Chapter 419: First World Line

"Lu Yizhan , do you know why I'm taking you into the temple today?" Bai Liu let out a soft laugh with pleasure, "Only those with [God] level desires can step into this place."

"Fang Dian and you are both like that, except that your desires are not evil, and are almost qualified to replace me as the next generation of evil gods."

Bai Liu sighed as if in regret, he raised his hand, and a watery wall separated them from the hanging Fang Dian:

"It's a shame you won't turn into evil gods."

"Then I will have to charge you for participating in the game of evil gods."

Lu Yizhan looked up slowly, realizing something.

Bai Liu smiled and continued, "Lu Yizhan , if you win in a certain worldline, that worldline will continue to run as it did after you won."

"--That is, if by that time Fang Dian had fallen in love with someone and gone so far as to marry him."

Lu Yizhan's eyes slowly widened and tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

Bai Liu said, "Then she will continue to live happily with this person."

"She won't remember you, you're just an irrelevant person who won the game."

"Lose the game, and you will witness her agonizing over the destruction of her beloved's soul in front of her, and you will suffer for her pain."

Bai Liu turned to Lu Yizhan with a smile : "And if you win the game, you will lose her and witness her living happily with someone else."

Lu Yizhan spoke hoarsely, "...... That's the [painful] price you want me to pay, isn't it?"

"You set this up from the beginning, and you made me and Fang Dian pay for it."

Bai Liu smiled downcast and said, "Yes."

"In a sense I am charging every Judge with [pain], but only your soul and Fang Dian's soul has been quenched with divinity in [pain], and the two of you have given me the most valuable pain of all."

"In a sense, actually." Bai Liu sidled over to Lu Yizhan, the smile on his face was light, "I'm curious as to what you would choose."

"Will you continue to try your hardest to win with everything you have, or will you simply choose to lose the game and possess the one you love."

"Henceforth, did you really lose the game because you couldn't win, or was there just a single, despicable thought in your soul that you wanted to lose?"

Lu Yizhan did not speak.

By the time the next worldline began, Lu Yizhan had been in a trance for days, and was injured in a hospital room when Cen Buming ripped him away from one of his heretic henchmen while on a mission.

Cen Buming frowns and clutches his chest at Lu Yizhan sitting on the ward, "What are you doing?"

It took Lu Yizhan a moment to remember that, oh, Cen Buming, the worldline, had been fought over as soon as he landed.

Lu Yizhan used 【Worldline Memory Overlap】 on Cen Buming, directly letting Cen Buming know everything that had happened from the first worldline to the present, he had the memories of the first worldline and the previous worldlines now, this was the fastest way Lu Yizhan knew to get Cen Buming.

Except for what happened at the temple.

Lu Yizhan bowed his head in silence.

Cen Buming raised an eyebrow, "Something to do with Fang Dian?"

Lu Yizhan's fingers curled.

Cen Buming is impatient, "Don't make me torture you with heresy to get you to talk, be honest and talk fast, I'm still busy saving the world, Captain Lu."

Lu Yizhan knew well the character of this Cen Buming guy, he took a deep breath and finally gave a full account.

Cen Buming commented on Bai Liu's behavior with a grimace, "Bitch."

Lu Yizhan nodded sympathetically.

"You nod your ass off." Cen Buming gave Lu Yizhan a cold sweep of his eyes, "And you wondered if you were really despicable enough to not want to win, do you have what it takes to win?"

Lu Yizhan, who was accurately stabbed in the back : "......"

"It's not like doubting myself." Lu Yizhan scratches his head, he drops his eyes, his voice is low, "That time when I heard that Fang Dian and that person were going to get married, and saw that person being burned to ashes because of Fang Dian's love ......"

"Actually, for a moment, as ridiculous as it was, I was really kind of jealous of that pile of ashes."

"Because I'm not even qualified to turn into ashes, I can't ...... go near her."

He's the only one left on the trial.

