Start a core cabin

Chapter 1580 Starting from scratch... (It was painful not sleeping well last night)

The flames shot up to the sky.

The entire cathedral was reduced to ashes as the explosion went straight into the sky. Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the flames in front of him in silence.

After that, Duanmu Huai used his own power to completely destroy this research device that could not go astray any further. Damn it, the oil guys always had to clean up their messes by the Inquisition. Duanmu Huai was very upset when he thought of this. After all, it was always like this. Those damn oil guys... Do they think that they can do whatever they want if someone helps them out?

Anyway, there is the Inquisition. If they mess up, they are not afraid of the destruction of the world, so let's do whatever we want! ———Like this.

Duanmu Huai really wanted to tie all those damn oil guys to the stake.

Forget it, for the sake of [Tianyao Shield], let them go.

By the way, when the device was destroyed, the protections applied to the citizens of the Kingdom of Protection also disappeared. Seeing these people at a loss, as if their lives had lost their purpose, the people of the Allied Forces also let out a sigh of relief. After all, the Kingdom of Protection was originally named after the protection, and they felt that they were nobler than people from other countries. Now that the protection is gone, they can no longer be noble.

As for the young hero, he was executed in public in the square. After all, he caused the trouble, and the young hero looked like the world was destroyed in the end. Well, in a sense, it can be regarded as achieving Norn's goal.

With the destruction of the device, all the demons died. Originally, these demons relied on the ability similar to the protection granted by the device to act. Now that the device has been destroyed, the demons are naturally dead. Duanmu Huai has also gone to the demons to see that all the demons have disappeared, and only large pieces of black ashes are left in the whole city.

From a certain perspective, this is also an end.

Then... it's about time.

Duanmu Huai looked at the display of [Joyful Progress: 5/10] on the task progress bar and silently pressed the complaint button again.

Soon, a line of information appeared in front of him.

[GM21425 at your service]

[GM21425: What questions do you need help with? ]

"I can actually get through?"

Looking at the conversation in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

[GM21425: As the first user of this system, we must of course provide you with our best services. What do you need? ]

"I want to ask, what is the matter with this copy of the God of Joy?"

Duanmu Huai still raised his own questions.

"To be honest, I don't think this copy is special to me at all, and I do the same things as before?"

That's right, this is what Duanmu Huai is confused about. Although it is a joyful enhanced copy, Duanmu Huai feels that what he does is no different from usual. I didn't feel any joy at all, so where is this joy?

[GM21425: What do you think joy means? 】

"I think? Joy should be to make yourself happy...? Isn't it right?"

[GM21425: Although that is one of the explanations, joy is not just that. Joy is a kind of power, a power that infects others. Making yourself happy and making others happy are both manifestations of the God of Joy】

"Is there such a saying? But what you said seems to be right...?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally realized that he had entered a thinking error.

When he got the God of Joy, he was targeting the Obsessive Evil, and the characteristic of the Obsessive Evil was extreme self-indulgence and enjoyment. Although Duanmu Huai did not intend to be as extreme as the Obsessive Evil, every time he thought of the God of Joy, he instinctively developed in this direction, especially after he got the Dao Heart Demon in the martial arts world before, Duanmu Huai felt that joy should be like this.

But now it seems that joy is not the only way, making yourself happy and making others happy is also a route.

Just like those comedians, such as Charlie Chaplin and Stephen Chow, the comedies they starred in are obviously joyful, right?

It should be?

Hmm? But it's not right?

"Wait, so you mean, what I do makes other people happy? Who could it be? It can't be Norn, right?"

Although the princess and Duanmu Huai are indeed in tune, and she is also quite immersed in Duanmu Huai's actions, Duanmu Huai doesn't think Norn can generate such a strong joyful force alone.

[GM21425: The actions of the gods will bring changes and influences. Sometimes it may not be you, but the joy caused by the influence and changes brought about by your actions...]

"I don't quite understand... Can you stop being such a riddler?"

Duanmu Huai said that he hated this kind of riddler who spoke unclearly the most.

[GM21425: As far as I can tell you, the God of Joy is a priesthood that is activated because your actions make others feel joyful]

"Others? My actions make others feel joyful?"

