Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.
Until he fell into a terrifying w...
From the first time he heard of the existence of the first person in the City of Anle until now, Wu Xiangwang finally knew his name for sure.
That name was also the one he had in mind.
In fact, he had met that person a long time ago, recruited him into the team, and completed missions with him, although now that he knew the answer, that person disappeared again.
But I finally have a definite answer to the thing I have always wanted to know, and this answer is consistent with what I hoped for, which is also a kind of luck.
Well, maybe it can be considered a special kind of fate.
Where is the Bloody Wanted Order? You and I, you and I.
I hope this wanted list starts with you and ends with me.
Wu Xiangwang felt a brief moment of joy, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at the strange turtle: "But he still failed in the end, didn't he?"
Although it was a question, there was affirmation in the words.
Jiu Qian Sui had nothing to hide so he nodded.
If that human had succeeded, there wouldn't be more and more human adventurers in this world, and they wouldn't have been unable to leave for hundreds of years.
If that human had succeeded, the strange world we live in today probably wouldn’t be what it is today.
"Of course he failed. Even though he was the most powerful and determined human adventurer I've ever met, he still failed."
"But... in your words, he lost with honor."
Jiu Qian Sui said this as if he was recalling the battle a hundred years ago that made the heaven and earth tremble.
The indescribable shock that was still hard to forget even after a hundred years made his body tremble slightly.
"He will inevitably fail."
Jiu Qian Sui suddenly said this.
"Although he has awakened a powerful force, a force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, he is ultimately only a human."
"Of the ten humans who came with him, three defected to the Weird, or rather, quickly accepted the Wisdom King's power and transformed it into a new Weird. The remaining surviving humans, while not defecting to the Weird, also disagreed with his unprepared revenge and return to the capital city by city."
"The remaining human felt that it was too difficult to fight the entire world alone. He wanted to understand why humans had fallen into this world, why humans could awaken new abilities in this world, and why they had to pass through the ten major cities before leaving this world.
He felt that more and more people would fall into this world in the future. If he could not leave here while he was still alive, he should at least leave a spark of fire for those who came after him.
If this fire can be passed down from generation to generation and gathered bit by bit, then one day they will be able to leave.
So he did not go with Yuan."
Jiu Qian Sui said this, looking at Wu Xiang Wang. "If it were you, what would you choose? Would you fight with all your might for revenge, or would you gather your strength for later?"
Wu Xiangwang thought about this problem seriously.
In the end, I found it difficult to give an accurate answer.
"...Rationally, gathering strength for later is probably a more prudent option."
"but."
Wu Xiangwang smiled and said, "If it were me, I would prefer an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
Jiu Qian Sui hissed, "So you're also a brutal and practical fighter!"
I can't believe that this clean-looking boss is such a cruel person.
Wu Xiangwang shook his head seriously: "I am a practical fighter, but not a radical and brutal one."
"If someone hits me, of course I hit back. If someone cheats me, of course I cheat back. But, my methods are probably a little gentler than Yuan's, right?"
Jiu Qian Sui couldn't imagine what a gentle and practical person would be like: "What about an example?"
Wu Xiangwang looked at him and said, "Hmm, I'll probably assassinate the lords of the ten major cities, causing chaos in the strange world, and then kill Wisdom."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and the King of Wisdom must die."
"And if the King of Wisdom is killed, the strangeness of this world probably won't be so much of a barrier to humanity returning to Earth."
Nine Thousand Years Old: “…”
"You see, that's why I say I'm a moderate, practical person."
No, I think you are a cunning and sinister person.
"But if I have enough strength, I won't need to use any tricks or schemes. I can just kill my way out like Yuan did."
Wu Xiangwang looked at the strange turtle and said, "I don't believe Yuan is a person who only knows how to kill, doesn't think, and doesn't care about the future."
"So what exactly happened? What tricks did the Prince of Wisdom use on Yuan?"
Jiuqian Sui's heart skipped a beat.
For a moment, I felt guilty and looked left and right but didn't dare to look directly at this new human leader.
Then his core was beaten again.
Turtle Nine rolled over in his shell on the ground in agony: "Turtle didn't say anything! Turtle was just thinking about the language!"
"Wisdom did use something on Yuan. But in the end, Wisdom was not completely successful."
"He...planted the seeds of arrogance in that human's body."
Wu Xiangwang's brows twitched violently.
The turtle curled himself up into a ball to avoid facing the boss's gloomy face.
"Those ten humans were actually all planted with something like wisdom."
Wu Xiangwang sighed and closed his eyes.
Yes, Wisdom has read the Book of Destiny. Since He will take these humans away on His own initiative, how could He not know what will happen in the future?
