Chapter 225 Facing the Sunlight, Heading Towards the Execution Ground

"What would the world be like if the four evil gods were to break free from their seal?" Slaro once asked the Golden Emperor that day.

The Golden Emperor paused for a moment, seemingly gazing at the sky, recalling the savior from a long, long time ago who had helped them escape the control of the gods.

“Perhaps the four evil gods will completely dominate the Warp, thereby corrupting all those who draw power from the Warp,” the Golden Emperor said.

"Is it really that exaggerated? These four reproductive gods, who were sealed away by our first principal, actually managed to occupy the subspace?" one of his friends asked at the time.

He forgot what the person's name was and what they looked like.

"At the very least, they can completely occupy the surface of the warp and thereby thoroughly corrupt any power or product related to the warp. This is also the plan of the Cult of Order. They want to further expand the concept of order, so they found these four evil gods..."

"What makes me most desperate is that these four gods happen to be related to the God of Order..."

The Golden Emperor remained silent, then revealed a secret that silenced them all: "Your principal was a close friend of the God of Order before his ascension, and the opportunity for the birth of these four evil gods may also be related to the God of Order before his ascension."

This is why they ultimately chose to believe the old man.

He was even from the same era as the first principal and the God of Order. He knew the principal's secrets and the story of the God of Order before his ascension. He told them the story of that ancient and barbaric era, word by word.

These stories corresponded perfectly with the intelligence they had gathered, so they naturally believed it. If the four evil gods were to completely break free, gather faith, successfully restore their power, and even steal a portion of the authority of the order, they would surely occupy the subspace.

What kind of future will that be?

The four fertility gods, who were originally meant to represent "courage, wisdom, life, and love," will be completely transformed into four evil gods of "killing, cunning, plague, and corruption," forever entrenched in the warp.

The warp is an indispensable force for them, with teleportation techniques far exceeding the speed of light, the technology that enables inter-world communication, and many other spells that draw power from the warp. These technologies and civilizations all rely on the warp.

When these four evil gods occupy the Warp, in that future, countless people will be corrupted by them, becoming the corresponding Warp Gods, spreading slaughter, cunning, plague, and depravity...

In that case, all worlds that come into contact with the warp will be completely turned into cesspools.

So what they have to do is save the world!

It wasn't just about resolving wars in other worlds or saving the world like the Demon King did, as they had previously thought; it was about completely stopping the four evil gods from taking over the subspace in the future.

And this is all happening while at odds with the Church of Order...

This means they will receive no support, will have no names, their names will be erased from the school, and they will be people with no connection to the school, tasked with this mission...

Can it be successful?

Countless times, he questioned himself in this way, but after he found the evil god who represented "love and beauty", he realized that he could definitely do it, easily, absolutely!

The residual power of the first principal still plays a decisive role. The seal left by the first principal remains in the ring, which is the strongest and most unparalleled seal and suppression against these four evil gods.

However, he saw the group of water elemental spirits.

For the first time, after giving birth to a new juvenile water elemental, they showed expressions of joy and tears, of longing for the future and their race, and of hope and light arising from the ability to reproduce and give birth to offspring on their own.

He saw it, a water element mother, her eyes filled with unparalleled love and protection for her child, and at that moment, he wavered.

One path is to kill the future of these water elementals and prevent the world from collapsing; the other path is to give these water elementals a future, but the god of love and beauty will gradually grow stronger until he becomes a corrupted god and occupies the warp.

In a comparison between the future of one race and the future of the whole world, rationally speaking, he should decisively choose to sacrifice a minority in exchange for the future of the whole world.

Sacrificing the minority to save the majority—isn't that a matter of course...?

"If an enemy kidnaps a little girl and demands that you release her or he will kill her, but if you release her, it will cause an even greater disaster, what would you choose?"

This was a question he had heard during a cultural exam.

At that time, someone said, "Stop talking nonsense, just kill that enemy and then give your life to that little girl."

Yes, they actually have no choice; all they can choose is their own fate.

Since the future of the Morphling and the future of the world are not mutually exclusive, he chooses to make himself an eternal prison.

Thus, a plan was born that could both give the Morphlings a future and thwart the evil god's scheme.

He used himself as a cage to forever seal the goddess of love and beauty. If he never left this small fishing village, she would also never be able to leave. Her faith and influence would forever be confined to this small fishing village.

Then, on that day, he, lost and confused, met her, a water elemental spirit.

As the sun set, she smiled and held the hand of this visitor from outer space, telling him about the village and its details, thus completely entering his life.

Therefore, he came up with a more comprehensive plan.

He used this goddess's "love" as an eternal curse and promise to himself.

