Chapter 165: Little life, pursue it with all your strength!
"Jiao Ming, your dream has come true..."

After reading it, Zhao Si was inexplicably moved:
The dream of the most evil god in ancient times was just to lay eggs with his first love, just like an ordinary bird...

"No, he is just an ordinary bird."

Jiao Ming is not someone who is born with knowledge and is naturally sacred, nor does he ever think that he is superior to other living beings.

He is just a bird who has been without parents since childhood and therefore longs for friends, but... who made him born with a true spirit that does not belong to ordinary creatures?
Born with intelligence, we are destined to not be able to play together with stupid and barbaric fellows.

But being born ordinary, he was destined to be unable to integrate into the naturally sacred circle.

Neither of them is his friend...

After he was born, it happened that all birds were paying homage to the phoenix. Therefore, he was noticed by Zufeng because of his extraordinary intelligence. Zufeng, with the intention of raising him as a consumable, gave him the bloodline of the Phoenix clan. From then on, he joined the Phoenix clan and became a real slave consumable.

When he entered the Phoenix Clan, he thought he would be welcomed with true friends and the peace and freedom he dreamed of, but in the end he first became a slave owner, enslaving all the creatures on the ground, and then he was sent to the battlefield of the war between the three clans.

But he didn't want to enslave others, nor did he want to be forced to fight. His long career in wars had exposed him to oppression and death, which were what he least wanted to see. This gradually shaped his character to hate war, which even affected him for three lifetimes, spanning hundreds of eras...

At this time, Hongjun's appearance gave him hope:
"This guy seems to be quite powerful, maybe he can really stop the war?"

So he chose to believe Hongjun!

So Hongjun sent it with him...

After being reborn, he could only reject Hongjun and then take the lead in showing off on the battlefield.

But playing badly is a sin, so when the war between the three tribes reached the later stage, Zu Feng decisively put him to death since he was already useless...

In his second life, he accidentally discovered that he could also awaken the spirits of all living beings, so in order to stop the war between the three tribes, he began to awaken the spirits indiscriminately!
This worked very well, he successfully suppressed the three tribes to an extremely weak level, their power was far less than in his previous life. If the Third Ancestor had not seen the situation and immediately started to fight, he would have almost won from the start.

But the Third Ancestor was not stupid after all, and he soon found a good way to deal with him: if he didn't want to fight, then force him to fight!

Finally, seeing that the Third Ancestor was about to break through to the Quasi-Sage level and being lectured by Hongjun, Jiao Ming, who had a mental breakdown, could only choose to sacrifice his own bloodline in exchange for enough power to bring history back on track.

He succeeded, and history returned to normal.

But he also failed, because people who shouldn't have died still died. He tried so hard, but in the end, no fewer people died, which meant that nothing had changed...

So there was a third life.

But when he killed the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Qilin with the most brutal means and made the Ancestral Phoenix collapse, he thought that everything was fine, but unexpectedly he became the focus of contradictions again!
The great sage who protected all spirits turned out to be an old stubborn man who hindered the development of the times.

If so many people hadn’t died, the prehistoric world would have no future.

So many people died, and it means nothing has changed.

In this dilemma, Zhao Si's extraordinary order became the last straw that broke the camel's back:
True? False?
He who is in the game and Zhao Si who is outside the game, their different cognitions once again conflicted.

As a result of the conflict, Jiao Ming gave up the perfect ending and the next reincarnation, and completely lost control from then on!

"Your third life is the third life of an ordinary bird, but it is definitely not the third life of a qualified protagonist!"

Zhao Si sighed:
Compared with Jin Bing, who is extremely wise and brave, the ordinary Jiao Ming undoubtedly seems useless.

This waste nature is reflected not only in his ability to advance the plot, but also in his cooperation with the player Zhao Si, and even more in his personal ability and mentality.

After three generations of accumulation, Jin Bing was gradually sharpened from a simple-minded little dragon into a golden sun. When the sun rises above the East China Sea, the infinite light of Emperor Jin Tian will dispel all darkness and coldness.

The Golden Sun always brings hope to all living beings. It always unites the forces of all camps and finally connects them into an unstoppable trend. It then rides on this trend and breaks down all corruption and obstacles!

He is the real sun, as dazzling and warm as the sun in the sky!

On the other hand, although Jiao Ming looked like a sun after using the Golden Crow True Fire, he could only bring death and terror. He was the real first evil god of ancient times.

Hope? Warmth? Light?

