[Inside the Trial Land]
When the true HIM heard that the consciousnesses in the void were actually the living beings from that former world, his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Xu Yuan's reasoning was tightly connected and reasonable. Every sentence was like a heavy hammer striking fiercely against the true HIM's heart, leaving him unable to find any reason to refute it.
And the existence of the Dread Lord became the strongest evidence for this deduction.
Moreover, the true HIM knew very well that although the half of Notch's power he had obtained was extremely powerful, this kind of power had absolutely no ability to create life.
Therefore, even if Xu Yuan's deduction could not be said to be one hundred percent certain, its accuracy could at least reach as high as ninety-nine percent.
Because of this, at this very moment, the depths of the true HIM's heart were like stormy waves rising into the sky.
All kinds of complicated emotions were mixed together, making him filled with countless feelings.
All along, he had always believed that that world had already been completely destroyed and had vanished without a trace.
He thought that he had become the only survivor in this world, wandering alone in this barren land.
He even firmly believed that no one would ever remember the former him and that glorious past again.
Although earlier he had appeared so free and unrestrained, as if he had already taken everything lightly, how could that hide the deep regret in his heart?
After all, he had once been a great hero of his generation. He had once been the supreme faith in the hearts of countless living beings, respected and followed by thousands.
However, as time passed and circumstances changed, the glory of the past had long since vanished like smoke.
Those living beings who had once loyally supported him and deeply admired him had now all abandoned him, as if he were only a forgotten passerby.
Only he remained standing alone on this vast land, facing the long and lonely years by himself.
Even though Xu Yuan had helped him find a way to resolve the world's problems, even though he knew that under Xu Yuan's leadership this world would become as beautiful as he had hoped.
He understood very clearly in his heart that this world had already become strange and distant to him, and no longer had anything to do with him.
Even though in this world the name "HIM" was still famous and still deeply respected and admired by people, he knew that this HIM did not represent Herobrine. The current "HIM" only represented Xu Yuan.
After leaving the Trial Land, the name HIM would probably slowly be replaced by Xu Yuan's real name.
This name would eventually become like that one, slowly being forgotten by the world.
That feeling was like being mercilessly abandoned by the entire world. Endless loneliness surged in like waves, deeply seeping into his bones and making his heart ache with pain.
Originally, he had already made preparations and planned to go reunite with those living beings from the past.
But at this moment, he learned the news that those living beings still existed, and that world still existed.
This shocking news instantly ignited the true HIM's strong desire to continue living.
He did not want to fade away just like this. Even if he would eventually fade away, he still wanted to see those living beings one last time.
The true HIM fell into a long silence. He stood there quietly without moving, silently adjusting his complicated and unsettled emotions.
Seeing that the true HIM remained silent, Tyrant HIM at the side impatiently spoke up.
"That's great then!"
"You should first give your power to Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan will go out and deal with the one in the void."
"Then you should be able to obtain the other half of Notch's power, right?"
"At that time Xu Yuan can release those living beings and restore their memories, and they will naturally remember you."
"When that time comes, you probably won't even be able to die even if you want to!"
At this point, Tyrant HIM seemed to feel that what he just said was not careful enough. After thinking for a moment, he continued speaking.
"Oh... I remember now, that's in the situation where Notch hasn't recovered his memory yet."
"If Notch recovers his memory, then the power should all return to him."
"But that's fine. Xu Yuan should have already settled Notch, right?"
"When the time comes, letting him help those living beings recover their memories will be the same."
After saying this, Tyrant HIM could not help but roll his eyes at the true HIM and said in a falsely blaming tone, "You've really put the three of us through a lot, and after all that you want to leave? How can that make sense?!"
After speaking, Tyrant HIM glanced at Annoying Village HIM and continued.
"The problems of this world already have a solution, but the problems of my world and his world are still there."
"Xu Yuan has already worked so hard for so long. Do you still want to trouble him more?"
"In my opinion, after the problems of this world are solved, Xu Yuan should stay here to handle the follow-up work."
"You should come with us first to our worlds to stabilize the situation and wait for him to come later."
"This time you better not think about being a hands-off boss again!"
Previously Tyrant HIM had celebrated too early and got proven wrong very quickly, so this time he had become much more cautious and had considered every situation he could think of.
After hearing Tyrant HIM's words, Annoying Village HIM slightly frowned and fell into deep thought.
After quite a while, he slowly nodded and said in agreement, "Mm, judging from the current situation, the possibilities that might happen should be just as he analyzed. There are only those two possibilities."
After saying this, Annoying Village HIM turned his gaze toward Xu Yuan who was standing at the side, then continued asking, "About Notch... how confident are you exactly?"
Facing Annoying Village HIM's question, Xu Yuan did not directly give a clear answer.
"I've already done everything that could be done to the limit."
Notch's situation involved many things and required considering many different factors together.
So before having one hundred percent certainty, Xu Yuan would not easily make any promises or conclusions.
Although Xu Yuan did not give a definite reply and only stated that he had already done his best, at this moment Annoying Village HIM and Tyrant HIM both let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
They exchanged glances, then almost spoke in unison, "Then there probably won't be any big problems."
Right after that, Tyrant HIM shrugged and added with emotion, "You've already done everything you could to this extent. If even this still can't solve the problem..."
"Then Notch must have done something terribly wrong that even heaven can't tolerate!"
After hearing Tyrant HIM's words, the true HIM was first slightly stunned, then he could not help bursting into loud laughter.
The laughter was open and bold, as if he wanted to release all the emotions that had been piled up in his heart for a long time.
From his expression at this moment, it could be seen that regarding Xu Yuan as a person, he shared the same view as Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM, complete trust without reservation.
At this moment, the man who had been tense suddenly seemed like a different person, becoming extremely relaxed and at ease.
The heavy stone that had long been pressing on his heart finally crashed down at this moment and completely disappeared.
He stepped forward with light footsteps, slowly walking toward Xu Yuan.
Each step looked calm and steady, carrying a bit of indescribable joy.
When he reached Xu Yuan, he did not hesitate to stretch out one hand and gently place it on Xu Yuan's shoulder.
This simple action contained deep feelings and expectations for the future.
It was also at this moment that the true HIM revealed for the first time a relaxed and happy smile that came from deep within his heart.
"I believe we will meet again in the end." he said with a smile, his gaze firm and warm as he looked straight into Xu Yuan's eyes.
Then he paused slightly before adding, "But don't make me wait too long."
After saying this, the hand resting on Xu Yuan's shoulder suddenly exerted strength, slightly tightening his grip on Xu Yuan's shoulder.
At that very moment, a dazzling white light suddenly poured out from between his fingers and rushed straight into Xu Yuan.
The light was brilliant and dazzling, almost impossible to look at directly.
However, strangely enough, at the instant this powerful white light touched Xu Yuan's body, it was as if it had found its destination and was quickly absorbed into his body...
