From Prisoner to Si Chen

"Gilan from the first round...?!"

Gillan was stunned.

Of course he was familiar with this gaming term.

"Playthrough" refers to the first time you complete the game.

When the player starts from the initial state with no saved data, completes all levels and challenges in the entire game process, and finally achieves the game goal, it is said that the first round has been completed.

After completing the first round, if the player chooses to restart the game again, it is called the second round, and so on.

Since "Muizhu" said that the face belonged to himself in the first round, it means that the other party has "passed the level" once...

But this world is not a game.

So, what does it mean to “pass the customs”?

Gillan thought--

Become Si Chen?

No.

That's probably not enough to be called "clearance".

Because even if he became Si Chen, his fate as a chess piece had not been fulfilled, let alone escaped.

"According to what you said, are we all part of the 'second round'?"

Jilan asked the "Master of Sleep" in a deep voice.

The "Master of Sleep" nodded and said:

“That’s understandable.”

He placed his hands behind his back, looking down at the huge face that seemed to be sleeping below him. He was silent for a while, then said:

"In fact, in the first episode, Jilan has successfully summoned the 'leap moon' and used it to become the Leap Moon Sichen."

“?!”

Hearing this, Jilan's pupils shrank sharply.

He had an expression of surprise.

"In the first week, I have already become Leap Moon Sichen?!"

Jilan stared at the "Master of Sleep" and his voice turned cold:

"So you have been lying to me?! Since He has already been the Lord of the Leap Moon, why are we still trapped in the myriad secret histories... This shows that our method is simply not working. We will always be pawns of the Outer Gods until we win the Supreme Law for them!"

"Not at all."

"The Master of Sleep" sighed.

He raised his hand to signal Jilan to calm down, and brought up a new topic:

"Do you know my true identity?"

Hearing this, Jilan frowned.

As far as he knows, "Muizhu" is himself in Secret History A who became February Sichen. After learning the truth about his identity as a chess piece, he tries to guide Gillan and Clark from different secret histories to find a way out.

But the other party asked this deliberately, which obviously had some deeper meaning, and it made him even more confused.

"You might as well just say whatever you want."

Jilan went straight to the point and said in a deep voice.

The "Master of Sleep" smiled, a trace of melancholy flashed across his eyes, and he spoke softly:

"Actually, my name is Iros..."

"Um?"

Gilan's eyes narrowed.

Ilos?

An absurd idea came to his mind, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"This is the name of the insane personality you sealed, the 'Mad King'. I'm sure you are familiar with it, right?"

"At the very beginning, 'Dreamland' Jilan went through untold hardships and grew up in numerous battles and trials. Eventually, he collected four seals symbolizing the years, melted them into the origin of the world, and used them to summon the leap month and ascend to the leap month's Sichen."

"The Master of Sleep" looked at Jilan and slowly began to speak.

“But He still failed.”

"Failed..."

Jilan's heart sank.

The "Master of Sleep" nodded and said:

"Because even if He became the Lord of the Leap Moon, He would not dare to touch the Supreme Law... I once told you that if you want to fully master the Supreme Law, you must possess 'love' - and this key information comes from Him in the first week."

"It was not until the last moment that He suddenly realized that His 'love' was selfish, loving Himself at all costs in order to achieve His goal... This was different from the love of the 'God of Love', and even the love of the original creator god 'Moth', and even contradicted it."

"At the same time, He is still missing a key factor, that is, the 'holy body'."

"Only by integrating with the four cosmic elements that make up this world can one be qualified to hold the key to this 'house' as the 'master'."

"So, do you understand?"

“…”

After listening to the other party's words, Ji Lan was silent for a long time.

Everything that "Muizhu" does is to make up for the shortcomings of the first week.

"In other words, Dreamland has actually reached the last step, but because it lacks the Saint Body and Love, it cannot completely master the Supreme Law. So it had no choice but to start the second round and let you, this personality, act as the Guide, trying to let the later me find these two key elements?"

"That's right."

The "Muizhu" nodded.

"Once He touched upon the Supreme Law at that time, it would trigger the special mechanism of 'Colorful', thus attracting the attention of the Outer God 'Dian Meng'."

"Before he completely grasps the Supreme Law, he will not be able to defeat the Outer Gods, and will ultimately become a mindless shell."

"I understand..."

Gillan sighed.

At this moment, he was left with only disappointment in his heart.

I originally thought that being a chess piece of an outer god was an extremely sad thing. But I never expected that in the end, I would still be another chess piece of myself.

