this infinite world

Chapter 1003 Watching the Dawn
"it's all over."

With a "pop" sound, the charred pages in front of Zheng Zha completely turned into ashes, and then under the gaze of Dr. Manhattan, they gradually turned into golden spots of light, drifting towards the horizon and disappearing without a trace.

"I see... it's all over."

Zheng Zha also stared at the scattered light spots for a long time. When all the light spots completely disappeared, he exhaled and asked Dr. Manhattan in front of him: "So, where is Yang Yun?"

"He died. Like you, he also refused the position of the 'protagonist' of this multiverse. In the end, he chose to reincarnate himself and connect the two multiverses again."

The blue giant raised his head and looked at the top of his head. For the first time, his tone was filled with the emotion of "question": "So, what are you thinking in your heart?"

"As for me... I just know that I am not cut out to be the protagonist. Yang Yun is better at saving the world than I am."

Zheng Zha first stretched out his right hand, which was only left with white bones, to scratch his head, but when he felt the pain in his arm, he put it down awkwardly: "The light of his soul is order and life. Just like the captain's certification, he is undoubtedly more suitable than me to be the protagonist of this multiverse."

"...But I think if Yang Yun were to answer this question, his answer would probably be the same as mine."

At this point, Zheng Zha changed the subject and smiled, "Just like me and everyone in our Zhongzhou team will share the responsibility with him, even if I really become the so-called 'protagonist' and have to fight against countless unimaginably powerful enemies, Yang Yun will definitely come to help me."

Hearing this, Dr. Manhattan nodded first, then shook his head. Just when Zheng Zha didn't understand what the other party meant, the blue giant asked a new question: "You don't look surprised or sad to hear this news."

"Hmm...how should I put it? It feels like it's something Yang Yun can do."

Feeling the vague feeling in his heart, and recalling the scene when he merged with another self and bumped fists with Yang Yun, Zheng Zha felt an immense confidence in his heart: "And if it was before, it would be fine, but now, I firmly believe that he will not die so easily."

"It's nothing more than resurrecting him once... Speaking of which, since I still have memories of Yang Yun, he shouldn't be considered dead in the old era, but survived to the new era, right?"

"Indeed."

After hearing Dr. Manhattan's approval, Zheng Zha, who was full of confidence just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, he heard the blue giant in front of him say, "But he didn't have to die this time. The old story represents the past, and the new story represents the present. Between the birth and death of the multiverse, very few things can survive."

“It’s very little, but it doesn’t mean there is none at all… In fact, I have just received a gift from another me, and it is also the most precious gift.”

With a slight smile, Zheng Zha took a deep breath, and then he silently activated the gene that appeared in his body at some point. The next moment, two dragon wings stretched straight up to the sky from his back, and his entire body swelled, no longer in human form...

"The genes of the Demon Dragon Clan... a gift given to me by another me."

Feeling the huge power flowing in his body and the huge information hidden in his genes, Zheng Zha clearly remembered everything he had experienced in his last reincarnation. He raised his head, stared into Dr. Manhattan's eyes, and said word by word: "This is what the other me left for me after Yang Yun's efforts. It is also the proof that we have lived all this time."

"And this is what I want to show you. It is also the 'power of connection' that belongs to all of us in the Zhongzhou team. Just as we responded to Yang Yun's call, Yang Yun also responded to our call."

"The past is not false, but a real fact. Every memory and every experience is a treasure left behind after we cross the era and restart the universe... For us, this is more important than anything else." "... Very good."

Looking at the determined expression on Zheng Zha's face, Dr. Manhattan's expression seemed to relax, and he nodded slowly: "Memory, beyond the curtain of restart. If this is the case, then everything I have done is valuable."

"Hmm? Valuable?"

Hearing Dr. Manhattan's words as if the work was done, and the unprecedented "satisfaction" revealed in his words, Zheng Zha suddenly had new doubts: "What do you mean? Could it be that 'observers' like you also have so-called business indicators--"

"not quite."

Dr. Manhattan replied: "For those of us who are at our level, it is an irresistible nature to demonstrate our wisdom, power and ideas through creation or change. The only difference is that our ideas are different and our preferences are different."

As he spoke, it seemed as if countless worlds flashed before Zheng Zha's eyes: "Some superiors can independently create their own worlds, and thus they become creators; some superiors are happy to transform other people's worlds, and sometimes these transformations will be accepted by the original creators."

"There are also some superior beings who are troubled by how to weave the most perfect creation. As a result, there are no formed creations, only the original chaos of inspiration that keeps changing and dying."

“Giving people the opportunity to change their fate, and seeing if they can change their fate in desperate situations, become the light that illuminates the darkness, and become the embodiment of hope, is the concept I want to show, and it is also the essence of me as an observer.”

As he spoke, Dr. Manhattan took the initiative to stand up and shrink his body. He no longer looked down on Zheng Zha, but faced him face to face as a human being: "As long as there are people, crises may occur; and similarly, as long as there are people, hope will always exist."

The bell rang again, but this time it did not symbolize the clock of doomsday, but represented the blessing of new life.

“Of course, everything has an end, but stories are different. As long as there are people who want to continue reading, then the story will continue.”

"Your power has brought about a miracle, and my role in this story has come to an end."

The next moment, Zhao Yingkong's body instantly appeared in this white space. Before Zheng Zha could react, Dr. Manhattan had already disappeared, leaving only one sentence -

"Next, I will return to the audience seat again and watch together with the thousands and thousands of 'observers' who belong to the same high-dimensional level. That belongs to you -"

“It’s also the dawn of a brand new story.”

　There are a lot of positive colleagues in my company recently, and I may have been affected as well. I slept for three hours this afternoon and felt dizzy when I woke up.

　　This volume is finished, and the conclusion will be written later...

　　I hope all readers take care of their health. I’m going to bed first. Good night.
