From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 649 The Primordial God!

For Chen Hong today, doing something as kind as altering memories is neither difficult nor particularly challenging.

"I don't want to!" The mermaid princess bristled again, but Chen Hong just smiled gently and didn't say anything more.

Although he can alter other people's memories, he doesn't do so because it doesn't align with his definition of "self." He possesses the ability to dismantle other people's concepts of "self," but this doesn't mean he's the kind of person who takes pleasure in dismantling others' selves.

He gained this power because he held fast to his true self, thus indirectly understanding how to destroy his true self.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Those who uphold their true selves understand better than any other being how to destroy them. Just as the gods, representing light and justice, understand better than anyone the darkness and injustice of this world.

The sea breeze blew erratically across the ruins of Sea Soul, lifting the black sideburns of the young man in black and letting them flutter silently in the wind behind him. Chen Hong sat on a boulder, silently gazing at one side of the azure sea. His eyes, hidden beneath the coral mask, remained an endless abyss of darkness, devoid of any warmth.

Having calmed down, Kelly looked up at the black-clad boy sitting casually on the boulder. Seemingly affected by the silent atmosphere, she felt a sense of heaviness in her heart. She followed the boy's gaze and her pupils trembled slightly, because the direction the boy was looking was the direction of Douluo Continent!

"What do you want to do in the future?" After a moment of silence, Kelly broke the seemingly endless silence and asked the boy in black standing on the boulder, who was enjoying the sea breeze, with a heart full of trepidation.

"Do you want revenge?"

"You want to take back everything that was originally yours?" As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. It seems that as long as she could overcome her fear, Kelly immediately became a chatterbox. Well, some of Kevin's comments can't be said to be wrong.

"Judging from your tone, you seem quite eager to try, don't you?" Chen Hong sensed a hint of schadenfreude in Kelly's small chest and couldn't help but smile slightly.

That tiny chest, how ridiculous! Ah Bo, Chen Hong wasn't laughing at that.

"Hehe." Kelly's nervousness gradually disappeared due to the easygoing and peaceful aura of the 'god' in front of her, and she unconsciously became much bolder.

"I was just saying. It seems like that's how it always goes, according to the formula of those novels."

"Looks like you've read quite a bit." Chen Hong looked into the distance, but a slight smile crept onto his lips. "However, life is always more magical and bizarre than fiction. The so-called 'taking back everything that originally belonged to me' is just self-aggrandizement. Everyone has the right to possess everything; saying that we're born to have it is a bit self-deception. So, let's be honest: if we're going to take it, we're going to take it. Let's not deceive ourselves."

"Huh?" Although Chen Hong seemed to be answering her question, Kelly felt more and more that what he was saying was on a completely different wavelength.

"Why don't you know how to present yourself properly? It's often said in the Human Empire that you need to learn how to present yourself well so you can gain more friends and attack those few enemies." It's clear that Kelly's longing for the human world remains unchanged; just from her words, you can tell she's an old revolutionary.

"Hehe, admitting your incompetence is actually more capable than showing off, little Kelly," Chen Hong chuckled softly.

"What do you mean 'small'! Where is it small? It's always been big all these years! Don't talk nonsense!" The Little Mermaid bristled again, proudly puffing out her chest.

Well, there is a little bit, but mermaids are not a naturally large-breasted race. In the food chain of ocean spirit beasts, those with big breasts but who can't swim fast have already become food. So no matter how much Kelly tries to push herself up, she's only barely a B-cup. Hmm, no, Chen Hong never said it was small!

"Well, how should I put it? Although you misunderstood me, your current self-deceptive behavior unexpectedly matches what 'Little Kelly' said earlier: Sometimes, admitting you're not big is true magnanimity." Although Kelly had once again gone off-topic, Chen Hong still explained very patiently.

"I don't care! Just let me fool myself, I like living in my own dream, okay?" Kelly said, patting her chest as if she wouldn't listen to reason.

Chen Hong's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled gently, "It's alright. Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, and I certainly won't force my own thoughts on you."

"Then what did you say before that you would admit to something?" Kelly pouted slightly.

"But as I said before, everyone has the right to choose, and so do I. I choose not to advise you, or I choose a more thorough way to eliminate you." Chen Hong's words were pleasant to hear at first, but when Kelly heard the latter part, her face suddenly froze, and her heart trembled. That gentle voice in her ears turned into the biting cold wind of the far north, chilling her to the bone!

"I'm small! I'm small! I'm small! Don't destroy me! I admit I'm small. Waaaaah!" Kelly burst into tears. She would never say she was big again, waaaaah, she had always been small, waaaaah.

Chen Hong finally looked down at the mermaid princess, who was crying her eyes out, with a helpless expression. He sighed wearily, "You don't know you're small anymore, you know you're going to be destroyed. Alright, I won't hold it against you. I was just giving you an example. Look how scared you are. You're crying like a little girl."

"Don't cry, your friends are coming. It wouldn't be good if they saw you."

As soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, a rather stern female voice called out from afar, "Kelly! I told you not to, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

The newcomer, a mermaid general, is clad in magnificent, colorful armor and bears a striking resemblance to Kelly.

"This fish looks somewhat familiar to you; could it be your mother?"

"Waaaaah! Big sister! Someone's bullying me!!" After being teased by Chen Hong, Kelly cried even harder.

Well, all things considered, this emotional transfer technique was quite successful. Chen Hong secretly applauded himself in his heart.
