CHAPTER 819: CHAPTER 817·“TE·REBIRTH OF ALL THINGS (12)”

"I still have a box of matches! I’ll give them all to you, Captain!" On the street, a woman handed the matches she was holding to Noel and his soldiers.

"Captain, what exactly do you need the fireseed for? You’re piling combustible materials on the ground, many areas of the city-state are already on fire, be careful not to cause another blaze," said an old man.

"It’s fine," Noel smiled. "It’s a secret."

...

[City of Measurement, Inner City’s Main Energy Station.]

[6 km from the Central Building.]

...

"One, two, three—!"

The deputy leader of the Hawk Hound, an elderly lady with white hair, Anjie Kalis, led several squads of soldiers, using the most primitive strength to pry open locks and activate the last lighting devices of the city-state.

The soldiers uniformly pressed the activation button. With a click, bright light radiated from three turning lamps.

"It’s on!"

"Captain! The lights are on! These are the only usable lights remaining in the city-state!"

Anjie looked up, her vision filled with bright radiance. Her cloudy pupils slightly glowed.

At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed illuminated.

"Act according to the City Lord’s orders!" Anjie said.

"Yes!"

Since Eternal Night, the City of Measurement had never been so bright, soldiers maneuvered the turning lamps, several high turning lamps soared towards the Central Building, casting roguishly round glows over its surface.

Most of the city-state remained in darkness, only the Central Building began to shine brightly, as if a luminous glass column rising from the ground, reflecting diamond-like glows.

The Central Building shone as brightly as daylight.

...

[City of Measurement, Inner City.]

[2 km from the Central Building.]

...

Beneath the dense black mist, a figure slowly ascended into the high sky.

Transparent threads suspended his stiff body, like dragging along a piece of firm ice.

Scaling floors, crossing rooftops, his height steadily rose. The shadow reflected on the Central Building’s glass, black hair swaying wildly in the wind, like wheat waves tumbling in autumn.

Just like this, he kept rising higher on the threads, as if riding the wind away.

—Nearby, Yamada Machiichi was the first to notice this scene.

Yamada Machiichi was protecting a few panicked female students, intending to take them to safety. It was then he inadvertently lifted his head and saw the distant building—a scene where countless spider thread-like threads were suspending a silhouette, inch by inch rising.

The threads wove into a transparent net, like constantly blooming and withering white orchids, layer by layer spreading open.

This scene entered Yamada Machiichi’s gaze, and his heartbeat suddenly became very, very fast.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Clearly just seeing a person ascending on threads, Yamada Machiichi, seemed as if he saw someone pulling spider threads, a new god about to be born.

In parable stories written by Fusang authors, Kando saw a spider thread dangling due to a benevolent act from the bottom layers of hell. He firmly grasped that thread to climb upward, believing that reaching the top he would be saved. Although his final fate was to fall back into hell, this also represents a concept.

As if whoever grasps the spider thread can obtain redemption, or even transform into a new god.

"Miss, what’s wrong?" The female student by his side timidly asked him, "What did you see?"

Yamada Machiichi touched his chest, clearly hearing his heartbeat.

He knew that the person using the threads to climb buildings was Su Ming’an. Although he also didn’t know what Su Ming’an intended to do, he knew it must be very important. Even though Su Ming’an had achieved a Perfect Pass, he still chose to endure such hardship.

"I..."

Flames rose from all parts of the city-state, Yamada Machiichi protected them, heading towards the towering Constantine University within the black mist.

He gazed at that majestic and solemn building, pondering:

"I wonder why people always ’do the impossible despite knowing they shouldn’t’."

"I wonder what kind of world this truly is."

...

[City of Measurement, Inner City.]

[0 km from the Central Building.]

...

Within the halo of light, a silhouette ascended via threads until he stood on the highest rooftop of the Central Building.

His robes rose with the long wind, scattering fine frost like fireflies dancing in the light.

Black hair still retained traces of ice shards, fluttering lightly in the air, like intricate points of light dancing upon glass.

People could clearly see him.

