Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Momonga said with a sigh.

After discovering that most people in this world were very weak, Momonga knew that no matter how cautious he was, he would become arrogant.

But the encounter with the 'Mother of Evil' made Momonga realize how small and weak he really is.

It is not the weakness of the power that one possesses, but the weakness of one's mentality.

He is just a lucky guy who has power because of luck.

"I can see that this period of experience has made you grow a lot."

"...I can also see that you have a lot to say. You can't tell those things to NPCs, but you can tell them to me."

"I don't know if there are other players in this world, but here we are the only two players, players who stand on the same side."

Saigo closed the book in his hand and spoke slowly.

He touched his bald head. He didn't dare to do such an undignified act in front of the NPC, for fear that the NPC would no longer respect him.

Momonga smiled and said, "...Sometimes I find that Zaratul is a psychologist. You always like to listen to everyone's troubles and give support and answers."

Saigo shrugged and said, "...Just think of it as some of my little interests."

"So coming to this new world with you makes me feel at ease."

Fei Shu said in a slow tone: "...I have been through a lot during this period of time, and I have a lot to talk about〃〃."

"...During my time traveling around the kingdom, I learned one thing: I am weak."

"It's not the power I have. If it were just power, I know I'm still very strong in this world."

"…But I don't have the state of mind to match this power."

“During this journey, I met some people who gained their own strength through their own efforts and will.”

"...They may not be as strong as I am now, but I know I am just lucky. If they were players with the same power as me, I don't think I would be their opponent."

Fei Shu was very clear-headed at this time, or it could be said that after facing the 'Mother of Evil Gods', he lost his arrogance and saw through many things.

Just like Momonga said, he was just a carrier of power and he himself had not gone through the process of tempering his mind and strength.

Like those people who have reached the realm of heroes in this world, each of them has achieved a breakthrough between life and death and gained a strong will.

Without his identity as a player, Momonga would be nothing more than a person at the bottom of the society in this world.

Similarly, Saigo is actually facing the same problem.

He was even more exaggerated than Momonga, as he obtained the spiritual power of the Mother of the Evil God right from the start.

But he was calmer and clearer-minded than Momonga, and from the very beginning Saigo had not been immersed in the spirit of the so-called 'Mother of the Evil God'.

He never thought that this was his own power, he was just repeating what others said.

Saigo has been working hard to learn knowledge, starting from scratch in his own way, hoping that one day he will be able to fully master this power.

Because he was standing on the shoulders of the Mother of the Evil God, Saigo's learning process was twice as effective with half the effort. This allowed him to hone himself bit by bit and understand the source of his strength.

"I can feel it, Zaratul! This body is changing my mind."

Momonga pointed at his skeleton-like body and said in a fearful tone, "...it's slowly making me no longer like myself."

"...My identity as the King of the Undead has caused my thinking to change, from that of a living person to that of a dead person."

"If I hadn't encountered something that woke me up, I would have lost my human way of thinking and eventually become a completely dead person."

Saigo nodded slowly and smiled, "...I was going to remind you of this, but it seems like you figured it out on your own, Momonga."

"…We are not born demons or undead. We can use the methods of demons and undead to solve problems."

“But we must never let our identities limit our actions, but must move forward with our own hearts.”

“…our environment shapes our character, but our environment is a complex whole, of which our identity is only a tiny part.”

"We are demons and undead on the outside, but we cannot completely lose our concept as human beings. It is impossible to lose it. It is something engraved in our souls."

This is also Saigo's reminder to himself that he is a devil and will use devilish means to solve the problems he encounters.

But Saigo was not a born devil. If he gave up his human will and turned himself into a devil completely, the best outcome would be to become the mother of another evil god.

Saigo knew very well that demons could not pursue good, and this was the demon's greatest limitation.

In order to achieve his own balance between good and evil, Saigo cannot give up some basic bottom lines as a human being. Those are not so-called morality, but some concepts as a "human being".

