will definitely be Tianzun."

Seeing that Lumian fell silent, Zhou Mingrui continued with a gentle expression:

“Most people know that they only have a few decades to live and are destined to die in the near future, but this does not prevent them from enjoying their lives, doing meaningful things, or experiencing happiness, pain, sadness, emotion, satisfaction, and longing.

"You have also seen from Luo Shan's experience during this period that there is a lot of truth in dreams. There may be hope hidden at the end of despair, and the momentary brilliance may point to eternity."

Lumian was speechless for a moment.

After more than ten seconds, he sighed:
“Wouldn’t it be tiring to fight, be eroded, and try to merge every day for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer?
"Will it be like before, when I still have my own self-awareness, but suddenly I find myself in the mirror with a strange smile?"

“Yes.” Zhou Mingrui sighed and smiled. “When I fully wake up this time, apart from the strongest and most passionate feelings and humanity between Zhou Mingrui and Klein Moretti, everything else will most likely no longer be who I am now.”

This is not a speculative tone.

"As for whether it's tiring or not..." Zhou Mingrui's tone became more lively, "It must be tiring, but there's nothing we can do about it. Someone has to do this, right?"

Lumian's thoughts were in a mess. He opened his mouth and said:
"does it worth?"

Zhou Mingrui looked at him, then suddenly took a step back and fell into the deep darkness.

He did not melt away quickly like other characters in the dream who fell into the darkness, but sank slowly as if in the sea.

Zhou Mingrui raised his right hand, put the bottle of water from the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" to his mouth and drank it.

Then, he slowly sank, looking at Lumian outside the deep darkness, showing a gentle smile similar to before, and replied in a calm voice:

"worth."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly winked at Lumian with his left eye. He was not calm or serious at all, and certainly not like the aloof Mr. Fool.

Lumian watched Zhou Mingrui sink into the depths of darkness until even his vague figure disappeared.

He whispered to himself:

"worth……"

In the cinema, as the white light merged and Zhou Mingrui disappeared into the deep darkness, Gehrman Sparrow, who had been standing there as if asleep, suddenly raised his head.

He opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the gold-rimmed glasses.

The sky of the dream city was completely stripped away, all the houses collapsed, and the images of characters such as Green and Zhang Qing became blurred and completely collapsed.

Franka was confused for a moment, then woke up.

She saw the people in the room, saw the bright smile from the heart on Ms. Justice's face, saw Ms. Magician drinking red wine, and saw the clear and brilliant light.

The sun is just right outside the window.

PS: This is an extra chapter for Mr. O of the Aurora Club of the Golden Alliance, to celebrate Xiao Ke’s initial awakening.

Normally that chapter is at ten o'clock in the evening.
