Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"god?"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

The word Lin Jiajia uttered really surprised him.

He raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples.

He hadn't actually thought about it in that way.

But Lin Jiajia's words today contained a lot of information.

But this is not all that Lin Jiajia knows.

She had observed for so long, tracing the trajectory of fate day after day, and finally waited for the moment when Su Ming chose her.

Therefore, today she will tell Su Ming everything she has observed.

Lin Jiajia raised her finger and pointed it into the air.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

Wen Qi, Chen Zhiwei, Shen Wanyu, Tang Tang, Xu Qinghe—all familiar figures appeared.

However, these figures are from the virtual world.

"Brother Su Ming, look."

Lin Jiajia's voice rang out in the empty illusion.

"From the moment the Ring of Fate descended in 1996, everything in the world came to a standstill."

"All its subsequent developments were merely a pre-defined future trajectory."

In Su Ming's eyes.

A giant ring envelops the entire blue planet.

Then, line after line began to spread from the surface of Blue Star.

Each line is a doomsday line leading to destruction.

Based solely on Su Ming's previous account, Lin Jiajia reconstructed the trajectory of the apocalyptic timeline he had experienced.

Although it's not 100% accurate, it's still over 70%.

Today, she will review all of Su Ming's experiences leading him to where he is today.

"Brother Su Ming, the Doomsday Line is a derivative of the Ring of Destiny's vision, and it is also the beginning of the first cleansing mechanism."

"The true destruction of humanity is never as simple as the physical demise."

"If they want to cleanse humanity, they must first understand humanity."

As Lin Jiajia narrates, the surrounding scenery keeps changing.

One person after another died before my eyes.

Although the physical body dies, the intangible traces of a person's will, memories, and emotions continue to exist in the world.

These deeply rooted human traces are the most difficult to erase.

The cleanup mechanism is really targeting these things.

It aims to completely erase all traces of humanity, rather than simply killing.

"The first four doomsday lines are caused by the gaze of the Ring of Fate, and are also variables beyond fate."

"Chen Zhiwei used her potential to shake destiny."

"This has caused a huge rift in the established order of cleanup."

"Therefore, whenever the gaze of the Ring of Destiny falls upon Wen Qi, it is blocked by Wen Qi."

"Wen Qi used the reverse cause-effect method to merge the four doomsday lines into one, making them a unified whole."

"It was precisely because of this that the original world line collapsed, thus giving rise to a completely new world line."

"The collapse of the original world line meant the fall of the Ring of Fate."

Four world lines floated before Su Ming's eyes.

When these four world lines merged into one, the halo surrounding the blue planet lost its luster.

The next second, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

In the dim light, a curled-up baby gradually appeared.

"This is what you truly look like, Brother Su Ming."

"You are not yet born, you are still in the womb."

"Because you are looking for the perfect ending in your mind."

"Therefore, after the Ring of Destiny fell, the remaining Doomsday Line is actually an extension of its line of sight."

"After returning from the fifth doomsday timeline, you told Wen Qi the story of the perfect world timeline."

"The core message is that the old order is dead and a new order must be established."

"That is, starting from the fifth doomsday line, the universe broke free from the old shackles and stepped into a completely new era."

"From this point on, there is no predetermined ending for either humans or them."

"The unknown is out of control."

"Therefore, they began to frequently descend to earth in anthropomorphic form."

"This is a deadly process."

"We are all both the vessel of the new life and the object of their struggle."

As Lin Jiajia raised her hand, the enormous baby opened its eyes.

The moment it opened its eyes, countless meteors with long tails fell to Earth.

"You've always believed that you have twelve characters to raise."

"You've already decided on these twelve candidates."

Su Ming's pupils contracted slightly.

How does Lin Jiajia even know this?

In the next instant, twelve virtual figures floated in the void, arranged in a staggered pattern.

However, under Lin Jiajia's control, these twelve figures were divided into three rows.

The first row consists of Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, Xu Qinghe, and Tang Tang.

The second row consists of six people: Bai Xinglan, Gu Yan, Cheng Yao, Lin Jiajia, Jiang Qian, and Chi Nian.

The third column contains Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian.

"Brother Su Ming, in addition to their respective order, the twelve nurtured characters also each carry the meaning of a new destiny."

"Look."

"After you awakened the Ghost-Raising System on March 22, 2026, the first four characters you chose to raise were actually people you didn't know and had never interacted with."

Su Ming frowned.

Indeed.