Everything that I have gone through along the way is just to make up for my shortcomings in the first round and master the supreme law.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Gillan asked calmly.

"Kill me? Or let Him in the first episode take my place?"

As he spoke, he also looked at the huge human face at the bottom of the sea, as if he felt that the other party would open its eyes and wake up in the next second and then swallow him.

Unexpectedly, the "Mirring Master" smiled and shook his head.

"What's the point of killing you or replacing you? He failed in the first round, and what is missing cannot be made up."

"You must be aware that in the game, if you miss a necessary collection, you can't go back and get it... You can only achieve the full collection achievement by starting a new round."

"Um?!"

Gillan was stunned.

"The Master of Sleep" looked at him with a very calm expression.

"Now that you have gathered all the elements, my mission is complete, and He who is in the first week can die peacefully, thus freeing up the position of Leap Moon Sichen for you."

"Don't doubt it. No matter you or me, we are all Gillan Iros. We are the same person. We just want to finally get rid of the control of the Outer Gods and gain a glimmer of hope and a free future."

After saying this, "Master Mei" raised his hand.

He stretched out his index finger and pointed at the upside-down continent above his head, and at the "mountain top" of Mahab that was shining with brilliant light and shrouded in misty fog.

He said with an expectant tone:

"Go! He, I, and even Gilan in the myriad secret histories are all looking forward to this moment."

Jilan looked at the "Master of Sleep" and was silent for a while.

"What will happen to you afterwards?"

"die."

"Master Mei" smiled.

"Well, that may not be accurate. It should be said that it overlaps with you... All the Jilan in the thousands of secret histories will disappear, leaving you alone."

"After all, when you fully master the Supreme Law, 'Gilan Iros' will be the only one."

"I understand."

Gillan took a deep breath and nodded.

He took one last look at the "Master of Mei" in red clothes, who nodded at him and gave him an encouraging look.

Gilan no longer hesitated and headed straight towards Mahab above his head.

Just at this moment.

The huge human face at the bottom of the sea slowly opened its eyes, and its calm eyes looked at the mutilated figure that was swimming upwards.

A secret message suddenly broke into Gilan's mind, causing his swimming body to freeze.

Buzz——

"It's me in episode one, telling me a certain truth."

Gillan was extremely surprised.

The message conveyed by the other party can be simply summarized as follows:

God's alibi!

All of this was not simply planned by the first episode itself, but also involved the original creator god "Moth".

Gillan found this incredible.

Because he knew very well that the "moth" had died long ago.

And this just shows how magical "God's alibi" is!

From the message, we can know that although the "moth" is dead, His unique "love" continues in some incomprehensible form and is always affecting the world.

Many details can confirm this from the side:

First, the third sister who inherited "love", "Goddess of Love" Alice voluntarily sacrificed herself.

This action not only purified the polluted material world, but also gave birth to the first Sichen Omer, thus creating the "Path of the Fire Sword".

It gave humans the power to resist.

Second, Omer cut off the remains due to extraterrestrial pollution.

This move is questionable. He may have taken the initiative to bear the pollution to prevent the world from falling into chaos again...including his later healing of "Ms. Snow" and "Our Lady of Sorrow", and his death as a result, all to pave the way for Jilan.

Third, the love between Torina and Gillan.

Also doubtful.

Gillan's "past life experience" of having disabled legs is not necessarily true. Perhaps it is to make it easier for him to have emotional resonance with Torina and develop into "love".

Moth, Eros, Omer, Tolina...

The four are of the same origin, starting with Alice, and are all the continuation of "love". At the same time, they are also the existence created by the world in order to survive and not be devoured by the two outer gods "Mad Dream" and "End Moment".

In the first round, Gilan cooperated well with the will of the "Moth", thus rewriting the story of the second round and making everything develop towards "self-rescue".

It is also Jilan's self-rescue.

It is also the world’s self-salvation.

At this moment, looking at Mahab getting closer and closer, Gilan's heart was filled with strong shock.

All the confusions of the past were solved at this moment.

The "God of Love" in Secret History A clearly did not fall, and Omer was not born, so why is there a "Road of the Fire Sword"?

The reason is simple. The "Lord of Sleep" knows everything and it is He who spreads it.

Why did I meet Aurora, Alevia, Franco and Weiner at the beginning of my time travel?

Naturally, it was me in the first week who rewrote the secret history, allowing myself to possess the "saint's body" through the four of them.

Why did I meet Torina?

This is the subtle influence of the will of the "moth" and the "God's alibi" has played a role.

Torina is destined to fall in love with Gillan.

Otherwise, this world will cease to exist...
