Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 1484 - 133: "If You Keep Me in Your Dreams.
How should an excellent script be composed?
First, the worldview.
Laying the tone for a world, is it a No Magic World or a Magic World? If it’s the latter, what level of force is set, and to what extent can one person’s power achieve? A single army, a city, a world, or ascend to the universe?
Second, the protagonist.
Establish the protagonist’s goals, divided into short-term goals, mid-term goals, and long-term goals. This advances the script’s direction.
What satisfying points and Evolution System exist in the protagonist’s short-term goals? What core conflicts and era characteristics do the protagonist’s mid-term goals involve? What kind of sublimation and hidden world secrets are related to the protagonist’s long-term goals? What actions can the protagonist take to achieve these goals? Will it be smooth sailing or full of hardships, gaining public attention, or content with solitude?
This leads to the introduction of companions supporting the protagonist’s goals and enemies opposing them. The protagonist’s level will determine these people’s levels.
Third, the tone.
Drama, comedy, tragedy.
Fourth, conflict points and core relationships.
During the script’s progression, what kind of conflict points will arise from the core relationships established by the protagonist clashing with their long-term goals? If the anticipated climax point only exists in a fragment, it gradually connects through long-term core relationships.
Fifth, rhythm.
Opening → Understanding the background → Paving characters → Conflict occurs → Resolve conflict or prolong conflict → Plant hidden dangers → Insert daily life or emotional line → Minor climax → Sudden and significant plot twist → Retrieve hidden dangers or hints → Lowest point → Dawn arrives → Major climax → Reverse resolutions → Characters gather or die in large numbers → Closing puzzle-solving → Conclusion
If the story is long enough, insert a "paving — minor climax — paving — minor climax" cycle. It could be character highlights or unveiling secrets.
Sixth, key figures.
In a script, there are both companions assisting the protagonist and enemies opposing them.
Companions are divided into four types: high cohesion and high freedom, high cohesion but low freedom, low cohesion but high freedom, low cohesion and low freedom.
Enemies come in various types, measured by activeness and hostility. For example, someone who defected to the enemy but intends to help the protagonist, has high activeness but low hostility. Another example is a traitor beside the protagonist, having high activeness and high hostility.
A comprehensive script contains all types of characters and can add more detailed measurement elements.
Among them, the most important is the existence of the orchestrator behind the scenes.
In a normal story, the protagonist will face an orchestrator standing in the end. This person may not have high hostility or activeness but becomes the ultimate enemy in the process of achieving the protagonist’s goals for various reasons; perhaps only due to simple strong power, perhaps just wanting to establish a new order world, without ever intending to clash with the protagonist.
This depends on the second point—the level of the protagonist’s long-term goal determines the orchestrator’s level.
The orchestrator can be a person, a mechanism, or even a kind of era tragedy or social order.
However, more in line with public taste and the taste of the World Tree, the orchestrator is best human. Otherwise, where should the anger accumulated from the public’s continuous Observation go? How can the protagonist eliminate an era tragedy? It’s more direct and satisfying to eliminate a person.
An adventure story, if the orchestrator never appears, not knowing who is causing trouble until the end, is most likely not a good story.
In my Observation within the Space-time Record Body, I cannot endure the orchestrator’s Invisibility.
The orchestrator must appear.
Especially, Luowasha is one of my favorite and the most comprehensive Space-time Record Body. I won’t tolerate such a flaw.
So, even knowing the danger, I will definitely...
Appear.
——Supreme Lord Tosolius "How to Compose an Excellent Script"
...
"We must go back to the past and reveal the orchestrator behind the Disciple Game—Supreme Lord." Su Liujin, with one hand on his waist, spoke these words: "I want to see Him with my own eyes and know who He really is."
Amidst the crashing waves, there was a smile on his lips, exuding an air of confidence.
Su Ming’an, hearing this, asked in surprise, "Can you travel through time and space?"
Su Liujin had a momentary look of embarrassment on his face and shook his head, "No. We are not going to rewrite history but to the memories."
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to continue to explain but seemed to have forgotten the words, quickly picking up the mask of the Shitposter Demon in his hand, reading the words engraved on it like an elementary school student reading a book:
"In the first Disciple Game, I became the champion and must have seen the orchestrator Supreme Lord, but after the Disciple Game ended, I was erased from memory by the Supreme Lord and couldn’t remember His image."
