Chapter 1102

But if we let Xing take over Ouluonis's divine post, that also feels very unreliable.

Linghuan's noodles were being slurped halfway when they suddenly stopped, as if he were repeatedly simulating this possibility in his mind. Moments later he bit off the noodles and mumbled: "No matter what, the train crew will eventually leave Wengfaluos. If he succeeds the god of time, wouldn't that be tantamount to binding her to Wengfaluos?"

Moreover, someday she and Danheng will leave, which would be equivalent to Wengfaluos losing a spark. Moreover, no one knows what the future Recreation of the World will be; what if it requires a Demigod to sacrifice something…

Thinking of this, Linghuan's face also changed. Even though he was sweating profusely from eating that bowl of noodles, it still made him feel a chill run down his back.

He suddenly recalled Timbao's mother's prophecy: in the Fire Pursuit Journey, only Bai'e would survive at the end. If Xing were drawn into the causality of the Recreation of the World, could she break this prophecy, or would she die like the other Golden Descendants?

Moreover! The most crucial point is…… Xing isn't even a Golden Descendant! Wouldn't it be too strange to let an outsider become the local god?

"At the same time, on the other side."

"Wandi found Kelatus, seeing the teacher wrapped in bandages basking in the sunlight, he barely let out a sigh."

""The Grim Reaper has abandoned you too, my master."

"Kelatus chuckled lightly, 'Hmph, it merely entrusted my life to the dim-light courtyard. That priestess maiden's medical skill… isn't simple, she might be far less simple than you think.'"

""But my affairs aren't important. Maidemos, I saw… in the end, you still embraced your destiny."

"Wandi nodded and said: 'Now… the power of Conflict surges in my chest. My bones have turned to steel, my blood boils and burns. The rulers of past Xuanfeng could only gaze upon this power, but I——have already merged with it. I have forged history. After me, gods and kings can coexist.'"

"Kelatus's emotions also flared: 'Exactly, you have fulfilled the ambition of every past Xuanfeng king. Now you can finally lead your people back home to reforge Xuanfeng's glory.'"

"Wandi said regretfully: '…Too bad, I have no such intention.'"

"Kelatus stared, stunned: 'What… does this mean?'"

"Over two thousand years ago, those who worshipped Nicadoli's power gathered at its feet and founded a city-state. From then on, the Xuanfeng became the blade of the war god, following the Titans' steps in conquest across the lands."

"Wandi walked to the railing, leaned over and gazed down; the scenery of Aohema City unfurled beneath his feet."

""But now, as I look down upon this history from the stance of a god—I finally see it all clearly." Wandi said word by word, "This is a ridiculous and humble history. People swarm to battlefields like ants, greedily plundering, and like ants… they are trampled. The Xuanfeng's pride—their city-state, faith, and so-called 'tradition'—in its eyes, is nothing more than an ant hill about to collapse."

""You……" Kelatus instantly flew into a rage, "Do you think you can strip away the Xuanfeng people's thousand years of pride with just a few short words?!!"

Yah leh yah leh…

"On the balcony of Uruk Palace, Merlin let out a soft sigh, the smile on his face tinged with an indescribable complexity: 'It seems Wandi has already obtained the god's 'perspective'."

"Lixiang stared for a moment: 'The god's… perspective?'"

""Wandi isn't arrogant; it's just that when he stands from the god's viewpoint to regard the Xuanfeng people, many of the things that once belonged to 'human' persistence lose their meaning." Merlin shook his head lightly, "But in my view, having become the god of Conflict, he is no longer fit to serve as a human 'king'."

""Why is that? With Lord Wandi's god's perspective, he should be able to lead the Xuanfeng people forward better, right?" Mashu asked, puzzled.

""No, a king is one who, after seeing the world's absurdity, still chooses to bear responsibility and lead the people forward." Gilgamesh sat on the throne, propping his chin with one hand, "But Wengfaluos's situation is special… if there were no Heichi, he would undoubtedly become an outstanding king, but after taking on the divine office, the mission to resist Heichi is far more important in his eyes than leading his subjects.

""Moreover, he cannot guarantee whether he will be affected by Heichi and descend into madness. If that day truly comes, he would actually be the one personally sending the citizens of Xuanfengcheng to their doom.

""What does he plan to do next?" Ishtar, floating in the sky, suddenly asked, "Keep the citizens of Xuanfengcheng continually inside the holy city? But that isn't a long-term plan, is there? After all, some people want to return to Xuanfengcheng, which is essentially a fortress; I think we can certainly lead a portion of elite warriors back to resist Heichi.

""Hah, you woman… when will you fix your simple-minded flaw?" Gilgamesh couldn't help but sneer, "Heichi can turn everyone into monsters, even the Titans cannot escape. What makes you think these mortals won't be infected into monsters? Watching your own people become monsters because they follow you… that feeling…… he will not accept it.

——

""——That pride is not worth mentioning, Kelatus. Now I have taken over the authority of Conflict. And next……

""Wandi raised his head to gaze into the distance, speaking word by word: 'I will relinquish the so-called title of king.'

""Kelatus stared wide-eyed in terror, trudging forward with difficulty toward Wandi: '…No, no!!'

""Convey my words to every Xuanfeng person; I command you.

""Don't do this, Maidemos……" Kelatus said trembling, "I beg you…!"

""Beginning in the year 2506 of the Light Calendar and ending in 4931. I, Maidemos, the last usurper of Xuanfengcheng, son of Geerge, hereby declare——

""Under Kelatus' fearful gaze, Wandi loudly proclaimed:

""As of today, the Xuanfeng dynasty is officially over.

""It felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained; Kelatus only felt the world spinning, his head buzzing intensely. Though he was a Xuanfeng who feared nothing, not even death, today he felt fear for the first time—a cold that made his blood freeze.

""He clutched his forehead in pain, his voice trembling: 'You killed us…… you killed all of us.'

""Wandi looked down at him, his golden irises devoid of any ripple.

""No, I have granted you rebirth.
