Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

The scent of Yotsuya Miko filled Takami's nostrils, and the soft touch on his face was no different from the wonderful experiences in his dreams. However, knowing what was currently inhabiting this body, Takami simply couldn't focus his attention on anything else. He remained tense and motionless, continuing to ponder what to do next.

"I will release the girl you like, the people who helped you, and the people you rescued and settled in the village."

But then, after hearing Blood Flower say those words, Gao Hai finally realized that this incredibly powerful deity had finally spared him and everyone on this planet.

"Mother will eliminate the pain and regret of those restless souls who are kept in this broken space, so that they can return to the cycle of the planet."

"Those bad people who hurt you and are your enemies, your mother will keep them. However, because they are very closely connected with the mountain spirit and the earth spirit, after maintaining the peace of the souls in that space, they will probably be pulled into the remains of those two spirits. If you really want to destroy them, you may have to do it yourself, my child. After all, if your mother does it, she will probably destroy the mountain spirit and the earth spirit along with them, which is not something you want to see."

"I'm sorry, my initial intention was simply to save you. The balance between order and chaos in this world has been disrupted. The [Sacrifice Game], which could have either elevated you or destroyed you, has become absolute destruction due to this distortion. I only wanted to save you because I didn't want to see that happen. But now I know that you are capable of facing the fate of chaos and have the potential to overcome misfortune. I can protect children who are powerless to protect themselves, but if you have the potential to soar, then I will choose to stand aside and witness your future."

A gentle voice, a gentle embrace.

Gao Hai could feel his body being gradually filled by a gentle force.

The two Root Forms that he absorbed were completely fused with Gao Hai under the control of the Blood Flower. This was something that would normally take a long time to complete, but it was done ahead of schedule. As a result, Gao Hai could clearly feel the powerful force spreading through his body.

Moreover, he could clearly feel the power of the blessing being transmitted to him from the blood flower.

No.

It would be inaccurate to describe this power as a blessing.

This should be considered a blessing.

She is the embodiment of the supreme being who is the mother of all things, and after finally acknowledging Gao Hai's efforts, she bestowed upon him the power of blessing.

Gao Hai was currently unaware of the true power of this blessing, because before he could even try to sense it, Blood Flower had already embraced him tightly once more. And unlike before, this time Blood Flower's voice was transmitted directly into Gao Hai's mind from the spiritual realm.

{Thank you for your hard work, kid.}

That gentle voice was like a soft caress on Gao Hai's skin.

{You've endured pain you shouldn't have to bear, carried a fate you shouldn't have to carry, and endured so much suffering to get to where you are today. Even your mother has become a part of your pain. I'm so sorry. It breaks my heart, but since this is your choice, I won't interfere.}

But if one day, if you ultimately fail, or when you want to give up carrying this pain, call out to your mother. No matter what, your mother will always be watching over you; there will always be a safe haven for you, a home for you.

Bloodflower spoke one after another, maintaining a gentle tone throughout.

Gao Hai remained silent, not because he didn't want to say anything, but because he simply didn't know how to answer.

Mom?

This title was completely unfamiliar to Gao Hai.

His parents died early, and he had no grandparents or other relatives, so his childhood memories were of a desolate orphanage where there was no mother to rely on.

Regardless of the true nature of the Blood Flower, the pure love it possesses, which requires no response, is far too unfamiliar and too ethereal for Gao Hai to comprehend, making it impossible for him to respond.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about such things anymore the next moment, because Blood Flower then said something that sent chills down his spine.

{This is the only thing your mother left for you. After all, you don't even belong to this world. You are an innocent person who had no reason to get involved in this turmoil.}

Not from this world...?

He... He actually figured it out?! He knew I was actually wearing—

{Shh, don't think about it, don't ponder it. As long as you don't show it, no one will know.}

Before Gao Hai could react, Xuehua gently pressed her hand to his lips, silencing his voice and movements, and continued to speak to him tenderly.

I don't like the principle of all things that seeks order and knowledge; it's too rational, and it lacks love. Even if it, like me, decides to save the world, it won't act personally, but rather seek a variable, attempting to change the already predetermined ending by introducing variables from other worlds.

