I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.
Chapter 254 You Can Be Unfair
Inside the ruins of Yu, on the steps, Wang Wei and the woman in plain clothes stood side by side.
"It has finally come to this." The woman in white spoke softly, as if talking to herself.
"Ten thousand years ago, our entire clan ventured into the starry sea, without asking when we would return." She paused, her gaze falling on the churning clouds in the distance.
"Unexpectedly, the problem arose with later generations."
After saying that, she looked at Wang Wei and said, "You need to grow up as soon as possible, grow up to the point where you can turn the tide."
Wang Wei was taken aback.
"Senior, why be so pessimistic?" he said. "Perhaps the predecessors of the Yu Dynasty have already resolved everything."
The woman in plain clothes shook her head, a bitter smile playing on her lips: "If that were truly the case, our dynasty wouldn't have remained silent for so long."
Her gaze returned to Wang Wei, this time with a scrutinizing look.
"Being invincible alone doesn't make you truly invincible. Faced with a being capable of annihilating an entire realm with a flick of their finger, can you protect this place?"
Wang Wei was speechless.
His invincible domain only extends forty kilometers, far from being able to protect an entire world.
The number of safe points required for upgrading a safe house is increasing, and even if you want to cover the entire Dragon Kingdom, the number of safe points needed is an unimaginable astronomical figure.
After a moment of silence, Wang Wei asked, "How much time do we have left?"
"Perhaps a thousand years, perhaps a few hundred years..." the woman in plain clothes said softly, "So, within a hundred years, you must at least be able to protect this realm."
Wang Wei frowned.
A century sounds like a long time, but covering the entire world with safe houses is so difficult that he doesn't even want to think about it.
Wang Wei thought for a moment,
"Continuous promotions!" he murmured to himself.
The coverage of safe houses is rapidly expanding in Yuxu.
One kilometer, three kilometers, ten kilometers, fifty kilometers... An invisible net stretches out in all directions along the boundaries of the territory.
A moment later, the expansion of the domain ceased, and the promotion ended.
Wang Wei looked towards the safe house:
Safe House (Growth Type)
Rating: Supreme
Combat Power: +∞
Function: Activates the innate ability to create an absolutely safe zone covering an area of 148.31 square kilometers. Within the safe zone, the host is in a state of absolute invincibility.
Superpower:
Insight – Provides insight into the self-information of all targets within the safe house's perimeter.
Reflection – Allows real-time observation of the scene within a certain range outside the safe house; the range increases as the safe house advances.
Shape shifting – the ability to change the shape of a safe house.
Energy Transfer – This ability can remove the special abilities of targets within the safe house's area and transfer them to other targets, causing them to awaken the corresponding special abilities.
Limitations: Safe houses cannot be moved in real time. The lifespan of a safe house is approximately 4063 years. The ability can be used every 1 day.
Details: Upgrade requires 14830590 safety points.
Wang Wei looked at the scope of his new domain and fell silent.
He spent a total of ten trillion security points to increase the safe house area from over forty square kilometers to one hundred and forty-eight square kilometers.
It should be noted that the territory of the Dragon Kingdom alone exceeds ten million square kilometers.
Even if he wiped out all the calamity beasts and took over all seven remaining stone towers of the Seventh Purgatory, it still wouldn't be enough.
However, Wang Wei's eyes lit up.
There is also Imperial Star City.
He had already learned from the golden-eyed beast that Li An had been taken away by the people of Emperor Star City.
There must be something he needs in the place where that purple ember is.
"Looks like we need to get to Imperial Star City as soon as possible..." Wang Wei murmured.
"It seems you have a plan." The woman in plain clothes looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. "After you leave, I will isolate Yu Xu again and cover everything up here once more to buy as much time as possible."
"Okay." Wang Wei nodded and turned to walk towards the exit.
Halfway through his journey, he suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at the woman in plain clothes.
"Senior," Wang Wei's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear, "why are you so sure I'd get involved in these things?"
His meaning was very simple.
Does he need to care whether the world is destroyed or not?
In this life, he only wanted to be a spectator, but he was unexpectedly thrust into this position.
Moreover, the woman in plain clothes seemed to have been convinced from the beginning that he would take care of it.
The woman in plain clothes did not rush to answer.
She turned around, her gaze falling on the fading golden sky outside the Yu Ruins.
Moonlight streamed down from the dome, falling on her shoulders like a thin layer of frost.
Her profile was partially obscured by the light and shadow, making it impossible to discern her expression.
A moment later, her voice rang out.
Ultimately, whether you manage it or not is up to you. But if you don't have the ability to manage it, that's a completely different situation. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
She paused.
"If you lack ability, you don't even have the right to choose. If you have ability, you can choose to manage or not. That is true freedom."
Wang Wei remained silent.
The woman in plain clothes withdrew her gaze and suddenly smiled.
That smile made Wang Wei somewhat lost in thought. There was an indescribable sense of relief in the smile, as if a stone that had been pressing down for thousands of years had been put down.
"Just be yourself," she said.
"You said that treating everyone equally is the greatest injustice," the woman in plain clothes said softly. "Now, you can be unfair."
Wang Wei was taken aback.
He didn't expect to hear such a reply.
He thought that women would say things like "For the sake of all living beings" or "This is your responsibility."
But she didn't.
She simply said, "You can be unfair."
There was silence for a moment.
"Senior," Wang Wei asked, "how old are you?"
The woman in plain clothes was taken aback by what she heard.
She clearly hadn't expected Wang Wei to ask that; her lips moved, but she didn't utter a single word.
Wang Wei smiled, and without waiting for her reply, turned and walked into the mist.
The woman in plain clothes stood there, watching the figure disappear into the swirling white mist, and remained stunned for a long time.
She stood on the white jade bridge, gazing in the direction where Wang Wei had disappeared, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
During the scene replay, she saw the cowardice of the Human Alliance, the grandiose "big picture" narratives, the ordinary people who were abandoned, and everything Wang Wei had experienced.
"Can you do better than those people?" she whispered, her voice as soft as a sigh.
She didn't know the answer either.
The lower class feels that the upper class is unfair, but once they become upper class, who can guarantee that they will do better than their predecessors?
Power corrupts, and strength changes.
She's seen far too many people like that.
In youth, one is full of passion; in old age, one is consumed by worldly concerns.
Once they gain power, they become even more ruthless.
........
Dawn breaks over the city south of the Yangtze River.
Everyone stood still, waiting for Wang Wei to return.
The Alliance's top brass has been executed, but there are still millions of superhumans who have been stripped of their abilities and have not been dealt with.
And Zhou Yao...
