Chapter 463 The Last Flame

"You have seen what this world has become. Who do you think you should trust?" Lin Yan asked back.

"Maybe this is just another dead world, or some big void. Who knows? I have been through hundreds of battles. I have seen all kinds of scenes." Chen Ke said unhappily.

Chen Ke found a big box and sat on it. His mouth was dry and his head was buzzing. He no longer had the energy to argue too much.

"It can be seen that you have experienced a lot, but do you really think that this is just another abandoned time and space?" Lin Yan continued to ask.

Chen Ke did not answer. He has now become an ordinary person without any ability and is unarmed.

"You already have the answer in your heart. You just don't want to face it. This is the base reality, the end of time, and you are just the echo of a world after a restart. So your abilities and your equipment are all gone." Lin Yan said again.

"If this is the true appearance of this world, what else can you do? I am the only unreal human left in the world. Is this what you can do after restarting the timeline? What do you want me to do for you? Go out and fight the gods with bare hands? Why should I do that? I ate hot pot and sang songs, and traveled through time after a nap at night. How did you think I survive these few months? The Foundation can't even kill the family, and now it wants to kill the gods?" Chen Ke sighed.

"Just because we can't do it doesn't mean that humans can't do it. This is why we have to use the power of the gods to interfere with the timeline. In its dreams, the history of Homo sapiens is repeated over and over again, hoping that there will always be a time when humans can find a way to kill the gods. But every time, humans will self-disintegrate due to internal problems." Lin Yan said.

"It sounds like you are just hiding in your bunker to buy lottery tickets. Since you can't kill the gods, what is this thing?" Chen Ke looked at the white giant and asked.

"It was in a dying state when it was born. We just happened to get it. The number is HCP0001. It is an extraordinary measure of the Foundation. We call it Deus Ex Machina. Its dreams can form a rhythm that interferes with the timeline. It can shuttle between reality and dreams. But when the echoes in the dream travel through reality, its existence is just a superposition state, so you exist and do not exist at the same time. And you have lost all the abilities in the dream." Lin Yan said.

"You mean, I have been living in a dream... I can't accept it. That feeling... is so real, how can it be a dream?" Chen Ke said.

"God's Dream is just a name given by the Foundation to this ability. We still cannot explain the principle of this dream in a scientific way, but it is feasible to use it to reverse time. Your life really existed, but it is already in the past. We just restarted this period with the help of the power of the gods and gave it factors that only exist in the distant future. I hope that humans can contact and use that kind of inhuman power as soon as possible and find a way to defeat the gods." Lin Yan explained.

"With every restart, the historical development of mankind will have a slight deviation. The historical milestones of each country and each nation will be advanced or delayed, and the names will become different, but without exception, they will all come into contact with non-human power in earlier years, and at the same time, give birth to two opposing organizations, the Foundation and the Descendants." Lin Yan continued.

"That's why the United Federation is not called the United States... and in that history, humans officially disclosed the power of psychic power in 1910... Why do the two organizations, the Foundation and the Descendants, linger every time they are restarted?" Chen Ke asked.

"Because it represents two views of human beings on supernatural power, and it is a struggle between reason and emotion. But they have not found the answer to solve the problem, so they are not important." Lin Yan said.

"Then the country and era I live in... is also part of the restart?" Chen Ke asked.

"No, you come from the history of our world. In that era, there was no non-human power. If I remember correctly, this year should be 2137, and you come from 2018." Lin Yan said.

"The god is dying. It was already a deformed fetus when it was born, and every time it restarts, the price is life. You just said that our foundation only hides in the bunker to buy lottery tickets, but let me ask you, have you seen any living people?" Lin Yan said.

"Not even a corpse." Chen Ke answered truthfully.

"They, including me, are all in this jar. The price of the god restarting the world is a human life, and the brain nerve activity is extremely high. The foundation has gathered the world's top scientists and scholars, and they are all lying in it. Every time the world is restarted, one will die. And I am the last one, I am in jar No. 999, do you want to see me?" Lin Yan said.

Chen Ke jumped off the box, walked to the right side of the white giant, and stopped in front of jar No. 999. He stroked the jar body, and with a snap, the outer shell of the jar loosened, and the front shield was opened, revealing the glass bottle wrapped inside.

The glass bottle was filled with green liquid. A bald woman curled up inside, her body was skinny and bones, she was only alive on nutrient solution, her eyes were closed, like a fetus still in amniotic fluid, her body was full of various tubes.

"What... are you talking to me through?" Chen Ke asked.

"I connected my brain to the computer to form a consciousness stream. After restarting the world, my vitality was exhausted. Now I am afraid that I can only live for more than a week. By then, the power supply and life support devices of this underground shelter will stop. By then, mankind will really become history." Lin Yan said.

"After 999 restarts, the Foundation will not have the power to restart again. That's why I want to call you from the subjective reality to the base reality. When I restarted the world, I also launched the power of this god to that new world. When a soul from the base reality combines with a body in the subjective reality, he will become a god among men and lead mankind through a new childhood... Obviously, I succeeded. You are the incarnation of that god. You will walk in time and space and become the guardian of mankind." Lin Yan continued.

"Why me...? Don't say I am the reincarnation of that white thing." Chen Ke said.

"No reason, this is just a one in 7 billion chance. I don't know who will get this power in the end, and I don't know if that person can hold on until the moment I call him here. You are an ordinary man and woman, born an ordinary person, but from now on, you will become special. This is the mission I impose on you... Observe the world of the 999th human beings. If you think they have no hope, give them the 1000th chance..." Lin Yan said.

"The 1000th time... You are asking me... What will happen if I do this? What about restarting the previous world? What will happen?" Chen Ke asked with a short breath.

"Disappear." Lin Yan said simply.

Chen Ke was silent.

"This is our sacrifice, this is the determination of mankind." Lin Yan said.

"You are asking me to drag the whole world to die together..." Chen Ke said.

"We... are already dead. You are the last chance for mankind to pass on the torch of mankind, let them find a way to kill the gods and avenge us!"
