Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Wanyu, Tang Tang, Xu Qinghe, and Bai Xinglan quietly watched Su Ming and Wen Qi on the balcony.

They heard everything they were saying.

They had heard the name Yu Mengnian many times.

Unexpectedly, Su Ming answered the question the next second.

The answer was frank and straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

"Won't."

He thought Wen Qi would ask why.

However, Wen Qi lightly brushed aside this topic and instead asked about the integration of scenes.

After listening to Su Ming's explanation, Wen Qi nodded: "Let's call it the Old World."

"After all, everything here belongs to the relics of the past."

"As for the old laws of the fifth level scenario."

Wen Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Don't rush."

"Once specified, it cannot be changed."

"And this Old Law applies to the entire Old World, so it certainly needs to be carefully considered."

Su Ming nodded, unable to suppress his curiosity any longer. He leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Sister School Beauty, Yu Mengnian's dream bomb?"

Seeing Su Ming's curious expression, Wen Qi raised her eyebrows and smiled gently, then reached out and pinched his earlobe.

"I was just curious and wanted to see what your choice would be?"

"Whether you agree or not, it doesn't really make any difference."

"The descent of the gods was brought about by Yu Mengnian."

"Even if you don't end her, they will still take action and will never allow the Flesh Mountain Range to grow unchecked."

"And when they take action, they will surely eliminate this threat of Yu Mengnian from its root."

"At that time, Yu Mengnian will disappear completely, leaving no trace."

"And her becoming your nurtured character is her only chance of survival."

Wen Qi explained it very clearly.

This is why Wen Qi said in 2003 that Yu Mengnian's doomsday priority was the lowest.

Because regarding her doomsday, even if Su Ming leaves it alone, they will handle it themselves.

"Besides that," Wen Qi added, "as far as we know, they know everything that has happened in the past, present, and future."

"That is precisely why they are not afraid of the threat posed by Yu Mengnian at all."

"The descent of the gods requires a long process; if they are allowed to grow unchecked, it will indeed threaten them."

"But this is the most unlikely future to occur, and they will never allow it to happen."

"The dream bomb I just mentioned is only theoretical; it has no possibility of being realized in reality."

Su Ming frowned slightly.

He had a feeling that Wen Qi's words just now had some other meaning.

He even suspected that Wen Qi knew what choice he would make.

She seemed quite satisfied with her choice.

"Stop overthinking."

"Come on in." Wen Qi led Su Ming into the room.

Everyone sat around the dining table.

They've been quite busy lately and haven't had a proper chat about the 2019 doomsday scenario.

In 2019, Su Ming briefly became one of them.

After returning to the human world, they will naturally retain many memories of them.

Well...

Su Ming first scratched his head: "With the human mindset and cognitive limits, many unknowns are completely incomprehensible."

"I did understand when I briefly became them."

"But after I returned to being human..."

"How should I put it?" He paused for a moment to think before speaking, "It's not that I can't remember, but rather that with the human brain and cognitive system, it's completely incomprehensible."

Everyone can understand this point.

What Su Ming can say now is only the limited content that the human mind can bear and digest.

Many ultimate truths have long been beyond the scope of human understanding.

"Just tell me the part you can understand first," Wen Qi said.

Su Ming nodded, a flash of memory in his eyes: "They have no physical form; they are formless consciousness."

"Without external interference, they will remain in eternal silence, never to awaken again."

"The source of all these changes can be traced back to the ancient times, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago."

"One day in ancient times, a primitive ape-man looked up for the first time and gazed at the starry sky."

"The moment he looked up and gazed at the starry sky, he felt the first curiosity about the unknown cosmos in the world."

"Curiosity gives rise to imagination, and the unknown breeds reverie."

"And this thought, which arose out of nowhere, completely shattered the unchanging order of the universe."

This is a secret that Su Ming learned when he became them.

"Before that ape-man, all life on Earth never had any curiosity about the starry sky, nor did they have any imagination. They always followed the most primitive survival instincts."