There is a reason why humans are called the most intelligent creatures on earth, because humans have the greatest possibilities and can break through even the limitations of demons as humans.

"Zaratul, you told me your speculation about the six gods and the eight desire kings."

"...And I have my own guess. Five of the six gods died as humans. This may be the reason why they did not kill each other, but stayed together as 'friends' until the end."

"¨"If my guess is correct, the Eight Desire Kings should be aliens like us. They were eventually controlled by their own identities and completely transformed from humans into monsters."

"...I will not let my identity as an undead completely control me, because I don't want to fight you one day."

Momonga took a deep breath and said sincerely.

In fact, Saigo had already concluded what Feishu guessed, that the Eight Desire Kings were indeed aliens and not humans.

Just like the demons, they don't have any concept of "unity". Demons will only submit to demons stronger than themselves.

If there are two demons among the Eight Desire Kings, and they are eventually completely devoured by their demonic nature, then they will definitely want to dominate each other.

The final result will inevitably be the outbreak of civil strife, which will not end until one person dies.

Although humans are also greedy and will kill each other for profit.

But humans know how to judge the situation. There is also a light of goodness in the hearts of evil humans. In times of crisis, humans also understand the importance of unity.

Even if humans are 'evil', they are far from being as extreme as demons.

Demons who worship chaos don't understand what order is, and as undead, it's even more exaggerated. In the end, they will definitely want to destroy all living things in the world and turn them all into undead.

There are many kinds of aliens, and orcs are also aliens. If there is an immortal among the Eight Desire Kings, his mind will be influenced and he will definitely want to turn his living "friends" into dead friends.

Saigo was very relieved that Momonga had realized this very early on. He should have discovered that undead skills such as 'forced holding' gave him rationality and strength, but at the same time also made him gradually lose his 'human' nature.

If one day Momonga completely becomes the 'King of the Undead', the only thing Saigo can do is to kill him.

"Will you fight me, Momonga? But in the end, you will be the only one who dies."

Saigo played a bad joke.

Momonga laughed out loud. He did not feel embarrassed or angry at all because he knew that what Saigo said was right.

There was no way he could be a match for Saigo.

At this moment, Saigo's heart moved and a look of joy appeared on his face.

However, Saigo quickly suppressed his joy.

Surprisingly, a new person accepted the invitation, which means that there will soon be a new world whose origin he will seize for his growth.

"It seems that a newcomer was under strong emotions and was affected by the power of the Mother of Evil."

Xi Xiang whispered softly.

Chapter 194: Demon War

Water can flow, but rocks cannot be moved!

People all think that rocks are indifferent and stand forever. No matter how strong the waves and winds are, they remain motionless. They have gone through billions of years and watched the changes of the world.

Morax also thought that he could be indifferent to both sadness and joy, watching the ever-changing world with only the "contract" in his heart.

But in the end, Morax found that he might have overestimated himself, or underestimated emotions.

It turns out that he also has a heart. It turns out that even a cold rock will become warm if you hold it in your arms for a long time.

"Is this also my 'wear and tear'?"

On Tianheng Mountain, Morax watched the crowds of people surging on the mountain road below him, and the wooden carts moving forward, which seemed to have no end in sight.

There was a sad atmosphere among the crowd, and children were crying one after another.

The mother comforted her crying child, then covered her face with her hands and cried secretly; the men had anger on their faces, but they had no place to vent their anger, so they sighed dejectedly.

The old man was exhausted and refused help from others. Instead, he secretly found a deserted place to fend for himself, just to save food and give young people and children more hope of survival.

The long line was winding and some people couldn't help but look back to the north, wondering if they would have the chance to return to their hometown.

　Chapter 767 The soldiers of the Qianyan Regiment, wearing uniforms, maintained order. Their faces remained firm, but their eyes also showed confusion and helplessness about the future.

