Chapter 269: Entropy Pool, Soul Solicitation, Order Rebuilding.

The investigation against Lord God 713 continued for almost a month.

During this period, all existing tasks that can be aborted are aborted, and all systems that can be recalled are recalled.

Taking the opportunity, Chi Xiaochi, who was not yet official, visited the entire system, taking on the appearance of a new god.

At first, the systems were a bit overwhelming.

Some of those who love to kiss the old master's ass and act as accomplices to the tiger are all silent and fearful of the "new master's god" making a big purge against their past behaviors.

Most of the systems, on the other hand, could not even imagine that they had killed so many people invisibly, and for a while they had shut themselves down.

The entire slag tapping recycling system fell into a wan atmosphere of self-loathing.

This is where Chi Xiaochi's bargaining with the General Director comes into play.

Traveling around, he assured the systems caught up in their self-loathing that he could restore the destroyed world line, and that if they really felt guilty, all they had to do was take the new host and do the quest all over again.

Chi Xiaochi also said that in order not to squeeze them, those who are interested in the system can voluntarily submit a petition to continue to serve the system and make up for all the mistakes they made in the past, while those who are in a hurry to go back home can end the mission on their own and go back to the original world just by doing the number of missions at hand.

Both options are free and never forced.

This revitalized the frustrated system, and one by one the pledges and petitions were enthusiastically submitted.

By the time the General Director realizes that the climate of opinion in the entire system is not right, it is too late.

-- Chi Xiaochi has become, invisibly, the new leader of the systems.

Now, it was impossible for the main system that was riding the tiger to even think about not granting Chi Xiaochi the power of a main god.

One day, Chi Xiaochi, who had officially become the new main god, was eating fruit and chatting with copywriter 009 in his room when he received a formal application for departure from 089 to the new main god.

...... He is finally leaving.

Chi Xiaochi was about to get up and leave when she looked across at the doll-faced teenager, "You could have reconsidered."

"What? Being human." 009 blinks, "No, no, no, I don't need to. Here, I can go to any world and eat any kind of food."

After gaining access to the Lord, Chi Xiaochi went through the files of his predecessor, 127.

127 is a child abandoned by his family since childhood, born with a love of food and a dream to eat all over the world, and after his unexplained horizontal death in the first place, it was because he was afraid of the grief of his adoptive parents that he insisted on doing the quest before going back.

Then, after completing 200 quests, he stepped into the "Between the moments", and when he came out, he became the innate System 009.

Chi Xiaochi made a point of investigating, and his adoptive parents have adopted a new child after coming out of the traumatic haze of losing their son.

Chi Xiaochi can't give him back the memories of 009 and the expectations he once had, so he can only respect his personal choices as much as possible, starting from what he thinks now.

Chi Xiaochi sighed slightly as she stepped out of room 009.

Lou Ying, who was with him, stroked his hair.

Almost all of the "innate systems" have lost the motivation and goal of going back to their own worlds, and in the long run, the people who once made them fight for their lives to go back to their own worlds have gradually dispersed into different parts of the world, each with their own lives.

...... They are never going back.

But Chi Xiaochi doesn't dwell on his personal emotions for long, he has business to attend to.

Station 089 is in "a moment".

Without the huge mastermind, the "in a flash" is much more refreshing, jellyfish-like world line floating around several people, dragging a long tail of light, as if they are in the underwater Langyuan.

Chi Xiaochi smiles, "I wish you could stay and help us."

089 waved his hand dashingly, "I've already discussed this matter with him. You guys just need to give him and I back ten years of freedom, and by then, he and I will both be back."

Chi Xiaochi was quick to say, "Okay, how will the salary be paid?"

089 grinned, "He has bad eyes, so when the time comes, please give him a pair of eyes. As for me, I'll just be attached for free."

It's time to teleport.

089 choose to return to their world.

Chi Xiaochi was a little emotional as he saw the portal of light unfolding.

Fortunately, the progress of his last world is fast enough, otherwise, this door will only dismantle 089 into a pile of blank data, and in the main god space, there will only be one more "new innate system" that is mechanically responsible for shaking the sign.

But 089 was in no hurry to leave.

He walked back to the closed door of "In a Flash", knocked, and greeted, "23, I'm off."

Since the old gods stepped down, "in a moment" is no longer a closed and silent can.

But no sound came from outside, as if the person he was speaking to didn't exist.

089 Unconcerned, he gently pressed his forehead against the door and whispered with a smile, coaxing the person he didn't know existed, "Don't feel bad. I like you."

It was still quiet outside, but a soft sound of a sniffle could be faintly heard.

