I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1268 Origin Remains
During their "brief" descent, Martin and Route witnessed the entire life of that planet.

They were on the edge of the world's barriers, excluded from the world's time, and witnessed the world's destruction.

It was like watching a movie...

When the end of the world comes, everything will lose its meaning.

Whether it's human wisdom or the ferocity of wild beasts, the struggles of life only serve as embellishments to the fireworks display, making the light that shimmers in the universe appear even brighter.

They are still falling, and the collapse of the planet has not reduced its mass.

Martin could only try to slow his descent and avoid the dazzling flash.

"Is that the origin of the abyss?" Lu You, who had witnessed everything, asked in a daze.

The abyss was actually dug out by humans?

He had no idea what Martin had experienced in the lake.

Martin stared at the fading light, speechless for a moment, unable to utter a single word.

Was the abyss dug out by humans? It seems not; it was because he completed that test.

Was it because of him that the Abyss appeared? It doesn't seem so. He was also a special individual created by the Abyss. Without the Abyss, where would he come from?

"The abyss shaped me, and I brought the abyss upon me?"

Martin once again felt that deep sense of destiny and the powerlessness he felt in the face of a fate he could not choose.

It seems that the abyss does not have a true "origin".

It's just that fate has written it, and it's bound to happen.

Faced with Lu Youqi's exclamation, Martin didn't know what to say.

The two of them gazed at the light of the world's destruction, feeling the tranquility of annihilation as time passed.

As the light subsided, the two slowly returned amidst the aftershocks of the planet's destruction, back to this world that had fallen into death.

There is no longer any peaceful town, and the old man at the newsstand is gone.

The void and the town are equally peaceful, yet they represent the difference between life and death.

The two stared at the remnants of the world, frozen in place.

It was a molten metal, carrying everything in the world, including everything that humans possess or do not possess.

That enormous metal sky city embodied the creativity and will of all humanity. Now that humanity is gone, its traces remain.

"Is this all there is left?" Looking at the meager amount of metal remaining, Lu Youqi couldn't help but sigh.

The destruction of a world leaves behind only about one cubic meter of metal.

The other metals may have scattered into space, or perhaps they fell into that bottomless pit...

They didn't know whether the remaining metal was heart gold or something else, but both of them had made up their minds:

"Mo Ling's vessel has been found."

The lump of metal in front of me is just the right size to make a container about the size of a human.

Without a doubt, as the sole entity at the origin of the abyss, they need not worry about whether it is unique.

This is all that's left in the world, and it's the only remaining playing card.

They arrived at a time before the concept of playing cards was even born, rushed into a burning printing factory, and found the only "blank sheet of paper" that hadn't turned to ashes.

When all the dust from the explosion dissipated, the quality returned to normal.

Martin discovered that he could escape this world again.

He stared at the lump of metal, a strange feeling welling up inside him:

It seems as if the world deliberately kept him here, reserving this gift for him...

This is a gift he gave to help humanity in this world pass the test. Some unseen being knew the purpose of their arrival here, so it placed the last remnant of this world here and "pulled" them back to receive this gift.

Is there a canopy here too?

Martin looked up and saw only an endless dark void.

The starry sky seemed to be looking back at him, and an unknown star in the distance seemed to twinkle a few times, as if responding to his question.

Martin lowered his head again, and once more urged Lu Qi on:

"Walk."

"Take this first," Lu Youqi said, pointing to the metal in front of him.

"I won't take it," Martin refused outright.

"It's right in front of you, why aren't you taking it?" Lu Youqi was a little confused. Wasn't this their ultimate goal in coming here?

"I won't take it." Martin's resistance began to rise.

He knew Mo Ling would definitely turn into a cube, he knew what the future held, but he just wanted to go against it.

"I refuse to believe that if we don't take it, it can catch up with us."

……

After some time, at the edge of the world.

Martin looked at the metal car relentlessly pursuing him, feeling somewhat helpless.

"They really caught up..."

Seemingly due to gravity, the metal began to chase them automatically. No matter how fast Martin accelerated, the metal kept following behind, and they couldn't shake it off.

"How could this be? Is there really no other choice?" Martin shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be so picky. It's already difficult enough to find a suitable container," Lu Qi, who was unaware of the truth, advised from the side. He thought Martin was being too picky and didn't want to find an iron body for Mo Ling.

Martin had no choice but to continue accelerating, but the metal car followed at a leisurely pace.

Martin knew that the lump of metal was definitely not some ordinary remnant of the world, nor was it any leftover heart metal. Something must have been mixed into the metal during the destruction of the world.

The remnants of human consciousness left on the Heart Gold, the will of the entire planet, and the Abyss of Origin that humans dug out—everything that has ever existed in this world certainly won't disappear into thin air, but will be transferred to something else…

"Are we really going to use this thing as a container for Moring?"

Martin knew that something unique must be special.

But taking on this special role means paying a price.

The fact that the sky is filled with descriptions of a background suggests that the person in that background will inevitably become an important character.

Just before leaving the starting point, Martin looked back at the metal behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he passed through the barrier and left this world.

The piece of metal was propelled out due to inertia.

"Now that everything is written, let's continue developing it this way."

Martin decided to stop resisting...

Following the roots downstream, Martin randomly chose a world and fell into it, while the metal continued to follow them, even though they had entered the dream's orbit.

They landed in a field, and the metal piece fell to the ground as well, crashing onto the surrounding open space.

Lu Qi's face was filled with excitement. After going through countless hardships, they had finally found a suitable container. Now all they had to do was to shape the metal into an attractive form and then put Mo Ling inside...

As he was lost in thought, Martin suddenly grabbed his hand nervously.

"what happened?"

Before he could ask anything, he suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter in the sky...
