Chapter 1681: Chapter 657: Trillions of Years of Servitude [4,000 Characters]_3

"This kind of reversal appears to only slightly surpass Zheluo’s Zeroing, but it is an entire cosmic level higher! This can even reconstruct consciousness; it’s true time reversal!"

"We succeeded. Ren Zhong also succeeded. He held his ground, and he destroyed the Demon Infant that aggregated our consciousness projections. He even reached the thought complex that aggregated our instinctive thoughts and entered the inner world of this complex. The moment he arrived here, we burrowed into his inner self and successfully relocated here—to the deepest part of Ren Zhong’s subconscious."

"This is the entire process. You can digest it by yourselves first."

The City Lord waved his hand, saying no more.

Tai Hong and Zhinü exchanged a glance, seeing bewilderment in each other’s eyes.

They were still somewhat skeptical, yet simultaneously fearful.

If the City Lord’s story is true, then the true potential of Ren Zhong and his Red Blade Army is far more than what is currently apparent.

In the war of the Ancient Disk Galaxy, the Red Blade Army, the weakest side for now, might very well become the eventual winner. From the perspective of the Spirit Demon Race, indeed, Tai Hong and Zhinü should be afraid.

Yet it is the same logic, if the story is true, then Tai Hong and Zhinü should transcend the limitations of their Spirit Demon Race identity and view this matter from a broader perspective.

They both should hope for Ren Zhong to win, and he must win.

This is very contradictory.

After thinking for a long time, Zhinü finally asked, "Does Ren Zhong himself know what you have said?"

City Lord: "He does not know. All along, the thought complex of ours that makes contact with him directly is a new, independently evolved entity. She possesses only the inherent instincts and intellectual instincts of each of us but not our memories. She has her independent personality. Therefore, no one can tell Ren Zhong these things."

Zhinü: "Aren’t you worried that after we leave, we might tell him the truth? Or choose to side with Zheluo?"

The City Lord chuckled, "Firstly, you cannot leave. Secondly, Zheluo will not trust any humans, including you. You are not foolish and should clearly be aware of this fact. Moreover, if possible, I would instead wish someone could go out and convey a message to Ren Zhong. At least then, he would not be so lonely now. Among all of us, he struggles the most yet lives the longest. Though my life spans countless years, my conscious time is not much, mostly in frozen slumber. Other companions could not break out of the Source Star, which is both unfortunate and fortunate. Because after coming to the world after death, they have company, at least not solitary."

"Time continually amplifies a person’s psychological scars, yet Ren Zhong has obtained an eternal lifespan. We do not know how much longer he needs to strive, but it must be an immensely painful process. Yet, he has to figure out everything on his own. Only when he truly dies can we leave his underlying subconscious, and he can enter the realm after death to see us."

Zhinü caught the highlight, "What? Are you joking, you first said he has eternal life, and then you said only if he dies can we leave, isn’t this contradictory? If he indeed achieves the ultimate victory as you expect, he would live forever, so wouldn’t we be trapped here forever?"

City Lord: "No, regardless of success or failure, he will die. If he fails, there’s no need to elaborate; we would merely gain another companion. We can only face failure calmly. But even if he succeeds, he will ultimately die sooner or later."

Tai Hong: "Who can kill him?"

City Lord: "Loneliness and ideals."

Zhinü: "What do you mean?"

City Lord: "No one can truly conquer loneliness, only endure it. No matter how long Ren Zhong lives in this era, he can’t forget the memories of the old era. No matter how many friends he has in this era, his most sincere emotions still reside in the past. This is the imprint left by the era on people like us that cannot be erased."

"Moreover, Earth humans, as carbon-based lifeforms, have an inherent fear of immortality. Sometimes, death is also a kind of happiness. This is also what truly distinguishes Earth humans from Zheluo. We, who entered frozen slumber in the old era, are destined to be rootless duckweed. What supports us is merely the sense of responsibility towards human civilization."
