Chapter 958 Yuta: Have you ever considered that I'm the one who got hurt?
Let's turn back time to the moment before the abyss collapsed.
In the abyss, within the pure space, when Sammer proposed that he could extinguish his own primordial sacred fire by passing on the position of the God of Fire to Fang Wuwei, Fang Wuwei was also taken aback.
Previously, he was the God of Thunder. After obtaining the power of the God of Thunder, he was placed in the position of the God of Thunder by the world's consciousness. He inherited Amus's artifacts, temple, and divine status. Now, he is the God of Fire. Having a little fire-related authority, he is qualified to inherit the position of the God of Fire... Moreover, this time, the former God of Fire personally passed the position to him.
"qualifications?"
Fang Wuwei repeated the word, with a hint of uncertainty.
"Yes! You possess the authority of fire, therefore you are qualified to inherit the divine throne! Even if it is still immature, it is perfectly pure, and you are qualified to inherit the first flame in the world! Just as you inherited the divine throne of Amos..."
Sammer placed his hands on Fang Wuwei's shoulders, his eyes filled with pleading. He no longer wanted to return to the abyss. In this pure world, in this pure world that extended from Fang Wuwei's authority, he had tasted peace that he had never experienced in thousands of years. After enjoying this tranquility, he was unwilling to return to hell.
The relief of death is far better than endless torment.
Fang Wuwei, after a brief moment of stunned silence, was overjoyed and looked at Sammer with the expression of a Chengdu superman.
He remembered that when he obtained the fire talent, the system's description was, "From now on, you are qualified to walk this path." The system's descriptions had always been nonsense, and he had never taken them seriously. He didn't expect that this time it wasn't just empty talk.
Wow, those 100,000 points were totally worth it!
"you sure?"
"Yes...but...I need you to promise me three things..."
Sammer also had his own considerations, and his expression was extremely complicated as he looked at Fang Wuwei in front of him.
Fang Wuwei and Dark Flame Dragon were in cahoots. This alone was enough to make Him feel disgusted and repulsed, and extremely unhappy. Even now that Fang Wuwei was about to become the second-generation Fire God and His successor, He still felt disgusted and dissatisfied. But when He thought of what had happened in the past and what Fang Wuwei had said, His consciousness began to blur again.
If everything that happened back then was truly tacitly approved by the divine sovereign or even the Heavenly Dao, then everything the Dark Flame Dragon did was justified, and it was actually the one who was in the way. Realizing this, Sammer felt an absolute sense of resentment and pain...
But why? Just because of this, He has to be imprisoned in this hell for tens of millions of years?
Whether it's right or wrong can be discussed later. After so many years of pain and torment, He Samuel must vent his anger today, or He will die with regrets.
"What do you want me to do?"
Fang Wuwei's voice pulled Sammer back to reality from the vortex of pain. Another divine position. Fang Wuwei had no reason not to accept it. The temptation of two divine positions was right there. If it wasn't too much, he might as well listen.
"Alright... First one, I want you to destroy the Abyss."
"Oh?"
"The rift between the abyss and the present world has been opened and is still widening. It will inevitably break through the void and descend into the present world within a thousand years, causing widespread devastation. Therefore, I want you to destroy the abyss now, immediately, to eliminate a great scourge for humanity."
Fang Wuwei fell silent.
Only then did Fang Wuwei realize the weight of the Dark Flame Dragon's words that Sammer was the god closest to humanity. Even after being imprisoned and tormented for millions of years, His first priority was still the survival of humanity.
"Okay... I promise you, what's the second one?"
Sammer's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, but the heaviness in his eyes did not lessen.
"Secondly... I want you to treat humans kindly, and to follow... what the Dark Flame Dragon said, to let humans develop freely, and not let them live in the shadow of the gods anymore."
Upon hearing this request, Fang Wuwei's brows began to furrow.
"Gods need faith to grow stronger. As the only god in the world, I need to develop followers, you know that, right?"
"Of course... but you are not allowed to interfere excessively with human development, nor are you allowed to personally guide humanity or forcibly shape the future of humanity into what you 'think is right'."
Does this mean that Sammer is not allowed to excessively guide human development? He can collect faith, but he is not allowed to personally intervene and let humanity move forward according to the future he desires?
"Why? Why would you make such a request?"
At this moment, Sammer suddenly fell into a deep, long, almost frozen silence.
"...Because...we have always been like this...every development of mankind has sought help from the gods, every decision has been made in consultation with the gods, and every war...is also behind us. It is precisely because of this that, in our time, tens of thousands of years have passed, and mankind has not developed its own power."
