Chapter 110: Understanding Cause and Effect

"Mao Tao, haven't you seen all those prickly hairs?"
"...Why do I feel like you're speaking in metaphors, Lin Yuan? You've become mischievous."
Cheng Xiaoxiao bit into a peach while staring at Lin Yuan with piercing eyes.
"For the love of heaven, is there anyone in this world more righteous than me, Lin Yuan?"
"Cheng Xiaoxiao, you've become bad, you've become really bad!"
The awkwardness disappeared quickly as the two long-lost friends chatted more and more happily. By the time a little golden light appeared at the edge of the sky outside, their conversation started to die down.
The smile on Cheng Xiaoxiao's face slowly disappeared as she looked at Lin Yuan and asked seriously:
"Lin Yuan, can you tell me, what am I now?"
The smile on Lin Yuan's face also faded slowly. He took Cheng Xiaoxiao's hands and pulled her up, then turned and walked towards the outside world.
"Be careful!"
Looking at the dark seawater below, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but Lin Yuan shook his head and took her step by step out.
Without falling into the sea, the two stood in mid-air, and Lin Yuan pointed to the distance, smiling and saying:
"The sun is about to come out. Take a good look at the sunrise over the West Sea. It's so beautiful that it makes your heart tremble."
As she spoke, a golden ray of light pierced through the night like a long sword. The sunlight instantly flooded the sky and earth, and the black night quickly dissipated. The previously ordinary seawater reflected a stunning rainbow of colors, and Cheng Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned.
Just as Lin Yuan said, the sunrise in the Western Sea is truly breathtaking.
"Lin Yuan, am I dead?"
"You're not dead, but rather further into a state of virtualization than death."
Lin Yuan didn't conceal anything, and directly spoke about Cheng Xiaoxiao's state as he watched the sunrise.
Although staying at home these days, Lin Yuan didn't just idle around. During his free time, he always tested certain things he couldn't do before.
The result was found that my abilities had surprisingly changed compared to the past.
The identity of the controller disappeared, but the control over the metaverse became even better. Even the Green Rune Space can be accessed easily, which was unimaginable in the past.
林渊一直想要再次找到乾帝，可无数次的寻觅，却未发现一点蛛丝马迹，就仿佛他并不存在一般。
之所以召唤出程小小，那是因为林渊冥冥中有了一丝感悟，自己成为大罗金仙后，若想再有进步，那必须念头通畅。
Some regrets from the past need to be made up for and let go of.
The chance encounter on the street, the innocent first love, the regretful parting - Lin Yuan wants to make the endings complete.
"Blur, what is that?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao asked with doubt, and Lin Yuan let go of her hand, making a please gesture. The two of them stepped towards the place where the sun rises.
"The universe we are in is called the Primordial Universe, and the place where we are located is the source of the Primordial Universe, the Demon Star."
Lin Yuan talked about the changes in the metaverse, the demon star, and the earth one by one, and the sun rose slowly. The two of them stepped on the seven-color wave and went farther and farther.
There is a lot to talk about. Lin Yuan picked out easy-to-understand and important things and said them once, and Cheng Xiaoxiao listened in amazement.
“The number of living beings on Earth is huge, and the metaverse needs to maintain its operation. Therefore, the vast majority of them can only be transformed into data storage through virtualization.”
“After numerous restarts, the emptiness of virtual space is filled with repetitive but slightly different data.”
"If one day circumstances permit, the metaverse will unleash an unimaginable radiance in an instant. Countless worlds, countless time and space, countless dimensions interweave and intersect. What a breathtaking existence that would be?"
"...it's also possible that it could be another kind of fairyland in a different sense!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan suddenly had a glimmer of understanding. Could it be that the multiverse was like a seed that, given the chance to grow, would become an unimaginable existence?
"So, am I just data now?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao's voice was a little hoarse, and her body trembled slightly. Lin Yuan pursed his lips, about to say something, when Xiao Caiflag suddenly emerged from the water:
"Your Majesty, the lobster is grilled to perfection!"
The little one spoke with a bit of hesitation, and Lin Yuan patted her head and said with a smile:
"Cai Qi, go to the shore and find Joelney to help you grill it. I have something to do today."
"Yes!"
The Rainbow Mermaid nodded her head and disappeared with a swift dive.
"...this world is truly beautiful, just like the fairytale world in legends."
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, but couldn't hide her pale face.
"I want to really live and see this beautiful world."
"Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaoxiao covered her face with her hands and started crying."
Her memories still remain from several years ago, frozen at the moment when she was injured and thought she was going to die, when darkness swept in.
Linyuan smiled as he watched Cheng Xiaoxiao cry:
"Cheng Xiaoxiao, silently say my name in your heart and ask me to grant you the life you desire."
Cheng Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and looked at Linyuan in surprise.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at her:
"Give it a try, whether you succeed or fail, it doesn't cost any money."
With her hands clasped together, Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes somewhat skeptically and silently prayed to Lin Yuan for a new lease on life.
"Thud!"
Feeling dizzy and disoriented, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt like she had been hit on the head with a hammer and was in pain and confusion for a long time before she finally regained consciousness.
Opening her eyes, Cheng Xiaoxiao was surprised to find herself no longer at the seaside but in a busy transportation hub with all sorts of strange creatures speaking different languages constantly coming and going.
"Where am I now?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a little scared. Where did Lin Yuan go? Why did she suddenly appear here?
"Cheng Xiaoxiao, please follow me."
A sweet voice sounded beside her. Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around and her eyes shrank at the sight of a pure white angel with five pairs of wings, emitting a sparkling glow, and multicolored backlight behind her, smiling at her.
"Who are you?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes in disbelief, the angel still stood by her side.
"I am Gabriel, sent by the Lord to take you to New Earth. Please follow me."
Gabriel has incredible power, which instantly calms down Cheng Xiaoxiao's fluctuating mood. The obedient ones followed Gabriel towards the teleportation door.
Stepping into the teleportation door, the environment suddenly changed - with a familiar yet refreshing atmosphere, and the distant city skyline that Cheng Xiaoxiao was so familiar with - instantly bringing tears to her eyes.
"Hello Er Yuan Lao, I am acting under the authority of the Creator to bring the person of karma here. Please contact her family who was brought here earlier so they can be reunited."
Gabriel bowed to the massive World Tree, and Nannan stretched out a slender branch and gently shook it:
"Gabriel, there's no need for this. I've informed the Grand Elder and the caravan will be here soon."
Cheng Xiaoxiao suppressed her shock and gently pulled on Gabriel's snowy wings, cautiously asking:
"Who is the so-called ruler you are talking about?"
She asked this question because she had a suspicion in her heart.
"The ruler is the supreme existence of the cosmic universe, the protector of all creatures, the unique original spirit, surnamed Lin, named Yuan!"
Gabriel lightly pounded his chest and answered in the most respectful tone.
