Huo Yuhao also understood Xue Ke's thinking-or rather, the thinking of Douluo Star's planar consciousness.
But Huo Yuhao still said, "If I fail, never mind what happens to you and me or everyone else-what will you do about the countless living beings on Douluo Star?"
Xue Ke answered coldly, "Then failure is failure. Perhaps you'll think I'm cold-blooded and utterly irresponsible, staking every living being on Douluo Star on a single idea. You can curse me however you like."
"But let me tell you, if today is the same as tomorrow, this year the same as next year, and everyone has only one choice, only one path laid out for them, then to me, there's no difference between such a Douluo Star existing and not existing."
"Just as you said, if you fail and never reach the future, that doesn't matter. By then, Douluo Star's capacity to sustain life will have weakened. There may be all sorts of problems and troubles, even invasions from other planes."
"To say something irresponsible, I believe life will find a way to continue existing."
"And don't forget, by then we'll have the choice to venture beyond, rather than having no path but becoming gods. Even if the Divine Realm returns, that won't matter, because we will already have resisted..."
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a long time. Perhaps this was not the best choice, nor one that would settle everything once and for all, much less a safe choice. But it was a choice to resist reality...
Huo Yuhao said, "Then I'll keep calling you Xue Ke. Looking at you as you are now, calling you the planar consciousness or Douluo Star just feels strange."
Xue Ke said indifferently, "Of course. I don't have a name anyway. Call me whatever you're used to."
