Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 870 - 867 - ’Expected Lifespan: 20 years.

When speaking of "Deity," Yvette’s face showed a devout expression. Similarly, most of the people were holding up the redwood rings in their hands—symbols of Faith.

The Deity once decreed that the world is a "circle".

Although no one has understood the specific meaning of the Deity’s words to this day, the circular pattern has become the most revered emblem among believers.

People smiled, like a mask of a smile embedded on their faces, as if mentioning the Deity, everyone must feel happy.

"The ’Deity’ has given us the method to save the world, allowing us to advance the game plot through dream patrols, dispel the black mist, and reclaim lost lands," Yvette said:

"For many years, the brave and fearless Dream Patrol Families have risked their lives in the two currently available games [The Cat and Her] and [Louyue Nation]. A year ago, they fully completed the game [The Cat and Her]. They also completed the prologue of [Louyue Nation] (Prologue·Louyue Establishment)."

"This game progress cleared 5% of the black mist for us, expanding our existing land from 20% to 25%. We were able to reclaim vast areas of farmland and ponds, plant food, and cultivate fish and shrimp, saving countless lives."

"This makes us firmly believe that our lands can continue to be reclaimed. Under the guidance of the Deity, humanity’s future will tenaciously continue forward."

As she spoke, people smiled.

"But currently, there’s a significant problem with the progress of humanity," Yvette’s tone suddenly became serious: "—the dream patrol progress has stalled."

She extended her hand, and the flag behind her switched to a slide, revealing the map of Louyue Nation.

"After [Prologue·Louyue Establishment], despite a year’s efforts, the Dream Patrol Families could not complete [Chapter One - White Lotus Doomsday]."

"If Chapter One cannot be completed, humanity’s land area will forever be stuck at 25%. Even scarier is that the black mist is constantly spreading. This is a tug-of-war where not advancing means retreating. If we cannot further reclaim land, the meager land we have will be devoured entirely by the black mist."

"Moreover, exotic species and anomalies are continually claiming human lives. There are massive sacrifices in daily battles between frontline warriors and exotic species... it’s a brutal struggle."

As she said this, she sighed slightly.

Someone raised their hand: "Madam Councilman, don’t be upset, don’t sigh, please cheer up!"

Modern humanity has discovered that the power source of exotic species and anomalies is human negative emotions.

So, under no circumstances should one feel sadness, especially not in public would they transmit negative emotions to others. Only by smiling every day, feeling happy every day, can the rampage of exotic species and anomalies be suppressed—this is content written in the laws of the World of Old Days:

[In public crying loudly, punishment is imprisonment for more than three years, less than ten years. For shorter crying duration, imprisonment is more than one year, less than three years.]

No sadness allowed.

No crying allowed.

One must always be happy and joyous.

Yvette immediately restored her smile, and even intentionally made a comical face, sticking out her tongue and making funny faces, as people burst into laughter, sweeping away the previously gloomy atmosphere.

However, although people were delighted, they must still pay attention to the current problem.

—If truly no Dream Patrol Family can complete [Chapter One - White Lotus Doomsday], then humanity’s Destiny has come to an end.

"What is the reason for this?" a bald politician shouted intensely: "I’ve watched the Dream Patrol Families’ live streams and recordings and feel they are very powerful. Why can’t they complete Chapter One?"

During the dream patrol process, Dream Patrol Families could livestream. Livestreaming allows them to gain extra Spirit Points and reduces negative emotions in viewers, preventing the exotic species at the frontline from becoming stronger.

In the World of Old Days, there is a Dream Patrol Family Leaderboard, with the most popular dream patrol family watched by over a billion people each patrol. Every once in a while, the Deity descends an oracle to reorder the ranking of the Dream Patrol Families.

A middle-aged entrepreneur next to him said: "No matter, even if the main plot cannot be advanced. The Dream Patrol Families can still obtain Spirit Points by advancing the side plots, and a large number of Spirit Points can also dispel a part of the black mist. Although it treats the symptoms, not the root cause, it is still not in vain."

