Chapter 721: Chapter 440: Dawn Returns (Part 3)

For the first time in a century, the colossal entity that loomed over society shed its crimson blood.

Then, Commissioner Luo visited New Moon City, where the Black Rose performed its final solo dance with life, and strategists plunged into the game, making moves that defied the heavens.

[Black Tide War]

The Iron Sun was broken, the Capital City was fought over, and the torrent of constructs swept away the decaying regime.

The human elite, unwilling to fail, activated the Spear of Judgment intending to annihilate the world.

Su Mo, carrying the last hope of humankind, ascended Sky City and defeated the leaders in battle.

The dawn thus illuminated the darkness, and finally, clear skies returned after the rain.

…

The game system of “Dawn: Return” originally came with a time adjustment function to allow players to control the pace, but Su Mo set it to synchronize with reality at a one-to-one time ratio.

These events in the game spanned over three years, and Su Mo also played it in his secret hideout in the real world for more than three years.

Because he had to ensure that every step he took mirrored his past self completely.

Not only were those key plot points identical, but even the daily routines like waking times, every word spoken in conversations with others, every pause, how much he ate at each meal, and even the number of bites he took, matched perfectly with the past.

Every choice was the same, every flow was the same, and consequently, the final outcome was the same.

Relying on his hyperthymesia, Su Mo manipulated billions of worldlines, perfectly controlling the butterfly flapping the wings of fate.

In an endless sea of possibilities, this man who remembered everything wandered through time, reclaiming a world that was uniquely his own.

At the very end, as he uploaded Su Motong’s consciousness to the main brain and kissed Qi Ling farewell, Su Mo halted the game’s progress and set a breakpoint with the system program.

This was it.

His journey, once taken, ended here.

Su Mo meticulously organized the game data spanning over three years and fed it into the quantum computer that emerged in recent years, converting it using a specialized program into bioelectrical signals compatible with human neural pathways.

These were cutting-edge technologies developed over fifty years by Edge Technology, bringing rapid advancements to the world and limitless renown to Su Mo, even as it brought him wealth.

Of course, he never cared about these.

He never cared, all along.

With the conversion of data signals completed, Su Mo input them into the device for consciousness transfer. He also lay on the mechanical table, connecting his head to the device with the help of the intelligent system.

Su Mo: “Extract my entire biological consciousness and merge it with Zero’s data.”

The intelligent system’s calm voice responded: “Extracting the entire biological consciousness will result in direct death of the body. The system has automatically rejected this request for you.”

Su Mo: “Scan my biological information, execute the program as an administrator, code 0309, and lift all system restrictions.”

“Repeat, extract my entire biological consciousness and merge it with Zero’s data.”

Intelligent system: “Administrator identity confirmed, system restrictions lifted, operation permission granted.”

“As per the set program requirement, making the final confirmation: extracting the entire biological consciousness will result in the direct death of the body, are you sure to proceed?”

In the dark room, Su Mo smiled—a smile of no regrets for his life.

“My body will die, but my consciousness will exist in digital form, until the end of time.”

“I have lived in this world for over seventy years, bade farewell to friends I played with from youth to old age, and cared for my loving parents… I have lived an immensely fulfilling life.”

“Proceed with the consciousness transfer and fusion.”

“I am going home.”
