  【This is an unpleasant journey. 】

　　　【Countless people are sinking into numbness and suffering for generations, just to light the ark and swim for thousands of years. 】

　　【There is nothing worth remembering during the journey. There is no white bird that I can never forget, no folded ear that makes me cry, and no bright and great savior. The impression most people have on me is that they are selfish, weak and mediocre. 】

　　【But I understand one thing. I have seen the obsession and stubbornness of billions of human beings from life to life. It turns out this is not an ideal world. 】

　　【It turns out that salvation is the responsibility of "everyone", and it is reflected in a complex and complete salvation structure. 】

  【Saturated salvation. I understood the concept - no matter which person or position is missing, someone will quickly take their place. Instead of "nine seats", there are "hundred seats", "ten thousand seats" and "seven billion seats". There is no real "savior" because everyone is a "savior". 】

  【I see different "possibility" of the world after the world game. 】

—Fate, it turns out, "the first thing you follow its guidance will lead directly to the end." But the stubbornness of fate is that even if you know that you have been arranged, you will embark on this path without hesitation. As I now know the truth, if I had to do it again, I would still not regret the way I left. 】

　　【In this way, it turns out that "death return" is also a kind of fate, which arranged my journey. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Is it cowardice, timidity, or daring not to resist? Is it a lack of courage to break through fate? Is it the mediocrity of the masses? 】

　　…No, maybe there is another possibility. 】

　　「“Knowing that you cannot do something but doing it” turns out to be a kind of determination and bravery. 】

I sat on the bed and looked at the sword blade in my hand. It looked more and more dazzling. 】

　　【I swear with this sword to protect the glory of mankind to the death. 】

—Su Mingan’s thoughts in the early morning of the 14th day after the dungeon was opened. 】

 …

　　【Ah, surely a thousand years from now, it must be a very developed era! 】

  【People will no longer be trapped in disease and poverty! The prosperous age of great harmony should be realized! 】

　　【Highly nutritious, low-cost nutritional medicines must have appeared! We no longer need low-quality eating. 】

　　【The legendary space teleporter must have been invented! People no longer need to take cumbersome planes and high-speed trains. 】

  【Thousands of years later, it will definitely be so developed! I really want to see it! 】

 【—Tianshidai year 0, a fifth grade primary school student's composition "If I Come to a Thousand Years Later"]

 …

I think that after a thousand years, under the leadership of the gods, there will be no discrimination between people. 】

　　　Because at that time, everyone’s wealth was equal, and there was no distinction between high and low. 】

  【Occupations have become equal since then because of overcapacity. If you want to draw, you can draw freely. If you want braised pork ribs, a robot will automatically bring them to you. Don’t worry about going hungry chasing your dreams. No one will die because of high-dimensional beings. 】

 【—Tweets written by a sophomore student in the 0th year of Tianshi Generation, "The Thousand Years Later I Yearn for"】

 …

  【The Ark has set sail, it will go through a long time...】

　　【Human life span cannot exceed a hundred years, and our generation will soon grow old and die. But the next generation takes our place and continues to watch this ark sailing for thousands of years... until forty or fifty generations later. Only they had the chance to see the day the Ark arrived. 】

　　【Haha, you ask me why I care so much about the future? Yes, old man, I am seventy or eighty this year. I can’t even live for ten or twenty years. How can I talk about such a huge number as "a thousand years"? 】

  【Longing for it! 】

【look forward to! 】

  【Under the leadership of God, it must have been a beautiful and free era! 】

　　【At that time, high-dimensional people will be completely driven away. Although everyone's life may not be satisfactory, after all, I know that every era cannot be ideal, and it will be the same a thousand years later. There will definitely be discrimination, disputes, class chains, and all kinds of selfish and despicable people. group. But...what does that matter? 】

　　【This is real human beings! There will always be moments when you are as despicable as dust, and there are moments when you are as noble as a lighthouse. 】

　　【As long as you live, that's fine. As long as civilization still exists, that's fine. 】

　　【Here, we salute the God who leads us forward! 】

　　【Respect - the everlasting light! 】

　　【Respect - the wind of freedom! 】

　　【Respect - the always-bright lighthouse on the command boat! 】

　　【Respect humanity! Respect freedom! Here’s to the future! 】

  【People of forty or fifty generations later! Towards the "hometown" we can't reach - let's land! 】

