Not a god

Chapter 10: The Alliance of Gods

Chen Xi looked nervous and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Just call me Mr. Guan. I'm just an ordinary guest today. Don't be so reserved."

Mr. Guan was just like what we saw in the news, without any affectation, and he was really as kind and amiable as the uncle next door.

"Ok."

This was a rare moment of nervousness for Chen Xi.

What gods, what future, after listening to them talk for a long time, it didn't feel real. But now that he was receiving such a heavyweight figure, he had the sense of déjà vu for the first time that "the world might really be turned upside down."

"Please, what would you like to drink?"

Chen Xi still felt too reserved after he finished speaking, so he coughed and added:

"That being said, we haven't opened yet, so we only have lattes and Americanos, and of course plain water."

The girl in the hospital gown walked to the front desk and gave the guy next to her a thumbs up: "I want a latte, this guy pays."

What an amazing girl! She is so rude to such an important person.

But Mr. Guan was actually very friendly, without any official tone. He seemed to have a warm holy light on him, and he just squinted his eyes and looked at everyone with a smile.

"You're welcome. After all, I was the one who asked you all to come here. I'll pay for today's consumption."

The high school girl wanted to find a place to sit down, but accidentally made eye contact with the store owner and said timidly, "I, I want a latte, too."

"Hey, Emperor Wu, long time no see."

"It turns out that the corpse demon is working on a construction site at this time."

"What's the big deal? Look, that old Sword Master is still a street sweeper."

"Hohoho, you guys." The old man hunched over, not caring at all.

Emperor Wu looked at the corpse demon in surprise: "You are in good spirits, not like the bitter and vengeful person you were before."

"Hahaha, after all, my wife and children are still alive!"

"That's not right!"

Ashura interrupted them: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, are you thinking of calling everyone here to treat everyone to coffee?"

He looked at the people in the cafe who were either chatting or arguing:
“There are five others who are unable to make it due to some special circumstances. I believe that everyone who has gathered here today must have questions in their minds.

Why did I suddenly return to the present from a thousand years ago? Regarding this question——

I have no idea either.”

Everyone was silent, listening quietly to what he wanted to say next.

“But one thing is certain, this moment is not a dream, and the thousand years of future is not an illusion, we are truly living in the present.

I started investigating a week ago and found that some ancient gods had begun to prepare for revival a year ago. The appearance of [Forbidden Objects] and [Evil Corpses] in reality was even earlier than that... Let's not talk about these for now. For the recent [Flu], everyone should know what it is."

That was the evolution that swept across the world, and it was also the fuse that destroyed human civilization in the previous life, and the black hand that opened the curtain of the so-called "Dark Age" - the appearance of Dreamland.

"In the past, this country suffered too much pain, and our homeland was reduced to ruins in the battles with the ancient gods and various evil spirits.
It is true that everyone is a future god, but on the way to ascending the throne, everyone has more or less lost many precious people or things in the process of becoming a god."

“Mr. Ashura’s mother must have died when Rakshasa was reborn two years later, right?
Mr. Corpse Demon was working in another place, while his wife and daughter stayed in his hometown. When Mr. Corpse Demon returned, the place had become the lair of the Undead Spider Queen.

The master of Yuguan was a man of destiny before the revival of spiritual energy. When the troubled times came, he went down the mountain to fight demons and never came back.

I don’t know when the Hades’ husband passed away, but I have never heard that you have a partner in the future.”

Wanwan had been hiding behind Chen Xi. When she heard this, her face darkened, but she seemed unwilling to mention it.

Mr. Guan continued:

“We really can’t find out what brought us back, but now is not the time to look for the reason.

Now that we are back, we should prevent the recurrence of those tragic histories and protect the people and things we cherish.

So I propose to establish a mutual aid alliance to integrate all the people with destiny, and with the help of everyone present, this country will not fall into darkness. Of course, I will also give you corresponding rewards and rewards. "

"Is this your purpose?"

Ashura didn't make a scene, but said calmly: "I can protect my mother without you telling me, but I can do it by myself, I don't need anyone's help, right?"

The others didn't say anything, but Asura's opinion was also what most of them thought.