He had never met Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, Xu Qinghe, and Tang Tang before the system bound him to them.

Without the system, they would be strangers to themselves.

Lin Jiajia pointed at Wen Qi and the other three and said, "Because the four of them weren't chosen by you, Brother Su Ming, but by the old destiny."

"They are all unique individuals, possessing irreplaceable qualities."

"Wen Qi can sense their existence through the resonance of their black hair."

"In the eyes of the Time Insect, Shen Wanyu is the most likely being to successfully ascend to a higher dimension and attain His position."

"Xu Qinghe's ability to hear minds is most easily perceived, interfered with, and manipulated by them."

"Tangtang's relationships and beloved ones are the best channels for them to understand human emotions."

After speaking to Wen Qi and the other three, Lin Jiajia raised her hand.

The six people in the second row appeared in front of Su Ming.

"Bai Xinglan, Gu Yan, Cheng Yao, myself, Jiang Qian, and Chi Nian were chosen for you by Xinming."

"Based on the previous four doomsday lines, the destiny that the new life bestows upon us is rooted in your real life."

"Bai Xinglan was your senior in the apocalyptic timeline, and she was the leader of your medical team in 2026."

"Gu Yan is the first friend you met from the Bureau of Abnormalities."

"Cheng Yao and you met in the apocalypse line."

"I interacted with you in 2026 and analyzed the composition of the first layer of the abyss for you."

"Jiang Qian is your classmate."

"Chi Nian is your teacher."

"The six of us appeared based on what you already knew about us."

Su Ming thought about it again.

indeed so.

If we consider the previous four doomsday lines as a whole.

Starting from the fifth doomsday line, these six people were indeed people I knew, and quite familiar with.

But the problem is.

Su Ming looked at Lin Jiajia with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Is there any difference?"

Lin Jiajia nodded: "The difference is that the first four were chosen by the old destiny."

"Therefore, they carry certain established marks on their bodies."

Therefore, the four of them will not be replaced.

"But all six of us could be replaced by them, personified as beings."

Su Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

"you mean."

"Starting from the next apocalypse timeline, apart from Wen Qi and the other three, all six of you may be replaced."

He instantly remembered the last notebook Chen Zhiwei had left behind.

At the time, Chen Zhiwei suspected that if Su Ming's mission in the doomsday scenario failed, the old characters he had nurtured would be replaced, and then the doomsday scenario would be reset.

But Lin Jiajia's guess was even more terrifying.

Even if the mission in the apocalyptic scenario succeeds, the old characters may be replaced by anthropomorphized versions of them.

They descend upon Earth to take lives, and what they take becomes the vessel for a new life.

The foundation of Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, Xu Qinghe, and Tang Tang is already set and cannot be changed.

Therefore, what they are fighting for is the character they will develop later.

"Then, Bai Xinglan?"

Su Ming's heart tightened, and he subconsciously pressed for an answer.

Bai Xinglan was one of these six people.

Lin Jiajia shook her head: "I don't know."

Su Ming pondered to himself.

Bai Xinglan's doomsday line had just finished devouring the old life, determined the carrier of the new life, and ushered in the new era.

The only anthropomorphic harem master who descended was successfully imprisoned by himself.

Therefore, Bai Xinglan was definitely not replaced.

But what will happen on the doomsday line afterward is anyone's guess.

Lin Jiajia noticed Su Ming's worry.

She explained softly, "Brother Su Ming, your understanding of substitution is not accurate."

"Replacement is not possession; we are still ourselves, and our consciousness, memories, and true nature will not change."

"What has truly changed is our form of existence."

"We are no longer truly complete human beings, but rather anthropomorphic forms similar to sugar candy."

"But you'll only know the specifics once you enter the next doomsday scenario."

Su Ming nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later, he asked the last question that had been on his mind.

"What about Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian?"

What's the difference between these two and the previous ten?

Lin Jiajia explained, "They are outsiders to fate because they did not share in the old fate."

"Chen Zhiwei has now ascended to His throne."

"And Yu Mengnian left Earth."

With a raised hand, a scene lasting only a few seconds appeared.

The last moment the image freezes is Yu Mengnian standing on the moon looking back at the blue planet, with the vast expanse of the universe behind her.

The next moment, she vanished.

Su Ming's pupils contracted sharply.

Yu Mengnian actually entered the universe.

Looking back at Blue Star, Su Ming couldn't see a trace of lingering affection, nor could he detect even the slightest emotional fluctuation as a human being.
