Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 145, Section 144: Like a Dream

Regardless, Wang Ji did not stop.

Matter gradually appeared in the world.

Earth, ocean, mountains, forests, sun, moon, and stars…

And everything before the end of the world.

When the ground was regenerated, Wang Ji invoked the chunk saving tool and manipulated the world backup file using the magician.

Thus, the familiar buildings, machines, new cities, and new villages, all imbued with the fruits of people's labor, were reproduced and appeared on the land.

It was like loading an old save file, everything was exactly the same as in my memory, as if I had returned to the time before the apocalypse.

The basic outer shell was thus completed.

But one most important thing is still missing—life.

This is also the most crucial step.

In the current situation, it is not difficult to revive life in the main world. After all, everything is ready, and I only need to think once to use magic to revive everyone in the world.

But that won't work; we can't just do it directly.

Everyone in the world knows about the end of the world.

If they really did that, the apocalypse of cognition would definitely come knocking on their door immediately, and Wang Ji really didn't want to have to fight it again.

Therefore, we need to take out some insurance.

As his consciousness penetrated the information layer, Wang Ji modified the underlying logic, fundamentally erasing people's 'cognition' of the 'apocalypse', making them just like the people in the other realms, who would not know or recognize this existence unless the apocalypse itself came.

Compared to the Keeper of the Secrets using his own characteristics to achieve this, Wang Ji's operation was indeed a bit more troublesome. The former is like a centralized power grid supplying electricity, while the latter is like a small workshop manually cranking a generator. The efficiency and technical content are not on the same level.

Fortunately, it's only a life form in one world, so the workload isn't too heavy, and this 'hand-cranked power generation' operation doesn't seem too tiring.

Only after this layer of protection was in place could Wang Ji continue to revive his life.

Recovery timeline: Before the apocalypse occurs.

Then, forms appeared one by one, and all the lives that were originally alive, and those that died unnaturally because of the apocalyptic disaster, returned to the world.

everything's ready.

next moment.

The world began to turn.

Bustling and lively.

People came back to life, each going about their own business without any sense of incongruity.

It was as if none of this had ever happened.

They don't remember the apocalypse, nor do they remember dying once, and no one even noticed that the world had been reshaped—not even for a moment.

It's as if all...all the disasters were just a dream Wang Ji had, a false illusion that never happened.

In reality, things continue as they were, just as Wang Ji experienced in the Dream Builder's dream space.

No one suffers an undeserved calamity, nor is anyone trapped in eternal torment.

What was real became a dream, and what was a dream became reality.

Wang Ji suddenly remembered a sentence that the Dream Weaver Remnant Shadow had said.

"Truth and falsehood are separated by a mere thought."

Why can't a dream become reality?
Look at the world that has just begun to recover.

People go about their lives in this era, cleaning up the mess left by the empire and starting new lives.

Occasionally they would bring up the past, the sage, the vanished empire, and all the privileges.

Many people from the old era are still not adapted to the present life, unable to keep up with the status quo, and their thinking cannot be changed in a short time, which leads to a lot of trouble.

However, it is foreseeable that under the influence of new ideas, in a few years or decades, as the new generation grows up in the current environment and the old generation passes away, the world's atmosphere will surely be renewed and will no longer need to rely on the hard work of countless people to maintain stability, as it does today.

Wang Ji sensed everything before him and remained motionless for a long time.

Everything is back.

Soon, my dream will become a reality.

Perhaps a few months from now, the archmage, who's making a guest appearance at the alchemy university, will encounter a clumsy young man and jokingly tell him to slow down so he doesn't bump into anyone. Only, that clumsy young man won't be himself.

And then there's Ryder. Ryder didn't die from an experiment, so Oswald didn't have to carry the guilt for the rest of his life because of this accident, unwilling to face this 'young man' who idolized him.

They're all back, they're all alive.

Recalling those past events, Wang Ji closed his eyes and felt a sense of peace and comfort.

He recalled the moon that came back to life before the world was destroyed, and the giant face that appeared on the earth after being struck by the moon.

From a creation-level perspective, this matter is very clear, and one can immediately understand what is going on.

The main world has its own will, but it usually does not manifest itself.

A world's conscious will requires a large amount of spiritual energy to maintain, but in the original world of magical arts, this spiritual energy was distributed to all living beings within the world.

If civilization develops smoothly, then spirituality can achieve positive cyclical growth through the activities of living beings, the world will become stronger and stronger, and will can be revived.

Unfortunately, it didn't develop.

The moon is the world's last warning. Under immense pressure, it awakened first, attempting to awaken the world's primary consciousness in an extreme way, trying to make a final stand.

It succeeded—with Oswald's help.

In the very end, after the main world truly awakens, it chooses to self-destruct, entrusting everything to Wang Ji and helping him ascend to the heavens in one step.

It succeeded.

Wang Ji murmured, "I guess I haven't let you down."

And they did not disappoint this gift.

"Wang Ji".

As his thoughts were racing, Wang Ji suddenly heard someone calling his name.

The voice was very familiar.

"Why are you here?"

hum-

An inexplicable commotion arose, and a void space, devoid of anything, was created, covering the King's Extreme.

Wang Ji did not resist, allowing this space to encompass him.

This method used to seem very strange and difficult to understand.

As for now, there's no need to say more.

"Oswald".

Coming to his senses, Wang Ji called out the name of the person who had come.

His feelings about the Grand Master coming to him so quickly were somewhat complicated; he was a little surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

Oswald said, "I couldn't find you anywhere in the world, so how did you get out?"

"This is no good place. In my memory, the spirit world harbors something extremely dangerous, but I can't quite remember why I didn't dare to come back in the first place?"

Osvid couldn't help but shake his head and say, "That's strange."

He then looked at Wang Ji.

Upon seeing this, I was almost stunned.

"You...you seem to have changed a little."

Oswald scrutinized Wang Ji and said, "It hasn't been a day since we last met, has it? What exactly did you do in that time?"

"one day?"

Wang Ji repeated the time, the memory replaying in his mind.

"Oh, it does take about a day."

"This is really..."

"long time no see."

Wang Ji said those words once again.
