Notch's state at this moment scared everyone into silence. Even Rookie, who had always been close to him, didn't dare to speak up to persuade him.
In truth, Notch wasn't angry at D. After all, he had long since stopped holding any expectations for D.
Before, he had simply stopped treating D as a friend. But now, he no longer even treated D as a person, so there was no need to be angry at him.
What he was really angry about was himself. He was angry at why he had trusted D in the past, why he had given D such great authority and power.
If he hadn't granted D that power back then, those living beings wouldn't have suffered under D's cruelty.
He was angry at his own subconscious. Even knowing full well all the evil D had done, his subconscious still insisted on allocating half of his power to preserve D.
What angered him even more was that, even though D was clearly the one who started it all, Notch still felt like everything was his own fault.
Although the ending he had come to know was already considered perfect, Notch still couldn't suppress the nameless fire burning in his heart.
Seeing Notch like this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. When they had been discussing Notch's abilities earlier, Xu Yuan had deliberately avoided mentioning D.
He knew very well that if Notch found out that D had the ability to save those living beings but still chose to turn a blind eye and exploit their souls, Notch would definitely lose control.
He could understand why Notch was angry. Seeing this, Xu Yuan walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "When hardship gives way to relief, what matters is the relief, not dwelling on the hardship, right?"
"And besides, you didn't do anything wrong back then."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are hard to balance, but you managed to do both."
"You didn't let those living beings down, and you didn't betray your friend either."
At this point, Xu Yuan smiled and teased, "If you really want to look at it this way… part of your power went to the real HIM, and the real HIM found me, this tool guy. And just like that, this tool guy happened to become the savior."
"So by that logic, that's your contribution too, right?"
As he said this, Xu Yuan suddenly put on an expression of admiration and looked at Notch. "Impressive, impressive. As expected of the Creator God. Was this also part of your plan?!"
Hearing Xu Yuan's completely off-track teasing, Notch rolled his eyes. But he had to admit, Doctor Xu's "medical skills" were still sharp. Those words did make him feel a lot better.
After calming down a bit, Notch sighed with some self-reproach. "Sorry, sorry. I got off topic."
Then he looked at Greenie and said, "We already understand your background. Let's continue discussing how living beings enter the inner world."
Hearing this, Greenie nodded. After organizing his thoughts, he continued, "The inner world is a very peculiar existence."
"I don't fully understand its operating rules, but what can be confirmed is that it leans more toward a spiritual domain."
"So, to enter the inner world, one must form a spiritual connection with someone who has already been imprinted in it."
At this point, Greenie looked at Xu Yuan. "The person imprinted in the inner world… used to be Notch. Now, it's our king."
"To become an imprint that won't be erased by the inner world, one must form connections with all living beings in it."
"That sounds like an impossible task…" Greenie glanced at Notch. "Unless you're a Creator God like him…"
"After all, every block beneath their feet and every bite of food they eat was created by Notch. Naturally, they all form connections with him."
"Although our king saved many living beings before, it wasn't all of them, so not every living being formed a connection with him."
At this point, Greenie couldn't help but sigh. "You could say it was a twist of fate…"
After a pause, he continued explaining, "Thanks to D, our king was able to connect with all living beings and leave his imprint in the inner world."
Hearing this, everyone thought they had misheard.
"????????"
"What?? Thanks to D?????"
"Did you say it wrong or am I deaf? D??? Are we supposed to thank him now??"
As everyone was confused, Rookie spoke thoughtfully, "Is it because of the life-for-life proposal that Xu Yuan became connected to all living beings in this world?"
As soon as Rookie finished, Greenie nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes… that's exactly what I meant…"
Greenie didn't mean to thank D. He just hadn't chosen his words carefully, almost making everyone misunderstand his stance. Fortunately, Rookie understood him.
Hearing this, everyone finally understood. Greenie let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"I said earlier, the inner world is a spiritual domain. Everything that happens in the outer world is recorded there."
"D once said that if our king didn't hand over Notch's power, he would slaughter all living beings in the world."
"Maybe it was a threat, maybe he really meant it. But that doesn't matter. The moment he said those words, they were already recorded."
"At that moment, the lives of all living beings became linked to our king."
"And when our king made his choice, they all formed a spiritual connection with him."
At this point, Greenie looked at Mustard, the Pillager King, the Blue Demon, and Barbecue Sauce. "The reason those four were able to reach the inner world so quickly is because their spiritual connection with our king is extremely strong."
"As for Stephen and me, we're a bit different."
"Stephen can also form a spiritual connection with our king, but not as strong as theirs. That connection alone isn't enough to bring it here."
"The reason it could come here is also because it has a spiritual connection with Notch, who has already appeared in the inner world."
"To give a simple example, a spiritual connection is like a rope pulling Stephen into the inner world. Only a thick enough rope can bear its weight and bring it here."
"But its rope with our king isn't strong enough, and its rope with Notch isn't strong enough either. However, when the two ropes are twisted together, they become strong enough to pull it into the inner world."
After saying that, Greenie patted his chest and continued, "As for me, I once wandered in the inner world. I don't need a rope to pull me in. I just need to follow the direction of the rope to return here."
"So even though my rope isn't as strong as theirs, I can still come here."
After hearing Greenie's explanation, Rookie finally understood the key to entering the inner world.
After summarizing it in his mind, he looked at Greenie and said, "So basically, all living beings already hold a rope in their hands."
"As long as there are more people in the inner world connected to them, the rope in their hands will become stronger. When that happens, they'll be able to enter the inner world easily."
"What we need to do next is simply welcome their arrival, right?"
