Chapter 878, I Refuse!
Translator: Silavin
“Are you looking down on me?” The Fallen Corpse Ancient God loudly laughed.
After a long while, its laughter ceased.
“Actually, I feel the same way. In my view, the things you care about are so laughable, so illusory. Those who constantly fixate on such matters are fundamentally unworthy of becoming Ancient Gods.”
Pausing, the Ancient God shifted its tone. “But, you’ve only become an Ancient God in this era, so having such thoughts is understandable. I don’t even remember when I completely severed all Human desires, when I became indifferent to everything. One era? Two eras? Perhaps five?”
“Once, I repeatedly tried to become God King to rebuild a world containing my Family and friends. But when I truly became God King, I felt it was all so meaningless.” It continued laughing. “Forget it. I won’t lecture you.”
“How about this. In the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, cooperate with me, and I can make you a promise. In this world, all the people you wish to preserve, all the land you don’t want Ancient Gods to touch, you can freely designate it. All people, all land, after you and I claim victory in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, I won’t touch any of it. I’ll let them peacefully survive the era’s transition. How about that?”
“Isn’t that your purpose in opposing the Ancient Gods? A God King can easily destroy an era, bury all living beings. Simultaneously, they can also preserve a sanctuary. We can even isolate that land separately, preventing it from entering the new era. This way, the land you wish to preserve can remain, with not even the slightest change in Mechanics or Principles. They will no longer be affected by the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy. It will be an eternally peaceful utopia. Of course, provided they don’t slaughter each other.”
“What do you think? This is a condition you absolutely cannot refuse, right?” The Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s words stirred Lu Fan.
The other party’s conditions truly struck at his heart.
Wasn’t his opposition to the Ancient Gods precisely to protect his Family and friends, to protect Dragon Country from being buried by the transition of this era?
Now, the Fallen Corpse Ancient God promised that with cooperation, it would allow him to designate land unaffected by the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy according to his wishes.
One could imagine that once the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy began, even if Lu Fan was a powerful Ancient God, protecting Dragon Country would be extremely difficult.
Even if he ultimately became God King, preserving this era and forcing all Ancient Gods to reshuffle or fall back into slumber; after that battle, eighty or ninety percent of the world’s living beings would likely perish.
However, for him, technically, as long as Dragon Country remained unscathed, he could accept it.
Compared to single-handedly confronting all the Ancient Gods individually, cooperating with the Fallen Corpse Ancient God would offer a higher chance of winning the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy.
Correspondingly, the probability of survival for Dragon Country, Lu Fan’s Family and friends would be higher.
Indeed, if Lu Fan won the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy and became God King, he could even recreate an identical world based on the current one.
Recreating Han Ke, Qin Qiu, Jian Ying and others would be no problem.
But those would ultimately be products created by his own power. Even if their memories and personalities were identical, they ultimately would not be the same.
Lu Fan was not someone who could deceive himself. He felt that a world he created was no different from a virtual world.
Believing that created world to be real would undoubtedly be self-deception.
Therefore, what Lu Fan wanted to protect was this world. This living breathing world!
The Fallen Corpse Ancient God seemed to perceive Lu Fan’s wavering and continued. “What else do you need to consider? Everything you want, I can give you. Cooperation between us only has benefits, no drawbacks. If you agree, I can immediately make all my Fallen Corpse Puppets stop attacking, transforming them into Experience Points to elevate your Level to match mine.”
“However much I’ve awakened, I’ll let you awaken correspondingly. Ultimately, you and I will become the world’s first two awakened Ancient Gods. Then, you and I will initiate the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy and slaughter all the other Ancient Gods! Simultaneously, whatever people you wish to protect, whatever land, just point them out directly. You can move them all into your Abyssal Space. I’ll have absolutely no objections.”
“They can live eternally in your Abyssal Space, while the outside world will be jointly ruled by you and me. Every era, we’ll cooperate to claim the God King position, each ruling the era for one cycle. You and I will be High Tier Ancient Gods among High Tier Ancient Gods, forever monopolising the God King position!”
The Devouring Dragon King, watching the contemplative Lu Fan from the side, curled her lips. “The conditions the other party offered seem quite good. If you want to agree, I can understand. But, you’d better deal with me first. After all, I’m unwilling to become a Mount. Hmm… Instead of becoming a Mount, just let me stay in Dragon Country as its Guardian Deity. I can eat and drink as I please every day. That’ll be fine for me.”
Lu Fan laughed upon hearing this, asking. “You think I should agree with it?”
The Devouring Dragon King responded seriously. “Well, I can’t think of a reason for you to refuse. If I were you, I’d probably agree. After all, everything you’ve worked hard for, isn’t it what the other party has offered to you?”
Lu Fan nodded. “According to your reasoning, it is indeed so. The conditions it offered leave me no reason to refuse.”
The Fallen Corpse Ancient God spoke. “Does this mean you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Lu Fan smiled. His next words caught everyone off guard.
“No. I refuse to cooperate with you!”
“Oh!?” The Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s tone immediately revealed murderous intent. “Why do you refuse?”
Lu Fan laughed coldly. “Because I don’t trust you! If you could truly guarantee you’d fulfil all your promises, I’d definitely cooperate with you. But the problem is, what if you’re just deceiving me? Who knows whether after all the Ancient Gods are defeated by our combined efforts, your blade might secretly turn towards me? If I die, the people and land I want to protect, would you be able to destroy them with a flip of your hand!?”
