Welcome to Rewind World Game

Su Ming'an felt the overwhelming energy within the wooden box, its intensity left him startled.

"I call it the 'Super Drama Memory Lens'. If you open it, it might give birth to a great life," Ran Bo said excitedly.

Perhaps Su Ming'an's charm value was too high, Ran Bo whispered, "Let me tell you a secret. I've added the blood of the Rin Clan inside... When the previous generation of Rin Clan saved the world, my ancestors were lucky to pick up a drop of Rin Clan blood, and it came in handy."

"Are you creating an artificial Rin Clan?"

"It's not comparable to a true Rin Clan. After all, I'm just a mortal," Ran Bo said. "Just imagine, as soon as you open this box, a pseudo Rin Clan like a blank piece of paper is born... Tsk tsk, what an enticing result. Unfortunately, since Sique changed the rules, such a result can no longer be replicated. This research result could have changed the world, and I should have been famously remembered... Damn it, why did they steal my research!"

He seemed somewhat dazed, speaking in confusion: "Brother, Mom, Little Que... Why..."

At this moment, Eni and Fu En returned, and the door closed.

Xi Ting appeared on the high platform.

"The Mother Goddess has issued a decree, the heir selection begins," Xi Ting looked at Eni, "First, Prince Aier, please come up to accept the Mother Goddess."

Eni was stunned, walked up to the platform, and took a deep breath.

Since being reduced to a combat power unit, he had always been mocked on the world forum. Under the eyes of the public, if he could become the divine envoy of the Demon Mother Goddess, it would be like a salted fish turning over.

"I can surely do it..." Eni rubbed his hands and placed them on the amethyst.

"Please close your eyes and recite the prayers of the Mother Goddess. If the compatibility is sufficient, the Mother Goddess will descend upon you, appointing you as the divine envoy..." Xi Ting softly said.

Su Ming'an held his chin and suddenly reacted.

... No, Eni shouldn't be the first to go up.

In this kind of three choices situation, the story logic should have Tian Yu go up first. Everyone would think she would surely succeed, but she wouldn't. Fu En would laugh at her failure, thinking the position of divine envoy would surely be his since Eni was just a loser and could never surpass him. But when Fu En goes up, he also fails. People would then think that no one could become the divine envoy today. Instead, Eni, considered unlikely by everyone, would suddenly receive the Demon Mother Goddess's favor, strongly defying expectations!

Such a development is simply too satisfying; the World Tree couldn't love it more.

Instead, Eni went first.

The amethyst emitted a few rays of light, and Eni opened his eyes with no change in his body.

"Very regrettably, the Mother Goddess did not choose you," Xi Ting shook her head, "Next."

Cheers and laughter erupted. People had already anticipated this scene, and some of Fu En's supporters ridiculed Eni, saying he overestimated himself. Eni clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, feeling waves of humiliation—today everyone mocks him, thirty years east and thirty years west, he will surely make everyone regret in the future!

He stepped down shamefully and walked to Su Ming'an's side: "Aren't you the protagonist of Luowasha? As your supporting male character, I actually get humiliated in this kind of scene? Logically, I should embarrass everyone, right?"

Su Ming'an said calmly, "I am no longer the protagonist of Luowasha. Moreover, you're not a supporting character. My story hasn't even included your name."

Eni was shocked: "I'm not even considered a supporting character?"

Was he just cannon fodder in the eyes of the World Tree?

Su Ming'an said, "Think positively, if this isn't my story's main focus, but yours. Then you are the protagonist, and Tian Yu is the female lead. If she succeeds, you'll be motivated to catch up, so the focus would be more on you. From this perspective, isn't it better?"

Eni's clever little mind turned over several times: "Such a troublesome way of thinking."

"You should read more books."

Eni complained, "I've read as many books as you, just not in popular literature. Moreover, I don't want a female lead."

At this moment, Tian Yu stepped onto the platform.

She closed her eyes, touched the amethyst, took a deep breath... After several seconds, the amethyst brightened considerably.

"Miss Tian Yu, you performed better than Prince Aier, but the compatibility isn't very high," Xi Ting said. "Finally, let's have Prince Fu En give it a try."

With great confidence, Fu En stepped onto the platform, scanning Eni with a proud look as if to say he had already won.

