Chapter 937 The Troubles of Another Ending

Medical Department.

With an IV drip attached, Jiang Wengao's dazed mind gradually cleared under the influence of the medication, but the clearer he became, the more confused he felt about the future.

The closed beta version of the game in my dream has also changed due to the changes in reality, but the most likely outcome, fifty years later, is still unsatisfactory.

Although Su Jie killed the Heart of the Rift King in time fifty years later, Sprite did not stop invading the mortal world and eventually arrived there. None of them stopped Sprite from arriving in the mortal world.

With the Heart of the Rending King destroyed, the Earth was not flattened into a single plane, and many people survived as a result. However, the destruction caused by Spleddy after arriving in the mortal world was still enormous, and he regained a great deal of worship in the mortal world with his great power, eventually gathering and establishing the new Three Scars Kingdom in the mortal world.

After twenty years of development and various chain reactions, this outcome ultimately caused the Control Bureau to fall from its position as the world's number one supernatural organization, and its control over the world declined sharply.

Such an outcome has even made it difficult to distinguish whether it's better or worse.

In the timeline where Sprite ascended, although the vast majority of humanity perished, the Bureau of Control still maintained a strong grip on the present world after its reconstruction, and society became more stable.

However, in the timeline where Sprite did not ascend, although most of humanity survived, the social atmosphere had undergone a tremendous change. The universal world, where "ordinary people could not see the extraordinary," became extremely unstable. Fifty years later, the Bureau of Control even predicted that in the near future, it would once again enter an era of extraordinary prosperity that had occurred in history, an era in which everyone could see extraordinary phenomena.

In Jiang Wengao's view, the latter outcome is certainly better than the former. After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Although the latter is like having a chronic terminal illness, at least everyone survived.

However, while the second option is better, it doesn't mean it's not bad. It just means that Sprite's founding of the nation was the worst possible outcome, winning the championship with a score of -100 against -1000.

He certainly wanted to kill Spread, but the problem was that no one could kill Spread at the time.

He even asked Su Yue in the game why the Pillars of Humanity didn't deal with the other party, and the other party's answer was: the outcome is unpredictable, but it can be predicted that once the war starts, it is impossible to resolve it on a small scale in a short time. Sprite's battle with any of the Pillars of Humanity will cause the deaths of countless civilians, and the number is unpredictable.

Su Yue countered with a question: "Why have the Tower of Babel, the Funeral Home, and other organizations existed for so long? Is it because the Bureau of Control couldn't destroy them? Are the strongest among them stronger than the pillars of humanity?"

Jiang Wengao understood this answer, so he was even more certain that the best solution was to prevent Sprite from arriving in the present world from the very beginning, fifty years ago... that is, now!

He and Su Yue, fifty years later, raised this hypothetical discussion, but Su Yue was also unable to provide a solution.

According to her, fifty years ago at this time, the other pillars of the world were dealing with some equally thorny problems. Many of them held multiple positions and had been suppressing several extremely dangerous anomalies for a long time. They were unable to maintain their peak combat power and therefore could not participate in the battle to stop Sprite.

Let alone stopping Sprite, the entire Earth was flattened at the time, and they couldn't do anything about it.

Because the danger of world destruction doesn't come in a queue. The crisis of world destruction is often everywhere. It's just that someone is blocking everything in an unknown corner, which is why the present world seems peaceful. The disasters that the pillars deal with are no easier than the counterattack of the old history. It's just that they haven't affected the present world, so they are unknown to others.

The few hours of gaming time can be summed up in one word.

despair.

It seems they can't escape unscathed no matter what, and it seems they have no choice but to make a painful but necessary sacrifice.

We can avoid the end of the world, but we cannot prevent the deterioration of the universal environment.

But Jiang Wengao did not give up hope. Although he reviewed the history of the game from multiple perspectives, he could not find a perfect solution. But he knew that it was not over yet.

There are some things that are not included in the game, for example... Natsumori!
Shouge didn't appear in the game, so he might not have been taken into account by Linzhongma. To change fate, perhaps we should start with him.

In particular, Shouge clearly had a significant advantage in the Blood Dynasty. With the aid of Rosa's Night and Fire Scepter, he completely suppressed that era. From this perspective, he could perhaps be considered the pinnacle of the Blood Dynasty. A clash between two pinnacles isn't entirely without a chance of victory!

"Xiao Gao."

A familiar voice rang out in front of him. Jiang Wengao looked up abruptly and found that Xia Shou had arrived at some point.

“Brother Shou? Ah…you’ve come at the right time, I was just looking for you.” Jiang Wengao smiled bitterly.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Brother Shou, the situation is not good. You may be the only one who can stop Sprite."

"Me?" Xia Shou asked, pointing to his own nose. "Me, to fight Sprite?"

"Is there any need to be so surprised? Didn't you prepare everything beforehand?"

"I'm all ready, but... but you're making it sound like I'm the only one who can help. Didn't the minister say she'd step in?" Xia Shou said guiltily.

Xia Shou wasn't unprepared to fight the Rift King; he was worried that if he did fight the Rift King, he would have no one behind him.

Being one of the players in a series of matches isn't really stressful, but if you're the last trump card, the pressure is so immense it can be depressing.

Xia Shou had always felt that someone was backing her up. After all, the most powerful person in the Bureau of Control couldn't possibly be the Minister. If even the Minister could say with such confidence, "I will take action," it meant that the Minister believed she could compete with Sprite.

So even if she fails, there should be someone else in the control bureau to take over.

But now, Xiao Gao suddenly says he's counting on him entirely, which is a bit...

"Does the minister also boast?" Xia Shou frowned and remained silent for a while before asking, "Even if the minister cured him, it would be useless?"

"The minister was cured? What minister was cured?" Jiang Wengao looked bewildered.

Xia Shou was stunned: "Didn't you ask the minister to come to me to treat... to treat that?"

"I didn't." Jiang Wengao shook his head in confusion, looking as if he knew nothing.

Xiao Gao definitely wasn't lying, because there's nothing to lie about.

But the minister clearly stated before that it was Xiao Gao who told her to get treatment.

So... the minister lied?
But there's no reason for the minister to lie, and how did he even know about Idrissu?!

However, knowing this rekindled a glimmer of hope in Xia Shou's heart.

Xiao Gao didn't know he could cure the minister's strange illness, which means that the minister probably wasn't at her peak in the game either. Thinking about it this way, perhaps the minister's claim that she would help wasn't just boasting.
