Chapter 251

【All kinds of unknown causes and effects have become clear, and all complicated problems have been simplified……】

【Minghe is not a chaotic evil villain; on the contrary, they are a true saint, aside from their methods being overly cruel, there is nothing to criticize.】

【In the tragic fate of the demigod tribe, there are also not too many conspiracies and tricks; all sacrifices are brought about by the continuation of the "Eternal Primordial" and the real Primordial; without sacrifice, there would be no continuation of heaven and earth.】

【The demigod tribe lives for slaughter, and even more so for heaven and earth……】

【The Primordial is indeed a broken ship, but the "Eternal Primordial" is also not some indestructible giant wheel; the latter exists because of the former's existence, yet it cannot exist independently!】

【You gradually understand: Primordial is "being", Chaos is "non-being", and the "Eternal Primordial" is something non-independent that lies between the two.】

【If Primordial still exists, then the "Eternal Primordial" is truly "being".】

【Conversely, if Primordial perishes, then the "Eternal Primordial" is "non-being".】

【Whether it is "being" or "non-being" depends on whether there is a real Primordial to serve as its anchor, thereby producing the "observer effect"……】

【Congratulations! You have comprehended the Quantum Primordial! You should not be called Xue Xuan; you should be called Xue Ding'e!】

【Xue Xuan's Quantum Eternal Primordial has emerged grandly!】

【……】

【However, you do not feel proud of this great scientific discovery; on the contrary, after you understood this principle, you began to feel panicked and uneasy!】

【Yes, panicked!】

【Even when you were once desperate after failing to open a run earlier, you had never felt such a panicked state of mind.】

【Because "having a place to run but unable to run out" is one thing, while "having no place to run at all" is another!】

【The former is pure despair, the despair of hope being destroyed under irresistible force: you can see hope, but you just can't grasp it.】

【The latter is the collapse of life's faith; facts prove your life is just a joke: you merely think you can save everyone, but in reality you cannot save anyone at all……】

【Hope? It has never existed.】

【Open a run? No place to run.】

【Primordial is the sole reality! There is no isolated Peach Blossom Spring!】

【This answer is so real, and also so desperate: what meaning does your effort have at all?】

【You unilaterally wiped out Primordial, thinking you had a chance to bring everyone to a beautiful world; once there, you would rebuild their bodies and march together toward a prosperous age!】

【Then, you would be proudly lifted onto the altar by everyone; all would worshipfully gaze at you, and deeply feel guilty and ashamed for not understanding the savior's great ideal.】

【You would, as a lone hero who defies all opposition and turns the tide, obtain boundless radiance; even after thousands of generations, people would still chant your name and legendary tale.】

【You will single-handedly publish a book《The Greatest Person of Primordial》, surpassing the Golden Heaven Emperor in status, punching Mysterious Capital, kicking Di Jun; history books will place your name alongside Pangu and the Dao Ancestor! Six Saints? Just cattle and horses! I, the Mysterious Heaven Emperor, am truly great!】

【Everyone who mentions you will rise solemnly, extend their thumbs, and shout: "Greatness needs no more words!", "The grace of the Heavenly Emperor is not yet repaid!"】

【Young people's dreams are always so simple and unadorned; even after you have lived for dozens of great cycles, there has been no change; although you often say on your lips "being misunderstood doesn't matter", "the Lord doesn't care", you actually have always harbored this dream: who hasn't thought of becoming a savior?】

【However, the cold, hard reality ruthlessly slaps you back to reality: young people are still too young!】

【Your dream is worthless.】

【Your effort is useless.】

【Your life experience is no different from that of a jumping-beam clown……】

【"What exactly have I borne?"】

【You, lost and helpless, gaze toward your father, this "villain role" you've always mistaken for a murderous demon king, suddenly undergoes an image reversal: He is the true hero who bears all the slander and defamation, while you, this unfilial son, only know to question the great father, causing him to be misunderstood by more people……】

【You bear the future of countless Asura clans, and you proclaim yourself the savior of the Primordial Wilderness, the Primordial Wilderness' number-one weightlifting champion.】

【But before the great and silent father, all your burdens are so laughable; He may not be the "savior," but He is absolutely the "strongest paper mounter," and He is the Primordial Wilderness' number-one weightlifting champion!】

【Before the true hero, your false heroic belief shatters into pieces, utterly fragile……】

【"Huh?"】

【Your abnormal state caught Minghe's attention; He frowned, gazing at you, lost and dispirited. After a moment's thought, He knew what to do.】

【A qualified father would not mock a child whose dreams have been shattered, nor hold a grudge because the child doesn't understand him; facing you, whose belief is on the verge of collapse, He comforted you.】

