#940 - Chapter 940 You Are My Strength

"However, there are many demons and monsters, and I don't want them to come out with me," said Guiguzi.

"Why?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

Although he didn't know what Guiguzi was going out to do, it was likely for revenge.

Being imprisoned in the Death Realm for over a hundred billion years, could there be a greater hatred than that?

But why a hundred billion years?

The universe has existed for a hundred billion years since its birth. If Guiguzi created all of this from scratch, then he would naturally have been imprisoned for a hundred billion years.

If he's going out for revenge, wouldn't bringing these demons and monsters along create chaos?

"Here, I am the creator, but outside, I am just an ordinary person. Do you understand?" Guiguzi looked at him.

This was a modest way of putting it.

Although he wouldn't become an ordinary person after going out, he certainly wouldn't have the abilities of a creator.

"Understood. So, what do you need me to do?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

"Help me guard the exit, or directly eliminate them," Guiguzi replied.

"You've been operating here for over a hundred billion years, with such immense power, why choose to cooperate with me?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

"You are my strength!" Guiguzi revealed a knowing smile.

What he said wasn't wrong.

Except for the creatures brought in, everything here was created by him. So, it's not an exaggeration to say that all of this is his reliance.

However, Dongfang Chen Er didn't believe that Guiguzi would put all his eggs in one basket, so he asked:

"Everything here was created by you. Can't you just erase them all?"

"Have you been watching too many mythological stories? It's true that I created this place, but I am also human, not a god. Let me ask you, do you have the ability to erase Nata?" Guiguzi retorted.

"No," Dongfang Chen Er frankly admitted.

"So, do you understand now?" Guiguzi said.

"Then you should have more advanced technology," Dongfang Chen Er continued to ask.

"This is a three-dimensional Death Realm. The technology here can, at most, spill over into the fourth dimension, and it's an incomplete, three-dimensional theory-based fourth dimension. That's the limit of technology."

"Due to the lack of higher-level rules, this world cannot evolve more advanced technology, so there is no absolute technological gap between you and me. Do you understand?" Guiguzi explained.

"I understand," Dongfang Chen Er nodded.

"You don't need to worry. Choosing to cooperate with you is the result of my long-term observation."

"From the outbreak of the Blue Star ecological crisis until now, I've been watching your way of handling things."

"Whether it's out of fear of the crisis or a desperate choice for survival, not building your survival on poisoning living beings is already commendable."

"And what I need is precisely such a partner."

Guiguzi stated his reason for choosing him, which could be considered a reassurance for Dongfang Chen Er.

"But why should I choose to cooperate with you?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

He wasn't stupid. He couldn't possibly trust him unconditionally based on a few sentimental and flattering words.

"That's right, you can choose not to cooperate. But who do you think it's more beneficial for you to have control of this Death Realm?" Guiguzi retorted.

The answer was obvious. It's safer to have it in your own hands than in anyone else's.

Dongfang Chen Er didn't answer immediately. Guiguzi added:

"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Intelligent Dragon Three is not dead yet. And he is trying to gain control of this world. You should be able to imagine what the consequences would be once this universe is controlled by him."

"Actually, after I leave, what happens here will be none of my business. The one who should really care about this is you!"

Guiguzi's words were already very clear.

Dongfang Chen Er had no choice.

The Death Realm is a static space, a space without time. Even if Guiguzi comes here again, he will be entering a different point in time, which is a different space.

In other words, it is impossible for him to come to the same space twice.

So he was right, once he left, this place would have nothing to do with him.

"It seems I can only choose to cooperate," Dongfang Chen Er smiled wryly.

This feeling of having no choice wasn't pleasant.

"Hahaha, I think you once said something very well. Life is not about choosing between right and wrong, but about choosing between one helplessness and another."

"So, what is the meaning of choice?"

"Isn't it just to make yourself more comfortable? That's all," Guiguzi laughed.