"We still have to clear Chapter One for there to be subsequent progress." A white-robed clergy member shook his head and said: "It’s been a year since [The Cat and Her] game was fully completed, yet no new games have appeared. Just [Louyue Nation] is not enough. We need more games to proceed hand in hand, or we will eventually be devoured by the black mist."

"Currently, the strongest dream patrol family comes from Dragon City, named Yi Zhongyu. He has 87% mastery of the Fourth Level, studying the swordsmanship branch of the Attack method. In dream patrols, he becomes a famous General of Louyue Nation, but he hasn’t discovered how to complete Chapter One, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem of Strength," said a white-haired professor from Silver Frost High School.

They were discussing.

Yvette waited for everyone to quiet down, frowning slightly. If no constructive opinion could be given, this meeting would end without resolution. Some might even develop negative emotions.

At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"—Quick! Look at the dream patrol progress leaderboard!!"

Everyone frowned, startled by the blaring person.

The Deity created many leaderboards. Those at the top of the leaderboard can receive Spirit Points bestowed by the Deity.

[Dream Patrol Family Popularity Leaderboard]

[Dream Patrol Progress Leaderboard]

[Frontline Battlefield Contribution Value Personal Leaderboard]

[Rear Support Contribution Value Personal Leaderboard]

[...]

Among these, the most valued is the Dream Patrol Progress Leaderboard. It signifies the Exploration Degree of the main plot.

People waved their fingers, summoning the azure leaderboard interface. Clicking on the [Dream Patrol Progress Leaderboard], they were instantly astonished.

...

[Dream Patrol Progress Leaderboard (Louyue Nation):

First place: ? (Progress: Chapter Two 0%)

Second place: Yi Zhongyu (Progress: Chapter One 87%)

Third place: Xi (Progress: Chapter One 86%)

Fourth place: Little Watermelon (Progress: Chapter One 85%)

Fifth place: Caro (Progress: Chapter One 85%)

Sixth place: Lv Chengzhu (Progress: Chapter One 83%)

...]

...

The originally constant first place, Yi Zhongyu, had fallen to second place. And the anonymous first place was shockingly displaying a progress of [Chapter Two 0%].

—What does this mean?

"Someone has cleared Chapter One..." Yvette murmured.

People looked at each other, full of disbelief.

In due course, several people in military uniforms panted and ran onto the stage:

"Madam Councilman, in the Land of Utter Darkness, a portion of the black mist has dispersed! Approximately 2% of land can be reclaimed! Someone must have cleared Chapter One!"

—humanity’s dream patrol progress, stuck for a whole year, was suddenly breached by an anonymous dream patrol family.

"Is... is this true?"

"Oh my God..."

People looked at each other and cheered wholeheartedly.

Someone suggested that we should quickly find out who this dream patrol family member is and award him the Honor medal.

This dream patrol family member has overcome a checkpoint that humanity has been stagnant on for a year. This indicates that he possesses extremely high Strength, and the identity he possesses in the Louyue Nation must also be very high. It is likely that he is the Eldest Prince that no one has been able to possess so far.

"Can we find out who this dream patrol family member is?" Yvette asked.

"Councilwoman, we have no technological means to pinpoint the real-world location of the dream patrol family member unless he actively exposes his real identity online." The officer said: "According to some dream patrol family members, at the last moment, they saw a woman in a white dress floating above the Royal City. After that, Chapter One was shown to be completed, unclear who did it."

"Try your best to find out who it is..." Yvette’s voice trailed off.

Though this is a united meeting, humanity is not completely united. This meeting includes those who rebel against the Deity, human traitors, and leaders from other cities harboring Ghost motives. If they find this dream patrol family member first, it would be disastrous.

This dream patrol family member being able to complete Chapter One means the identity he possesses must be extremely important. Experts have found that only specific people can possess certain identities. Their progress has been stuck because they lack such a person.

Now this person has appeared.

Once this news spreads, all twenty-six Kingdoms and thirty-two independent cities will surely be in uproar.

Yvette ended the meeting, stepped down from the high platform, and kissed the redwood ring in her hand.

She firmly believed that the emergence of this dream patrol family member is a breaking point created by the Deity, and it is because the Deity pitied humanity’s stalled progress that such a dream patrol family member appeared out of nowhere to complete Chapter One.

