Chapter 313: with translation of chapter title

World Will – description, not a proper name.

1. This planet must have magic power, spiritual qi, true qi and other supernatural energies, and the density must be sufficient to allow the existence and maintenance of supernatural life.

2. This planet must give birth to intelligent life and develop civilization, or rather the very meaning of the world will's existence is to ensure the basic survival of planetary civilization, because the two can be said to share fate.

If planetary civilization perishes, the world will becomes weak; if planetary civilization prospers, the world will becomes strong; if the worst case occurs, the entire planetary surface is completely destroyed, completely losing the possibility of bearing life, and the world will thus falls.

Of course, if it is the finest scenario, planetary civilization transcends its mother planet's cradle, even reversely occupying other life-bearing planets, and the world will gradually grow into a regional cosmic will, even securing the ultimate victory in this interstellar chicken-eating grand prix, replacing the great cosmic will, and reaching the pinnacle as the sole ultimate.

World Will – generic.

Little Boss – nickname for Yangyue.

【According to my detection, there is no supernatural phenomenon on Earth at all; even if there were, what it nurtures is purely a technological civilization, which absolutely would not allow another voice to dominate over the mind—how could a world will possibly be born?】

Ji Ming is a proper name; Aurora Dance is a proper name for a friend; Friend List is generic.

!!! - not.

Little Boss – nickname.

Phantom Limb Pain – medical term, not a name.

【You mean that those one thousand players, after passing through a virtual otherworld crossing disguised as a game, learn various magical and even xianxia supernatural civilization specialties, then return to Earth, while the bodies left here, under the brain's deception, mistakenly believe they truly possess such abilities, changing their outward signals from those of a technological civilization life to those of a magical civilization life?】

??? - not.

Has clever intelligence seized the high ground?

Is this a logical deduction that Little Boss can blurt out in one breath?

Yes, and taking the inference further, these over one thousand already decently strong 'magical civilization lifeforms' deceived the world's laws, making them mistakenly believe that beyond technological civilization Earth had also given birth to a supernatural civilization, thus giving rise to the World Will!

As a 'bug‑cultivator immortal' who has wits‑and‑courage battles with the world's laws for tens of thousands of years under many saviors, Yangyue examined this whole line of logic and found that, although it sounds absurd, it actually makes sense to the emotionless, rule‑bound world laws.

But this hypothesis doesn't solve the most crucial problem—there is no supernatural energy on Earth, so even if the World Will had a reason to appear, it couldn't be sustained, let alone after angrily electrocuting a rebellious son and then sitting down to negotiate.

【……】 - not.

You surely know the reason by now, hurry up and say it!

「……」 - not.

"Little Boss, although this is Earth, you're also an electronic ghost parasitizing countless servers—can't you just use your own CPU to do some research?"

【……】 - not.

"Then why don't I go ask the Earth adult?"

Ji Ming: blood pressure spiking.

"Haven't you noticed the doubtful point? To satisfy the premises of many saviors' plans, in Yangyue's world you can hide from the World Will and alter the rules, you can hide from world fate and interfere with the course of events; besides mere talk, you have many more means at your disposal—even physical eradication isn't impossible—but what about this Earth Will before us?"

【……】 - not.

"You hide in the high‑dimensional world, posing as a grandchild on the Internet because here you really are a grandchild—don't even talk about interfering with reality; if you're not careful and see something you shouldn't, you might even blow your SAN and drop dead on the spot, so you can only act through the network as a carrier—but what about it?"

【……】 - not.

"This is its home turf! Yet it wants to punish my foul‑mouthed disrespect, but all it can do is rely on a laughable mouse‑leak; when it wants to sit down and talk cooperation, it can only use an ordinary Internet video link—so far the Earth Will's abilities seem about on par with yours, right?"

"Oh~~~ wait, I still don't get it……"

Seeing Yangyue's foolish will still clicking away, Ji Ming had no choice but to reveal the answer.

"Yangyue! It's something with no threshold—once you have it, you can let anyone contact any intelligent life on the whole planet via an information network; it's a natural phenomenon that technology has tamed, can be produced in almost any way, and can drive almost any creation with great power—its very existence might itself be supernatural!? This is the final piece that lets the Earth Will come into being, and the only place it can exist."

Yangyue listened without speaking, and after Ji Ming cautiously told this theory to the Earth Daughter, the anime girl on the screen also remained silent for a long time.

As a newly born World Will, the pure‑as‑white‑paper Little Earth obviously cannot accept such a bizarre and laughable theory—yet reality mercilessly proves it true.

"I…… could it really be that I was born for such a bizarre and laughable reason? A grand World Will, reduced to merely an electronic ghost?"

"Is this your first time, kid? The World Law is such a foolish fellow—although rules are constantly updated with the environment, as long as something complies with the current theory, it will faithfully carry it out to the end."

As a veteran, Yangyue, while feeling sentimental, lit a cyber‑cigarette on his own little page, but Ji Ming promptly closed the window on the grounds of "no smoking in front of underage wills."

"Don't worry; as the game progresses steadily, more and more people will come to see themselves as magical‑civilization lifeforms, and you will surely find your own purpose."

After offering a high‑EQ comfort, Ji Ming quickly steered the conversation back to the important issue that even the Little Earth seemed to have stopped caring about.

"So, what's the deal with you saying you wanted to die earlier?"

The Earth Daughter, now turned ash‑white, lifted her head with a bewildered expression.

"No, you really did forget what you said you'd forget, didn't you?"

"Ah, what? Oh, this thing…"

The Earth Will, controlling its own skin suit, stepped back a few steps, pulled out a blackboard from behind, and on it drew a detailed world map divided by countries, accompanied by a series of numbers and descriptions.

