Li Xiangling was slightly stunned. “Me…?”

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. “You may not know… when I was at ‘Heaven’s Mouth,’ I was always invisible… This kind of key decision will affect the direction of our team. I’d better not participate…”

“It’s not that serious.” Zhang Chenze smiled and shook her head. “Xiangling, you just need to express your own views. This isn’t any kind of ‘vote,’ and it won’t necessarily affect the direction of all of us.”

“I…” Li Xiangling thought for a while, but ultimately still shook her head. “Sisters, in any case, I want to leave this place. I want to get out. The reason I joined ‘Heaven’s Mouth’ was also to be able to escape the ‘Land of the End,’ but I also know my abilities are limited and I can only rely on my teammates. So I will choose to trust you all. Whatever decision you ultimately make, I will stand together with you.”

Although Li Xiangling didn’t completely make her own choice, she had already made her attitude clear.

Now all eyes focused on Tiantian.

Tiantian had been wearing Yun Yao’s coat the whole time. Her slightly curled long hair lazily draped over her shoulders. Her entire being blinked a pair of large eyes, sitting in the corner like a doll that couldn’t move or speak, listening to everyone talk.

Seeing everyone’s gazes gather on her, Tiantian was puzzled at first, then immediately revealed a smile and said, “I don’t really care…”

“How can you not care?” Yun Yao moved her chair toward Tiantian’s direction and reached out to hold her somewhat cold palm. “Now we’re together. We want to seek your thoughts. Next, we’ll act together as a team.”

Tiantian silently lowered her head, thought carefully for a while, and said, “I… really don’t care. What this place becomes, for me, is actually all the same. After all, I…”

She hesitated for a long time before not saying the few words on her lips—she didn’t want to go out.

No matter what this place became, for her it was a matter of indifference. Her life had ended a long time ago. Every second she lived now, though it couldn’t be called torture, could be considered merely surviving.

At this moment, looking at the sincere gazes of the several girls, Tiantian was somewhat at a loss for words. They had gathered together for nothing more than to discuss a strategy, but now the three had different ideas and couldn’t get the desired result at all.

It was like four people voting—the other three had different options, and the final choice fell into her hands.

“We’ve known each other for a while now…” Yun Yao gently said, holding Tiantian’s hand. “I’ve never known your true thoughts, so for you… what kind of way do you want to live in the coming days?”

Tiantian was silent for a while, then slowly said, “Everything is fine…”

She shook her head expressionlessly. “My life lost all motivation to move forward a long time ago. My experiences in the real world were even worse than the ‘Land of the End’… Here, someone actually truly cares about me, feels sorry for me… So if I say my true thoughts, I’m afraid you’ll find it very difficult to understand…”

These emotionless words slowly came from Tiantian’s mouth, yet made everyone’s heart ache.

“I completely understand.” Zhang Chenze nodded very seriously. “People are born different. Some people can’t obtain happiness even after trying their whole lives, but this doesn’t hinder our steps in pursuing happiness.”

“I don’t quite understand…” Tiantian lowered her head and rubbed her palms, asking in a low voice, “Can so-called ‘happiness’ be obtained just by ‘pursuing’ it? You said everyone is born different… Could it be that some people are born unable to pursue happiness?”

“This…” Hearing this question, Zhang Chenze’s gaze also dimmed somewhat in an instant. “I can’t say about this question… I only know that in order to pursue the life I want, I’m willing to fall into hell. As long as I can climb back out of hell one day, my efforts won’t have been in vain.”

“Climbing out of hell…” The corners of Tiantian’s eyes trembled slightly, and her lips curved into a desperate arc. She forcefully squeezed out a smile. “Lawyer Zhang… do you know how difficult the path you just described is…? Even if we can truly climb out of hell, what awaits us… is still the same world.”

Zhang Chenze had wanted to persuade Tiantian from her own perspective, but unexpectedly, after just a few short sentences, she was almost persuaded by Tiantian instead.

Yes, even if she could truly climb out of here… would the original world have any changes?

“I’m sorry.” Tiantian keenly captured the unusual expression on Zhang Chenze’s face and had already opened her mouth to apologize before anyone could speak. “I actually don’t want to bring negative emotions to everyone. What I said is just my own thoughts…”

“I understand.” Zhang Chenze also came back to her senses and nodded. “No one will blame you because of the suffering you’ve endured.”

After hearing this, Tiantian looked around at the several people in front of her again and said, “If I have to choose, I hope to create a ‘Wen Qiaoyun.'”

Hearing her words, everyone focused their gazes again.

“Tiantian, you…” Yun Yao looked at her with furrowed brows. “You support my approach?”

She was naturally somewhat puzzled in her heart. According to Tiantian’s personality, this time she should have chosen to abstain like Li Xiangling. After all, in this hellish place, who becomes a god, who can escape—for her, these were all matters of indifference. Yet she had very clearly stated her own thoughts.

“I want to know, is my choice really that important? If I choose this path, will we work together toward this direction?” Tiantian asked again.

Zhang Chenze nodded after hearing this. “From a fair perspective… if this path has the most supporters, I can accept it. The minority obeys the majority.”

Li Xiangling also chimed in from the side. “I already said I would support all your ideas, so I have no objections.”

“Even if we die or fail, it doesn’t matter?” Tiantian confirmed again.

“That’s right.” Zhang Chenze and Li Xiangling nodded. Only Lin Qin watched everyone silently from the side.

“Then good.” Tiantian nodded seriously, then turned to Yun Yao and said, “Yun Yao, because you’ve been very good to me, I will unconditionally support your choice. No one in this world has ever been this good to me, so what you want to do is what I want to do. This is also the only way I can repay you.”

Hearing this, Lin Qin sighed deeply.

To use Qi Xia’s ability and make him do something he didn’t want to do.

Would the difficulty of this matter be easier than participating in an Earth-level game?
