Chapter 534: The Endless Cage

The Lord of the Underworld still had a calm expression, and he spoke slowly like a puppet, "In a normal reincarnation, you would not have met them."

Lu Changsheng widened his eyes, and the whole person was struck by lightning.

He looked up the long river of fate in front of him in disbelief. Previously, he only paid attention to the ending of each reincarnation, and had not seen the state at the beginning of each reincarnation.

Lu Changsheng carefully started to investigate from the source of each tributary.

Soon, he found a serious problem.

The beginning of each reincarnation is different.

Sometimes, he was born in a wealthy family and became a household name genius awakener at a young age.

Sometimes, he was born in the market, and his childhood was extremely difficult. It was not until he awakened the system that he rose against the trend and reached the top.

There is no regularity in the time when the system appears.

Sometimes it is born with it, and sometimes it suddenly appears after adulthood.

Lu Changsheng also saw several tributaries that died at a young age, and even did not wait for the arrival of the system.

There are many ways to upgrade the system. Some rely on crystal core exchange, some rely on killing monsters to accumulate, and some directly consume lifespan in exchange for power improvement.

He seems to be the only one who relies on recruiting disciples to increase his power.

The most important thing is...

All the tributaries start directly from the birth of Lu Changsheng.

In these millions of reincarnations, "Lu Changsheng" is a native "local", and he is the only one who travels from other time and space.

"The person who has undergone these millions of reincarnations is not me at all?" Lu Changsheng cast a puzzled look at the Lord of the Underworld, "Then who are so many 'Lu Changsheng'?"

"They are all my chosen [heirs] like you." The Lord of the Underworld did not keep him in suspense and said lightly, "I tried almost all ways, but unfortunately, I couldn't change the final outcome."

"So, I found you."

Lu Changsheng was more confused. Since he was promoted to a demigod, it was the first time he felt that his brain was not enough.

He asked puzzledly, "Why me? You can create countless 'Lu Changsheng' out of thin air anyway, why do you want to bring me to this world?"

"If you want to explain this, you have to start from the beginning..." The Lord of the Underworld stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the galaxies flowing through his fingertips.

"At the beginning of this world, there was only one life form and only one law. The existence that managed and operated this set of rules was the original creator."

"We, the Seven Gods of the Old Days, are the lives created by the original creator who tore apart his own authority."

"We jointly control the present world and maintain the operation of the world."

"In the beginning, we did quite well."

"But as time went on, the present world gradually became uneasy."

"The present world needs a master, a master like the original creator."

"Although we are all born from the original creator, we are not the original creator."

"The present world is gradually no longer under our control, and even begins to control us in turn."

"Under the influence of the present world, the Seven Gods of the Old Days began a protracted war of gods."

"Only the final winner can become a new creator and the master of the present world."

Isn't that the same as the nature of the ring competition in the ancient continent?

Even at the level of the Seven Gods of the Old Days, there is still no way to avoid killing each other?

Raising Gu is really a consistent process...

Lu Changsheng silently complained in his heart.

The Lord of the Underworld continued, "We seven gods cannot destroy each other at all, we can only destroy everything around us."

"The protracted war of gods is constantly wearing away our sanity."

"But we can't fight against the rules of the world, we can only repeat this meaningless fight."

"The long-term numb fight has made us completely tired, and the seven gods finally reached a unified opinion."

"In the last battle, the seven gods of the old days gathered the power of all authority together, and let the seven gods fall together under that blow."

"We all thought we could be liberated, and everything should be over."

"What we didn't expect was...the foundation of the existence of the world is the authority of the seven gods. Or to be more precise, it is the power of the original creator contained in the authority of the seven gods."

"In order to maintain its own existence, the world forcibly retained us."

"We can't leave our kingdom of God, we can't maintain our sanity for a long time, we can't become real living things, and we can't die."

"We are like sitting in a prison with an endless sentence, and we can never be liberated."

In a trance, Lu Changsheng seemed to hear what the Lord of the Temple said before.

[We will soon be freed.]

The Lord of the Underworld continued to speak, and Lu Changsheng quickly withdrew his thoughts and listened carefully.

"There is only one way to get rid of all this."

"Find a suitable [heir] and let him inherit his authority."

"Finally, the heir will destroy the old gods himself."

"Only in this way can this endless torture end."

The Lord of the Underworld withdrew his hand, stared at Lu Changsheng quietly, and said word by word, "So..."

"I have crossed countless time and space, and with the power accumulated from tens of millions of reincarnations, I finally found you."

"A being from beyond."

"A variable that will not be suppressed by the Lord of the Temple."

"Only you can end this."

The Lord of the Underworld's poker face showed some changes in expression, and the eyes he looked at Lu Changsheng were no longer cold, but there was a faint flash of expectation.

Lu Changsheng listened quietly to all the Lord of the Underworld's story, and then he spoke quietly and asked the biggest doubt in his heart, "If your purpose is only to obtain 'relief'..."

"Why didn't you choose to let the Lord of the Temple take over your authority?"

"Wouldn't this also help you find relief?"

"Why go to all the trouble and waste thousands of reincarnations to bring me into this world?"

"As far as I know, the master of the temple seems not to want gods to exist in this world. I think he is also happy to let you disappear from this world."

The Lord of the Underworld looked at Lu Changsheng expressionlessly and said, "Once the previous generation of old gods are eliminated, the new gods will inevitably be weakened."

"What the Lord of the Temple pursues is not to eliminate all gods, but to become the only god in the world and dominate the direction of all things."

"To do this, we must become the new Creator. In order to obtain the full authority of the original Creator, He must keep us."

"Not only will he not help us escape, he will also imprison us in a deeper cage."

"Thousands of reincarnations have proven this."

"I need a successor who, after gaining the authority of the old gods, can still stick to his true heart and not be tempted by power."

"As long as you free me after everything is over, I can now completely hand over the authority of the old gods to you."

"What do you think of this deal?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the god in front of him who had helped him countless times, and said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that, like the master of the temple, I will treat you as a container for extracting power, so that you will never be able to be freed?"

The corners of the Lord of the Underworld's mouth twitched slightly, and after waiting for a long time, he slowly forced out a stiff smile.

"You are different from the Lord of the Temple."

"I believe what you once said."

"There is no God in this world."

"There shouldn't be a god either."