Unfortunately, Jiao Ming couldn't bring any of them. In fact, he himself was the one who lacked these three things the most in the entire prehistoric world...

It is a great irony that a weak and kind little bird can only become a terrifying ancient evil god.

As for riding the trend of the times?

That's even more ridiculous, because Jiao Ming not only failed to control the trend of the times, but also stood on the opposite side of the times. The trend was about to crush him...

The cooperation between him and Zhao Si was equally poor:
It would be fine if he didn't often ask questions, but he even dared to rebel. He achieved something that even Emperor Jin Tian didn't dare to do. He directly opposed the player's instructions and gave Zhao Si enough strength!

Jiao Ming doesn’t seem like a truly capable protagonist at all, he’s more like an ordinary person… who was accidentally chosen as the protagonist.

He is the protagonist, but his ability is not up to par. Everything is forced upon him. If he can do it well, it means he is the protagonist. However, he cannot do it well...

When everything was about to slide towards the worst ending, the only thing he could do was to sacrifice his life, a worthless life.

Well... maybe it's worth some money. "【Daoyou, you will definitely become a saint.】"

"Obviously, Jiao Ming is going to sacrifice himself."

As soon as Zhao Si saw Jiao Ming's short words, he knew what he was going to do:
He could only sacrifice himself.

"His true spirit was previously placed in the system, so even if he died, it would be restarted and his true spirit would not be left in the original world."

"And now Jiao Ming has rebelled against the system and taken back his true spirit. So once he dies, it will not reopen. His true spirit will remain in the prehistoric world and become... a sacrifice for the birth of the Heavenly Dao."

Zhao Si suddenly realized:
"System, did Jiao Ming intend to give up the restart from the beginning and choose to keep the True Spirit?"

[Yes, he had this idea when he knew that there must be an enlightened person in the prehistoric world, but he still placed his hopes on you, hoping that you could give him a solution that would satisfy both parties.]

Zhao Si's heart trembled.

Because he did not provide him with a good solution, but instead asked him to give up this life and choose the next one, which made him completely desperate...

"Then why didn't he oppose me from the beginning, but waited until Qian Kun Yin Yang had slaughtered most of the living beings before opposing me?"

Zhao Si was puzzled. This was the most abstract part of Jiao Ming's performance:
He only started to object after the massacre had already taken place for the most part...

【Because he... compromised. 】

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Si was stunned. What does compromise mean?
[To put it simply, he knew that shaping the way of heaven was the best solution, but sacrificing others made him feel painful, so he neutralized it...]

[The result of the neutralization is: Heavenly Dao must be born, but the number of sacrifices cannot be so large, so Jiao Ming deliberately followed your instructions and condoned the slaughter, but when he estimated that it was only a little short of the required standard, he rebelled against the order.]

[He couldn't achieve a better ending. All he could do was to minimize casualties... and use his true spirit to fill the remaining gaps.]

Zhao Si was stunned:

"You mean, he actually made the best choice?"

[For him in this life, there is no better choice...]

Jiao Ming knew that he could not make this life perfect. No matter how hard he tried, he could only have one choice:

Agree to the massacre and create the way of heaven!
Without making sacrifices and shaping the way of heaven, we will only go completely against the times and lead to a more tragic ending.

But Jiao Ming couldn't indulge in killing without any psychological burden.

Therefore, he chose to use his own true spirit to replace the remaining part. This way, he not only reduced the number of casualties, but also found peace of mind for himself, and also compensated the victims to the best of his ability:
He couldn't pay anything in compensation. He only had his own life and a true spirit which should be more valuable.

He tried his best...

"He is forced to solve a problem that he cannot solve. Then... there can only be one result..."

Zhao Si felt numb all over:
This is not a perfect ending, but it is the best outcome Jiao Ming has tried at the cost of his life...

"Why!"

Zhao Si couldn't help but curse:

"You jerk! Don't die! Stay alive!"

"You must survive and give me a perfect ending!"

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Just as Hongjun in the second generation tried every possible means to save Jiao Ming's life but failed.

In reality, Zhao Si was unable to save the life of Jiao Ming III.

Because this is the most desperate choice made by a desperate old man after his dream was shattered!

No one can stop a person who is dead in his heart...

Neither Hongjun nor Zhao Si can do it.

Not in games, not in reality.

Jiao Ming, who has made all the decisions, just wants to have the grandest wedding with his first love, and to realize his most original and ordinary wish at the last moment of his life:
Get married and lay eggs.

Then, die.
