Chapter 322: Recall
- "If you refuse to give up anything, what can you gain?"
Whether it is the law of conservation of strength or the philosophical idea of 'giving', no matter what world you are in, if you want to gain something, you must lose something.
If you want eternal life, you have to endure eternal loneliness.
If you want to gain invincible power, you will lose the opportunity to be a human being.
If you want to become a flesh-and-blood person, then you must lose all your power.
This was originally a completely irreversible theorem, but Kaguya gave Lin Bai a chance to reverse at this moment, but the price paid was all his strength.
What should I do now?
Although Kaguya had disappeared and given him time to think about it, Lin Bai's eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and he didn't know how to choose.
Think about it.
- "First question. β
Lin Bai shook his dry index finger and walked back and forth in the main hall: "I became a human being, the only purpose is to pursue Ellie, and to be with Ellie forever, if I can't be with Ellie, then even if I become a human, is there any meaning?"
- "Completely pointless!"
- "Second question. β
Lin Bai stretched out a second finger: "If I become a human, I can be with Ellie, maybe I have the opportunity to pursue Ellie?"
- "Absolutely impossible!"
Lin Bai immediately confidently denied: "I have lost my strength, even if Ellie is willing to accept me, I don't have the ability to stay by her side, so there is no point in becoming a human being now." β
- "The third question. β
Lin Bai's fingers turned into three: "If I don't return to being a human, can I pursue Ellie, or stay by Ellie's side?"
- "Chance: 0 percent!"
After asking and answering himself, Lin Bai already understood how to choose.
Whether he is restored to a human or continues to be an undead, there is absolutely no possibility that he will continue to be by Ellie's side, and without Ellie by his side, then no matter where he goes, he will be lonely in the eternal night.
Unless......
Unless you can retain the power to become human!
But according to Kaguya, this is completely impossible, and there are only two options left for him, either become an ordinary human or gain invincible power.
Since the result is all the same.
Lin Bai decided to keep the status quo, blindly changing the status quo will only make the past unrecognizable, so there is no need to change anything, maybe he is a lonely person by nature, and a lonely person is not worthy of love, not worthy of friendship.
Bless it.
The soul fire in Lin Bai's eyes was beating, and he wanted to make a smiling expression, but he couldn't put on any expression anyway, so he could only say softly to the distance: "I wish you a future full of happiness and joy, from today on, Lin Bai is dead, and only the undead are left in the city of the undead, except for the undead, there is nothing else." β
- The King of the Dead!
Lin Bai's name has indeed disappeared, I'm afraid no one will remember it except for Ellie and Boleyn, and Tina and Vess, who are still in Knorr City, he came to this world alone, and now he is also lonely and dead.
But!
His other name swept through the rain country when the flames burned the plains.
Legend has it that on the Evil Dragon Ridge of Tenglong City, a city of the undead has risen and is so high that it cannot be broken unless it is a god.
Legend has it that the city of the dead in the Evil Dragon Ridge is inhabited by millions of undead, eight thousand god-level, and three thousand super gods!
Legend has it that the legion of the undead is ruled by a terrifying being known as the Undead King, who wears a bronze mask and holds a staff made from the spine of a god. γ
When you are angry, all beasts are frightened, and the city will be destroyed with a wave of your hand!
Whether it is the destruction of Tenglong City, or the destruction of the first mercenary group and the third mercenary group of the mercenary union, it has cast a veil of mystery over the city of the undead, and the only nightmare mercenary group that came back alive from the city of the dead has never said anything about the city, and the only thing that is provided is the general strength of the city, as well as the video that proves that everything is true.
Forbidden Land of the Undead!
The Rain Country officially announced that the Evil Dragon Ridge will be listed as a forbidden place for the undead, no matter who it is, they will no longer be able to enter the City of the Undead, and violators will be punished as crimes against humanity!
Crimes against humanity.
This is a more serious crime than treason, and if you commit treason, you can flee to other countries, and if you commit a crime against humanity, then as long as you are in the southern region, then you will not escape death.
Why does this sin occur?
The reason, of course, is that the secrets of antiquity have been revealed step by step, and the legend that the entire southern region was ruled by necromancers 10,000 years ago has also been passed on to the people.
Therefore, it is already one hundred percent certain that the City of the Dead is the product of ancient necromancers.
Since there is no action in the City of the Dead now, of course the Rain Country does not dare to let people disturb the tranquility of the City of the Dead, so it simply sets it up as a forbidden place and sends people to keep an eye on the entire Evil Dragon Ridge from time to time.