There were cranes flying across the sky and yakshas scattered in all directions, on guard against the approaching demons.

The scene was tragic and filled with a sense of despair.

Morax watched all this, and her last words before she returned to the world could not help but echo in her mind: "...those little people, as weak and fragile as dust."

Her voice is still as gentle and clear as before, with the lively agility of a young girl.

Although she lamented the fragility of human beings, her eyes, which were always full of smiles, were only looking at him, only Morax.

With a sigh, she disappeared between heaven and earth, with a touch of regret and childish coquettishness, as if to say, you, this rock, are still so dull that even at the end you are unwilling to say a word.

"In the end..."

Morax murmured, his mind unconsciously recalling the scenes of the past thousand years, which seemed to circle and flash in his mind like lightning.

Thousands of years ago, he protected a group of humans and established the first village on the fertile land called Liyue.

It was also at that time that Morax and Guizhong met.

The Demon God and his lover, the two Demon Gods protected their people and developed independently on the land of Liyue.

As the god of contracts, Morax saw that it was inconvenient for his people to barter, so he created "Mora" as a general equivalent to circulate in the market.

Because of the appearance of Mora, the business of the people protected by Morax developed rapidly and grew stronger little by little.

Upon seeing this, the Demon of Dust proposed to merge his people with those of Morax, and Morax readily agreed.

From then on, the two demons jointly protected mankind, and the people lived and worked in peace.

Liyue has fertile land and numerous mineral veins. Thanks to the hard work of the people and the development of commerce, a large village was eventually established 700 years ago.

Gui finally named this place "Gui Li".

Morax was indifferent by nature and didn't care about it.

As the God of Contract, he lives and works according to the contract, and nothing else will cause him to have any major emotional reaction.

After the return, the people lived in peace. They opened mountains to mine jade, chiseled rocks to create passages, and gathered stones to build forts.

On the Tianheng Mountain, the Demon God Dust King and other immortals set up powerful crossbows to guard the mountain, occupying the solid Tianheng Mountain and forming the foundation for all eternity.

Since this place has been called Liyue since ancient times, many people living in Guili call themselves Liyue people.

For seven hundred years, under the governance of Morax and Guizhong, the people of Liyue have lived and worked in peace and prosperity, with enough food and clothing.

Thousands of merchants came in droves, thousands of ships arrived, all kinds of goods were displayed in succession, and the seas were in sight.

However, all of this was destroyed decades ago.

Liyue has rich land and vast area. In addition to Morax and Guizhong, there are countless demons entrenched here.

Because the demons are all lovers, they have always lived in peace. Although there are minor disputes among humans, there has been no chaos caused by the demons.

But justice suddenly prevailed, peace was broken, and the shadow of war enveloped the land of Liyue, or rather, the entire continent of Teyvat.

No one knows how the war between demons and gods started. When people came to their senses, the war had already begun.

This is not a war between humans, but a war involving demons.

Under the devil's devastating power, countless humans died tragically, countless human towns were destroyed, and countless devils fell here.

As one of the oldest demon gods, Morax is extremely powerful. With the help of Guizhong and the Dragon King Ruota, he protects the people of Liyue in peace during this time of war.

However, there are too many demons in Liyue. No matter how powerful Morax is, he cannot fight four hands with two fists and cannot face the siege of so many demons.

The demons were not fools, and seeing that Morax was powerful, in order to prevent them from being defeated one by one, many demons united together and attacked together.

Although Morax had the help of the powerful Dragon King Rota, he was gradually defeated by the combined forces of the demons.

The demons were fighting each other, and humans were attacking each other.

During the war, whether it was Guili or other human villages and towns, people's livelihood gradually declined, the economy collapsed, and with the terrifying power of the demon god, the people were living in misery.

Even so, Morax managed to maintain the balance of the situation with his own powerful strength, the help of Guizhong and Ruota Dragon King, and the concerted efforts of many immortals.
