A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

I wonder if anyone has heard the story of the fisherman and the devil.

The demon was imprisoned in a bottle, and for the first thousand years, the demon swore that whoever saved him would be given endless gold and silver treasures.

The second millennium demon swore that whoever saved him would become king and possess supreme power.

The third millennium demon swore that whoever saved him, he would kill that person.

Gao Tian didn't understand before, but now, standing in this corner, he called out to the system for a long time, his expectations gradually turning into anxiety, and finally into gritted teeth, directly empathizing with that demon.

It's not surprising, it's not surprising. Anyone who waits three thousand years will become abnormal.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll think you've run away—" Gao Tian grabbed the light orb that the system had conjured and shook it violently.

I don't know where the system's neck is, so pinching its stomach is the same.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—!" the system squealed like a pig after being choked. "Smash the ball—"

Gao Tian held on for a long time before releasing his world consciousness and asking, "Can I give my two spots back to the 21st century to someone else?"

Then the world consciousness fell silent.

"Speak, speak, speak! Don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you're home!" Gao Tian continued to shake it fiercely with a menacing expression.

"Oh dear—this is difficult—" World Consciousness drawled out.

Gao Tian went to pinch it again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes—" The ball was pinched in the stomach and turned into a screaming chicken.

Stop fighting! A player's life is a life too! It's just giving someone else a time-travel spot! It's yours anyway, give it away if you want!

I can't feel comfortable if I don't play pranks.

Gao Tian then let go, letting the ball run away in a panic.

The ball of light drifted dejectedly to a corner, its intense glow mingling with the cricket's silent chirping: "You unfilial son! You unfilial son!"

The originally heavy atmosphere was thrown into chaos by the useless system.

Gao Tian's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Great! There's hope! The world's consciousness has agreed. Mr. Qi and the others will have a new home.

They will not die, nor will they vanish as if they had never existed. Instead, they will have the opportunity to be reborn in another time and space.

He has never been able to face President Qi and Brother Gao Xing directly.

Although Xiao Gaotian's death was not his fault, he used Xiao Gaotian's body but could never treat President Qi and the others as his real parents.

No one else knew about Xiao Gaotian's existence except him. He simply couldn't bring himself to face the unconditional affection that Gao Xing and President Qi had for their child.

President Qi and Brother Gao Xing probably sensed it too, which is why they took the initiative to keep their distance from him. However, Gao Tian couldn't tell President Qi and Brother Gao the reason. He only told them that it was because the child hadn't grown up with them and was a bit distant, but he was very sensible and a good child who never caused them any trouble.

He respected them, cared for them, and always tried to be a good son, always trying to make up for what he had done to them, but some things can never be truly made up for.

Their real child is dead; he is not.

Now, he can finally do something for President Qi and Brother Gao Xing, and he feels a little better about his guilt.

It's possible that President Qi and Brother Gao Xing will never know, but it's enough for Gao Tian to know.

Gao Tian turned to the system and asked, "When can we send President Qi and Brother Gao Xing off?"

The system looked at him: "After they die? Or after they fall asleep? Now is fine too."

Gao Tian was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's do it now."

President Qi is now on his deathbed, and Brother Gao Xing is suffering a fate worse than death. There is no need to make them endure the pain of death again.

Every extra second is torture for them, and prolonging the process is pointless except for adding unnecessary suffering.

Let's send them away now, skipping over this inevitable, cold reality, and moving on to a new beginning full of infinite possibilities.

President Qi, Brother Gao Xing, this world has been too cruel to you. I'm inviting you to start a new life.

"Okay." The system extended a simple line-drawn hand from the round sphere of light and gave an OK sign.

......

As night deepened, the noise outside gradually subsided, and even the so-called city that never sleeps fell silent.

The entire hospital fell silent, with only the on-duty medical staff occasionally making rounds.

Gao Tian tiptoed to the door and saw that his brother Gao Xing seemed to be asleep next to President Qi's hospital bed.

These past few days have probably pushed Gao Xing to his limit. When a person's emotions fluctuate wildly, both their mental and physical strength can't keep up, especially since his health wasn't good to begin with.

Gao Xing's older brother was lying by President Qi's hospital bed, with one hand unconsciously resting on President Qi's arm.

He even held President Qi's hand in his dreams.

At this moment, they looked like ordinary sleeping couples snuggling together, temporarily escaping the shadow of illness and death.

World consciousness, like a gentle breeze, softly blew into their windows.