089 said, "I'm leaving. I'll wait for you to come back in our new home."

As 089 was about to turn around, 023 suddenly knocked vigorously on the door outside.

Knock, knock, knock.

Instead, 089 smiled and didn't open the door, but walked straight to the light door.

As he walked past Chi Xiaochi, Chi Xiaochi asked him, "Aren't you going to open the door?"

"He'll yell if he really wants to open the door." 089 said, "That frequency was our code word. His office is too big, and there are times when he's too lazy to get up and walk around, so we use the tapping to convey what we have to say."

He pointed behind him, with a look of tenderness rarely seen in the norm of debauchery: "...... Three knocks on a set means I'll be right there."

At 023's knock, 089 stepped through the door of light, and his form was invisible, never to be seen again.

And the total system's judgment on the Lord God is drawing to a close.

He was convicted of all the crimes he was charged with and was originally to be brought back to the main system for destruction.

But Chi Xiaochi sent a letter to the main system and heard back the next day, allowing him full access to this main god.

So, the next day, Chi Xiaochi took the Old Masters and went to the Entropy Pool, which was located inside the system.

The Entropy Pool is a forbidden place not open to any system below the Lord God.

Since the first day of its formation, not even Lord God 713 had set foot here even once.

Standing at the edge of the pool, the main god who had long ago taken human form and lost his power had messy hair, his face was pale like a ghost, and the area around his eyes was crimson.

Chi Xiaochi ignored the look on his face as he hated to kill himself and said, "Has anyone told you? I intend to use this pool of entropy to make up for the mistake you made earlier."

The main god sneered, not believing Chi Xiaochi's words.

He didn't believe that Chi Xiaochi would be willing to use the soon-to-be-full entropy pool for something as useless as that.

Chi Xiaochi didn't deny him either, just gazed at him quietly.

As time passed, the Lord God's already pale face turned paper-colored by the minute.

He was both shocked and appalled, "Are you crazy? This is my entropy value, mine!"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Correction, it's mine now. I can use it however I want."

To the miser who is miserly in the extreme, it is more painful to take away little by little the treasures he has treasured for years, and use them for a cause which he does not consider of the slightest value, than to cut and bleed.

Ignoring the Lord God's near-mad curses and insults, Chi Xiaochi took a few steps around the pool.

The boundless pool of entropy was filled to four-fifths of its capacity, and the soft, lead-gray substance inside was tumbling like clouds of water, as if it were a giant cauldron of boiling water.

Between the invisible clouds, the outline of a human face struggling and roaring emerged.

Chi Xiaochi: To test the temperature of the water, dip your index finger into the pool.

A sharp growl instantly rang in his ears, loud enough to pierce a normal person's ears and ooze blood.

Fortunately, Chi Xiaochi is patient.

He closed his eyes slightly and whispered something to the force that had wrapped itself around his arm and climbed up, desperate to pull him into the pool and drown him.

Strangely enough, the crying souls quieted down a little, and the python-like clouds gradually loosened from Chi Xiaochi's arms.

Shaking off the little bit of gray cloud that still lingered at his fingertips, Chi Xiaochi stood up and gave orders to the few systems that had escorted the old master god.

"Lock up 713 and dip it in the entropy pool."

"How dare you!" The Lord God's eyes widened, but all he could do was reveal a haggard bluff, "By what right do you?!"

"By the fact that I need to." Chi Xiaochi came around behind him, "Until this pool is empty, you'll be the only source of entropy."

The heavily shackled Old Master God didn't even get to say a word before Chi Xiaochi kicked him from behind into the entropy pool.

The Old Lord God, who was surrounded by human negativity, just entered the Entropy Pool, only to feel that his limbs and bones felt as if they were being burned by sulfuric acid, but he only had time to let out a piercing scream before being pressed down into the tumbling entropy value by a humanoid cloud hand.

No one could have imagined what this pool full of despairing wronged souls would do to this culprit.

Several Master Systems who had long ago received orders from their superiors to pull the chains on the old Lord God burned and cast the chains to the edge of the pool, locking him firmly in place.

Chi Xiaochi looked at the heads floating and screaming in the sea of clouds and said, "You'd better hope that I hurry up and end the mess you've left behind. Otherwise, one more wronged soul will be more torture for you."

As she wipes her hands outside the entropy pool, Chi Xiaochi notices a man standing outside the door.

Chi Xiaochi recognized him.

He was the exclusive AI of Old Lord God 713, a tall, thin, and somewhat nerdy-looking young man.

He was created and raised up by the old Lord God.

For some reason, when the main god was interrogated, he said that the AI was only following his instructions and had done nothing wrong per se, so the total system decided not to hold this system accountable after some deliberation.

