I am the one running the game

Chapter 960: The Birth of a New God, the Protector of Humanity, Edward's Last Gift
Divine power tore apart the center of the world where life and death met, and a three-headed dragon arrived on the battlefield carrying the spirit of a new god.

At this moment, half of the humans who had turned into Sons of the Stars were pulled back, assimilated in an instant, and moved away.

The gods of the new era, the guardians of humanity have arrived.

At the same time, the situation changed dramatically. The guardians of humanity and the Voice of All Things joined forces to defeat the Sons of the Stars.

Lu Xingshi looked at this scene and retreated further, fearing that he would be affected by the battle.

"It's a trap, it's really a trap." Lu Xingshi looked strange.

He could see that this human guardian was Edward, but now he had become "Him" and had completely lost his self, and it was the priesthood itself that guided his actions.

To put it bluntly, it is running according to the originally set program without any self.

"The old gods are natural rules, and the new gods are civilized concepts. They are all part of the world. Only the evil gods can maintain a certain self."

The evil god is an outsider after all. Even if he comes ashore and is cleansed, he can still maintain a bit of his self.

"Fortunately, I had prepared for this and did not choose the old god or the new god. Otherwise, if I had chosen, I would have been ruined in this game."

Of course, he still has lingering fears about this. He can only say that this world really does not regard all intelligent life as human beings, and wants to control them completely in its hands.

This also has the advantage that various problems will not arise due to internal reasons.

The way Lu Xingshi treated the State of Yan was actually similar, except that Lu Xingshi was more generous, unlike this world where the punishment was so strict.

"I thought you were the one who became the evil creature, but I didn't expect you to use the two strongest people in the Star Alliance as sacrifices."

"Well done." Edward's voice came.

Lu Xingshi turned his head and looked along the abyss, and saw a broken and translucent shadow that appeared beside him at some point.

"Edward? You are still alive." Lu Xingshi was really surprised this time. It stood to reason that it was impossible for him to maintain his self-awareness.

"Thanks to the help of the Soul Dragon, but I don't have much time left." Edward looked at the human guardians in the battle, and then said: "Becoming a god is a trap, Grand Duke Lanton, don't become a god."

"You don't have a soul dragon. The moment you become a god, you will be devoured by the priesthood."

"I'm afraid there is no other soul dragon in the world." Edward warned.

"So that's how it is. What about the three divine dragons? How are they doing?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"They have also been assimilated by the divinity of their human guardians. Now, they are just new three-headed dragons with their memories." Edward showed a sad expression when he said this.

He definitely has feelings for the three divine dragons, as they have been following him since he was weak.

Now he has sacrificed himself for humanity.

However, he also learned the truth about humans. He thought that they were guardians and invaders, but it turned out that they were the same source.

He didn't intend to tell Lu Xingshi about this matter. After all, this matter was too absurd.

"So what are you going to do next?" Lu Xingshi continued to ask.

He did not covet Edward's current situation. He could see that this was a broken soul blessed by divinity. It had no value, and the vitality of the soul was still being lost.

When all the energy is gone, that will be the time of Edward's death.

"I want to go back to my hometown and take a look," said Edward.

The body cannot go back, but it is also a good thing for the soul to return to its roots.

"Would you like to come with me? My hometown is just a small village in a small kingdom." Edward invited Lu Xingshi: "I still remember that the sunset was beautiful."

"Especially sitting on the hill behind the village and watching the sunset was my greatest enjoyment when I was a kid."

Edward's tone was full of nostalgia, but it was a pity that nothing could go back.

Lu Xingshi agreed: "Of course, maybe I will spend the rest of my life there."

"Giving up on becoming a god is a wise choice." Edward just thought that after Lu Xingshi saw his appearance, he gave up on becoming a god and prepared to return to peace.

"Follow me, I'll take you there."

Edward said, strolling forward, and as he moved, a long golden path emerged.

When Lu Xingshi set foot on this path, he discovered that it was actually a space channel, but it did not show any spatial properties to the outside world.

It is obviously an application of divine power.

Although Edward is dying, he is still essentially the guardian of humanity.

Using the power of gods is naturally not a big deal.

After walking for only about three minutes, Lu Xingshi completely left the black hole shelter and arrived at Edward's hometown, a small village with no reputation.

What came into view was not a quiet little village, but a ruin.