【"Child, you are not wrong; your intention is just. No matter how noble the reasons of those who harm others, they cannot change the wrongful essence of harming."】

【"Although I acted this way for the sake of the Primordial Wilderness, tolerating the harm of people who eat and harm others is always wrong; my thinking was too lofty, I failed to see, and even deliberately avoided seeing, the innocent people whose families I destroyed and lives I ruined; my guilt is infinite."】

【"The Heavenly Dao and I are locked in struggle, leaving me as if imprisoned; this is both His resistance against Me and His punishment of Me, the karma I have accrued is enough for a lifetime in prison……"】

【Minghe sighed: "These sins, I should bear them all, and I am willing to bear them all; while imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao, I always think of the sons and daughters of the Primordial Wilderness struggling in despair."】

【"If the Primordial Wilderness is beyond saving, then I am merely causing countless people to suffer this undeserved disaster for a doomed Primordial Wilderness, with no meaning at all!"】

【"If the Primordial Wilderness can be saved, and the Heavenly Dao can be reborn as Pangu to open a new Primordial Wilderness, then my actions are all the more heinous!"】

【"Obstructing the Heavenly Dao's creation of a new era, meaninglessly sacrificing innocent children, perpetuating this unnecessary pain and despair…… then I deserve to die even more!"】

【Minghe bitterly rubbed your head and said earnestly: "You are not wrong, never have been; the fault has always been mine!"】

【"The dead should make way for the living, and the old world should make way for the new world."】

【"And I am merely an old stubborn fool standing in the way of the tide of the times……"】

【You, whose belief has collapsed, are like a child whose building blocks have been scattered, able only to helplessly watch the blocks strewn about.】

【At this moment, the old father comforts you while also helping you rebuild the blocks, saying: "Your blocks are not wrong; this is the correct way to build them!"】

【Then why do the correctly built blocks fall?】

【Obviously, it's the floor's problem—the floor is uneven, even slanted; on such a floor, even the best-built blocks will topple!】

【"You're not wrong; the fault is mine, and the world's!"】

【Minghe reaffirmed your righteousness; under His comfort, you gradually recovered your belief.】

【"Am I right?"】

【You mutter to yourself.】

【"You are right!"】

【Minghe nodded firmly.】

But, no matter how wrong this world is, it is still our only home; before we have any confidence to rebuild it, as a father I must do everything possible to protect it.

Speaking of this, Minghe laughed again: 'So, go to the Eternal Wasteland, bring everyone you want to take with you, the survival of the Wasteland—I'll figure out a way!'

Father truly hopes you can become the Heavenly Emperor there, as an Asura, and claim the throne in the Wasteland!

If Xuandu wisely steps down, give him dignity; if he doesn't, then help him save face! Father is a great contributor to saving the Wasteland, with the authority to decide the position of Heavenly Emperor!

Minghe's words are filled with fervor; He believes it is only right and proper for you to become the Heavenly Emperor, whether in the name of the Asura clan or in the name of the Saint of the End of Dharma—you should claim the throne!

You can proudly say: 'My dad is Minghe—what, you gonna fight me about it?'

This excellent opportunity lies before you; if you are willing, you can immediately lead the surviving Asuras to the Eternal Wasteland you've long dreamed of, and become the legitimate Fourth Generation Heavenly Emperor, 'Eternal Younger Sister'!

Power, honor, benefits… every childhood fantasy you can imagine can come true.

You can discuss heroes over boiled wine with the Legitimate Golden Heavenly Emperor, or you can arrogantly shout at the Legitimate Xuandu, 'Zhen zhen zhen, dog-foot Zhen!'……

As long as you are willing, as long as you are willing!

A perfect ending is already within reach; you will reign over the Eternal Wasteland in the name of the Asuras and Minghe!

Until Minghe fails and the Wasteland falls… but that has nothing to do with you, because you have already cleared the game.

Jin Bing's experience clearly tells you: 'The Eternal Wasteland is the ending; once you enter, you will lose the identity of the protagonist, and you will no longer have the ability to infinitely restart to change everything……'

How will you choose?

When this problem first pops into your mind, you instinctively want to ask 'another self,' because you're used to asking him for help deciding on major issues; he always gives decent advice, and even if he's wrong, you can use him as a checkpoint……

But you ultimately didn't really ask him, because this problem actually isn't worth asking about—it has challenged your belief, and once you agree, your belief will truly collapse!

You are clear-headed: what good way does Minghe have to sustain the Wasteland?

Naturally, it's to create another batch of Asuras as cannon fodder!

In that situation, you'd truly become a clown……

Thus, facing Minghe's expectant expression, you took a deep breath.

But, I refuse!

Da ga! Kou tou wa luo!