Since they are starting over, they can protect the people they cherish by themselves, so forming an alliance is completely unnecessary.

Mr. Guan nodded:
“I naturally have no doubt about Mr. Ashura’s strength. Not to mention protecting your mother, it is no problem for you to protect a city with your strength. However, the so-called society cannot be constituted by just a city.

For example, to make a cup of coffee, you need a cup, and the cup needs glass. To build a glass factory, you need to make steel. To make coffee, you need to grow coffee beans. To make coffee, you need clean tap water. If it is too bitter, you need to add sugar and milk. The preparation of sugar requires growing sugarcane. Dairy products require raising livestock.

There are many, many things that cannot be accomplished by a single city. The operation of society requires division of labor. Once civilization is destroyed, it is extremely difficult to rebuild it. I believe that those of you who have survived for a thousand years in the future will feel the same way.

Everyone will naturally live a worry-free life in the future, but is it really comfortable to stay in your own territory?

A whale living in a small pond can hardly even turn over, but only a forest with a complete ecological chain can support a Siberian tiger.

When most of the country is occupied by ancient gods, evil skeletons, dragon corpses, and ghost kings, a city is more like a cage than a home for you.

Now that we are back to the starting point of everything, can we stop it from happening before things get worse? It doesn’t even cost much to do this, after all, we have enough power to fight against the entire Dreamland from the beginning.”

After he finished speaking, no one on the scene refuted him, nor did they agree to anything casually. This was also within Mr. Guan's expectations. His expression became a little more solemn:
"Besides that, there is another very important thing that forces us to form an alliance."

"Having to form an alliance? What does that mean?" someone asked.

"Let Ms. Su Qingyue talk about this matter."

Hearing that she was mentioned and being stared at by everyone present, the girl in the hospital gown blinked her eyes and directly denied it:
"We have to form an alliance? I never said anything like that, Mr. Guan."

She paused as if she was playing a prank, and then continued, "I just said that I saw the future of this world, and everyone was dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Su Qingyue, also known as the Crazy Goddess, is one of the only gods who can cultivate her mind. Her divine power is the 'unreasonable' ability to see the future and choose the future.

"What nonsense are you talking about, what does it mean that everyone died?"

"It means literally. Don't you understand Chinese? The earth is destroyed. Oh, the earth will not be destroyed. It should be said that human beings, the entire human civilization, has become a thing of the past."

Yu Zhiwei was also a little impatient and asked, "Explain it more clearly."

"Even if you say so, I only saw that scene. As for the reason, I don't know, but I feel that the premonition is very close, and it will definitely happen within this year."

Ashura slammed the table and said, "This is too fast! And how could such a crisis occur in the first year of the chaos in the previous life?"

"How should I know? After all, if we can come back, then those dead god-level ancient gods won't? Or do you think I'm lying?"

"There's also the possibility that the future you see is simply wrong!"

"There is no such thing as a wrong future. There is only the future I choose. However, of the countless futures I have seen since my rebirth, all point to the destruction of humanity."

Hearing this, Chen Xi, who was holding the child, raised her hand and asked, "So what you're saying is that it can't be avoided no matter what we do, right?"

“No, the future is changing all the time.

Everyone's parameter weights are different. The more actions you take, the greater the impact on the future. As gods, you are very unpredictable in the future I see, which means your every move will have a huge impact on the future. "The girl in the hospital gown took a sip of coffee and continued:

"The future of destruction undoubtedly comes from the ancient gods and evil corpses. If you side with one side, then the future will easily go in the direction I see. If you actively participate, such as protecting more humans and killing more ancient gods, you can continue to distort the future I see.

The more changes that occur, the more I monitor the impact of these changes, so that I can find the truth about the doomsday and find a way to save everyone."

The atmosphere at the scene became solemn for a moment, but no one thought that the crazy woman was lying, because she had made a prediction last time, and that prediction was also confirmed.

"The future suddenly became nothingness."

At that time they couldn't understand it and thought that this witch had finally gone crazy. Now they know what it means.

Of course it became nothingness, because she could no longer see the future at that time. That future was gone.

Because they are all born again.

Last time they didn’t take it seriously, although it seemed like there was no point in taking it seriously.