   —An interview record of an old man in his 60s in front of a reporter in the 0th year of Tianshi generation. 】

 …

I have read simulations of millenniums later, and the year 829, which is closest to the millennium, is not ideal, and technology even lags behind ours. Unfortunately, your expectations are not met and people still cannot draw and sing freely. The last nightingale still has to find freedom in the steel jungle. 】

　　【However, I believe it was the night before dawn. 】

  【After expelling the double shadow, people will gain the freedom of an ideal country. 】

　　——In the 0th year of Tianshi Generation, the interview record of the Angel of Order Li Mingyue in front of reporters. 】

 …

【What? Public interview about... "Looking into the Millennium"? Conduct interviews with people of different identities, statuses, and ages, store them in the hard drive of life, and leave them to people a thousand years later...Which host came up with this brain-dead activity...How did the interview end up on me...]

　　【I have something to do, don't come to me. 】

　　…By the way, what I just said, pinch it out and do not record it. 】

　　—In the 0th year of the Tianshi Dynasty, the interview record of the Judgment Angel Chaoyan in front of reporters. 】   …

 In the dimly yellow room, Su Mingan looked out the window at the holy white buildings. Time is like a torrent, flowing around clearly, silently and silently.

 The thirty-fourth batch of time travelers has set sail. To date, he has sent away nearly fifty thousand people into all ages.

 Time flows very quickly. After gaining control of time, he gradually became less sensitive to time. Fortunately, there is system time as an anchor point.

He is looking at the list of time travellers, those who are alive and dead, as well as the major events on the command ship and the details of the Millennium Plan - these are all given to him by the gods for judgment. Because the gods do not have a human heart and only seek to maximize profits, after witnessing several cruel trials, Su Mingan decided to handle the incident together with the gods. He needs to be "human" around the gods.

 In the dim room, he looked at the time, took out a syringe, put it against his arm, and stabbed—

 “Tick-tock-tock…”

The pale golden blood gathered in the glass jar. When the glass jar was full, he touched the wound and it healed.

 “Xiao Ying.” Su Mingan called.

The black-haired young man appeared silently, as if he was already in the shadows.

 “Take these away.” Su Mingan put down the glass jar.

 These are "medicines".

 The Old Gods have experienced the first and fourth world games. Although he has not become a god, his body has experienced many promotions and evolutions, and is different from ordinary people. The strong energy is implemented in his body and has effects on others.

 The command ship sails outside the Ark and is not easy to operate. One hundred and ninety thousand people could only crowd into a holy city without any supplies from the outside world. Sometimes, when time-travelers come back, they carry all kinds of troubles with them, including serious injuries, pollution, and even being bewitched by the overlapping shadow. Dealing with these problems requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Sometimes, it is difficult to turn a corner in some eras. Considering the overall pollution rate, these eras cannot be turned a blind eye. The command ship must consume its own resources to support them. Whether it's manpower, authority, perfect customs seal...

　One is ebbing and the other is increasing, neither retreating nor advancing.

 This is a tug-of-war that will last for thousands of years. The overlapping shadows above the starry sky will not retreat even a step, and neither can humans.

The casualties were increasing day by day, but Su Mingan discovered that the flesh and blood of qualified people could supplement the vitality and energy consumption that people lacked.

 Everything that follows seems to be natural.

Just as Su Wensheng used his own blood to maintain the lives of seventy-two people in the hibernation cabin in the Human Self-Rescue Alliance, Su Mingan also took a similar action-donating blood.

 After all, he doesn’t have too heavy a job. He doesn't need to fight, so this is all he can do.

 The blood sloshed in the jar, making a crisp sound. Su Mingan lowered his eyebrows, it turned out that this was another reincarnation.

“…Stop taking blood so frequently. Gods do not have to be responsible for human deaths.” Xiao Ying held the glass jar. The pale golden blood has no trace of vitality, just like flowing liquid gold.

 Time seems to have been reversed. The original eldest prince Su Shaoqing was forced to bleed, and Xiao Jingsan was responsible for forcing him. Now Su Mingan volunteered to bleed, Xiao Ying persuaded him.

