Since coming to Zhongzhou, Zhang Nan's mood has never been so heavy as it is now.

At the beginning, there was the frustration of being unfavorable and pitting with the host, and later there was also the heartache and anger that made Lin Qingqing Nalan Zishuang unconscious because of carelessness. But no matter what kind of things he faces, no matter what kind of emotions Zhang Nan is, in the end, he is nothing more than facing a direct path. Either playing with dim sum or being positive, Zhang Nan has never been entangled in choice, let alone confused.

But now at this moment, Zhang Nan is confused.

I thought it was just a state catastrophe, but I didn't think it was a catastrophe that would destroy the world. Not one state or one place, but the entire state border.

Killing.

The mysterious man didn't say everything, only confided these two words, but at the end, the thunder out of thin air, it is not difficult to know how heavy these two words are.

The mysterious man was undoubtedly forcibly stopped by something because he leaked the secret of heaven. Zhang Nan was even more warned because he had a glimpse of the line.

It was as strong as the Nine Realms Breaking Delusion, and it was an irresistible existence. It was enough to make Zhang Nan's BUG soul unable to resist the terrifying power.

It can be seen from the mysterious person that in the history of Zhongzhou Boundary, there has not been a broken delusional realm. It's just that those who are delusional and strong are hiding.

Of course, they are not shrinking turtles, they are also engaged in some kind of struggle. Although the mysterious man did not say it explicitly, his words were equivalent to claiming to be the guardian of the world.

Whether it is a mysterious person or an earlier predecessor, they are all the guardians of the Zhongzhou border. The mysterious man has always emphasized Zhang Nan's mission, but at the same time, he will emphasize Zhang Nan's cultivation. In other words, these guardians are not designated by anyone, but because the Nine Realms are delusional, they are the threshold of guardians.

Maybe it's a sense of responsibility, maybe it's because it's forced. But all in all, as long as you reach this state, you must undertake such a mission.

The delusional powerhouses have discovered the truth of this world and discovered that the catastrophe of destruction is about to come. In order to get a chance of survival, someone has found this method.

It's cruel, but it's effective. As the mysterious man said, it had been confirmed many times before.

Killing all the creatures in a state, such a terrifying thing, if there is no empirical evidence, even if you do it once, you will not do it again.

It's hard to say a lot of things, and Zhang Nan doesn't know what the empirical evidence is, but at least he can be sure that the World Destruction Tribulation really exists, and the method of sacrificing the lives of a state to postpone it is really effective.

Because the mysterious person leaked the secret of heaven, Zhang Nan didn't know whether he was dead or alive. But even if that person is killed by lightning, most likely someone else will continue to do it. Even if there is no one else, Zhang Nan can't help it no matter how reluctant he is. I don't know if I can wait for death in a daze, but since I know, how can I turn a blind eye. In this game of chess, Zhang Nan must play.

And how to fall, there are only two options.

Whether to let all living beings in the Zhongzhou realm be destroyed, or to sacrifice the soul of a state.

"Grass!" Zhang Nan burst out with a foul word, and kicked Qin Qianqiu, who was still unconscious, "Du Tama, you are harmful, otherwise how would Lao Tzu know about this kind of thing......

Zhang Nan is just an emotional catharsis, not really irrational. After kicking Qin Qianqiu, Zhang Nan squatted there, in a daze.

In the past few years in Zhongzhou, Zhang Nan has actually always regarded himself as a passerby.

As a traverser, his roots are in the earth. What the world will become has nothing to do with him. Many of the predecessors of the crossing also did this, one by one the broken voids, and few of them really took charge of the places after the crossing. But now, Zhang Nan realized that he had actually made this place his home.

Zhang Nan's current entanglement is not only how to choose, but the helplessness and anger in the face of this choice.

It's like someone coming to your house and saying it's either your whole family or you choose one of them for me to beat. It's not a choice, it's an insult.

Being beaten is unacceptable in itself, and you have to take the initiative to choose one to be beaten. Slowly, it's a beating, even if it's a dog or a bird at home, you can't just throw it out and beat people.

