In the deep, gloomy, pitch-black underground cave, only the cold blue light illuminated the way forward.
Fangzheng walked in and looked at the various weathered buildings around him in amazement.
But come to think of it …
"Why are you following me?"
Fangzheng turned around and looked at the blue-haired girl behind him. She was not Codori. Codori, Noft and Esya were currently helping the soldiers on the surface. Fangzheng planned to go underground to look for the node left by the Goddess of Order, but he was not alone.
Nefran and Lan Duolu also followed him into the ruins.
Neferia was easy to understand. She had been by Fangzheng's side all this while like a puppy following her owner. Fangzheng was already used to it. But Lan Duolu surprised Fangzheng a little. He had only met her for a few hours, and Fangzheng had only answered a few of her questions.
But he did not expect to be entangled with her.
That's right, unlike the silent Neferine, Lan Duolu seemed to be a girl who liked to study and think. In fact, after learning that Fangzheng was a human, she asked him two questions.
How did the Beasts appear?
How did the Golden Fairies appear?
Fangzheng of course answered without hiding anything. Perhaps for the people of this world, this was a secret that they had to protect with their lives, but for Fangzheng, it was no more valuable than a tabloid on the street.
And so, Lan Duolu learned the truth of this world from Fangzheng.
The Beasts were transformed from the former humans of this world.
The Golden Fairies were imitations created by the remaining humans of this world to imitate the creation of humans by the former Astral Gods.
"Because you are one of the humans who destroyed this world, so I have to monitor you to make sure you don't do anything dangerous."
Lan Duolu walked behind Fangzheng and stared at Fangzheng. Fangzheng shrugged.
"I told you, I'm not a human of this world."
"I don't believe that."
"Whether you believe me or not is up to you."
Fangzheng replied casually and withdrew his gaze. Lan Duolu didn't say anything either. As for Neferine, she didn't say anything.
The three of them continued to advance. After a while, Lan Duolu asked again.
"I've heard about you from Codori and Asya. Why are you so gentle to us Golden Fairies?"
"Hmm? Is there a problem? "
"Of course."
Lan Duoluke nodded.
"We are weapons, consumables. Is it really okay for you to treat us like this? Perhaps one day, a Gold Fairy will say 'I don't want to fight, I just want to live'. "
"Hahaha …"
However, to Lan Duolu's surprise, Fangzheng suddenly laughed when he heard that.
"Isn't that normal? Wanting to live and not wanting to die is the natural instinct of life."
"What are you laughing at?"
Lan Duolu felt inexplicably angry when she heard Fangzheng's laughter.
"But we're not living beings. We're just Gold Fairies, consumables."
"No."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Fangzheng.
"You're not qualified to be consumables."
"Wha …."
"I have an army of Zergs under me. Hmm …. You've never seen them before. In short, you can think of them as a race similar to beasts. They completely obey my orders and don't fear death. But do you know how many of them there are? "
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed upwards.
"There are more of them than there are stars in the sky, and they reproduce faster than rabbits. Their hearts and minds are connected to the Zerg network and share each other's thoughts. If you kill one, two more will hatch. If you kill two, four more will hatch. There's no end to them. Because of this, every Zerg will fight to the death, and I'll let them fight to the death. "
Hearing this, Lan Duolu and Neferine were stunned. Although they had never seen a swarm of insects before, just hearing Fangzheng's description was enough to make them shudder.
"Do you understand? Numbers are the basis of a war of attrition. You Gold Fairies only have two or three of them, and I heard from Nigolan that not every Fairy can become a Fairy Soldier. What qualifications do you have to fight a war of attrition? The people of this world are really retarded. Only Gold Fairies can use relics and weapons. They should be protected and nurtured instead of treated as consumables. I really don't know what's wrong with their brains …. Forget it, I've been to so many worlds anyway, and I've seen even more retarded things …. "
Fangzheng muttered as he walked in front, while Lan Duolu's expression became more and more complicated.
"Wait a minute, but you said you have a … Zerg army. Aren't they afraid of death?"
"The culture of the Zerg is different from yours, but they also know the concept of death. It's just that among the Zerg, it's normal to die for the whole race. They don't fear death, they don't ignore death, and they definitely don't ignore death."
With that said, Fangzheng swept a glance at Lan Duoluke.
"That's why I said that you don't have to have no concept of death to become a warrior. To be honest, if it were me, I'd rather not have such warriors. "
"Wh-Why?"
