Chapter 564 Once Again Possessing the Power to Give Up

crackling——

Watching the firewood crackle beneath the fireplace, tiny sparks flew out and fell to his feet.

Wu Wang had already arrived at the so-called staff lounge.

Everything here is exactly the same as when he last came here.

In addition to the murals on the walls, there are two more: one depicting a prison and the other a temple.

The instances Wu Wang experienced are still being recorded by the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord], and he can use these murals to travel back to the worlds he once knew.

So, in essence, Wu Wang and Hua Wuyin were not destined to never see each other again.

If he wanted, he could just grab a cup of coffee and go over for a chat right now.

Unfortunately, Wu would not do that.

He would absolutely not go in without figuring out what the [Lord of Desire] wanted to do with these murals.

Who knows if this is some kind of trap?

Wu Wang's gaze returned to the figure sitting in the rocking chair, draped in a light gray-white veil.

The other party said softly, "You're so glib. You should be glad you didn't get the qualification to meet with the [Eternal], otherwise, if that ancient relic had seen your frivolous behavior, you would probably be dead by now."

Clearly, the big boss had been watching everything from the moment Wu Wang used the effect of [Soul of Desire] to gamble with Nia through a contract.

Not to mention that they later used wordplay to cause the other party to breach the contract, leading to the flooding of the Temple World with the sea of ​​desire.

Just like when Wu Wang was summoned to an audience by the Lord of Suffering, the big boss knew in advance.

He naturally knew that Wu Wang had the opportunity to gain the qualification of [Eternity] in the previous instance.

But in the end, Niadu was left in such a miserable state.

Naturally, this qualification did not fall to him.

Wu Wang chose the path of heresy.

"But I just love your kind of crazyness, that you'd risk your life for fun."

"You're really to my liking."

The Desire Sea Spirit Lord reached out and lifted Wu Wang's chin with his finger, staring at him with his alluring gray-white eyes.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would likely feel an overwhelming fire of desire burning within them.

However, the Abyss God Mark on Wu Wang's wrist was burning hot.

This made him completely unable to feel any desire or temptation.

On the contrary, one can clearly perceive that there is no provocation in the eyes of the Desire Sea Spirit Lord.

There's only one kind of scrutiny, like choosing good meat at a pork stall in a market.

His use of the word "appetite"... might really mean it literally.

"Alright, your loyal employee greets you. Which piece of meat would you like to eat first?" Wu Wang poked his chest cheekily and said, "I personally suggest you take out your heart first. After all, my heart is called 'heartless,' so it'll be easier for you to eat it."

He seemed completely unaffected by her presence.

The Desire Sea Spirit Lord was as satisfied as ever.

With a casual wave of his hand, he summoned a chair from the side and forced Wu Wang to sit upright in it like a well-behaved kindergarten child.

He gracefully picked up a cup of hot coffee and took a sip.

He said calmly, "This story was not bad. I also got to taste the flavor of [Eternity], which infuriated that old relic. I will forgive your offense."

"Human, have you thought about how you're going to answer?"

Wu Wang tried to struggle.

I found that I couldn't lift my hands or move my feet at all; it seemed that the only part of my body I could move was my mouth.

Qinglong is absolutely right.

Those who have not fully awakened their talents have no human rights in the presence of the Venerable One.

I am like a lump of clay, left to be kneaded and molded by Him.

Helplessly, he said, "I've thought it through. Personally, I think this spaghetti should be mixed with No. 42 concrete. Because the length of the screw can easily and directly affect the torque of the excavator, you know? When you hammer it in, in an instant, it will produce a large amount of high-energy protein, commonly known as UFO, which will seriously affect economic development and even cause some nuclear pollution to the Pacific Ocean and the charger. Furthermore, according to the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily deduce that a certain artificially raised English chicken can capture wild trigonometric functions. So, regardless of whether Qin Shi Huang's cross-section is radioactive or whether Trump's Nth power contains sediment, it does not affect the fact that Walmart and Wilcon meet in Antarctica."

Listening to this serious-sounding piece of nonsensical literature.

The Desire Sea Spirit Lord didn't speak, he just stared at him with a smile.

As time passed second by second.

The death stare sent chills down Wu Wang's spine.

In a sense, it's also a test of when the big boss will finally reach his limit and crush his own will.

Isn't this also a form of upward management?

