Jackie Chan's Adventures House Master Daolong

Chapter 488 Narration of the King of the Dead

The King of the Undead was silent for a long time. Maybe it was because he didn't care, or maybe it was something else, but he couldn't think of anything to say for a while.

The surrounding scene has changed again. The power of the King of the Dead is controlling this space, and everything in front of him is becoming alive.

The death pool disappears, and so does the hope of life for the dead.

The small gray wooden house turned into a log color at this moment, and everything around it became lush and green, as if from the gloomy world of the dead to the vibrant jungle.

The King of the Undead lowered his head and looked at everything around him with some nostalgia. His power led Luo Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, to walk on this small sea island.

He asked in a calm tone: "It's up to you, I'm already dead, I won't pursue life anymore, and I won't force you to do anything."

Luo Qing's tense heartstrings were relaxing, and the aura of order in his body was no longer so tense.

His voice was still calm: "Our meeting this time, doesn't it also represent your survival side? You actually want to live, right?"

The King of the Undead paused slightly. Perhaps this pause was just an illusion. He led Luo Qing towards the edge of the island and said in a calm tone: "Maybe? If you recognized me just now, I will indeed give you all my memories, Pang Da My memory may change you into what I look like, but it is still not me, but yourself."

He calmly said the words that made Luo Qing feel awe-inspiring, as if invading other people's thoughts was nothing to him.

"Let it go. Do you want to hear my story? I really want to tell it, so I won't ask for your opinion. I like your desire. This is a very successful reincarnation. Just listen."

The King of the Undead doesn't care what Luo Qing thinks. To him, Luo Qing is just his reincarnation, and he is still essentially him.

In other words, he doesn't even care whether the reincarnated self is himself or not, which is a philosophical issue.

All he thinks is that if reincarnation still needs others to give his life meaning, then all his memories may be able to help his new self tens of thousands of years later.

But since he doesn't want this, he won't force it. He thinks that after being reincarnated and having emotions, he might be able to find the meaning in his story that he couldn't find.

Luo Qing didn't say anything. He stood up, without any strength on his body, and was led towards the seaside by the King of the Undead.

The King of the Undead continued to speak, like a narration to an old friend or writing a diary. There was no emotion, but it was all he had.

"Being a demon or a god is actually quite boring. The various emotions of the body and the various desires of living beings will lose their meaning in the long course of time."

The King of the Dead looked at the souls on the sea that were attracted by his natural power, and said calmly: "You may not believe it, but I was born on this island."

"I have been wandering around for a hundred thousand years, and I have witnessed the birth of all races, all kinds of weird races, and they have weird desires. I have witnessed the birth of plague doctors, the fall of devils, and even order. Something born before my eyes.”

"I summed it up, the world is composed of heaven, earth and elements, but the composition of epic is desire."

"Without desire, the whole world would be lifeless, and I found that I seemed to lack the generation of desire. I was like a viewer wandering outside of desire, watching the changes in the world and the battles of demons. They are very powerful. Much, much stronger than me.”

"It's just that I can't understand their behavior, or in other words, I can't understand the desires of any race."

"Collecting sparkling gems, researching the endless unknown, and becoming a hero of the tribe, in my opinion, these only have the initial freshness."

"I heard that everything that happened in the world is recorded in the history book of time. I read it and found that the entire history book is filled with desires."

"I can't find anything other than desire."       "I thought that everything in the world was made up of desire, so when the mother tree of desire was born, I went to visit it. I thought that the collection of desires could tell me that everything in the world was meaning."

"Unfortunately, desire itself does not know what meaning is. It only wants to perform the things of desire because it is desire."

The description of the King of the Undead was a little confusing. He seemed to be talking about whatever he thought of, and did not follow the timeline.

Maybe he just wanted to say that he didn't care whether Luo Qing could understand, or maybe he didn't care about anything. Waiting for Luo Qing here was just the end of everything.

"I'm confused, I've always been confused, because I have no desire," he said.

"So, when the dead liked me and I read that they wanted to live, I gave them life. Although the Saints of Order came to me and said this was wrong, I didn't care."

"I just wanted to, so there was a world of the dead."

"When desires converged, I became the first source, and the world could not change my choice. At that time, I seemed to be happy."

"Because all the creatures in the world, except for those who are above me, worship me because I gave them a second chance to be born."

"The meaning of all living beings makes me very happy, because they all need me. I feel that I have found my meaning, so the Dead Pool was born. This is my home for them."

"It's just that as time goes by, there are more thoughts from sentient beings. The dead want me to exist, and the living also want me to exist, and they are in conflict."

"The undead creatures collided with reality. I found that the living are naturally afraid of the dead, so I separated them. I think the souls of the dead entered the world I created, so this place is called the undead."

"I am very happy about the birth of the Necromancer World. I continue to improve the rules of the Necromancer World, and a brand new creature can begin to be born in the Necromancer World."

"But I discovered that it seems that what the living want is just the pool of death, the world of the dead. What I created has deprived me of its meaning."

"It seems that I should be angry, but my desire seems to be less. I don't even have the anger towards this 'betrayal?'. I start to find my meaning again."

"I watched the world of the dead develop slowly, and I watched the world outside change with each passing day. I thought, it's not bad for me to be a spectator."

"I don't care about anything, but some existences still broke into my thoughts, such as Adela, which is a very interesting undead spirit. Her eyes are very hot, and the desire inside seems to be something I have never felt before. That There seems to be the meaning I’m looking for in it.”

"But after getting closer, I found that it was not. It was a desire called 'love'. It seemed to be for pleasure. I actually do not reject this desire, but I will not have this desire."

"And too much exposure to this desire would make me feel uncomfortable, so I expelled her and asked her to leave the world of the dead."

"I think that perhaps the undead with such a strong desire would prefer the vibrant world outside."

"Instead of being like me and becoming a spectator outside the world in the decay of endless time."

The King of the Undead reached out and touched the soul approaching him. Suddenly, the eyes of the dazed soul became more agile, and various different emotions appeared in the eyes of the soul.

It seemed to be unwillingness, despair, or perhaps pleading.

The King of the Dead waved his hand, and the soul in front of him turned into a fish, fell into the sea, and swam happily.
