# Chapter 475: Even Nuwa Could Do It
Zhang Chenze stared at the open door for a moment, then turned back to look at Chu Tianqiu.
"Can you let go?"
"What?" Chu Tianqiu furrowed his brow.
"The feeling of loving someone... can you let it go?" Zhang Chenze asked. "Are you just going to let Qiaoyun stay here forever?"
Jin Yuanxun, standing outside the door, saw that their conversation wasn't over yet and stepped back a few more paces.
"Lawyer Zhang." Chu Tianqiu called out. "You think you're giving me advice, but you don't realize that everything you're talking about, I've already pondered over countless nights."
"Is that so..."
"I'm telling you all this today not because I expect you to actually help me with anything." Chu Tianqiu sighed and said. "I just want you to understand that no one here can help me. I can only rely on myself."
"But what about Qiaoyun..."
"In these days since I regained my memories..." Chu Tianqiu shook his head. "You may not know how many choices and struggles I've gone through... Don't you think I've also wanted to live here with Qiaoyun forever? But would that be fair to anyone?"
Chu Tianqiu sighed and smiled bitterly. "She can't go on living anymore... Finding release here is her best final resting place. I shouldn't be so selfish, constantly trying to sustain her life. That's really not fair to her..."
The words "not fair" landed like a heavy weight, striking deep into Zhang Chenze's heart.
Yes. Keeping Qiaoyun alive in a daze... it really would be better to let her die.
Her life should have ended when she "failed." Surviving in this state now isn't a blessing for her, but rather a curse.
"So have you really decided...?" Zhang Chenze also sighed. "Qiaoyun can still talk to you now. She can still look into your eyes and smile. But once you give up, she'll turn into a pile of bones."
"But I'll always be here with her." Chu Tianqiu said. "I'll become the master of this place, eliminate all obstacles across this entire land, leaving only me and that pile of bones. She'll be forever immortal, and I'll be undying."
Zhang Chenze nodded after hearing this, softly said "Sorry for the intrusion," then walked outside and closed the door.
Jin Yuanxun, not far away, saw her come out and didn't disturb her. He only hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sis, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Zhang Chenze nodded. "Thanks for your concern."
She walked step by step along the corridor, feeling that her thoughts were very chaotic.
Before coming here, she had wanted to explore with Chu Tianqiu a way to awaken Qiaoyun. But now the situation had completely exceeded her expectations.
Not to mention that there was simply no way to awaken Qiaoyun—even if Qiaoyun could be awakened, would it be fair to her?
She had already suffered so much harm. Should she be reawakened and thrown back into battle?
"What should we do...?" Zhang Chenze sighed in great distress. She only hated that she wasn't smart enough to come up with a countermeasure in this situation.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Chenze turned a corner in the corridor and found a girl standing at the entrance of the teaching building—slim figure, plain appearance. This figure had been staring at her the entire time, which felt a bit strange.
Zhang Chenze felt like she had seen this girl once before, but couldn't remember who she was.
"Lawyer Zhang?" The person asked.
"Yes." Zhang Chenze nodded. "You are?"
"I'm Xu Liunian." The girl replied. "Were you looking for me?"
"I..." Zhang Chenze was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly remembered something. "How did you know?"
"I..." Xu Liunian smiled. "When I passed by the door earlier, I accidentally overheard, so I decided to wait for you here."
"Is that so?" Zhang Chenze nodded.
"What's the matter?" Xu Liunian asked.
"I..." Zhang Chenze found herself at a loss for words. All of Chu Tianqiu's earlier words were circling in her mind. "I don't know whether it counts as something or nothing... It's just that there are too many things I can't figure out..."
"You want to ask how I turned back into a 'Participant'?"
"Yes..." Zhang Chenze nodded. "I originally came here just to seek an answer, but now..."
"This truly is something that only I can do." Xu Liunian replied. "You should be able to imagine—if there really was a way to turn 'Natives' back into 'Participants'... how could there still be any Natives here? How many people every day want to restore their teammates' consciousness? And how many powerful figures have tried to find a way to awaken them?"
"Yes..." Hearing Xu Liunian say this too, Zhang Chenze nodded blankly. "I was being a bit naive."
"So is there another possibility..." Xu Liunian slowly moved closer to Zhang Chenze, lowering her voice as she spoke.
"What?"
"We leave the Qiaoyun in front of us alone... and create a new Qiaoyun?" The few words Xu Liunian softly uttered were like enchanting whispers, lingering in Zhang Chenze's mind.
"I, I don't quite understand..." Zhang Chenze frowned at Xu Liunian. "What do you mean by leaving the current Qiaoyun alone and creating a new Qiaoyun? Is that a feasible method?"
"It might not be for others..." Xu Liunian lowered her voice again. "But it's feasible for Qi Xia."
"Qi Xia...?"
"You might not know this yet..." Xu Liunian said in a low voice. "Qi Xia's 'Echo' allows him to use subconsciousness to create a person..."
Zhang Chenze's eyes widened. She kept staring into Xu Liunian's eyes, her mind rapidly spinning through the implications of these words.
"Xu Liunian... I really don't know much about 'Echo.'" Zhang Chenze said. "But I've seen a few people release this transcendent ability... Is there really someone whose ability is 'creating a person'?"
"Even Nuwa could create people..." Xu Liunian laughed. "Why can't we 'Echoers'?"
"Huh?" Zhang Chenze's brow was tightly furrowed. At a certain moment, she felt that everyone in "Heaven's Gate" had gone mad. "Just because Nuwa could do it, we can too?"
"What Nuwa could do... 'Echoers' can all do." Xu Liunian said. "The plan I'm telling you about... concerns the final outcome of this entire land... Whether or not you can achieve it, you must remember to keep it secret."
"But, but why are you telling me such an important plan?" Zhang Chenze asked in confusion.
"Because you can gain the trust of both Qi Xia and Chu Tianqiu..." Xu Liunian reached out and patted Zhang Chenze's shoulder. "You came from the same room as Qi Xia, and you once played an important role in Chu Tianqiu's memories... Neither of them will make things difficult for you."
