An empty... pitch-black world.
A candle illuminates a book.
It seemed someone was watching... The rummaging grew louder and louder... until it stopped.
"Who... am I?"
"I think my name is Li... something like that?"
"They all seem to call me a monster... a creep... is that my name?"
"I think so..."
"But why do these things break so easily?"
Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
Click~
"Hmm? What made that noise?"
A little boy's head popped out in the candlelight. He picked up the candle and started walking towards the sound, enveloped in the silent darkness... It seemed as if countless eyes were watching him from behind.
The little boy quickly found the source of the sound; there seemed to be a picture frame on the ground, and the photo had slipped out of the frame and fallen to the ground.
"Huh... what's this?"
He slowly picked up the photo.
There's a group photo of several people on it.
Upon seeing the photo, his hand seemed to freeze, and a cold, emotionless voice rang out.
"So my name is 'Li Chen'."
The world is full of wonders; some people spend their entire lives trying to reach the end, while others are willing to die on this road.
But now that has been broken by one person.
They all say "the world is so beautiful," but my world is so broken and shattered... Why live? Why hope for a bright future? Is this a wrong choice?
Li Chen stood at the edge of the Withering World, speechless, his mind seemingly recalling... recalling his own memories. He could feel that he had forgotten many things.
So many... so many... but they can never be found again.
The deathly stillness emanating from the black robe grew even stronger...
Is the world driving me out?
"But what did I do wrong?"
"I've only come into this world... Why can't I live, not even for a second?"
"I can feel... everything about me is dissipating, my thoughts, my consciousness... are almost annihilated."
"But... why is my heart aching more and more... why is that?"
Li Chen's figure vanished in the blink of an eye... In an instant, he arrived at a spiritual land in the Savage World that had been completely devoured, where several ancient gods were devouring the corpse of a Venerable.
He merely glanced at the ancient gods.
The next moment, a torrential downpour began from the dark sky.
Countless Eerie Monsters crawled out of the darkness to worship...
The murmuring voices, like sacred songs, welcomed His arrival...
Li Chen walked on this road irrigated with blood.
My heart seems to be aching more and more...
Suddenly, he looked at a dilapidated hut in front of him, where a sliver of light seemed to be shining on his face. Li Chen raised his hand and squeezed it, and the hut exploded with a deafening roar, screams coming from inside.
It turned out someone was hiding inside.
But... even though I'm doing what I want to do, why does the pain in my heart still not lessen?
Isn't this what I wanted?
At this moment, He turned His head and looked at this desolate world again. His divine sense was in agony, and even as a "Quasi-Emperor", He couldn't help but let out a low roar.
What's wrong with me?
"What exactly happened?"
"Isn't annihilating everything the right thing to do?"
Suddenly, the sound of wind chimes reached my ears.
Two figures appeared before Him.
One person was dressed in white and wore a mask, while the other was dressed in black robes and wore a black mask; they smiled at Him.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
