Chapter 293 Scene 9999
The sword shadow, as white and pure as snow, spread into a gorgeous galaxy. "An Tianming" was finally unable to use another person's body to exist anymore, and the ever-spreading cracks shattered into glass-like fragments.
Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, An Tianming's body was pulled back to the golden tree behind him by countless branches.
A new crack can be observed with the naked eye between the tree trunks.
"Don't forget who buried you under the World Tree Technology."
An Ming snorted coldly, and Qianying flashed past like thunder, leaving a meteor tail in the air and piercing through the tree trunk in an instant.
“You can’t change it.”
The voice was still calm, but now it sounded more like a final struggle.
"Really?" An Ming walked towards the tree trunk step by step, "Then let's change it from now on."
After all, branches and buds are only part of the "tree". Even if they take root, they are not real golden trees.
It's ridiculous that such a being wants to control his destiny.
"One thousand cherry blossoms."
Hereby we cut off the shackles of the past and change the outcome of the future.
When the thousands of cherry blossoms faded, the divine golden tree quietly dissipated, turning into countless dust-like points of light that floated in the wind, like willow catkins flying everywhere and gradually drifting away.
Those consciousnesses that were once collected have now been returned to their original places.
Like a warm rain, not cold at all.
Aha above the clouds showed a satisfied smile. It really made him see a good pleasure. It seems that the initial choice was right... This guy is a real fraudster.
Hmm~ How about just recruiting him as your younger brother?
Ah Ha laughed and disappeared on the spot, leaving only the remnant of cheerful laughter.
Bathed in the golden light, An Ming turned and walked to the car that was still suspended in the air, and brought Sakura and Hanabi back to the ground.
"Oh my god, you really killed that thing? That's so cool," Hanabi chattered excitedly, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Sakura's anxiety was written in her eyes, and her violet eyes showed a hint of sadness.
"You're leaving soon, aren't you?"
Compared to Hanabi who hides the sadness of separation deep in her heart, Sakura expresses it more directly.
An Ming returned Qianying to Ying and said with a smile: "The fraudster has fulfilled his duties and walked the path he should walk. Now, leave the rest to me next time."
"What...what are you talking about?"
Hua Huo tightly grasped An Ming's hands, but was horrified to find that those hands had already turned transparent, as if they would disappear completely at any time.
How could such a smart girl like Huo Huo not guess An Ming's ending? But she just didn't want to believe it. An Ming was an omnipotent trickster, and even the gods were no match for him.
How could he leave her like this...
Hanabi suddenly lost all her strength and knelt on the ground trembling. Her eyes were red but she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
This was not the ending she wanted.
If all this is fake, and even if the help I provided back then was just part of the script, so what?
Be it the script or the hypocrisy, she just wants to be with An Ming forever.
What reincarnation, what simulation, it's all bullshit! Hua Huo doesn't care, she just wants to hold An Ming's hand tightly, this love is definitely not a false feeling.
"Don't cry, that's not like you."
An Ming gently wiped away the tears that had covered Hua Huo's cheeks. The delicate little face was now filled with confusion and fear. He gently touched the fox mask on the girl's head and said with a smile:
"When we meet next time, I will give you the Trickster's Mask."
"But, you are the best con man in Hanabi's mind..." Hanabi's nose twitched. From beginning to end, the one who could not accept the ending the most was the seemingly smiling Hanabi.
She couldn't accept this ending.
"【At the age of 19, Hua Huo received the attention of the Joy Star God, became the Joy Envoy, gained powerful strength, traveled to a more distant planet, and met you again in the distant future】"
"【At the age of 20, Ying realized the ultimate of Qianying and went to a planet more suitable for practicing swordsmanship, becoming a master of kendo】"
As the golden tree in the distance faded away, An Ming gave Hanabi and Sakura his most precious blessing, which was also the last thing he could do.
"What about you..." Sakura's eyes were slightly red. She rarely showed her emotions, but at this moment she could not hide her inner sadness.
"I've been given the greatest gift ever."
An Ming looked at the dawn rising in the sky, a happy smile appearing on the corners of his mouth, even though his body was rapidly dissipating at this moment.
“I have never felt so alive as I do now.”
At this moment, he has a future, his own future.
This is what is called freedom.
No one knows what is on the other side after dawn, but if you don’t go there, you will never know.
A future without a script will be full of unknowns, but this unknown is life.
The illusory golden shackles began to dissipate along with An Ming's body. Bathed in the warm sunshine, he slowly disappeared into the horizon.
Finally, Anming smiled at Hanabi.
"If we could meet again."
"Let's call this past... a secondary simulation."
This is a story about a trickster, so naturally it has to have the style of a trickster.
What is true? Absolute falsehood is true.
[End of simulation]

【The 9999th Fireworks Show】
Hanabi stood on the familiar stage, looking at the empty seat in the center of the auditorium with a happy smile on her lips.
The mask was laughing and Hanabi was crying.
The mask is angry and Hanabi is crying.
The mask is sad and the fireworks are crying.
She danced gracefully, putting the final period to the story of the fraudster. From now on, it was An Ming's story.
There will be no more fraudsters in the world.
At the finale of the stage, Hanabi slowly bowed to take her final bow.
In a trance, she seemed to see An Ming sitting there, looking at her with a smile, as if saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
She no longer needs to be a "firework". From now on, she is also qualified to write her own story.
Then one day, I met An Ming again in the universe.
Hanabi removed her makeup and left Edo Planet alone. Just before she boarded the spaceship, she saw Sakura appear on the side with a long sword on her back, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"you are leaving?"
"Well, I heard there's a planet with some really powerful swords," Sakura nodded slightly, "and I heard it's called Zuyun."
"Good luck to you."
"You too, Fool."
The world is vast, and there are countless miracles happening.
As long as we keep moving forward along the road, we will surely meet again.
