Chapter 1439: Chapter 7: The Last and the First (Part 2)

This made Liu Feng search extensively, searching for more than a hundred years without finding it.

No wonder Liu Feng.

As for what’s happening in Donghai City and Rhein University, Lin Xian is not sure currently, perhaps Liu Feng managed to fly to Brooklyn on the only plane to find him, which was already the maximum effort.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, and geological activities have changed everything in Brooklyn, plains turned into hills, hills flattened into plains, forests transformed into oceans, oceans became basins… If it were Rhein University in its prime, it would certainly be able to turn over Brooklyn’s land to find him.

But after the super disaster… it’s uncertain whether Rhein University still exists.

Lin Xian didn’t say much more.

He patted Liu Feng’s shoulder, turned back around, and looked at the petite and frail CC in front of him.

Big Beard VV.

Earlier, Lin Xian couldn’t quite understand where this memory fragment of CC originated.

At this moment…

The truth was revealed.

Who would have thought that someone who swore they would never keep a big beard and long hair in their life would, due to such a comical coincidence, have a beard hanging down to their chest.

The eleven-year-old little CC in front of him, as a Millennium Stake, is also quite unusual.

Her dreamscape is no different from that of normal people, completely different from the CC in the dreamscape.

She has no memory fragments, whereas the CC in the dreamscape, even the CC of The First Dreamland, had countless memory fragments in her mind from birth.

Lin Xian couldn’t quite comprehend the reason behind this for the time being.

But since he lost the ability to dream, it means he simultaneously lost the chance to meet the 2624 CC in the dreamscape.

No.

He shook his head.

Actually, whether or not he meets the CC in dreams is now irrelevant.

The detection equipment left by Jask in the circular Blade Mountain is enough to prove——

[The child CC in front of him is the same CC from the dreamscape of 2624, they are the same person; it’s just that the little CC has not grown up yet, and time hasn’t reached the end of 2624, August 29th, 00:42.]

This is no joke.

The World-Ending White Light does indeed exist, and just as Jask’s previous speculation, the World-Ending White Light comes from an outer universe, traveling towards Earth at the speed of light… It will certainly be timely as countless times portrayed in dreams.

It seems that a conclusion can already be drawn.

The World-Ending White Light is specifically aimed at the Millennium Stake CC, and the one who set the Millennium Stake, confused Einstein, and ultimately launched the World-Ending White Light… it’s very clear, they are the same hidden Black Hand from the depths of the universe!

“VV…”

CC cautiously held onto Lin Xian’s hand, looking up at him with eyes full of concern.

Liu Feng turned his body sideways, looking at the little girl whose facial features were exactly the same as Chu Anqing’s, helplessly bowed his head, and sighed.

Another Millennium Stake.

It has to be said, Lin Xian and Millennium Stake girls, really have a fateful connection.

They seem to be drawn by some mysterious force, as if even space and time cannot separate them.

Beginning in Brooklyn, the poor girl CC; ending in Brooklyn, the last Millennium Stake CC.

This is a loop, also destiny.

“Handle it yourself.”

Liu Feng turned around, waved to the soldiers, and stumbled away:

“We’ll wait for you on the plane.”

He knew in his heart.

This was about Lin Xian and the Millennium Stake, a destiny interwoven across over 600 years of time.

In Liu Feng’s view, the Millennium Stake is merely Chu Anqing, and he only cared about Chu Anqing, all the other girls he neither cared about nor knew.

But.

For Lin Xian, it was different.

He not only knew Chu Anqing who jumped from a plane for him, but he also met Qin Xi who sang and cried for him, dug Zhang Yuqian’s grave, made a wish holding hands with CC from 1952, and also encountered and got to know the CC at the end of the world in 2624 countless times.

So, how things will be handled next is up to Lin Xian to decide.

Crack, crack, crack…

Seeing Liu Feng wave his hand, all the fully armed soldiers put away their guns, followed Liu Feng to the plane, and stood by.

