"?"

The girl was stunned.

These words are by no means something that should exist in my understanding.

what is this?

Is it a prank by some unknown deity?

She even seemed a bit more energetic because of it.

The girl carefully observed the words in her field of vision, and soon she realized that they seemed to be guiding her to make some choices.

She saw the changing shapes of the rubble and gravel on the ground, forming indifferent and cold words.

[Start Setup]

Choosing a Career

In a way that a young girl could understand, many options spread out on that ground.

Some are easy to understand, such as [warrior], [scholar], [teacher], etc., while others are completely incomprehensible, such as [director], [detective], [magician].

The girl flipped through the text, but still didn't know what it was trying to tell her to do.

She eventually chose one.

[Traveler].

For the girl now, what she wants is to leave this place, to leave this already destroyed world.

Soon, the text changed, and three doors appeared before her eyes.

Just like this young girl, in countless exotic lands, silver threads connect these people together.

Survival, destruction, reunion, separation—in the script constructed by Lu Ban, these chosen ones traverse alien realms, completing all the "preparations."

Fortunately, Lu Ban now has enough time.

After an unknown amount of time, the last rays of the setting sun faded from the ruined capital, plunging the entire world into darkness.

Before Lu Ban, words appeared continuously on the illusory book, the pages moving without wind, as if automatically recording something.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Lu Ban looked up and saw the [Dark One] standing there. He didn't seem embarrassed at all; on the contrary, he appeared calm and elegant.

"I must say, you are more talented than that woman in this respect."

"The Man of Darkness" said, glancing at the illusory book in Lu Ban's hand.

Just now, Lu Ban trapped Him with a "story".

This is a rather ingenious technique, because if Lu Ban simply teleported the [Dark One] to another realm, then as the incarnation of the God of Gods, the [Dark One] could immediately travel through the other realm and return to the ruined capital.

In reality, Lu Ban did not teleport the [Dark Man] away; he simply wrote him into the "story."

In this situation, the "Dark One" will experience the world created by Lu Ban. If He is unaware of it, He will have no way to leave, because no matter how the "Dark One" travels to other realms, He is merely wandering in the "story" woven by Lu Ban.

Of course, in terms of rank, Lu Ban may not be as good as the "Dark One," so such a predicament can only affect Him for a few hours, which is insignificant compared to the long life of the God of Gods.

"Now, what else do you want to do?"

The Man of Darkness asked.

Lu Ban shook his head.

"I have accomplished what I needed to do."

He put down his pen.

Chapter 950 The Piper

What Lu Ban needs to do is very simple.

That is to incorporate the past, present, and future—all of history—into one's own "story."

When the words on the virtual pages solidify into a physical form, these become unchangeable "ironclad rules."

Outside of the "story," Lu Ban can become an outsider who overlooks the whole situation, truly stepping out of the script and becoming a being similar to a god above gods.

Therefore, Lu Ban recruited all sorts of chosen ones in the form of the Silent Land, allowing them to travel between various alien realms, to the most crucial nodes of those alien realms, to experience, to witness, and to change.

To restore those foreign lands that might have gone astray to their original state.

Just like a film reel isn't continuous, it's just a painting of twenty-four frames per second.

The same applies to the history of other realms. At specific points in time, major events will occur that can significantly impact the development of the entire realm. As long as these events are impacted and solidified, the development of the entire realm will not deviate significantly.

Just like a film reel, modifying just a few frames can lead to a completely different story.

Sensing a strange aura, the [Dark One] gently grabbed with his left hand.

In mid-air, black threads tangled together.

These black threads also extend into the void, connecting countless alien realms.

Like a fish-man swimming in an endless abyss.

Like the turbulent atmospheric life at the top of the swirling clouds.

Like a villain under the endless twilight.

Countless alien creatures were drawn into the alien realm by these black threads, and, following the will of the [Dark Ones], they began to alter the alien realms that Lu Ban ventured into.

Some people wantonly slaughter and cause destruction, some people commit fraud and deception, causing disputes, and some people plot and scheme, leading others astray.

The contest between the two lasted only a moment.

But for these chosen beings from other realms, millions of years have already passed.

The Man of Darkness sighed. He didn't have to go through all this trouble, but it was indeed the consequence of his own playful nature, and he gladly accepted this outcome.

Moreover, this is an interesting development for Him.

He took a step forward.

Are you sure you want to do this?

The deep, magnetic voice of the "Man of Darkness" resonated in the air, like a ghostly temptation, bewitching the heart.

"You have reached the other side of immortality, yet you try to deny it all. You should know that countless people spend their entire lives, giving up everything, just to climb to where you are now."

Lu Ban did not respond and remained silent.

"You still have so much happiness, yet you don't enjoy it. What's the point of destroying all of this for you? Even the people you cherish most will be destroyed by your actions."

The Dark One approached Lu Ban's table, leaning slightly forward, and spoke in a slightly threatening tone.

"What's the point of all this?"

Lu Ban met the gaze of the handsome, dark-skinned man in a suit. He knew very well that his actions had indeed made the other man feel threatened in some way.

The Dark One inherited most of the original's personality traits, yearning for chaos and advocating pleasure; a true entertainer.

In most cases, people who enjoy life are unlikely to break down. They will watch others' joys and sorrows with a smile, without feeling sorry for disasters or immersing themselves in joy. In their eyes, everything is just a toy to make them happier, something they can take indifferently.

Unless, of course, it actually happens to me.

A person who enjoys having fun might applaud and even create some hilarious jokes when they see tragedies happening to others, but if the same thing happened to them, they probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

For the "Dark One," He possesses enough power to travel beyond time and between different realms. The only threats to Him are those few beings of the same level as His true self, and the supreme beings.

But these beings are themselves in extreme pollution and will not pay special attention to His actions. Therefore, the whole world is just a toy to Him.

But what Lu Ban is about to do now is the ultimate act of overturning the table.

He will turn everything into "stories" and recite them to that supreme being.

Like a piper playing in the deepest, most majestic temple in the universe.

When He awakens, everything here will vanish into nothingness.

When He falls asleep, a new world will be born.

No one can escape the destruction that occurs in between.

Unless, of course, Lu Ban's story can influence that supreme being.

Like a fairy tale told to someone in their sleep, it may not actually affect their dream, but it will always leave a trace after they wake up.

Lu Ban tells just such a story.

That's why these stories must have a perfect ending.

That is why the "Dark Ones" want to hinder Lu Ban.

Whether He is in the story or not, whether He can become a lingering thought after waking up, at that time He will no longer be Himself.

When something funny happens to you, even the most clueless person will break down.

After all, He is just an incarnation, not the original being.

If it were that person, they might also find it interesting and accept it with great enthusiasm.

From this perspective, Charlotte has indeed inherited this trait, even using her own misfortunes as a pawn.

"significance?"

Lu Ban countered with a question.

"I used to know some people."

He began to speak.

Now, Lu Ban is facing the "Dark Ones".

Madness could no longer change him, distortion could not stop Lu Ban's actions, and even chaos could no longer erode him in the slightest.