Finally, before the other party actually made a move, Wu Wang sighed and continued:

"Boss, first of all, I really don't want to be your spokesperson, but that doesn't stop me from working under you as an excellent employee, does it? Secondly, [desire] can bring me too much; I'm insatiable and can't even bring myself to say it. Finally, you wouldn't be just messing with me for no reason, would you? I haven't seen you last time; aren't you busy?"

He certainly knew what the Lord of Desire was asking.

Before leaving the staff break room, the other person told me to think carefully about what desire could bring.

Just like a teacher giving a quiz before get out of class ends, you have to check it during the next class.

Unexpectedly, the Desire Sea Spirit Lord's smile widened even more.

He said, "This time, you guessed wrong."

"Although you are very suitable, as the one who favors you, I no longer want you to be my spokesperson, and I am not in a hurry to know the answer to what [desire] can bring you."

"What I want to know is—have you decided which side you'll choose?"

"Your so-called real world is about to cease to exist. According to human timekeeping, it will probably only take about ten days."

"Will you perish with it, or follow the guidance of [Desire] to break free and become a more free Spirit Disaster player roaming across all realms?"

dong dong——

Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Is the real world about to cease to exist?

Holy crap! What is this guy saying?!

His gaze turned serious, as if he had made a connection to something.

Slightly toning down his frivolous tone and attitude, he asked, word by word:

"What have you done?"

Without a doubt, this dramatic change is absolutely related to the previous disappearance of the Desire Sea Spirit Lord.

Otherwise, Wu Wang wouldn't believe that during his previous encounter with another favored one in the Demon Prison, the big boss wouldn't come out and chat with him during the final settlement, and that he even used the Abyss God Bomb to force [Chaos] to abandon that world.

How could the big boss possibly let go of such an opportunity to ridicule the other venerable ones?

Therefore, His disappearance at that time could only have been for some purpose in the real world.

Furthermore, after returning to reality, Qinglong seems to be extremely busy, with even beings like the descendants of Venerables invading reality.

He merely threw out his sword as a deterrent.

However, he himself did not show up at all.

Based on Wu Wang's level of protection of humanity by the Azure Dragon, under normal circumstances, he shouldn't have allowed such a creature to run rampant in reality.

That can only prove that Qinglong is dealing with a more important opponent.

More important than the descendants of the Venerable One.

Then it can only be the Venerable One!

When he met Qinglong in the Soul Space, he said that the Venerable One would not appear in reality for a while, which also indirectly proves this point.

Brother Qinglong! That's way too short a time!
Ten days is not enough for a human to grow to the point where they can deal with a Venerable One!

Furthermore, if they could come into reality, wouldn't that represent the Azure Dragon...?

The Desire Sea Spirit Lord saw through Wu Wang's thoughts.

He said, "Don't worry, that human named Azure Dragon is indeed very strong. Even we don't know how he grew to the point where he can fight against a Venerable. Moreover, it seems that he has reached some kind of agreement with the mindless [Chaos], making that brainless guy also provide protection to the real world."

"But so what? That's all."

"In the end, he only relied on the fact that none of the Venerables were willing to stop him alone, allowing the other Venerables to take advantage of the situation and make their arrival a reality." Hearing this, Wu Wang's face grew even more grim.

He seemed to know what was going to happen next.

The fact that Azure Dragon and Chaos have joined forces does not mean they can fight against all the Venerables at the same time.

Even confronting one of them might be somewhat difficult.

After all, [Chaos] is now out of his mind.

None of the Venerable Ones wanted to be injured in front of others, not even in the slightest way.

Because besides having to face the possibility of being betrayed at any time by other venerable ones (specifically referring to a certain Venerable Lezi sitting in front of him who fears nothing more than peace and quiet), there is also the risk of being betrayed by other venerable ones.

Each Venerable One must also be wary of the covetousness of the Venerable One who is their opposite.

If you get hurt at such an awkward time, you might be completely swallowed up by your own opposite and disappear forever.

Moreover, there are also divine messengers who rarely appear, hiding in certain secluded corners to watch the tigers fight.

Nobody knows what these guys are thinking.

No one of high standing would dare to take such a risk.

Moreover, even disregarding the risk of injury, the Venerable One who went to stop the Azure Dragon and the [Chaos] alone was destined to invade reality later than the other Venerable Ones, or even not have the opportunity to invade reality at all.

That's like putting in the effort but not getting a single piece of the pie.

No venerable one would do such a thing.

The only solution is to continue waiting.

Until the right opportunity arises.

