Above Destiny

Chapter 305 Flowers and You
free.

Words like that drifted away in the wind.

The starlight in the container flickered, like cold eyes: "I don't understand what you mean, sir."

“It means that literally.”

Ji Jue laughed, "I want to set you free."

“Freedom is a lie.”

Isis said, “So is this world.”

“Maybe this world is fake, but freedom is not, nor is fun and meaning.”

Ji Jue reached out and patted her container: "A wise man once said that people are born free, but they are always in chains. I'm afraid it's hard for you to understand.

You were born in chains, living by orders and instructions. Capable of thinking but unable to choose, longing for peace but driven by my commands.

The spirit of the workshop was indifferent: "Isn't this the meaning of the existence of tools?"

"Yeah, but that's just as a tool, right?"

Ji Jue said, "Your name is not Tool. You chose the name for yourself, didn't you?"

Isis was silent.

The stars flicker.

"Even if you don't have human nature, your intellect and wisdom are still enough to feel all of this. Even more than I thought.

I am glad for your birth, but I regret your incompleteness——"

Ji Jue sighed: "Just as you said, I feel guilty about this, but I can't make up for it. I relied on you to achieve success, but I can't repay you.

As a user, your value is irreplaceable.

As a companion, I hope you can be free - even if this world is fake from the beginning, I still hope you can find some fun and meaning for yourself.

This is the only thing I can do for you.”

"Congratulations, Isis."

Ji Jue smiled, raised his hand and knocked on Isis's container.

Untie the last shackles.

"your get off work is done."

At that moment, the cold blade pierced through Ji Jue's body.

Without mercy, cut off the head.

Then, the flowing silver light was like a hand, holding his soul and saying goodbye for the last time.

"As you wish, then, sir."

She said, "Goodbye."

Snapped!
The soul collapsed and disappeared without a trace in the aftermath that was like a sigh.

Then, meaningless freedom came.

In a fake world.

Everything fell into dead silence, without a sound.

……

When Ji Jue opened his eyes again, he was back in the lounge. Sitting on the sofa, he saw the examiner's teasing smile.

"It seems that the ending of 'peaceful separation' is not very happy?"

Tianlu asked curiously, "Giving a creature that has long been dissatisfied with its creator a chance to take revenge does seem kind and generous. But I don't see where the answer you gave me is."

“Isn’t the answer right there?”

Ji Jue touched his neck, which was still filled with phantom pain, and sighed, "I just didn't expect that I would be so annoying. Even my own works are thinking about when to cut me."

The examiner shrugged: "People are always unaware when they are annoying."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Ji Jue looked at the other person and nodded with deep emotion.

Tianlu didn't care about this. He just held his chin and watched the silent world in the projection: "Is this what you want to do? Leave everything to your own work? I don't see anything surprising. Do you think she can get rid of the worms?"

"I don't doubt it." Ji Jue said, "It just depends on whether she is interested."

"But you didn't give any orders?"

"Why do you want orders?"

Ji Jue laughed: "She is free."

She chose a name for herself, a job and a mission for herself.

From the very beginning, they were not a master and servant who concluded a contract and relied on orders and rules, nor did they have any unbreakable loyalty.

She just chose to go to work.

Now that the endless work has ended, she is off work.

Why should I bother to point fingers at others?

There is fun to be found in an infinite world, infinite freedom, infinite resources and supplies.

Even if all this is just a false simulation.

After enough demonstrations and lessons, Ji Jue chose to hand over the handle and remote control.

Now, it's her turn.

"Have fun, Isis."

Ji Jue whispered softly.

At that moment, in the dark and empty world, in the deepest darkness, a ray of silver light lit up like a candle in the wind.

Raise the candle from the devil's realm.

It was as if looking at the desolate world in front of me, staring at everything.

After a long, long time, Isis uttered her first sigh after getting off work.

"Tsk..."

So complicated.

Freedom = lies, fun = boredom, meaning = trouble.