"At that time, I barely knew the image of the Supreme Lord and would definitely not sit idly by and wait to be erased from memory. I must have left a backup hand and hid the image of the Supreme Lord in the first Disciple Game, perhaps in some corner of the game."
"Once the current Savior—which is you—triggers the death mechanism of the Disciple Game, my backup hand can be triggered, allowing me to return to the past images with you and find the image of the Supreme Lord I buried back then."
Su Liujin opened the redwood box in his hand, inside which lay a glass-like photograph: "This is the film I left using Xiao Bai’s Time authority back then, which can help you and me enter the images of the past."
Su Liujin finished reading such a long passage, his golden pupil looked at Su Ming’an with a slightly nervous gaze, as if afraid that Su Ming’an did not understand.
Su Ming’an already understood. It’s very simple, just returning to the images to find something. Su Liujin said so much, fearing that Su Ming’an was a foolish university student.
"The Darkness Forest Law," Su Ming’an said, "If we grasp the Supreme Lord’s image and aura, spreading it throughout the universe. It’s like lighting a torch walking in The Dark Forest; the Supreme Lord becomes a light source in the darkness, constantly having to guard against the peeping and attacks from other High Dimensions."
Every word said will be known.
Like Dieying, who controls the "Causality" authority in High Dimensions, as long as they know the image and aura of the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Lord will be integrated into Dieying’s causality web. Although finding the Supreme Lord will still take Dieying a long time and effort, with a high probability of still not finding it, there is no reasoning for guarding against a thief for a thousand days.
So, this is the reason the Organizers didn’t want to expose their images during the meeting, all covered by Black Mist. It was only later, when a fight broke out, that their aura was exposed, revealing their images. Some High Dimensions intentionally exposed themselves for a fight, but the Supreme Lord, this secretive observer, was not among them.
Su Liujin displayed a proud smile, like a child who achieved excellent results: "Once found, we can trade with the Supreme Lord. If He doesn’t want us to expose His image, then He should protect Luowasha."
Su Ming’an thought of a question and asked in puzzlement, "What if the Supreme Lord anticipated your thoughts and deliberately didn’t show up in the first Disciple Game?"
Su Liujin laughed, "Any High Dimension might not show up, but only the Supreme Lord can’t possibly remain unseen throughout."
Su Ming’an asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Su Liujin closed the box, coughed twice, acted like a small teacher, pretended to be serious, and said, "In a script, it’s absolutely unforgivable if the orchestrator never appears all the way. The Supreme Lord, being a chaser, would not tolerate watching such a Space-time Record Body."
"Since He is watching and chasing updates, as the orchestrator BOSS, He is bound to appear before the champion. Even if He knows there’s a risk, He will definitely show up."
"Old An, you probably noticed earlier that each High Dimension has its path, like the path of Dream, path of Salvation, path of Gluttony, and path of Slaughter. But the Supreme Lord should follow the path of Chasing Updates... Uh, I don’t know how to decorate it with grand words, but ’chasing updates’ is a straightforward term!"
"In other words, it needs to pursue high-quality space-time record bodies to maintain its existence, which has become its fundamental desire and habit. All its actions will subconsciously follow this path. This is both an entropy reduction tool and its path."
Su Ming’an thought of many things.
Yuanyuan, the Spiritual Dream-Maker, follows the path of dreams, always crafting dreamscapes.
The Sixth Thrones Little Greedy Cat follows the path of gluttony, unable to restrain its desire to devour, biting into anything it sees.
Obsession is the reason for the existence of high-dimensional beings, and it is also the way high dimensions preserve their humanity.
From this perspective, the Second Thrones Sique and the Supreme Lord are quite a match. One writes, the other observes.
"Red Dust." Su Ming’an gave a more fitting name. At the same time, he wondered, what kind of name is "Old An"? Is he much older than Su Liujin?
The time spent sleeping doesn’t count as age; nineteen is indeed a bit older than sixteen...
"Yes... Yes, yes, what Red Dust Path should be observing various stories, savoring the red dust." Su Liujin also found it appropriate.
Su Ming’an sorted through Su Liujin’s experiences:
Actively participated in the first Disciple Game → Discovered the image of the Supreme Lord → After winning the championship, hid the image of the Supreme Lord in the video of the first Disciple Game → Had his memory erased by the Supreme Lord → Years later, the current Savior, Su Ming’an, acquired the ability of the War God Dragon King Narration, returned to the first Disciple Game, found the image and aura of the Supreme Lord, and returned to the present to negotiate with the Supreme Lord.
