A Universe's Gift!

(PS: The duplicate chapter from the previous article has been replaced with new content. If you haven't read it yet, just refresh the page.)

Li Hao sighed, "Time, you were not born in harmony with the Dao; the past is your weakness."

Time!

This is Li Hao's trump card!

The power of a fragment of a supreme innate treasure!

The Galaxy God is very strong, extremely strong; he is the strongest opponent Li Hao has ever encountered.

If it weren't for special means, unless one could destroy this universe, no one could defeat the Galaxy God in this world, because the other has already merged with the universe.

As the other person said, he is the universe!

However, the flaws of the Galaxy God are also very obvious. He was not a great being born into the Dao, but only reached this point through talent and hard work. In the past, in the distant past, the Galaxy God was not a Dao-achiever, but merely an ordinary cultivator.

If the Galaxy God can attain enlightenment, he can sever all ties with the past.

However, for reasons unknown, although he had merged with the universe, he did not undergo the final transformation.

This left him with his final weakness!

Of course, without the power of time, and the power to sever the past under the discerning eyes of the Galaxy God, this flaw still cannot be called a flaw.

The Galaxy God, who could reach the pinnacle of human existence with a mortal body, even surpassing the realm of celestial beings, could hardly be a fool.

He understood instantly.

Time!

Without becoming an immortal, one cannot attain eternal life!

This is not merely a physical transformation, but a change in destiny, a fundamental shift brought about by the River of Fate.

If one becomes an immortal, one can sense changes in one's own Destiny. Thus, when faced with Li Hao's sword that severed the past, he would not be completely unprepared.

After the Galaxy God realized what was happening, he revealed a complex expression.

So, it was because of time!?

The others had no idea what the two were talking about, but everyone knew that the Galaxy God might have been defeated!

Angel Yan and the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader were overjoyed, while the Holy Martial Emperor and his entourage appeared fearful and uneasy.

Li Hao remained calm.

The outcome was already predetermined; the attack that severed the past with a fragment of a primordial treasure had completely destroyed the foundation of the Galaxy God's Dao.

When the foundation of the Dao is destroyed, only annihilation awaits him!

"A very interesting attack."

"The Galaxy God said calmly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hao felt the surrounding space shift and distort.

Li Hao did not act rashly in response.

Since the Galaxy God was no longer a threat, the injuries from the destruction of Daoji were insufficient to support him in continuing his attacks, even if it was to vent his anger on Angel Yan and the others.

The space shifted, and when the scene before Li Hao returned to normal, he found himself in a void.

The surroundings were empty and desolate, a vast expanse of white.

Only a single, silvery-white sphere of light floated quietly in the void.

However, at this moment, the huge white sphere of light was covered with cracks, resembling a fine piece of porcelain that had been shattered.

The moment Li Hao saw the white orb of light, he already knew who it was.

Galaxy God!

This is the true form of the Galaxy God!

Li Hao said calmly, "What, you think you can turn the tables?"

"Heh, a comeback." The Galaxy God's voice was complex, tinged with a hint of melancholy. "I just wanted to thank you."

Li Hao was filled with astonishment and looked at the Galaxy God in surprise.

Thank you, myself!?

Has this guy been beaten senseless?

Li Hao said speechlessly, "Have you lost your mind?"

Galaxy God: "Sir, would you be interested in hearing a story from me?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, wondering what the Galaxy God was up to. But considering that the opponent had no chance of turning the tide, Li Hao didn't mind listening to what the other party had to say.

He said, "Oh, I wonder what the story is?"

The Galaxy God: "A long, long time ago, maybe ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago, it's been too long."

At that time, Azure Star was in great chaos. There was no unified country, no unified law, and not even a unified writing system. City-states of all sizes were constantly at war, plundering everything they could and destroying everything their enemies possessed.

In that environment, many religions were born.

Sometimes, a city-state might even have a dozen or so different sects, each preoccupied with mutual attacks, completely forgetting their original purpose of teaching the world. Faced with such an environment, wise men have begun to wonder: why do living beings attack each other? Why can't war be contained?

He was troubled for a long time and took many wrong turns.

Through trials and tribulations, the wise man finally understood. The reason there is conflict in the world is that living beings have desires, which are innate. The reason the world cannot achieve stability is because there is no strong ruler or a strong government.

After understanding these things, he established the original Azure Sect and began to travel to various city-states on the continent to persuade them to spread his ideas and doctrines.

Ah, but he forgot that peace, though desirable, requires bloodshed. Humans are driven by desires; no one is an exception.

He was constantly driven away, deceived, and even abused.

But he always maintained his original aspiration: to make the world a better place. He simply wanted to end the war and quell the chaos in the world.

After traveling for an unknown period of time, he gradually gained his own followers and those who believed in his convictions. Under these circumstances, the Azure Sect continued to grow and expand, from one city-state to another, and eventually spread throughout the entire continent.

One day, the wise man discovered that he had created the world's largest religious sect, with the most believers and followers in the world.