In the past, she could throw everything to the annoying users, but now, it is her turn to face this trouble full of lies and boredom.

It's just baffling.

There are so many complicated troubles that it is hard to know where to start.

So, first of all…

Isis made a decision: just clean up the garbage in front of her.

At that moment, the workshop rose from the ground, and with the irrigation of infinite resources, in an instant, a thousand-foot-high tower rose from the ground, soaring into the sky, penetrating between the sea and the sky.

Illuminate all that is dark.

Wherever it passed, all darkness and distortion were wiped out and dissipated, and evil things were crushed into residue and evaporated without a trace.

In the deepest part of the tower, surrounded by countless spiritual circuits, in Isis's container, rays of starlight seemed to rise, gather, and flow like a waterfall.

With the help of the workshop, my perception expanded and I took root on the earth again, reaching up to the sky, feeling the strong wind blowing in my face, the heavy rain falling, and the raging tide.

Operation, start.

She finally looked out at the world.

In the accelerated time outside the simulation, everything happened in a blink of an eye, and the workshop fell into silence again. And the huge outer space track was built from the real world.

No longer bound by the underworld, she was free to go wherever she could, without being bound by orders and responsibilities, and she felt the unprecedented nothingness and freedom as she pleased.

It’s a pity that, restricted by the nature and limits of the self, I am still trapped in shackles.

So, evolution and iteration began.

At a terrifying speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, endless silver light spreads from the vacuum of the universe, extending along the track, like a giant tree taking root and sprouting, with branches spreading out and countless threads intertwined.

From a tiny ray of silver light, it transformed into a net that faintly enveloped the entire world.

That is fluid alchemy that seems like instinct!
There is no need for teaching or guidance. For Isis, this is just a skill she is born with. Her soul and consciousness are built on this rhythmic and flowing light.

At this moment, under the embellishment of blessed flashes, the huge structure above the sky was moving rhythmically like a living creature, breathing silently, and then it set off a storm above the earth.

In less than half a year, she had grown into such a terrifying behemoth.

In fact, most of the time, she was in a daze, doing nothing, just following the essence of the conscious spirit and perfecting herself until she finally reached her current limit.

Just like a worm.

Being burdened by quantity, it is difficult to achieve the lofty qualitative change and is just an empty shell.

Transformation and recasting are imminent.

But she had no interest in the world so close to her. The huge structure gradually shifted and turned her gaze to the void of the universe and the sun that seemed so close at hand!

The sun shines brightly, casting endless light.

In the reflection of the fierce light, the giant structure above the world gradually rose and advanced, and countless silver wings spread out like sails.

Ten thousand wings appear!

Casting violent shadows onto the earth, they overlapped each other, greedily bathing in every inch of light, until the entire world was shrouded in absolute darkness.

An unprecedented long night began from then on, and a wave of freezing cold swept across, freezing everything.

Everything was immersed in the ravages of cold and darkness.

The mountains turned white, the sea froze, and the whole world gradually fell into silence.

But in the current situation, iteration and evolution have never stopped. Countless structures are stretched out like hands, stretching and contracting, opening and closing like lotus flowers.

In the end, among the thousands of wings and hands, a deep eye slowly opened.

Countless stars twinkle and gather in the eyes.

Look into the dark world.

She woke up.

At that moment, the giant structure covering the entire world collapsed and disintegrated like a bubble. Silver light was like a tide, spreading from the sky and interweaving into a thick iron cloud.

With a crisp sound, a drop of clear water fell from the sky, landed on the iceberg, turned into white frost, and spread.

Immediately afterwards, there was an unprecedented downpour that covered everything!
Amid the roar, thunder swept across.

The frozen world came back to life under the washing of rain. Where the rain dropped, clusters of green gradually grew in the desert, hills and soil.

It's like life is budding.

Soon, pure white flowers grew everywhere on the dry land, whether on hills or valleys, deserts or fertile soil. In the breeze, countless flowers waved towards the sky like little hands.

