Chapter 317 Dilemma of Choice

"Master!"

The strange situation here shocked the monkey:

More than a thousand bodies of true gods fell here silently, as if they were just sleeping...

Although the divine powers of these surrendered ministers were suppressed, even without the divine powers, they could not be killed easily based on the strength of the true gods' Dharma images. The immortal bodies were definitely not fake!
But from the monkey's point of view, these true gods died in very strange ways. The first few batches might have been wiped out by a surprise attack, but those who came later were not fools.

When they saw the bodies of their colleagues all over the floor as soon as they entered, no matter how tough a person was, they would definitely panic. If they had put up a little resistance, they would not have died without any noise.

The only explanation is that the master used some unknown magical means to achieve the killing:
They didn't even know they would die, so they were caught in the trap without even realizing it...

die?
The monkey was shocked and immediately thought of the "alarm clock" that the master had mentioned:
Although I don’t know what the “alarm clock” is exactly, my master said that a person who is awakened by an “alarm clock” is the same as being dead in the eyes of others.

Could it be that... these are the people who were awakened by the "alarm clock"?
However, almost everyone in heaven was awakened, so why didn’t this dream world break apart?
According to the master, once the owner of the dream wakes up from the dream, everyone should immediately return to the so-called "eternal wilderness".

But now...

The monkey reacted quickly, and tremblingly asked the white-haired, insane old man:

"Master... Could it be that the Lord of Dreams is not among these people in Heaven?"

Lin Liu nodded woodenly, then stared at his apprentice.

Hope, anxiety, madness... all kinds of complex emotions flashed in his eyes one after another. The possessed look made the monkey shudder:
Master, I'm afraid you're a little crazy...

However, the monkey can also understand the master’s complex mentality. After all, this plan was formulated by him in order to lead all living beings to a better "paradise"!
He wants everyone to be immortal, he wants there to be no more suffering in the world, and he wants to realize all his fantasies about "heaven"!
However, if this plan goes wrong, the consequences will be devastating.

Master, he really could become a demon that destroys the world...

Therefore, this plan could not tolerate failure from the very beginning, and the master also bore unimaginable pressure because of his insistence on this plan!
The admiring gazes and loyal cheers of billions of people will become his most effective death warrant:

Although these things would not directly kill him, the guilt and self-blame would wear away his will, thus indirectly leading him to madness and self-destruction...

"Disciple..."

Lin Liu's eyes turned red:

"The teacher will tell you a story... Don't be afraid."

The monkey has a Gordon in his heart!
Of course it knows what the master wants to tell it. The indescribable "alarm clock" will wake it up from its sleep, push it from falsehood to reality, and it will also die in this world...

The master has now been possessed by a demon, and he suspects that it is the master of the dream!
In fact, the monkey also thought about this.

Because it is so special, it stands out like a torch in the whole world:
It is the only non-human intelligent life in the world. It can speak like a human, can live forever, and is born in a stone womb. It is almost exactly the same as the monster in the legend!
It has the ability to see into people's hearts. Not only can it tell the good and evil in people's hearts, but it can also discover the master's special identity at a glance!

It can also find the "Spiritual Platform Square Inch Mountain" that no one else can find, and learn the "Bodhi Cultivation Immortal Method" from the "Bodhi Patriarch", transcending the mundane world in one fell swoop...

To be fair, if there must be a "Lord of Dreams" in the world, this one is almost the most suspicious!

Now, the master, who had almost killed all the people in the heaven without success, finally set his crazy eyes on it...

Are monkeys afraid of death?
Of course it is afraid of death. If it were not afraid of death, it would not have traveled across the ocean alone to seek the elixir of immortality for itself and its monkeys!
But monkeys don’t have to be afraid of death as long as they have goals and responsibilities that transcend life and death.

In order to ensure the immortality of all its monkeys, it even dared to go down to the sea alone, risking its life, and paddling a broken raft across the vast ocean!
Its commitment and responsibility to its monkeys and grandchildren outweigh its fear of death.

Similarly, now that the master's plan has been thwarted, a single mistake could kill the master and everyone else. At such a critical moment, a glimmer of hope is placed on it:
Master needs it, and so do all sentient beings!

So, after a brief moment of stagnation and panic, the monkey gradually regained his composure...

It took a deep breath, and then even managed a smile:
"Master, please go ahead and tell me! I have only just woken up from a dream. I will go over there and wait for you, and scout the way for you!"

The disciple's pretentious and carefree words seemed to have awakened some of Lin Liu's rationality.

