MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Decision

Li Yao focused his spirit. At the beginning he was able to get by knowing nothing, but with this second question, he couldn’t gloss over.

After all, the Archangel had allowed him to come to this place known as the Source World and explained its structure. If he continued to equivocate, it would make him seem incapable.

Taking into account the Archangel’s character, his status, Li Yao thought of an answer.

“How can a second-rank lad like me answer something so profound? However, I believe that what you stated earlier is the so-called extreme: ultimate order, ultimate chaos, ultimate life and death, ultimate light and dark, none of these really exist.”

The Archangel didn’t show any anger, only asked: “Why?”

Li Yao responded with a smile: “I can’t see the essence, but in my opinion, even in the brightest places, there are shadows, and even in the most chaotic places, there is order, and vice versa. Perhaps a god can achieve the extremity, but in my understanding, there is no ultimate.”

“You clever boy,” The Archangel patted Li Yao’s shoulder, sighing: “If you had said this a hundred years ago, I certainly would not look at you again. If I had understood this truth earlier, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. ”

In his heart, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed another hurdle.

The Archangel, looking melancholy at the white light, murmured: “In the distant past, in my eyes, light was just light, darkness just darkness, righteousness just righteousness, and evil just evil. But I was wrong. Not until the fall of heaven did I realize I was wrong. My so-called kindred, embodiments of brightness, and justice and order all shattered. Without the internal decay and degeneration of Heaven, who could have defeated it?”

“Just as you said, chaos contains order, even the brightest places have shadows, there is no ultimate light or dark, maybe there is such pure power, but when power reaches its extremity, it will transform. The ultimate dark, is also the ultimate light.”

“For example, your two camps are facing the Burning Legion from the Abyss and the Void representing chaos, they are the representatives of ultimate chaos, but they also have order. The Hell Demons we in the Heaven and Sanctuary World face are also creatures of chaos, but they too have order.”

The Archangel looked at Li Yao with piercing eyes: “That you could see through this at your age is indeed rare.”

Li Yao feigned ignorance, saying: “I still don’t understand.”

The Archangel put his melancholy away, and said with a smile: “You will understand soon. Do you know, Heaven has been fallen?”

“I’ve heard a little.” Li Yao nodded.

“The main material plane is about balance, whether it’s light and shadow, life and death, order or chaos, all these are contained in the material plane. Ultimate also means purity and instability. And now, our Sanctuary World has reached this crisis point.”

Li Yao was shocked, exclaiming: “How is that possible?”

“Why isn’t it possible? Our continent, including Heaven and Hell, were originally sealed away from your side. Although being on one main plane, it was actually segregated by the seal until the collapse occurred, and this seal weakened. It’s only been connected for nearly a hundred years. In the past, Heaven represented light and order, Hell represented shadow and darkness, and this continent was the intersection, its prosperity being due to the balance of everything.”

“Heaven and Hell, in the distant age, sought to obliterate each other, and now, Hell is nearly victorious. Demons corrupted the angels and have now occupied Heaven, while Sanctuary World is gradually being eroded by darkness. In my estimation, if this situation does not change, this continent will become the ultimate darkness, and the higher-level Void Lord will descend, using this continent as a steppingstone to devour the main material plane.”

Li Yao was visibly shocked, asking: “Then what should we do?”

“Heaven. We need to retake Heaven to restore balance to this world” the Archangel said: “That’s why I brought you here. You have great potential, and my Angel’s Wing chose you. You must participate in this mission; the Angel’s Wing can open many useful barriers and arrays. Moreover, another shard is in the place we’re going to break into.”

“Taking back Heaven alone, are you kidding me?” Li Yao touched his nose, even with his self-confidence he didn’t believe he could take back Heaven alone. Who knew how many god-like beings occupied Heaven now?

“Breaking into Heaven isn’t easy. We only need to take the Angel Trial Field, which is equivalent to a smaller Heaven. This can activate the light power of Heaven, delaying the time for the shadows to devour this world,” the Archangel explained.

“But even I alone can’t do it.” Even in a trial, he himself would be no match for a little angel.

“So, now, you have another choice to make.” The Archangel’s face turned grave: “Your choice will have a significant impact, a large one.”

Li Yao nodded thoughtfully. As mainline quests naturally had a significant impact, if handled well, he could become intimate with the Archangel. If not handled well, he could even become enemies. This wasn’t a game.

There was a goof in his past life who had good luck and got a mainline quest. However, he played around which resulted in the fall of three allied Legions numbering millions of soldiers.

After that episode, not only did the player suffer, the guilds involved in the mainline quest were driven out and hunted down by the three camps. As a result, the guild became wandering monsters, a pitiful sight.

They first became mountain bandits and were wiped out, then they became pirates and the pirate group was destroyed. Out of desperation, they became believers of the Evil God.

“The Trial Ground must be taken within a month. You can choose to go alone or lead your comrades to take over the Trial Ground. You can also announce it in the Hero’s List and let rookies from other camps participate. You can get most of the rewards either way, such as wings, but choosing the second way, some rewards will depend on your own strength,” said the Archangel, looking at Li Yao.

Naturally, Li Yao wanted to choose the first one but didn’t have the confidence to do it by himself. But he had his own guild.

If the quest-giver was the Queen, he would have chosen the first option without hesitation. But this was the Archangel.

Only by choosing the second option could he maximize the benefits. In his calculation, these so-called rewards were not as important as getting intimate with the Archangel.

Once he was friendly with the Archangel, he wouldn’t have to worry about receiving citations anymore. Besides, Li Yao was confident in his own strength, even in a competition, good things would eventually be his.

What’s more, he would definitely have the ability to activate arrays, barriers, and the shards of Angel’s Wing. So, other rewards didn’t matter as much.

Therefore, Li Yao lifted his head, and said: “I choose to announce it in the Hero’s List.”

The Archangel showed a smile and patted Li Yao’s shoulder, saying: “Then I will leave it to you.”…
