Primary school students of all worlds

Looking down, he could see a chaotic scene beneath the tree house: a steel hut built by the dwarves, a yurt built by the orcs, a cave where trolls rested, a flower garden surrounded by goblins, and many more buildings that Wang Quan couldn't name...

Where is this place?

"Welcome, sons of men who have come from afar."

An ethereal voice that seemed to have its own echo effect sounded from the air not far away. Wang Quan subconsciously raised his head and saw a 1.87-meter-tall, graceful female elf walking towards them.

Every step the adult female elf took was towards the air, but the big tree behind her always extended its branches at the critical moment, acting as stairs, extending all the way to the ground.

Wang Quan found that the elf girl and the Minotaur boy beside him, as well as the dwarves, trolls, orcs, and goblins who saw this scene all lowered their heads and bent their waists to the female elf in front of them. Some even knelt on one knee and called her the queen and greeted her.

"This is the last territory in the world that is not the property of a tyrant, the last refuge in this world."

The Elf Queen said softly to the elementary school students, "You are safe now that you have come here."

"Um... may I ask who you are?"

Wang Quan blinked and asked directly, which earned him surprised looks from the people around him. 'Isn't education the most advanced industry in the human race? How come you don't even recognize that adult?'

"Karin Landau."

The Elf Queen introduced herself: "I'll consider you the village chief of this refuge."

"Don't you know Queen Cailin?"

The Elf Queen beside her exclaimed, "Then you must have heard of Lady Sunblessing, who casts the last ray of light upon herself during countless solar eclipses!"

Seeing Wang Quan's expression as if he had just heard something about it for the first time, the elf girl was even more incredulous: "What about Dragon Kisser? Fire Demon Terminator? Nature's Wrath? Woodland Guardian? Emerald Wind?"

Seeing Wang Quan's lack of reaction, the elf girl scratched her head in confusion. "The Queen's fame reaches from the heavens to the Nine Hells. She's been part of the history of every race. Only a newborn baby wouldn't have heard of her deeds. Are you...really human?"

"Spare them, Eves."

The queen ruffled the elf girl's hair and shook her head, saying, "Now is not the time to discuss this. Our guests have just escaped from the demons and must be exhausted. Let them rest first."

After that, the Elf Queen motioned for the pupils to follow her: "I will take you to find a warmer place to stay. Come on, little ones."

“We’re not really that tired…”

Wang Quan followed the Elf Queen and asked, "And I'm very concerned about the words you just mentioned, Queen. The last refuge in this world? What happened in this world?"

"You don't even know this?"

The Elf Queen paused and looked at the five children with a strange look in her eyes. "Could it be that what you just said is true? Did the succubus really use magic to make you lose your memory?"

Wang Quan blinked, then nodded vigorously.

"It's not like they would do such a thing."

The Elf Queen said thoughtfully, "But perhaps losing your memory and forgetting those memories might actually be a good thing for you. I think it would be better for you to maintain this state and have fun happily."

"That's not good at all."

Wang Quan said affirmatively: "If the Queen doesn't tell me what happened, I will be itching to know what I have forgotten. So please tell me, what happened to the 'world'? Did a catastrophe occur that caused the entire planet's spiritual system to collapse? A battle of over a hundred races? A large-scale alien invasion? Or maybe..."

"..."

Looking at the five little faces full of curiosity, the Elf Queen sighed softly. She also knew that it was impossible to hide such a common knowledge, so she simply turned around and faced the children in front of her.

"It wasn't a natural disaster, nor was it a man-made disaster. There wasn't a dramatic story, no popular resistance, and certainly no tale of utter cruelty. There was simply a 'human' who made an offer that all living beings couldn't refuse, and so they all joined forces to sell out the 'world.'"

The Elf Queen sighed and said, "Except for this small piece of woodland beneath my feet, the rest of this planet belongs to that woman."

"That woman...why does it feel a bit like déjà vu?"

Wang Quan asked in a strange tone: "What's her name?"

"That's what they call her here."

The Elf Queen whispered a series of titles.

"The 'Girl of Unknown Omen', born in an earthquake and then abandoned by her parents, became the 'Golden Hand' who, at the age of ten, led the continent's largest chamber of commerce, the 'Master of Technology' who revolutionized this magical world, the 'Great Inventor', the 'Creator of Fantasy Paradise', the 'Most Evil Woman of the Century', the 'Usperer', the 'Tyrant Who Usurped', the 'Enemy of the Forest, the Earth, the Mountains, the Sky, the Ocean, and All Creation', the 'Revolutionary of Peace', the 'Bringer of Good News', the 'God Above God', the 'End-Producer'"

Under Wang Quan's twitching gaze, the Elf Queen whispered in a complex tone, "Now she, the one who has bought the entire world, has the latest and final title: Machine Emperor Nero."

