"So this is a world that's very similar to your hometown. It looks like there are a lot of people."
After taking a shower, Sarah shook her hair and sat in a car. She couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the people around her. On the other hand, Li Ke looked around speechlessly because he discovered something that made him speechless.
In the Rune Land of this parallel world, there was still no place like the Celestial Empire. There was still the so-called Ionia, the product of all trends except for the orthodox trend of the Celestial Empire. Thailand didn't look like Thailand, Vietnam didn't look like Vietnam, and Japan didn't look like a mixture of Japan …
And the most ridiculous thing was that there were people burning incense and praying everywhere. Many of them had braids. Most of them had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks and were abnormally thin and weak. Most of them were wearing clothes of the Republic of China or suits that didn't fit. Although the architectural style was very similar to the style of the Celestial Empire, it revealed the pettiness of Japan due to the limited space and resources.
If this place could be said to be very similar to his hometown, Li Ke would take out his invincible Dyson Sphere and melt this planet with a plasma flame of the sun.
"I'm annoyed just looking at this place."
Li Ke held the buns that he bought on the side of the road. What he couldn't stand the most was that these people were still paying with copper coins. Although this world was different from the stories made up by the arrogant western world, and this was a world that developed naturally, staying here still made him feel uncomfortable.
"I think it's very novel. It looks very similar to Ionia."
Sarah shrugged and didn't care much. She took one of the buns that Li Ke was holding and took a bite.
Then she cried out in surprise because the bun was filled with cheese and sausages. It was delicious to her, so she finished it in a few bites. Then, she took another bun from Li Ke's arms and stuffed it into her mouth.
This time, it was cheese.
"What the f * ck!"
Li Ke subconsciously turned his head to look at the steamed bun shop he had just bought. He had the urge to smash the shop to pieces. But after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it. After all, this was how they did business in this world. What was common sense to him was incorrect to them.
Li Ke casually stuffed the stuffed bun into Sarah's mouth, causing her to glare at him in dissatisfaction. Li Ke looked around and finally sighed helplessly.
He could have returned to his own world a long time ago when he was developing his magic further. However, he was always afraid that he didn't have the courage to return and shoulder his responsibilities. He was even more afraid that if he went back, things would remain the same but people would change. That was why he never went back.
But now, he wanted his wife to be able to adapt to a life similar to Earth in advance, as well as the life in the Celestial Empire. When he failed, he realized that he finally had an excuse.
Yes, the desire to go home was abnormally scorching. It was only because of responsibility and fear that he did not dare to do so. Now that he had an excuse, Li Ke's perturbed heart finally found a reason to move forward.
Even if this excuse was not an excuse at all.
That was why he grabbed Sarah, who was still eating mindlessly. If Sivir or Eich were beside him right now, they would definitely notice the difference in him and give him a different choice. However, Sarah wouldn't do that.
"What are you doing?"
Sarah, who was chewing on the bun, looked at Li Ke in confusion. Then, the next moment, the light of stars flickered in her vision. Li Ke's clothes changed again, turning into the cheap suit that he wore when he transmigrated.
He used to be very resistant to thinking about the days when he transmigrated, so when he recalled the past, he remembered that when he transmigrated to the world of Valoran, he was playing games with his friends in an internet cafe and had just sat down on a chair.
At that time, he was holding a glass of lemonade in his hand, planning to play League of Legends with his friends after playing DNF. But as soon as he sat down on the chair, he transmigrated to the Runic Land.
After that, the lemonade was drunk by the soldiers, the phone was taken away by the general, who thought it was Hex Technologies, and everything was taken away from him. When he regained his freedom, these things could not be found, and there was no possibility of getting them back. The only thing he could use as a memento were his memories.
"Let's go to my world."
Li Ke took a deep breath and activated his power. Sarah looked at Li Ke in confusion, not understanding why he changed his mind. But when she felt Li Ke's suddenly accelerated heartbeat, she still grabbed Li Ke's hand and leaned on Li Ke's body.
Li Ke searched for the original feeling, traced back his blood, and searched for the place where his soul came from. He was actually very afraid. He finally regained his freedom and found the way home. How could he risk his life to fight against an existence that he had no chance of winning?
He had indeed become timid. Because he had once again regained everything he had lost, he became more and more indecisive and hesitant to move forward. He tried his best to stall for time in order to avoid the inevitable battle, instead of stalling for time to be more prepared.
This was a very ridiculous thing for someone like him. He shouldn't and couldn't be in such an ugly state. However, he was really afraid. He wanted to abandon everything here and return to his own world. Then, he would no longer care about the life and death of everything here. He thought that this wasn't his world. After he regained his freedom, the game of playing the hero and the king should have ended long ago, right?
That world didn't need him. There were many people smarter and more capable than him. The gods didn't completely persecute humans.
But why was the way home so far away?
Looking at the shining passage, Li Ke's heart was unusually complicated. When he first glimpsed the true face of the gods, he only needed to turn around to return to his world. But now, it was different. His world was rejecting him, who was born in this world. His flesh and body were being rejected. Only a part of his soul that hadn't been transformed by the power in his body wasn't rejected and could bring his body back to his hometown.
Sarah's rejection was much smaller. At most, the world's rejection of her was at the level of a five-year-old child gently pushing a bodybuilder who weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Then, the power that Li Ke was rejected by his world was like the power that the earth was pulled by the sun.