Ji Ming glanced at it and saw that there wasn't much—just the current storage locations and accurate counts of the world's nuclear warheads, though the exact numbers differed slightly from the official reports.

In short, the actual stockpile is 30 % larger than claimed, and the real storage number is even double what outsiders have guessed.

"Mom, is this really true?"

"Of course it's true—I just pulled the confidential data from various military bases and made the chart right then."

Now it was Ji Ming's turn to fall silent—leaving aside the "Fourth Heavenly Disaster Plan," which would need a huge peacetime population with spending power on Earth as support, even if he had become a god‑king in a low‑dimensional universe, climbing to a high‑dimensional realm would still make him just an ordinary human, truly unable to withstand a nuclear blast with his flesh.

Thus the Earth's concerns are obvious: as a cyber‑version of the World Will born on the Internet, it instantly became aware of humanity's interpersonal and civilizational conflicts, as well as the development plans and stockpiles of all kinds of terrifying weapons.

If it were Ultron, it would choose to trigger the apocalypse line, wiping out these humans before they turned Earth into a lifeless dead star; but the Earth Will, tightly bound to this civilization, cannot do that—its birth comes from game players, its sustenance from electric technology, so once the primordial Earth civilization vanishes, losing all reason to exist, the Earth Will would also fade away.

Of course, there's an even more frightening possibility: the rigid World Law might classify the lightning in Earth's atmosphere during barren periods as supernatural energy...

So when the Earth Will grimly concluded that the primordial civilization likely died in civil war, it was like a child who had just learned to understand speech and then learned it had a terminal illness; after a brief observation of this troublemaking pair for a month, it hurriedly sent out a cooperation invitation at this very moment.

But...

What's most needed to solve the problem is a suitable method; having endured over a hundred failures, Yangyue is especially experienced in this, instantly spotted the issue here, and popped up the dialogue box again.

"First, Earth adult, I feel this pain deeply, but although Ji Ming is hailed as a great savior on Yangyue Star, on Earth he's just an ordinary person—no matter how much he pours his life into struggle, even if his fortune defies heaven, even at the peak of what he can achieve, he can't stop the great powers' civil war, right? In technological civilization, an individual's power is too tiny."

The Earth Daughter naturally knows this, and calmly shakes her head.

"Prejudice between people is a mountain; trying to solve the problem by offsetting is obviously impossible; the enemy will only increase the more we eliminate them, and contradictions will only deepen as they clash, so I choose another method, and this method coincides with your plan."

Coincidence?

Yangyue thought independently for a moment, then tentatively asked.

Um… you don't actually expect all you Earthlings to go to our Yangyue World to play games, do you?

Then it was dumbfounded, because Earth Mother actually stuck out an index finger, her eyes flashing.

Right!

Hold on.

Now even Ji Ming, the teacher whose group of watching children were discussing, couldn't bear to watch any longer and rushed to intervene.

My god, this is not the way to go. Even the most extreme counter‑measures involve some action; trying to evade will only make things worse! Do you want the entire Earth civilization to fall into virtual bliss from now on, become the biggest internet café in the universe, lose any chance of progress and degenerate into a livestock civilization?

Ah, why would you think that?

A huge question mark floated above Earth Mother's head.

Do you guys have no idea what Double Moon Struggle has caused on Earth, or what the players have done in reality?

Several influential and trending news sites appeared in Yangyue's chat window.

Isn't it just that countries worldwide and various capitalists want to rush into the Yangyue World to open new tracks and start fresh competition?

Ji Ming nodded as well.

Yeah, the massive support brings economic benefits that let many players and related industry folks achieve financial freedom, but that doesn't really change Earth civilization as a whole, does it?

But what appeared on Earth Mother's page was a red X.

Wrong! You all have been blinded by this chaotic internet, and you have no idea what you actually did.

As it spoke, it flipped the blackboard, revealing on the other side a huge pile of tables and photos showing several players' actions and deeds in the real world.

Look, these are what Double Moon Struggle truly brought to Earth!

Player Qiu Yi, whose ID is "Just Want to Die," after the closed beta began used his personal time to set up a free help hotline, using his own experiences to encourage those miserable people who were desperate enough to try to end it all to pull themselves together, and to offer whatever help he could; so far he has prevented as many as thirty‑two suicides, rescuing people almost every day.

Player Zhao Jun, whose ID is "Gun Soldier Unarmed," while teaching various players and NPCs gun techniques in the game, also leveraged his social influence in reality, teaming up with his senior brother to run a free youth martial‑arts class. The sessions are brief but focus on practical, effective anti‑enemy tactics; so far his students have stopped as many as thirty‑two malicious violent incidents from school to society.

Player Tinian Rain, whose ID is "Squirrel Sandy," using the gun skills and reflexes honed in the game, shot a gunman dead before he could draw his AR‑15, thwarting a murderous sect's attack on innocent shoppers.

Business managers in reality such as Fan Taozhu, Howard, and Fu Le also learned lessons from the game and carried out a new round of inspections and clean‑ups of their own companies. Though some corruption remains, they did manage to purge a lot of filth, allowing many diligent employees to profit from this reform; the practice has already begun to spread in the industry as an advanced example.

These star players are his precious SSRs, so Ji Ming naturally pays them more attention and probably knows about these deeds, but he didn't expect that, when truly counted, they had done so much.

Yet just as he was silently reflecting, Earth Mother shook her head and smiled.

What, do you think the players have already done enough? Let me tell you, these are only the tip of the iceberg; the real heroes are the ordinary players who remain anonymous in the game, because they have even more to do in the real world!
