"What you mean is that the universe will be destroyed. It doesn't make any difference to us because it has happened many times."
Li Ke calmed down and understood the Dragon King's thoughts.
It was like playing League of Legends. Every game was a new beginning. If it was a crucial ranking match, you wouldn't mind being a tool for your teammates in order to win.
Buying eyes, reporting the location, giving up kills, and even expressing your opinions carefully, afraid that your teammates would make a mistake.
After all, you knew that it was just a game.
Just like when you chose heroes like Senna, Little Fa, Hammerstone, and Doghead, the soldiers who were robbed would want to kill their teammates' families because their teammates leaked their souls.
But when the game ended, you wouldn't regret the disappearance of these people.
The world was a game, the Dragon King was the player, and the stars were the levels.
The gods?
Although Li Ke thought highly of them, they were just wild monsters and low-level robot teammates.
As for ordinary life forms …
Perhaps they could barely be considered as soldiers.
Just like how Senna could immediately take over the game from nine people with 300 souls and win by standing still like a tower. Of course, the Dragon King cared about the stars in this world.
But when the game ended, he wouldn't be reluctant to leave.
"So no matter what I do, except for those who were taken away by Bard, everyone else will die."
"Yes, the universe has its own rules. Whether it's this world or the world you came from, destruction is inevitable. But the rebirth of the universe is also inevitable. We just need to create order in the new world and create glory."
The Dragon King, who had taken back his pride, didn't want to stay in this world anymore. He wanted to go to the next world.
The gods in this world disappointed him. They didn't want to use their own power to realize their own ideas. Instead, they wanted to force others to realize their ideals. Their actions also deviated from the right path.
So he wanted to leave. When the gods returned and the contract with the gods as a wedge disappeared temporarily, he wanted to push for the end and rebirth of the universe.
This was the choice of the world.
It was also his choice. He wouldn't take the initiative to destroy this world. But if this was the choice of the world, then he chose to accept it.
In any case, it was just another cycle of reincarnation.
"No matter what you've done in the two worlds, no matter what sacrifices you've made, you've only accelerated the destruction of the universe. You probably don't know that the gods who went to your world wanted to delay the destruction by sacrificing half of their gods, but it was useless. The world will lead everything to the way it wants. "
Aurelian Thor, who had broken free and returned to his original form, looked at Li Ke, and also at another world.
To him, the other worlds were no secret. Now that these two worlds were incomparably close, he could also see what was happening in the other world.
However, it was different from the Universe Ocean that Li Ke had arrived in. He couldn't see his own world at all, nor could he sense his own world.
What the Dragon King saw was the fact that the two worlds were about to collide. As long as Li Ke unleashed his power, this wave of energy would cause the two worlds to collide and begin to be destroyed and reborn.
It wasn't even him. Yatokus, who had stolen their power, could also do this. It was just that he didn't make a move and seemed to be waiting for something.
This was a rather hopeless situation, but the Dragon King was kind. He passed on everything he knew to Li Ke, letting him see what he knew.
The world wouldn't allow the people in its body to act recklessly. Or rather, in the unseen world, these lifeforms who couldn't leave their own world to survive would follow the world's will and advance because of the operation of the world.
This was not a fixed fate. The operation of the world had its own rules, but lifeforms could reverse this situation with their own will.
And the current situation was a choice made by the lives led by the gods. Their desire for perfection drove the destruction of the world.
They didn't even know this. Their desire for perfection kept pushing the world to make all kinds of changes, and then the world would have all kinds of situations because of their choices.
Every ending they made, every choice they made, would bring about changes in the world. Of course, if Li Ke didn't come, these two worlds would only be destroyed a little later. Li Ke's arrival would only cause them to be destroyed a little earlier.
His arrival only gave the people of the two worlds a choice that wasn't so good. The gods and them were the driving force, causing the two worlds that could have lasted for trillions of years to directly enter the end.
But this amount of time was also meaningless to him and Li Ke. Li Ke would understand this point in the future.
In general, destruction and creating a world where no one was unfortunate was the choice made by their efforts and ideals.
It was their pursuit of perfection and no pain that made their world decide to be destroyed, even if Li Ke didn't exist.
It was the same for both worlds. This was the common choice of both worlds. What could Li Ke stop?
Could he stop the operation of the world, or stop everyone from longing for a painless and sorrowful world?
His choice could destroy the world, but how could it defeat the desire of all living beings for a better life?
So from the beginning, even though he had already recognized Li Ke as the person who had stopped him from destroying the Rune Land, he didn't attack Li Ke or do anything to him.
Because Li Ke would understand a principle he had known for a long time because of the destruction of these two worlds.
The world and life were just reincarnations. They only needed to be themselves. There was no need to be sad, no need to be sad, just move forward with time.
So he gave Li Ke something he wanted, but didn't tell him what would happen to him in the future.
This was the kindness of the Dragon King.
That was what the world had told him, the Dragon King had told him, the gods had told him, and even Kiran had told him.
Li Ke could trust each of these people, and none of them could be trusted. Many of them thought he was important, and many of them thought he wasn't. It was the same whether he was there or not.
"I understand."
Li Ke relaxed. He looked at Aurelian Sol, who was far away yet very close. Countless burdens fell from his heart. Since everything was destined, then …
"Since destruction and rebirth have nothing to do with me, no matter what I do, it won't affect the outcome. This means that I can do whatever I want, right?"
The Dragon King nodded slightly.
"That's right, and that Kyran guy is wrong. Although he can keep some people in Bard's vault, Bard won't take them to the next universe. They will forever remain as golden statues, unable to move or make any sound, but they will still be conscious."
