Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Su Ming looked at the smiling girl in his arms.

That's it?

Even in the unrestrained expression of emotions, there is an inherent elegance.

This made him smirk, chuckle softly, and say, slowly and deliberately, "Come on, learn from me."

"Mom! Sell! Wholesale!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"Fuck your mother!"

"#￥%……￥%*（"

(Birds chirping and flowers blooming)

Shen Wanyu covered her mouth and laughed.

"Su Ming, you're so vulgar."

Su Ming chuckled awkwardly twice, and just as he was about to speak, his pupils contracted slightly: "You, how did you know my name was Su Ming?"

From the moment he stepped onto this ancient blue planet, he picked up Shen Wanyu and sped off.

Along the way, we overcame the rapidly descending cold front.

I didn't even have a chance to introduce myself.

Shen Wanyu blinked: "I remember everything."

"Su Ming, that's enough."

"I remember myself at every stage of my life."

"I know you've always been there."

"So, there's nothing to be afraid of."

It's not a good place to talk or linger.

Su Ming carried Shen Wanyu and quickly found a convenience store.

Before the cold wave arrived, they sealed all the gaps in the store with their own flesh and blood.

As the biting cold wave swept in, the flesh covering the convenience store was instantly frozen, solidifying into a thick layer of ice crystals.

Fortunately, the store's basic temperature was maintained.

But this is not a long-term solution.

This is just the first wave of the cold snap.

As time goes by.

There will be a second and a third wave.

Until the entire world is permanently sealed off.

But it can barely hold on for a while.

After finishing these tasks, Su Ming did not rush to the next ancient blue star, but instead appeared directly in front of Shen Wanyu.

Something's not right.

He circled Shen Wanyu a few times: "Why did you think of me?"

Shen Wanyu gently stroked Su Ming's cheek, her voice tinged with a mixture of amusement and heartache: "It's not just you."

"Yu Mengnian, Chen Zhiwei, Tang Tang, Lin Jiajia, Xu Qinghe, Zhou Zhengyang, I remember them all."

"Everything in the manor."

Our first date.

"I even remembered Wen Qi, whom you mentioned before."

She pointed to her head: "It's not just me, it's me from all different periods of time, I remember them all."

"So, you don't need to work so hard anymore."

"For me, it's enough as long as we know you're there."

At this moment, Shen Wanyu's memories from all different time periods are simultaneously shared and interconnected.

She seems to have broken some kind of boundary between time and dimension.

As time passed and the barriers of memory became more prominent, they lost their original meaning in her life.

at the same time.

Shen Wanyu, who was in the critical care monitoring room, suddenly sat up straight.

This extremely abrupt scene stunned all the medical personnel present.

"Miss Shen."

After everyone realized what was happening, they quickly stepped forward to check the situation.

"I'm fine."

Shen Wanyu gently shook her head.

Her eyes remained empty, their depths filled with immeasurable weight and sorrow.

The endless memories of death continued to assault her consciousness.

But the light deepest in her eyes remained completely stable, as if it were eternal.

That was her anchor point.

This anchor point is called Su Ming.

It is her exclusive anchor point that allows her to transcend countless years and endure endless deaths.

"I'm fine."

She spoke again to the medical staff surrounding her, her tone calm yet firm.

"Take me back to the Shen family compound."

She spoke very slowly and softly, and her movements were also slow and heavy.

Observe carefully.

Her body was trembling every second.

That was the shock of memories of death.

the other side.

Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian were admiring the sunrise when Zhou Zhengyang rushed up like a madman.

"Shen Wanyu is awake."

"She'll be at the Shen family compound in fifteen minutes."

Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian turned around at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance.

You can clearly see the seriousness in the other person's eyes.

Fifteen minutes later.

Accompanied by medical staff, Shen Wanyu returned to the Shen family compound.

She refused to use a wheelchair and declined all offers of assistance.

Alone, he stepped steadily into the Shen family compound.

This is where she grew up.

It was also the place she knew best.

His gaze slowly swept over the familiar servants in the courtyard, finally settling on his parents and family members, whose eyes were filled with worry and who were staring intently at him.

The sound was soft, yet clear and powerful.

She said, "I'm back."

The focus shifts back to the past of Earth.

Shen Wanyu curled up in Su Ming's arms.

Although her eyes were full of reluctance, she still said, "Su Ming, it's time for you to leave."

"We're fine."

Su Ming remained silent.

He held Shen Wanyu in his arms like that.

Until the second, third, and fourth cold waves arrived one after another.

The entire convenience store was completely encased in solid ice, transformed into an ancient ice cave isolated from the world, chilling to the bone and utterly silent.

Finally, Shen Wanyu nestled in his arms, closed her eyes contentedly, and lost all vitality.

She was like Sleeping Beauty, quiet and peaceful, forever frozen in this frozen old world.

With the death of Shen Wanyu.

This ancient blue planet began to collapse and disappear.

This time, Su Ming did not travel to the next ancient blue planet.

