"Rustle--" the sound of pen falling.
"In this story, many people are willing to give up their future and stay in the land where they need to overcome difficulties the most."
"That dedicated female knight was at the forefront of the story. However, when I asked her what she thought, she would rather seal the sea of stars in a glass jar and measure the earth with her calloused hands instead, and no longer move forward."
"When her companions lamented her abandoned potential, she smiled and pointed to the daisies all over the hills and said--"
"'These plants, whose roots are deeply rooted in their native land, are weaving the long and deep scars of their stories into yellow flames.'"
"——'Some growth does not need to climb upwards, the roots spreading downwards can also support the entire spring.'"

Time: Week 3
Location: Small World
Characters: Temporary Lord Su Mianbao, Assistant Luna, God Su Mingan
Su Mianbao (rushing over): "Father God...I miss you."
(You noticed that Su Mianbao’s hair had turned gray and wrinkles appeared on his face. You know that the life span of this messenger of God, from the beginning of the small world to today, is not much.)
(You once worried that she would betray you, become ill, and imprison you like a yandere, but in the end you found that this girl never tried to betray you once.)
You: “We’re almost in.”
(Your words were so light, but they seemed to be a resounding declaration of fate, and everyone present was shocked involuntarily)
Luna (with a slightly frosted hair and a look of melancholy and relief): "No problem, everything is ready."
You: "The first batch of players coming in...are they all right?"
(After the first batch of players came in, several more batches of players entered the small world. After hundreds of years of polishing, the speed of time in the small world gradually slowed down, but the initial batch of people...)
Luna (dropping her eyelids): "They... are basically gone. Even with the hibernation chamber, even if we take turns hibernating, it's still too long, too long..."
Luna: "Fortunately, everyone died peacefully, lived a happy life, and was free from illness and disaster."
Luna: "And I... I'm stronger, so I'm fine."
(Her choice to enter the small world was equivalent to giving up her own future. There were no gods or angels here. She had no way to contact the realm of gods, so she naturally could not ascend to godhood and her life span was limited.)
You: “I’m so sorry…”
Luna (smiling): "You know what? The first thing those guys said before they left was to tell me not to feel guilty, otherwise you will definitely have internal conflicts again. Spending a lifetime in such a peaceful world is actually a dream that many people cannot reach. They devote their lives to the development of this world, all voluntarily."
Luna: "The only pity is... they died before you arrived."
Luna: "If I had tried harder, maybe they would have seen you coming."
(The pioneers held the flame, and you could no longer see in which year they fell.)
(The lady looks at you with a silent determination in her eyes.)
(You remembered your first meeting, on the Praia ship, when you had an unpleasant quarrel and she was far less mature than she is now. You could even become enemies, but the possibility of sliding into the abyss disappeared the moment she jumped off the Ninth World train.)
(You are so lucky to have met so many admirable people.)
Luna: "...By the way, I haven't introduced my love to you yet."
Luna: "Come and see."
(You looked over in surprise. Luna has lived here for hundreds of years, so it is normal for her to have a lover. She once liked a girl like Siber, so what kind of person would she like here?)
(Luna takes you through the misty rain of the city. The streets are the usual scenery of Zhai Xing. The traffic lights flicker in the misty water. There is no tension of the world game on the faces of pedestrians, only the tranquility of life. You bathe in the gray-blue sky, tilting the umbrella handle, and staring at the sky in a trance.)
(For a moment I thought you had really returned to your hometown.)
(Luna raised her head, facing the misty rain, and smiled gently like you, pointing her finger to the sky.)
Luna: "My love is out there in the sky."
Luna: "One day, I will definitely meet her."
(You don't know whether she is referring to Siber, whom she has not forgotten for hundreds of years, or whether she is looking forward to a lover she has never met. Or, has she already regarded her lover as her hometown?)
(My hometown outside the universe, that beautiful blue planet. After a hundred years of hard work, looking up, sleeping, and waiting, who has not missed the hometown that can never be returned to?)
Su Mingan: "We will see you."
Su Mingan: "No matter who she is, no matter where she is, we will find her."
(Whether it’s a lover you’ve never met, or a familiar planet mother.)
(It was drizzling, you were standing there holding umbrellas, and suddenly, Luna turned around.)
(You see this white-haired lady with a friendly smile, and her shoulders seem to have been relieved of a burden... Yes, her wait has finally paid off, and you are coming soon.)
(She smiles widely, as if she has achieved some great goal, and speaks to you gently. Her voice is relieved, happy, and peaceful, like a blessing.)
"Su Mingan."
"Welcome home."
……
"Rustle--" the sound of pen falling.
"There are many respectable guardians in this story."
"They are sincere, resolute, upright and great."
"There is a guardian who is very close to me, but I often feel guilty. It was me who brought her into the human world, it was me who became the god she most revered, it was me who forcibly fabricated her soul, and it was me who made her live her entire life for my plan."
……
Time: Week 3
Location: 132F, Central Building
Characters: Su Mianbao, the temporary world master, and Su Ming'an, the god
(You meet Su Mianbao alone, as she drives slowly towards you in a wheelchair.)
Su Mingan (confirming for the last time): "Are there any other problems in the small world?"
Su Bread: "No more, Father God."
Su Mingan: "Yeah."
Su Bread (suddenly): "What does Father God want to do?"
Su Mingan: "Hmm?"
Su Mianbao: "Did Father God forget? I experienced the same emotional resonance as Father God. I can't hide any of Father God's expressions, and I can also vaguely perceive any of Father God's thoughts. Even if I become Father God and live, it will be difficult for others to see the difference."
Su Baomai: "It's something outside, it's not perfect. So Father God wants to fill this gap himself?"