Enveloped in white light, I quietly drifted into a dream.

The system did not disturb their sleep, but gently enveloped them both at the same time, guiding their consciousness into a peaceful and painless dream.

In the void of the universe, in the embrace of the world, there is no illness, no separation, only the peace of being together.

The power of the world soothed their suffering.

Gao Xing's brows relaxed, and President Qi's deep weariness also softened as he drifted off into a sweet dream.

However, Brother Gao Xing never let go of President Qi's hand.

Gao Tian saw the system grab a small ball of light from both President Qi and Brother Gao Xing.

This must be their soul.

Shedding its two bodies, which were tormented by illness and heavy with sorrow, it revealed its most primal form.

A human soul weighs only twenty-one grams, not much bigger than a billiard ball. The two small orbs of light approached each other, like two newly born spirits, still very ignorant, but already knowing to be close to each other.

The light of the world consciousness softened, enveloping the two small orbs of light.

The large ball of light had two smaller balls of light attached to it, and at first glance it looked like a wind chime with only two ropes.

Gao Tian tugged at the large ball of light and asked the system, "Can I go with them to the 21st century?"

He also wanted to take this opportunity to go back and visit.

He has been away from home for a long time.

Now that the conditions are right, he wants to go and see them settle down in person, and he also wants to see his long-lost hometown under the red flag.

The system is powerful now; handling personal matters is a piece of cake. The system said, "Okay."

Together they escorted Gao Xing and President Qi to the 21st century.

The system also enveloped Gao Tian, ​​enveloping him with its warm power.

My vision blurred, and the scene before me rippled outwards like waves on water before receding into the distance.

They broke free from the anchor point of the current universe and entered an indescribable higher-dimensional space.

The scenery in the cosmic crevice is a dimensional spectacle that cannot be described in words. Time and space lose their meaning here, transforming into a dazzling torrent rushing past.

President Qi and Gao Xing's consciousnesses were asleep, while Gao Tian was awake, protected in the light of the world's consciousness, watching this miracle that humans could not understand.

The more you know, the more you realize how insignificant humanity is.

The light of the world consciousness was extremely strong, and they felt no impact from it, indicating that the world had indeed become stronger.

Gao Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "System, you could actually just travel through time and send them both back twenty years, right?"

Send them both back to the time before the incident at Xiaogaotian, and then stop it all.

But the world consciousness says, "No."

There cannot be two individuals existing at the same time; this is a paradox.

If you send them both back in time, they will disappear from that time.

This would trigger a time paradox.

The past them disappeared, and the present them will naturally disappear as well, and then everything about the two of them will disappear.

"And if they had saved Xiao Gaotian, you wouldn't exist, everything would have changed, I wouldn't exist, I wouldn't have been able to send them back to the past, the entire timeline would have disappeared."

The system calmly explained this cruel truth to Gao Tian.

Time is not independent; it is governed by cause and effect. Cause and effect are things that cannot be changed independently; a slight change in the past can lead to a completely different present.

If the past is changed, the present will most likely cease to exist.

Gao Tian looked up at the colorful torrent of time and sighed.

He understood.

The old saying is true: time is the most irreversible thing; it can never be reversed.

......

Every universe is like a balloon, and there are walls between each balloon.

The world beyond is unknown, but what Gao Tian sees now is like a bunch of balloons of all sizes piled together.

The cosmic wall, simply put, is the energy shield of each universe itself. The friction between these seemingly invisible yet tangible energy shields creates turbulent currents that are a mixture of time and space.

The most chaotic time is when passing through the gap in the cosmic wall. If an ordinary person were to accidentally enter this place without the protection of the local world consciousness, they would be swallowed up by the chaotic world currents in an instant.

However, the World Consciousness, now brimming with confidence, patted its chest and said to Gao Tian, ​​"Don't worry, Mom is powerful now, I won't let you be taken away."

As expected, the system's protective shield was impregnable. No matter how strong the chaotic turbulence was, they remained completely still within the spatial turbulence, feeling no impact whatsoever.

The strength of one's world consciousness is directly linked to the stability of the world. Right now, their world is as stable as a rock and as immovable as a mountain.

In a daze, Gao Tian seemed to see some hallucinations. Some bubbles, like those that had burst open and were escaping, turned into white particles of light at the bursting point and gradually dissipated into the air.

Gao Tian thought he was seeing things: "Those are...?"

"Those," the World Consciousness glanced at them and said sympathetically, "aren't those the worlds that are about to be destroyed?"
