Chapter 4358 Promise
Ji Xiaoyan didn't understand why Guang valued her so much.

She didn't know why those mutated beasts also valued her.

Now she only has two paths before her: either agree to stay in the game world to maintain the passage, allowing free movement between the game world and the real world, enabling the natives to go to the real world, pilot mechs to help the Federation's humans repel the attacks of the mutated beasts, gain an absolute advantage in combat, and even achieve peace.
Another way
She might not even be able to leave the game world, and would have to watch helplessly as the real world becomes a paradise for mutated beasts!

Is there a choice?

Not at all!
In those few seconds, Ji Xiaoyan even felt that Guang might be exaggerating and trying to coerce her into agreeing to its proposal!
But, can she refuse?

She simply had no chance to refuse! In the game world, she was the city lord of Qingcheng, and so many native inhabitants were willing to help her. But in the current situation in the real world, none of the native inhabitants could offer any assistance! Unless, she stayed in the game world!
There's no third way!?
"You only have these two choices!" Guang's voice was filled with unwavering certainty, waiting for Ji Xiaoyan to make her decision.

"If possible in the future, will I be able to go back to the real world to take a look?" Ji Xiaoyan's throat tightened, and her voice became hoarse and painful.

"Perhaps, you can be like the other natives?!" Guang paused for a few seconds, then offered Ji Xiaoyan a glimmer of hope with sympathy. "However, your body is irreversible. You can only go to your real world by finding a 'container,' just like the other natives."

"Besides, you can't stay here long, otherwise the passage will collapse!"

"Do you get me?"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded; she understood.

"So, Light, if one day you wake up from your slumber and have eliminated the Federation's mainframe or other dangerous elements, can I hand over the maintenance of the passage to you then?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no!" Guang sighed, looking at Ji Xiaoyan with pity. "The future is unknowable, Ji Xiaoyan! I can't assure you about things I don't even know myself."

"But you can look at it on the bright side! Adventurers from your world all want to live forever in our world. Now that you hold this key, all those spots for immortality will be in your hands. You can obtain the highest power among all humans in your world. Isn't that good?"

You can grant eternal life to those you care about!

"You can be together in this world forever!"

"It's just living in a different world, isn't that worth it?"

"In your real world, limited by your human bodies, your lives are finite; a person may perish in a hundred years. But in our world, you can exist forever! And I, as the supreme god of this world, have entrusted this power of immortality into your hands!"

"Ji Xiaoyan, once I fall into a deep sleep, you will be the god of this world!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Isn't this the greatest opportunity and ultimate power that you humans, and even the Federation's mastermind, want to seize?"

"I'm delivering all of this to you now, what are you still hesitating for?"

Yes, what is she still hesitating about?
Ji Xiaoyan knew perfectly well that Guang was absolutely right, but she still felt that even if she could gain immortality in this game world, it wasn't her world! Even more so, the real world wasn't her world either.

She's not from this world; she's from another time!
She had always believed that once her life in the real world came to an end, her soul would be able to return to her true reality!

But if she stayed in the game world and gained so-called immortality, wouldn't that mean she agreed to imprison her soul in this world?
Does that mean she abandoned her true "original" world?
Is it worth it? !

Is it worth it?
Guang clearly understood that Ji Xiaoyan's emotions were fluctuating at the moment, and the hesitant scales had not stopped, so it waved its hand and switched the scene of the real world, allowing Ji Xiaoyan to clearly see the extent to which the once prosperous Cloud City had been destroyed by the mutated beasts.

Mutant beasts, blotting out the sky, circled above Cloud City, relentlessly attacking the Cloud City floating island, which symbolized the highest level of technology and security for humanity in the entire Federation.

Most of the towering buildings on the ground were easily smashed down by the mutated beasts, and countless building materials crashed down to the ground, cutting through it.
The apocalyptic scene made Ji Xiaoyan dare not look at it for long.

"Your game pod was lost in Mu Chi Yicheng's hands. All the Mu Chi family members have evacuated, but he wants to stay in Yun City to find your stolen game pod. Ji Xiaoyan, look at how many mutated beasts there are in Yun City. Once another batch of mutated beasts arrives, what a dangerous hell the entire Yun City will become. Do you want him to risk his life to get back your game pod and body?"

"Even if he gets lucky and manages to take it back, what about next time?"

"Do you want him to be trapped in this cycle forever? Until these mutated beasts keep attacking one human city after another? First it was Seven Feather City, now it's Cloud City, will the next one be the Thousand Phases City of the Mu Chi family?"

"Even if he is the future heir of the Mu Chi family, how can he not be blamed for repeatedly allowing mutated beasts to breach the city for your sake? How will he live then?"

"Will the Federation ultimately designate him as the greatest sinner in the entire human world?"

Light's words were filled with cruelty: "If it weren't for you, for reclaiming your game pod, the stalemate between humans and mutated beasts wouldn't have been broken so easily!"

"And he, his Mu Chi family, has never revealed that these mutated beasts that destroyed several cities in the human world were because of you!"

"Ji Xiaoyan, how can you be so heartless?"

Can you bear to do that?
Ji Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, her heart filled with self-blame and guilt, which relentlessly lashed at her conscience. All her hesitation and painful self-reproach finally turned into one answer: "I promise you!"

Guang smiled with satisfaction.

"Ji Xiaoyan, remember your choice!"

The light emanating from Guang's body was intense. He didn't seem to want to confirm with Ji Xiaoyan again, but instead extended a finger and placed it on Ji Xiaoyan's forehead.

"You will become the new god of this world—"
