Gate of Revelation

Chapter 864 Finale

Half an hour later, the code streams that had been tumbling and churning like waves outside the domain suddenly stopped.

All the codes had fallen still, seemingly frozen as they encircled the small domain.

“Shen… succeeded.”

Du Wei said softly.

The code streams falling into an inactive state meant that the refresh command had been stopped.

In other words, this world and the Upper Plane had been completely split off.

And now, there was only one final thing to do.

“Then… the final step! Just like last time, just slash down, right?”

Chen Xiaolian brought out the Sword in the Stone and moved to stand before the Oddity.

With this one slash, everything will finally end.

Qiao Qiao, Roddy, Soo Soo… everyone will come back.

No more instance dungeons.

No more Development Team.

Everything will return to how it used to be.

Only… he will no longer be around.

Chen Xiaolian raised the Sword in the Stone up high.

But before he could slash down, a firm and powerful hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw Du Wei shaking his head at him.

“Reversing the refresh is the same as reading a file. The last time, the Development Team stopped the reversal midway, allowing you to live. You won’t be as lucky this time. You will definitely die. Moreover, you will completely disappear as though you’ve been refreshed.”

“Nonsense. You’ve already said that last time.” Chen Xiaolian pursed his lips to the side.

“But if I don’t do this, am I supposed to hope that one of you will? At any rate…I should have died back then. I only survived because the Development Team stopped the refresh reversal. The fact that I could live this long is already good enough.”

“Just leave it to me, then.” Du Wei shook his head and said with a faint smile. “Since you’ve done it once before, this time, someone else should do it.”

“Du Wei?” Stunned, Cheng Cheng called out Du Wei’s name. “What are you doing?”

“If Shen can nail himself onto the cross for the sake of this world, why can’t I?” Du Wei revealed a carefree smile. “There are two spots on the cross. Someone has to take the place.”

Those words were spoken with a very casual tone, as though it was something unrelated to him.

“But we…” Cheng Cheng raised her eyebrows.

Chen Xiaolian had already informed them about Osgiliath.

Within that barren world, their father was waiting for them.

“You can just meet him on my behalf. At any rate, he gave birth to two. Losing one won’t be that upsetting,” Du Wei responded with an indifferent smile.

“What kind of shameful words are you spouting?!” Cheng Cheng glared at Du Wei fiercely.

“I’ll do it.”

A voice as cold as stone suddenly spoke up.

Chen Xiaolian turned around. When his eyes fell upon the owner of the voice, his eyes immediately widened.

The one who said that, was Bai Qi!

Surprisingly, it was Bai Qi.

Bai Qi… wanted to be the sacrifice?

It wasn’t just Chen Xiaolian. The others all had shellshocked faces.

“Hey, Bai Qi, are you for real here?” Gabriel stretched his hand out to point at Bai Qi. “I know you’re crazy, but… even though you used to be crazy, you weren’t this crazy!”

Du Wei revealed a wry smile and rubbed his nose. “Bai Qi, surely, you aren’t thinking of using this to atone for your crimes of killing too many people in the past, are you?”

Bai Qi’s face remained unmoved and he said coldly, “Whenever I, Bai Qi, kills others, who would dare judge me?”

“Then just why…” Despite racking his brains, Du Wei simply did not think that Bai Qi would volunteer.

This was Bai Qi!

The Bai Qi who killed humans like a madman, like the smelly and hard stone in a latrine.

“I have the least number of friends, only you guys.” Bai Qi remained expressionless. “Me doing it will be the most cost-effective choice.”

“That… is your reasoning? Is the word cost-effective even usable here?” Gabriel stared blankly at Bai Qi.

Ignoring Gabriel, Bai Qi then walked straight towards the Oddity and brought out his sword. “Out of the way.”

Silently exchanging glances, Chen Xiaolian and Du Wei then stepped back in either direction to make way for Bai Qi.

They knew all too well that there was no way to reason with someone like Bai Qi. Once he had made up his mind, no one could pull him back.

Bai Qi stood before the Oddity. Turning around, he glanced at the others, his gaze resting on the faces of everyone there for a moment. Suddenly, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

“In the past, I was wrong.”

“You, to think that you would actually acknowledge…”

Gabriel cried out exaggeratedly, but before he could finish his words, Bai Qi’s sword had already slashed down.

The last thing Chen Xiaolian saw was the numerous rays of light radiating out from the Oddity.

The very next moment, he found himself descending into darkness.

…

“Wake up. Sir, wake up.”

