43: Trillions of reincarnations, her protection has become crazy

When billions of reincarnations are stacked together.

When the word "guard" appears in billions.

Even the will of a god will be worn down.

Su Ke Ke's love was as pure as ever.

But the way to realize this love...

Unknowingly, it went to an extreme from which there was no return, and no one could understand.

[The 789,000,000th... Life]

In this life.

Zhang Wei was a painter, and she wanted to paint the most beautiful starry sky in the world.

But when she started to paint...

She was annoyed by a meteor that ruined the composition.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke would have guided a brighter comet to streak across, covering the flaw with something more beautiful.

But now, she chose a more "simple" method.

In that instant, within the physical laws of that world...

The concept of "dim meteor" was temporarily erased.

All similar celestial bodies instantly turned into invisible nothingness.

On Zhang Wei's canvas, the annoying star disappeared.

The entire starry sky became flawless, and she continued to paint with satisfaction.

She didn't know that for her moment of "perfection"...

Billions of innocent stars in the universe were forcibly deprived of their right to shine.

[The 1,200,000,000th... Life]

In this life.

Zhang Wei was a bard who liked to walk in the forest.

But she was very timid and afraid of the roars of wild beasts.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke would have used her aura to drive away beasts within a hundred miles, clearing a safe zone for her.

But now, her approach was more "thorough."

When Zhang Wei flinched, scared by a distant wolf howl...

In the entire forest, and even on the entire planet...

All "sounds" that did not belong to Zhang Wei were stripped away.

The wind still blew, the leaves still swayed.

Birds still flapped their wings, and beasts still ran.

Everything was plunged into an absolute, maddening silence.

All sounds were hushed, not as a description, but as a law.

Zhang Wei felt an unprecedented tranquility.

She happily hummed a song in the forest.

That song became the only sound on this planet.

She didn't know that for her "tranquility" at this moment...

Countless living beings were deprived of their right to sing, roar, and communicate.

The world became a silent pantomime.

[The 4,500,000,000th... Life]

In this life.

Zhang Wei was a somewhat introverted librarian.

She longed for friends but was afraid to communicate with people.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke would have arranged a clever "chance encounter."

Allowing a gentle reader to become acquainted with her.

But now, her methods were more "efficient."

When Zhang Wei looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, a hint of loneliness in her eyes...

Su Ke Ke's will, like mercury, silently covered the entire city.

At that moment...

All the people walking on the street, all the people shopping, all the people talking... their thoughts were instantly rewritten.

A common and supreme thought appeared in their minds:

"Go to the library, get to know that girl named Zhang Wei, she's great, I want to be her friend."

So, tens of thousands of people, with the most "sincere," implanted smiles...

Flooded from all directions towards that small library.

They were polite, they were gentle and considerate, each and every one of them became Zhang Wei's "perfect" friend.

Zhang Wei, facing this sudden, overwhelming enthusiasm, like a mountain roaring and a sea surging...

Showed a flattered and happy smile.

She didn't know that for her "not being alone" at this moment...

The free will of everyone in a city...

Was ruthlessly trampled upon, reduced to puppets on strings to please her...

Su Ke Ke's guardianship was no longer about creation and guidance.

But "pruning."

In order for the only flower in the garden to bloom in its most perfect form...

She began to prune away without hesitation...

All the branches, soil, even sunlight and air that she considered "superfluous."

Her love was constructing an absolutely safe, absolutely perfect, and absolutely lonely... cosmic cage for Zhang Wei.

And she herself, after absorbing billions of reincarnations of "karma" and "malice"...

Using this distorted love as nourishment...

Her power, on this "path" that no one could understand...

Was undergoing the most terrifying... distortion.

Love, indeed, is the most powerful force in the universe.

When it is pure to the extreme, it is also the most terrifying poison.

Su Ke Ke's love for Zhang Wei had long transcended the measurement of time.

This love also wore down her last bit of "human" logic.

Her guardianship...

Slipped from "erasing what is not beautiful" into an even more dangerous abyss—"denying reality."

[The 10,300,000,000th... Life]

In this life, Zhang Wei was a lively and active child.

She chased butterflies in the courtyard and accidentally tripped over a stone.

Her fair knees scraped on the ground, oozing bright red blood beads.

The pain made her cry out.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke would have sent down a soft light, healing the wound and easing the pain.

But now, she just watched quietly.

In her gaze, time, centered on Zhang Wei, began an imperceptible reversal.

The cry was sucked back into her throat, tears receded into her eyes.

Blood beads faded in color, flowing back under the skin.

The broken epidermis became smooth again.

Zhang Wei's stumbling body returned to its balance point before the fall.

She just blinked, looking somewhat blankly at the butterflies fluttering ahead.

As if the crying and pain just now were just a brief illusion.

She didn't know...

How much burden the timeline bore for her "never-happened" fall.