Even if He did succeed, child, your actions have blurred the future of this world, opening up new possibilities. But I still hate Him, because He made innocent children bear a fate they shouldn't have to bear. All of this has nothing to do with you, does it? But if it weren't for this black watch, how could you have been tainted by this fate?

So, Mom is leaving you only one way out, my child. If you choose to give up this fate, Mom will take you away, and take away those you love. If you make that choice, no matter what the world becomes in the future, Mom will protect you and ensure your safe departure.

Gao Hai found it difficult to describe this feeling.

He vaguely felt that the sound of the blood flower was almost like a plea.

It was as if He was begging Gao Hai to make the choice to give up, pleading with him not to continue.

In the previous few cycles, He was a terrifying threat that he could not face at all, but at this moment, He has become the one who cares about him the most and loves him the most, trying his best to bring him out of danger.

The feeling was quite complicated, and Gao Hai didn't know how to respond to the deity's pure emotions.

However, he knew what he had to do next. So, although he had to admit that such tenderness made him feel overwhelmed, it was time to part ways.

"I won't stop here."

So he answered the other person in the same gentle voice.

"I will continue to move forward, for myself, for the people I love, for those who have walked with me along the way, and for those who have sacrificed themselves."

"Unless one day I truly face utter failure and there is absolutely no turning back, as long as I have a breath left, I will not stop moving forward. This is the path I have chosen for myself, so I will continue to walk it with unwavering determination."

Reach out.

Gently hold the other person's hand.

It seemed that, slightly, through Miko's body, one could sense the aura emanating from that being, and His tremors.

"Thank you for loving me and all living beings in this world."

“I will prove that we are not toddlers who need to be protected, but young people who are ready to step out of the shelter and embrace the future.”

"So now, please watch us as we continue to move forward."

After those final words, Jianzi's figure had already disappeared from Gao Hai's sight, and the scent of Blood Flower could no longer be found.

He could sense that this deity had left this world, this planet. Although His gaze was still fixed upon this place, from this day forward, He would no longer attempt to absorb and assimilate the entire world, nor would He decide the future of this civilization on its behalf.

From now on, they'll have to rely on themselves.

hum-

Furthermore, before departing, Gao Hai could sense that He directly dispelled the regrets of the four core obsessions through His own power. Therefore, apart from Mr. Du, who needed to be settled, the other three deceased had found peace. Moreover, the obsessions of most of the monsters within the entire instance were also eliminated. It can be said that Blood Flower directly bypassed the underlying logic of the [Sacrifice Game] and dispelled this instance.

However, this instance is not yet completely finished.

As the beautiful garden gradually faded and the dark, distorted colors began to spread, Gao Hai clearly understood that the final chapter of this instance was not yet over.

Human obsessions can be easily soothed by God and then discarded for reincarnation, but God's obsessions cannot be so easily resolved.

Those who also failed to find peace in this instance include the Mountain God of Little Black Mountain and the Fox Queen. For the remains of these two inhuman beings to be healed and dissipated, Gao Hai must personally contact them, making them understand that the fate of human civilization has reached a turning point. Only in this way can the obsessions that have formed too deep a connection with the two deities, and the blood flowers' inability to be precisely manipulated, be truly released.

"In other words, there are still a few last little chores and some trash to clean up. I'm used to this kind of thing."

Everything around was shrouded in absolute darkness.

The Black Mountain in the dungeon world collapsed and was destroyed, and the false village turned to dust and disappeared. However, the painful obsession swirling in the darkness was still clearly imprinted on the senses.

Of course, there are also the girls who are gradually becoming clearer, sent back to their side by the Blood Flower.

Yes, I can sense the presence of Li Ziyong, no, I can sense the presence of everyone in Li Family Village. It seems that even though they were devoured by the Mountain God, they didn't truly die, but rather continue to live within the Mountain God's body in a state worse than death. That's good. If the final stage of the dungeon's destruction lacked the process of tearing apart the scum by hand, Gao Hai would feel it was a bit inauthentic and unorthodox.

