Online games: I have super-god-level talents

Chapter 2197 A beautiful ending, but not really!

Lin Tianhao reached out and tremblingly stroked Lin Qingqing's face. The touch felt so real, even... somewhat inexplicably familiar.

"You're amazing. You were able to simulate such a world in such a short time, a world with flesh and blood," Lin Tianhao said.

Talofis frowned slightly. "Actually, I was quite surprised too. Normally, simulating such a world is not an easy thing."

"But it turned out to be much, much simpler than I had expected."

Lin Tianhao stared at the little elf Talophis for a while without saying a word.

The little elf Talophis smiled and said:

"There are powerful enough algorithms to support this, so you can do anything and get almost perfectly accurate simulation results."

"For example, the ambitious Taoist priest, for example, the god-level talent, and for example... your bloodline."

"If you think it's too slow, I can even help you improve."

Listening to what the little fairy Talophis said, Lin Tianhao shook his head. "Let nature take its course."

Lin Tianhao returned to the Dream Chaser Club, entered the game, watched the promotional video, and awakened the Hand of Heavenly Punishment.

Everything felt so real, so dreamlike.

Lin Tianhao encountered Shadow Assassin, Floating Pagoda Shield Mountain, and also met the Ambitious Taoist Priest at the hospital...

History always repeats itself in surprising ways; it was as if Lin Tianhao was walking the same path he had come from.

He is growing, he is constantly improving.

This time.

He progressed faster and received more rewards.

One can stand in Ragnarok and revive the Mountain and Sea Empire, opening the mortal palace.

As familiar faces appeared around him one by one, Lin Tianhao's expression grew increasingly wooden.

He desperately wished it were all real, but he knew perfectly well that it was all an illusion, a simulation by the little elf Talophis.

But he didn't want to disrupt everything here; he felt that things were fine as they were.

In the blink of an eye.

Five years have passed.

This time, Lin Tianhao reached an even higher level than before, and he was even more at ease when facing the powerful figures of the Aret Galaxy.

These guys from the Arete Galaxy were like chickens and dogs in front of Lin Tianhao; they were utterly insignificant.

Lin Tianhao continued to improve, defeating the Arete Galaxy, and Blue Star was saved!!

Everyone was cheering and celebrating, but Lin Tianhao felt a profound emptiness in his heart.

"If all of this were true, how wonderful that would be."

With tears in his eyes, Lin Qingqing ran excitedly to Lin Tianhao.

"Brother, why are you crying? Are you too happy?"

"Brother Hao, we've finally defeated those bastards from the Aret Galaxy. From now on, we'll never be troubled by war again." The fat man put his arm around Lin Tianhao's shoulder.

"Brother Hao, I...I'm getting married. This is my invitation. You have to come!" Glasses handed the invitation to Lin Tianhao somewhat timidly.

The monkey darted away and snatched the invitation. "Glasses, you're up to no good! You're secretly getting married."

"Hey Glasses, weren't you always wandering around ancient tombs? Your wife isn't some thousand-year-old female corpse, is she?"

Glasses was furious and snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about? You'll find out when I get married."

"Snow Emperor, do you... want to date?" Jian Wushuang casually ran up to Lin Tianhao.

"Yo yo yo, Brother Hao, it has to be you again."

"Together, together..."

……

One familiar face after another appeared, accompanied by laughter and cheerful chatter, and Lin Tianhao couldn't help but smile as well.

"If this is really how it ends... then how wonderful that would be!"

The more beautiful this place was, the more Lin Tianhao's heart ached.

He wanted to deceive himself, to succumb to this place, but he couldn't!

"I...want to be alone."

Lin Tianhao still couldn't bear to break all of this. He took a pot of wine and sat alone on the pavilion of the main hall, looking at the vast Shanhai Empire, at the bustling city, and at the people he wanted to protect with everything he had. His fingers trembled involuntarily.

"Gululu——"

Lin Tianhao took a big gulp of alcohol, which stimulated and numbed his nerves. Only in this way could he let go of everything here for a while.

"Snow Emperor, we won, but you don't seem very happy."

The ambitious Taoist priest appeared beside Lin Tianhao carrying a pot of wine.

Lin Tianhao glanced at the ambitious Daoist and asked:

"Master Ambition, tell me, what should I do if all this prosperity and everything before me is an illusion?"

"Does that include us too?" the ambitious Taoist priest retorted.

Lin Tianhao nodded and said with a wry smile:

"Including the people and things here, and everything else, it's all fake. Sometimes I even feel like I'm fake myself."

The ambitious Taoist priest shook his head and said:

"In this world, there isn't that much truth and falsehood. What you believe to be true is true, and what you believe to be false is false, no matter how true it may seem. Everything... is just a matter of your own mind."

"Yes, everything... is just a matter of a single thought from me."

Lin Tianhao slowly stood up, closed his eyes, took a step, and the world turned upside down. He returned to the icy and snowy land once again.

"Why...do you do this to yourself?"

Chen Changsheng's voice rang out, "Does it really matter whether it's true or false? We are just people passing through your lives; you should let it go."

The little fairy Talophis hesitated for a moment, then finally said:

"As you can see, the world I simulated is so realistic, yet you still can't accept it because deep down, you're already rejecting this world. You have a thought in your mind that keeps telling yourself: Earth is gone, everyone on Earth is dead."

Lin Tianhao gave a wry smile, "Isn't that right?"

"But does it matter? What strong person hasn't had some precious friends, relatives, or confidantes? On the path of constantly becoming stronger, they will eventually drift apart."

Lin Tianhao hesitated, ultimately unsure of what to say; his emotions remained complex.

"I do not know."

The little elf Talophis smiled when he saw Lin Tianhao's current appearance and said:

"The great Lord of the Ruins once said that in a person's life, one will meet many fellow travelers, but few of these fellow travelers will truly accompany you from the beginning to the end of the road. Most people will get separated at various crossroads."

"But that's not important. We've had some wonderful times together, and that's enough. We shouldn't ask for too much. Otherwise, it will tire you out, and it will tire those who are with you."
