The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"I need to know everything!"

Jin Shengfei stepped forward directly, his eyes red, and he clenched his hands tightly, as if trying to press the completely intact "Miao" character into his bones and blood.

Tears slowly streamed down his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can feel that she is an extremely important person to me. I don't know why I forgot her, or what happened, but after seeing her with my own eyes this time, my body... my soul, everything about me is telling me this."

"I absolutely cannot forget her!"

"Even if it means being erased, even if it means losing everything I have now, I will find this memory, I will find out what really happened!!!"

Jin Shengfei's voice was firm and resonant, each word as full and emotional as if it were filled with blood. A surge of sorrow and urgency filled his chest, allowing him to speak these words without any need for thought or any way out.

Others also stepped forward.

"Our thoughts are the same as his... Even after becoming immortals, we still often feel a sense of incompleteness in our hearts over the years. We can feel that one of us is missing... the most important person is missing."

"We can still feel that it is because of this person that we are where we are today, that we have achieved what we have today."

"People don't want anything, they just want to live their lives with clarity... to possess everything in a muddle and enjoy the fruits of others' labor... that's not what we want."

"We must know the truth!"

These people have clear minds, reflecting only the unity of knowledge and action.

Gou Shi was also somewhat moved.

He recalled that when the man made the decision, he asked, "Aren't you worried that they might fail? Or that they won't choose you at all, given their current position and power?"

Even if they don't choose Chi Miao, nothing will happen to Chi Miao. He said those things on purpose to anger Chi Miao.

But Chi Miao smiled and looked at him: "No, no matter when, no matter if they remember me or not... they will always choose me."

"The reason I can befriend them is not because they are particularly talented, nor because they are outstanding in any particular field. The reason I can befriend them, from beginning to end... is because of their good character."

"They know how to live their lives."

"Everyone thinks my relationship with them is because they follow me... but that's not true. It's mutual. I chose them, and they chose me."

There is no superior or inferior, strong or weak, good or bad.

Simply because, at a certain moment, they chose each other.

And this choice will not change, regardless of the reason.

Even if they have forgotten, even if they are at the top of the world.

But when faced with a choice, they will always choose her.

Chi Miao.

They will always be each other's first choice.

Gou Shi felt a mix of emotions.

"In that case... I understand."

"Everyone, what is about to happen may overturn your understanding, and may even put you in unprecedented danger."

"But please remember one thing... No matter what you encounter, see, or what happens... remember her name. As long as you can remember her name and her past... then she will reappear in this world."

"This world has completely forgotten her."

As soon as the words were spoken, a power beyond this dimension poured into their bodies. Their heads throbbed with pain, but at the same time... they quickly sat down, held hands, and began to circulate their power.

At this moment...

They seemed to have traveled back five hundred years, back to the time before they became immortals.

They both regained their youthful appearance and became teenagers again.

The surrounding area was shrouded in ethereal mist and colorful clouds danced in the air. A colossal tree supported the world here, its branches laden with fruit, each fruit a world unto itself.

They could clearly see where Miaohua Island was.

They could clearly see where the world they lived in was.

What they were seeing truly overturned their understanding and made them feel their own insignificance once again.

"Where...am I?"

"Outside the world".

The voice of Gou Shi System hovered above everyone's heads. His voice was calm as everyone turned their heads to see a large pile of neatly arranged stones.

Each stone is engraved with words.

This looks like...

"The Burial Ground for Immortals"

Yes, a cemetery.

Everyone was taken aback: "A cemetery?"

The Gou Shi System spoke up: "Yes, the Burial Grounds of Immortals. Tens of thousands of immortals are buried here. The beautiful world we have today is a world built with corpses, led by these tens of thousands of immortals."

"And among them was a most unique being, who bore a curse and a mission, step by step reaching the pinnacle, creating a world... Finally, at the moment she learned the whole truth, and knew she was about to be forgotten..."

"She buried everyone, including herself..."

"She spent three whole years, a thousand days, burying herself."

"You need to find her tombstone, find her past, find her... and then bring her back."

When Chi Miao buried herself, she buried not only the "Chi Miao" who once lived on Earth, but also the "Chi Miao" who was about to be forgotten.

She had already made her decision and thought of everything.

Whether she succeeds or not, she will bury herself.

Buried in a place no one knows.

There are thousands upon thousands of such inconspicuous tombstones here, densely packed together, hardly a sight to behold.

The people who came here somehow ended up in front of the same tombstone, a fact they couldn't even explain themselves.

Rong Xuanji crouched down, carefully examining the stone pressing down on her.

"This is……"

The others also squatted down, and at that moment, they were all moved to tears.

Two lines of text are crookedly and poorly carved on the stone.

Despite the delays, Miao Miao can finally return home.

—The Tomb of Chi Miao, the Man Who Ended the Game.

"oh."

"So her name is Chi Miao."

—Author's Note—

If all goes well, it will be finished tomorrow (or at the latest the day after tomorrow). The main story is 950,000 words long, and I will add 50,000 words of extra chapters for everyone. In addition to the ones I have already thought of, you can also suggest what kind of extra chapters you would like to see here.

I currently have a few side stories in mind—

1: Chi Miao's daily life after returning to her position (about a few thousand words)

2: Return to Earth to save Chi Miao (This should be around 10,000 to 20,000 words? Or even longer.)

3: Chi Miao's past before awakening the system in Miaohua Continent. (This part will be a little angsty, but after reading it, you'll understand why Chi Miao later became the way she is.)