"Because they don't know death, they have no concept of death, and they don't have a good understanding of what they should do."
With that said, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"I have many companions around me. Many of them have faced the threat of death. They've been afraid, cried, and escaped, but in the end, they still picked up their weapons and bravely faced battle and death. Because they know what death is, they don't want to die, they don't want to die, and they don't want others to die. That's why they fight with all their might. If they're soldiers who don't know the concept of death ….. I might as well throw a grenade at them. "
Neferian was already used to Fangzheng's odd way of speaking. Instead, it was Lan Duolu who was momentarily speechless. After all, what Fangzheng said didn't match her worldview at all. It could be said that after chatting with Fangzheng for the entire journey, Lan Duolu had wanted to investigate this mysterious human, but she realized that her worldview was on the brink of collapse.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Fangzheng stopped and looked ahead. There, a corpse covered in blood appeared in front of everyone.
"He's a member of the salvage team."
Lan Duolu immediately recognized him as one of the members of the salvage team.
"He was attacked by an Orc. He's dead."
"Speaking of which, I did hear about this before I came down here …."
Fangzheng scratched his head. He remembered hearing an argument between the captain of the salvage team and the military before they entered the ruins. The military had sent two salvage teams into the depths of the ruins to save time. The captain of the salvage team was furious. After all, according to tradition, once more than seven people entered the ruins, all of them would die.
However, the military officer obviously thought that this was a superstition. Well, this was also a necessary element in the beginning of many horror movies.
Therefore, it was normal to say that those who sought death would die.
"Alright, let's move on. It's just up ahead."
Fangzheng only glanced at the corpse before turning his gaze away and continuing to walk deeper into the ruins. Neferine followed silently. Only Lan Duolu was slightly worried. After all, they were underground. If they were attacked by an Orc, the situation would be very dangerous.
But she couldn't change anything by herself. She could only bite the bullet and continue to follow.
Along the way, they found several more corpses. Obviously, just like in horror movies, those who violated the taboo were all dead.
Finally, under Fangzheng's lead, they arrived at their destination.
"This is it."
Fangzheng muttered to himself when he saw the scene in front of him.
What appeared in front of him was a space that looked like a square or some kind of religious hall. Of course, that was not important. What was important was that in the center of this space was a human figure wrapped in crystal. It was a girl who looked about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a thin white dress and had long bright red hair. On her body, from her chest to her abdomen, there was a huge, dark wound.
"What … is that?"
Lan Duolu's voice trembled when she saw the red-haired girl.
"I feel … something's not right. It's as if something is calling me …"
"Don't get too close."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand to block Neferine and Lan Duolu.
"Remember what I said before? Humans killed the Star Gods and tried to copy their methods, using the soul fragments of the Star Gods to create humans. But they failed, and you Golden Fairies are their products, so … "
"That's the Star Gods?"
At that moment, Lan Duolu immediately understood what was going on with that indescribable feeling in the depths of her heart.
She was the product of the soul fragments of the Star Gods, and the girl frozen in crystal was the last Star Gods.
"Is she dead?"
At this moment, Nefryn asked.
"Dead. Strictly speaking, she's asleep. Those humans didn't really kill her, but …"
Fangzheng slowly walked forward and raised his right hand.
"— — Cruel Queen of Steel, the holy sword that slays demons and slays demons — — Turn into a sword of steel and show yourself!"
As Fangzheng spoke, a silver dagger appeared in Fangzheng's hand.
It was the Demon Slayer Holy Sword — — Aster.
The girl in front of them was the coordinates of Order left here by the Goddess of Order, but she was already "dead". But this kind of death was not a real death. Humans created the holy sword and used it to cast a death curse on the last Star Gods, which was why she became like this.
The Demon Slayer Holy Sword in Fangzheng's hand could break all curses, even the curse of death.
Fangzheng raised the silver dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard at the crystal in front of him.
"Crack."
The dagger easily pierced into the crystal. The next moment, the ground began to tremble, and the crystal in front of him gradually cracked and shattered. Finally, it completely exploded with a "bang" and disappeared into the air. At the same time, the red-haired girl landed on the ground.
The huge wound on her body had disappeared. Fangzheng reached out and hugged her.
"Let's get out of here first."
The trembling of the ground became more and more violent. Not only did Fangzheng's sword break the seal, but it also seemed to have awakened some sleeping existence.
"We'll talk about the rest when we get to the surface."
