Global Collapse

Chapter 658 A new book with 500,000 words in a month!
007's situation is already very bad.

People in even worse situations than her are probably already in grave danger.

"The world is about to collapse in five minutes. There might not be enough time." The voice on the other end of the phone kept ringing out. "If they die and the world stops cycling, you'll never see them again."

"Actually, I still have the ability to restart the cycle of reincarnation. As long as you lend me one thing, I can restart the cycle with your help. But you won't be affected by the cycle of reincarnation, so even if they die now, you can still see them in the next cycle."

"You've come this far and even have a means of transportation. So you'll have plenty of time in the next cycle, and it won't be long before you find them and take them away with you."

Gu Mian remained silent.

"If you lend me your luck, plus my life, we can restart the cycle of reincarnation..." the person on the other end muttered.

“But will they still be the same next time?” Gu Mian suddenly asked. “If I agree to your request, it means I have to give up the current them.”

"They struggled to survive until now, and even under these circumstances, they did not give up, but in the end, they are told, 'You have been abandoned, and Gu Mian has chosen you in the next cycle of reincarnation.' Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Because you're afraid they'll die, you'd abandon them and choose someone who's less likely to die in the next reincarnation. Do you think I would accept that?"

Gu Mian looked ahead and immediately rejected the suggestion from the person on the other end of the phone.

No, I won't accept it.

"Although they may die, they may die in this cycle of reincarnation, and even if we can never meet again in life, I will not give up on them now for the sake of a happy ending."

"No one should be abandoned, that's my choice."

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time before speaking: "As expected of you, even knowing the ending might be a tragedy, you still made this choice without hesitation. If it were someone else, their choice would probably be different from yours."

"Friends and family members are about to die, and it's very difficult to save them. If you agree to start the cycle of reincarnation, you can save them in the next cycle without risking losing them. But if you don't agree, you will most likely be separated by death and never see each other again. I think in this situation, most people would choose to start the cycle of reincarnation."

This is indeed the best way to minimize the losses.

But Gu Mian would not choose this simple and risk-free path.

Because he knew that someone was waiting for him on another bumpy road.

“Since you’ve made your choice, I won’t force you,” the person on the other end of the phone said. “From this point on, the world will perish. Fortunately, I’ve been here for quite some time and have a fair amount of experience. I will try my best to slow down the collapse. If you successfully rescue the people, you must leave here before the world completely collapses…”

"If the world were to collapse, would it affect the Earth?"

"Yes, the collapse of this world would make Earth very happy."

Gu Mian: "...If this world collapses, will Xiao Qiao be affected?"

"Of course it will. When the lower-dimensional world is completely destroyed, the life born from it will also perish. But Xiao Qiao is someone I created. I am not a derivative of the Seventh World, so as long as I am alive, she will not die, she will only be injured."

"But you should be careful. The guardians of the other worlds are different from Xiao Qiao. Their lives are closely related to their own worlds. If the corresponding world collapses, they will also die."

Gu Mian held her phone: "Since you are not a life form derived from this world, why do you put so much effort into this place?"

He was even willing to risk his own life to stop the world from collapsing. The person opposite him smiled: "It's probably because I've developed feelings for this place, and if the Seventh World were to be completely destroyed, it would also have a devastating impact on other worlds. The collapse here would spread to other worlds, so I will stay here to stop the collapse from spreading."

The destruction of the Seventh World could have such a huge impact on other worlds as well?

"Why would it affect other worlds?" Gu Mian asked.

"Have you ever heard of following the vine to find the melon? Earth has always wanted to eradicate the lower-dimensional world, but it can't find the source of the lower-dimensional world. It only touched the tail of the lower dimension. This is the tail of all the lower-dimensional worlds."

"Our world is like a long vine, coexisting and interdependent. The most straightforward way to eradicate it is to pull out the roots."

"But the earth can't find the root; it only touches the tail. But even if it can't find the root in the lower dimensions, as long as the tail of the vine is lit, the fire will keep spreading, spreading to the source, until the entire vine is burned away."

"Although this method is not as effective as directly shoveling it, it can still achieve the goal. The curse that Earth has placed on this world is that fire, and this curse will continue to burn along the vines until it destroys all worlds."

“I am the obstacle to this fire. I used to rely on reincarnation to stop its spread, but that won’t work now. I can’t stop the collapse of the Seventh World anymore; I can only try my best to stop the curse from spreading upwards.”

The voice paused for a few seconds before continuing, "There are less than two minutes left. You're not close to them, so you won't make it within two minutes."

At that moment, 007 next to him opened his eyes.

The poor animal trainer, who had only been unconscious for a few minutes, forced himself to open his eyes and point the way: "They're ahead."

She just said that.

But 007's mind was already a bit muddled. She was probably afraid that she hadn't said it, so she woke up worriedly and repeated it.

Gu Mian looked at 007, who had just woken up.

The person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really not planning to restart the cycle of reincarnation? If this continues, the only one who might survive in the end is the little girl next to you."

Gu Mian looked into the darkness ahead: "I will not give up on them, no matter what the outcome."

"Alright, I also hope you can stop this cycle, stop them from dying. I've seen them try countless times to live, only to ultimately perish in the darkness of this world."

"I've seen them try countless ways to leave this world, but they've never succeeded."

"After countless attempts, they discovered a new path: self-destruction... After realizing they had no hope of survival, they imprisoned themselves and awaited death."

"Your friends are all very clever. They can always discover the secret of reincarnation and know that their dead selves will become monsters in the next reincarnation."

"To give themselves more hope in the next cycle of reincarnation, they not only imprison themselves, but even break their own legs, rendering themselves immobile. This way, even after they become monsters, it will be difficult for them to harm people in the next cycle."

There's a new book in the world that can write 500,000 words a month! I'm going to write 500,000 words a month too, don't stop me!
Wait, it seems like all five planets are aligned today, I'm going to time travel! Bye!

Thank you so much, Flying Carrot Rabbit, for the generous donation! ╮(￣▽￣“)╭
