Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

When everyone arrived at the Lychee Hotel.

The entire hotel building has been completely renovated.

The Bureau of Abnormalities not only renovated the entire building, but also filled the lobby with fresh flowers.

The warm white light gradually illuminates, giving people a sense of transparency and warmth.

Zhou Zhengyang had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Upon seeing everyone arrive, he immediately stepped forward with a respectful demeanor: "Sir, the banquet hall on the top floor is ready."

He didn't really understand the true meaning of this dinner.

But the way he looked at Su Ming was completely different now.

I don't know if it's awe or envy.

After all, Su Ming was standing in the center of a group of big shots at this moment.

Even Chen Zhiwei and Lin Jiajia, who don't usually like to tidy up, and Yu Mengnian, who always dresses plainly and has the same style, have clearly tidied up.

The top-floor banquet hall is magnificent and elegant.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the city's night view, with lights twinkling and neon signs swirling.

Inside, the windows were brightly lit, filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the round dining table was laden with various delicacies.

Eleven figures stood silently, their gazes meeting, without uttering a sound.

The next instant, the twelfth figure appeared.

Tang Tang, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, appeared out of nowhere beside Su Ming.

Her red veil had been removed, and everyone could see that her gaze was extremely tender and lingering on Su Ming, without wavering at all.

In Tang Tang's eyes, there was only Su Ming; everyone else was unimportant.

The expressions on the faces of everyone present were varied and intriguing.

Yu Mengnian stood on the other side of Su Ming, her usually cold and aloof features softened, as if she had been touched by the warmth of human life.

Wen Qi's gaze swept over the crowd, a faint smile playing on his lips, composed and at ease.

Chen Zhiwei looked at Tang Tang, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes deep and thoughtful, as if she were pondering something.

Lin Jiajia kept her head down, playing with her fingers, occasionally glancing quickly at the crowd before lowering her head again.

Cheng Yao gazed out the window, seemingly nonchalant, but a hint of reluctance and melancholy lingered in her eyes.

Gu Yan and Jiang Qian were on edge, their postures stiff, and they even deliberately slowed down their breathing, showing extreme tension.

Bai Xinglan was unusually normal, no longer spouting nonsense, but her gaze was like a knife, fixed on Su Ming.

Xu Qinghe remained silent, a standard smile on her face.

Shen Wanyu broke the silence first, smiling softly, "Everyone, please take your seats."

"Today's family dinner is not about any particular order or hierarchy."

"It's rare to have everyone here."

Su Ming sat in the middle, with Yu Mengnian sitting right next to him on his right. Following them were Wen Qi, Chen Zhiwei, Lin Jiajia, and Xu Qinghe.

Tang Tang naturally sat to Su Ming's left, with Shen Wanyu, Cheng Yao, and Bai Xinglan beside her.

After everyone was seated, Gu Yan and Jiang Qian chose their seats.

All twelve figures took their seats.

But this dinner had a thirteenth seat.

The thirteenth task is for Tang Tang to personally rescue her from her past.

Su Ming's gaze fell on Tang Tang, and he softly called out, "Tang Tang."

Tangtang nodded.

She raised her hand, her slender fingertips lightly touching the air.

In an instant, a series of ripples appeared in the space.

Ripples spread slowly like water, and a blurry figure gradually solidified.

It is Chi Nian.

The last one to appear.

She has returned from the past.

My memory is still stuck on the day before I was killed by the human-skinned ghost.

When she opened her eyes, she was first confused, and then her pupils trembled violently.

Because she was the only one there who knew nothing.

Wen Qi was prepared for this.

The moment Chi Nian appeared, a strand of black hair entered her mind.

This strand of black hair contained a lot of information, enough for her to understand everything.

After she received all this information, her blank gaze gradually became incredibly complex, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent for a long time.

He took one last deep look at Su Ming, concealing all his emotions in his eyes, before walking to the only empty seat.

The thirteenth person has officially taken their seat.

That is, the very moment the final figure settles into a seat.

A sudden change occurred.

One after another, dazzling pillars of light shot up from all directions of the banquet.