He will gradually lose all emotions, leaving only love. But with this love, he vows to stay in this village forever and protect the future of the mutant elves. This is his promise and future to his wife, and also his eternal curse.

A curse in the name of love.

He transformed into a mutant spirit and then gradually possessed his own child.

Yes, my own child.

He and Lilith had children, and those children gradually had their own children, and his descendants grew in the village.

If his lifespan came to an end, then he would choose to possess his own offspring!

At first, he only needed to possess one body every nine hundred years. Gradually, he needed to possess one body every seven hundred years, then every four hundred years, and now he needs to possess one body every three hundred years...

He personally sent his children to school, and then personally took away everything and their future.

However, he left a way out: the children who were possessed would not die, but would be reborn as new beings. Only their souls would be sent away from here to be reincarnated, giving them a chance to escape this cesspool.

Although he never asked them if they agreed.

This is also why his soul gradually weakened, and the duration he could maintain after each possession was shortened, because even at the end, he still retained this self-righteous "hypocrisy" and naivety.

"How much longer can I hold on?" he wondered.

What was my original name?

"What are the names of those friends who, like me, took the rings and sealed away the four evil gods?"

"Did any of them succeed? Or did they fail?"

"When will I be able to complete this eternal seal?"

"who am I?"

This was his last, deepest question.

who am I?

Forgotten? It doesn't matter. I'll fulfill my request to Lilith, send the children to school, and then select the most talented ones to become my fuel...

Let it be, let it continue forever. Perhaps in the end, I will become exactly like that withered old man, the Golden Emperor.

No, I might not even be as good as that man. Even at the very end, he stood tall, sitting on the crack in the seal, remembering everything he had ever known.

By the way, who is the Golden Emperor?

Memory was like a chasm; in that instant, he remembered everything.

In that memory, he saw his past, his school, his friends in the Hero Squad, the Golden Emperor slowly telling them ancient stories, and he also saw…

Even knowing he came with ulterior motives, his wife still accepted everything about him...

"So, I've become the person I used to hate the most..." he said slowly, smiling as he looked at Lilith, his wife.

“It’s over, Slarlo, no, no, your name is… Karl! That’s your real name, Karl!” the mature woman with light blue hair said.

“Karl…” He remembered, his real name.

Traitor, Karl!

"Karl, you've been arrested by the school." He saw the Execution Department's portal open here.

Yes, it's all over. All my plans have been exposed. In the end, I've dragged the school into it...

With the magic-suppressing bracelet on his body, he smiled and accepted his fate.

"Can you maintain this seal?" he asked his junior from the Execution Department, who was from many years in the future.

"It will be maintained." That was the promise from that junior student in the executive department named Li Ge.

It seemed just like the promise he had once made to the old man sitting on the golden throne, whom he jokingly called the Weasel.

He was taken back to school, where he awaited trial.

The crime is possession of one's own offspring, and the punishment is death!

He smiled, a smile of ease and freedom he had never seen before, a smile of liberation.

He took a deep breath, felt the school air again, and looked at the junior named "Li Ge" who was dragging him to his execution. He smiled with immense ease and relief.

The prisoner was finally freed, though at the cost of his life.

"Will you continue to seal that evil god?"

"Yes, we will," the junior student said.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

"Goodbye."

The sunlight was blinding, but he squinted, as if savoring a long-lost warmth.

Finally, he walked towards the execution ground, bathed in the sunlight.

Chapter 226 Calling Parents

Li Ge's domain has almost completely collapsed.

This imagined collapse had completely exceeded the limits that Li Ge's domain could withstand. Liquid fire and liquid ice, these two imagined forces that were of the same origin but completely opposite, erupted with power that made Li Ge feel as if his soul had been completely destroyed.

However, at this moment, a domain that was almost of the same origin helped him hold on, and in the end, this terrifying hypothetical collapse still failed to completely destroy his domain.

Li Ge couldn't think too much anymore. In this final moment, he joined forces with Liu Ruyan, who had transformed into "Lilith," to complete the final assimilation of him.

He saw the senior's past and memories in it, but after that, Li Ge fell silent.

“No wonder he has such a firm will and an uncompromising soul…” Li Ge remained silent.

They stood amidst the ruins of the city. The once bustling city in Li Ge's domain had been completely transformed into a dead city. The giant crater in the city center had nearly annihilated an area of ​​almost a hundred kilometers in radius, leaving behind a huge pit from which nothing remained.

Beside the crater, Li Ge, Xiao Ye, Valerie, and Yi Lian silently watched the fragments of a soul.

This time, he didn't interfere with the future that was woven for his senior. He simply created the future that Karl wanted most in his heart.
