Hearing this, Zhao Han felt very gratified. "Stone, you finally understand."
"You've grown too."
"Now I can rest easy."
Wenren Sheng nodded as well. For Stone to manage this meant he had regained clarity.
That was very good.
So Stone began changing the world.
He first turned the people back from "stones," then placed his own power inside a display window for people to choose from.
People saw that his powers came in all kinds of varieties.
Stone had changed his approach, offering them normal terms of trade.
"If you want power, you must offer something of your own in exchange—money, time, or lifespan."
Someone soon said, "Stone, you really are a demon."
"You have this kind of power, so why not just give it to us?"
"Exactly! You even want us to trade our lifespans for it!"
At that moment, the two people who had spoken were immediately taken away.
They vanished afterward.
It was said that someone had killed them.
The ones who killed them belonged to an official organization.
The chief of that organization was very clear-headed.
"Everyone, get away from the window. We cannot allow any unpleasant words to reach the god's ears."
Before long, everything within five hundred kilometers of the display window had been cleared out.
All around the display window, there was nothing but flattering praise.
But Stone remained very calm about it.
He told himself:
I am a stone. That is the name my two Sisters gave me. I will be a stone from now on too. I do not have a human heart, and I do not need one.
Hearing this, Zhao Han felt heartbroken.
But Little Illusion curled her lips. "Isn't this good?"
"If you don't have a heart, you won't get hurt again."
Zhao Han sighed.
This did count
