The mist surged in the maze, and Ren Jie stood in front of a golden gate, staring blankly at the gate, motionless.

Behind him is a bumpy and winding corridor, which is also the way he came. There is no fog over there, and Ren Jie has already walked through it.

The light and shadow were flowing under his feet, but Ren Jie did not lower his head to take a look, he just stared blankly at the gate...

His eyes were full of exhaustion, and the high-spirited look disappeared, leaving him on the way back.

Ren Jie seems to have exhausted all his energy, just like an old tree that has bloomed, bears fruit, and is about to die...

This...should not be the look of young people.

Ren Jie knows very well that the door in front of him is the road to the future. As long as he steps through it, he can escape from the maze and return to reality...

That road was finally found by Ren Jie.

And this... is not the first time Ren Jie has seen this golden door and found the exit.

There is only one step left, as long as he takes that last step, everything will be over.

But Ren Jie shook his head and looked back blankly. He didn't even look at the exit, but walked unsteadily towards the starting point like a zombie...

"No...this is not the ending I want, let alone the life I want..."

"I would rather not go to such a future."

"There must be...there must be other ways? I haven't tried all the possibilities."

"You only have one chance, you can't...take it wrong..."

This is not the first time Ren Jie has turned back. When Ren Jie looked back, the maze changed crazily.

Those choices that have already been decided are withdrawn.

Ren Jie returned to the starting point and walked forward again...

He has lost count of how many times he has been reincarnated...

But that perfect future has never been found.

But...Ren Jie refused to give up.

After going around and around, when Ren Jie stood in front of the golden door again, his hair was messy and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.

His will almost collapsed, and he knelt on the ground helplessly, holding his head, his face full of pain.

Countless choices and different experiences flowed through his mind like movie reels, almost tearing Ren Jie's heart into pieces.

"Why... there is no ending I want!"

"Where did I make the wrong choice? What use do I need from him in a future like this!"

"No! I..."

Ren Jie gritted his teeth and stood up again to walk back. But when he took a step, the scene in front of him changed and the situation changed.

The maze no longer existed, and the sunlight on Mirror Lake made it hard for Ren Jie to open his eyes.

And the figure with a pair of blue eyes stood in front of Ren Jie, his eyes full of calm.

"That exit, that road to the future, you found a total of 174,862 times..."

"Not everyone...can lead the entire era into the future, but you...will succeed almost every time!"

"But you...why just refuse to take that last step?"

However, at this moment, Ren Jie seemed to be going crazy and grabbed the blue shadow's neck.

"It's not over, it's not over yet. These are not the only solutions. There must be others that I haven't discovered yet!"

"Let me go back, give me another chance, please, I..."

But the blue shadow's eyes were full of distress, and he hugged Ren Jie into his arms...

"Children...life...doesn't have to be perfect."

However, Ren Jie broke away from the embrace of Azure Shadow, like a wounded beast, and roared hysterically at Azure Shadow:

"no I do not!"

"You only have one life, why shouldn't I pursue perfection?"

"This is my life! Mine!"

Ren Jie pointed to his heart tremblingly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

Countless reincarnations and billions of possibilities, only Ren Jie knows what he has experienced.

Others don't need to understand, they just need a good and acceptable future, that's all.

The eyes of Azure Shadow are full of complexity:

"But you have to win..."

Ren Jie gritted his teeth: "I don't have to win, I can have other choices, the survival of the bullshit human race is none of my business, Ren Jie!"

"Why me!"

Azure Shadow shook his head and said: "If you don't win... there will be no future..."

Ren Jie was silent, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and lay back on the mirror lake, looking at the clear blue sky with dull eyes.

The Blue Shadow was also silent and didn't say anything. He just accompanied Ren Jie, sat down cross-legged, and stayed by Ren Jie's side...

For a long time…

Ren Jie finally spoke:

"Is everything in the maze real?"

"Yes... and no, those... are just exhaustive deductions I made based on the past and everything currently available."

"The real future is still in the fog, and those who peek will be punished... No one wants to see what they don't want to see and watch it become a reality..."

While Ren Jie breathed a sigh of relief, a wry smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand to cover his face and remained silent...

Having said that, but... there are really all possibilities in the maze. The blue shadow has reached the extreme and even sees the end...

"Are you... Ning Cang?"

"yes…"

“Can you ‘see’ that far and still lose?”

Ningcang sighed: "Yes... I lost, and things went wrong. Nine times out of ten, I found a way to the future, but... I fell on the road..."

"The future... is always full of uncertainty, just like you never know what that candy will taste like before you eat it. Maybe this is the fascinating thing about the future?"

As he spoke, his pale eyes fell on Ren Jie.

"My child...I am not doing this to destroy you. You know that in the real world...the past cannot be undone, and life cannot be repeated..."

"There are many roads, you can only choose one and walk on it unswervingly. You have no right to regret."

"It's true that you want a perfect future. I don't object to it, but since you have made this choice, you have to look further than everyone else!"

"At every node, choose carefully, after all, one wrong step will lead to wrong steps..."

"Use your eyes to see through all things, get rid of illusions, see the essence of things clearly, and then make a decision. You are one step ahead of everyone else, do you understand?"

"When an accident happens like this, you have room for recovery. This is also... the true meaning of the existence of your eyes..."

While speaking, Ningcang raised his hand and gently tapped Ren Jie's eyes, as if he was admonishing, but also caring...

He was like an old father who wished he could pour all his experiences and insights into Ren Jie.

Don't want him to take a detour.

It's a pity... there isn't much time left for him.

Ren Jie opened his eyes and looked at Ningcang, a complicated look flashed in his eyes:

"You are really from my ancestor..."