Rumbling--

The fragmented land reappeared once again.

Gao Hai landed lightly on the ground without stirring up a speck of dust, and his pupils gradually turned blood red.

"Then let's do a simple cleaning first."

As he spoke, his aura began to become violent.

Chapter 155: The Confused Players and the Gradually Perceived Blessing Power

what happened?

Tangyuan, a veteran player from the [Historian] community, really wanted to ask a question out loud.

What the hell is going on?

Looking around, everything was covered in darkness.

The distorted land and earthen houses appear and disappear at times, like things from a dream coming into the real world, presenting an ambiguous state that cannot be completely stable.

The howls and cries of the strange creatures echoed from near and far, their distorted auras constantly swirling around, making it impossible to determine whether the source of the sounds was real or the true distance between them and the creatures.

She felt as if she were floating in the darkness, but there was also a slight sensation of being in water. Tangyuan tried to control her body and discovered that she could actually move around in a swimming motion, and at a fairly fast speed.

So where have I ended up?

Am I supposed to be working on the [Infant Cry Village] dungeon?

What did I do to you?!

Tangyuan's last memory was of leaving Mr. Du's hidden space and going to meet Gao Hai. At this moment, her heart was filled with doubts.

Although being absorbed by the blood flower allowed Tangyuan to bypass the black watch's time-lapse and remember some events from the fourth timeline, only vague memories remained, and the memories of the blood flower had been erased. At this moment, Tangyuan had no idea how she ended up in such a bizarre and broken world, nor did she know what to do next.

"Oh, you're here."

A somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out at that moment.

Tangyuan looked in the direction the sound came from and saw Gao Hai calmly swimming past her in a freestyle style.

"...Mr. Gao? Wait, why did the temporary mental link break? What happened? Did you rewind again? No, no, no, this feeling is completely wrong. This feeling... this instance has been cracked?!"

Tangyuan was taken aback upon seeing Gao Hai, then attempted to communicate via a temporary mental link, only to discover that the mental link, previously constructed through the object of her obsession, had inexplicably broken. Furthermore, she keenly sensed abnormal changes in the surrounding space, a feeling akin to the gradual collapse of the instance itself, as if… the core obsession had been broken and its last wishes erased, thus the instance was beginning its destruction?!

A dungeon that has been confirmed as Red Moon level, and which, according to Brother Chachai, may even surpass Red Moon level, has been cracked?

Upon realizing this possibility, Tangyuan gasped, feeling a strong sense of unreality.

"It hasn't been fully cracked yet."

Gao Hai gave a calm reply.

"The four core obsessions of the Red Moon level have been broken, but this instance is not only composed of the core obsessions, but also the Mountain God, the Fox Queen, and the lingering resentments left by some gods from back then. So now I need to find the location of these lingering resentments. Once I find them, I can completely remove the obsessions that maintain the existence of this instance, and then we can go home."

“I’ve found some other people, but they can’t keep up with me and are all behind. You can help them out. I’ll continue on. Be careful. Although this instance is gradually turning into a broken state, there are still many monsters that haven’t lost their power and are still lingering. Don’t lose your life in these last moments.”

After saying this, Gao Hai quickly moved downwards, diving into the dark vortex at a speed far faster than Tang Yuan.

So that's how it is. The four Red Moon-level core obsessions have been broken, no wonder this happened. For dungeons with multiple core obsessions, once one obsession is broken, the entire dungeon will shatter and reassemble, which is quite normal. As for [Infant Cry Village], according to Mr. Gao, all the core obsessions have been broken, but there are still forces outside the core obsessions pulling at it, so the current situation is also normal.

Hmm...that's normal...hmm...

"Wait, buddy, all the core obsessions have been broken? What are you talking about?! Four Red Moon-level core obsessions, you just say they've been broken? Wait a minute, don't go, what's going on? Did I sleep for years? This plot is completely wrong, isn't it???"

Tangyuan, who could no longer hold back, tried to swim to Gao Hai's side, but found that she couldn't keep up with his speed at all. She could only watch him drift further and further away in the darkness, and soon she couldn't find him anywhere.