...... This AI can be said to be the only so much goodness left in the infinite sea of evil thoughts of the old main god.

As soon as Chi Xiaochi came out, he automatically followed Chi Xiaochi.

Lou Ying on the side frowned slightly, intentionally protecting Chi Xiaochi's side.

Chi Xiaochi, however, was not very afraid of him, "Did you come here to look for me, or for him?"

The AI replied, "To you and to him."

Between the back and forth, Chi Xiaochi had already understood his intentions, "The total system is no longer holding you accountable. Where you want to go is your choice. Are you sure you want to enter here?"

"I don't know where to go other than here Master." The Lord God's AI looked over to where the Entropy Pool was, his eyes clearing, "...... This is the place then."

Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything, but a system from the main system spoke up and advised him, "Why bother."

The AI said, "I am the rib of my master. The rib will not betray the master."

Chi Xiaochi stared at him, "Fine, go ahead then."

The door that had just closed reopened and a figure slowly paced in, blending into the mist and the muffled screams of the old Lord God.

The reign of the old Lord God was thus brought to a complete and utter end.

What followed was a long and boring year and five months.

Chi Xiaochi organizes all the world threads that need to be restored and instructs the system on how to assist the host in completing the task, and if there are any difficult world threads that cannot be handled, they can report back to "In a Flash" and ask for a solution.

At the same time, he issued a new order to open up the system's self-awareness system and limited-send intimacy ability, and any system with a related need could come to him in pairs to go through the ability opening procedure, but the number of openings was limited to two, and applicants were urged to be careful.

Still, Chi Xiaochi is too busy to have sex.

Only in the evenings, when the busyness stops, does Chi Xiaochi have time to nestle in Lou Ying's arms for a while, to recharge his batteries, or to hold his hand and talk to him.

After more than a year, the new order that operated within the main god space was finally on track.

So Chi Xiaochi took his leave.

According to Chi Xiaochi's original agreement with the Master System, it was time for Chi Xiaochi to take a vacation, return to the present world, and retrieve his true body.

Chi Xiaochi could only move his fingers with all his strength as his spirit slowly descended back into the hospital bed, into the frail body that had been asleep for more than four years.

Good thing he was patient enough.

The first thing that came back was hearing, and the sound was a little hazy, like the sound of the outside world heard through the wavering water when a person with his breath closed is immersed in it.

The TV in the hospital room was on and it appeared that an awards show was in progress.

"Next is the most exciting moment. Who will the best male lead actually go to. Please ask Huang XX to open the envelope ......"

Chi Xiaochi frowned.

He couldn't hear the voices on the TV very well and wondered who would be watching TV in his hospital room.

Before he could clear his mind, the annunciation came from the television.

"Congratulations Chi Song!"

"And congratulations to the cast and crew of Postponed Graduation, who have been delighted to win three awards tonight, winning Best Screenplay, Best Film and Best Actor!"

"Chi Song's portrayal of a rural teacher in 'Postponed Graduation' is so delicate and moving that it has moved countless viewers ......"

Slowly, the sound cleared, and a soul submerged in water gradually surfaced to take its first breath of air so fresh it screamed vertigo.

The light poured in, as did the shadows, and the figure sitting on the edge of the hospital bed emerged with a concrete appearance.

...... Lucas.

Lucas was still dressed in his usual way, with his hair a little long and dyed granny gray, and the bright lamps in the single room made his white face glow.

He leaned against the arm of his hospital bed, peeling a small slice from a pear and bringing it to his mouth as he watched the awards ceremony on television.

"See?" Luca chewed on a pear and spoke vaguely to the man in bed, "Newcomers are growing like leeks a Bo Bo, you're the front wave that's about to be lapped to death by the rear."

The man in the bed, as on each of his visits, was as motionless and silent as ever, and would not rise to any response to anything he said.

Lucas was a bit discouraged and slapped him on the edge of the quilt despite the pear juice still on his hand: "Ji, do you hear me? If you can hear me, you'd better get some energy and hurry up ......".

As he spoke, Lucas turned his head.

What caught his eye was Chi Xiaochi's narrowed eyes and the gentle light that shone underneath them.

Chi Xiaochi opened his mouth, his throat dry and his vocal cords like rusty clockwork.

By rights, he should not be able to say a word.

However, the power of the Lord God was still enough for him to make this bit of unorthodox adjustment.

Facing Lucas, whose mouth opened and closed, Chi Xiaochi, with a smile on his face, opened his mouth in a hard voice: "When have I ...... not fought for you?"

Lucas rolls a pear bone dry in his hand.
