In the dying fire, in the ashes of the world, it sat on the star cup and fell into a long sleep, thus giving birth to this infinite dreamland.

"Are we...living in a dream?"

Yakumo Zi murmured to herself, her eyes were in a daze, and her pupils seemed to have no focus.

As a girl who is always seventeen years old, the difficulties and problems that Yakumo Purple has experienced have long made her develop a strong heart, but now she is like an ordinary woman who has been severely hit mentally.

But this is not surprising. A strong man with a strong will and dreams can still muster the courage to face a crisis that will destroy the world.

Because of this deep obsession, when they realize that the world and their own lives may be false, they will be more vulnerable than ordinary people.

"This question... depends on how you define dreams."

Roland replied.

"But you don't need to worry. Before that moment, everything you experienced was real. Whether it was Gensokyo or the efforts you made, it all happened before. Because my dream is also based on the complete destruction of the world. On the embers of the past, it just replaced your original future.”

"……replaced?"

"To use an analogy, the electronic equipment has changed the server, and the shrine has changed the god it enshrines."

Roland smiled.

"So, in this world now, although time is still moving forward, it is a world where there is no possibility. This will be the case before the Dragon God and I are revived."

The disappearance of possibility is by no means as simple as recovering from an injury; it breeds growth, change and the future.

As a server, Roland no longer has any possibility, and the possibility of the world itself has been handed over to Roland by the Dragon God. Therefore, even if the world is still functioning normally, there is no way to escape facing this terrible consequence.

"From now on, there will be no new inventions in this world, whether it is the exploration of new powers or theoretical breakthroughs. The world will stagnate in the existing technology for hundreds or thousands of years. There will be no change, not only for humans, but also for monsters.”

"However, it seems too absolute to say this. Even if I only have a dream left, it is not something you can ignore with your level."

Because the gap between us is as huge as that between me and the snake, Roland said this while showing a natural expression.

"Considering this, if there are people like you who can enter this extraterrestrial land and enter this subspace, and are highly inspired, they may also obtain technology that is not available in this world from my dreams, but this is not called The creation above is just a mere reproduction.”

This is also the reason why Yakumo Murasaki didn't feel any changes, firstly because the time was too short, and secondly because the technology mastered by Roland was too advanced.

It is still very difficult for human beings to explore all the magic, science, and deeper magic technology in ancient and modern times and abroad.

Thanks to this, humans who were favored by fate before will probably still maintain extreme suppression of Gensokyo. After all, their spirituality is much higher than that of the monsters and anomalies who have reached their end.

But this is their dream after all. It is hard to say what kind of technology they will gain, and whether it will directly erode their spirits or even turn them into monsters.

But at this point, there is no need to tell Yakumo Murasaki in front of him. Maintaining the stability of the status quo is the best way to deal with the black snake trapped in the dream outside.

If the balance between monsters and humans is broken, leading to the emergence of careerists, there may be no end in sight. On the human side, it is better to use dreams to transform some characters favored by fate to adjust the process of the times.

Roland thought to himself and nodded leisurely.

Yakumo Zi pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head.

"In other words, the existence that cannot produce possibilities also includes you? And you said that you will come back to life if you leave the Golden Throne, and that the throne functions as an amplifier. Is this all to suppress the black snake?"

"...Although I have praised you before, Zi, your sensitivity is indeed very attractive."

"As you think, the black snake will be slow for a moment because of the change of target, but that's all. Its next target will be the dream of the world that was born because of me."

"So - I paused time."

Roland sat on the throne with a smile and looked at the star cup above.

"The Star Cup is an item that also has infinite possibilities. It can cover the entire world with the principle of desire that I possess in an instant. The snake surrounding the world is also within this range."

"I stopped the world at this moment. It's lucky that the apostle closest to infinity still has the weakness of being unable to resist reason."

Among the powers Roland possesses, there are currently three types that can be covered by his desire and called principles that transcend the rules.

{Time} was born from the beginning of the past, {Perpetual Motion} was born from the sublimated self, and {Eternal Return} was born from the future of the heavenly ceremony.

