# Chapter 2935: Defying the Truth of the World!
In the crevice of reality, Jiangnan's face was pale, his eyes already red from crying, as he helplessly watched scene after scene unfold in the original reality!
In a reality without the system, he had exhausted everything, battered and bruised, only to make it here!
Yet he still had to face such a choice, such an ending?
Heaven had never favored Jiangnan, not even once…
……
In the original reality, at the conference table of the Star Cluster Alliance, everyone looked at Jiangnan with hope in their eyes!
They were waiting for him, waiting for him to make that choice!
Because for everyone else, it was an acceptable, perfect outcome—Jiangnan could even achieve the Cosmos Realm, unique throughout eternity!
But this choice, for Jiangnan alone, was too cruel…
Yet what else could Jiangnan do?
Drag it out to the end, and watch helplessly as Xun Zu put an end to everything?
Jiangnan remained silent, head lowered, for a long, long time…
"Sorry, give me some time to prepare. I'll give you all an answer in a few days. I… will give you a future. I won't let anyone down…"
Jiangnan left alone, and everyone else let out a sigh as well.
After all, abandoning everything one had experienced to become a merciless god—who could remain calm and composed at such a juncture?
Jiangnan needed time…
At the conference table, Li Bing watched Jiangnan leave in a daze, her heart feeling as if it were torn apart by a sharp pain, her teeth clenched tightly.
In the end, a ruthless gleam flashed in her eyes, and she made her decision, rising and heading off to find Mila…
……
Jiangnan returned alone to Blue Star. The Blue Star that had once been a Star Ruins had long been rebuilt, with no trace of what it had once been.
He wandered aimlessly on Blue Star, seeing unfamiliar faces everywhere, not a single old friend in sight…
Jiang City, Pioneer Academy—the people and things of the past were all buried in the passage of time…
The world before Jiangnan's eyes gradually blurred with tears. Finally, he came to a wilderness overgrown with weeds. This was the place where the Star Ruins War had once taken place…
He had lost so much here… so much…
Jiangnan knelt on the ground and pulled out the yellowed diary. Inside were recorded his own past and memories, but it was filled with folded page corners…
He opened the diary and started reading from the first page, page after page. He unfolded the crumpled corners and read them again and again!
Tears fell like pearls, large and heavy, splashing onto the diary, spreading out, soaking the paper, blurring the handwriting, wetting the title page of memories…
Jiangnan cried. No matter how he wiped, he couldn't dry his tears.
"I… don't want to become a god…"
Jiangnan clutched the diary tightly to his chest, hugging it fiercely, pressing his forehead against the ground, pounding the earth with his fists, and weeping loudly.
"Why must I bear all this? I can't let go! I can't bear to let go of any of this!"
"I've already lost so many things. Why can't I even keep this last little bit…"
"Wah… I don't want to forget everything… I don't want to… I really don't want to…"
But what else could he do? If he didn't wash away his memories and absorb the Realm Source Energy to create a world to fight against Xun Zu, Xun Zu would only grow stronger.
Eventually, he would become powerful enough to kill Black God, annihilate the Dimensional Gap, destroy the Star Cluster Alliance—including humanity itself.
Only by becoming that emotionless, heartless god could he open a future for everyone.
Jiangnan had no choice but to do this.
Jiangnan raised his hand and kissed the red bone ring on his finger. He hugged the diary—almost worn out from flipping through—tightly, curled up into a ball, and lay on his side on this wasteland overgrown with weeds, weeping bitterly.
He wanted to feel the old friends who had once slept in this fertile soil, but he couldn't feel anything at all…
Perhaps… he should have slept here back then, never waking up.
Then he wouldn't have to face so much pain.
Xuexue, I'm so sad… Can you hear me…
……
Just then, Li Bing brought Mila, Lan, and Ai Jiang to this open wilderness. Seeing Jiangnan crying, their hearts broke, but there was determination in their eyes.
When Jiangnan saw them coming, he quickly got up and wiped away his tears. He was the pillar of the Star Cluster Alliance, the hope of everyone—he couldn't show weakness.
"You… why are you here? I…"
Before Jiangnan could finish, Li Bing spoke first: "Besides you becoming a god, I have another idea that might change everything, change the outcome!"
Jiangnan was stunned, then a sharp light burst from his eyes: "Wh… what idea?"
Li Bing took a deep breath: "Defy the truth of this world and tamper with the current reality!"
Jiangnan was dumbfounded: "Tamper with reality? How?"
Li Bing's expression turned serious: "Based on the five-dimensional Life Forbidden Zone you described to me, I've made a bold hypothesis. This isn't impossible!"
"If we change a certain node in the past, and that node continues to influence the direction of reality, then we can tamper with reality and change all of this!"
"It's like the butterfly effect—even a tiny change can guide reality toward a better direction. Maybe it can even turn reality into something as beautiful as a fairy tale!"
But Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "It's impossible! The past has already happened. It's a fixed fact. It can't be changed, or there will be a time paradox. This idea won't work!"
However, Li Bing said firmly: "It WILL work! Why wouldn't it? We're going to defy the truth of this world! Who says the past can't be changed? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean someone else can't!"
"From the beginning to where you are today, how many regrets have you experienced? How much have you lost? What a heavy price you've paid! Are you really satisfied with this reality?"
"Now we have a chance to change all of this. We can make some practical little items, potions, and such, and send them back to the past, helping you at key nodes, making up for every regret you've experienced so far!"