Calculating the future from the past.
They will not change history; what they change is the present.
Winning the championship as a mere jellyfish, Su Liujin was by no means simple.
This Su Liujin, who lost his memory, is much more innocent. If Su Ming’an lost his life-and-death experiences in the World Game, he would probably be just as naive.
Su Ming’an remembered that he had seen the Supreme Lord; at that time, the Supreme Lord transformed into a goat and must have left some aura, but he did not deliberately retain it.
The Supreme Lord is truly fanatical about continuations, willing to do anything for perfection. Having even read "Luowasha," such a person would succeed in anything.
"Did Kasadia write these messages on the mask for you?" Su Ming’an glanced at the Shitposter Demon mask in Su Liujin’s hand, and Su Liujin had been reading from it.
"Yes." Su Liujin scratched his head: "But it never appeared again, do you know where it went?"
Su Ming’an coughed lightly, unsure if Kasadia died due to the rules: "It couldn’t have told you these things for no reason; it’s probably years ago that Sique instructed it. Afterward, I didn’t know where it was."
However, if the Shitposter Demon just died like that, it would indeed be quite in line with its pursuit. Very fitting for its path.
"Let’s go." Su Liujin picked up the box and reached out: "I no longer have Strength, nor do I have memory. I cannot return as an entity, so I will attach to your ability—the War God Dragon King Narration."
... Accompanying Old Grandfather Su Liujin?
Su Ming’an held Su Liujin’s hand; the next moment, Su Liujin transformed into a white light and flowed into Su Ming’an’s body.
He could finally fight alongside the original owner in the truest sense.
...
[Hmph hmph hmph! The Jellyfish Emperor is here!]
[Tiny Supreme Lord, laughable, laughable!]
[Let us work together and take it down! Hassake!] 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
...
When Su Liujin is in human form, he appears quite proper. Once Su Liujin doesn’t appear human, his speaking style instantly becomes imperial.
Su Ming’an remembered a batch of netizens who were the same way; timid offline, but their online statements were extremely open and shocking, truly revealing their nature.
"So, Emperor, shall we set out?" Su Ming’an picked up the Redwood Box, opened it, and looked at the glass fragments inside it.
...
[Wait!]
...
[Though the Emperor is full of passion, I don’t want to deceive you, Old An. The truth is, even if we caught the Supreme Lord’s weakness, the Emperor cannot guarantee it would help us protect Luowasha. ]
[The safest method remains for you to steadily lead the small world out of the World Game. The Emperor vaguely knows the outside situation; even if Eden’s control was taken by Noel, you have already gained Wu Yi’s favor, and it’s very likely that you can have both the Fifth Thrones and Ninth Thrones assist you. The little golden hair is only fit to pick strawberries behind you.]
[Hmm... The Emperor has selfish reasons too. The Emperor, though extremely knowledgeable, still wants to know what exactly happened during the first Disciple Game, why seeing the sea brings heartache, and the past of the golden-haired youth who woke the Emperor using the array. That’s why the Emperor wants you to go back together.]
[But everything we do is to make this world better. As long as this world is saved, neither the Emperor nor the Emperor’s subordinates will have complaints. The Emperor knows this deep down.]
[You just need to choose the path you think has the highest chance of success.]
[If you don’t want to explore further, turn around, and you can leave this sea.]
[Going forward might reveal the full appearance and final story of Luowasha, perhaps improving your future prospects. Going backward is more stable.]
[The Emperor won’t deceive you, won’t use your status as the Savior to pompously guide your choices.]
...
Su Ming’an stood for a moment.
Su Liujin is the most sincere original owner he’s ever met. Unlike some people, he doesn’t guide him to ascend to Yun Shang City to succeed, nor does he chase him down the shore after turning dark.
There is no distinction between good and bad here; it’s all for the world. But at this moment, openness and sincerity, in a world full of liars and riddlers, bring a subtle warmth to the heart.
He gazed at the Redwood Box, his fingers slightly moving—
...
[About to enter the observation bifurcation point.]
[If the Observer does not wish to settle on this development direction’s "Narrative Anchor Point," please stop observing and wait for a new branch’s "Memory Clip" to generate.]
[Observation settles the decision, please observe with caution.]