"I'm back, but it's too late. There's nothing left." Edward said with melancholy.

Not only did the village become a ruin, but even the hill behind the village was smoothly cut off by unknown weapons. It even became difficult to watch the sunset.

Lu Xingshi said nothing, just watched quietly.

The next moment, the ruins began to be covered and turned into a quiet mountain village again, and even the hills were restored. "Look, that's my home, I still remember..." Edward began to introduce the situation of the village to Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi saw it clearly and realized that he had not recovered at all. It was just an illusion created by Edward's divine power.

But Edward became more and more excited as he spoke, even affecting everything around him.

Even the sky changed from day to night.

His illusion began to spread out with the small village as its center.

"This is the small village where I live. If you want to live here, no one will disturb you after it is rebuilt." Edward also knew that all this was fake, but he just wanted to take another look.

Even beneath the illusion, there are only ruins.

"Okay, I will help bury them." Lu Xingshi agreed.

Edward is already at the end of his rope, with only a little bit of soul activity left, and even his external appearance has become almost transparent.

If there is no divinity protecting it, the soul will dissipate when the wind blows.

Therefore, he had no way to personally bury his former playmates, elders, and neighbors in the village, and could only ask Lu Xingshi for help. Otherwise, why would he invite Lu Xingshi here?

"Thank you." Edward thanked sincerely and took out something: "This is my thank you gift."

Edward took out the favor of fate from his soul.

But before he could hand it to Lu Xingshi, his soul's vitality had been completely lost, and the favor of fate fell to the ground.

This time, Edward really died, and the only thing left in this world was the god called the Guardian of Humanity.

Lu Xingshi bent down, picked it up, and put it away.

"So, I am the second tool you chose." Lu Xingshi looked up at the sky.

He didn't think that Edward, with only a broken soul left, could take away the favor of fate so easily.

This is only possible with the help of the world.

"Oh, that's a good idea. I'll take it."

As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. Since it was delivered to him, don't blame Lu Xingshi for eating it whole.

He is not Edward, who would allow the world to control him, nor is he the Voice of All Things, who wants to get into the organization.

From the very beginning he was a hidden invader. The other party actually sent this important thing to him, so Lu Xingshi naturally wanted to make the most of it.

Lu Xingshi sealed up the favor of fate and directly dispelled the illusion left by Edward.

No matter how true it is, it is still an illusion.

Then he began to bury all the dead, and his eyes turned to the small section of the mountain that was left.

"He gave me such a great gift before he died. I can't be stingy."

As he spoke, Lu Xingshi used the power of the earth in his hands.

The severed mountain began to gradually recover according to the memories revealed by Edward.

During the whole process, Lu Xingshi only felt the strain, but it was not him who was straining, but the authority of the earth.

"The era of the old gods is about to become a thing of the past because of the birth of new gods. Even their authority is losing its effectiveness."

The authority of the earth could still be used a little, but the authority of the earth element in his hands had completely dimmed, which meant that the earth element particles had disappeared from this world.

Of course, it wasn't just the earth element particles that disappeared; all the element particles disappeared.

Although the new era was a mess caused by Lu Xingshi and had not yet developed as planned, it had arrived as promised.

"Ten days, maybe. After ten days, all affairs of the old era will be abolished."

Including Lu Xingshi's strength, bloodline, authority, as well as the treasures and magical weapons on his body.

Therefore, within ten days, he had to become the fourth type of god besides the old gods, new gods, and evil gods in order to keep everything he had.

Otherwise, under the tide of the times, Lu Xingshi, the villain in the game, can only be regarded as a bigger ant at best.

This is equivalent to updating the version and deleting various data of the previous old version, which is beyond human control.

Either keep up with the times and become a part of the new era, or be eliminated by the times and eventually crushed by them.

As for stopping the progress of the times, with Lu Xingshi's current strength, it is simply impossible to do so.

“It’s just that the struggle between the three gods will not end, but will continue.”

"The Guardians of Humanity and the Voice of All Things can indeed suppress the Son of the Stars by joining forces, but it is simply impossible to kill the Son of the Stars and destroy the Star Alliance."

"Especially after the Human Guardians transformed half of the interstellar humans of the Star Alliance into fantasy humans, the three gods have become entangled with each other."

"The world has favored me with destiny, most likely just to allow me to join the entanglement of the three gods."