And what is now maintained by the Star Cup is the principle of time that shined when killing the Final Dragon.

An eternal moment.

Only those beings recognized by Roland will continue to flow. Everything else is frozen at the moment when the dream occurs and the apostle attacks.

"But on the other hand, being restricted in a dream and half-dead, the extent of my interference is limited."

Roland was complaining, but his tone was serious and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Yakumo Purple also realized that this seemed to be the real reason why Roland called him here today.

She nodded solemnly.

"Please give me your orders. As long as it is something I can do, I will do it."

"That's good," Roland said with a gentle smile on his face. He lightly snapped his fingers and let the familiar map unfold in front of Yakumo Purple.

A mountain full of monsters, a magic forest full of precious materials, a bamboo forest that makes people lose their way, a mansion located on the shore of the Lake of Mist, a human being in a fertile valley; and the Sanjukuan River that separates the other shore and Gensokyo.

"Next, let me explain in detail why I call it

——Fantasyland Paradise Plan. "

Chapter 379 The ashes of no fire

"Let the supreme apostle who can destroy the universe with a single thought be dragged into this deadlock. No matter from which point of view, the price I paid is not worth mentioning."

Roland said in a gentle tone that was neither fast nor slow.

"However, as far as the ultimate goal is concerned, I just didn't lose."

Although Black Snake is trapped outside the world, from another perspective, isn't Roland a prisoner on the throne?

Even Roland, who declared before the war that he did not want to lose, did not expect that this sentence would become a motto.

The results of this battle were very fruitful. Not only did it retain the integrity of the original world and complete its own closed loop, it also devoured thousands of additional bonded spirits, greatly increasing Roland's power.

But all of this can only be realized after he comes back to life.

When Roland has been in a state of neither victory nor defeat, this is nothing more than a blank check.

But the situation is so embarrassing, once he leaves the golden throne used to increase {reason}, even if he does not intend to survive.

Just trying to recover from injuries or interfere with other worlds will immediately break this balance.

The black snake that has locked onto him will not leave Roland time to escape.

Therefore, Roland, who was a candle in the wind, did not even have time to recover himself, and could not leave the Golden Throne at all.

This undoubtedly leads to Roland's biggest advantage at present, the shuttle function that comes with the Key of All Souls has also been restricted in disguise.

Although Roland can now travel freely in the sea of ​​​​the world on his own, under the current situation, the importance of the Key to All Spirits is no less important than any principle of desire he holds.

The considerate function of automatically navigating according to needs is Roland's best way to break the situation.

"But I can't do this alone."

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly and frankly stated his shortcomings, "When Black Snake and I use the Principle of Moment as a chain to restrain each other, only you who are caught in the gap can complete this critical step."

Although the essence of the eternal moment is that new life cannot be born, the world cannot move forward, and it will not change, it is an endless hell that is only slightly better than complete death.

But things must be reversed at their extremes. On the other hand, it also has the potential to become a beautiful paradise.

All the good things you have will be fixed and become an unbreakable stronghold. You will never lose anyone you care about, and you can share your time with the person you want.

And this is the variable that Roland is looking forward to.

"If you can't change the nature, why don't you just start with the shape?"

Yakumo Zi looked at the sea and sky in the distance, thoughtfully.

You don't need to think about it to know that even if Roland's possibilities are pushed to the extreme, neither humans nor monsters can change Roland's state.

But taking advantage of the privilege of being allowed to act within the principle of the moment, human beings in this world can still retain the changes they have made.

Although the destruction and creation they made seemed to Roland to be based on the existing amount of data in the universe, they did not have the power to touch the essence of the changes in material properties.

But change is change, even if it's small.

The same is true for this temple of infinite time built from dreams that is also located at the bottom of the universe.

Even if its quality cannot be shaken, it is not impossible to turn it from water into mist and spread it to a larger area while retaining its magnitude.