"—Su Ming’an?" A player immediately called out.

"—It’s Su Ming’an, it’s the Number One Player! What’s he trying to do?"

The Central Building was so dazzling. Despite the city-state being in extreme darkness, it shone like a budding sprout breaking through the earth, drawing all eyes from the darkness.

Su Ming’an stepped on the building’s rooftop.

One step, two steps, three steps.

He moved from shadow to light, a flying camera hovered around him. Should people turn on their TVs, they would see Su Ming’an on the screen—his face showing patches of purple-black frostbite, the back of his hand covered in vast unmelted frost, his movements stiff, as if half of his body had already lost sensation.

Rain "pitter-pattered" against his body, merging with the hard ice fragments. His entire robe was encased in a layer of fine frost, as if he’d just crawled out from an ice cavern.

He faced the cloud-covered city-state, slowly lifting his head, his gaze fixed on the void in the high sky. Between the horizon, the black earth and the dense low clouds merged as one, nearly inseparable.

Though clearly there was nothing there, he remained in a standing position, observing.

"Su Ming’an. What exactly are you doing?" The deity grew increasingly puzzled.

The Deity always took pride in "nothing in the Ruined World escapes his eyes." Because he could see everything, there was nothing he overlooked.

However—Su Ming’an ascended through the Puppet Threads, rising from the depths of the hibernation basement all the way to the rooftop of the highest floor of the Central Building—actions that finally left the Deity unable to comprehend Su Ming’an’s intentions.

Moreover, the bewildering orders throughout the City-State also puzzled the Deity.

Su Ming’an raised his hand.

The white Pattern Marks of six Perfect Passes on his hand gleamed.

Bright lights shone on the back of his hand, lending it a lustrous sheen. Countless gazes focused here, like spotlights.

—At this moment, he resembled a Lighthouse in the darkness.

Using his body as fuel, he ignited the hope of the entire civilization.

"Ta Wei—I know you have more than one person like a ’Deity.’" Su Ming’an spoke to the air.

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it was completely captured.

Below, people whispered to each other, a brief commotion arose.

"Currently, I have gathered all five Dawn Codes. I possess immediate authority over [Restarting the Dawn System], [Shutting down the Dawn System], and [Maintaining the Dawn System]." Su Ming’an continued speaking to the air:

"I can collaborate with any of you, revealing the five codes to any one side."

"As long as you promise to spare at least one billion lives in the Ruined World and use the Civilization Gambling Pact as proof. The first to promise to me, I will reveal the five codes to him/her/it. From then on, the Dawn System belongs to you."

"Even if the Deity takes over the Ruined World, you can contest the Deity’s rule, possibly even replace it. I think this is your only opportunity to change the highest leader."

After saying these words, he stood quietly in place, without words or movement.

The City-State exploded with shock at the magnitude of what he had said.

"What is he saying?" Violet, sitting in the airplane cabin, saw this scene through the glass, her lips trembling: "Is Su Ming’an trying to negotiate with Ta Wei? Can this be negotiated?"

"Su Ming’an aims to trade the Dawn System for a billion lives in the Ruined World?" Aylan took a match from an old lady and looked up at the Central Building.

"The City Lord is..." Even the residents and soldiers were stunned.

Only Su Ming’an remained calm, motionless as if awaiting a distant response. Even though he couldn’t confirm whether Ta Wei could hear his earlier words. But humans are naturally gamblers.

Although Su Ming’an had only acquired four codes so far, with the last one still with Dong An’an, only he knew the progress of collecting the codes, and he could falsely claim he had gathered them all, as long as he feigned convincingly.

As for the reason he said these words...

Long ago, Su Ming’an perceived an intriguing fact—the Deity differed from Yasa Acto. The Deity seems not to be Ta Wei’s sole leader; Ta Wei’s internal relations aren’t that harmonious.

The first clue was when, at the start of the instance, Su Ming’an was killed by the Dawn System during a night meeting for exposing his Player identity. But later information revealed the Deity already knew Su Ming’an was a Player. Then, for whom did the Dawn System act during that time?

