Chapter 274 God's Mercy
"Is there anything you want to tell me? Eve, and this time traveler?" Gu Qingyuan said.
"It seems that Mr. Li is indeed not a simple person, worthy of being a person from outside the world. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Li. However, Mr. Li is wrong about one thing. I am just an immortal." The man said.
"It seems that the situation has indeed reached an irreversible point. Isn't it time to be frank?" Gu Qingyuan asked.
Zhang Li nodded: "I was originally an ordinary person who has lived for thousands of years. Thousands of years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky. When I arrived, I found a dying person. I received his legacy and gained a long life, becoming an immortal."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Gu Qingyuan asked back.
Zhang Li laughed, "To be precise, he wanted to possess my body. When our souls were entangled, we partially merged and I gained some of his memories. The collision of soul power caused neither of the two independent personalities to survive. What was left was a monster that was reborn with the memories of both parties, but my memories were the dominant ones."
"Then how were you born, Eve?" Gu Qingyuan looked up, "or in other words, the Silent Killing Field."
"I can't hide it from you, Mr. Li," Eve said, "I was born from the residual power generated when Mr. Zhang Li fought with the alien entity named 'Su Ran', and Mr. Zhang Li perfected it to form the current Silent Killing Field."
Gu Qingyuan shook his head: "In fact, I didn't notice it for a while. I didn't expect that the power of the Silent Killing Field that encompassed the entire world would weaken so quickly and become so weak. This is also a kind of darkness under the lamp! It was not until I started to build Skynet with you as the core that I discovered a clue."
He looked at Zhang Li: "You were hiding so well, why did you show up?"
"Because I am no longer able to maintain the operation of the Silent Killing Field," Zhang Li shook his head, "My fusion with Su Ran was not perfect at the beginning, so I have to enter a period of deep sleep."
"When I woke up again, I found that the world was in danger," Zhang Li hammered his palm angrily, "Su Ran did not arrive in this world alone, but was chased here by a force."
"As a product of the fusion of the two, that power followed my fluctuations and began to invade this world."
A trace of fear flashed across Zhang Li's face: "No, the target of that power is not me, but this world. I am just a signal source."
"When I woke up, I found that the world was in tatters, life was dying, not even a single life remained, space was collapsing, it looked like the end of the world, and only a small number of people were left struggling to survive. I don't want to experience that kind of despair again."
"So I combined Su Ran's power with the world's power to save itself at the end of the world, forming the prototype of the Silent Killing Field." Zhang Li said in a low voice.
"But it's too late. We don't have enough population, nor enough strength. That force destroyed the world too quickly and severely. It contains a property called devouring."
"He can devour all existence, whether it is people, spiritual power, space, or... civilization."
Gu Qingyuan was slightly interested when he heard this: "Civilization?"
"Yes, history, civilization, heritage, I don't know how to name it. In short, it is an illusory concept. When I woke up, part of my memory of history had disappeared. I don't know where we came from, what we have experienced to develop to where we are now, and what our ancestors did. All that is left to me is the nothingness that exists in history." Zhang Li said.
"But it was precisely because these things were devoured that the power was full and entered a dormant stage, giving the world a chance to breathe." "So I began to seek a way out, but the nothingness of history caused a gap in real technology. That glorious civilization became the ash of the world. Even though I organized the remaining humans, the progress of technological advancement was still slow."
"I quickly thought of a solution. The civilization in my memory is already riddled with holes, but the memory of one person is still intact."
Gu Qingyuan uttered two words softly, and something dawned on him: "Su Ran."
"Yes, Su Ran is an outsider like you," Zhang Li glanced at Gu Qingyuan, "Perhaps his civilization is very similar to yours. After all, you did not hide this fact."
"So I perfected the power of the Silent Killing Field, and used it to fill the history of this world with Su Ran's civilization memories, making this world a replacement for the civilization called 'Han'."
"It's a really brilliant move, worthy of praise." Gu Qingyuan said.
"It's just an inherited method. Su Ran has mastered a power called 'Fantasy Materialization'. I have extracted various extraordinary elements from history and materialized them through the power of the world. This is also the origin of the participants and spiritual outfits." Zhang Li shook his head.
"But the devouring power was too strong. The afterglow of the power alone gave birth to countless dark creatures. Dark creatures were born for destruction. When they descended into reality, they turned into all kinds of disasters."
"So I divided the area where that power was dormant into the dark plane, and built the spirit world between reality and reality as the first line of defense. The Silent Killing Ground was used as a recruit camp to train soldiers one by one and prepare for the arrival of the final moment."
Gu Qingyuan thought about that dimensional space and nodded.
Zhang Li sighed, "But that power is too strong. Just the power emitted by the dream talk during sleep destroyed some new civilizations and caused historical breakpoints. It's like when a human turns over in sleep, it is an unbearable burden for the ants under them."
"The more I gather strength, the less confidence I have. All I see is despair," Zhang Li sighed, "until you show up!"
He looked at Gu Qingyuan and said, "Your power is indeed strong. If it weren't for the slight discrepancy in Eve's profile of your behavior, I wouldn't even know that a Heroic Spirit had been replaced. Even though I checked the underlying data over and over again, I didn't find any mistakes."
"The Silent Killing Field was created by Su Ran's power and the power of this world. Only forces at the same level or even higher can fight against him!" Zhang Li said fanatically.
Gu Qingyuan has captured a lot of Zhang's thoughts through his small thoughts. He knows much more than what he said, and it makes sense logically.
"So what do I get?" he asked softly.
Zhang Li opened his arms and said, "My power, my memories, the Silent Killing Field, the world, everything, you can have whatever you want. We just want to find a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness."
"Unknown God, powerful being from outside the realm, this world begs for a little mercy from you!"
I want to write fantasy in the next world, which one is more suitable for me? Any suggestions?