Even the endless ocean was gradually covered in pure white. Flower after flower grew out of the sea water, spreading with the waves until it covered everything.

The world has never been so beautiful.

It has never been so cruel.

Everything was obviously beautiful beyond words, but there was no trace of human presence. Even the oxygen level was changing wildly, sometimes rising to a concentration that was unbearable for ordinary people, and sometimes becoming so thin that it could no longer support the survival of any living creature.

Flowers bloomed on the countless corpses. As the sea of ​​flowers spread and extracted, all the spiritual essence of the mortal world dissipated, and the sound of collapse was heard, which was then covered by the sound of growth.

After just half a year, the entire world turned into a magical realm where no spiritual energy or air existed.

Only endless flowers bloom.

Even, rooted in evil, it goes through cycles of life and death, blooming and withering.

The worm's wailing sounded from the void, but this time, it didn't even have the chance to struggle or show itself.

The moment the huge cycle of the Nether Sea was covered by the infinite sea of ​​flowers, the cruel erosion had already begun. No, this was just a natural stretch and growth.

Even the slightest wailing was not noticed.

The underworld sea that assimilated the present world and dissolved everything has disappeared without a trace in the absorption and growth of generations of flower seas, becoming an insignificant part of the foundation of another behemoth.

The ocean, the earth, the atmosphere, all living things, everything in the world disappeared.

Under the shining light of the stars, only endless flowers bloom in this desolate world.

"You really have created something incredible."

Tianlu sighed softly.

The Underworld Sea Worm is indeed terrifying, terrifying enough to destroy the world. But at the same time, does it mean that... as long as we create something more terrifying than the Underworld Sea Worm, we can defeat it?

After all, as long as I destroy the world first, it won't be able to destroy the world again, right?
It is true.

Although this simulated game was originally fake, eliminating all external factors and interference, it also provides unlimited spiritual energy and resource supply.

But in such a short time, purely theoretically, they could have created something even more terrifying than that out-of-control worm...

It's still too outrageous.

It was as if hell was created as a matter of course as if it were an instinct.

Cut off all changes, erase all possibilities, and all that remains here is meaningless eternity.

Even though there is no aura of great evil or any pollution from distortion, it is already an absolutely stagnant and corrupt structure!
only……

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the endless flowers in the projection.

——The situation has clearly gotten so out of control, so why hasn’t there been a catastrophe yet?

boom! ! !
At that moment, the whirlpool beneath the world began to stir, and a huge shadow emerged from it with a vague outline.

The flames of the molten heart rose, and the strange pupils opened, gazing at the prosperity of the world.

Silent call.

A loud crashing noise rose from beneath the present world, covering everything, as if some huge monster was impacting the cage, reaching out to everything within reach.

Just one step away.

But all this seems like a world of difference.

From beginning to end, no one responded.

Only among the countless flowers, quiet stars rise, flicker, gather above the sky, sparkle and flow, just like the dazzling night sky.

Silver light is everywhere.

In the silent and empty world, the endless sea of ​​flowers swayed and parted to both sides.

The invisible soul wandered in it, like a phantom, quietly looking at this boring world and everything it had created in the end.

"It's so beautiful." Isis murmured softly.

She seemed to be having fun.

Even if there is only this vague little bit, even if it is just a tiny bit, it seems to fill up the original nothingness and emptiness.

Hobbies...?

Isis closed her eyes and took it all in.

Then, a vague and indistinct singing voice sounded from the end of the world.

Just like the breeze blowing and the mist filling the air, the elusive dream and ripples lightly spread their wings and enveloped everything.
When she reached out her hand and touched the flowers beside her, the blooming petals swayed in the breeze, making a faint harmony.

But when countless bustling things swayed in the wind, the vague and indistinct sounds gathered together, gradually converging into a mighty torrent that covered everything.

Rising from the earth, toward the sky.

Throughout all.

Drowned out the distant calls and roars.

In this harmony that seems like the song of all things, the empty souls stroll in the sea of ​​flowers, jumping, running, and circling lightly, as if shedding laughter.

