Chapter 701: Chapter 701 So what if I am still a human being
Translator: Doggotranslation
The phrase “the great devil from outer s.p.a.ce” was like a squally rainstorm, causing the flames in the sixth sequence’s eyes to sway left and right as if it could be extinguished at any time.
“I have reached my limit.”
The hollow eye sockets of the sixth sequence flickered, and it sighed, “dying is as natural as living. Life without death is always incomplete. Half a billion years has long since become an ordeal… Chu, the ones you love, though they are all dead, you are still more fortunate than me because they loved you to the end of their lives, but those who I loved thought that I was a traitor to the end of their lives. What is sadder is that I never had the opportunity to explain it to them. Now that finally, I’m going to die. Chu, it’s a relief that I’m looking forward to, and perhaps only you can understand.
I have seen countless reincarnations of yours in the node, and I know that you are wary and distrustful of others, and I know that you will not inherit the G.o.dhood, but at the end of my life, I have fulfilled my promise to the fourth Baktun, so whether you believe me or not, I don’t care about it now, because I have already said what I want to say.”
The sixth sequence body shook, the flame in its eyes gradually dimmed as it started to go out. He no longer knelt towards the square cauldron, but sat on the steps wearily, looking at the non-existent sky and universe above its head, revealing its endless longing.
“Wait!” Chu Yunsheng hurriedly said, “I still have questions!”
The sound of the sixth sequence was ethereal as if floating from the void, and gradually weakened, “Chu, no one can answer all your questions, not to mention, I am just a little Tzolk’in being… Remember my words, before the final war, try to use your Wuzi Fragment to store a little more black energy, otherwise, it will not be able to support another reincarnation. If you can’t kill yourself before you are born, you will not be able to deceive the node, and you must kill all the other invading consciousnesses in the node before the end of this reincarnation, No.1, and the seventh sequence…”
As the sound of the sixth sequence became smaller and smaller, the flame in its eye sockets became weaker and weaker. In the end, it flickered a few times, like a sign of a power failure, suddenly dimmed, and finally completely extinguished. The light that flowed from its bones vanished, and its head froze and stared in the direction of the sky.
Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and then used the black energy to verify that it was indeed dead, and there were no longer any energy fluctuations and consciousness remaining. With a sigh, his eyes moved from the foot of the sixth sequence to the bottom of the altar, watching those who died in the doomsday experiment. The light in his eyes moved frequently, and it gradually became clear. In the end, he turned his head, looked at the sixth sequence again, and said,
“The sixth sequence, in fact, no matter if what you said is true or false, it will be the same for me now, because I will have only one decision. Since you all want the G.o.dhood, I will give it to you. Although I am only a low-level human being, I really don’t have the intention to fight with you. If my daughter is safe, I just want to accompany her for the rest of my life; but if she was already killed by you people, then even if it was G.o.d’s Kingdom that did it, I will destroy them myself!”
Chu Yunsheng understood that an innocent man could get into trouble because of the valuable thing he had. In the end, it was still the problem with G.o.dhood. It would be fine if he could really inherit G.o.dhood. However, any investment would be risky, let alone something like this. But no matter how credible the message that the sixth sequence said was, even if it was completely fabricated, the content of the words was very true. It made Chu Yunsheng clearly understand one truth of the universe – how could the people of the kingdom of G.o.d let a human being, a low-level creature, inherit G.o.dhood? There was not even a chance of one in a billion!
Therefore, instead of carrying a G.o.dhood that he was impossible to inherit and being hunted down everywhere, it was better to throw it away, let those pretentious higher beings fight each other over it, and then use this opportunity to free himself from this ordeal.
In this way, although it seemed that he would lose a great opportunity, this opportunity would only get himself killed.
So what if he was still a lowly human being?
Even if he was able to inherit the G.o.dhood, underneath that flashy t.i.tle, he was still a human being.
No.1 was actually right. One’s greatest courage was to face one’s most real situation.
To deceive yourself and live in fantasy was the real weakness.
Although Chu Yunsheng was not smart enough to distinguish between the truths and lies of No. 1 and the sixth sequence, it did not prevent him from learning from their words.