People looked at Fu En enviously. If Fu En's compatibility was higher than Tian Yu's, he could become the divine envoy of the Mother Goddess, what an honor!

Ali, the captain of the Sky Alliance, furrowed his brows, a hint of thought flashing in his brown eyes.

Team member You Min whispered, "Captain, should we take action? Our mission is to support Tian Yu in winning the protagonist competition, if Fu En becomes the divine envoy, it's unfavorable for the mission."

Ali shook his head, "Let's wait a bit longer."

On the high platform, Fu En took a deep breath, recalling those happy times. He often felt like his father and mother loved him, but the love was superficial. If he obtained the divine envoy position, his father and mother would truly like him then...

He had everything from birth, but lacked real love.

Touching the amethyst, closing his eyes, silently reciting the prayer...

Whoosh—

At this moment, a gust of wind came from somewhere.

The candle flames inside the hall extinguished instantly, even the light of the kerosene lamp vanished in a moment. The curtains fluttered on their own, and people looked around in shock, gripping their wine glasses tightly.

"Hehe, hehe..."

A seductive laughter echoed from somewhere, making everyone's body tingle.

"—Is it the voice of the Mother Goddess?" A noblewoman closed her eyes in intoxication, listening to the laughter.

"—Is it the voice of the Lord?" An old man knelt on the ground.

On the wall was painted the hand of a demon emerging from a mirror, the emblem of the Demon Mother Goddess. Everyone knelt together, praying to the emblem, sincerely like during their pre-meal prayers.

"Did I succeed? Has the Mother Goddess come?" Fu En listened excitedly to the laughter.

"Hehe, hehe..."

The laughter grew louder, filled with magic and evil. The Demon Mother Goddess controlled mirrors, doom, sin, and freedom, being one of Luowasha's earliest deities.

As the laughter intensified, all the lights in the hall extinguished, plunging into darkness. Su Ming'an instinctively tried to grab Eni, but realized he couldn't feel anyone. He looked around, seeing nothing but the dark abyss.

Blackness covered everything.

In the pitch-black hall, only the high platform was illuminated.

On the high platform, Xi Ting smiled and glanced at Su Ming'an.

Su Ming'an's heartbeat quickened, as he seemed to realize something.

"——!"

Xi Ting spread her arms.

Her bones glowed with a scarlet hue, and a crimson silk cloth draped over her shoulders. As she spread her arms, shadows flickered on the walls. Under the tall, pale statue of the Mother Goddess, the blood-red Manzusha flowers bloomed.

"--Oh Lord! My faithful Lord! You have chosen your divine envoy among the three... No, sacrifice, I congratulate you on your arrival!"

Hearing this, Fu En showed a hint of confusion, and before he could react, Xi Ting had turned around, and the bone sword in her hand pierced his chest.

"...!"

Su Ming'an moved forward, surrounded by a thick, ink-like darkness. Everyone below the stage was confined in this darkness, unable to produce sound or touch each other.

He looked up at the ceiling of the hall. The mural and seven-colored stained glass overlapped, forming a half-circle dome, and at the highest point, a gray-white figure faintly appeared.

Its hair was frost-white like snow or like living white snakes. When it opened its eyes, people felt the scorching brilliance piercing them, causing their eyes to sting, unable to look directly.

A mountain-like pressure descended, and people fell to their knees in the thick, black ink, their vision blurry, as if staring at something indescribable.

Immediately, as if contaminated, their faces turned pale, their pupils colorless, and they called out in unison:

...

——Lotasha, Lotasha, I look up to Thee, yearning for Thy kindness.

Thy wisdom is endless, Thy vitality lasts long.

When vitality spreads across the earth, flowing through mountains and rivers, through flowers and trees,

Thee bestows, the sweet dew of all things' growth.

Praise, praise, praise, praise!

All people should worship Thee, all beings should sing of Thee, Thy name surpasses all, Thy grace is incomparable.

Angels kneel before Thy holy seat, stars shine under Thy gaze, Thy kingdom has no end!

...

Who are they singing to?

Who are they praising?

Everyone's face is full of fanaticism, the light in their eyes fades, as if their minds are controlled.

Su Ming'an looks up, coincidentally meeting a pair of green eyes.

——It is.

The Goddess of Life, Lotasha Ocassi Sylvia.

A mere glance from Her, and all beings have no choice but to kneel, their hearts full of joy and awe.

