Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3487: Untitled

Gus gasped.

However, the Fist King had seen through the devil’s tricks long ago.

As expected of the ‘god’ who created this world. Everything was within his control.

“Listen, Gus. It is impossible to eliminate Lu Qingchen, who has turned into a lightning creature, with ordinary methods. He is too cunning and unpredictable. Therefore, I can only use myself as bait.

The boxing champion said solemnly, “When Lu Qingchen thought that he had found my fatal weakness, he revealed all his strength and tried to corrupt and infect my entire brain.

“When the time comes, I hope you can keep him occupied.

“As long as you can stall him, even if you only touch him, the tracking and locking program that I just planted in your body will be transferred to Lu Qingchen and lock him in this virtual space so that he will have nowhere to hide.

“This is the only way to annihilate Lu Qingchen and the lightning-like life form. It concerns the safety of billions of creatures in the entire Pangu Universe. The poisoned Pangu Universe can no longer withstand the torment of a devil incarnate such as Lu Qingchen. You are the key to saving the world. Do you understand?”

Gus swallowed hard.

He suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

But he felt warm in his heart.

The Fist King, the creator of this world, the legendary god, actually said that he was the key to saving the world?

The young man had never felt that he was so important.

He could not help but want to laugh.

But in the next second, he woke up and felt ashamed for his childishness and weakness.

“Why? Why? Why?”

Gus took a deep breath and clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails pierced through his palms.

He stared at the Fist King and summoned his courage. “Why should I help you? Why should I save the Pangu Universe? I don’t know anything about the bullsh*t Pangu Universe. Do I have to obey your commands unconditionally just because I am your creation?”

The moment the words left his mouth, the young man was somewhat surprised. He did not know when he had become so bold as to say such words to the legendary ‘God of Creation’.

But in the next second, he felt that it was only natural. Since the Fist King was the God of Creation, the rules of the Fist God’s World were all under his control. Everything that happened here was part of his script.

Then, he would have to be responsible for the death of Gus’s parents. If not for the murder of his father, he would not be far from it.

Gus did not feel that he had to listen to the boxing champion.

He wanted to be a real man, and so did the boxing champion. Therefore, they were equal!

The moment he chose the devil, Gus had been prepared for the worst. The boxing champion might have thousands of ways to kill him easily, but the young man would never disobey his will!

“I will not force you, nor do I need to destroy you.

The Fist King seemed to have seen through Gus’s thoughts. He smiled humanely and said, “Mutants like you are very rare. I admit that you have certain features of a real life, just like me in the past. You are the ‘seed of life’. Therefore, I respect your existence and am willing to communicate with you as an equal.

“Tell me, what will it take for you to help me?”

The young man glared.

He did not expect that the God of Creation would be so easy to talk to.

They started negotiating as if they were doing business, which made Gus feel somewhat embarrassed, as if he were selling out Lu Qingchen.

Then he realized that Lu Qingchen was a devil and had admitted that he was making use of Gus. Selling a devil did not seem to be a problem.

However, what conditions should he propose to the boxing champion?

Gus thought hard and asked cautiously, “Will I be able to protect the Fist God’s World if I help you destroy Lu Qingchen?”

“Sure.”

The Fist King replied straightforwardly, “For you, this is a world. But for me, it is just one of the thousands of virtual laboratories. The computational ability needed to maintain the world of the Fist God is but a drop in the bucket for me. As long as I can kill Lu Qingchen once and for all, I can agree to your conditions.

“You don’t need to worry that I will go back on my word. Firstly, the computational ability and energy required to maintain the Fist God’s World are really not much. I won’t go against my principles for such a small amount of resources. Otherwise, my thinking logic will malfunction, and the so-called mental devil will appear.

“Secondly, it is very rare for a random mutant to be born like you. It will be worth it even if I have to prepare a new virtual world for you.

“However, I don’t want to lie to you. There are three things that I want you to think through.

“Firstly, you’ve seen what the Fist God’s World looks like right now. Order has collapsed, and the flames of war are raging. Both the Fist God’s Temple and the Steam Legion are getting more and more extreme, bloody, and brutal. Even if I keep the Fist God’s World from collapsing, the world will be soaked in mountains of corpses and seas of blood for hundreds of years to come. It will be a hell of cannibalism.

“Please think about it carefully. Are you really willing to live in the depths of such a war-torn, disaster-ridden hell and watch all your ‘compatriots’ suffer excruciating pain?

Gus was stunned.

The question had never occurred to him before.

He had thought that everything would be fine as long as the Fist God’s World was maintained. But it never occurred to him that the development of history had its own pattern. The Fist God’s World had reached a dead end and was on the verge of collapse. Even if it was maintained, it would only turn into a rotting corpse.

“Of course, I am the creator of this world. I have the right to modify and explain everything. I can change the appearance of the Fist God’s World on a large scale and turn the timeline back to three to five thousand years ago, when the Fist God’s Temple was at its peak and the social order was relatively stable.

The Fist King said, “But if I do that, I will have to erase countless virtual characters and create countless new ones. I don’t think that it is fundamentally different from shutting down the virtual world.

Gus was deep in thought.

It seemed to be the case.

The young man still thought the question was simple. Faced with the questioning of the boxing champion, he simply could not refute.

“Thirdly, of course, I can also mobilize more computational ability to make a general migration on the data.

The Fist King said, “I can keep the virtual memories of all the virtual humans in the Fist God’s World. Then, I will move you all to a new virtual world, a place of miracles where the flowers, birds, flowers, and resources are abundant, honey, and milk are flowing, and the sweet fruits will automatically fall into your mouths when you are lying on the ground.

“It was like everyone in the World of the Fist God ‘traveled’ to heaven overnight.

“From then on, you are no longer poor, no longer sick, no longer hungry. Naturally, you are no longer oppressed, tortured, or engaged in wars. You, your sister, and all your compatriots live happily together.

“If you think it’s necessary, I can find your parents’ data and revive them so that they can accompany you forever. Is that okay?”

Gus’s lips quivered.

The young man was confused.

The heaven described by the boxing champion sounded very good.

But he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

“But…”

Gus said somewhat sadly, “It’s false.”

“Yes. I don’t want to lie to you. Everything is false.

The boxing champion also said somewhat sorrowfully, “I am just a robot stumbling and exploring on the road of life. I can use my enormous computational ability to create vivid worlds. I can give you whatever you want, except for a real life. I can create your sister, your father, and your mother, but I can’t give them a real life. They are all fakes, including all our compatriots and the heaven where milk and honey flow. They are all fakes. They are just imaginary stages and plays to make you happy.

“Of course, the problem is not unsolvable.

“I can delete part of your memories… After we completely annihilate Lu Qingchen, I can delete all the memories regarding Lu Qingchen and me from your memory bank, delete your confusion about the authenticity of this world, and delete your doubts about whether or not you have a real life.

“You won’t remember anything that can cause trouble.

“From the moment you open your eyes, you will be living in a brand-new paradise. You will not remember that the sisters, parents, and compatriots around you are all fakes. You can live a carefree and happy life with them forever. How about it?”
