"in the end……"

"Why exactly?"

Zhou hope murmured softly.

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the spiritual world beneath her feet.

Click!

Something is emerging.

Xiongbo Nuomian's consciousness suddenly jolted.

It was discovered.

"Hehehe! I've found the flaw. Your inner demon isn't that human."

"But..."

"A choice you yourself are unwilling to face!"

On the other hand, it is well known that the spiritual world of extraordinary individuals is essentially built upon the subconscious mind.

and so.

This place stores everything Zhou hope has experienced, including those memories that were deliberately isolated.

The human brain has a protective mechanism.

[Memory protection mechanism]: When encountering unbearable pain.

The brain does not actually erase memories.

Instead, it is sealed away and placed deep within the subconscious to prevent a collapse at the conscious level.

However, these memories do not disappear; they can re-influence a person through dreams, emotional flashbacks, physical reactions, inexplicable fears, and so on.

Now, Xiongbo Nuomian has done something crazy.

It forcibly pried open the lock deepest in Zhou hope's subconscious.

boom!

Fragments of memory surface, and time seems to begin to rewind once again.

Three years ago.

At that time, Lynn's sequence had not yet been sealed.

It was at that point in time that Zhou hope was reborn.

"..."

confusion.

This was the first emotion Zhou hope felt; an immense amount of information forcefully flooded in.

The pain of death in the previous life, the despair of the destruction of civilization.

The future of this guy becoming an evil god, scenes of countless deaths...

All of this impacted me at that time.

However, Zhou hope had not yet awakened his sequence at that time.

She wasn't the current Nuwa; she was just a little girl who had just been reborn.

With weak mental strength, it is simply impossible to withstand such a massive amount of data.

then……

The brain gradually begins to activate its self-protection mechanisms.

Just then, that voice appeared, a voice that was both rational and gently seductive.

【Savior……】

To save the future, the master of potions must be sealed away.

Again and again, it repeats endlessly, like some kind of inescapable murmur.

"To save the world."

"To avoid the future."

"The Lord of Potions must be restricted; his power must be sealed."

A girl who has not fully accepted her rebirth memories carries the weight of her past life's destruction and the fear of her future brother becoming an evil god.

In addition, the salvation system repeatedly induces them.

that moment.

Can she still make the right choice?!

Meanwhile, the salvation system continued to speak.

Are you tired?

"Savior..."

"Leave everything to me; there's no need to think, no need to suffer."

"There's no need to struggle anymore."

"All you need to do is..."

"Believe in the salvation system!"

That voice was as gentle as a mother's, yet as cold as an abyss.

"seal."

"Once it's sealed, everything will end, all the noise... will disappear."

"Savior."

"You're already very tired."

"The rest... I'll take care of it for you!"

The next moment, the options appeared.

Should the seal be executed?

Zhou hope looked at the choice, and the image of herself in her memory instantly showed resistance on her face.

"No……"

"don't want!"

Zhou hope shook his head frantically, his eyes filled with unease.

Why?

"System! Tell me why you absolutely must seal my brother away?!"

"He didn't do anything wrong! The future hasn't happened yet!"

"I can change!"

She reached out, wanting to close the option, wanting to refuse.

"I can't..."

"Personally hurting my brother!!!"

But it was too late.

because……

Human consciousness is not always able to fully control one's body.

Especially when one's mental state is on the verge of collapse, especially after experiencing the memories of death in a previous life.

That instant.

In his memory, Zhou hope's body instinctively reached out his hand.

Although her fingertips did not touch the option, from an observer's perspective, she had already made a choice.

boom!!!

In an instant, the blue light of the Salvation System flashed.

But the next second, the light changed, turning from a gentle blue to a cold red.

Host selection behavior detected.

[System confirming...]

[Ding! The Savior has made his choice.]

Zhou hope's pupils suddenly contracted.

"No!"

"Wait! That's not it!"

"I'm not..."

However, the system did not respond, only displaying the pre-set message.

[Execute the salvation plan.]

Target locked.

[The sealing of the Potions Master sequence begins...]

the other side.

Three years ago, Lynn was completely unaware of what was happening while he was asleep.

He has no idea what the future holds, nor what his adopted sister is going through.

With the arrival of an unseen force, the [Lord of Potions] sequence was successfully sealed.

Meanwhile, Zhou hope, in his mental world, was completely frozen in shock at the sight.

"No……"

"impossible……"

"I clearly... I clearly wanted to refuse at that time..."

The next moment, immense pain surged in, and Zhou hope at that moment was simply unable to withstand such a huge mental shock.

Rebirth, the future, death, a mission to save the world, the guilt of sealing his brother's power with his own hands... all these things are mixed together.

The brain begins to activate its protective mechanisms!

[Memory isolation, blocking painful information, reducing cognitive conflict...]

At the same time, the subconscious mind, in order to avoid brain damage, is further aided by the loading and persuasion of the salvation system.

A new idea slowly emerged, initially just to comfort myself.

"...It's not my fault, I...I did it for my brother."

"right……"

"I did it to protect my brother!"

This thought repeated itself again and again until it finally became an unbreakable belief.

"If we don't seal him, my brother will become an evil god; if we don't restrain him, my brother will die."

"so……"

"I am right! The world needs order, not a potion master!"

"Not to mention it was sealed by the Salvation System!"

However, as time went by, this idea began to change.

Protection gradually turns into control, and fear gradually turns into constraint.

like!

Gradually distorted...

"As long as my brother is safe, that's all that matters."

"Sequences and stuff..."

"unnecessary."

"Danger and all that..."

"unnecessary."

"The future... I'll decide that for you!"

At that time, Zhou hope did not know that she did not distrust Lin En.

Rather, she was too afraid of losing Hajin, afraid that the ending of her previous life would happen again.

Therefore, her mind was as innocent as Ao Yao's when she was invaded by the sponge worm, and she chose the simplest method.

Eliminate all possibilities in advance.

And now.

Standing here again, Zhou hope saw the whole truth.

Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually lost their light.

"..."

"So...that's how it is?"