A gentle female voice rang out from beside Chen Xiaolian’s ear.

Chen Xiaolian gradually woke up from his blurry state of consciousness. Opening his eyes, he saw a warm and pleasant-looking face.

Takashimoto… Shizuka?

It took Chen Xiaolian three seconds to find the name from his memories.

Next, the rest of his memories quickly followed suit, surging into his mind.

Plane crash… crash landed on a deserted island… meeting Soo Soo and Takashimoto Shizuka… subdued the Four-eyed War Cat… activating the personal system…

“Sir. We, have arrived…”

Takashimoto Shizuka’s grasp of the Chinese language was still not good and she could only utter out simple words. With a bright and beautiful smile on her face, she stretched her hand out and gestured at Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian woke up with a start and straightened himself.

The other passengers in the first-class cabin were already packing up their luggage as they prepared to get off the plane. Takashimoto Shizuka, seeing Chen Xiaolian still asleep earlier, came closer to wake him up.

Chen Xiaolian’s heart was pounding. He turned his head to the side and looked.

Soo Soo was carrying her small trolley case and was already standing on the aisle.

I’ve… returned?

Returned to the plane that crashed.

Quickly, Chen Xiaolian did a check.

No more personal system.

All the power was gone as well.

There was nothing left. He had become a completely ordinary human once again.

The door of the plane had already opened and the stewardesses lined up at the door with a professional smile on their faces as they watched the passengers get off the plane.

Chen Xiaolian abruptly got up. He didn’t even bother picking up his luggage. Instead, he closely followed Soo Soo down the plane.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart as he followed Soo Soo to the airport lobby. Finally, he saw that familiar figure.

Long black hair, with a mask on her face, revealing only her beautiful eyes. There was also the pair of legs, long and straight.

Qiao Qiao!

It was Qiao Qiao.

As expected. Everything had returned.

Only, the current Qiao Qiao and Soo Soo did not know him.

Chen Xiaolian was in the midst of mentally debating whether to step forward and strike a conversation now or wait until he had returned and contact Qiao Qiao through Roddy when he suddenly saw Soo Soo run towards Qiao Qiao, her head sinking into Qiao Qiao’s bosom.

She seemingly whispered something to Qiao Qiao. Next, Qiao Qiao’s eyes, which remained visible outside the mask, changed. She stepped forward with her two long legs, moving towards Chen Xiaolian.

And then…

Her high heel struck Chen Xiaolian’s calf with great force.

“Pervert! If I see you follow my sister again, I’ll cut you up!”

Chen Xiaolian clutched his calf, his face filled with pain as he crouched on the ground. He watched as Qiao Qiao furiously threw a middle finger in his direction before turning around and taking Soo Soo towards a Land Rover with big strides.

So… after this, I will have to pursue her all over again?

…

Three days later.

“So, in the end, the one called Shen and the one called Bai Qi sacrificed themselves to save this world? Including me and Soo Soo?”

“Exactly!”

“I am your girlfriend. Furthermore, we’ve been through many life and death situations together? And Roddy and Soo Soo, we are all members of the same guild?”

“True!”

“But the system, Development Team, Players, Awakened ones, instance dungeon, GM… all of these things, you don’t have any evidence at all because everything has been restored to their original state due to the refresh reversal?”

“A spot-on summary!”

“Then, how do you expect me to believe you? You are a webnovel writer. Who knows? Maybe you made this all up?”

“Let me think… you have a birthmark. It’s at…”

“Pervert! Were you spying on me?”

“Hey! Stop hitting me! It’s the truth!”

“Enough nonsense! If I don’t beat you to your death today, then my name is not Qiao Qiao!”

…

One week later…

“Hey, I’ll give you a chance. Watch a movie with me.”

“Today? But I haven’t finished typing up my new chapter.”

“What’s the big deal with not updating for one day?”

“But if I break my update schedule, the readers will scold me…”

“Don’t forget, you swore a vicious oath before Roddy to succeed in pursuing me. If you don’t, you will never touch another woman and your right hand ever again in this life.”

“Roddy, that bastard! He even told you that? But I also made a vicious oath to my readers. If I break my update schedule again this month, I’ll have to break my pp.”

“So, which one will you choose?”

“Break… just break it!”

…

One month later…

“Qiao Qiao…”

“What?”

“Did you ever believe all the things I told you?”

“Why are you asking this again? Is it very important?”

“Looking at it now. It seems… it truly isn’t that important.”

“Alright. Hurry up and go sleep. Good night.”

“Good night.”