“When you locked me up in the Lou Yue era, you said – ‘Your value is only your blood supply’.” Su Mingan said.

 Xiao Ying's face darkened for a moment. He didn't expect that Su Ming'an could remember this incident so clearly that he, who was always sharp-tongued, opened his mouth, adjusted the blank on his face, and then showed his usual careless smile:

“…That’s different. Su Mingan is not Su Shaoqing, and I am not Xiao Jingsan.”

"If you really don't want to do things for me, you can leave. You follow me just because you lost a game of Russian roulette. This does not require you to gamble your life's freedom." Su Mingan said casually. He could see that Xiao Ying disliked him in every way, and always had a gun and a stick in his words. Even if Xiao Ying was strong, Su Mingan did not need a forced alliance.

 He lowered his head and did not see Xiao Ying's expression.

A look of astonishment, relief, and confusion drifted across Xiao Ying's face. After a long silence, he suddenly lowered his head, put his hands on the table, and said in a vicious tone:

“—You’ve done so many things to me, do you think everything can be cleared up?”

 “What?” Su Mingan was confused. What has he done?

"You imprisoned me in the Penglai Fairy Island in the Lou Yue era, abandoned me in the witch era, and took away my self in this world. Do you think there is still peace between us..." Xiao Ying whispered: "Since you want to Let me be free. You should have let me go to the vast world long before the gods cut thousands of timelines. Now that I am trapped in the Holy City, what's the use of saying that? Where else can I go? "

Su Mingan's expression went blank for a moment. He had never thought about this. Indeed, people who stay in Year 0 of the Heavenly Generation seem to be free, but in fact their scope of activities is limited to this holy city. Outside the Holy City are ten thousand disconnected timelines. Even if they traveled through time, they would still be outsiders.

Looking at Xiao Ying's back, Su Mingan suddenly realized that it was not Xiao Ying blaming him, but the words "you can leave" that stimulated Xiao Ying. This is no less than him saying "I don't need you anymore" to a hero.

…is that so.

 …

Su Mingan hasn’t communicated with Duoying for a long time.

The night part of the third tower has not yet come - after all, only a dozen hours have passed in the system time, but several months have passed in the sky generation. The flow of time will become faster and faster, because the system time will not exceed the "twenty days" limit, so the "millennium" will definitely be completed in just a few days.

 This means that he will spend a very long time in a very short time.

This day, he walked into a pure white cabin.

The room is filled with rows of hibernating cabins, which look like ice coffins.

The woman with rose-red hair was waiting indoors. Her fingers curled up the broken hair around her ears and smiled at him.

"Let me confirm with you." Xinyue took out the syringe: "Do you want to continue to provide blood to these people? The current number is 1,289. Do you need to reduce the number?"

 “Hmm.” This time, Su Mingan no longer hesitated like he did at the start of the dungeon.

 The only way to hang on to these dying people is to wait until their physical condition improves before they can embark on the next journey. This is the most cost-effective labor-saving strategy.

 He was holding a black-haired girl.

 After completing the mission in the Louyue era, Bai Lian returned to the Tianshi era 0. She was in very poor condition due to being a mutant for so long. On the verge of death, she looked at Su Mingan, her consciousness seemed to be blurred, and she kept shouting "Your Highness".

"Can we... still see the kite outside the palace wall... Your Highness?" When Su Ming'an put her into the hibernation cabin, she held Su Ming'an's hand tightly.

"Take a good rest." Su Mingan whispered: "Don't get too involved in the Lou Yue era. You have left that era, and I am not your highness."

 Those who travel through time cannot indulge in the times. After all, their hometown is Tianyi 0 years old. Even if they spend many years in other eras, due to the inconsistent time frequency, they will eventually come back after completing their mission.

 Yes, just like real fast travelers... they will eventually return to this space-time base station. Then, try to forget as much as possible about the life they have experienced before, and devote themselves to the next time travel. Regardless of whether they have a lover or children, in the end they cannot stay or retain anything.

In this long rescue of thousands of layers of time and space, the travelers cannot have their own independent lives, not even once.