The two couldn't be mentioned in the same breath. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ke's soul still belonged to that world, it would be impossible for him to return to his own world.
This also meant that if he wanted to return to his world at the end of everything, he had to let his soul retain the traces and appearance of his world. Otherwise, he would never be able to return to his own world. Because he was too strong and involved too much power of the world. Unlike Sarah, who was just a little fish with a better body, he couldn't be easily let go and accepted.
However, with the push of Li Ke's heart that was powered by dozens of stars, he successfully opened up a passage that could accommodate him and Sarah. He left the Rune Land and returned to his own world.
A white light flashed. Even Li Ke's' eyes' couldn't see the situation in the crack between worlds. He only felt an infinite flash of light. After that, he sensed a strange yet familiar aura. Li Ke hugged Sarah and sat on a familiar-looking sofa. He then looked around in a daze.
The noisy environment, the pungent smell of smoke, the familiar and unfamiliar faces, and the incomparably familiar interface of the Internet café and the half-typed password of the account were on the screen. Beside him was his colleague and junior high school classmate. His colleague was tapping on the keyboard with a cigarette between his fingers and turned his head to look at him.
"Hey, Li Ke, don't you have … Damn, when did you start hugging a woman?!"
Li Ke's friend looked in surprise at Li Ke, who was hugging a red-haired foreigner with big breasts and long legs. They clearly came together just now. Why was there a foreign woman in Li Ke's arms?!
This didn't make sense!
This guy was a typical man who was afraid of marriage. He didn't have the money to buy a house or a car, nor did he have the time to find a girlfriend. Every day, he only knew how to play games until 11 or 12 o 'clock. Then, he would go to sleep after work. How did he suddenly have such a beautiful foreign girlfriend?
How could he hire her?
How much would that cost?
His friend's thoughts were written all over his face, especially when he saw the woman leaning naturally in Li Ke's arms. Their attention wasn't on Li Ke, who had undergone a huge change. Instead, it was on the woman who suddenly appeared in Li Ke's arms.
"Is this your world? And, do they know you? I heard them call your name. "
Sarah looked around curiously. The surrounding smells reminded her of the slaughterhouse. Especially the smell of low-quality tobacco and sweat, as well as the smell of salted fish that hadn't washed their feet for days. Although it was definitely better than the slaughtering dock filled with the stench of fish, the composition of the smell was still similar.
"Yes."
Li Ke nodded and replied to Sarah in Pisheng language. When these words that sounded like English came out of his mouth, his friends felt like they were looking at a fake Li Ke.
"When did you learn English?"
Just like him, the guy who often failed English classes asked this question directly.
"Recently."
Li Ke nodded and looked at his friends with nostalgia. Once upon a time, he also fantasized about returning to this group of idiots and escaping from that hell. But now that he was back, he felt empty in his heart. It was as though he was condemning himself and had the urge to never go back.
"Isn't it great here? You're the only Extraordinary. You can do whatever you want."
A voice suddenly sounded in Li Ke's heart. This voice was abnormally loud, but it had a magical quality that he couldn't ignore. In an instant, all kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind because this was the truth.
In this world without magic, he was an invincible existence. His existence was like a star, and he was not someone that a mere native of Earth could resist. He should enslave these foolish creatures and make them build a statue as tall as Mount Everest. He should let them feel honored to be under his rule.
Every year, on this day, countless people would volunteer to clean and take care of this statue. They were not allowed to use any modern tools and could only kneel and worship from the other side of the earth. Every day, they had to bathe and diet, and in the end, they would not eat or drink for three days to clean the statue.
This was the only way to show the sincerity of the lowly creatures on this lowly planet! And the glory that was worthy of being under his rule!
"Li Ke?"
Sarah shook Li Ke's body doubtfully and woke Li Ke up from his thoughts. Then, he felt his heart palpitate because this problem seemed to have deepened after leaving that world. His thoughts were being influenced by something.
But this power …
It seemed to come from his heart …
Inner demons?
Li Ke's pupils dilated a little. The negative emotions and personal desires that he had been suppressing seemed to have affected his heart, especially now that his strength had inexplicably increased rapidly. His heart seemed to have some problems. His soul was affected by the powerful force that he couldn't completely control and gradually became extreme and irritable.
"I'm fine …"
Li Ke's heart was full of fear. He had almost made a mistake and changed into the person he hated the most. He didn't feel the joy of returning to his hometown, where nothing had changed, and where everything was still the same as when he left. He only felt a sense of arrogance, a feeling that everything should be under him, and that no matter how crazy the creatures on this planet did to worship him, it was a natural feeling.
This kind of arrogance, this feeling that he should be above everything in the world, made him feel disgusted and nauseous, but just now, he really enjoyed and agreed with this disgusting arrogance. This kind of arrogance was suppressed in the world of Runic Land, but after returning to his own world, this arrogance seemed to have been released, allowing him to feel the bomb hidden in his heart in advance.
Was it necessary for a dragon slayer to become an evil dragon?
Clenching his fists, Li Ke was unusually resistant to such a future, but no matter how much he resisted, there was no way he could get rid of the arrogance that came from the power of the Ascender.
He couldn't give up the power of the Ascender, nor could he give up his perseverance and personality. Any one of the two would cause him to die completely, but …
"I can't avoid it anymore."
At the very least, I have to resolve everything before I change into someone else!
