MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1400 - 375: The True Reason for the Death of the Titan King of the Hundred Thousand Mountains
"So, are you telling me all this because you want me to do something?" Lu Hong asked, voicing his inquiry.
In response, both the God of Space and the God of Time slightly shook their heads: "You overthink, and besides, your strength is too weak to change anything. Perhaps if given a million more years to grow, you might have a chance to confront the Taichu Evil Thought, but right now, it’s utterly impossible, and you simply don’t have that much time to grow. We’re just here to answer your doubts, which is considered fulfilling Nelothus’s last wishes."
To this, Lu Hong took a deep breath, realizing he indeed might not be the savior material. Though when he first transmigrated, he harbored certain ideas, viewing himself as the savior of this world. Therefore, in many major events of the Star Sea, he considered himself a savior, running around for the Human Race, getting into perilous situations, but as his power increased, he saw even greater beings.
At least, the current God of Space and God of Time, either one could easily erase him with a flick of a finger. Without sufficient strength, what would he use to change anything? To save?
Moreover, this didn’t seem to be a salvation act.
The actions of the Taichu Evil Thought are aimed at reviving Taichu. Is the Taichu Evil Thought not Taichu itself?
In the past, Taichu sacrificed himself, offering his life to create the prosperous world today. Now, Taichu wishes to revive and personally experience the beauty of the world, why shouldn’t he? Is Taichu destined to be the one who sacrifices himself?
Therefore, looking at this matter rationally, there is actually no right or wrong in essence.
It’s just a matter of different standpoints.
The same applies to many matters in this world. From different perspectives, what needs to be fought for and protected naturally varies. What others see as evil paths might be the bright avenues suitable for oneself.
Lu Hong didn’t dwell on this topic further. Everyone has their own opinions and viewpoints. All who live under the Taichu Blessing World naturally do not wish to die, so wanting to revive Taichu is a human nature. But he is not of this world. If Taichu revives, then what will happen to him? Will he be directly killed? Or will Taichu use the aura on him to trace back to the world he originally belonged to?
In his contemplation, Lu Hong turned his head to look at the God of Time and asked: "Why were I sent to the Era of the Gods in the Star Sea back then? Also, was my travel to the Ancient Heavenly Continent deliberate on your part?"
This doubt had actually been buried in Lu Hong’s heart for a long time. He had asked the God of Time before, but the other party didn’t give an answer.
At this moment, asking again might finally yield an answer.
As expected, the God of Time hesitated for a moment, deliberating on his words, before speaking: "Do you really wish to know?"
Lu Hong nodded: "Is there a danger of death just knowing this secret?"
"No, but I fear you may not comprehend it." The God of Time slowly stated: "Your two travels are necessary. It’s a cycle, a temporal order. If you hadn’t experienced those two travels, then the world order created by Taichu would have directly collapsed, leaving everyone lost in the chaotic river of time, or, the Taichu Will may forcibly erase your existence to protect itself."
Hearing the God of Time’s explanation, Lu Hong was even more confused: "Why is that?"
"You haven’t truly grasped the Time Law, so you may find it hard to comprehend. If Nelothus hadn’t seen everything that happened to you in the past through the river of time, perhaps you wouldn’t need to undergo travels, and I wouldn’t need to pay a huge price to send you back to the past. But the problem is Nelothus saw it. He saw your past, so all your past actions must happen. This is a time loop. If the time loop is broken, we will be plunged into chaos and collapse, leading to total annihilation."
Saying this, the God of Time sighed softly: "As I keep comprehending the Time Law, the Law evolved in the Taichu World is ultimately still a basic kind. The world is not complete. Even if I grasped one hundred percent of the Time Law, I still couldn’t truly master time, and I can’t change or prevent this loop."
"A time loop?" Lu Hong questioned: "So according to what you say, our world has always been in a loop? Isn’t time supposed to move in a single forward direction? Where does the loop come from? If a loop is indeed necessary, does it not mean everything will end in the future, and this world is merely repeatedly repeating itself? Are all future occurrences already predetermined?"
"This..." The God of Time found himself at a loss for words due to Lu Hong’s profound questions and sighed helplessly: "Don’t ask me either. Even though I grasp the Time Law, as I just mentioned, the Law of the Taichu World is quite basic and low-level, making it impossible for me to understand or master everything you mentioned. Perhaps, as you said, the future’s time perishes, everything backtracks to the beginning, and this world has always been operating in a cyclical manner."
Being a former transmigrator, Lu Hong was not unfamiliar with such temporal theories, having seen such movies and novels. A series of questions surprised even the God of Time, yet Lu Hong fell into contemplation again: "Then that can’t be right. If time is always in a loop, doesn’t my transmigration make me an anomaly in this time loop, breaking this special cycle?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Space chimed in, nodding in agreement: "Maybe your claim holds a significant possibility. Unfortunately, we cannot touch the truth of this issue. The greatest challenge lying before us is the awakening of the Taichu Evil Thought a hundred years later. The awakened Taichu Evil Thought, having nearly gathered half of the Titan God King’s essence blood, can be said to hold at least half of Taichu’s power. This power is enough to shake everything in this world. At that time, the other party will surely launch an apocalypse for this world. For you, I might be able to help you survive this apocalyptic war, yet you’ll have to endure the solitude of a thousand years yourself."
Hearing this, Lu Hong raised an eyebrow: "Why help me?"
"Perhaps I just want someone to witness if this world’s end truly falls into the cycle you described!"
"Thanks, but I don’t need it." Lu Hong directly refused the offer of goodwill and then said, "May I ask for another favor from you?"
To which the God of Time smiled slightly, waving his hand: "Do you want us to eradicate the Kai Family of the Titan Clan?"
"Uh..." Lu Hong felt a bit awkward. He hadn’t even mentioned it yet, so how did the other party know?
Having lived for so many years, these main gods have indeed become quite keen!
"Is it not feasible?" Lu Hong didn’t deny it. The power of the Kai Family exceeded his expectations, particularly the strongest in the Kai Family, Kaisi, whom Qin Hong couldn’t defeat. Even in the end, Qin Hong would lose.
As of now, Lu Hong’s strength might be even weaker than Qin Hong’s. Even if he involved himself, it might not help the Dark Continent overturn and counterattack the Kai Family.
Therefore, he set his sights on these two main gods, as dealing with the Kai Family would likely be a mere flick of the hand for them. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Naturally not. Although it’s an effortless task, it’s completely unnecessary under the current circumstances. Is such a matter still important? Moreover, Titans were transformed by the aura of Taichu’s Essence Blood, even if very faint. The more Titans die, the stronger the Taichu Evil Thought’s strength will be upon resurrection in the future. I might suggest you hold your hands and make peace. Besides, there are those in the Kai Family who have found their own true paths, paths not bound by Taichu World’s blessing. This path might be the key to dealing with Taichu Evil Thought. Since we can’t alter our powers, it’s better to leave some hope for the future. After all, haven’t you also accepted that Sword Dao of Jin Wudi? Isn’t that not a path of this world? If not, why would the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King cherish talent so much? But unfortunately, such a path is a deadly path for Taichu Evil Thought. Even though Jin Wudi and the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King fought in the Endless Void, that unique Sword Dao was like a beacon in the night for the Taichu Evil Thought, so bright that the Taichu Evil Thought located the hidden Dark Continent in the Endless Void, influenced the mindset of the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King, drained Jin Wudi, and then manipulated the six great families of the Titan Clan to join forces in killing the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King. If it’s something that the Taichu Evil Thought feels threatened by, perhaps it’s precisely what we must protect and hope for."
