Chapter 648 Good Numbers



"Glorious Realm? Is this the Glorious Realm?"

Lu Ban carefully recalled the familiar word and soon remembered that this was what Feng Yu had said to him.

There once was a powerful foreign land that was at the forefront in the fight against pollution. It possessed a brilliant and splendid civilization, and even many extraordinary items were created by the glorious realm.

But like other polluted foreign lands, the Glorious Realm is merely using one kind of pollution to fight against another kind of pollution, and the final outcome can only be corruption.

Moreover, the fact that they are able to resist the pollution of the Old Ones means that they themselves may also possess extraordinary pollution.

But everything has returned to dust.

The last ray of light of the sunset of civilization faded, and the wreckage of the huge satellite stretched across the night sky, creating a strong sense of oppression. Just imagine the scene of magnifying the moon several times. It would definitely be a strange picture that would make people unable to sleep.

Lu Ban felt a cool breeze.

He was somewhat curious as to why there was still air on this planet, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it.

"right."

The woman nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the roasted lamb that Lu Ban had left over disappeared, leaving only the swaying campfire, reflecting her face.

"You can call me Charlotte. It's just a nickname."

The woman who called herself Charlotte said.

Lu Ban felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"I have always believed that the Old Ones were monsters that were in a state of permanent madness and had no rationality at all."

Lu Ban asked curiously.

"Someone as kind as you who gave me roasted lamb to eat doesn't seem like one of the Old Ones."

When the woman heard the word "kindness" said by Lu Ban, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Me? Kind?"

Charlotte looked like she had heard some great joke, her eyes and brows were even more charming when she smiled. If she was like the rising sun on ordinary days, then this woman with a smile was the first ray of light at dawn, which moved people from the bottom of their hearts.

"The Old Ones I've dealt with before were either blind and stupid, sealed and motionless, or sang and rang bells whenever they saw people, driving people crazy. There were also some guys I don't know much about, who always spoke incomprehensible words. But when I saw your appearance, you didn't show any reaction."

Lu Ban said again.

"That's because I'm in disguise. What you see is not the real me."

Charlotte turned her gaze toward the campfire.

"In fact, even I don't know what the real me is like."

The woman's expression was cold, but under the flickering firelight, she looked a bit fragile, which made people want to protect her.

"I once said that you have a certain aura of mine in you. Let me think, is it the Black Pharaoh? The Faceless God? No, the one you were able to meet and come back alive is probably the Man of Darkness."

Charlotte didn't shy away from naming a few names.

Lu Ban felt an itchy sensation inside when he heard these ordinary words. His brain became confused as if he was drunk. He shook his head and finally came to his senses.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you're only human."

Charlotte smiled and looked Lu Ban up and down again.

"Strange, I was prepared for you to collapse after hearing those names, and for me to personally mold you into a new shape, but you're fine."

There was no surprise in her tone, but rather a hint of regret.

This guy must have done this on purpose, right?

Lu Ban couldn't help but think, and then he said.

"What I saw was a dark-skinned, thin man."

"Ah, it's the Dark Man."

Charlotte nodded, and her expression was as if she had finally remembered the name of an obscure classmate from elementary school.

"He's the most enthusiastic of us all about dealing with humans."

"You guys?"

Lu Ban thought about it and came up with a guess.

"When you say a certain you, do you mean they are all your clones?"

"Wrong."

Charlotte stood up, waved the fan in her hand lightly, and disappeared.

"To be precise, we are all His incarnations."

It was the first time she used a word to refer to God. Even when describing the "Man of Darkness", Charlotte did not use that term.

"Him?"

Lu Ban vaguely felt that he shouldn't continue asking, but since he was already here, he might as well get to the bottom of it.

"You don't want to know His name, and I won't mention it here. You just need to know that He is one of the oldest beings in this world, a ruler above the Old Ones, a God Beyond Gods. His name alone is enough to destroy a foreign land."

Charlotte said in a cold tone.

"Unlike other Old Ones, He rarely has followers, but more incarnations. He created countless incarnations, many of which are even unaware of each other's existence. These incarnations may have their own followers, who are scattered in foreign lands. Some are sealed, some still walk the earth, and some even have disputes and fights with each other."

“Why did He do this?”

Lu Ban didn't quite understand. From Charlotte's description, the Old Ones seemed to be more rational than those blind and foolish beings. In this world where pollution determines power, this was a bit too bizarre.

"No reason, it's just fun."

Charlotte chuckled, like a helpless sigh.

"interesting?"

Lu Ban confirmed the word.

"What is rationality? Rationality is logic and order, it is restraint and self-control. The Old Ones are the beings furthest from rationality. Why do you want to use human logic to infer a being that is superior to the Old Ones?"

Charlotte seemed to be mocking Lu Ban, but quickly spoke again.

"In fact, madness embraces rationality, just as disorder embraces order. The true meaning of the alien world is chaos, and He is the crawling chaos, the Thousand-Faced God. He split off a part of His madness and created us, His clones. At the same time, we also have the rationality He split off, but you have to remember one thing."

"What?"

Lu Ban looked at Charlotte, and the woman smiled sweetly.

"I'm not the most rational of these clones."

Lu Ban saw that Charlotte's eyes were glowing crimson.

In the crimson, there seemed to be huge and thick tentacles passing through, and a sense of swelling burst out from the eyes, which made people feel terrified. Just seeing this scene would make people's legs tremble and become mentally ill.

But the light only flashed for a moment. She blinked and then turned her head to look at the magnificent and tall building.

"Come here, I need your help."

Charlotte said, taking a step towards the building.
