Ark, they don't revolve around you

"That's good." Xingji was obviously very happy. "The doctor is actually interested in the starry sky!"

She took a small step forward and was about to explain, but she saw Zhuang Ning pointing to the brightest star in the night sky: "What is that?"

"Morning Star, the brightest star in the sky besides the sun and the twin moons."

"It's so beautiful." Zhuang Ning sighed, not sure whether he was expressing his admiration for the gradually brightening sky or talking about that one star.

The light of dawn shone on Zhuang Ning's face. There was a daze on his face as he looked at the two girls.

Lan Du and Xing Ji heard Zhuang Ning's whisper:

"In Eastern mythology, the morning star represents killing and is a harbinger of war."

“This is… my war.”

(Volume 3, Prisoners, Evil Spirits, and Sinners)

Some words at the end of the volume + leave

It's the end of another volume, and it's time to make a brief summary.

The title of this volume is Prisoner, Evil Spirit, Sinner - to put it simply, it refers to the three stages of Zhuang Ning.

From being powerless at the beginning to being able to truly judge the entire Terra now, this book has been written for almost three months...

This volume is targeted as a transitional volume, but when I was writing it, I felt that I was still filling in the gaps.

Uh...let's not talk about whether it's filled out well or not, at least it's filled in a little bit, right?

However, I fell ill in the middle and late stages of this volume, which may have caused a decline in the quality of some chapters. I am really sorry.

Reflect on it.

I don't know how other people write books, but I usually like to preset a climax and then write the plot based on the climax.

That is to say, when writing this volume, the three scenes that came to my mind first were: Syracuse imitating the massacre of the Godfathers, Kazdel seizing the crown and accommodating the authority of all demon kings, and Lateran taking control of the law and judging the entire Terra.

However, every time I write, I feel that my writing is not strong enough and I can’t express the feeling.

Having said that, this volume, as a transitional volume, should have accomplished its mission.

The next is the most important volume, which covers many regions, including at least Victoria, Casimir, Leitania, Ursus and Columbia.

The word count of the third volume and the first volume is almost 200,000, and the second volume is 160,000, but the next volume should be the longest (after all, it has the most copies).

The title is the race.

The competition is easy to understand, as it implies dominance.

But apart from the meaning of dominating, the meaning of competing for the deer itself - treating the countries of Terra as deer, also feels appropriate.

I have to take a leave here.

To be honest, I didn’t really want to ask for leave, after all, I had already taken a day off due to illness.

But my writer's block was really serious, so after some thought, I decided to take a day off to sort out and perfect the outline of the next volume to ensure the quality.

I am very grateful to the readers and friends who have read this and have always supported this book.

See you tomorrow……

<Volume 4: Fighting for the throne>

Chapter 1: Death of the Horn

“Whoever will eventually shake the world with his voice must remain silent for a long time. Whoever will eventually ignite lightning must wander like a cloud for a long time.”

"Is this what a philosopher said?" Zhuang Ning tilted his head to look.

"Yes, that's what a great philosopher said." Precious held up her hair, "It feels very suitable for you."

"To shock the world with such a loud voice... is that a bit too much?" Zhuang Ning smiled, "I don't have that ambition."

"Some people, whether they are ambitious or not, just exist like this, Doctor." Precious smiled slightly.

Zhuang Ning saw that he was silent for a long time: "But I just want to go home."

The overly thin wrist embraced him, and the woman murmured: "I know."

"But I also know that you will ignite the thunder...you will become the thunder."

The woman's breath hit her neck, and her eyes were more solemn and sad than ever before: "Because you are Zhuang Ning."

"Doctor, how can I keep you alive?"

"How can we transcend the shackles and reunite?"

The whispers stopped abruptly.

——Amid the roar, Zhuang Ning opened his eyes and returned to reality from his brief dream.

The roaring sound came from the machinery under my feet. The drill was still operating, cutting through the heavy rocks and digging downwards.

This set of equipment is produced by Thor Industries in Colombia and is used for excavating large tunnels.

With Zhuang Ning's current ability, he could make the Originium tear the earth apart with just a flick of his fingertips, but he would rather use this gentler method.

"Pureseth...where are you?"

Today, there are similar large-scale projects in the wilderness of Yan, Kazdel, and Syracuse.

Zhuang Ning is digging up things buried deep underground and looking for the legacy of previous civilizations.

But he didn't tell anyone that he was also looking for a woman.

He was certain that Priss was in a sarcophagus somewhere, silently waiting for him.

There is no need to rush this. Zhuang Ning let out a breath lightly. Occasionally, when he relaxed, the memory of Precious would pop up in his mind.

Memories may fade but they will never be forgotten.

[Mission: The whole world is an enemy has started! ]

The sound suddenly echoed.

It's the system.

Zhuang Ning raised his eyebrows. This thing had been silent when dealing with Ratlan and Kazdel, but now it reacted.

[Congratulations, Demon King, now you have finally become the enemy of the world. ]

[The so-called demon king feeds on malice, and you are undoubtedly responsible for the greatest amount of malice.]

[Mission requirements: Conquer Terra. ]

[Task Reward: …]

Zhuang Ning frowned slightly, "Not going on?"

There were sighs flowing, as if mourning: "In the end, you still took this step."

Zhuang Ning's eyes suddenly turned dark.

Since he became the Demon King, theoretically no one should be able to invade his consciousness - except for this... system that he still doesn't understand.

[Task Reward: Part of the truth.]

[I know you have been studying how to go back, and you are also wondering what the unification of Terra, the recovery of the former civilization heritage and the solution of the starry sky have to do with your return home. ]

Zhuang Ning felt a chill down his spine and his hair stand on end - even though he hadn't felt anything like this for a long time.

dark.

The darkness that appeared before his eyes was something that Zhuang Ning had experienced before.

When he met the Wolf Mother, he was pulled into this space. That was the conscious empire opened up by the people of the previous civilization in the subspace. It was the embodiment of the people of the previous civilization's conquest of the universe.

Even Zhuang Ning, who had mastered the essence of Originium and merged with the crown, was still unable to reach this space. The system called him here with just a thought.

[Yes, this is a consciousness empire in the subspace. ]

[The secret place you have created specifically for yourself is a place that cannot be reached by observers of the starry sky.]

【Since you are no longer the same person as you were before, I can help you understand your doubts. 】

The space I created...

Zhuang Ning admitted that he was slightly frightened by these words.

His amnesia was still not completely resolved, but compared to that, he became more and more curious about this so-called system.

"What the hell are you?"

【I am a system serving you. 】

"I can't contact you normally because your real body is in the subspace..." Zhuang Ning raised his eyebrows, his mind racing, and he realized that the many miracles given to him by the system, such as sleeplessness and immortality, were inexplicably similar to the mainframe of Lateran.

He put the thought aside and lowered his voice: "Why did you disappear for a while."

[I have not disappeared, I have always been here, but I just decided that there is no need to contact you. ]

"What's the truth?"

【I can’t answer this for you.】

"What the hell are you?"

【I am a system that serves you. 】

Zhuang Ning felt a headache, and was sure that the system would never answer certain questions.

There is no doubt that it gave me a lot of help in the early stage, such as in the development of the antidote for Originium disease.

But after that, the system disappeared, as if hiding, not wanting to be noticed...

Even the dumbest person would immediately realize something is wrong.
