Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 852 The Future of This World (22)

This time, the cultivator didn't wait fifteen days, but met Qiu Lu just one day later.

Looking at the emaciated, ashen-faced cultivator, Qiu Lu couldn't help but ask, "Is he really that terrifying?"

"What do you think? I can never forgive you in this lifetime."

"But isn't that similar to what you've been through before? Or rather, it's been much easier than what you've been through before."

The cultivator was slightly taken aback, then remembered that he had indeed lived a much worse life before.

Everyone knows that the Chu family is inhuman; throwing someone to be tortured by a female ghost right after meeting them is something they are capable of doing.

Compared to the sustainable, exploitative approach of Yun Jianxian and others, the Chu family completely treated people as tools to be tortured, without caring whether the fishpond would dry up or what future generations would do.

This kind of thing is just basic stuff in real life, but why can't I tolerate it in the game?

After a moment of contemplation, the cultivator said, "First of all, I came to play games to escape the troubles of real life, but they still exist in the game. Then what's the point of playing the game?"

"Anymore?"

"There's no harm without comparison. Both sides seem to be using demonic methods, but Yun Jianxian's method is clearly gentler. Although learning is painful, there will definitely be gains in the end, which is much better than the Chu family."

"Indeed, if you had to choose, which side would you go to?"

"It has to be Cloud Sword Immortal. Wait, are you setting me up? Is this some kind of game where you choose one thing and then you don't get the desired result?"

"...No, choose the place you want to go."

"That's good. By the way, about the three statues..."

"...It's been arranged."

"Thank you!"

The cultivator immediately thanked him, then strode off with firm steps to find the Cloud Sword Immortal who had been exploited.

Watching the other person's retreating figure, Qiu Lu murmured, "Lan, is this your purpose?"

"Yes."

Lan's figure suddenly appeared, even clearer and more radiant than before.

She is becoming more and more like a star deity, her power is strong yet gentle, and that sharp edge is disappearing, making her more and more approachable.

After glancing at the other person, Qiu Lu said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are not yet a complete Star Lord. The choices and aspirations of the cultivators in this world are the nourishment for your growth. Every choice they make determines your future authority, right?"

"Yes, I am the Star Lord, the Star Lord revered by all living beings. My path is the path of all living beings, and the choices of all living beings are my choices. I was born through the game, bearing the responsibility of liberating and ascending billions of beings. Your choices will ultimately determine my form."

"I thought all the Star Lords were people who were only interested in profit."

“That was the Star Lord of the past. A Star Lord who abandons all living beings is destined for destruction, while a new Star Lord will surely walk alongside all living beings. And when I become an obstacle, I too will be destroyed, leaving hope and power to those who come after. This is the destiny of a Star Lord.”

Looking at Lan, who was full of vigor and seemed ready to transform into electricity and light at any moment to burn and illuminate the world, Qiu Lu smiled gently and said, "In that case, I am willing to serve you and become your temple keeper."

"Huh? Did I make you my temple keeper?" Lan asked in surprise.

"Huh? Isn't that right? Aren't you training me to be a temple keeper?!" Qiu Lu asked, even more surprised. "I thought you were taking me on so many things because you discovered my potential as a temple keeper." "Who said that! I want to train you to be my head temple keeper!"

"Isn't this the same thing?"

"It means the same thing, but your surprised look is hilarious! Hahaha, I tricked you!"

Humiliated, Qiu Lu blushed and was about to leave when she felt a large amount of starlight fall on her.

The lifespan of the primordial spirit began to lengthen, the residual effects of the previous medicine were lessening, and the cost of the primordial spirit's power was being distributed among Lan, making Qiu Lu feel that her lifespan was beginning to become as long as that of the Star Lord.

Patting Qiu Lu on the shoulder, Lan said with a smile, "Be proud, Qiu Lu. From today onwards, I acknowledge you as my temple keeper. All the old star lords have fallen, and I am the only new star lord. We will shoulder the heavy responsibility of guiding the cultivators of this realm. From now on, every day of yours will be more arduous than yesterday, and every day of yours will be easier than tomorrow."

"...So you're saying I'll never have a day to rest?"

"That should be all. Let's get ready, the final battle is about to begin."

"Yes, Cyber ​​Star Lord."

Inside the Feijian Building, Lin Yuan and Yao Guang quietly looked at the jade slips in front of them.

The Chu family's attack has become increasingly reckless, with large numbers of cocoon-men launching an assault on the Feijian Building, intending to completely overwhelm it.

All the sword cultivators from the Non-Sword Building have been mobilized, and endless sword light lingers outside, annihilating any approaching cocoon-men.

Although their cultivation level wasn't particularly outstanding, the magical artifacts that Yun Jianhua brought made up for it.

Moreover, due to the high wages during this period, they generally learned a lot of advanced sword techniques, and the sword formations they formed became more formidable, slaying all their once invincible enemies.

Outside, blood and flesh rained down as countless cultivators from the lower realms were transformed into cocoon-men and launched a desperate attack on the area.

But inside the room, Lin Yuan and Yao Guang were unusually quiet.

Before them, the jade slips were constantly changing, and the Star Lord's power was constantly eroding the jade slips, slowly transforming them into the Star Lord's divine artifact.

Looking at the ever-changing jade slip set, Yao Guang couldn't help but exclaim, "Aba (I never imagined I'd live to witness the birth of a divine artifact. Coming here was definitely the right decision.)"

“Yes, I didn’t expect that either,” Lin Yuan nodded and said. “Moreover, our theory has been proven to be correct. Star Lords are born from cultivators, and the Heavenly Dao is complete because of Star Lords. This is a major step forward in our tracing back to the origin, and an important improvement in our understanding of the essence of the Heavenly Dao. I can’t wait to go back and share my findings with others.”

"Abba (Me too. But aren't we going to help? Is this okay?)"

"This is Lan's request. Have you forgotten yourself? No matter what, we are outsiders. Victory obtained by borrowing our power is not a true victory. I must say, although you are Cyber ​​Star Lord, your thoughts are still quite red."

Recalling the righteous faction's victory, Yao Guang nodded: "Aba (Indeed. The righteous faction's victory in Kyushu was so hard-won, but it also forged the spirit of the righteous faction. And since this world allows for buying life, there's really no need to worry too much. But aren't you worried?)"

"What are you worried about?"

"Abba (I thought you'd be upset that Arashi completely revamped your game)."

"So what?" Lin Yuan said proudly, "It's like someone helped create a new module, which just proves that my game is good."

"...Abba (You win.)"

Without saying a word, Yao Guang stood quietly beside Lin Yuan, looking at the jade slips with him and observing the new future of this world.
