So, is this world like a movie, constantly repeating itself?
It turns out that everything I had was a lie.
It was all a scheme set up to make myself God, and I was always the one playing the game.
So... so it was my own choice?
Knowing that this world has always existed, they have been on the path of destroying it, willing to pay any price to ascend to that Forbidden Divine Throne.
Break free from this so-called cage.
Li Chen was simply telling him the truth, making him understand everything. In countless reincarnations, he might have become a hero of the Human Race, or a villain like he is now, or just an ordinary person living a normal life. His body had reincarnated thousands, even tens of thousands of times, just for one ending.
So this is a complete cycle, a cycle belonging to the Human Race. The most ridiculous thing is that not even a single God has appeared to break this cycle.
Gazing at the shattered starry sky, Li Chen murmured, "It turns out I've always been at the forefront... constantly taking steps for my own freedom."
"Reincarnation... what a laughable cycle."
"This Throne Space was actually a threshold I set myself, a threshold to knowing the truth."
"Then will I stop?"
Will I ever stop moving forward?
"This may be the final cycle of reincarnation, otherwise I would not have forced myself into such a desperate situation. If I fail to achieve godhood, then both I and Human Race will perish."
Suddenly, Li Chen above laughed and asked, "Then are you willing to stop?"
"We have now reached the most critical moment."
"You've begun to master that Forbidden power. Will you choose to stop?"
"Tens of thousands of attempts, with each cycle Human Race will be annihilated once. You have seen the fall of prosperity, seen the world vanish into nothingness. I have seen every choice you made. You fought to the very end for Human Race, for the world, for your family and friends, but in the end you failed."
"And what will your choice be this time?"
At this moment, Li Chen's eyes hardened as he looked at the dilapidated, dim starry river and declared, "My choice has never changed. I will break free of this cage and search for that land of freedom."
So what if it's the final cycle of reincarnation?
"I'll return the favor with this: 'Forbidden are immortal.'"
Li Chen nodded silently, smiling as he looked at the spirited young man. Perhaps he had already guessed the outcome.
In his eyes, Li Chen was always just a boy. Perhaps he had gone through tens of thousands of reincarnations, but his outcome was always the same: "Freedom".
This boy who pursues "freedom" may fail, but each time he gets up, walks the same path again, and tries once more.
This road is built from the corpses of countless Li Chen, who chased this endless freedom with their lives.
Another half month has passed in the outside world.
No one had visited Li Chen's prison for a long time; it seemed as if they had forgotten him. The only sound in the quiet cell was the rolling of lava.
At this moment, Li Chen's hands and feet had recovered.
His body was almost at its peak condition.
Those powerful figures deliberately injured his body each time, because they knew that Li Chen, as the Eerie Lord, would most likely possess the abilities of those Eerie Monsters, so healing was essential, and they could only delay Li Chen's treatment.
For more than ten days now, no one has paid any attention to him, and the Forbidden Substance in his body has long since allowed his body to recover.
I just don't know what's going on in the outside world.
Even the Eerie Lord himself couldn't take care of them all.
Li Chen was contemplating whether to leave. What if those powerful figures from the outside world were still there?
But how will you know if you don't try?
Even after having his arms and legs broken again, he returned here already very familiar with the process.
I just don't want to try anymore.
Accompanied by a sizzling sound.
The iron hook on the lapis lazuli bone immediately fell off.
The surrounding magic arrays immediately unfolded, and red runes radiating an aura of destruction lit up.
They suddenly pounced on Li Chen like ferocious beasts.
"A magic array?" Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and all the magic arrays around him were swallowed by a black light. These arrays were nothing but trifles in his eyes.
After all, Vector Manipulation is indeed a great ability.
It seems that after so many reincarnations, I may have come to understand which abilities are most useful to me, and thus I chose them through Li Chen. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a door appeared during my awakening, allowing me to awaken this ability. Now I finally know the answer.
The fact that I understand what my future holds means that I failed again last time, and although the path I've chosen this time may be wrong, I must continue on it.
This is why Li Chen was surprised when he saw Li Chen, because he had not yet met the requirements to open that door. Knowing the truth too early was not good, as it would deviate from the Trajectory of the previous reincarnation.
Therefore, Li Chen is still completely unaware of everything. Li Chen has only told him the truth, but it is impossible for him to see the memories of the last reincarnation, because he himself is a consciousness, and his physical body has been devoured by the Eldritch God, so where would he get the memories to look at?
I am still moving forward alone.
March forward into the unknown, even knowing that the world is about to perish, keep moving forward, until death.
A Forbidden Substance was sprinkled down, and Li Chen's body was covered by a black coat. His long black hair was draped over his shoulders, and his face was sculpted with distinct features. His angular face was exceptionally handsome, and his expression changed drastically. He no longer looked like a prisoner.
Ultimately, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He had escaped from prison twice in just a few months, and he was somewhat helpless.
Li Chen glanced at the simple magic array gate in front of him, and with just a light touch of his hand, it crumbled into pieces like tofu.
Underground?
"It seems those people must have run into some trouble, otherwise no one would have stopped me from escaping."
I just don't know exactly what happened.
Could it be that the Evil Cult and Human Race have reached a point of no return?
Unconsciously, Li Chen quickened his pace. If that was the case, then this was the best time for him to leave.
The last time the Three Wastelands descended.
If it were just that burly man, he might not have been caught; at worst, he would have been seriously injured and left.
I can only say that I was tricked by that burly man.
Even powerful beings in the Wasteland Realm can be cunning.
