Chu Ge shuddered deeply.

On the faces of these close relatives and friends, the facial features are still vaguely in memory, but the expressions are both strange and familiar.

It was as if someone had copied their faces, creating a series of exquisite, soulless masks that bloomed into stiff and eerie smiles.

"What the hell are you?"

Chu Ge felt dizzy for a while, he looked at the gradually blurred world around him, "What kind of place is this, what do you want to do?" ”

"This is Lingshan!"

The little palace master smiled, "It's the new earth that you saved, the new spirit mountain, don't you really remember, president?" ”

"That's right, you have unparalleled strength, supremacy, and enjoy the cheers and worship of hundreds of millions of people."

Xu Yuyi smiled sweetly, "Isn't all this what you want in your heart and hope for the most?" ”

"Power...... No, it's not! ”

Chu Ge gritted his teeth, with the sharp pain between his lips and teeth, to keep himself awake as much as possible, he stared at these guys wearing masks, word by word, and said with difficulty, "I don't believe that I can save the whole world just by relying on my own strength, and I don't believe that I can swallow all the surging ancient divine power hidden in the ancient ruins, I don't like this even more, this future where everyone worships and reveres me like a god and demon, I don't like these damn statues, I don't like these intoxicated people, I don't like you who keep calling me 'President'!

"The future in my mind shouldn't be like this, and I, and I will never tolerate the future like this!"

"So, what should the future look like in your mind?"

Those who wore the masks of their loved ones had stiff smiles, as if there were invisible cracks blooming on the ingenious masks.

"If I really get unimaginably huge power in the ancient ruins, I am very sure that I will not be able to monopolize it, nor can I completely control it, besides, it is too lonely for one person to devour such a huge amount of ancient power and then become a god and demon high above."

Chu Ge took a deep breath, his soul becoming more and more determined, "I will invite my dear relatives and friends, as well as heroes who have been tested by war for a long time and are willing to fight for their homeland, their compatriots, and the whole earth, to share and study this power together."

"The foundation of the earth's civilization is that all people are created equal, and no one should be higher than the other, so when we study the mystery of the primeval power, we will definitely open this power to the seven billion citizens of the world, as long as they are willing and able to endure hardship, all people have the right to learn and use this power.

"When the time comes, it will be a matter of course for all the people of the earth to cultivate the power of the primeval world, just like we learn "Eye Exercises" and "Radio Gymnastics".

"The battle to defend our homeland should not be fought by a god and demon who has the power of the primeval, but by the seven billion earthlings who have the power of the primeval power, so if we really achieve the final victory, we should not erect a statue of a hero, but a statue of thousands of unknown heroes.

"In such a future, people do not need to cheer for any heroes, they only need to rejoice for their efforts and sacrifices, and enjoy the luscious fruits of victory, and that is enough!"

The smiles of these things, wearing the masks of their loved ones, grew stiffer and stiffer.

"Everyone has selfishness, everyone wants to have unparalleled power, are you so selfless and willing to share your unique opportunity with others?"

They spoke in unison, their voices filled with thick confusion.

"That's right, everyone has selfishness, of course I also have my own selfishness and desires, but I am not a fool, I know that I can't let my selfishness and desires be infinitely magnified, and finally be completely swallowed by it."

Chu Ge said, "When I was a teenager, my family conditions were not good, and I was just a poor boy with no name, I did think in my daydream that I wanted to be glorious and rich, to be invincible in the world, to cover the sky with one hand, to be powerful in all directions, to make all men afraid of me, and all women liked me."

"But after really embarking on this path of pursuing the 'strongest', I found that there is no end to this road, and it may not be so pleasant to be really high.

"The most important thing for people is to be able to recognize themselves, and I finally realized that I am not a very ambitious person, or that I am not willing to pay those unbearable prices for the infinitely inflated desires.

"I finally know that no matter what level my strength and status are raised, my homeland and my roots will always be in the ordinary residential community at the urban-rural junction of Lingshan City, as long as I can fulfill my mother's last wish, and live a plain and happy life with Xu Jun, Xu Promise, Aunt Bai and the neighbors in the community, I will be satisfied.

"As for what kind of hero to be, what limelight to be in the limelight, what Three Realms to crisscross and what heroes to crush, these are just to live their own small lives without interference, just a means, not an end.

"If I am obsessed with the majesty of the world and the majesty of the world, but gradually forget my original intention, wouldn't I put the cart before the horse?"

"President, you've let us down so much."

The promise on the opposite side and the small palace master said quietly, "We originally thought that you were a hero who stood up to the sky, but we didn't expect you to be so ambitious, and you obviously had the opportunity to get the power to destroy the world, but you didn't know how to cherish it, but instead shrank back." ”

"Everyone who faces life seriously and pursues their own ordinary and small happiness is a hero who stands up to the sky, and if he has the power to destroy the world, he will definitely become a monster who destroys the world, and even destroys himself."

Chu Ge's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the Devouring Beast and Devouring the Empire, he sneered, "If you get lost on the road of pursuing the supreme power, take power as the goal, and end up being crushed by too powerful power, your own soul, wouldn't it become an effort of strength and devour yourself?"

"Look at all this around, look at these nondescript ugly statues, look at the monkey crown dress on my body, look at these soulless people, look at you who are only promised-I remember that when I entered the primeval ruins, I wanted to stop the mastermind behind the Celestial Organization 'Meng Ma', seize all the power of the primordial people, and become the only god and demon in the world, but in this damn future, what is the difference between me and Meng Ma back then?

"Wait, ...... back then"

Chu Ge's heart sank.

Suddenly, I felt that the information flow that had been forcibly poured into my mind had all turned into mottled fragments.

The vivid colors of the world around us are also like oil paintings eroded by time, peeling off piece by piece, revealing an ugly whiteness.

"I see."

Chu Ge's heart was as clear as water, looking at the fragmented things with these masks around him, he sneered, "I'll just say, pies won't fall from the sky, and my daydreams won't come true for no reason, you are not Xu Jun at all, Xu Promise and the little palace master are all fake, you can't fool me!" ”

The masks of their loved ones melted like plasticine burned by flames.

From under the peeling oil paint, a shiny silver body is revealed, like a lump of liquid metal as muddy.

The surrounding world, which combines the styles of the earth, the immortal cultivation realm and the illusion realm, and the incomparably prosperous Xinling Mountain, also collapsed like a tall tower on the beach, and the high-rise buildings poured down like quicksand, merging with the sluggish crowd on the street, turning into a river of silver quicksand.

The existence formed by the condensation of those liquid metals still surrounded Chu Ge, constantly screaming.

"We're all real, really!"

"Even if it's not now, we can make it real if you want to!"

"What do you want, can't the supreme power and supremacy attract you?"

"Women, or do you want women, let's say, no matter how much you want, we can satisfy you, 10,000, 100,000, 1 million, even if you want all the women in the world to surrender to your feet, we can do it!"

"No need, as I just said, the most important thing for people is to see themselves clearly and recognize the boundaries of their own desires."

Chu Ge said coldly, "Suppose I change it three times a day, for an hour each time, and I change it every time, then I need a maximum of ninety to one hundred women every month, one thousand two hundred a year, twelve thousand in ten years, and one hundred years to reach one hundred thousand."

In that case, what is the point of a million or more women?

"If somebody wants a million women and goes crazy for that purpose, either he's stupid or he's too short.

"If women are like this, isn't it true of strength? So, don't be delusional, I'm going to put the cart before the horse, lose myself, look at my face – do you think I'm too stupid, or is it too short? ”