He blurred the boundaries and took a step forward.

When he looked up again, he was back on the real Earth, standing at the entrance of the Shen family compound.

Here, a gentle breeze caresses your face, and the warm sun shines just right.

Enter the living room.

Everyone is here.

Shen Wanyu had been waiting for Su Ming for a long time.

Su Ming walked up to her in a few steps.

Before he could speak, Shen Wanyu shook her head reassuringly, "I'm fine."

"Chen Zhiwei told me that this is called spiritual elevation."

"Spiritual ascension?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.

Chen Zhiwei, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the right moment to explain: "During the time you were away, a few of us discussed this once."

"The final conclusion was spiritual ascension."

She briefly recounted their initial speculations.

Su Ming listened in a daze, and after a long while, he finally spoke in a deep voice.

"You mean, after her spiritual ascension, Wanyu will become one of them?"

"After December 21st, what Wanyu is experiencing now, all of humanity will experience."

Just listening to it made Su Ming feel suffocated.

He experienced everything that Shen Wanyu went through.

Who can withstand it?

except him.

Yes, Su Ming enjoys death.

In this respect, he has transcended all humanity.

That is precisely why.

Su Ming then realized how terrifying death was.

Compared to the night of March 22nd, he has undergone a complete transformation.

Anyone who has experienced death.

Some things about people will change forever.

And Shen Wanyu.

Su Ming looked at her.

She died more times than all her previous deaths combined.

Moreover, it happens continuously, every single second.

However, Shen Wanyu seemed to have remained unchanged.

Her self-control, her forbearance, her refinement—perhaps even they were astonished.

"So, Shen Wanyu is now..."

"No," Chen Zhiwei interrupted Su Ming, "It seems the dimensional ascension hasn't been successful yet."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have woken up."

"Based on my speculation about spiritual ascension."

"Once the ascension is successful, her spirit will separate from her body and become a..."

Chen Zhiwei tapped his chin, pondered for a long time before speaking, "It's like an unknown form that runs through the entire Blue Star worldline."

"She will be everywhere, in the past, present, and future."

Su Ming frowned.

Chen Zhiwei understood his thoughts.

"it's useless."

"When Shen Wanyu takes this form, she will not protect humanity."

"Because the word 'human' will become utterly unfamiliar."

"She might even take away all of humanity's existing knowledge."

Su Ming blinked: "Take it?"

To be honest, he didn't quite understand.

Chen Zhiwei explained, "Knowledge cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred."

"When Shen Wanyu took away human knowledge."

"Human knowledge would lose its characteristic of being passed down."

"Even if we don't perish, we'll revert to our most primitive, barbaric state."

"Stripped of all wisdom, left only with instinct, they live like lowly beasts."

"Perhaps one day, we will learn new knowledge and develop a new civilization."

"Perhaps, never."

Hearing Chen Zhiwei's explanation, Su Ming shuddered.

This regression is a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than death.

He didn't even dare to think about it deeply.

Once she ascends to a higher dimension, Shen Wanyu takes away all of humanity's knowledge.

It's like taking away all of humanity's future and throwing them forever into a primitive, barbaric era.

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Chen Zhiwei added a sentence as appropriate.

"Therefore, she must die."

"But it can't be an ordinary death."

Su Ming looked at Shen Wanyu and couldn't help but think of how she looked when he first met her in the banquet hall.

One, a headless female corpse.

Her head disappeared.

Who took her head?

An absurd and outrageous answer appeared in my mind.

It was he from the future who took away the head of Shen Wanyu from the past.

Lin Jiajia, standing to the side, murmured softly, "Turning cause into effect."

"Some things are destined from the start, and human effort is ultimately powerless to change them."

"Knowing the outcome, yet still unable to change the process."

"It's not that we can't, but that we're unwilling."

"This is destiny."

"To make you willingly, step by step, move towards the predetermined ending."

Although Lin Jiajia's voice was soft, Su Ming heard it.

Destiny.

His name sounds the same, but they disagree.

If he doesn't kill Shen Wanyu, even if she doesn't ascend to a higher dimension, she will be completely erased by the system and disappear forever.

But if I kill her...

Everything seemed like a predetermined, closed loop of fate.

He simply followed the predetermined ending, moving forward step by step.

"Is it...the meaning of fate?"

Lin Jiajia shook her head: "Destiny is above fate."

"Fate can be changed through hard work; one can defy fate and change one's destiny."

"And destiny is a predetermined ending that cannot be changed."

Su Ming looked around blankly and asked, "So what are we now?"

"All efforts are leading to a predetermined outcome."

That deep-seated sense of powerlessness is indescribable.

"No." Chen Zhiwei shook her head.

That's what I thought at first too.

"But this is their destiny, not yours, nor the world's."

Shen Wanyu, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment, her voice soft but incredibly firm: "I'm so glad that it led me to you."

The fact that those outside the arena didn't understand things as clearly as those inside made Su Ming chuckle to himself.
