Old days in the box

Chapter 247 Humans will never be slaves!

"But what the heck, I will still be exiled to this world in the end, right?"

For no apparent reason, Zhou Xiao suddenly spoke to the window about the topic he had been avoiding.

That talk of exile and endings.

Perhaps because of Sun Hao's frankness, he couldn't help but let down his guard against the God of Door Keys and finally asked this question.

Shenmu Qianhua said that no matter how exciting the process is, the holders of the box will eventually reach the same destination, and will be exiled to the world inside and become local gods like them.

Is this really an inevitable outcome?

Like Ragnarok?

"Exile? I'm not sure if this word is the right word to describe it." Sun Hao looked away from the beach. At this time, the tide rose on the shore, and the waves rushed past his feet one after another.

"You don't think this is banishment?" Zhou Xiao frowned. After disclosing so many facts, he didn't expect that anyone would defend the banishment.

"How should I put it...you can look at me, or look at her."

Sun Hao suddenly stopped a wave of waves rushing ashore, rolled it into a ball and suspended it on the beach.

“We are here to rule as gods, not here to suffer as humans.”

After doing all this, he raised his head again and looked at the sky seriously again.

"I know there are some holders who think this is a punishment or a curse on the chest, but you have to admit...objectively speaking, it neither deceives us nor fools us."

"When we come to this world as entities, it does not deprive us of our authority or creation. On the contrary, it will cash in everything we have won in the process to us, exactly, so at least in my opinion Come on, it's more like an ending than a punishment... It's like the last level of a game you'll eventually reach, and this is your reward for reaching the end."

Zhou Xiao fell silent. He never thought that someone would explain being banished to another world in such a refreshing and refined way, but on the other hand, he had to admit that what Sun Hao said was the truth.

He moved closer to the screen and dragged the mouse.

After switching to the divine pointer of the ocean authority, he gently right-clicked the water ball rolled into a ball on the beach, dispelling it and turning it back into sea water and returning to the sea.

"But has it ever asked me if I want this reward? Has it ever given me a chance to choose?" Zhou Xiao's voice continued to come from the sky.

"This is not a choice, this is the ending. Everything will have an end, kid, just like there is no game that can be played forever." Sun Hao looked at the water returning to the sea with an expressionless face, and the waves were still rushing to the shore one after another. Then it returns to the sea, and the cycle begins again.

"So this is inevitable. I will eventually be exiled like you, right?" After another while, Zhou Xiao's voice lowered and he asked again from the sky.

"At least I haven't seen any other examples. All the people who started the journey of this box in history either won and entered at the end, or lost and disappeared from the world. There is no third situation."

"How do I win? When will it happen? When I have enough power?" Zhou Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Sufficiently powerful divine power is just an inducement... The most accurate way to say it is that when you lose all your humanity and only remain completely pure divinity, that's when you return."

Sun Hao was like a good teacher, telling Zhou Xiao everything he knew without reservation.

But this knowledge only made him feel a chill in his heart.

Only then did he understand why with the use of the box, he gradually became desireless and had no need to eat or sleep. Sometimes he would stay in the room and stare at the screen for an entire night, as if he was stagnant. Immobile statue.

The humanity in him has been gradually peeled off, and the completely neutral and rational divinity is emerging from his body bit by bit.

"Is it because the extraordinary divinity has entered my body and it is affecting me?" Zhou Xiao reacted immediately.

"It can be said that extraordinary divinity itself can transform life. You have also seen its impact on other creatures. Whether it is this world or the real world, the principle is the same." Sun Hao nodded.

"What if I stop now and don't take more divinity?"

"It's useless. It can only delay it for some time at most, but it won't change the final outcome."

Sun Hao showed a mocking tone, but he was not laughing at Zhou Xiao, but at himself.

"When I was still in the real world, I had the same thoughts as you. At that time, I gave up all external actions and ordered my chosen one not to leave the country. I even turned off the screen and refused to watch. Listen to what’s going on inside.”

"Did that work?"

"Of course not, otherwise how could you see me here? On the contrary, after that, my chosen one no longer trusted me. She accused me of abandoning my own voters, bringing them to the world and then again Suddenly leaving, they are left alone to face the enemy of the entire world."

