Terra Martial God and Merit System

All the memories of this world began to come together, and the deep darkness before Luo Chen's eyes was finally no longer there, but instead there was a little light.

That was... a vast white environment.

Luo Chen's soul was suspended in the middle, and then he heard the sound of someone standing up.

A figure appeared in front of him. It was a young man in a white shirt. In front of him was a monitor with countless images flashing across it - all of which were things that Luo Chen had experienced.

"Hello, Luo Chen." The man smiled at Luo Chen.

"Who the hell are you?" Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He thought of many possibilities of his soul traveling across time and space - breaking off an engagement on the spot, being impregnated in the toilet by a bad girl, his parents being born with syphilis... In short, he had thought of all the possibilities he should have.

But I never expected....to see such a scene in front of me.

Where is the high martial arts world?

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tian Dao." The man bowed slightly and said, "We have known each other for a long time, Luo Chen."

"I don't know you." Luo Chen replied.

"Oh? Really?" Tiandao looked at him with a half-smile, "Think carefully, how did you travel through time?"

"How to travel through time?" Luo Chen was stunned.

His past memories were gradually revealed and appeared clearly in his mind.

It was an extremely tough underground boxing match, but I won in the end.

On his way back home, he ran into the man.

It was him...it was him who made me travel through time!

It was he who gave me the choice...

"I remember I asked you." Luo Chen looked up, "What is the price?"

The other party helped Luo Chen to travel through time and also gave him a magical golden finger.

Luo Chen didn't believe in the other party's kindness, and the price he paid was...he must have lost something.

"I'm only interested in you as a person. The so-called price...is nothing." Tiandao shook his head. "It's better to say that you helped me."

"Tell me the truth, Luo Chen. Everything you just experienced was actually a selection led by me."

"You mean...that all this is fake?" Luo Chen asked.

The other party possesses such terrifying power... Luo Chen really doubts that all the memories before that were just a dream.

"No, Terra is real, and everything you did has happened." Tian Dao shook his head and replied. "The problem is my induction."

"Luo Chen, do you really think there are absolutely good and bad people in the world?"

"Do you really feel that one so-called 'merit' can judge everyone?"

"That's just a criterion." Luo Chen shook his head, "I have my own standards. Anyway, I think those who deserve to die are bad people."

"Yes, the standard." Tiandao nodded, "You know... Luo Chen, I didn't have much hope for this selection."

"But you really surprised me."

"Am I too fast?" Luo Chen asked, "Or are you surprised by my unscrupulousness?"

"No, quite the opposite." Tiandao shook his head, "You are too slow, and you can't be called unscrupulous at all."

"If you really go all out, you can cut your time by two-thirds."

"Impossible!" Luo Chen frowned, "How could it be so fast?!"

"Of course you can." Tian Dao said with a smile, "I'll give you a quick way to collect merits—"

"Just find a mobile city, stuff a lot of refugees into it, and only provide a small amount of food."

"They will kill each other, and then you can take action and kill these murderous 'bad guys'. Isn't this a good thing?"

"It goes on and on..."

"A billion?"

"The people of Terra are enough to provide a hundred billion merits!"

"You are too extreme." Luo Chen said, "You are forcing them to become bad people..."

"Who said that we should do whatever it takes?" Tian Dao asked, "wasn't it you?"

"That's what I admire about you."

“You have a line, and you don’t cross it.”

"I used many methods to induce you to cross the line..."

"From the initial seeds of evil, to the dream of the high-level martial arts world, to the questioning of the Sarkaz Demon King..."

“You’ve held up.”

"It's really strange....You are obviously a lunatic, but you are not completely crazy..."

"So it was all your fault, you bastard!" Luo Chen glared at him.

"I didn't interfere with your choice." Tiandao spread his hands, "I just guided you... you know."

"You control your own destiny, and you control it very well. Luo Chen - you really surprised me."

"What exactly are you selecting?" Luo Chen asked with a frown.

