Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 539: Loneliness in the Wind (2)

"Yes, brother, you were not resolute, so you gave us an opportunity to take advantage of you." Lu Mingze seemed to be pushing the responsibility onto Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was a little annoyed. "What can I do? This is the life I was defined for before I even realized it. My life is being monitored by you. Is it possible for me to escape? Do you think you will kill anyone you see when you hear the clappers?"

"So you have to hug me, brother, hug me. This is the only chance. The pons interruption surgery means that you cannot escape their control. As long as they want, you will never have power."

Lu Mingfei stared into Lu Mingze's eyes and said in a low voice: "I don't want to die, and I don't want my brothers to die either. I want to live, and I want everyone to live."

The voice that came from deep within his heart was almost a plea, draining away the little courage that Lu Mingfei had.

He suddenly felt extremely tired, both physically and mentally. The world seemed to reject him, and even his father treated him as a tool.

Loneliness is like the wind and the sea, vast and boundless.

Lu Mingze talked about the past events to himself: "I can't help it. The script is like this. I want Norton to die, and I want those traitors to die honestly. I didn't expect you to be friends with them, because the special nature of the Holy Spirit will create a connection between you and the king. This is destined, destined enemies, but friends are unexpected. Norton and Constantine have long been monitored by the secret party, including Jörmungandr and Fenrir. In the script, you are the one who writes history, brother."

"In other words, they are destined to die, but it has been arranged that I will be the one to kill them?" Lu Mingfei asked in astonishment.

"Yes, because I lied to Ange. I said that in order to make your power controllable, you must grow up and accept my power. I also lied to you, brother. There is no so-called deal. It was just me helping you adapt to the power. It's like a reincarnation. You gave everything to help me kill Nidhogg. Now I help you. The power of the Holy Spirit has been affected by the pons interruption surgery, but my authority is still there."

“The transaction… is not about my life?” Lu Mingfei pondered the words: “something for nothing, gain without any effort…”

"Yes, it's something for nothing. Those guys thought they could limit our power by playing some tricks, and thought you killed those dragon kings by relying on the special nature of the Holy Spirit. In fact, they didn't know the agreement between us at all. Use our fire to set this world on fire." Flames ignited in Lu Mingze's eyes.

The raging flames took shape, and were about to melt the ice.

Lu Mingfei saw the corpses deep in the ice, Nidhogg, the skeleton of the Black Emperor was preserved forever under the glacier.

"Brother, do you want a deal? This is the last time, and I can only help you up to this point. My girls have limited abilities, and I'm struggling on my own. As long as you agree, it's just a pons interruption surgery, how can it limit your strength?" Lu Mingze asked.

Lu Mingfei shook his head repeatedly, "No, I don't need it."

"Why?" Lu Mingze didn't understand. "Everything you want has a prerequisite, that is, power and authority. Now you can get controllable power and authority, why give it up?"

"Because you will die, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "You concealed part of it, you are still deceiving me."

Lu Mingze's tense expression relaxed and he smiled weakly, "You guessed it. Brother, you are much smarter. I shouldn't have delayed it for so long. I thought about letting you have power when you were qualified, and I thought about when you would become obsessed with power. As time went by, I realized that I couldn't lie to you anymore."

"I don't want to be deceived." Lu Mingfei asked: "Is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

"You want to ask Han Qiu, right?" Lu Mingze said.

"Yes, what role does he play in these plans?" Lu Mingfei clenched his fists. "Did he show up to monitor or control me?"

"No, he is someone outside the plan." Lu Mingze sat cross-legged, supporting his chin with one hand. When he mentioned Han Qiu, he looked helpless. "This question is very troublesome. I can't explain clearly what he is, because I don't understand it myself, but I know he is here to disrupt the plan, commonly known as a troublemaker."

"Troublemaker?" Lu Mingfei thought for a moment. "A good word. Indeed, he messed up the situation. You didn't kill him at the beginning. It's not like you."

"Brother, I haven't killed anyone. Those dead guys were all killed by you." Lu Mingze's words made Lu Mingfei silent again.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to kill, but the script pushed him to the point where he had to kill.

He walked onto that tragic stage in a daze, and before that he had never thought deeply about the issues between humans and dragons.

Remember what Caesar said: Whether she is Shami or Jörmungandr.

The one who felt uncomfortable at that time was Chu Zihang, and the one who suffered the most was Lu Mingfei.

"But you don't need to be sad. Old Tang is not dead, and Fenrir is not dead either. Their spirits and bodies can be discarded for beings like them. You have to thank Han Qiu. He saved Old Tang, Constantine, and Xia Mi. So I am very unhappy, but I can't do anything about it." Lu Mingze said.

“Not dead?” Lu Mingfei looked up, surprised and delighted at the same time, “How is it possible? I personally…”

"They are not dead, but they are not alive either. If you replace Nidhogg and have the ability to create things, it will be easy to bring them back to life."

"Really?" Lu Mingfei seemed to have found a reason, "What about those people who died in the academy? Can they survive?"

"No, although I know you will be unhappy to say this, it is the truth. Ants are insignificant to this world. They do not have the status of kings. Once they die, they are dead. There is no chance of resurrection. Norton and Constantine can live because of authority, but those hybrids do not have authority."

“What exactly is authority?”

"You can think of them as the core that carries the elements. If you compare their existence to an egg, the body is the eggshell, the egg white is the spiritual element, and the yolk is the authority. However, Nidhogg separated them when he created the king, so the egg is not complete."

"I understand." Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes. "I can't figure out whether you are lying to me or telling the truth. It doesn't matter. I have to give it a try."

"What do you mean?"

"In this complete situation, the only flaw is Han Qiu. That guy is not a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person either."

"You...are going to believe him?"

"Don't you believe him, too?"

"I can't do anything to him." Lu Mingze emphasized again: "He has always occupied that balance point and can break the balance at any time. I have cooperated with him and I have been hostile to him, but I have never thought of killing him. There is no point in killing him. He will come back sooner or later. He cannot be killed. It's like a nightmare covering the world."

"Unkillable? He's also an egg? Has authority?"

"Anyone with authority can be killed, even Nidhogg. The corresponding authority sits on the corresponding throne. This is the rule. He does not have a throne because he does not need one. For an uncrowned king, the throne is a burden."

"You think so highly of him."

"I have seen through the timeline, and the timeline has been restarted more than once. This kind of power is the true power of God. Han Qiu died once, and the world line was restarted once. It is impossible for you to have a low opinion of him. It is a good thing that Nidhogg died early, so that we don't have to see such a monster."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I remember Han Qiu said something: whether a lie is the truth depends on whether you believe it or not."
