"This is the list of the first batch of people to participate in the consciousness transfer." Fei Yuhan handed a report to Roland. "Although you told me not to ask you anything, Mr. Rock insisted on letting you take a look."
"Since he's so worried, fine." Roland helplessly flipped open the report and quickly scanned through the list of names. A few familiar names immediately came into view. It was no surprise that Fei Yuhan was first on the list. She had long expressed her desire to visit the other world, and the new Gateway Project happened to satisfy her curiosity.
He saw Garcia's and Zero's names at the bottom of the list.
So that's why … This was probably the reason why the Guardian insisted on letting him take a look.
"To be honest, I'm also a little worried." Fei Yuhan went straight to the point. "You mentioned before that they are also key figures in the formation of the Dream World, right? If there's an accident during the consciousness transfer, or if they find their past selves, will our world still be able to maintain its current state? "
"Of course." Roland smiled. "If it was in the past, it would be hard to say. But now, the Dream World is a part of the Cradle. As long as I'm here, this world will continue."
When he told them about the history of Hermes and the Royal Writ, he had already expected such a day.
Although they had obtained a new life in the Realm of Mind, that did not mean that they had to keep their past a secret.
He was also very curious as to how the two of them would look at the other world. However, he was sure that they would not return to their past appearances.
"Then I'll pass on your words to Rock." Fei Yuhan nodded.
"Right, there's one more thing. Help me pass on a message." Roland stopped her. "There's only one last step left in the new Gateway Project. I'll be leaving for a period of time, and I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't tell me you're thinking of throwing away your responsibilities and enjoying being a god." The celebrity martialist sized him up suspiciously.
"What are you talking about!" Roland coughed twice. "It's just that what I can do next is extremely limited. The knowledge base of conventional techniques has been opened to both worlds, but how to use magic power still depends on you guys."
This was not a false statement.
Even though the central control system had a backup, only the Custodian's unique copy was affected by the magic. After all, magic would only interact with consciousness, and an unactivated backup was obviously just an ordinary machine. This made it so that Roland was unable to spontaneously comprehend magic powers like the Custodian. He could only use the laws that the Custodian had already grasped — although just understanding these would take him nearly a thousand years.
"It's better to let smarter people do the research." Fei Yuhan patted his shoulder generously. "But I believe that there will always be people from both worlds who will stand up, just like how we fought against God together."
After saying that, she waved her hand, turned around, and walked towards the Guardian's office.
She was expressing that she did not need to be as lonely as the Custodian.
It turned out that this fellow also knew how to encourage people.
Roland shook his head in amusement and took out a small recorder from his sleeve.
It was just that his curiosity was a little too exuberant.
Walking out of the sanatorium building, there were people coming and going outside. After taking over the Cradle, he had used a long time to restore the operations of the Realm of Mind. Therefore, to the Dream World, the destruction caused by the Erosion War had not been completely erased. The Association was filled with scenes of hundreds of things waiting to be done.
Not everyone here knew the truth — the long interruption period had not left any memories for them, much less recognize who he was. Even if there were people who stopped to greet him, it was because of the badge on his chest that represented the highest echelons of the Association. This feeling was rather subtle for Roland.
And in the crowd, Roland saw a familiar figure.
The Nightmare Valkries.
"I'm here to bid you farewell." She walked in front of him.
"Are you planning to go back too?"
"Go back?" She shrugged. "No, I'll stay here."
Roland was taken aback. "Wait, what about your race?"
"With Sky Lord and Silent Disaster watching over them, along with the remaining senior lords, there's no need to worry about the others causing any problems before the migration," Valkries said frankly. "Besides, me staying in the Dream World is the most beneficial thing for my race. My body will merge with the Mother of Soul and become the new king. But compared to the previous king, it will no longer have an independent consciousness. This is also a consensus. "
"Serakkas agreed?" Roland remembered that she had followed Anna and Nightingale all the way to the bottom of the cave when the Red Mist was on the verge of running out.
"It's not an eternal farewell. Besides, Hackzord has already obtained his own domain. Once the beacon device's experiment is successful, he can enter the Dream World at any time. "
"Alright." Roland raised his eyebrows. "Then why do you say it's a farewell?"
"Because the one leaving isn't me, but you," Valkries said wistfully. "If I'm not wrong, you've already decided to go into hiding, right? Since magic power is related to consciousness, it's obvious that more clashes of wills can result in more diverse outcomes. This also means that the presence of 'God' has to be as low as possible. From the fact that you chose to let the Realm of Mind come into contact with the real world, you have undoubtedly made your decision. If you don't bid farewell now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another opportunity in the future. "
She paused and said with a serious expression, "Most people can't help but flaunt themselves after obtaining great power, but you have placed the world's future first. I have to admit that your thoughts far exceed an ordinary human's. Even I am ashamed of my inferiority. You are indeed the most suitable candidate to become a Custodian. "
Upon saying that, Valkries lowered her head slightly and bowed to him.
Roland was momentarily speechless. Although he had indeed considered it as she said, the more important reason was another reason — a reason that had nothing to do with the world or the future, and a reason that was much simpler.
But at such a time, it was obviously inappropriate for him to say it.
In the end, he could only pretend to be calm and nod his head. He then strode forward and brushed past Valkries, leaving her with a view of his back that was gradually disappearing into the distance.
Walking to a deserted corner, Roland's thoughts moved slightly, and in the next second, he appeared thousands of kilometers away.
It was a valley with beautiful scenery, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A gentle breeze blew through the willow forest, leaving ripples on the clear surface of the lake.
And at the top of the valley sat an elegant manor.
He walked past the courtyard and garden, stopped in front of the house, and gently knocked on the door.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard from inside.
Roland's reason was simple. The road ahead indeed required meticulous planning and full effort, but in the long span of millions of years, even if he delayed it a little, it wouldn't affect him much.
After being busy for so long, he finally found a reason to rest for a moment.
The door opened, and behind it was Nightingale.
Her radiant smile and golden hair illuminated Roland's eyes.
As for Anna, she sat on the sofa in the living room and nodded slightly at him.
"Welcome back," she said softly.
"I'm back." Roland smiled as he walked into the house.
The road unfurled beneath his feet. Regardless of what the future held, it would be a brand new page.