No matter for whom, it certainly wasn’t for the Deity.

Thus, Su Ming’an keenly caught this information—Ta Wei’s highest leader is not solely the Deity. Ta Wei likely has multiple leaders similar to a "Deity," with barriers to information among them, mutual distrust akin to the Darkness Forest Law.

The second clue was during the moment when Red-eyed Noel was invading Yamada Machiichi, and the Deity spoke a sentence.

...

["Deity—quickly stop Noel, he’s been invaded by Ta Wei, aren’t you Ta Wei?" Su Ming’an saw Red-eyed Noel harming Yamada Machiichi and immediately conversed with the Deity.]

["No way..." The Deity’s voice quickly arose: "Ta Wei isn’t just me."]

...

The Deity was helpless against other Ta Wei. His tone was intriguingly memorable to Su Ming’an at the time.

In a civilization, there are heroes, greats, and villains. Within Ta Wei, the Deity couldn’t be without enemies.

From another perspective, the Ruined World is a piece of delicious meat, surrounded by wolves, yet wolves can’t equally share it. The Ruined World’s technology level lags far behind, making it impossible to compete with Ta Wei. Yet it has persistently existed amid crises for a full hundred and two years—exactly because of the Dawn System.

The Dawn System, based on Yasa Acto’s recollections, was a contingency left during the Century Catastrophe—is such a miraculous object far surpassing the Ruined World’s technological level, no matter how smart Acto was, couldn’t have been created in Catastrophe’s first year, nor could it have established a solid dimensional firewall in an instant.

The Dawn System is excessively mismatched, almost like... a product beyond its era.

This product beyond its era... not even the high-level civilization Ta Wei could break it. Clearly, the Dawn System is also desired by Ta Wei, something like a miraculous object.

If it can be leveraged to negotiate with Ta Wei, then...

"So that’s your purpose." The Deity immediately deduced all the above, sneering: "I admit, it’s a good strategy, perhaps useful, perhaps not."

He had to admit that Su Ming’an had vaulted beyond the game possible in the Ruined World, reaching the height of a chess holder, overlooking the battle of civilization.

Grasping the Dawn System equates to grasping the entire Ruined World. The Deity aimed to invade Su Ming’an to obtain the complete state of the Dawn System.

But if the Dawn System were taken by someone else, for the Deity, it would be akin to someone else snatching the peach at the final moment. Ta Wei also has figures like "Edward," "Mizushima Kawa Sora." These people have no future for civilization in their eyes; if they obtained the Dawn System, the future would be unimaginable.

At that time, even if Ta Wei took over the Ruined World, Ta Wei would plunge into internal chaos.

"...Yasa Acto, do you truly wish to use this to sign a Civilization Gambling Pact with us?"

At that moment.

A voice indistinguishable between male and female came from the sky, seemingly gathering several sharp gazes upon the building.

The rain curtain seemed to be sliced open by an unseen force, the sky churned with blood-red waves, each crest formed of data. As they drew closer to the building, like an impending tsunami, they sounded a roar audible across the City-State.

Su Ming’an’s conditions are highly tempting, merely "spare one billion lives in the Ruined World," not "spare the entire Ruined World." If Su Ming’an’s conditions were the latter, Ta Wei would surely refuse, because sparing the Ruined World would also lead to the destruction of the civilization nearing its end. But if it were the former, such conditions aren’t difficult for them.

Just promise to spare one billion lives in the Ruined World to gain control of the Dawn System and the Ruined World, snatching the Deity’s peach. Surely, someone would agree.

"Of course." Su Ming’an spoke in that direction: "As long as someone agrees with my pact, spares one billion lives in the Ruined World. I will inform that person of the five Dawn Codes."

He placed his index finger against his lips, lowering his voice:

"...No matter who this person is."

"Su Ming’an." The Deity’s tone grew somber: "Stop your actions."

Su Ming’an laughed instead, continuing to press his index finger to his lips, making a ’shush’ gesture:

"Alright."

"Shut up, those with unpleasant voices."