The Deity loves His believers this way. He created such a "dream patrol" salvation method and helped humanity overcome difficulties.

"Deity, oh Deity..."

She murmured devoutly. At this moment, the three hundred people in the meeting room suddenly fell silent. They quietly watched her step down from the stage and walk towards the door.

The afternoon sun shone on her face, Yvette’s eyes were extremely gentle and serene.

When she arrived at the window, the next moment, the iron structure in the high air suddenly fell without warning, being tugged by the curtain, crashing towards her.

But she did not evade, just stood quietly in place. Everyone watched helplessly as the heavy iron structure crashed towards her, yet no one came to her aid; instead, like an act of devotion, everyone silently watched this scene.

"Rip—rip" The curtain was torn off, the falling speed of the iron structure increased more and more. Its weight is enormous; if it hits her, her outcome could only be Death.

Yet she did not evade, only cried out, her expression despairing and calm:

"Oh Deity! I surrender to the Destiny you arranged for me!"

"—We are your most loyal believers! Please also Bless humanity as a species!!"

"Boom—!!!"

The iron structure crashed, she was pinned to the ground, with a "boom," sharp rebar pierced through her forehead, her bones shattered, blood flowed all over the ground, her hand still tightly gripping the redwood ring, a corner of her crushed head exposed lips, still maintaining the posture of kissing the ring.

She was crushed to death by the iron structure, everyone quietly watched her being crushed to death. Their expressions showed no sadness or shock, as if they had already foreseen this scene.

At this moment, a brilliant blue light emerged from her body:

[Name: Yvette

Age: 42 years

Estimated Life: 42 years

Cause of Death: Crushed to death by an iron structure after the united meeting. Time: Year 827 Old Days, February 3 afternoon at 1:20 pm]

...

The reason for people’s such calmness is because they know—this is the Destiny that the "Deity" had written for Yvette.

In the World of Old Days, everyone’s Destiny is arranged by the "Deity".

Yvette saw a line stating her cause of death appear on her information panel at the age of 18 adulthood. At that time, she understood that she would die at 42 from an iron structure; this is the ending arranged for her by the "Deity".

She informed others about this, and others expressed regret for her. Because their estimated life is generally between 60 to 80 years. 42 years is somewhat short for a person.

But no one protested because this is the arrangement of the "Deity". Even if they don’t know the purpose of this arrangement, they cannot defy it.

—As long as one’s life follows the time nodes arranged by the Deity, there must be benefits for humans as a species.

People firmly believe this.

Yvette worked diligently since that time. She knew her life would be shorter than others, so she had to make double the effort to achieve her wishes before Death—she wanted to become a Councilman.

At the age of 36, she succeeded.

—At that moment she knew she had a six-year term.

No more than a year, no less than a year.

Finally, after this united meeting, in the world’s gaze, she calmly accepted her Destiny—dying at 42 being crushed by an iron structure as written by the Deity.

Even if she didn’t want to accept such Destiny, choosing to escape in the instant the iron structure fell, she would likely die from other causes. Death at 42 is a time point she could hardly surpass.

Of course, organizations like the "Anti-Destiny Alliance" rebelling against the Deity were born in the human world, having studied some methods of escaping Destiny. But Yvette, a conservative, believed that only by obeying the Deity could humanity have a way out.

—For humanity’s future, she is willing not to resist the Deity and face Death calmly.

...

[Deity—oh Deity!!! I have obeyed the Destiny you arranged for me for my whole life!]

[—We are your most loyal believers! Please also Bless humanity as a species!]

...

It’s like an equitable transaction between humanity and Deity.

—You protect us, we obey Destiny.

...

...

"Madness."

In the room, Su Ming’an browsed the smartphone, roughly figuring out the situation of this world.

"A Deity that arranges everyone’s Destiny?" Su Ming’an muttered to himself: "Another guy like Su Rin?"

He opened his personal information, and sure enough, it mentioned his estimated life and cause of death.

...

[Estimated Life: 20 years]

[Cause of Death: Not yet arranged]

...

"20 years." Su Ming’an stared at this line.

The Deity is really not polite to him.
