Shangqing nodded: "In this way, even if the transmigrators cause chaos, there will be people like me to suppress them."
Xia Jiawen stood up, patted the dust off his white coat, thought for a moment with his eyes downcast, and said with a smile:
"I've already thought of a name for you all."
"——[Eligibles]."
"It means, 'those suitable for implanting special talismans.' However, these special talismans are still too scarce. The initial plan is to have them implanted in the Principal, to serve as a distinguishing mark between the Principal and ordinary people."
Shangqing again touched his chest, listening to the steady heartbeat. He glanced at the Old Gods reading off names outside the window and smiled slightly.
"Good name."
...
[Humanity has no ability to resist in the face of anomalies, but humanity has not gone extinct because there exists a type of person called "Eligibles."]
["Eligibles" can suppress anomalies. Their numbers are extremely scarce, and their strength is often considerable.]
...
Su Ming'an figured out a lot of things.
He smiled and looked at the script in his hands.
"Next, I will read out the list of the first batch of transmigrators. Cheng Che. Your mission is..."
"Liu Bansheng, your mission is..."
"Luo He, your mission is..."
After reading hundreds of names, he suddenly saw a familiar name.
Displaced time clicked together, as if something compelled him to speak—
"Bailian, your mission is to go to the Louyue Era."
"Your rationality is quite strong, even if you become an exotic species, you can control your lethality well."
"Due to the special nature of the era, people of the Louyue Era do not believe in deities but in immortals. The deities cannot guide your actions through oracles, so they will adopt other methods: Bailian, you will receive a system, as long as you get close to the person arranged by the system, you can handle those under Dieying Bewilderment."
A black-haired girl stepped out from the crowd, nodded in acknowledgment.
Su Ming'an looked at her complicatedly. Who would have thought that the palace maid sister with a tragic background would be a transmigrator from a millennium ago? She was clearly there to save people, yet suffered persecution from palace intrigues...
He continued reading until he came across another familiar name. He hesitated again:
"826 years, the near modern era... Chi."
"Your strength is very strong. The deities will try to keep you restricted in areas away from humans to efficiently clear pollution."
A boy stepped out, his face still lit with a sunny smile. He placed his left hand on his chest and bowed to Su Ming'an.
Su Ming'an couldn't help but add:
"...Be careful, don't get captured by humans. Wait until the repulsion on yourself drops before moving again."
... Chi. Don't let "me" see you in the underground lab again. Back then, you were pathetically tied to a chair, blood and tears mixed, only thinking about getting a doll.
Clearly, you are the one saving the era, clearly, you are all Saviors... yet because of the identity as exotic species... persecuted, captured, and confined by contemporary humans... regarded as a mortal enemy.
...
After completing the list, Su Ming'an called the important figures to his side one by one to assign their tasks.
"Eighth Principal, Xin Yue."
"Your task is to follow the guidance of the deities, responsible for maintaining the Human Self-Rescue Alliance."
...
"Seventh Principal, Li Yuxuan."
"Your task is to receive the Old Gods from millennia later, responsible for maintaining the City Guardian Department. Specific details will be conveyed by the deities."
...
"Sixth Principal, Yi Zhongyu."
"Your task is the Dream Tour game... Oh, the Dream Tour game hasn't been established yet, you can stay idle for now, I'll call you later."
...
"Fifth Principal, Xia Jiawen."
"Your task is the protection and maintenance of the Life Hard Drive. If necessary, you can abandon Nine Serenities; this new regulation is already written in the millennium plan. No need to feel guilty about your choice."
...
"Fourth Principal, Li Mingyue."
"Li Mingyue. Your task is to explore the rules. Whether to transmigrate is up to your self-will, you can always stay in the Holy City."
Li Mingyue nodded silently.
Having seen Li Mingyue's life, Su Ming'an knew Li Mingyue best. When Li Mingyue turned to leave, Su Ming'an called out.
"...Godfather."
However, Li Mingyue merely paused, turned his head. His pupils trembled slightly, he said politely:
"...God."
He would no longer call him Wensheng or Ming'an.