"So sometimes it's actually hard to figure out whether or not I was affected by that momentary emotion." Lu Yizhan smiled apologetically, "After all, it's already hard enough for a loser like me to win against Bai Liu, and a momentary emotional wobble is enough for me to lose."

Cen Buming also fell silent, then suddenly said in a cold voice, "I'll take a day off to accompany you to Fang Dian of this worldline."

Lu Yizhan's pupils quake, "What?!"

"Emotional choice of such things." Cen Buming coldly swept Lu Yizhan a glance, "Don't you understand it when you see it?"

Day two.

Even though Lu Yizhan was reluctant, Cen Buming dragged him out.

"This world line's Fang team is still in high school, senior year, have a boyfriend." Cen Buming introduced the gossip she had inquired about in a flat tone, "The Fang team chased after someone else, the boyfriend was a school bully, the notorious High Ridge Flower, she chased after him for two months after she fell in love at first sight, the other party didn't say yes, and then she gave up."

"Shouldn't you be studying hard in your senior year! What romance!" Lu Yizhan held back and held back, but still couldn't help but pick up the conversation, "It's how handsome she looks that can make her chase her for two months."

"And didn't she give up, why did she end up being her boyfriend!"

Cen Buming slanted his eyes at Lu Yizhan, "Because the other guy is starting to backtrack."

"The other person seemed to come to her senses, realized that she liked the Fangs, dropped all her bravado and chased them back like crazy for four months, and before the second model year Fang Dian loosened up and said that if the other person's grades could be about the same as hers in the second model year, she could try it out, and the other person began to study like crazy."

"The scores came back and he was only ten points below Fang, the first-place finisher, so Fang Dian agreed."

Lu Yizhan: "......"

Damn it! Why are you suddenly sober!

Lu Yizhan was dragged by Cen Buming to a hill near the school that overlooked the playground inside the high school.

Cen Buming introduced herself coldly, clutching her chest, "I asked around their schedule and the next class is gym, so you should be able to see the squad here."

Sure enough, as soon as the bell rang, Lu Yizhan's back tightened.

He saw Fang Dian, tied in a high ponytail, wearing a fitted white T and gym shorts, white socks a cut above her sneakers, a volleyball in her hand, and a sunny, wide smile.

Lu Yizhan didn't move a muscle, didn't move his eyes at all.

-is smiling Fang Dian.

Dian Fang was walking down the steps when someone seemed to call her name from the playground, she looked back, her ponytail swinging in a brisk arc in the air, and she seemed to see who it was, and the smile on her face grew wider as she handed the volleyball in her hand to the person next to her, her mouth seeming to respond to that person.

She ran up and down the high steps in three bounds, laughing and opening her arms.

Lu Yizhan subconsciously, almost simultaneously with the man standing at the bottom of the steps, opened his arms and took a step forward.

Fang Dian fell into the arms of another.

She smiled happily and sweetly, hugging the boy who had only one back before being lifted high in the air and spun around.

Lu Yizhan slowly lowered his open hands as he stared blankly at Fang Dian.

Cen Buming calmly asks, "What does it feel like? Jealousy so painful that it makes you want to lose the game?"

"It's jealousy." Lu Yizhan's voice was calm, and he smiled, a faint light wavering in his eyes, "But she's happy."

"Seeing her happy brings me more happiness than the pain caused by jealousy."

Lu Yizhan turned his head, "Go back."

His gaze became resolute again, "-even if I'm the only one left, I'll continue."

"Elder brother." Lu Yizhan was walking forward when he heard Cen Buming behind him suddenly shout this, his voice was shallow, "You won't be alone, I'll accompany you to the last worldline."

"Until then, no matter what, I won't admit defeat to Bai Liu."

Lu Yizhan turned back with a smile, "Thank you in advance here then, hunter friend."

Cen Buming looks at the tear stains on Lu Yizhan's face for a moment and snorts, "A prophet who can't move without crying would have to rely on a hunter indeed."

"Don't laugh at me ......" Lu Yizhan helplessly wiped his face and muttered in a small voice, "Anyone in this situation has to cry, right?"
