This concludes the record of this stone.
"Damn, so my time-traveling predecessor was also killed by Violet." After seeing this scene, Wu Yu, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but swear.
He recognized the dagger that Number 0 had given to Ji Tiandao. It was the same dagger that Violet had used to stab him in the heart. The only difference was that Ji Tiandao had died from that dagger, while he had survived.
Then it's confirmed: Violet is indeed number 0 in the projection.
Wu Yu originally thought that Violet was the reincarnation of some eighth-tier epic in this world, but he never expected that she was actually a person from ten thousand years ago, the mastermind behind the world for ten thousand years. It was no wonder that he was ambushed by her.
But Wu Yu is now more concerned with the history that Violet told Ji Tiandao: that the gods were merely prisoners of the world.
Wu Yu finally understood the irreconcilable conflict between God and the world, so what does the end of the world have to do with their struggle?
Wu Yu had a premonition that everything he wanted to know was hidden in the next stone, and once he knew the truth, he would truly have to make a decision.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Wu Yu activated the next stone. The scene shifted, and this time a tightly closed chamber appeared. By the light of a lamp, Ji Tiandao's figure could be vaguely seen. In front of him was Number 1, shrouded in a black robe, but it seemed that Number 0 was now controlling his body.
"This is a secret chamber built with all the effort of my good friend, but the defensive array outside is useless to you. Who exactly are you?" The first words after their long separation were not a friendly greeting, but an interrogation filled with murderous intent.
"I'm just an unknown person trying to save the world," Number 0 said candidly in his self-introduction.
"Hahaha! Save the world? Is there any hope for this world? No matter what, all living beings will be wiped out. What a cruel reality! How could you possibly save this world?" Ji Tiandao laughed maniacally, and a power comparable to that of a god erupted from his body, pressing down like a mountain.
Number 0's body trembled slightly. Under this immense pressure, she was on the verge of collapse. However, just before she fell, Ji Tiandao withdrew his oppressive aura and said disdainfully, "With this little power, what can you possibly do?"
"Power is only one of the necessities for saving the world, not everything. Wisdom and luck are both indispensable. Judging from your appearance, you should have already figured out the truth of the world."
Ji Tiandao sighed and said, "The gods and the will of the world have always been vying for that authority. If the gods win, all things will perish, and they will draw life force from the entire world to advance further."
"If the world's will triumphs, the entire plane will be elevated. However, the beings existing in this world will be inferior to those in the new plane. It will not hesitate to cleanse itself of these stains and re-evolve into higher beings. So, no matter the outcome, the beings of this world will all come to an end, right?"
“Absolutely correct,” Number 0 replied.
"All living beings in the world are merely parasites of this plane. Humans are products used by the world's will to digest the power of the gods, while demons are tools used by the gods to break through the limitations of life. When one side devours the other, whether it is demons or humans, they lose their value to the gods and the world's will. And things without value are destined to be destroyed."
"How long until the end of the world?" Ji Tiandao asked in a deep voice.
"Thanks to you, the world has been delayed by about ten thousand years. Ten thousand years later, God will be completely devoured by the will of the world, and He will surely launch the most frenzied counterattack," Number 0 replied.
"Since the world is destined to be destroyed, what is the value of my sacrifice? Rather than benefiting them, why can't I become a god?" Ji Tiandao questioned loudly.
"Because the people you care about are still alive, to become a god you must first kill them with your own hands. Unfortunately, you can't do that," Number 0 calmly replied. "As for the future, don't worry, I said I would save this world."
"Tell me your plan," Ji Tiandao said forcefully.
“Every word and action of yours and mine is under the watchful eyes of the gods and the will of the world. If I speak out, I will lose my last chance,” Number 0 refused.
"Then why should I believe you?" Ji Tiandao questioned.
“Because you can only trust me. In the game of the gods, there is no room for mortals to interfere. You are just a pawn of the god behind you. If I had to give a reason, is it enough that I chose to appear before you even though I knew you intended to kill me?” Number 0 replied fearlessly.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Ji Tiandao roared.
“Everyone has weaknesses. The moment I learned about your weaknesses, you had already lost. Believe me, I am your only option. Even if I only have a one in ten thousand chance of success, I am the only one you can bet on.” Number 0 directly pointed out Ji Tiandao’s thoughts.
"Let's begin. There's no need to waste the world any longer." Number 0 directly pronounced Ji Tiandao's death sentence.
“You’ve won.” Ji Tiandao slumped to the ground, pleading, “I hope you will treat my friend well.”
Then, Ji Tiandao took out the dagger that No. 0 had given him and, with trembling hands, pointed it at his heart.
Even warriors who have experienced countless life-or-death battles will instinctively feel fear when facing death. However, Ji Tiandao's personal will had long since surpassed his instincts, so he plunged the dagger into his heart without any hesitation.