The Dragon King's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Of course, they are still alive and aware of the passing of the world and everything that has happened to them."
His last hope was annihilated, but Li Ke didn't show any regret. Instead, he let out a long sigh and waved at the Dragon King.
"I'm tired. Goodbye."
After that, Li Ke opened the channel to his world again, preparing to travel through the endless sea of nothingness to find his own world.
The Dragon King didn't stop him. Instead, he waved his claws.
"You won't be able to reach your world even if you fly for 10,000 years. Go, my child. Return to your world and see how those people want to treat you."
In an instant, the portal opened by Li Ke, revealing the world that Li Ke was familiar with but rejected him.
The Dragon King wanted Li Ke to see the actions of the gods. This could make him forget the fact that he was a mortal and remove the mortal nature of Li Ke.
The more the mortals forced Li Ke to save them and the more they forced Li Ke to sacrifice himself, the more Li Ke cherished them. After the destruction of the two worlds, the regret and grief that he couldn't save himself as a mortal would allow him to transcend mortals quickly and become a qualified Dragon of Stars.
Li Ke didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that he couldn't do that, so he walked into the portal opened by the Dragon King naturally. But what made the Dragon King an exception was that the moment Li Ke walked through the portal, he …
Raised his middle finger at himself.
"F * ck you!"
Even his own son could not fool him like this!
The Dragon King subconsciously wanted to teach Li Ke a lesson. But he saw Li Ke snap his fingers abruptly and the power that he used to maintain the portal instantly reversed and was absorbed and imitated by his son's unique power.
The portal between the two worlds was closed in an instant, leaving him with no choice but to direct his anger at the void.
"…"
I will definitely give you a good beating after the world is destroyed.
That was the Dragon King's current thought.
…
"That's about it. No matter how I struggle, it's all in vain. That's why I'm tired. So be it if the world is destroyed. I can't do anything about it. "
Li Ke hugged Soraka. Under the watchful eyes of the other goddesses, the one whom he respected the most and who wouldn't have made a move in the past finally made a move and was rather presumptuous.
He hugged Soraka in his arms and the two of them played with a flower rope.
"… Is that why you don't want to go home?"
"That's right. If I don't go back, they can still maintain the thoughts in my heart. Although I believe that they will support my choice, I won't go back and test them … Human nature is to be believed, not tested."
Li Ke let out a slight sigh. The gods had indeed given him a difficult problem. As long as he appeared before his family and friends again, they would have to make a real choice.
Should they destroy Li Ke and fight for a slim hope for themselves or give Li Ke a year or two, or should they let Li Ke ignore them and live his own life?
Li Ke believed that many of his family and friends would choose to trust him after knowing the truth. But he wouldn't take this test.
No matter what he tried, even if it was an exam, human nature couldn't be tested. As a mortal, he understood this very well.
Once the seed of suspicion was planted, no matter how close one was, they would slowly become strangers.
This was the reason why many couples suspected that their other half was having an affair but didn't dare to directly ask and find evidence.
If it was an illusion, if he was overthinking it, then his direct action of asking would be adding more cracks to his relationship.
Humans didn't like it when others doubted them. They always felt that if another person doubted them, they wouldn't be able to go far.
That was why when he returned to this world and used his eyes to read the surveillance and information in this world's network and communication, he made a decision.
He wouldn't go back, at least not now.
Whether it was persuading him to die or supporting him, he wouldn't listen. Because if he went back now, many people would completely disappear from his life.
"I'm sorry, but I can't ignore so many lives."
Soraka's face was full of guilt. She also let Li Ke use her hand as a support to play with the flipping rope. She didn't move at all.
However, Li Ke didn't care, even if this woman was trying to drive a wedge between him and his friends.
He suddenly felt that his past was too tiring. He thought too much and was conflicted too much. He often thought about all these things when he was risking his life and losing.
The meaning of life. How could he become the person he wanted? How could he become the hero of his dreams? Did the people he killed have any difficulties or families? What kind of future would they have if they didn't die?
However, he had never thought about what he would do and what would happen after he became the hero of his dreams.
Would everyone live happily together? Would there be no conflicts or sadness?
That was indeed good. He wasn't afraid of beautiful people that he hadn't met.
However, he seemed to be a little obsessed.
Whether it was with the people around him or with his wife, he was always playing the role of the hero that they wanted him to be. He was never himself.
Now that his dreams and the things he cared about were about to be destroyed, he finally felt tired and the gradual decline of the individual named 'Li Ke.'
He never walked out of the arena and the prison.
The constant threat of death there made him want to die a glorious death. That was why he didn't resist when he was fighting against those experts, nor did he resist when he was fighting against those prisoners.
Because they also wanted to kill him so that they could live.
That was until he met the right audience and actors, those women and children who didn't have the strength to resist. He wanted to be a hero. He wanted his last moments to be what he wanted them to be.
However, he survived. This mentality of his didn't disappear because of his wandering life. Instead, it became a shadow that accompanied him.
And this shadow lasted until his conversation with the Dragon King.
"It's okay. If you make me feel better, I'll forgive you. You know what I like."
"What … do you want to do?"
Soraka was a little confused. She didn't think that Li Ke would want her body so easily.
Speechlessly, Li Ke pinched the sharp horn on Soraka's head. He had wanted to pinch it for a long time. Then, he let go of Soraka and looked at the gods who had arrived.
Wings of light spread out from his back and shattered the throne made of ice and snow. Feathers of light and ice flew into the sky above Mount Everest.
"Do what the Demon King should do!"