But this time is different.

We must pay attention to it and must save it. This time we have something to protect in the future!
Mr. Guan then continued: "For me, the reason why I strongly hope that everyone will form an alliance is simply because my ideas are too greedy compared to the things you want to protect."

He paused, then stood up and bowed to everyone present: "I want to protect this country and my people, but it is not enough for me to do it alone, so I hope to get your help!"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Emperor Wu sighed: "It seems like I'm going to be busy again just after returning."

"We definitely can't let the future turn out like that. We promised to protect our wife and daughter this time."

"Ah, an alliance? I'm fine with that."

"Hmph! Whatever, I listen to my mother."

The woman was a little worried, but she also knew that her son seemed to have become really powerful, and her worry was just worry, and it had no meaning other than that.

"Aro, make your own decision."

"Then I will protect my mother first, and protect all of humanity at the same time!"

Ah, this is the kind of coolness that is unique to this age. When Chen Xi saw it, he missed the period when Jiang was in his middle school syndrome. He was the one who was so embarrassed listening to it that he almost tapped his toes on the ground.

Seeing that everyone present agreed, Mr. Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's discuss the alliance."

"For the two worlds that are about to overlap, instead of passively waiting for the invasion of the other world, my suggestion is... to take the initiative!"

Seeing the lively discussion start up again, Chen Xi suddenly realized that he was witnessing history.

Will it be recorded in history books as a turning point in human destiny? Or will it be recorded as a "café meeting" or something like that?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and take a photo first.

Jiangcheng, Downtown
Although the weather is cold, workers still have to go to work. As a first-tier city in central China, Jiangcheng's streets are already crowded at dinner time.

The traffic lights at the intersection alternated between green and green, and the flow of people on the zebra crossing scattered like a handful of green beans; the various cosmetics advertisements on the huge screen on the office building were blocked by a large group of flying white pigeons. The pigeons landed in the square and chased the people who were feeding them. Passing by the narrow bluestone alley next to it, white mist was floating above the various snack shops on the street, and tourists and office workers in thick coats and cotton-padded jackets were crowded all over the alley.

The owner of a roadside flower shop took his wife out for dinner.

“It’s so cold this year.”

"are you hungry?"

"It's ok, what should I eat?"

"It's all right."

"By the way, that strange guy over there has been staring at us."

"And she's dressed so strangely, is there any comic convention going on recently?"

"But the bull head on the head is so cool, it looks just like the real thing."

The couple left muttering to each other, leaving the Minotaur with confusion in his eyes.

I appeared here suddenly.

It has the same body shape as humans, but it is wearing ancient clothes and has a cow-like head on its neck. If you pay attention to its limbs, you will find that it does not have human hands and feet, but animal hooves.

It was looking around at this moment.

Weird costumes, weird buildings, humans as numerous as garbage, all you see are weird things.

I see;

He came out of his dream and came into the world again.

How many years have passed?

Forget it, there's no point.

But why do these humans seem to no longer be afraid of me? At most, they just look at me a few more times strangely.

The Minotaur inhaled sharply and then opened his mouth.

"Moo-!!"

The terrifying volume centered on him, and like a shock wave, it rolled up a circle of dust, swept across the entire square, and shattered countless windows.

The sudden movement caused a commotion.

"what happened?"

"So, what's up with that guy?"

"He was the one who made that noise just now?!"

"What is that?!"

"Report, call the police!"

It looked at the panicked looks of the humans around it with an expression of joy and playful enjoyment on its face.

That's right;

The Minotaur leaped up and landed on a car nearby, instantly crushing it. The people around were frightened by the noise and fled in all directions.

"They are all doing well. They have given birth to so many babies, just like rabbits."

"There are so many humans. We can eat them to our heart's content this time."

Everyone was trying desperately to escape. He looked at the chaos he had caused with satisfaction, glanced towards the street, sniffed, and looked for places with a stronger scent of people nearby.

Finally we set our sights on a roadside cafe.

The people in the room seemed to have been frightened by him. No one knew how to run away. They all stared blankly at him through the broken glass wall.

He twisted his neck, flexed his hooves, and walked toward the cafe:

"Then... let's make a big scene first."
