"Hmph, at least my efforts weren't in vain."
"But then again, this kid went through the whole universe for a woman, which is unprecedented."
Chicken Da Bao leaned back in his chair, a cigar dangling from his lips, and smiled.

Boonie Bears World
When he saw Shizuka being rescued, Bald Qiang was so excited that he slapped his thigh, knocking over the water glass on the table.
"Fantastic! It's a success!"
"That little girl is alright! I knew it! I knew that kid Da Xiong would have a way!"
He was so excited that he paced back and forth in the small wooden hut, his face beaming with a genuine and radiant smile.
He was completely immersed in the story and genuinely happy for the protagonist's victory.
"That Nobita is really something!"
"He'd do anything for the person he loves! He's a true man!"
"It's great, great!"
"I knew he could do it! That bastard's car didn't hit her!"
Outside the window, Xiong Er clapped his paws happily and let out a hearty cheer.
Although it didn't quite understand concepts like time, space, and cause and effect, it understood that the best outcome was that the good people didn't die and the bad things didn't happen.
"Yes."
"True love will eventually be united; this is the best ending."
Xiong Da leaned against the window, a relieved smile on his face.
This story, full of love and miracles, warmed the hearts of all the viewers in the forest.

Happy Heroes World
Big Monster and Little Monster have been silently watching everything happening in the sky.
When he saw Nobita unleash all his power to save Shizuka, repeatedly reshaping time and space, even the handsome and cold face of the Great Demon King showed a hint of emotion.
When the final scene showed Shizuka safe and sound...
"Excellent, General!"
"The girl named Shizuka is saved!"
"That Nobita, he really did it!"
Little Monster shouted excitedly from the side, his face full of satisfaction.
"..."
The big monster didn't say anything.
He watched the boy on the screen, his mad figure defying the very cause and effect of the universe for the sake of his only love. His usually cold and sharp eyes gradually softened.
He slowly revealed a genuine, faint smile.
"Ah."
"That's...good."
he said softly.
Perhaps, he saw in that boy a glimpse of another possibility that he had never chosen.
A possibility... of using all one's power to protect rather than conquer.
However, he discovered that the Shizuka he saved were still Shizukas from parallel universes, not the Shizuka from his own historical timeline.
Those Shizukas who were saved would smile at him, thank him, and even fall in love with him, but in their eyes, there was no trace of the unique, radiant soul of the Shizuka he knew, the Shizuka from his memories.
[His so-called return to the past was merely the regeneration of a new, parallel world with a different history at the moment of time travel, not the historical world he personally witnessed.]
He stood by the river of time, scooping up handful after handful of water, but no matter how much he scooped up, it was never the first drop he had lost. That drop, named "his Shizuka," had forever flowed into the sea called "the past."
Others might not be able to tell the difference, but he could clearly perceive it!
His divinity allowed him to perceive the subtle differences between every parallel universe; even a difference in the spin direction of a single quark could not escape his notice. These differences constantly reminded him that he had failed, that he had lost her forever.
Although Shizuka in other parallel worlds and historical timelines is also gentle, kind, and lovely, she is ultimately not his Shizuka!
They are perfect replicas, reproductions of data, but they are not the one who accompanied him through his lonely childhood, the one who taught him heartache for the first time, the one who became the sole meaning in his life, the unique soul.
Furthermore, during his time travel, Nobita increasingly discovers his own uniqueness.
In countless parallel worlds, he saw countless "Nobita Nobi," but he discovered that only he himself was the "outcast" whose mind contained knowledge of the universe.
[Because in other parallel universes, Nobita is just a lazy, stupid person who can't do anything right and is almost useless except for being kind.]
He saw one weak version of himself after another, being bullied by Fatty Hu, being scolded by the teacher, and silently shedding tears while watching Shizuka's retreating figure. Those versions of himself had no power to change anything and could only helplessly accept the arrangements of fate.

After repeated attempts, he realized he could not change the history he already knew and that had already happened, because he was merely an observer and witness of history; the history that had already occurred and the history he had witnessed together formed an unchangeable part of the past!
He finally understood the cruelest law of the universe: observation is creation. Once an event is observed by an "observer" of his stature, it becomes permanently locked in the causal chain, becoming an eternal and unshakeable "established fact."
"Wait... what do you mean? Didn't he already successfully save Shizuka?"
"What do you mean by 'not Shizuka from her own historical timeline'?"
"I understand... Oh my god, this... this is too cruel!"
"What he saved were Shizukas from parallel universes, not the unique Shizuka of his own time and space!"
“His divinity allows him to discern the most subtle differences, so he cannot deceive himself. To him, the girls he saved were merely perfect, soulless replicas.”
"So that's how it is... Because Nobita is the 'Observer of the Universe'! He possesses the supreme status of defining 'reality'!"
"Therefore, once he witnesses an event firsthand, such as 'Shizuka's death,' that event will be completely locked onto the causal chain and become an unchangeable 'established fact'!"
"Therefore, he cannot change the fate of Shizuka's death in his own world. All he can do is try to save Shizukas in other parallel universes, but that is meaningless to him!"
.... .... 0
"He possessed the power of a creator god, yet he was powerless to save his only love... This is... the ultimate pain and despair!"

Fox Spirit Matchmaker World
When they saw the cruel explanation of the "established facts" on the screen, both Tu Shan Rongrong and Tu Shan Ya Ya showed deep, empathetic sadness.
"...After all that, it turns out..."
"Is it... still beyond saving?"
"His own Shizuka...has disappeared forever?"
For the first time, Bai Yuechu's face was devoid of its usual playful smile, replaced by a solemn expression.
He looked at the lonely figure on the screen, scooping up the moon's reflection in the water, and it was as if he saw countless people who had missed each other because of fate.
"Are you kidding me! What is this?!"
"He tried so hard, even going so far as to ignite his own brain and fight against the laws of the entire universe! In the end, it was all for nothing?"
Tu Shan Ya Ya's tone was filled with anger and resentment.
She couldn't stand the tragedy of lovers being unable to be together.
"This is just too hopeless."
Tu Shan Rongrong sighed softly, her fox eyes, which always carried a slight smile, now filled with mist.
"He personally created so many incredible inventions: the time machine, the 'what if' phone booth, the 'Lie 800'... Any one of them would be enough to overturn life and death and rewrite cause and effect."
"But in the end, he possessed everything a god could have, yet no matter what, he could not save that unique Shizuka who had accompanied him through his lonely childhood, who belonged to him alone."
"Perhaps this is the constraint called 'the Way of Heaven' that even gods cannot defy."
"...So, even gods..."
"He also has 'cause and effect' that he can't sever, and 'emotional ties' that he can't get back."
Tu Shan Honghong's voice, carrying a hint of ethereal compassion, drifted gently in the wind.

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf World
Green grassland, sheep village.
The lambs, who had just been cheering for Shizuka's rescue, froze on their faces after understanding the new explanation on the sky, replaced by confusion and despair.
"……how so?"
"Wasn't she already rescued? Why... why do you say it's not his Shizuka?"
Pleasant Goat's face was full of confusion; he couldn't understand the complicated reasoning behind it at all.
"I don't understand either!"
"Isn't that girl perfectly fine?"
Boiling Sheep scratched his head, looking completely puzzled.
"because……"
"Because Nobita saw with his own eyes his own Shizuka die in a car accident."
"Therefore, 'Shizuka's death' became something... that cannot be changed."
Slow Sheep Village Chief explained this cruel rule to the sheep in his old and sorrowful voice.
He looked at the lonely god on the screen, his heart filled with sympathy.
"That……"
"Doesn't that mean..."