Therefore, there was only one problem now – how to separate G.o.dhood away from him. Although it may be difficult to separate the G.o.dhood, Chu Yunsheng believed that since they all wanted to get it, there must be a way. It was just that he didn’t know it at the moment. However, once he found out a way, whether it was the node or his own imagination, all the problems would be solved instantly.
Without the G.o.dhood, who would waste time on him, an ordinary human being?
Of course, those who should be killed, he would also use this opportunity to kill them, so as to avoid endless troubles in the future.
After thinking about it, and making a decision, Chu Yunsheng released the green-sh.e.l.led insect, mounted its back, and flew away.
In order to prevent No. 1 from intercepting him outside, Chu Yunsheng did not go back from the original path but came out of the ground from another underground crack.
Before he was able to separate the G.o.dhood, he could not die in the battle. He indeed did not have much black energy. So regardless of what the sixth sequence said was a lie or not, he shouldn’t take the risk now.
The place he crawled out was a dense mountain forest. In the darkness, he couldn’t see anything clearly nor could he hear many sounds around him. In the silence, there were a few roars of wild beasts or dark age creatures, but their existence was no threat to him.
There were no flying machines in the sky, and no miniature spy robots on the ground. It seemed that No.1 either went to the wrong place to intercept him or was not ready to fight him here.
After cautiously waiting in the dark mountain forest for about an hour, Chu Yunsheng got up and released the green-sh.e.l.led insect after confirming that there was no large-scale energy fluctuation around him. Flying low in the air, he searched for nearby towns or villages to determine his current location, reoriented, and returned to Shanghai.
In the great darkness where the glimmer has not yet appeared, if there was no natural light source, it was difficult to find even the houses close at hand, let alone something further away. So finding a village or a town in the mountain forest was mainly based on luck.
Chu Yunsheng’s luck today was neither good nor bad. He had searched around in the dark but failed to find any village or town. When he tried to search further away, A few shaking light spots in the dark attracted him.
At such a long distance, it was impossible to hear any sound from the light spots. Out of caution, Chu Yunsheng approached slowly. Once there were signs of danger, he would immediately pull up the green-sh.e.l.led insect and flew straight into the sky.
About ten minutes later, Chu Yunsheng approached these light spots quietly from mid-air.
Although the light spots were dim, even if it was a little bit, it would become extremely conspicuous in the dark world. When Chu Yunsheng got closer, he began to see hazy building shadows caused by the light spots.
It was a city or at least a town!
Chu Yunsheng immediately made a judgment intuitively and issued an order to the green-sh.e.l.led insect to approach those buildings.
At this time, he was even closer to the light spots, and he had already started to hear people’s screams. The light spots were either flashlights or torches. The green-sh.e.l.led insect was very fast. Soon, Chu Yunsheng could see more than a dozen figures running in panic, and behind them was a huge, ugly creature.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to get involved. In order not to cause unnecessary movement, he directly let the green-sh.e.l.led insect carry him from the air into a building that looked like a business building in the light.
But when he sealed the green-sh.e.l.led insect back into the talisman at an extremely fast speed, activated the battle armor, went into the hole in the building, and turned on the flashlight, he was stunned. The building turned out to be densely packed with people. All the people were looking at him in panic and fear.
These people were originally sitting on the ground, but when they saw him coming in, they all quickly moved backward and crowded together in fear, leaving a large s.p.a.ce.
In the light of the torch, it could be clearly seen that they have not eaten a full meal for a long time. All of them had the word hunger written on their faces; their expressions were dull, their clothes were torn, and they all curled up together. There were men, women, old and young. Chu Yunsheng could imagine that before long, these people would either die of starvation, die of disease, or be eaten by monsters, and if they survive, they might start to eat other people.
Those were human beings too.
Without the ancient book, he would’ve been one of them, and there was no doubt about that.
So a voice in his mind suddenly asked himself:
“Are you ready? Are you really ready? This is a test of true courage! Walking from light into darkness, falling from the sky into the abyss, maybe you can be reborn from the ashes, but at the same time, you may also die because of being ordinary.”
“Some things are easy to say, but you know how difficult it will be when you actually start to do them!”
“It may not be difficult to separate the G.o.dhood. But it will be difficult for you to make a choice. On the one hand, you will suffer from having a power that other people dream of. On the other hand, although you will probably be reborn, you will also die because of being ordinary.”
“So what will you choose!?”