The young man who tore the bread in front of the church in the past had already gone farther and farther away, walked to a place beyond reach.
So Su Ming'an's lips moved slightly.
"...It's fine, you start working."
...
"Third Principal, Xiao Ying."
"Your task is to handle the transmigrators causing temporal repulsion in all eras. They have no memories and carry terrifying destructive power with them. Even the deities find it hard to guide their fate. So I need you to take a group of people to handle them on site. I believe the task is most suitable for you, as your heart is ruthless enough."
"Yes, thank you Lord Father God for the praise." Xiao Ying placed his right hand on his chest and smiled at him.
"...Didn't your descendants often provoke me? Yet now your address is so formal," Su Ming'an said.
Xiao Ying seemed not to hear.
Su Ming'an understood. This guy didn't respect him at all, he was purely seeking amusement, thinking this form of address would embarrass Su Ming'an.
"However, ten thousand eras is too much, if I manage them one by one on-site, I'm afraid I won't make it in time. I think I could adapt locally — use my reincarnated descendants to solve this issue," Xiao Ying said.
"What are your specific thoughts?"
"Since every era will have my reincarnation. Then, as long as I guide them a bit, get them to act. Without me personally going all out, they can also help me accomplish this," Xiao Ying said.
"How do you plan to settle those transmigrators causing temporal repulsion?" Su Ming'an said.
"I want to—create a paradise." Xiao Ying spread his hands.
At this moment, it was as if a chasm of time extended between them.
Su Ming'an slightly widened his eyes, suddenly understanding what Xiao Ying's specific idea was—
"I want to create a paradise—a place where both humans and exotic species can coexist," Xiao Ying said with a smile. "Since we need to accumulate emotions over generations, and negative emotions are the most intense, I want to actively stimulate human negative emotions."
...
[It is said that the Old Day Church is an evil organization that supports exotic species. They incite exotic species to massacre cities, their actions extremely cruel, fueling great anger.]
...
"With the power that the transmigrators possess, destroying cities and villages would surely be a breeze—how wonderful! Easily gathering a large amount of negative emotions," Xiao Ying spread his hands. "As long as I slightly influence my descendants to work for me, setting up a paradise for the transmigrators to gather—how about calling it the [Old Day Church]? Then there will be an endless supply of negative emotions."
...
["Who allowed Xiao Ying to act without consulting me? I never instigate meaningless slaughter," Xiao Jingsan said coldly. "If he dares to massacre civilians again, I will completely destroy myself. He's something from a thousand years ago; he shouldn't be living now."]
...
So that was the meaning of Xiao Jingsan's words.
Su Ming'an shook his head: "I must remind you, I do not agree with the plan to use slaughter to obtain emotions. The emotions a person can create in a lifetime exceed those that burst forth at the time of death."
Xiao Ying smiled and said: "—So subjecting them to a lifetime of suffering is 'maximizing benefits'? Like the deities, setting a law against suicide, making humans live in suffering day and night, forcing them to laugh while they're in pain—that's an endless emotion-generating machine?"
Su Ming'an said: "Don't create a trolley problem here, if you have the time for moral condemnation, you might as well figure out how to smash the trolley."
Xiao Ying didn't expect Su Ming'an to be so straightforward, he was stunned for a few seconds, raising his hands in surrender: "Alright, alright, I'll give up my idea. I'll slowly handle those transmigrators, okay?"
Su Ming'an said: "In the observation of the deities, you will still establish the Old Day Church and massacre civilians in the future. So I will always be watching you, and if you have similar thoughts, I will stop you."
Xiao Ying shook his head: "I already said I gave up on that idea, no need to be so guarded against me..."
He turned and left.
...
For General Qin and Chao Yan, Su Ming'an had nothing to instruct. They were fully informed participants in the thousand-year plan.
Afterward, Su Ming'an stood on a high platform to send off the transmigrators. He used the time authority to send these "Time Travelers" to all corners of the millennium. As the white and blue lights flickered, one by one, figures disappeared before Su Ming'an's eyes, heading towards different eras.
"Goodbye, God," people bid him farewell with smiles.