[The 26,100,000,000th... Life]

In this life, Zhang Wei raised a canary.

Every day, she groomed its feathers and fed it food.

But the life of mortal things always comes to an end.

One morning, Zhang Wei discovered...

Her beloved little bird's body was already cold and stiff.

She held the bird's cold corpse, silently shedding tears.

Experiencing the sorrow of "parting by death" for the first time.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke might have created an identical illusion.

Or guided another more beautiful bird to comfort her.

But now, she chose a more "merciful" method.

She did not resurrect it.

Because "resurrection" meant admitting it "had died."

Her will enveloped the tiny corpse.

In that instant, the concept of "death"...

For this canary, was defined as "invalid."

Its entropy increase process was forcibly reversed.

The cold body became warm again, the stiff feathers became soft again.

The canary flapped its wings, flew back to Zhang Wei's fingertips, and affectionately rubbed against her cheek.

Zhang Wei's tears turned to laughter, thinking a miracle had occurred.

She didn't know...

The "living specimen" in her arms was just a vessel deprived of the right to "die."

Its soul had long since dissipated.

What remained was just a perfect husk that would never leave again.

[The 59,900,000,000th... Life]

In this life, Zhang Wei was sickly and often needed to drink bitter herbal medicine.

She frowned, looking at the dark medicine in the bowl, full of resistance.

If it were before...

Su Ke Ke would have used her power to change the molecular structure of the medicine, making it as sweet as sugar water.

But now, her approach was more "fundamental."

When Zhang Wei resisted taking medicine, Su Ke Ke's gaze penetrated her body.

Those "germs," "viruses," and the "weakness," "inflammation" of body organs that caused her illness... all these negative physiological concepts were re-"defined" under Su Ke Ke's will.

"Germs" lost their "pathogenicity," and "weakness" was rewritten as "dormancy."

Zhang Wei's cough stopped, her high fever receded, and her pale complexion regained its rosy glow.

She was "cured."

Because the reality of "illness" was expelled from her life.

She cheered that she no longer had to take bitter medicine.

She didn't know...

She henceforth possessed an absolute, yet incredibly fragile, "health."

She would never get sick again.

And thus, forever lost the possibility of overcoming fragility through her own strength...

Su Ke Ke's guardianship had evolved into the most extreme "censorship."

She was no longer a guardian, but a "filter" of reality.

She was cultivating Zhang Wei, cultivating this target of guardianship...

Into an individual who could not understand "pain," could not accept "death," could not experience "sickness," an absolutely pure individual.

And this "purity," filtered of all impurities, was itself the deepest curse.

A soul living in a sterile room.

When one day, the virus named "reality"...

Finally breaks through these layers of barriers, she will have no antibodies...

Until the "Trillionth Reincarnation."

At this time, Zhang Wei's name was—Jiang Ruoxue.

When the director of the orphanage who had taken her in since childhood and treated her well...

Was hanged by the rope in front of her by the gang leader's subordinates...

She cried and murmured that it would be good if this world could be destroyed...

Everything, everything, had an answer.

Why did the Blue Star World, clearly only a Tier 3 world, have an 11-Tier "Gravekeeper"?

Why did Gu Jianghan only rewind the timeline twice before the Blue Star World could no longer bear it?

And why did both the "Gravekeeper" and the "Pseudo-Dragon Progenitor" mock the Human Emperor for abandoning the chance to escape for the safety of mere ants?

When Gu Yanci fought the "Gravekeeper," among the phantoms of past Human Emperors...

Was that eternal emperor in dragon robes, overlooking thousands of miles, Emperor Gaozu?

Who were "They" that the "Gravekeeper" mentioned before his death?

Why was Gu Yanci's chat group prefix title "Last Human Emperor" and not "Human Emperor"?

What was the relationship between the "Humanity Furnace" and the "scythe of the eternal elegy" that could transform suffering into power?

On the Blue Star World...

Where did the large number of spirit stone veins and incomplete array formation inheritances come from?

Between Gu Yanci and Jiang Ruoxue...

If not for that intelligent black cat, there would have been no interaction.

Who was that black cat? Did it really die on the battlefield?

Also, when the chat group initially issued the mission...

In the mission description...

"That forgotten ancient covenant, that tragic interstellar war."

Was the ancient covenant Su Ke Ke's "curse" on Zhang Wei?

Was the tragic interstellar war the epic battle of the Ancestral Dragon Court?

That "past enemies and predators of the star sea are returning, following the coordinates."

And how was it related to Su Ke Ke's previous theft of the Blue Star and escape from the Cradle of Original Sin world?

The original destined destruction of the Blue Star World...

After being saved in a bizarre way by Gu Jianghan's appearance...

Then completed a closed loop with an incomprehensible causality...

The truth of the Era of Dharma Decline in the Blue Star World was self-evident.