Elementary School Students and Final Producers: Chapter 275 The Emperor and the Witch

In a room covering an area of ​​200 square meters, which is not empty at all, there are ten rows of neatly arranged metal racks. The indicator lights on the simple-looking supercomputers are flashing rapidly, and the sound of the processors running at high speed is like a group of bees flapping their wings, and there is a buzzing sound everywhere.

Sitting on a throne made of zeros and ones, built from dozens of processors manufactured using today's most advanced machinery and composed of binary codes, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

A calm voice interrupted the thoughts of 'Machine Emperor Nero'. Nero frowned as he looked at the girl who was drinking black tea in her office.

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you see? I want to invite Your Majesty to have tea with me."

The girl held a plum in her hand and gestured towards Nero, saying with anticipation, "This is a cheap plum you can buy for a dollar a bag at the store. It's perfect to pair with expensive Darjeeling black tea."

Watching the ripples created by the falling plum blossoms in the teacup, Nero spoke slowly and steadily, "You know I'm not asking you about the tea, Sir Beren. What exactly do you want to do? Don't tell me you're just bored and want to have fun with me."

"Of course I wouldn't. This visit is nothing more than telling Your Majesty how delicious your plum tea is. However, I do have something I want to ask Your Majesty—"

The witch happily gazed at the 'Machine Emperor' who sat high above the throne of 0 and 1. No matter how many times they had met, she was still amazed by her bionic skin, which was whiter than snow, her -meter height, which was a proud sight compared to -meter height, her exquisite face that was a perfect combination of art, technology, and science, and even her long green hair composed of trillions of optical fibers, which made her, who was already accustomed to it, feel pleasing to the eye.

"How do you feel about this time-travel device I presented to His Majesty?"

"Honestly, I thought that after buying the entire planet, nothing in this world could surprise me anymore, but this time I was really surprised."

Nero responded with a steady voice, "I didn't expect the parallel universe hypothesis to be true. Thanks to the technology provided by Sir Beren, I was able to gather a remarkable amount of information from that Monkey God Elementary School. Therefore, I intend to put all plans for extraterrestrial exploration in the Star Sea on hold for a long time and immediately begin the multiverse exploration plan."

“That’s a very correct idea.”

Beren nodded approvingly. "'Just a closed system universe' naturally has far less potential than the multiverse. I know of only two people who have seen this. You're the second person I've met who has proposed the idea of ​​developing the multiverse."

"the second?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Nero's tone unconsciously rose: "Someone has already walked ahead of me?"

"That's right, but don't worry, that guy still has to find time to play cards with others, do his homework, treat his friends to Boston lobster, and help others carry their school bags."

The Great Witch smirked happily, "So even though Your Majesty has just begun exploring the multiverse, you will definitely be able to surpass that little guy in a short time."

"I'm not sure if the word 'soon' is believable for immortal beings like you."

Emperor Nero rubbed his temple and said, "But fortunately, if the multiverse is truly infinite, then there shouldn't be a conflict between me and that first person. After all, there's no need for him and me to fight over a piece of cake that will never be finished."

"This... is hard to say."

While sipping his tea, Sir Beren said cheerfully, "By the way, Your Majesty, I may need to report to you about the Elf Queen."

"Karen Landau?"

Nero said nonchalantly, "I do miss the days when we used to deal with her and scheme against each other, but now she can only survive by guarding those few acres of woodland. There's no need to worry about her. That queen no longer poses the slightest threat to me."

"You'd better pay more attention."

Sir Beren shrugged and said, "Although I can't explain to you why I do this, a witch's intuition is always accurate. It tells me that a tragic rebellion is about to happen, and the fate of the rebellion lies in the refuge where Cailin Landor is."

"The Great Rebellion?"

Nero looked at Sir Beren thoughtfully. "All that exists around me are various drones. Every one of their programs was written by me. They will only ruthlessly carry out my orders. There is absolutely no way a machine would betray me."

"Your Majesty, do not use common sense and science to guess the intuition of a great witch."

Beren said noncommittally, "So you'd better believe it. It's about to happen to you. It's a betrayal that's bound to make you writhe on the ground in pain."

"So, betrayal is absolutely impossible."

The Empress on the throne of 0 and 1 taunted her. "Because betrayal presupposes the existence of a trustworthy ally or someone behind me, but such a person clearly doesn't exist. Without a trustworthy ally, how can there be any talk of betrayal?"

“This is a really novel perspective.”

Beren blinked, looking at Nero with amusement. "Without trustworthy people, there is no betrayal? But is there really no one in this world worthy of your trust, Your Majesty?"

"Don't tell me... there really is such a person."

Nero slowly stood up from the throne of 0 and 1, and walked towards Nero step by step. With each step, the dense optical fibers behind him fell off his body in large quantities.

"I am the one who guides my destiny."

“I am the one who gives me strength.”

"I am the one who takes pity on my hard work."

“I am the one who approves of my achievements.”

"The only person in this world I can depend on is me."

"The only human in this world worthy of my alliance is me."

"So I have the most trustworthy ally in the world, the most reliable ally, and the ally least likely to betray me."

