Chapter 271
A man slowly appeared beside David. His eyes glanced at the gods and said "You are right. When I allowed the Universal Spirit to access the Virtual World. I was hoping the humanity to rely on the spirit rather than faith."
"Do you think you can become truly stronger through the virtual world? Do you think earning EXP is enough to stand out of the crowd? What is true? What is false? The realms are nothing but names. If you have body, spirit, and willpower, you don\'t need to be a god. You can crush a god."
"When you have faith in someone, you can never see the reality. I hide you inside the darkness but also gave you to tool to break the darkness. And, the process to do so only made you stronger. But, I was wrong. In the end, you still chose the path of faith."
"What makes us human? Adaptability! We can adapt to any situation. If humans didn\'t have god left, then they can push past their limits, access the spirit, and achieve the power to fight not just the aliens and monsters of our universe but every other universe."
"Do you think the Innate Ability works on another universe? If it wasn\'t for the fact that you have realized the laws and have stronger body, you would be nothing but a common person in the outer universes. Do you know why did I even allow the universal spirit to access the virtual world?"
"Because I believe the humanity. As the first human who had broken the void, I believe my people can follow my footstep and lead humanity outside. But, millions of years have passed, and none of you could ever reach the void, much less breaking it."
"Do you think resources are the reason why you aren\'t able to reach Void? Then, what about me? What about the first group of people who shattered the void to get the chunk of Primordial Chaos. We didn\'t have resources. We didn\'t have techniques. We didn\'t have innate ability."
"All we had was willpower to train and spirit to fight. We rose without any support, techniques, innate ability but we still reach the Void and break it. I don\'t care what other races think. They might be arrogant. They might be just lazy. Or, they might be just a bunch of idiots."
"What I wanted was to lead humanity out of the universe and explore the bigger world. But for the past million years, you people have given me nothing but disappointment. Three hundred years ago, I made a met with him."
"If he can make humans truly lose their faith in gods forever, I will be his slave. And, he succeeds. I knew the consequences of the death of divinities from the human race. But, he gave me hope. He showed me a world where humans can grow and become stronger with spirits."
Clap! Clap!
"Alright! Alright, it has been a long speech, Van. Just say that you wanted the gods to disappear without harming the human race. That\'s it! Let\'s begin the Battle Royale!" David and Van disappeared after David started the Battle Royale.
Around them, the barrier was getting closer and closer with each passing second.
Outside the barrier, Van looked at David and asked "So, are we really going there?"
"Of course, we are. I want to raise an army. And, what could be the better place to train an army than a world where time moves a thousand times faster than the normal world." David smirked as he looked at the spaceship in front of him.
"But, I thought that man destroyed that world as well." Van looked at David with confusion as he asked.
"It seems you have ventured outside the universe very recently." David looked at Van and asked.
"What do you mean by recently? I visited the multiverse millions of years ago." Van looked at David with confusion and asked.
"You are wrong. You visited the multiverse just a few thousands of years ago. But, when you returned, you return back in the past which has been changed into your current present. Do you really believe the multiverse war will just destroy some universe and some forces?"
"You truly don\'t know the effect. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a universe that was completely isolated and normal. On a certain planet, there was a small village. In that village, a boy left to play with his friends."
"After an hour, he returns back just to find that his parents are dead. And, their grandchildren are now the family elders."
"In another universe, there was a child who got stuck in a hole due to his friend\'s prank. Nobody came to help him until midnight. He slept there and the next day, someone actually came and helped him get out of the hole. He was very curious about the person who saved him but that person was already gone. When he turned back to his home, he found small huts instead of tall buildings."
"He didn\'t find a paved road. He didn\'t see people walking in fancy clothes instead of using leaves to cover their bodies. Later, he found that he has returned thousands of years back."
"In another universe, there was a man who had lost his parents in a car accident ten years ago. One day, he returns home from college, only to find his mom cooking dinner for him. After an hour, his father came back from the work. Nothing else changed but his dead parents\' back to life.
"Time, Space, Life, Death, in the war, people manipulated these laws to so much extreme that they changed the world. I hated that. I hated people using these laws to change the reality of others. Some change might be good but not all."
"That man might be crying with happiness after seeing his dead parents come back to life. But, the child who has lost his parents couldn\'t be happy. War always leads to destruction. Even though I was just a chubby kid who didn\'t have a good body and knowledge, I learned some valuable lessons in my life."
"I wasn\'t him. I didn\'t have the ultimate destiny. I didn\'t have a certain goal. I didn\'t have a cunning mind. I just wanted the world to be happy. But, when I wandered around the world during that war, I realized just how cruel my best friend has become."
"I realize just how careless and uncaring the people can be. My best friend wasn\'t wrong. He wasn\'t bad. He wasn\'t evil. He just wanted to protect his family and find his father. But, that made him wrong in my eyes. Just because you have power doesn\'t mean you should be careless and uncaring."
"There are zillions of creatures living in each universe. They have their families, their relatives. They might not have the power but they have a happy, sad, miserable, pleasurable, all kinds of the moment in their life."
"We shouldn\'t disturb them. But, that didn\'t happen. That war changed many things, changed the world, changed the multiverse. You think you are born millions of ago. Even you universe was just born some hundred thousand years ago according to the true timeline."
"That\'s why I needed to step up. I did. But, I got killed by my own people. He didn\'t even care about me when I died. They thought I betrayed him. But, was I? I was just speaking for the common zillions of creatures."
"So Van, I need your strength. Your talent might be lower than three swords but with my help, you can reach higher. I need your help to create an army that defeats my enemies. I want to reset the multiverse."
"So, will you help me?" David turned his head at Van and spoke with a smile on his face.
"You already know the answer otherwise a cunning person as you would never reveal everything to me." Van smiled as he stared at the black space. He was very much surprised to learn this much about the world.
Although he believed that David was a reincarnation, he didn\'t believe David was a good guy, especially how he uses everyone as his pawn.
"By the way, I still couldn\'t understand one thing. Why did you send your son-in-law to another universe? Even if he was here, he couldn\'t have done anything major, right?" Van suddenly turned his head at David and asked.
David shook his head and said "He was improving too slow. I wanted him to pace up. Even with Virtual World, he only reached the Commander Realm in two months, especially with his talent. That little guy only works hard when he is forced to."
"And, what could be better than a world where even the slightest misunderstanding can put his life on the line. During that time, I made some changes in his brain. I couldn\'t make him smarter but I could at least make some changes in his dopamine."
"Previously, he was only excited in cultivation whenever he felt he was losing to someone. But now, he gets an urgency to improve every single second. That\'s all I did. With that mentality and his talent, I believe he can improve at a rapid rate." David explained.
"But, then why do you need him? I mean you are preparing an army.. Is there a specific person that you and the army can\'t defeat?" Van asked curiously.
