404: The End of Sin

Li Fufeng turned his head abruptly.

He saw Liu Yuan's frail body begin to twitch and tremble in pain, letting out heart-wrenching wails!

But powerful Law auras began to emanate from all around him.

Liu Yuan's Realm and Genius were both skyrocketing at this moment!

But...

Li Fufeng's brows were tightly furrowed; even he could see it...

"This body can't possibly withstand the power of the sea gods heart, can it?"

The Frost Giant Dragon beside him, however, showed no worry.

He said with a confident expression, "Don't worry."

"The leader made preparations long ago. He told us it could be done this way, so it must succeed."

Li Fufeng sighed with emotion, saying, "You trust that leader so much?"

"Of course." Lycra chuckled, "I was subdued by my master when I was young."

"And my master, much like me, was beaten into submission by the leader!"

"Back then, the abilities the leader displayed gave us a feeling of four words: 'omnipotent'!"

"We don't know where he came from."

"We only know that he is the bravest man in the entire Universe!"

Li Fufeng clearly felt that when Lycra spoke of that leader, the wind around him seemed joyful.

"The days of working alongside that leader, though difficult, were actually very happy."

Lycra chuckled, "The leader loves to eat and drink."

"He has a famous saying."

"I never drink before breakfast."

At this, Li Fufeng laughed.

That was too amusing.

A normal person's first act upon waking is to eat breakfast.

Which meant that the leader's second act upon waking every day was to drink.

"Of course, the leader isn't a Drunkard either." Lycra shook his head and said, "The leader once told my master."

"He isn't some perfectly invincible person either."

"Sometimes he also feels fear, and dread."

"Especially when he sees those around him sacrificing themselves one by one, he often doubts himself."

"Whether what we are doing is truly right."

"So he drinks, because after drinking, it's not as easy to overthink, and his steps forward are firmer, not stopping due to the enemy's strength."

"Because, after drinking, his vision is blurred, and he can't clearly see how powerful the enemy is, so naturally, he isn't afraid."

Li Fufeng nodded.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the conflict between you and that god?"

"Why must you kill each other?"

Upon hearing this.

Lycra's eyes showed a hint of hatred and disgust.

"Once you see the outside world, you'll understand."

"Out there, civilizations are divided into three tiers."

"The lowest tier of civilization is called a slave civilization."

"The beings there are destined for a tragic life from birth."

"For example, aquatic beings like me."

"From a young age, they are thrown into terrifying sea areas to collect rare minerals and metals, but out of a thousand aquatic beings who go, perhaps not even one returns."

"Nine hundred ninety-nine lives are lost just like that, but no one cares."

"But the only one who returns might not even obtain the resources needed by the higher civilizations above; they just return alive!"

"And then their fate is to descend once more into that Hell-like sea area."

"Finally, after somehow surviving to adulthood, they are taken for mating to breed stronger offspring, because those who survive are creatures chosen from hundreds of thousands, perhaps able to produce excellent warriors!"

"This is a turning point in their destiny."

"If a very Genius child is born, their father might be brought into a slightly higher civilization."

"Because higher civilizations are merely ruthless, not foolish; they know that if a child knows their father ultimately died horribly at their hands, their mindset will definitely be affected."

"And this turning point is also seen as a lifeline by many."

"At this point, something terrible occurs."

"When some beings breed offspring that are not the Genius children desired by those above, their fate is often extremely tragic."

"Those slaves might strangle their own children alive; there is no paternal or maternal love in their eyes, only resentment."

"They hate their children for being so useless!"

"Can you blame them?"

"Actually, they have no choice!"

"Because even if they don't strangle their own children, their children's future won't be much better!"

"Ultimately, they will share the same fate as them, thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

"As for them, those who have reached adulthood and cannot produce good offspring, they are either directly used to refine things like Element Seed, or they become food ingredients!"

"Such things are not even the tip of the iceberg in the Universe; as long as you are born in a slave civilization, your entire life is a disaster."

"Without seeing any hope!"

"And I come from the Ancestral Dragon Galaxy, naturally one of the highest civilizations."

"Back then, my clansmen, including myself, were already accustomed to slave civilizations."

"I even ate the internal organs of those slave creatures."

"The purpose of slave civilizations is to become nourishment for higher life forms."

"Everyone is like this."

"So no one felt there was any problem."

"Until that great man holding a spear appeared."

"He declared to the entire Universe."

"This is wrong!"

"The Law of the jungle is never about civilization, but about the jungle!"

"Everyone knows that this Universe is an endless dark forest; it's either you eat me, or I eat you."

"He felt that this world was rotten to the core, and he wanted to change it; he wanted to resist this thing, be it human nature or rules!"

"He didn't talk about everyone being born equal, because he knew that was impossible and unrealistic."

"But at least, let the weak live like living beings, right!?"

"Perhaps they can't enjoy many good resources."

"But at least they have the right to live well with their children and wives, right!?"

"The leader also knew that reasoning wouldn't work."

"So, it had to be a fight!"

"Fight to the end of evil!"

"But later we learned that the truth is often not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"It also involved some ancient divine mysteries, and these matters are inextricably linked to your Galaxy!"

"But at least, through those divine mysteries, we can confirm that the world we aspire to is not a dream; it is possible to achieve!"

"It's not an illusion!"

Lycra's eyes were incredibly firm as he murmured to himself, "What we pursue is real!"

"It exists!"