Su Bread: "Father God, will you become one with the world? Will you become the dawn itself?"
(You look at her in amazement, once again painfully aware of her resemblance to you, and it is you who has made her into your exact shape)
Su Bread: "Father God, please allow me to walk with you."
Su Mingan: “Nonsense.”
(You scolded her like a child, and you saw the shadow suddenly appearing in her eyes. At this moment, you suddenly realized that she was still different from you. Because she was controlled by you, but she loved you strongly. She wanted to protect the world and her companions, and to do this she had to maintain her awe and admiration for you. This conflict between love and responsibility made her distorted.)
Su Mianbao (persistently): "You can see that wrinkles have appeared on my face and I need to rely on a wheelchair to move around. I am old, Father God."
Su Baomai: "Yuzhu has been bedridden for several years, and Yueying is also lying in the cryostat. They have aged more seriously than me. We are all dying of old age."
Su Mianbao: "I have completed my mission and have reached the end of my life... Father God, please allow me to fulfill my only and last wish - when you reach the end, please take me with you, let me accompany you through the last loneliest time, and then allow me to perish with you."
Su Mingan: “…”
Su Bread: "Do you remember my birthday, Father God? You never celebrated it for me once."
Su Mingan: “…”
(You have forgotten the day you created Su Bread. You were so busy that you didn’t take her birthday to heart. She is just a part of your little world. There are too many things more important than this.)
(How is your relationship with Su Mian Bao different from that between Si Que and Shi Zhu, Shi Zhu and Qi Zhu? Su Mian Bao loves you more. This is the only difference.)
(The black-haired lady looks at you quietly. Her somewhat cloudy and old eyes carefully depict your face, your eyebrows, your nose, and your unchanging appearance. She has painted your appearance thousands of times, but none of them can compare to you at this moment.)
Su Mianbao: "Can you make this my only birthday wish in these thousands of years?"
(You can't meet her eyes.)
(You cannot respond to her words.)
(Her life revolves around you, lives around you, and dies around you. You can't tell whether her life is based on loyalty, false love, awe and fear of the gods, protection of her compatriots, or more mixed feelings. You know that this fiery emotion is not sincere or pure, but it is very hot.)
(Even if it was false love, she held it carefully throughout her life as if it were a treasure, and even regarded it as real.)
Su Mingan: "...Okay."
Su Mianbao (laughing with relief): "Great...it's finally over."
(She must be in pain, you think.)
(Same as you, and now, you and her are finally over.)
(Then you talked about the small world. She said that Su Jingtang never made any big moves, and Su Qing disappeared one day. You didn't pay much attention to this matter. No matter what secrets were behind it, it didn't matter because you had chosen the conservative path, and you also knew how to sacrifice yourself to achieve the best outcome.)
You left the small world.
(Su Mianbao looks at your back as you leave, holding an umbrella.)
Su Mianbao (murmurs): "...We can finally go to hell together, Father God."
……
"Rustle--" the sound of pen falling.
“Those who do not appear in the epics, those who are not famous, are ready to be forgotten.”
"They are like lantern bearers in the dark night, silently lighting the way ahead, but when dawn is approaching, they find that their palms have been filled with starlight without them noticing."
"Those people they have supported, those souls they have healed, have already engraved their names into this long poem in the most sincere way."

[Story name: "Getting rich overnight by being a salted fish in a world of cultivation where everyone is in love"]
【Creator: Lin Jiang】
[Story categories: romance, comedy, cultivation, lighthearted]
[Story summary: Jiang Yingzhu, a junior sister of Xuantian Sect, found that she had traveled into a novel of cultivation where everyone was crazy about love. Even the disciples sweeping the floor were performing the ethical drama of "you love him, he loves her, she loves the dog". ]
【Jiang Wanwan: Thank you for the invitation. Love-brain is contagious. I will go crazy first as a token of my respect.】
[She is bound to the Anti-Love Brain Get Rich System. As long as she destroys the Love Brain plot, she can exchange it for Spirit Stones. From then on, the salted fish girl embarked on a crazy road...]
……
Time: Week 4
Location: Sword Valley
Characters: Angel Jiang Yingzhu, friend Su Mingan
(When you arrived here, Lin Jiang was counting gold coins.)
Lin Jiang (whistled): "Welcome to the great Su Ming'an. It's been a long time since we last met."
how have you been?"
Lin Jiang: "Huh? You actually came here to care about me? Well, there was a love-brained master who forced me to drink blood, wanting me to become like his white moonlight, so I sold the blood right away, hehe."
(She didn’t mention the most important topic. You know that she founded a welfare fund in the Lord God World to help children whose parents and relatives are not around.)
(You may also know that due to his experience in Baisha Paradise, Lin Jiang opened a psychology course on the forum, specifically talking about the treatment of split personality, saving thousands of people wandering around mental illness.)
(She didn’t say any of this.)
Su Mingan: "Is your illness cured?"
(You remember that she has two personalities, one is timid and cowardly, the other is bold and unrestrained.)
Lin Jiang (raised eyebrows): "Do you think I am normal now?"
Su Mingan: “Normal.”
Lin Jiang: "That's it. To survive in this world, you need a disease that allows you to live a normal life. If I had still been so timid, guess what would have happened to me?"
Su Mingan: "But..."
Lin Jiang (interrupting with a smile): "But I know that the new world you are about to bring us is not as dangerous as it is now."
Lin Jiang: "When that time comes, maybe I will review my illness and try to cure it. But now, let me continue to be a madman, a madman that no one dares to mess with, a madman who is happy in his own way."
Lin Jiang: "Anyway, thank you for everything... I know a lot of reliable mental hospitals and can give you a discount."
Lin Jiang: "When everything settles down in the future, maybe we will become good friends."