Zhang Nan squatted there and was entangled, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he wanted to slap himself. But when I slapped it up, I found that it was slender and fair, a woman's hand.

I almost forgot that this was Situ Xia's real body.

Situ Xia Zhen, Situ Xia Zhen......

Zhang Nan's head buzzed, as if a closed door had been pushed open.

Made, why should I choose?

One state for another, that's the way someone else has set, and it's not mine. In the same game of chess, different people have different chess moves. How to play this game of chess, it's up to me to decide.

Heaven and earth fall, I am the chess player.

Zhang Nan realized.

The mysterious people and the earlier ones who broke the delusion were not chess players at all. They are all chess pieces, chess pieces of the world-destroying calamity, and chess pieces of this heaven and earth.

Their creation of the state catastrophe seems to be fighting against heaven and earth, but in fact, it is a compromise at all, and they have always been constrained by heaven and earth. It can be seen from the mysterious man who said the word murder and robbery, and then attracted thunderous warnings.

If Zhang Nan wants to play this game of chess, he must be a real chess player. Zhang Nan suddenly felt that maybe he did have his own mission when he came to Zhongzhou, but it was definitely not the kind of mysterious person said, to be a puppet of the world-destroying calamity.

Rather, play against the sky.

Zhang Nan is a chess player, a system. And Zhang Nan's chess pieces are Indifferent Xue, Lin Qingqing, and Situ Xiazhen......

It's not appropriate to compare the host to a pawn, and Zhang Nan has never thought so. But at this moment, the hosts are Zhang Nan's sons.

Zhang Nan regards the host as a close friend, a disciple, and a beloved daughter, and has always been careful to take care of him. Even later, I thought of letting them go through the wind and rain on their own, but I never thought about letting them do anything for themselves. Gaining experience is the only requirement. But even this, Zhang Nan wanted to make himself strong out of the need to protect them.

Looking at Situ Xiazhen's hand, Zhang Nan realized that he had made a big mistake before.

He has his mission, and the host has its hosts. No one can stay out of this game, and the hosts have his support and should take on their own obligations.

The truth of the World Tribulation is still hidden, and the delusional powerhouses represented by the mysterious people have not yet appeared. Then from this moment on, Zhang Nan will no longer stand in front of others.

Zhang Nan wants to calm down, hide behind the scenes, and play this game of chess.

Glancing at Qin Qianqiu, Zhang Nan manipulated Situ Xiazhen's body and turned away. Zhang Nan did not kill Qin Qianqiu, nor did he take him away.

For the mysterious man, Qin Qianqiu is his pawn. But at this moment, it is serious in Zhang Nan, and this Great Qin National Master is not even a chess piece at all, but can only be regarded as the dust stirred up when he falls. Killing him will have no effect on the whole plate.

This game of chess is a game of annihilation, and Zhang Nan is playing against the sky.

Situ Xia Zhen has not yet woken up, Lin Qingqing and Nalan Zishuang are still asleep, but Zhang Nan completely stood on the position of the system for the first time, abandoned all emotions, and wrote and released a system task.

It's been a long time since Zhang Nan has written any tasks himself.

Host hosting at every turn, and be a hands-off shopkeeper. Even in an unmanaged state, tasks are often generated automatically. With the relationship between Zhang Nan and the host, many things can be said on their own initiative, and there is no need to go through the system like in the early days.

But this time is different, because this is the main quest.

When he was on Earth, Zhang Nan watched a drama series that mentioned a book called "Heavenly Bureau". One of the characters in the play, and the main character in the book, do something similar.

Play chess against the sky.

The main character in the book wins, at the cost of his life. The character in the play lost, lost his life, and lost his life.

Shengtian half a son, what a spirit.

Zhang Nan also wants to play a game at the moment, but he doesn't want that kind of courage.

Because for Zhang Nan's game of chess, the winner or loser is not a son and a half, but a large number of sentient beings in the Zhongzhou boundary.