Zhou Xiao heard a sigh in his tone for the first time, and at the same time saw him suddenly turn around and glance at Jade World behind him. "During the time when I was away trying to escape, she fought for my beliefs to the last moment. When I came back, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She left me and came to the atrium to re-establish a place of her own. country."

It turns out that this is why he suddenly appeared, eager to protect the Jade World.

This is not his country, but it is the country of the person who was closest to him and should trust each other the most.

"So you just let her leave with your power of authority and come here to establish the Jade World?" Zhou Xiao couldn't believe that a chosen one could disobey his master and go away to a foreign land and no longer obey the orders of the gods.

"Yes, otherwise what else can I do? She has done nothing wrong. She is my perfect choice. I chose her not because of her power, but because I care about her... just like you and your perfect choice."

Sun Hao laughed at himself again. Since the White Jade Dragon Girl came to the atrium with the power of steel to establish the Jade Realm, he has never descended to interfere with this country.

Even though he had the power to travel freely across any realm, he never appeared in front of her again.

Zhou Xiao didn't answer. He didn't know how long Sun Hao's "leave" was, or how long it was in the window that passed at double speed.

Maybe ten years? a hundred years? A thousand years?

But when his chosen one, the white dragon, suddenly lost any response, he still chose to stick to it, for the sake of her god.

It's so romantic, the jade dragon with white scales, the legend of mountains and seas, and the golden carved tower.

Is this the way people used this window more than [-] years ago? There are not so many fancy things, and there are not so many weird creations.

He just embodied the culture and inheritance of his own country into this world one by one, until he himself assimilated into it and was exiled.

"Now that your power has expanded enough to expand yourself, even if you really do nothing, your powerful electors will continue to expand territory for you in the atrium and seize more divinity. This is already We have entered a positive cycle phase that cannot be stopped.”

Sun Hao paused for a moment, then finally turned back to Zhou Xiao and gave his final conclusion.

"What if I kill them all? Kill everyone who believes in me, leaving only the first dozen or so believers?"

After a while of silence, Zhou Xiao suddenly asked this question that surprised even him, as if someone suddenly spoke out the most cruel and unbearable thought from the bottom of his heart.

Kill all the believers in the territory, leaving only a dozen people who cannot make waves. They just stop at this moment and no longer move forward.

This seems to be his most rational and correct choice at the moment.

"Can you really do it, destroy all your followers, including those you cherish?" Sun Hao was not surprised or cruel, but asked very calmly.

Zhou Xiao did not answer and fell into a long silence again.

In just a moment, he already regretted what he said. Even though Freya or Taiyin were not here and did not hear his cruel conversation, Zhou Xiao was still ashamed of it.

Because of his own powerlessness, he actually wanted to transfer these costs to others and let them suffer the consequences.

"Look, this is what I said, we are not heartless machines, and many things cannot be done just by saying they can be done."

Sun Hao was still very calm, as if he had anticipated this scene.

"And you know what's the most ironic thing? If you can really do this, it just proves that you have lost all your humanity, accepted all your divinity, and can destroy those who stop you without caring. As a person, make the most rational decision that is best for you, and by then, you may come directly to this world."

His words were like the most stern good teacher Zhou Xiao met when he was studying. Although it was hard to hear, he had to admit that it was the truth.

Maybe this is the difference between humans and gods.

Human decisions are always emotionally charged, but to the almighty gods, everything is a expendable pawn, an insignificant number in history. As long as it is ultimately beneficial to the overall situation, they can make any decision without hesitation.

"So what you're saying is that no matter what I do, I will inevitably end up with the same ending in the end? Just like the Twilight of the Gods in Norse mythology?" Zhou Xiao said with a bitter smile.

"Depending on what you think, imprisonment or freedom, it's all a matter of a moment's notice. After all, this is not a virtual dream, but another real world."

"The only question is, will you choose to come here smoothly and become a real god? Have a party and drink in your free time, and maybe have sex with nine goddesses like Odin? Or will you choose to live in the real world? Resistance and a meaningless struggle?"

Sun Hao shrugged and said the last words calmly.

"I will not go to jail. No matter how beautiful you describe it, I must stay in my own world." Zhou Xiao replied without hesitation, "We are humans, we are not gods."
