Zhou Lin - Chapter 229 Fate (Part 1)

It’s still this night, somewhere in Northern Europe.

Zi Lin stood on a solitary mountain, looking at the distant land through the moonlight.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and also seemed to be waiting for something.

And the person he was waiting for did not disappoint him.

Uncle Xue, here we come.

This place is really hard to find. That’s what Uncle Xue said.

I… want to build a city here, flatten the mountains at our feet, build a palace, and then put a big Iron Throne in it… Zi Lin turned around leisurely as he spoke. .

But Uncle Xue interrupted him: If you don’t even believe it yourself, you don’t have to tell me, right?

Ha…I’m serious. Zi Lin smiled.

Really? Uncle Xue responded, and then said, Then why… I can’t see in your eyes the slightest hope for the ‘future’ you mentioned.

That’s true… Zi Lin shrugged, Can’t I be a person who hides my desires deep in my heart and doesn’t show them at all?

Of course you can be. Uncle Xue said, In fact… you have hidden your true wish from the beginning, haven’t you?

What do you want to say? Zi Lin said, You want to say that you have seen through me?

I don’t have that ability. Uncle Xue said, But there is someone… who can.

At this second, Zi Lin’s expression changed a little: Did Lance tell you something?

Yes. Uncle Xue replied.

Hmph… Zi Lin sneered, Does he think he understands me again?

Uncle Xue did not answer the question, but continued: He told me that you don’t want to be a ‘king’ at all, you just want the evil name of a ‘tyrant’, and hide under this evil name to take on all the responsibility in the world. With hatred, he did all the dirty things and painful choices that had to be done, and finally ‘died’ in a cunning way, thus leaving a stable dynasty to Ziqi to take care of.

Do you believe such a ridiculous statement? Zi Lin asked calmly after hearing this.

When I first heard what he said, I was just doubtful. Uncle Xue said, But as I learned more and more, I realized that what he said was true.

What do you know? Zi Lin said.

Uncle Xue said: First of all, I know your retreat… is Lilia, or her superpower.

You should know very well that the ability of ‘Wu’ is higher than the ‘Lie Wu Jie’ of the Drifter…

This ability seems to only act on ‘a certain thing’, but if you think about it from another angle, it actually targets the ‘entire universe’ or ‘the entire dimension’; ‘nothing’ does not mean that it erases a certain thing or person. Rather, it is blinding the recognition of most three-dimensional life forms in the entire universe.

“In other words, when this ability is at the same level, it already has some of the effects that Mitsuhide Tsukoshitabe’s ‘cognitive correction’ can achieve at the god level.

Only with this ability can you possibly live an ordinary life again after having acted like a tyrant on the world.

When Zilin heard this, he still kept calm: Isn’t it right? Based on this, you believe Lance’s speculation?

Secondly… Uncle Xue still did not answer his question, but continued what he just said, Just tonight, in order to help Ziqi clear the hidden dangers and obstacles in the future, you have launched a series of actions…

Needless to say the leaders of the resistance organizations… it is not difficult to kill them all. What is difficult is that after killing a group of such people, a new group will appear. So you choose to follow the example of Huizun and use them corpses to create ‘fake goods’ that are completely controlled and cannot be detected by any detection.

And inside the reverse cross… Che Wuchen will definitely die, not only because he is smart enough, but also because he is similar to Lance to a large extent. One day he will definitely see through your plan. What’s more, his ‘daydream’ is one of the very few abilities that can kill you and Ziqi. This kind of person… must not be left here.

As for me, I am undoubtedly the one who must be eliminated. Of course, the reason for killing me is even simpler and more sufficient, because I am an idiot who can overthrow all your efforts and still believes in humanity and justice. .”

When Uncle Xue finished speaking, there was no trace of relaxation or joking left on Zi Lin’s face.

How do you know that I do these things for Ziqi and not for myself? Zi Lin asked again.

It’s very simple. Uncle Xue said, If you are the ‘king’ yourself, you can complete the establishment of the dynasty while maintaining the balance of all parties. In that case, you don’t need to play the role of a tyrant. I and I Che Wuchen can’t be considered a ‘hidden danger’… It’s just that that kind of approach will probably take you several years, or even decades…

Okay, okay, Lance is right. After saying this, Zilin stopped trying to hide it. He shook his head and said helplessly, I just want to ‘escape’. Okay?

Why? Uncle Xue asked.

Because it’s better for the world, isn’t it? Zi Lin replied, According to my plan, it only takes a short time for the Sixth Empire to accomplish great things that normally take decades to achieve.

Then, I will hand over a strong dynasty and a stable governance directly to Ziqi’s hands; he is a king more suitable for governance than me, and he can make the world live a good life.

And I will disappear from people’s sight with all the pain and hatred in the change, leaving only the image of a villain in the history books, and then live the little life I want.

For the vast majority of the remaining residents on this planet, even though they may know nothing about it, my approach will shorten the pain caused by the changing times by several decades. Isn’t this good?

After hearing this, Uncle Xue thought for a moment and asked: How do you know which option is better if you haven’t tried it hard?

I don’t need to try anything. Zilin then replied in a decisive tone, More than two hundred years ago, a man named Wittstock had already tried it. As for how he tried it, You should have learned this in elementary school history class.”

When Uncle Xue heard this, he frowned and said, You mean… the empire before the Federation was also the boss of Heaven…

That’s right. Zi Lin continued before he finished speaking, I am the same as the ‘king’ back then. What do you think we are? Careers? Conquerors? Ha… I tell you, we They are all just clowns who are pushed to the stage. They act arrogantly in their limited life and burn everything. In the end… they are not understood by anyone and return to dust…

When Uncle Xue heard this, he couldn’t help but think that according to historical records, the emperor of the former empire seemed to have passed away soon after the dynasty entered a stable period.

You seem to have thought of it. Zi Lin looked at the change in Uncle Xue’s expression and guessed what he was thinking, and continued, You are right. For people like me, even the ‘life span’ is limited. It’s set… I don’t know what kind of abilities the ‘King’ in the past had, but with the ‘Quantum Revolution’, I clearly know the specific date of my ‘natural death’… Believe me, If I follow the path you told me, my ending will not be much different from that of the king in the past.

What he is saying now is indeed something that Uncle Xue does not know and has never thought about.

Then if you make Ziqi the king, don’t you just want him to replace you… Uncle Xue wanted to question him from another angle.

But Zilin obviously already had the answer: It’s not the same at all. He interrupted the other party again, It would only take decades to implement changes slowly according to the ‘maintaining balance’ method you mentioned; with me, This method can all be over within a year…

If I am a good king, the Sixth Empire will be a replica of the previous regime; but if I become a tyrant and push the era to the next stable period faster, then Ziqi can easily take over. He even They can abdicate the throne to someone they feel is suitable when they get tired of it, and there will be no impact.

Uncle Xue nodded. He seemed to understand the other party: And to realize your plan, people like me and Che Wuchen… must be eliminated, right?

Zi Lin did not answer Uncle Xue’s question, he just said in a deep voice: Forgive me… I am not you, I am not as strong and tenacious as you… I don’t have your courage and will, let alone your faith and selflessness.

I’m just an ordinary person, and I just want to be an ordinary person…

I don’t want to pretend to be a joke anymore, deceiving myself and telling myself… I’m not just a tool.

I’m tired……

I no longer care about how many ‘sins’ I will bear in the end and die.

The current situation is the only way for me to escape from the fate arranged by the ‘Guide’. As long as I still complete the mission and let history reincarnate, he will not care if I change the time or the situation. form.

So, I’m sorry…I have to kill you.
