I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 434 Dead End
The golden figure sat on the edge of the stone, hugging his legs, still staring at the small puddle.

Its eyes seemed never to leave the puddle.

It also ignored the conversation between Mo Ling and the elf. It was unclear whether it was listening or just not caring.

After Mo Ling finished talking to the elf, it made the flat sound again.

"The simulation is over. You made a good choice."

"Me?" the elf asked blankly.

"Yes, it's better than my choice." The god praised unabashedly, "You are more suitable to be a god than me. I will pass my body to you."

"Thank you for the compliment. Wait... body?" the elf said in surprise.

"Yes, this sea is yours."

God pointed to the puddle below and said these shocking words in a very calm tone.

"Why?" The elf was very confused.

"Because you are more suitable than me." God repeated his previous words.

"You'll make this world a more beautiful place."

The elf obviously hadn't reacted yet. After thinking for a moment, he immediately refused and said, "No, you don't have to give it to me. I don't want to be a god, and I don't want this sea."

Hearing the elf's refusal, the god remained silent and did not speak for a long time.

It kept staring at the puddle, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Mo Ling and the elf looked at each other, the two square heads looked at each other, they both felt the other's worry at the moment.

Will rejecting God's request lead to any terrible consequences?

Mo Ling immediately became nervous, and the elf silently moved away from the god on the edge of the stone.

After a long time, God finally broke the silence.

"Why? Don't you want to be a god?"

It was not angry at all and still asked the elf calmly.

The elf did not answer immediately, but thought about the wording for a long time before explaining to God: "I want to, but I have more important things to do."

"What is more important than being a god?"

"I want to find my own wish..."

The elf answered very firmly: "Whether as a god or as a wish-granting relic, I am always fulfilling other people's wishes. Of course, I also enjoy the process of fulfilling other people's wishes, which makes me very happy."

"But I want to know my own wishes more. Or, I want to know the feeling of having a wish. I always feel that there is something missing in my heart. If I can find that feeling, I can fill this gap..."

The elf's goal has never changed. After leaving Oasis City, it traveled in the third layer of the Abyss for a long time, including coming to the Sea of ​​Creation, all just to find a wish.

"I wanted to ask my fellow tribesmen here what their wishes were, but they ignored me."

“I won’t stop until I find my own desire.”

The elf said firmly, leaving no room for doubt.

After hearing what the elf said, God fell silent again.

The atmosphere became depressing again.

At this time, Mo Ling asked in confusion: "Why don't you continue to be a god?"

"Although your choice was wrong, isn't it on the right track now? The Sea of ​​Creation is running smoothly, and your wish can be fulfilled. Isn't this great?"

"No, this is not the right path." The elf said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"This is a dead end. Although this method is working well at present, it will eventually collapse, or spread." The elf explained seriously. "Spread?" Mo Ling became more and more confused.

"Yes, the entire Sea of ​​Creation will spread and become a mirror that devours living things, and it will spread faster and faster..."

As the elf explained, Mo Ling slowly understood everything.

It turns out that this is related to the characteristics of the wishing race.

Although the wish-granting race consumes energy when helping other creatures realize their wishes, it can increase the energy limit.

In other words, fulfilling wishes can make them stronger.

Every time they use up their energy after making a wish, when it recovers, they will have a little more energy than before.

When the elf first arrived at Oasis City, it did not have much energy. It was only through constant wishing that its energy became more and more, and it was able to realize the entire Oasis City rescue plan.

And the same is true for gods, as a race that makes wishes.

Its energy is still increasing.

At the same time, because it forcibly bound the golden light to the area of ​​the Sea of ​​Creation, it caused changes in the sea water here.

The sea water became more and more viscous, even turning into a mirror.

These seawaters are also terribly active and inclusive, and some areas will even devour passing creatures and assimilate them.

The scope of the Sea of ​​Creation has reached the limit of energy compression, so as the energy increases, God can only expand the scope of the Sea of ​​Creation.

"Therefore, the Sea of ​​Creation will continue to spread and its activity will become stronger and stronger." The elf explained.

"In order to prevent the Sea of ​​Creation from spreading further, God can only allow those machines to realize their wishes. However, as those machines realize their wishes, their energy is also increasing. One day, they will surely gain wisdom and escape God's control."

"At that time, it will have to take back these fragments that have escaped control, but this will cause the energy of the main body to surge."

"This is a dead end..." Mo Ling said in a daze.

"Yes, as long as the wishes continue, it will be an endless loop." said the elf seriously.

"Not only that, after the Sea of ​​Creation is formed, there will be no other path to choose. Once God releases the energy constraints, the Sea of ​​Creation will cover the entire ocean in an instant. At that time, all living things will suffer a catastrophic disaster."

"So, it can only watch the Sea of ​​Creation continue to expand..."

Having said that, the elf stopped talking.

The god hugged his legs, sat on the edge of the stone, looked at the puddle, and said nothing.

Mo Ling then understood why God had been simulating various options all the time. It was actually just trying to find a way to escape this dead end.

"But even if it gives you the authority, you can't solve these problems. The path has been formed and the choice cannot be changed."

Mo Ling still didn't understand why God would leave this mess to the elf.

Could it be that the elves have a solution?
Mo Ling looked at the elf, and the two square heads looked at each other again.

"Actually, this deadlock is easy to break." The elf said calmly, "As long as the energy stops increasing, it will be fine."

Listening to the elf's words, Moring suddenly understood:

"Just don't fulfill the wish, right?"

"Yes." The elf nodded.

The two of them looked at the god sitting on the edge of the stone in tacit understanding.

It remained motionless, looking at the puddle.

Feeling the inquiring gazes of the two, God finally spoke:

"I can not do it."