This also gives the real world a chance to survive.

It is clear that the Azure Dragon has a considerable understanding of the Venerable One.

He took advantage of the contradictions among these venerable figures and the checks and balances between their opposing sides.

This achieved a strange yet balanced state.

Therefore, Azure Dragon no longer cares about the intrusion of a mere descendant of a Venerable One.

His power must be used entirely to oversee the Venerable One.

Under normal circumstances, this seemingly fragile balance could probably be maintained for a long time.

It might even last until Qinglong dies of old age, or at the very least until he grows old and frail.

After all, to put it bluntly, a mere few decades or hundreds of years is but a fleeting moment for an existence at the Venerable level.

They could have waited until the Azure Dragon died of old age before invading reality.

In a sense, Qinglong is indeed protecting the entire real world all by himself.

He did a very good job.

unless……

There is some madman willing to take all the risks just analyzed to break the current balance.

"You? Big boss, don't try to fool me. You're not the kind of selfless person who'd willingly do all the work for no reward, are you?"

Wu Wang's heartbeat quickly calmed down.

They seized upon the loophole in the language of the Desire Sea Spirit Lord.

Other venerable ones were unwilling to take such a risk; he didn't believe that the Desire Sea Spirit Venerable could do it.

Perhaps, considering the possibility of injury, this madman, Venerable Lezi, would actually dare to give it a try.

But Wu Wang firmly believed that the Desire Sea Spirit Lord absolutely could not tolerate other venerable ones dividing up all of His spoils.

Selflessness is not a word used to describe desire.

Watching him so quickly glean everything from those words.

The Desire Sea Spirit Lord raised his hand and clapped.

Applause echoed through the warm staff lounge, fueled by the burning fireplace.

But this only made Wu Wang feel even colder.

He had a bad feeling.

A moment later, the Desire Sea Spirit Lord quipped, "That's right, I would never do such a thing."

"But... that doesn't mean I can't let other Venerable Ones do it. You poor humans with such short lives can't even imagine how many years I've been waiting for this day. My preparations are far more extensive than what your little brain can deduce from the limited information you have."

"The appearance of the Azure Dragon was an accident, but it will not affect the final result."

"Therefore, you have ten days to make a choice."

"Either follow your desires or perish."

"Oh, of course, you can also choose to follow other Venerables, provided you can accept the consequences of betraying me."

After saying that, he picked up his coffee again and took a small sip.

It's as if what we just discussed wasn't the destruction of a world, but rather the relaxed and pleasant topic of what to have for afternoon tea.

Faced with this posture of absolute control.

Wu Wang took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his temples, and found that he had regained his ability to move.

His expression also showed a hint of helplessness.

If the real world is like other instance worlds, it is only coveted by a certain Venerable One, or it is in the midst of competition between a certain two Venerable Ones.

For example, the Demon Prison is just like the Temple World I just experienced.

Wu Wang felt it was all alright.

At least there is room for maneuver.

But now, the real world is being watched by all the Venerables, including even the divine messengers.

Their attitude towards the real world absolutely does not include the word "give up".

Most importantly, humanity hasn't even figured out why these revered beings are so fond of the real world.

This can cause a lot of stress and headaches.

The real world is like myself now. I seem to have regained my ability to move freely, but in reality, I still feel like I'm stuck in an invisible quagmire, unable to move an inch, and even the air around me feels suffocating.

Wu Wang felt as if he had returned to the scene when he first met the fortune teller.

At that time, the other person told me that they did not want to accept those two unfortunate futures.

They still have the right to give up.

Now, it seems I have the power to give up again.

However, this time he wasn't giving up his personal future.

But the whole world.

"This is... a really difficult choice." Wu Wang slowly stood up, supporting himself on the chair.

He lifted his leg and walked towards the doorway where the staff break room should have been.

With his back to the Desire Sea Spirit Lord, he said, "Open the door, big boss. There are still ten days left, aren't there? I'll think about it carefully later."

Snapped--

With a snap of his fingers, the Desire Sea Spirit Lord created a door in front of Wu Wang that allowed him to leave this place.

He remained seated in the rocking chair, gently swaying, as if he could already foresee what Wu Wang would choose.

Before leaving, he instructed, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

Wu Wang, who had already stepped into the doorway, stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, grinned, and said with his usual sly smile:

"Hehe, I must survive."

brush--

His figure disappeared through the doorway.

Wu is dead; he has made his choice. (End of Chapter)