Seeing the crisis resolved, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and CC’s father quickly ran to Lin Xian’s side:

“Mr. VV, are you alright!”

“I’m fine.”

Lin Xian shook his heavy head and big beard:

“Those people are not bad, they are my friends, my… former friends.”

“Former friends?”

CC’s father suddenly realized:

“Mr. VV! You’ve regained your memory!”

Lin Xian nodded.

But the petite CC immediately widened her eyes, with a complex expression:

“Then you… then you…”

She trembled, lifted her right hand’s pinky, bit her lip, looking at Lin Xian like a puppy:

“[Does our promise… still count?]”

Lin Xian bowed his head.

Did not speak.

He certainly knew what CC meant by the so-called promise.

It was on the rooftop of the abandoned research facility, he and CC made a pinky promise to join her family, to become one family, never to part.

But now…

He was caught in a dilemma.

He didn’t know how to respond to CC’s expectations.

He also didn’t know whether he should tell CC everything, the truth and the reality.

In his previous life experiences.

He had made decisions for his own and others’ lives multiple times, but everyone was an adult, with mature thoughts and understanding, capable of being responsible for their actions and choices.

But now…

CC was just an 11-year-old girl.

She was naive, pure, impulsive, and didn’t understand anything.

Could she really make the right choices for her own life?

Lin Xian didn’t respond to CC, instead, he looked up at CC’s father:

“Have your people considered migrating to a safer, more developed place? I can help you.”

“Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. VV.”

CC’s father smiled:

“This land is where our ancestors survived, it is our home, our homeland… I believe if we unite, we can build this land into something good, a beautiful home.”

“Each of us thinks this way, even if the outside world is better, we still love our homeland more and want to stay here.”

“Alright then.”

Lin Xian nodded silently.

CC’s father’s words had already explained everything.

“VV… Are you going to leave us?”

CC inexplicably felt that VV was moving further away from her. She blinked quickly, holding onto VV’s coat more tightly:

“Please stay? I still have so much I want to learn from you… and I haven’t done anything to repay you, to thank you…”

“CC.”

Lin Xian crouched down, stroking the head of 11-year-old CC:

“I must leave. Because… I have something very important to do, very important, something crucial for humankind and Earth.”

“Then I’ll go with you!”

CC urgently shouted:

“Look, I’m very smart, I’ve already learned the gun skills you taught me, I can fight alongside you!”

“Don’t be so unreasonable!”

CC’s father harshly scolded:

“You’re just a child, don’t create trouble for Mr. VV!”

Saying this, he was about to pull CC away.

“I don’t want to!”

CC forcibly turned away:

“VV even risked his life to save us! Now that VV is in trouble, shouldn’t we help him?”

“CC, listen to me.”

Lin Xian looked at CC and spoke slowly:

“[You have the right to choose your own life, to decide what kind of life you want to live; but it’s not now, it’s when you grow up, when your thoughts mature.]

“You can choose to know all the historical truths, the predetermined endings; or choose to live a stable and happy life, free from pressures.”

“But just as your father said… this choice, is not something you can make at 11 years old.”

“Liar!”

CC didn’t believe it at all, glaring at Lin Xian:

“You’re just lying to me! Just fooling a child! What’s all this about historical truths and predetermined endings… such nonsense!”

“If you truly think I’m young and only cause trouble, feel I’m a bother to you… then just tell me straight! I’ll grow up someday! Why use such flimsy reasons to deceive me!”

Lin Xian took a deep breath through his nose, slowly stood up:

“I’m not lying to you.”

At this moment.

Countless layers of images overlapped.

Success.

Failure.

History.

The future.

The world lines seemed to disperse from this moment, tens of thousands of rays shining brilliantly, spreading endlessly…

“There’s a Tem Bank in Donghai City, China, in the vault there’s a safe engraved with Lin Xian’s name.”

After a pause.

Lin Xian lowered his head.

Looking at the little girl filled with resentment:

“[If one day, you want to know all the past and the truth, then come to Donghai City.]

“[Open that safe, and you will naturally understand… everything.]