Then, Su Ming'an received another glance.

——It is.

The green-haired youth on the high platform, looking gently at Su Ming'an.

His eyes are the same vivid green as Lotasha's.

"Sique." Qi Jue mouthed silently, and the Goddess of Life floating above his head laughed, the two voices intertwined, as if one person was speaking, with the youth's young charm and the allure of a woman.

With curved eyebrows and surrounded by life:

"I really like your understanding of the Goddess of Life... of me, Sique."

...

[Xi Ting's finger bones tapped her chin: "You want to see the Goddess of Life, it's tonight."]

"Isn't tonight the selection for the divine envoy of the Demon Mother God?" Su Ming'an said.

"Shh..." Xi Ting seemed to smile, her bone-white finger bones stood in front of her mask: "Secret."]

...

"You have long submitted to the God of All Things' Doom?" Su Ming'an immediately looked at Xi Ting.

The ruler of the Hell Plane, Lord of the Undead Xi Ting.

What she believed in was not the Demon Mother Goddess Isabel, but the demonized Goddess of Life Lotasha. Her ceremony for the heir was a complete trap, she never intended to choose a divine envoy for Isabel.

——But to choose a sacrifice for Lotasha.

The shimmering green flame in Xi Ting's eyes flickered, she dragged her bright red silk cloth, walking step by step down the steps.

Ink blackness held Su Ming'an's legs, as if sinking into a swamp. He looked around, unable to see Eni or Tian Yu in the darkness.

Hard knuckles pressed against his forehead, Xi Ting approached, cold breath brushing his lashes:

"... Join us, Little Magpie."

Her voice was as light as a breeze.

"... Liberate your true nature, embrace yourself. You have been bound by duty... for too long. Don't you want to know how free you would be if you abandoned everything?"

"Your back is as heavy as a mountain, child. How young you are, with such a long future ahead of you... just nod, and your years won't end at nineteen."

"Just a nod, and the God of All Things' Doom... will come to liberate you."

Her knuckles circled his forehead, then slid to his face, like a blade poised to stab but not yet stabbing.

Su Ming'an lifted his arm, weighed down by darkness, his body heavy as if filled with lead, stiff and hard to move.

At the moment of absolute silence.

"—Presumptuous!"

On the high platform, Fu En pulled the knife from his chest and got up.

Xi Ting looked back at him in surprise, it was lucky for Fu En that she hadn't killed him with one stab.

Fu En staggered, his head full of golden hair spattered with blood, clutching his bleeding chest, his face pale, stepping on his own blood, walking forward step by step, supporting himself with courage and shouting loudly:

"—Don't tempt my idol, you demonized trash!"

...

"Pop!"

The liquid container shattered, Noel rolled on the ground, then got up.

"Beep—beep—"

The crimson alarm lights flashed, and the sound of mechanical movement came from outside the door, the Mechanical Army was closing in.

Noel's scales and feathers were still wet, not yet fully developed. But he had to escape the laboratory today, or when the Mechanical Master returned, as an ancient race, he'd be devoured alive. He had already planned his escape with the blue-skinned mechanical man.

He raised his right hand, puppet threads filled the room, while at the same time, he tossed a deep red coat with his left hand, which fell perfectly on him, and with a shake of his arms, he wore it. The Blue Rose Scepter landed in his palm the next moment.

Click, a soft sound.

He fastened his hat neatly.

His high boots tapped on the ground, ribbons flying.

"This way!"

Just then, the blue-skinned mechanical man arrived timely, waved to Noel, and quickly pointed to a small door: "Quick! Follow me! I've already checked the route!"

At the same time, the main door opened wide, a dense army of mechanical men rushed in, guns pointed at Noel.

Noel curved his lips into a smile, removed a rose petal from his hat, and threw it toward the machines.

"A parting gift... please accept, ladies and gentlemen."

The next moment, light burst forth!

Noel hung onto the puppet threads with one hand, sliding from one end of the room to the other in a second, while behind him, the floating blue rose petals expanded and exploded——

"Boom——!!!"

The explosion blew his golden hair back, mingled with the sound of mechanical rupture, Noel slid toward the small door, the heatwave from behind blew, but he smiled, lowered his hat, and didn't look back.

"Let's go."

"——Phoenix should make an appearance."