"In that way, reality will be reshaped, completely changed. Everything will develop in a good direction, like a dream!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Can… can it really be done?"
Li Bing smiled brightly: "Why not? Don't underestimate Ice God, little brother!"
"Once we change a certain node in the past, causing an influence, then in the five-dimensional Life Forbidden Zone, on the foundation of our original reality, a new tampered dream reality will be born starting from that changed node!"
But Jiangnan shook his head: "No! If we change the past and make everything beautiful, then we—the ones facing this dead end now—would cease to exist. Then we wouldn't go back to change the past!"
"None of this would hold up. We'd still face the time paradox. Sister Li Bing, you know about the grandfather paradox, don't you?"
But Li Bing smiled confidently: "Originally, it wouldn't hold up. But the existence of the five-dimensional Life Forbidden Zone makes it possible!"
"I told you, as long as we change a node in the past, a tampered dream reality will be born on top of our original reality. Both realities exist simultaneously, like the concept of parallel timelines!"
"But even so, it still won't work. We can't form a closed time loop. There can only be one true reality! For the tampered dream reality to become real, we in the dream reality must also change the past node, doing the same thing we did!"
"In that way, a complete time loop is formed!"
"Then, the reality we are in now will cease to exist, as if it never happened. That tampered dream reality will become the only true, beautiful reality—ours!"
"If we in the dream reality don't change the past and fill in that node, the dream reality will collapse! If we want the dream reality to become the true reality, we will definitely go back and fill it in. Do you understand?"
Jiangnan's scalp tingled: "You want to defy the truth of this world and exploit a bug?"
"If that's the case, it's not impossible! It's just… can we in the dream reality really do all this, fill in the past nodes, form a time loop, and make all of this true?"
Li Bing smiled brightly and patted Jiangnan's shoulder: "Just trust in us in that beautiful reality! We can do it. We in that reality can definitely do it too!"
"I've already made a complete plan and a specific implementation method! I've calculated it countless times—it's definitely feasible!"
A glimmer of hope shone in Jiangnan's eyes: "Then how exactly do we do this? Do I need to change the past in the five-dimensional Life Forbidden Zone?"
"I've tried before, but I need to defy the truth. I can't do it… Nothing else is allowed to exist in the Life Forbidden Zone, let alone items or such…"
At this, Li Bing's eyes dimmed: "You really can't do it. But Mila can…"
"Her Star Devourer skill is time travel. She can go back to the past and change it…"
Mila's expression turned serious, and she nodded heavily!
"This time… I'll do it!"
Jiangnan's face suddenly turned pale: "Sister Li Bing, what do you mean by that? This method requires Mila to…"
Li Bing's expression was pained: "I plan to create a system and send it back to a node in the past to assist your growth, make up for all your regrets, and change reality!"
"This system will use Ai Jiang as its basic operating logic. The system itself will also need its own space to receive all the items we send back. This requires borrowing Lan's abilities!"
"Lan has integrated the Void Engine. She is space itself—the most suitable candidate. Only she can do it! And her consciousness will serve as the system's main will!"
"Because in the dream reality, we need the system's consciousness to remind us to go back and fill in the past, completing the time loop. It will serve as an insurance and also provide some key, necessary information prompts at critical moments!"
"But you know, there can't be two of the same person in the past. There's also a Lan in the past. So Lan cannot be Lan. She must be purified into a blank slate, leaving only the most basic instincts. In this way, Lan as the system's consciousness can coexist with the past Lan without conflict, because Lan is no longer herself…"
"Ai Jiang's will cannot exist as the system's consciousness in the past. Her root is the Terminal Database, like rootless duckweed. Only Lan's consciousness can be used…"
"As for Mila, she will use the time travel skill to send the completed system back to the past, thus changing the past node. Then, Mila will serve as a time bridge between us and the system, continuously sending various crafted items—used to make up for regrets—into the system for you to use!"
Jiangnan's eyes turned bloodshot. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Bing's shoulders!
"How can this be! How can you do this! What about Lan? What about Mila? Lan being purified into a blank slate—will she still be Lan?"
"Do you think I've fought this hard for nothing? Lan grew up under my watch. Mila has been with me all the way. How many people from the past are left? If Lan is purified…"
Li Bing said urgently: "Calm down! Listen to me! Let me speak first!"
"I care about them too, just as much as you do! I have a solution! Lan, as the system's consciousness, will indeed be purified and no longer be herself. But there's a possibility she can recover!"
"You should know that emotion is also a force—a very powerful one! Ai Jiang has already cracked the chaotic data code of the Wisdom Sect. Back then, the Wisdom Sect didn't follow the short-term victory approach like the current Silicon race!"
"They opened the self-programming permissions. Although they were mechanical lifeforms, they had self-awareness and emotions. They even had deep research on the power of emotions. They could even harness and collect emotional power and use it!"
"As long as we collect enough emotional power, we can add color back to the purified Lan!"
"Among the many emotions, things like moving, confidence, and pride are hard to collect. But emotions like resentment and anger are easier to gather! We can use the system to collect some resentment and anger, helping Lan's consciousness regain her emotions!"
"The more we collect, the more emotions Lan recovers. Although it will require a vast, unimaginable amount of emotional power, it's not impossible to restore Lan!"
……
In the crevice of reality, Jiangnan was completely stunned as he watched this scene…
So… this is the truth of the system?