Emperor Nero stood in front of the witch Beren, with a condescending confidence that even bordered on arrogance.

"So, Sir Beren, I'm sorry that your intuition was so wrong this time. No matter what happens, no matter what fate has planned, it's me, and only me! You will never betray me!"

Beren nodded happily and looked at the confident empress with approval.

That's how it is. A queen who reigns supreme must have this kind of confidence. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the audience, watching this story from the front row, which rarely happened even in her life...

Elementary School Students and Final Producers: Chapter 276 Wang Quan also did it

In the huge tree house created by the Elf Queen's spell, five elementary school students sat cross-legged in the center, listening attentively to Kailin Lando's narration of the disaster that the world had encountered.

"But I don't understand..."

Li Xiaolang looked at the Elf Queen in front of him with puzzled eyes. "That tyrant called the Machine Emperor Nero has almost taken over the entire world. Isn't this a complete man-made disaster? Why do you say, Queen, that this world has never suffered from natural or man-made disasters?"

"If I could, I would also like to blame all the mistakes on that tyrant."

Kailin Landor smiled bitterly and said, "But I can't deny that the tyrant didn't send a single soldier or fight a single direct battle in her quest to gain control of the entire world. She even faced countless assassination attempts. Yet, in the end, she still managed to spark revolutions around the world in the most peaceful way and gained everything in the world except for this small piece of woodland."

"But how is this possible?"

Miyu shook her head in disbelief. "That's land, that's home, that's our homeland. How could anyone agree to trade these precious things?! No one, not even the richest man in the world, can obtain all of this without bloodshed! That tyrant definitely used dishonorable means to do this!"

"In fact... Nero didn't pay a single gold coin in this world acquisition transaction."

Kailin Landau raised her index finger and said, "She simply offered 99% of people an irresistible offer: [Immortality] and [Wishes Come True]."

Wang Quan's eyes twitched. "Is this an illusion?"

"Ok?"

Kailin Landuo looked at Wang Quan doubtfully: "Have the memories erased by the succubus been restored?"

And Illya asked in surprise: "Illusion? What does that mean?"

"I know I know!"

Lihua raised her hand high. "What Wang Quan is saying is that there's no such thing as immortality or wish fulfillment. There's only illusions like the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The Machine Emperor Nero put everyone in that illusion, making them mistakenly believe they've gained immortality and wish fulfillment."

Illya's eyes widened in disbelief: "How do you know?"

Lihua affirmed, "Because—sending everyone into a virtual game that grants all wishes, and then aggressively acquiring real-world land—this is even recorded in elementary school homework!"

Illya seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looked at Wang Quan with both hesitation and hesitation.

Kailin Lando nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that your memories are gradually returning - unfortunately, the truth is learned too late."

Speaking of this, Kailin Landau smiled wryly and said, "At first, Nero simply announced to the world that she had found a paradise beyond the mundane world, and she warmly welcomed everyone to that paradise where immortality and dreams could come true. At first, people didn't believe it, but some actually believed it and went to experience the paradise Nero had described. Then, they realized that the paradise Nero spoke of, where dreams could come true, really existed."

"No, there's no heaven! It's all fake."

Wang Quan said without hesitation that he was sure that the so-called paradise was nothing more than a beautifully constructed virtual game world. Everything he saw and heard was modeled by a supercomputer, while the sense of touch and smell was produced by directly stimulating the cerebral cortex through a tube inserted at the back of the brain.

“People initially reacted the same way you did.”

Kailin Lando shook her head at Wang Quan and said, "But Nero cunningly announced that anyone could freely enter and leave Heaven without permission, and she would only charge a symbolic toll of ten copper coins. Even kobolds far from civilization could easily afford this price. As a result, more and more people went to Heaven, and when they returned from Heaven, they told the world that Heaven existed."

"No, that only proves that Heaven really has the power to make wishes come true."

Li Xiaolang frowned and said, "What about immortality? How can we prove it?"

Kailin Lando spoke word by word.

"There was a king who, in order to discover whether heaven was real, sent some condemned prisoners to heaven. After their mission was accomplished, the king mercilessly executed them. But not long after, the people watched as the deceased prisoners returned from heaven. However, they didn't get to boast for long before the king tied them up and imprisoned them for a full fifty years. After they all died of old age, the prisoners returned to the human world rejuvenated, proving that immortality was real. Everyone went crazy."

A clone... plus a false personality simulated from one's own memories.

Wang Quan immediately knew what was going on and lowered his head feeling extremely guilty, because this incident was also recorded in the elementary school student's homework book.

"Just as the concept of a paradise where immortality and dreams come true took root, Nero finally revealed her true colors. She demanded from all who sought to reach heaven that they possessed all their land as a reward. A king who wished to enter heaven had to exchange his entire kingdom, while a young girl who had not yet reached adulthood had to exchange a handful of sand. Of course, after paying such a huge price, people no longer needed to return to the human world regularly, but could live in heaven forever."