When the objects that Roland can directly interfere with are no longer those who can actively contact the subspace, or those lucky people who are qualified, but become the entire world, the impact he can cause will undoubtedly be a radical change compared to now.

After all, even if Roland's dream spreads from fantasy and spreads to the real world, it has been diluted many times, the gap is still higher than that of many people and even the universe.

Finally, he can even seize the opportunity to spread the dream outside the universe, using this trick to avoid the disadvantages of being trapped on the throne.

"So, how do we make the dream spread? In this matter, I don't know how to start."

After thinking seriously for a while, Yakumo Purple became a little frustrated.

Even though she has mastered the realm and reached the pinnacle of abilities and characteristics, she cannot enter the depths of Roland's dream through the gap. She can only cross the nodes on foot, especially for other anomalies.

The gathering of monsters who don't even know the end of the universe can't touch the boundary of dreams.

Roland sits alone on the throne for the sake of the world, no matter what he thinks subjectively.

At least the world was saved and the Savior suffered for it. These are indisputable facts.

Therefore, whether it was due to the attitude of the monster sage or her own selfishness, Yakumo Purple wanted to help reduce Roland's burden as much as possible.

But the answer Roland gave still confused her.

"Just spread the fire."

"Eh?"

Roland's light words made Yakumo Purple stunned, and he blinked in confusion.

Even with her rich life as an eternal seventeen-year-old girl, she could not understand the meaning of passing the fire.

How could the flames burn in the Temple of Infinite Time where even realms cannot take effect?

"After burning out all possibilities, I am just a ball of ashes without fire. But even like this, if I can eat the firewood, I can still emit the light of the firewood and use it as motivation. This dreamland will be like this." It will spread out naturally," Roland explained calmly.

"Firewood?"

Such cruel words made Yakumo Purple silent for a while.

“What are the specific requirements regarding firewood?”

"The higher everything - life, objects, spirituality, the more demonic and extraordinary elements contained in the body, the longer it can burn."

Yakumo Purple's eyes were slightly absent-minded, and she began to search hard for options that met this requirement. Soon, her heart sank.

Human beings are very much in line with this requirement both in terms of numbers and spirituality, but they carry most of the present world view and destiny.

In a large-scale crisis, the sharp decline in the number of humans may directly lead to the collapse of the cornerstone of the balance of the dream and the world, which will cause more serious consequences.

On the contrary, in Gensokyo, there are more people who meet Roland's conditions.

The anomalies and monsters are in despair, but at least they were once rich. Because of a refuge like Gensokyo, the most elite and powerful people in the world are now gathered here.

Great monsters, gods in heaven, evil ghosts in hell, and immortals who have achieved enlightenment through practice.

Even if their own strength is ineffective, as firewood, they should still be very good.

If there are enough, they might be able to take Roland's place on the throne, at least giving him some freedom to move around the border.

only……

Yakumo Purple smiled bitterly.

She is a sage on the side of monsters. Although Gensokyo holds a much higher position in her heart than monsters, it does not mean that she is indifferent to such things.

The strong always respect each other, and most of those who meet the requirements of firewood can be considered her friends.

Yakumo Murasaki is not so shameless that even if it is related to the survival of the world, she thinks that her actions must be justice.

These have always been two different things that need to be looked at separately.

"Let me tell you first, I don't intend to send them in directly to be burned as firewood, but what kind of image do I have in your mind..."

Probably seeing through Yakumo Purple's thoughts, Roland shook his head with a subtle expression: "I don't deny that if it reaches the point of no return, I may become the kind of person who does not want to spread the fire for you, but I will help you spread it. character, but at least not to this extent yet.”

The essence of desire is ultimate selfishness.

Now Roland has understood who is the real chaos and the real freedom between doing what he wants to do and not doing what he doesn't want to do.

If the apostle of the Supreme Heaven breaks through again and breaks the current balance, he will drain the world dry without hesitation, and then use the fuelwood born from it to buy himself opportunities.

At that time, except for the remnants of the immortals who have lost their humanity and are unwilling to disappear and give up spreading fire, the world will only be an abyss of death.