The space around the banquet instantly collapsed and shifted.

next moment.

The vast and magnificent view of deep space replaced the banquet hall from before.

Everyone could clearly see the dazzling Milky Way flowing and churning around them, and billions of stars alternating between light and shadow overhead.

Even the round table around which everyone was gathered has now transformed into a massive, interlocking wheel of light, suspended in deep space.

Twelve towering pillars of light stood tall in all directions.

Five magnificent rings of light crisscross each other.

Like twelve eternal nails, they firmly anchored the halo in the depths of space.

Su Ming raised his eyes and looked up at the vast starry sky.

In that instant, he felt a familiar gaze.

Not only him, but everyone present felt a familiar gaze upon them.

At the same time, everyone heard a distant call.

The familiar voice called out, piercing through layers of time and space, reaching everyone's ears.

Listen carefully.

"Su...Ming...come...back."

"Su...Ming...come...back..."

Immediately afterwards, the calls became sharp and mournful.

"Su! Ming!"

"Where do you want to go?!"

It was Wen Qi's voice.

The voice, like that of a drowning person, uttered its final cry from the bottom of the ocean.

Everyone could hear the extreme fear hidden in those cries.

With the call, the distant gaze vanished.

But Su Ming's vague memories suddenly became incredibly clear at this moment.

He remembered.

He once went to Heng'an Middle School, following his primal impulse to see the world.

His gaze pierced through endless darkness, through icy silence, through the dim starlight.

At the very edge of sight.

He saw a luminous object composed of countless stars.

They are connected end to end.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, five laps.

He also saw huge cloud formations that looked like fingers.

One, two, three... twelve.

What is that?

Su Ming laughed and said, "I saw it, the Olympic rings, and I saw twelve torches."

Wen Qi asked, "Is it the Jade Capital in the heavens, the Twelve Towers and Five Cities?"

It seems they were all wrong back then.

They saw the future, they saw this moment, they saw the Last Supper in the perfect worldline.

But when it comes to dinner...

The dining table transformed into rings of light.

Their last supper was... the Ring of Fate.

The old mandate is dead; a new mandate must be established.

At this dinner, no one would have imagined that what they were sharing was the old Ring of Fate.

When the future is unclear and the ending is unseen within the Ring of Fate, it loses its meaning of existence.

This is the first "He" among them to truly come to an end.

His demise is not death as understood by humankind.

However, the knowledge He carried has lost all value and meaning in its existence.

It was never Wen Qi and her group that killed the Ring of Destiny.

The killer of the Ring of Fate is Himself.

This moment.

Su Ming finally understood that the human definition of time was meaningless to them.

That's just time as defined by humans.

In their eyes, Su Ming's journey from binding with the "Raising Ghosts" system to entering various apocalyptic timelines and arriving at this Last Supper has no particular order.

All stories, all the past, exist and unfold simultaneously.

Past, present, and future are merely meanings defined by humankind.

For them, time does not exist; everything is a unified whole.

At the same time, he also understood the true meaning of system feedback.

As Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, and Tang Tang grow, they will give back their strength.

Conversely, his power will also be returned to Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, and Tang Tang.

However, since the old cycle of destiny has died, this power has lost its meaning.

But once a new life is revived, they will all become carriers of that new life.

The essence of the first four doomsday lines is actually the entire process of the old life heading towards its demise.

Starting from the fifth doomsday line, it marks the beginning of a new destiny igniting.

The variables at this moment are not only for humanity, but also for those who have successively arrived on Earth.

To be precise, they are personified.

Since they are anthropomorphized, they, who should have no emotions, will develop human-like emotions and desires.

They will fight for new life.

No.

To be precise, it is "people" with independent emotions, thoughts, and desires who will embark on a life-or-death struggle that will sweep across the world and overturn everything.

Before the new life ascends to the top, the meaning of them, life, and all things will be redefined.

The world's true time has remained frozen in 1996.

The Ring of Fate descended in 1996, and after only four doomsday lines, it began its self-destruction.

The subsequent doomsday scenario was caused by Shinmei's perspective.

He died in 1996.

The new destiny will finally be born in 2009.