From the very beginning, the King of Wisdom had a mentality of exploiting these humans. He cut off the path to peaceful coexistence among humans from the very beginning.
Even now, the weird ones use humans as food and slaves.
"I don't know what Wisdom planted in the hearts of other humans, but I know that it planted the seeds of arrogance in the Abyss."
"When the killing begins, that seed will take root and sprout in Yuan's heart, and then he will kill his way to the capital."
"The fact that the seed sprouted only means that the human being had the arrogance to make it sprout. He was originally an arrogant and self-confident person."
"When the bloody wanted poster floats over the entire strange world, even the most powerful person, who can fight ten thousand alone, will be swarmed by countless strange creatures to become his enemy."
"Even gods can fall."
What's more, it was just one person.
Jiu Qian Sui stopped talking at this point, as if the story had come to an end.
But do not forget to look at Him: "So how did He die in the end? Was He killed by those endless strange things?"
The turtle nodded strangely.
Wu Xiangwang smiled and said, "Then, can you tell me what the 'Weird King' who was above the Lord of Wisdom was doing during the battle a hundred years ago?"
"What role did the Lord of Wisdom play in the final battle? Did he fight Yuan?"
"For such a turbulent story, the ending is a bit too sloppy."
Jiu Qian Sui silently retracted his neck and the other four legs into his tortoise shell.
Even though his Yuan core was beaten again by the fierce creatures in Wu Xiangwang's sea of consciousness, He did not say anything.
"The final battle will be at the Grand Palace in the capital."
"At that time, countless monsters fell at the feet of the human dragon, and the dragon walked step by step into the palace."
"Blood and fear followed him with every step he took, and the wisdom of the time waited for his final battle within the towering palace."
"But at that time, I was just gazing at the Grand Palace from afar, just like my fate, and I had no idea what was happening inside the palace."
"I simply witnessed the fall of the dragon, heard the angry wail, and... saw the birth of a king."
"If you want to know more about the battle that took place a hundred years ago, then you might want to go and see Wisdom in person. Or, perhaps, find the strange guard who was in the palace back then."
It’s just that the palace guards back then were weird, and those who have survived to this day must be quite scary and weird.
And if I go to see the Prince of Wisdom, it will probably mean that I have reached the end of this road in another sense.
Wu Xiangwang and the turtle looked at each other strangely for a long time, and finally looked away.
He thought of the Fallen Eye that the Lord of the City of Slaughter had hidden in the energy wheat field.
I thought of the angry yet still arrogant person I saw through those eyes, amidst countless weirdness and blood and fire.
I thought of the black dragon with a pair of black bone wings turning into a human form, walking forward step by step, and in front of him was a golden throne.
Wu Xiangwang suddenly closed his eyes.
I don't know whether to believe that one-sided flickering picture.
Did the dragon-slayer eventually turn into a dragon?
Or maybe there is a demon living in everyone's heart.
“…Boss?”
The silence lasted too long, and Jiu Qiansui felt a little panicked.
"Well, I really don't know what happened in the Grand Palace. I don't know what the new king looks like either."
"In fact, although a new king has been born, this king doesn't care much about the development of the strange world. It is still wisdom that truly manages the world and issues orders."
"However, this new king is probably quite friendly towards humans. He forbids the monsters in the ten major cities from killing humans at will and demands fair trade."
"This is the first and only decree He has ever issued."
"The rest are rules set by wisdom."
Wu Xiangwang looked at the sky outside the window of the Tower of Destiny, and his feelings were difficult to describe for a moment.
He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He decided to continue climbing the tower. The questions he wanted to ask might be answered clearly when he saw the Book of Destiny on the ninth floor.
"...Do you have any other purpose for coming here besides stealing the Book of Destiny again?"
Wu Xiangwang asked this casually before climbing the tower.
Then he noticed that the cunning turtle hesitated and paused for a moment.
The fierce creatures in the sea of consciousness raised their tentacles, stingers, sickles and scorpion tail needles.
The weak and helpless turtle: "..."
"Also, Wisdom says there's half a skeleton in this tower. Let's take that half of the bones away as well."
Wu Xiangwang's steps towards the sixth floor suddenly stopped.
He thought of the Fallen Eye. Perhaps before it fell, it was once... just half of a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Yeah."
Let’s go.
Without looking at each other, lift your feet up step by step.
If the man's other half is imprisoned in this tower, then of course he has to walk up step by step, find him, and bring him back personally.
This is what he once promised him.
"After all, you don't want to sink with me."
"I hate to sink together."
"But I want to fly into the sky with you and return home."
From the moment you met me, someone has been walking with you on this lonely road.
A Yuan, I'm here.