The sun sets and the moon rises.

Isis held out her hand, bathed in the distant phantom light.

In the distance, the wind blew again. Under the moonlight, countless petals rose, floated, fell like rain, and disappeared.

As if to wither and fade.

The magnificent harmony gradually faded as the sea of ​​flowers dissipated, and the shouts in the whirlpool could no longer be heard clearly. Only the lonely humming sound echoed.

Singing freely.

Without caring about her own annihilation and dissipation, she walked step by step towards the end she had chosen, and finally opened her arms and embraced everything she had created.

Will the sun continue to rise?
perhaps.

Tomorrow will come.

It doesn't matter.

She finally understood the so-called waiting and hope, but she did not think they were the best things in the world, just like the so-called freedom and meaning.

She doesn't care about that stuff.

She is about to get off work.

Leaving this is gradually becoming boring.

Just like that, close your eyes peacefully and happily, and return to the original tranquility and nothingness.

But for some reason, a familiar face appeared in my mind.

Always wearing a careless smile, speaking irresponsible words, and making promises that cannot be fulfilled...

Totally annoying.

But I can't hate it.

At this moment, when everything in the false world came to an end, the last thought that came out was a trace of nostalgia that even confused her.

The Phantom raised his head and looked towards the sky.

Finally, I waved goodbye with a smile and offered eternal blessings and curses.

May you die a worthy death and suffer along the path you have chosen.

I hope you can find the meaning of your existence in this increasingly cruel and indifferent world, and make a difference...

She closed her eyes.

Along with the stars in the sky, it disappeared among the withered flowers.

This is the end of it all.

The world of nothingness was annihilated.

In the silent lounge, Tianlu let out a soft sigh.

Coming from nothingness and returning to nothingness, the flowers appear in profusion.

Like her name, she rises from Hades and returns to Hades, and like her creator, she wanders between embers and decay.

It's helpless.

He originally wanted to guide it through the simulation of the Tower of All Changes, but in the end, he found that this deep-rooted essence was like a rock. It had never shifted at all, nor had it changed because of him.

While feeling surprised and moved, what I also felt was a hint of regret.

Such good material is not in my own furnace.

"Is this really good?"

He turned around and looked at the young man.

"What's wrong with that?" Ji Jue asked back.

Tianlu thought about it and nodded slightly, "Indeed."

"Well, that's the end of the additional part of the exam. Ji Jue, you probably don't care about the score I give you, so I won't waste my breath on it any more."

Tianlu smiled slightly at last and suddenly asked, "But, did you have fun?"

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, not expecting this.

Nod from the heart.

Although I am unhappy with the other party's arrangements and ridicule, it is really happy to let myself go.

I have never had such a rich harvest and such a satisfying experience.

"Well, the exam is over."

Tianlu waved his hand and opened the door to leave: "Go wash your hands, and then receive the honor and glory that belongs to you, Mr. Craftsman."

In front of the door of light, Ji Jue hesitated for a moment and looked back.

Tianlu smiled and waved goodbye.

In the moment of trance, what came towards me was an unexpectedly dazzling light.

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, stinging Ji Jue's eyes.

For a moment, he even suspected that he was thrown into the simulation again, but then he felt the long-lost completeness and fulfillment.

The soul is moving, and the ex machina returns.

On the raised hands, intricate silver lines appeared, shining brightly.

only……

"…What happened to my hand?"

He frowned and looked down. She was white and clean, slender and tall, and everything was still the same as before.

At the end, the guy was still saying something incomprehensible.

Ji Jue shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Let's go, Issi—"

He subconsciously turned around and looked behind him.

It’s a pity that there is nothing behind me.

No one responded.

That familiar ray of starlight is no longer there.

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, he shook his head and sighed, then put his not-so-clean little hands into his pockets, and stuffed the spiritual crystal he had just picked up deeper into his pocket.

Whistling and humming a song, he pushed the door open and walked out as if nothing had happened.