Looking at his disciple who was forcing a smile, Lin Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation... But in the end, he still spoke:

"...The reason why I am the protagonist is because there is a mysterious existence..."

"He is me, but also not me. He will help me make some decisions, but He will not interfere with me all the time..."

“So, I call Him [my other self]… Of course, you can also call Him by His name.”

【“His name is Zhao Si…”】

【…】

[Very quickly, you finished explaining the general concept, and in order to make it easier for your apprentice to understand, you even explained many details in detail.]

[The monkey was more and more surprised as he listened. He only knew that you were the one who could start over, but he never knew there were so many secrets! ]

[The "other self" in the dark, the nodes of life choice, each node represents a branch line...]

[It couldn't help but ask curiously: "Can that person named Zhao Si really help you make a choice? Where is he from? Eternal Wilderness?"]

[“Such a powerful person must be more powerful than the original body of the Emperor of Heaven in the prehistoric times…”] [Your narration seemed to have opened the door to a new world for it. Curious, it couldn’t help but ask questions one after another, and had completely forgotten some of the things that had just happened.]

[But you don't answer its questions one by one. Besides the fact that these questions are very tricky, the bigger reason is...]

[“Are you… okay?”]

[You stare at the curious monkey in amazement, and feel that everything in front of you is even more confusing than the destruction of the world! ]

[Why is it still standing? ]

[All the ministers who surrendered from the Heavenly Court in front of them, after hearing this story, were all in panic and confusion, and fell unconscious one after another, without exception! ]

[Therefore, you have even made two plans: if the monkey is really the master, then after the dream world is shattered and you return to the "eternal wilderness", you will celebrate with them, even if you have to apologize in person and punish yourself.]

[And if the world remains unchanged after the monkey wakes up, then continue to set the "alarm clock" for all living beings until they find it! ]

[But you never thought about what to do if it doesn't wake up...]

[Then, the master and the disciple looked at each other in bewilderment...]

[“I… am fine?!”]

[After you reminded him, the monkey immediately realized what was happening, his face full of relief and confusion: It’s a good thing that he’s not dead, but... why is he not dead? ]

【Something is wrong! 】

[You checked its condition out of disbelief and even tried it a few more times...]

[But no matter how you check, the monkey is normal. After hearing this fatal secret, it is fine! ]

[You gained nothing, so you just fell into deep thought...]

[Thinking…]

[Thinking…]

[You gave up thinking in confusion...]

[“Who cares!”]

[If you really can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it! ]

[Anyway, this experiment can confirm one thing for you: you can’t find a breakthrough in monkeys.]

[Whether it is the master of the dream or not, you have no way to verify it. Now you can only assume that it is not the master and shift your attention to others.]

[And if everyone else wakes up and only the monkey remains awake, then it can only be it! ]

So you decide to use the process of elimination...

[But now you have almost killed all the gods in heaven, and the only suspicious targets between heaven and earth are the gods under your command and billions of people. ]

[Just as the Emperor of Heaven has analyzed for you before, if you want to take action against them, it is very likely to cause the most serious rebellion, so you must be prepared in all aspects! ]

[As for the gods under your command, you can't trick them into coming in and attack like you did with the group of gods in heaven whose powers were sealed. After all, they are not fools, and they will definitely fight back after realizing the danger.]

[You can't be reckless, you have to find a way to make them obey...]

[Soon you will have a good idea: Blood Godson! ]

[Blood God Son can completely control a person's mind. When you were just starting out, it saved you a lot of hard work. With just one invisible Blood God Son, you can gain an absolutely loyal fan.]

[If I give the Blood God Seeds to the gods under my command, and then use the "Alarm Clock", then...]

[However, you hesitated again.]

[Because you have always hated using this method to control people's minds, you have never used it except for using it to control a group of mortals to help preach at the beginning.]

[Now, are you going to use it to control other people's minds on a large scale? ]

【Reason tells you: Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details! 】

[But feelings tell you: wantonly playing with people's hearts is the method that only the most evil people would take! ]

[So you are in a dilemma...]

[Ding! When faced with the question of whether to use the Blood Godson on a large scale, you are struggling in your heart. Reason and emotion are on each side, and they both tell you their own reasons...You choose: (?)]

[A: No, how can a righteous partner use evil methods wantonly? After all, the Blood God Son is just a convenient evil prop used at the beginning. If you use it frequently, sooner or later you will lose yourself in the power and desire of wantonly playing with and controlling people's hearts! B: Use it! Just think of it as for the sake of the people of the world, okay? Use the Blood God Son on the gods! ]
