Chapter 431: Fellow Traveler

Lu Changsheng took a silent breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his chest, and said calmly, "Why?"

"Why..." Immeasurable True God seemed to be thinking about words, and the expression on his face gradually became vivid.

If we say that when we first met, Immeasurable True God was still a cold artificial human. Through the gradual conversation with Lu Changsheng, the "human flavor" of him now becomes stronger and stronger.

"You have seen the Battle of the Seven Gods, right?" True God Wuliang looked at the back of Lu Changsheng's head, seeming to confirm something.

Is this looking at my destiny?

Can he see the conversation I had with Yingtian in Tianqiong?

Lu Changsheng nodded warily.

"The real battle between gods is more cruel than what you have seen." True God Wuliang lowered his head and turned his attention to Lu Changsheng again.

"You have seen how the Awakened families treated the 'untouchables' in the Divine Kingdom of Zhouyi, right?"

"That was also the first time we met."

First time meeting?

Can [Temple Messenger's] vision, or memory, be passed on to each other?

Or is it that the [Temple Messenger] itself is an intelligent robot with recording capabilities and capable of completing demigod-level battles?

A robot powered by fragments of the godhead?

Lu Changsheng didn't say anything, but just made a note in his mind.

"The power of the Seven Gods is a million times more powerful than the three major families in Donglin City." True God Wuliang continued, "Their attitude towards other lives is also a million times more ruthless."

"In the era ruled by the Seven Gods, whether they are humans, demons, or even the physically powerful giants and dragons, they are all just slaves of the seven gods."

"The Seven Gods are really too powerful..."

"So powerful that they can control the fate of countless creatures with just their thoughts."

"Maybe it's just that the Seven Gods were in a bad mood one day."

"Thousands of people would die."

"Maybe it's just a sudden idea from the Seven Gods."

"Countless people will be sent to meat grinding plants and reduced to cheap broth."

"There have been people who have resisted, rebelled, and challenged the gods."

"Without exception, they were all crushed into powder."

"Do not disobey God."

"It was the main tone of that era."

"In that era, 'being alive' was already the greatest gift given by the Seven Gods."

The Infinite True God paused for a moment, and a look of memory flashed in his eyes.

He continued word by word, "That's why we have to cut off the long river of destiny."

"This world..."

"There shouldn't be a god!"

Lu Changsheng was slightly startled and silent for a few seconds.

He stared at the Infinite True God quietly, and said quietly, "Is that why you sent the [Temple Envoy] to hunt down Zhou Yi?"

"Is that why you utter nonsense to all the creatures who have reached the ninth level and drive them crazy?"

"Then why don't you deal with me like you did Monday?"

"Have all the [temple messengers] been killed and you have no more pawns to use?"

The Infinite True God shook his head gently, as if he were an old friend, and said calmly, "You are different from them."

"I can feel that you and 'our' ideas are consistent."

"None of 'we' want gods to exist in this world."

"Isn't it?"

Lu Changsheng was speechless for a moment.

Almost every god he has ever met is a cold-blooded monster who regards all things as stupid dogs.

From an emotional point of view, he really does not hope that a real god will appear in this world.

Power without any control will eventually destroy everything.

But he soon discovered the fatal flaw in the words of the Infinite True God.

"So, is it part of your plan to launch the demon tide and control the demon race to destroy the human race?"

"Kill all life, and no god will be born. What is the difference between your approach and those cold-blooded and ruthless gods?"

Lu Changsheng said coldly.

The Infinite True God turned his head slightly, looked at the throne behind him, and slowly said, "In order to seize the power of the Lord of the Void, I must completely integrate into the kingdom of God he left behind."

"In the process, I'm devouring him, and he's affecting me."

"It was not my intention to launch the demonic tide, but I had no choice but to do so. Only by carrying out the will of the Infinite Lord can I truly take his place."

"My other 'brothers' will make the same choice."

"Only by fully grasping all the authority left by the Seven Gods can we restart the world."

"To truly create a world where there are no gods, no oppression, and everyone can live for themselves."

"In order to achieve that ultimate goal, there are sacrifices that have to be made."

Lu Changsheng took a helpless breath and slowly exhaled it.

"Can you please stop talking about these high-minded nonsense?" Lu Changsheng tilted his head slightly and looked at the Infinite True God coldly.

"You guys..."

"It's always easy to sacrifice this or that."

"I always feel that the career I am doing is the greatest and most remarkable."

"It seems that as long as you shout an upright slogan, you can sacrifice others regardless of the consequences."

"As long as you build an imaginary utopia, you can raise the butcher's knife at everyone without any psychological burden."

Lu Changsheng paused, then took two steps closer to the direction of the Infinite True God, looked directly into his eyes, and said coldly, "Didn't you say so yourself?"

"'You' built the temple because you couldn't stand the deeds of the gods who looked aloof but treated thousands of living beings like ants."

"'Your' ultimate ideal is to build a world where there are no gods anymore."

"But what 'you' are doing now..."

"What's the difference between them and those cold-blooded and ruthless gods?"

"The dragon slayer...will eventually become a dragon."

"'You' are ultimately just the gods of the next era."

"Until the next Dragon Slayer comes to end your reign."

"This cycle goes on and on, endlessly."

The Infinite True God shook his head in disappointment, and said regretfully, "The reason why you are angry is because there are still people you care about in this world."

"You haven't completed the promotion of demigod yet, so you don't understand..."

"Once you take that step, your life will completely change."

"What you care about now and what you care about are just passing clouds."

"Your friends and relatives only have a lifespan of just a hundred years. To 'us', that is just a fleeting existence."

"Since you can't make up your mind to be 'our' fellow traveler."

"Then let's see it together."

"If all the things you care about disappear, will you change your current mind?"

The Infinite True God said and waved his right hand slightly.

A huge light curtain appeared in front of Lu Changsheng's eyes, and what came into view were the three characters [Fengdu City].

Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the corpses outside Fengdu City were piled higher and higher, and the piles were getting higher and higher...