"I have seen that ancient era from their perspective." Su Ming's voice was slightly lowered, with a hint of tremor. "Before the birth of imagination, the entire universe was like a stagnant pool of water that had never existed."

"All the stars, all the matter, all the laws, are in their proper places. No one has ever questioned them, and no one has ever tried to understand them."

"All things exist indifferently, without reason, without meaning, and without needing meaning."

The area around the dining table was quiet, and no one made a sound to interrupt.

The truth that Su Ming revealed overturned humanity's understanding of the past millennia and shattered all established rules of the world.

Just hearing about it is enough to shake one's mind and terrify one.

"When the first living being questioned the stars, something that had never appeared in the universe before was born, and it was called doubt."

"Questions breed imagination, and imagination gives rise to infinite possibilities."

"And so at that very moment, for the first time, a change occurred in the eternally unchanging and absolutely still universe."

Su Ming sorted through the chaotic high-dimensional memories, trying to describe this change in language that humans could understand.

"I don't know how to describe it accurately."

"Let's explain it using a game."

"The universe in the past was like a fixed single-player game, with only one version, unchanging since time immemorial, never updated or changed."

"But once imagination and questions arise, this game begins to iterate and update endlessly, giving rise to countless unknown directions."

Wen Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked softly, "Parallel universes?"

Su Ming shook his head: "No."

"There is only one universe, and it is constant and unchanging."

"The only thing that changes is the direction."

"When a game starts updating, it's destined that one day the game servers will be shut down."

"In the beginning, their world was constant, still, and perfect, without variables, and without past, present, or future. Everything flowed eternally along a predetermined path."

"But imagination is different; it's a variable that comes out of thin air."

"It is also the first time in the entire desolate and cold universe that something has come from nothing."

Wen Qi paused slightly, then asked again, "So, they were disturbed?"

"Yes." Su Ming nodded frankly.

"Besides imagination, the seven emotions and six desires of humans and all living beings are also knowledge that they cannot understand."

"In the cold and desolate cosmic order, there should be no warmth, no emotion, no obsession."

"Compared to the vast and cold universe, the tiny blue planet is like a bug that was born abruptly, a heretic that breaks the eternal order, and an error that should not exist."

"Even birth, aging, sickness, and death are concepts they only learned about after encountering living beings."

"And so, some of them who were asleep were awakened."

"Initially, it was just a very faint ripple of consciousness that landed on Blue Star."

"They were just curious and wanted to observe why such strange variables would arise on this tiny planet."

"But living beings reproduce, emotions spread, imaginations are passed down through generations, and memories are inherited."

"Generation after generation of humankind accumulates knowledge, piles up imagination, and intertwines love, hate, anger, and infatuation, with countless tiny variables constantly converging and growing stronger."

"Over time, more and more dormant supreme consciousnesses are awakened."

Su Ming took a deep breath and continued.

"Until 1996, the accumulation of thousands of years of human civilization reached a critical point."

"The emotions, imaginations, obsessions, and thirst for knowledge of countless people formed a torrent of consciousness powerful enough to penetrate everything, completely touching their bottom line."

"Thus, their cleanup mechanism was triggered."

"To thoroughly clean up errors and eradicate heresy, we must first understand the variables."

"Only by fully understanding everything about humanity can they achieve the ultimate cleansing, eradicate all hidden dangers, and restore the universe to eternal order."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence.

Everyone was shocked by Su Ming's remarks.

They never imagined that, in their eyes, humans were the ones who should not exist, the errors and heretics.

They, however, are the normal products of the universe.

The birth of humankind, and the thoughts and emotions of humankind, disrupted the ancient balance of the universe, thus triggering their cleansing mechanism.

But Su Ming's next sentence was the most suffocating sentence for everyone.

If these words were to reach the ears of the people of Earth, even the most resolute among them would be plunged into endless despair and collapse.

Su Ming said, "They cannot be defeated."

"The price of destroying them is the same as the price of destroying ourselves."

"Because they are right."

"We are the mistake that should not exist."