They're scared!
Afraid that one day the undead will come from the Evil Dragon Ridge, when any resistance is meaningless, after 10,000 years of degeneration, human beings have long passed the peak of force, in ancient times, when the god level was all over the ground, it was still served by others, just with two or three of the current holy level, I want to defend against the army of the undead?
That's just a joke!
Because the only solution that the Eighteenth could think of was not to offend the Evil Dragon Ridge, so that the sword of Damoris hanging over his head would not suddenly fall on his head.
There was another thing that the XVIII had not thought of either.
He rubbed his temples, and Ellie in front of the desk said, "Tell me in detail, why did you sneak away to the Evil Dragon Ridge for me? It's because of your nowhere Lin boy who did such a stupid thing?!"
"Father, you are not qualified to speak of me!"
Ellie's face was full of anger: "Why did you deceive my mother that she was critically ill? Is this kind of indiscriminate method really what a king of a country should do? It's unbelievable!"
"Ahem, ahemβ"
The Eighteenth was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not doing this for your good, there is a city of the dead in the Evil Dragon Ridge, you probably don't know how terrifying it is, right?" β
"Do you mean the bone dragon or the lich?"
Ellie snorted and said, "Those two kinds of undead have indeed surpassed the god level, but I believe that they must also obey his orders, as long as he is there, those undead will definitely not harm me, even if they are beyond the god level!"
Ellie is especially convinced of this.
From beginning to end, he was not harmed in the city of the dead, even when the undead went berserk, it was only the Nightmare Mercenary Group and Garion who were shocked and vomited blood, but she didn't feel anything.
"Bone Dragon, Lich, Beyond God?"
The eighteenth was a little confused, he suddenly stood up and walked in front of Ellie, and circled around Ellie twice before he said distressedly: "My precious daughter, what good things have you done? How could you meet an existence beyond the god level? You really didn't suffer any harm, right? If they dare to bully you, I will go to the Evil Dragon Ridge now!"
"Don't be pretty!"
Ellie didn't eat the eighteenth set at all: "As far as your shrimp soldiers and crab generals are concerned, it's not enough for the bone dragon to breathe, I just want to know what you are doing with me coming back, if there is no reason, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." β
Ellie did get angry.
Otherwise, she would definitely not give no face to her father, and if it was a normal situation, she would have bowed obediently and respected his father's opinion.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Seeing the failure to change the topic, the eighteenth world said embarrassedly: "Well, there is indeed a thing, and it is not a trivial matter, and it has something to do with you, otherwise of course I will not stop you from playing outside for two more days." β
"I never knew that you felt so sorry for me, Father. β
"That's because you don't understand your father!"
The eighteenth generation straightened his face and said: "I want to ask you a very important thing now, Ellie, you need to answer me truthfully, don't hide anything, this is related to your happiness in the second half of your life and the future direction of the rain country." β
Hearing the eighteenth tone, Ellie's nerves tensed.
She knew that her father could not tolerate the slightest joke when talking about business, and since this matter was so important, Ellie would naturally follow her father's orders carefully, but she never thought that the first words of the eighteenth generation would make her stunned.
"Are you still interested in that prince of the Left of the Sunny Country?"
"Father, what do you mean...... Marriage Engagement?!"
The eighteenth nodded and said: "Things are completely beyond my expectations, the left faction of the Qing Kingdom suddenly exerted its strength, and it seems that with the help of several god-level professionals, the right faction was uprooted overnight, and the next day he ascended the throne as the emperor, and declared war on the surrounding five countries at the same time." β
"When did this happen?"
Ellie's face changed slightly, if all the surrounding five countries fell, then of course it would be the turn of the rain country next, although the rain country was indeed friendly with the leftists, but there was also no formal contract between them.
"The Five Kingdoms are gone!"
The eighteenth frowned and said: "The five kingdoms did not support the next week, they were all destroyed, although our rain country is indeed slightly stronger than the five kingdoms, but it is still too weak compared to the clear country, now I want to know, do you have any feelings for that prince, are you willing to marry the clear country?"
"Could it be that Qingguo has put pressure on you?!"
"What if I say yes to them, what happens if I don't say yes to them?"
Ellie keenly felt the meaning of this sentence, if it wasn't for Qingguo putting pressure on her father, then her father would definitely not be in such a hurry to get her back, even at the expense of that unforgivable excuse.
"It's not something you should worry about. β
The eighteenth generation said with a murderous expression: "You only need to answer me, whether you want to marry Qingguo or not, you don't need to think about other things, this is not your responsibility!" 10
