Durin's Diary

Chapter 1040 Suing Cang Hao

“Someone has arrived in Sigil City and learned about the Nameless Ones’ past deeds. Since they know they can’t defeat you, they’d like to try to make friends with you, or at least sound out your opinion first,” the sister said.

The older sister leading the way had a different perspective: "They were also worried. After all, the more nameless people they met, the more they understood that people like you had an indelible obsession. They also wanted to know if there was still a place for them in the new universe."

"What, did the Nameless Ones leave behind any gods?" Dulin was quite curious—it seemed that the world he lived in clearly had nameless ones who had existed. He didn't know who these nameless ones were or who they had recruited as new nameless ones, but he was certain that neither of them liked those gods.

Therefore, in Dulin's view, all gods should be expelled.

But now, looking at it, I never expected that there would be anonymous people willing to accept the gods.

“There are some nameless people from a world with gods who don’t have much to say about the gods, but they also don’t like evil and chaotic gods, so they haven’t come, nor dare to come. If I were them, I would be thinking about where to run to right now,” the sister said.

Dulin nodded—it was good that the evil and chaos gods hadn't come; otherwise, Dulin really felt that if he had voluntarily freed himself to kill them all, he would definitely have won, but he would have destroyed this place.

"And what about you guys?"

“Our mother told us to follow you.”

“Ms. Sun is being ridiculous,” Du Lin said with a smile and a shake of his head.

This won't do. These two girls, even though they've been gods for a thousand years, are still good enough to be Dulin's daughters in terms of appearance. This won't do.

The sisters laughed, not taking it to heart.

They led Dulin to the hall, where a dozen or so energy beings of varying sizes were seated. Upon seeing Dulin, they realized they didn't look human and transformed into human form.

Dulin saw the goddess of art. Today, the girl had two big braids and was dressed like a country girl. She ran, jumped, and pounced on Dulin.

Fortunately, she wasn't very strong, and Dulin was able to catch her.

"I didn't expect you to become so amazing in such a short time." She happily nudged Dulin's cheek and then let go.

Dulin smiled and nodded: "Yes, times have changed. I never imagined that one day I would be sitting with you all, discussing the future of this land."

At this point, he looked at the gods and said, “I have not yet truly become nameless, not because I am not strong enough, but because I still have some unfinished business. I did not intend to keep you here from the beginning, because I believe that humans should have the ability to decide their own destiny.”

“But apart from the god of fate, none of us can change a person’s destiny,” the goddess of art said, pointing to the god of fate sitting in the corner.

The latter was an elderly woman with white hair. She noticed Dulin's gaze and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Dulin should understand me."

“Yes, everyone says that living beings are just pawns in the eyes of the goddess of fate, but the problem is that whether living beings accept fate or resist fate, it doesn’t really matter to fate. It’s like a fish; no matter how much it struggles, it can’t leave the water.” Dulin sighed as he said this: “But in my opinion, gods are not of much benefit to human civilization. The church is conservative and ruthless.”

“That’s because of the false god church, Mr. Dulin. As the true gods, we are actually happy for our believers to live better lives. After all, believers with more money are more willing to give more.” A simply dressed middle-aged man said this, and perhaps noticing the doubt in Dulin’s eyes, he bowed to Dulin and said, “I salute you, Mr. Dulin. I have taken over the authority of the God of Suffering.”

It seems that the original god of suffering left with the nameless man.

In retrospect, perhaps these guys weren't entirely wrong.

“If you are willing to give living beings more freedom and not interfere with their choices of faith, I can try to allow you to continue to exist and observe the consequences.” Since that was the case, Dulin did not want to exterminate them: “If that is not possible, I will only ask you to leave on your own.” “I knew Mr. Dulin was reasonable.”

"However, I don't want to keep those evil and chaotic gods around. What about you?"

“There is a proverb in Changtang: ‘Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.’ I think this perfectly explains our relationship with them,” the God of Crafts replied.

That's no problem.

Dulin shook hands with everyone—as long as they were truly willing not to interfere with human progress, Dulin would not actually exterminate them all.

After all, those who can stand here are either neutral gods who are involved in culture or benevolent gods like the god of suffering.

Dulin genuinely didn't care if they stayed.

But forget about chaos and evil gods.

After the gods left, Dulin also prepared to depart.

The two goddesses smiled and followed Dulin through the portal, arriving once again outside the bar.

Not long after he left, the young people inside were still shouting and drinking. Du Lin was about to go in when two girls called him back.

“I’m surprised that Mr. Dulin was willing to keep us,” my sister said. “After all, Mr. Dulin didn’t seem to want to keep us.” She sighed.

“I just don’t want to be an unreasonable person. The gods present here are all neutral and benevolent. I have no conflict with them, and since they are willing to not interfere with humanity, I will let them go as well.” Dulin truly meant it.

Of course, if the gods think Dulin is easy to fool, then they should be prepared to be killed by Dulin at any time.

"Of course, I will also kill those evil and chaotic gods. There's no reasoning with them."

“We also think there’s no problem with that, Mr. Dulin, please rest assured.” The sister smiled and affirmed Dulin’s decision.

Then she looked at Dulin: "We sisters are willing to serve you, Lord. Our mother was corrupted by chaos and had no intention of becoming the master of this land."

"Then what should we do?" Du Lin was about to push the door open when he heard this and stopped. This was indeed a big problem. Director Sun did not want to harm the world. Her sacrifice was now obvious to all. But the question was, if she didn't do it, who would?

This question brought smiles to the sisters' faces, and they pointed at Dulin.

"Me?" Dulin's eyes widened.

They smiled and nodded.

"That's ridiculous, I'm a man." Dulin rolled his eyes.

"Only warriors, regardless of gender, can save this land," the older sister said.