Thinking of this, Sammer became depressed. The gods of ancient times were like parents who spoiled their children. Without them, humanity would not know how to move forward or how to develop. All of humanity's knowledge and crafts were gifts from the gods... farming, weaving, animal husbandry, writing, and everything else were gifts from the gods. For tens of thousands of years, humanity had been pampered and spoiled under their pampering, and had become unaware of progress.
I wonder how the humans outside are doing now.
“So… when I heard that the Dark Flame Dragon wanted to annihilate the realm of gods, saying that ‘gods should not exist’…” Sammer’s voice trembled slightly, “I was angry, I rebelled, I thought that He wanted to destroy not only the gods, but also humanity itself… but now it seems… He might be right.”
At least...He gave humanity the opportunity to walk on its own.
Fang Wuwei's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and then he let out a long breath, nodded, and agreed.
"I promise you, to treat humans kindly. Six months ago, I was just a human myself, so of course I promise. What's the third thing?"
"The third is..."
Sammer sighed heavily, and suddenly tightened his grip on Fang Wuwei's shoulders, his fingertips almost digging into his flesh, causing Fang Wuwei to gasp in pain.
"I need to borrow your body for a few minutes... I want to personally! Personally! Beat up the Dark Flame Dragon to avenge my blood feud!!!"
"Oh? You changed the subject so quickly?"
Fang Wuwei was taken aback.
"Seriously, is this even possible? Possession?!"
"No, of course not... After you inherit my position as the God of Fire, you will have your own primordial sacred fire, and my primordial sacred fire can last for a few more minutes... My divine power is enough to support the connection between you and me for these few minutes, allowing me to temporarily occupy your body... if you wish."
Upon hearing all this, Fang Wuwei frowned deeply.
"A war between gods would cause too much destruction. The density of human life outside is very high. We are in a cluster of cities. Once the war starts, there will be countless deaths and injuries."
"I will avoid any location that could cause casualties, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt."
"But......"
"...Please..."
Sammer's voice suddenly lowered; as a deity, his humble plea was enough to express his feelings.
"I can't swallow this... please..."
Seeing Sammer's pitiful state, Fang Wuwei felt a pang of sympathy. The god who was closest to humans and had the best temperament had been driven mad by light for tens of millions of years, but even in this brief moment of peace, he was still thinking of humanity in every way.
It would be untrue to say that Fang Wuwei did not respect Sammer.
"Okay, five minutes only, and you can't kill him."
Only after hearing Fang Wuwei agree did Sammer smile, taking his hands off Fang Wuwei's shoulders and letting them hang down naturally.
"Thank you... Now we can... prepare for the handover ceremony."
Sammer gave a bitter laugh and looked around. The erosion of the abyss had spread to their feet. The colorful filth writhed like living things, trying to pollute this last piece of pure land. Sammer could feel the familiar sense of chaos washing over his brain again, and his mind began to blur.
“My legacy may not be as rich as Amus’s. I cannot give you a temple, and all six million of my Fire Cloud Cavalry have perished. I don’t even have a decent artifact to offer… What I can give you… is only the sundial symbolizing the descent of the fire god and… your own sacred fire.”
"Time is running out, but this is enough."
Fang Wuwei gently patted Sammer on the shoulder and began to resonate with Sammer's position as the god of fire by using his own fire authority.
Two flames rose in this pure land that was about to be swallowed by pollution. Only then did Sammer's true primordial flames shed their eight-colored, eerie appearance and reveal their true origin.
It was the purest and warmest flame.
............
Back in the present, having completed the three transactions, Sammer, through Fang Wuwei's body, saw the towering buildings, the endless stream of vehicles, and the more prosperous society that no longer relied on magic... The last bit of resentment and bitterness in his heart turned into a sense of relief and relief.
Humanity, truly relying on itself, has forged a path far more glorious than when the gods led the way. The Dark Flame Dragon was right...
Sammer's gaze was fixed on the rooftop of a tall building in the distance, where the Dark Flame Dragon God was panting and recovering from his injuries. Sammer was initially relieved, but upon seeing the Dark Flame Dragon God, his heart was filled with hatred again.
But so what?!
So what if the Dark Flame Dragon is in the right?! The hatred born from tens of millions of years of torment won't be extinguished unless this beating is severe enough!
He can't be killed... Of course, Summer wouldn't kill him, but under these circumstances, beat him as badly as possible!!! He'd better beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him, otherwise he'd be too weak for the day!!
Sammer's hatred had taken on a childish edge, while the Dark Flame Dragon God in the distance could only brace himself and fight back when he saw the crimson flames charging toward him.
He knows nothing of this, and is still hoping that Fang Wuwei has another trick up his sleeve to escape Sammer's control as soon as possible...