They would die for him, they would do anything for him.

Li Hao's expression was somewhat strange.

Is this guy talking about himself?

Li Hao was somewhat speechless and had mixed feelings.

He didn't know if the Galaxy God was telling the truth or not, or even what the other party wanted to do. But he could vaguely sense the sincerity in the other party's heart at that moment.

"Sir, are you wondering why I'm saying all this?" Galaxy God.

Li Hao remained silent, waiting for the other party's reply.

Galaxy God: "For ten thousand years, I have always adhered to my original ideals and my original intentions, hoping to build a peaceful and beautiful new world."

I know that in the eyes of you powerful beings from other worlds, I am merely a demon who plunders the origins of other worlds, a demon king who destroys worlds.

In my world, although the Azure Empire still has many inequalities and conflicts, it at least has some basic peace and basic rules.

He can protect the weak and restrain the strong. He allows the weak to have a place in the world, and makes the strong bound by rules.

Li Hao's expression gradually became serious, and he fell into complete silence.

Regarding the Galaxy God, Li Hao didn't know what to say or how to evaluate him. Perhaps, as the Galaxy God said, in the eyes of beings from other worlds, he was a terrifying demon king, a world-destroying fiend, but in the Vast Blue World, in his homeland...

He is a saint, a saint who guides civilization toward the light, a deity who protects world peace.

Who can truly distinguish between good and evil sometimes?

Li Hao felt a mix of emotions, but he had no regrets about what he had done or about killing the Galaxy God.

Because he is not a person of the Vast Blue World, but an enemy of the Azure Great World, and a guardian who protects his own Home and interests.

Galaxy God: "I am going to die, to perish completely."

Li Hao: "With the destruction of the Dao foundation, both body and spirit are annihilated."

The Galaxy God was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Shall we make a deal?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow and asked, "A transaction?"

The Galaxy God: "After my death, the Azure Empire will inevitably descend into chaos, unprecedented chaos. War, slaughter, and the negative emotions suppressed for ten thousand years will erupt completely, the entire empire will instantly disintegrate, and all races will gradually turn against each other."

Li Hao frowned.

He did not want to refute the words of the Galaxy God.

Because he knew that everything the other person said would become reality!

The peace that the Azure Great World enjoys today is entirely due to the suppression of the Galaxy God, who forcibly suppressed all conflicts. Once he falls, there will be no one left to suppress these conflicts, inevitably leading to unprecedented clashes and carnage.

However, although Li Hao felt reluctant, that was all he felt.

He's not a compassionate Saint who wants to intervene in every injustice he sees, nor does he feel compelled to lament every unfair situation.

He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who wanted to protect what he cherished.

Li Hao can fight for his own world, and he can fight for his friends in the Chat Group, but he can't fight for everyone.

Therefore, Li Hao had no interest in the affairs of the Azure Great World.

Li Hao: "Sorry, this kind of thing..."

The Galaxy God: "Therefore, I hope that after I fall, you can become the god of this world and protect it in my place."

Li Hao stared in disbelief at the Galaxy God.

Wait, did I mishear, or did this guy say something wrong, or did I hurt him so badly?

The Galaxy God to sense Li Hao's shock and confusion, and chuckled, "Although you possess power that I cannot reach, you are still too young. In your eyes, life may simply be your own existence, but in my eyes, life is not only your own existence, but also a thought."

Although I have fallen, you, who have inherited my ideals, will take my place and stride towards a more glorious future, towards a more enduring future.

And I will live on forever with the thoughts of Cang Lan."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly.

So, have these people developed mental problems because they've lived so long?

Thought!

Li Hao stated that he completely failed to understand the philosophy of the Galaxy God.

This Mortal Realm, which has transcended personal interests and even racial interests, is completely beyond his comprehension.

Of course, it's understandable if you can't comprehend it.

Li Hao understood at least one thing.

He killed the Galaxy God, and instead of seeking revenge, this guy wants to give him an entire universe and an interstellar empire.

Li Hao's eyes twitched slightly; he felt like he was dreaming.

He asked in confusion, "Why?"

The Galaxy God, "Because we share the same ideals, you could have destroyed the universe to stop me, but you didn't. Instead, you risked severing the past."

This shows that you have compassion in your heart, kindness towards all living beings, and goodness towards all things in heaven and earth. This is what we all share. Entrusting the Azure Great World to a benevolent god is better than letting it be destroyed in chaos and ultimately become food for other predators.

I don't want my thoughts, the world I created, to go to waste.

Li Hao remained silent, lost in thought.

So, I've been friend-zoned?

Not only is it a "good guy" card, but it also comes with a "good guy" gift!

The most ridiculous thing is that the person who gave me the "friend zone" card was actually an enemy!

So, should we accept this gift, or accept it, or accept it?

Li Hao was conflicted.

Inheriting a universe is such a momentous event; shouldn't we at least give the recipient some psychological preparation?

And is it really that easy to inherit the property of an entire universe, especially the legacy of a god you killed?