Duanmuhuai became more and more confused. He frowned. According to the GM, this priesthood was not given to me out of nowhere at the beginning, but because what I did made others happy, it was activated after reaching a certain limit. of. In other words...the same as the God of Destruction?

[GM21425: This is all I can say. Please open your eyes. Nothing is static, and there is not only one explanation. The same is true for the God of Joy]

"I seem to understand a little bit, but I still don't seem to understand quite..."

Although Duanmu Huai could somewhat understand what the other party meant, he still couldn't quite understand the nuances. After all... he was originally a person who liked to use his hands more than his brain.

[GM21425:…………Please wait]

The GM looked like he was dealing with something, then was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

[GM21425: As the first user of this system, and in order to compensate for your previous losses, I have applied to allow you to activate the 'reincarnation' effect in the second stage of the joyful mission. Do you want to use it? 】

"I don't quite understand. What does reincarnation mean? Does it mean you want me to die once?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned, and the other party quickly answered.

[GM21425: That’s not the case. Strictly speaking, it allows the user’s soul to travel through time and space and experience a brand new journey. You should have heard that in some myths and legends, there are stories of gods descending to earth, growing up, experiencing life, and then returning to heaven]

"Ah, you are talking about those stories about Wenquxing descending to earth."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately understood what the GM meant. Isn't Tang Monk in Journey to the West the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi? The descent of Wenquxing is an exclusive feature in many stories about gods and monsters. Not to mention ancient Chinese mythology, even in the world of Faerun, there is such a thing as the arrival of a saint, so as soon as the other party mentioned it, Duanmu Huai immediately understood what was going on.

[GM21425: Yes, previous users’ time travels were all done by themselves, so if you want to better understand the power of the God of Joy and start a new life from scratch, that is also an option]

"That seems right."

Duanmu Huai also thought of his previous time travels. Basically, he traveled by himself, or used characters in the game. It seemed that he had never started from scratch.

"But if you reincarnate like this, don't you usually have to lose your memory? Do I have to do the same?"

Duanmu Huai actually doesn't like stories about gods who lose their memory after reincarnation. After all, in his opinion, the gods who originally controlled the wind and rain in the heaven were ordered around and bullied in the human world, and they finally woke up and recovered their memories. Strength and stuff are too cliche. Although this is a normal story development, Duanmu Huai doesn't like this story development at all.

[GM21425: As a god, you can choose to keep your memory and be reborn. The specific method is as follows...]

"Um……………"

Duanmu Huai looked at the instructions sent by the other party. The content was very simple. Simply put, it was to automatically separate the soul from the body, then activate the task, and then choose a world line to travel through... It turns out that this is how gods descend to earth and be reborn, Duanmu Huai. Huai has never tried it before.

But...it doesn't seem to matter if you try it. After all, you have to try everything.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the mission progress and then pressed the button for the second stage.

The next moment, the scenery in front of him turned into a dark and boundless starry sky.

I saw that in this starry sky, threads emerged from all directions, and then extended from all directions.

"Let me take a look, it says... Well, these threads are the threads of a person's destiny. As long as they are inserted into them, they can live their lives from the beginning. The brighter the light, the more it represents the consequences of their abilities. Impact...influence? Does it mean impact on the world?”

Duanmuhuai looked at the system instructions, stretched out his hand and touched one of the threads of fate - there was no reaction.

"Then you just need to integrate your soul into the thread of fate, right... It's pretty simple to say... But which one should I choose?"

Duanmu Huai doesn't want to choose those too bright lines of fate, because the devil knows what kind of person these fate lines will turn him into, but there is no need for those too dim lines of fate, after all, he is not like in myths and legends. Those gods also come down to earth to suffer.

That's it.

Duanmu Huai nodded, then stretched out his hand to grab a thread of fate that didn't look bright or bleak. Then, he drove his soul to blend into it - the next moment, Duanmuhuai felt like he was riding a slide in a water park, rushing forward quickly.

Even if he is reincarnated, as long as he retains his memory, it should be fine.

Duanmu Huai thought so, but soon... he would find that this was a decision that he regretted extremely.