"Goodbye, God. I'm going to the ancient times, hopefully I can bring back some ancient paintings!"
"Goodbye, God. I've been curious about the Steam Age for a long time, really hope I can learn some airship technology, haha..."
"Goodbye..."
When they complete their missions, they will return to the Holy City to prepare for the next journey through time.
The pollution of Dieying continued to expand, while humanity exerted every effort to reduce the pollution, trying to maintain it at a constant number.
Su Ming'an suddenly understood why, at the beginning of the instance, there was black mist in the world—that was the pollution left by Dieying, and it had already covered nearly 80% of the land at the time.
The dream tour game was a system created by the deities, intended to accelerate the fusion of timelines, reduce time repulsion, and guide people to dispel the black mist.
The game task—in essence, is a kind of "destiny traction," it doesn't even need a rational reason to drive you, as long as you want to play the game, you must complete the tasks of the game, people would unconsciously be guided by the deities.
The game system—is the greatest [destiny].
The dream tour game—is a miniature "transmigration device."
People in the current era would travel through these eras—The Cat and Her (22nd year, God era), Witch's Epic (328th year, Witch Age), Girl Dream Project (512th year, Steam Age), Louyue Nation (622nd year, Louyue Age), Fate Simulator (829th year, modern era)—to dispel the black mist. They thought they were playing games, but in fact they were transmigrating, it's just that the deities blurred their perceptual senses—making soldiers seem like cats, making life hard drives appear as teddy bears in the arms of little girls, and seeing bloody shells as catnip, transforming this "transmigration" into a cozy, entertaining act.
People from other eras would also perform dream tours to help eras. The deities would localize and adjust the concept of "dream tour." For the current era, a dream tour meant "putting on a helmet and playing six games." For the Steam Age, it meant "exploring six eras in relics." For the Witch Age, it meant "under the guidance of deities, traveling to six illusion realms." As a result, a total of ten thousand eras, each era would travel to six other eras for dream tours, forming a saturated mutual aid, even with scenarios involving "players from six eras gathering in one game." This not only sped up the convergence of timelines but also dispelled the black mist.
The number "six" was calculated by the deities. This is the maximum transmigration intensity each era can withstand.
So the actions of people manifested in reality as—"Through dream tours, the black mist was gradually dispelled."
—resulting in the phenomenon of "playing games to dispel black mist." It seems absurd and laughable, like the deities are joking with humanity, wanting to see them fall over instantly and curse each other in games. But in fact, it has a completely rational causal basis.
—The "mischievous game planner" deities were clearly making humans achieve self-rescue.
Su Ming'an thought of the first temptation words of the tentacle monster by the seaside.
...
["This world is dangerous, don't you understand?—exotic species everywhere, terrifying instant death rules, the deities arranging human destiny."]
...
So—[exotic species. Immediate death rule. Deities.] These three great enemies.
Exotic species are actually companions, immediate death rules are actually impacts caused by companions, and deities are actually the principal of the thousand-year plan.
...originally, they all stemmed from our side.
...all were seeds personally sown a thousand years ago.
...all were unavoidable parts of the thousand-year plan.
...
"Game," in essence, is "the descent from high dimensions to low dimensions."
—is "the rescue from a thousand years ago for a thousand years later."
...
Finally, Su Ming'an returned to the Old Divine Palace.
Inside the palace, Lv Shu, Yuanyuan, and Noel were waiting there, all looking at him.
"The Ark has set sail," Yuanyuan said.
"Mm."
"So...unclear," Noel said.
Unable to distinguish between the truth of a thousand years ago and a thousand years later.
This question had also become unimportant.
Because at the moment when the deities demarcated ten thousand eras, even if everything that happened a thousand years later was a simulation, it was imprinted into reality with the one-hundred-percent accuracy of the "observation" authority.
The death of the cat had become a determined state.
"What do we do next?" Lv Shu asked.
Su Ming'an looked at the dazzling surge of time around him, people were stepping towards the distant millennium shore.
"We wait," he said.
Lv Shu widened his eyes slightly.
"Wait..." Su Ming'an gazed at the distant starry sky: "For the homeland we have yet to reach."
