CHAPTER 80: CHAPTER 75: RUNNING AWAY WITH A BUCKET

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

Zhu Zhengwei ignored the fury of the emperor and fell into deep thought.

"It’s quite interesting indeed."

These words, while seemingly laughable, actually represent a significant possibility.

Because Zhu Zhengwei knew in his heart that the "Dream World" was undergoing self-expansion, self-growth, forming various patterns.

It was like a "virtual game program" running among his servers, a program with its own growth, constantly writing code and developing itself.

It was like an embryo of a dream tree being born, nurtured, and growing.

There is indeed a firewall similar to the "Celestial Dao."

"It’s not just the inherent firewall of the world, ready to wipe out the Elf Race; I, too, indeed have this intention, to kill the donkey once the grinding is done."

He appeared very calm,

"I allowed you to come in and enrich the ecosystem, but I won’t let this technology appear forever because I need enough extraordinary creatures. When the biological numbers are adequate and the ecology stable, I will seal this technology."

From this perspective, the "World Will" self-program, intending to wipe out the Elf Race in the future... coincides with Zhu Zhengwei’s idea...

It could even be said that the two are inherently the same thing.

Perhaps the so-called Celestial Dao will, in the dark, is actually Zhu Zhengwei’s strong subconscious driving the world’s growth.

"However, he is really formidable, not only guessing the mechanism of destiny but even perceiving things I did not see, instantly enlightening me that the world will naturally destroy this civilization."

Zhu Zhengwei pondered, continuously reflecting,

"This is indeed the Celestial Dao, the elusive World Will... Hmm, the Dream World has begun to establish its growth mechanism, so I don’t need to interfere much, making the work relatively easy."

Zhu Zhengwei stretched lazily, feeling relaxed.

Fully automated.

It’s workable as well.

I must admit, this Transmigrator truly is a monster.

As a modern scientist, upon discovering this native otherworld indeed had extraordinary powers and "gods," he was initially shocked, finding it unscientific, and then kept low, studying the principles and structures of the otherworld scientifically.

He truly is a Gou Dao practitioner!

He surprisingly, through continuous scientific research, has already guessed that I... hmm, the World Will of this otherworld, is planning to kill the donkey once the grinding is done, at which point the Elf Race will be destroyed, this technology sealed, and even he, this genetic engineer, would be wiped out, making him die and return to reality, ending his mission...

And what about him?

Having guessed it, he directly consented to this invasion, letting the Elf Race be destroyed, letting everyone disperse and return to Gao Village, for the scientist himself to run away halfway through fetching scriptures, knowing that continuing genetic engineering is a dead end, letting other escaping and dispersing Elf powerhouses continue to do it, to die in his stead, while he switches to studying destiny?

The maneuvering runs deep, truly deep!

The desire to survive is truly extraordinarily strong!

Thinking carefully, in this world up to now, none of the top experts across eras are simple characters; they’re all trendsetters of their times, whether good or evil, destined to be written into epic tales!

"He indeed sees destiny, sees the torrent of the world, not going against the heavens but following the Celestial path, evading persecution... Such a person is too ruthless; when he ages, he might make a desperate move, perhaps conjuring up something even bigger." While Zhu Zhengwei marveled at his prowess, Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor still refused to believe it.

He couldn’t see through it.

He thought his teacher was just speculating without any evidence proving the existence of the "Will of Destiny."

However, the next part of the teacher’s statement made him start to believe.

"Thinking upon it, natural disasters, internal chaos, and external enemies... I increasingly believe that the glorious mythological era of the Old Days perished due to those factors, due to ’destiny.’"

"And another doubt remains, unresolved until now; today’s Old Gods might be ancient ancestors from the same Old Era as us. Is His Divine Blood truly accidentally shed?"

"A god who masters causality and glimpses a corner of the future cannot commit such low-level mistakes, so why did the Divine Spirit deliberately shed His blood for us? What’s the hidden meaning?"

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor fell into contemplation.

But Zhu Zhengwei, watching these words nearby, frankly replied,

"The advanced civilizations in this world have really thought a lot about the Divine Spirits and the world, but the answer isn’t complicated: to let you develop thereby, helping create an extraordinary race with me as the origin, and to cure some illnesses along the way."

"However, although this Transmigrator is terrifying, he guessed most of it before, and the content of this letter is extraordinarily brilliant, even planning a direct retreat, but here... no matter what, he couldn’t guess it, couldn’t possibly know I’m a weakling."

Zhu Zhengwei felt quite calm inside.

This is an intelligence problem; you couldn’t figure it out even if you crack your head open, just guessing in other directions.

And indeed, as proven by facts.

"That one ancient god seldom shows himself and has only been seen by Shiguang Zhizu Emperor once. His shedding of divine blood, what’s the implication?" Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor vaguely conjured a terrible, logical guess in his mind, that fits perfectly from start to finish.

Looking more closely, indeed, it aligns with their hypothesis:

"As the new emperor, surely you’ve guessed that the ancient divine spirits deliberately left divine blood for the life of our era to see a glimpse of destiny’s future, to recognize the World Will, and the existence of destiny."

"And what is the purpose of informing us?"

"You already know in your heart."

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor indeed already guessed it.

If it’s spoken so clearly and still not guessed, one would be a fool!

Using divine blood to let them see the existence of "destiny" and "World Will" which higher civilizations can see, is saving the newly awakened descendants of the Old Days because they are already treading the old path of their previous mythological golden age, arrogantly challenging forbidden zones, genetically modifying, enslaving all beings, destroying the world, and eventually the Celestial Dao Will will inevitably self-balance the ecosystem...

At that moment, he seemed to see an ancient god, tearful at the corner of his eyes, a lamenting god using his own blood to reveal the path of destiny of a previous cycle, silently shouting at them: "Foolish children, run away!!"

"So that’s it, in prehistoric times, our path was already wrong! We are the last hope of ancient times fleeing to this era; He allowed us to see the existence of destiny so that we do not tread down that same path again." He suddenly realized, self-mockingly laughed, "We were so arrogant, longing to become gods, even challenging gods, nor respecting gods, but gods have always been...."

"We are truly foolish mortals!!"

"Divine Spirit..." he suddenly murmured, blankly staring at the oil painting on the wall, a man with a tear mole standing alone at the harbor, blowing the cold and damp sea breeze, with words echoing in his ears: I came from the Old Days, walking toward the future.

At that moment, he finally understood the profound meaning behind it: he’s not letting the Old Days turn back into Old Days, but turning the Old Days into a new future....

I came from the Old Days, walking toward the future!

"....."

Zhu Zhengwei was silent.