"Select what..." Tiandao smiled, "The position I'm selecting is called 'Star Creator'."

"Countless worlds, countless universes, all are infinite."

"I am the Heavenly Dao, the being that oversees these countless universes. But there are still some places that I cannot take care of completely."

"So, I need some help."

"Of course, because of my past, my experiences before transcendence have made me wary of many creatures. It's just that you made me change my mind."

"Luo Chen, are you willing to become the Star Maker?"

“Or——” Tiandao raised his hand.

A golden door appeared behind him.

"This door leads to a high-level martial arts world. If you want to go in, I will delete your memory of me and take your merit system with you."

"This is the ending you always wanted."

"Choose, Luo Chen. This is the second chance I give you to choose."

Luo Chen looked at the Tian Dao in front of him and suddenly asked an irrelevant question - "Where is Terra?"

Tiandao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Chen to ask this, but he quickly reacted.

He raised his hand slightly, and a round ball floated over, covered with a layer of black crystals.

"This is Terra, everything in that universe."

"If I become the Star Maker, then..."

"This world is under your jurisdiction." Tiandao said.

"Then... my choice is obvious." Luo Chen said calmly, "Give it to me."

"Luo Chen..." Tiandao smiled, and gave the sphere that symbolized the Terran Universe to Luo Chen, "It's really interesting... I have already given up my emotions, but I am still a little moved."

"I hope you won't regret any of this."

"I rarely regret anything." Luo Chen said lightly. He looked at the universe in his hand and fell into silence.

He raised his hand and touched his face.

While his body was still there, there was a tear.

"Ha..." Luo Chen suddenly smiled.

"I'm coming." He said softly.

This book is finished and has come to an end for now.

I don't know what you think, but sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I still feel a little empty, after all, a thing that I have to do every day suddenly disappeared. People will definitely feel a little at a loss.

This is my first book with one million words. It is also the book that gave me the most insights and experiences after working in the online literature industry for a long time.

I think that even at the end of my life, I will not forget that I have written such a book.

This is a milestone, a signpost, an achievement that has been made.

Some people think that this book has a bad ending. Let me share my thoughts.

There is actually nothing more to write about now. The protagonist is already invincible. All the powerful beings in the original world view are not as strong as the protagonist. If I want to write again, I will have to make up my own story.

For example, after unifying Terra, we will explore the universe... This does not belong to the fan worldview, and my writing does not have a large audience.

Another example is the various bits and pieces and things that happened during the unification of Terra.

After losing Luo Chen, where will Tallulah lead people?

What will happen after Columbia is the "model"? Which will collapse first, Terra Union or it?

What path should Yan Country take?

What does the future hold for Casimir?

There is even a doctor...

If it's just water, it wouldn't be a problem to write another million, but I feel that it doesn't make much sense.

On the one hand, it is necessary to write in depth, there is the issue of the regent, and on the other hand, the protagonist's goal has been achieved, and there is no point in staying. He is just a passer-by in this world, who has changed everything, but he still has to move towards a higher goal.

If the merits are collected enough, the protagonist cannot stay in Terra forever, otherwise the whole story will be messed up.

Of course, there is another reason, which is a practical reason. I am about to graduate and prepare to work on my final project. So I have less and less time.

After all, it was my first time writing a one-million-word novel. I had to write every day for more than five months, and I didn’t have time to rest during the Spring Festival. It was really a marathon-like fatigue. During this period, I was hospitalized, and I also had cervical spondylosis...

In this way, I never took a leave, and I updated more than 200,000 words every month after the book was put on the shelves.

The original postscript had many problems. I was too anxious to finish it and didn't think it through carefully. After being reminded by a fellow reader, I rewrote the postscript, and the first one ended as the if line.

I'm really sorry if it caused any trouble.

I kowtow to you, bang bang bang bang!

I did leave some holes in the text, I admit that.

I will try my best to fill in these gaps in the extra chapters.

The first extra chapter begins with Luo Chen taking Surtel to visit Lateran.
