I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 639 - 637 Please Witness
Chapter 639: Chapter 637 Please Witness
Pei Guode Hotel.
The room deepest into the top floor.
The figure of Divine Power Tianyang condensed in the corridor.
He gently pushed the door open, only to see a short-haired elderly woman sitting at the table, cradling a hot cup of coffee.
"Ezekiel, are you satisfied with your room?" Divine Power Tianyang asked.
Ezekiel put down the mug, smiled, and said, "It’s much better than the cage Spencer arranged, at least I can see the sun here."
Divine Power Tianyang walked to the window, his figure almost merging with the sunlight outside.
"It’s good that you like it. People say I am a destroyer, a pseudo-god, but many also flock to me seeking a place in the New World. I am curious, how do you see me?" he asked.
"Why don’t you answer my question first?" Ezekiel said.
"Ask away. I am not stingy," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"Why did you spare me?" Ezekiel asked.
Divine Power Tianyang turned to look at her and said, "Do you pursue death more than life?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"I just don’t understand. You must have known about my abilities from Spencer II’s memories. I thought you would kill me and take away my ability to foresee the future... but you didn’t do that. Why?" Ezekiel asked.
"Foreseeing the future." Divine Power Tianyang shook his head and continued, "You cannot foresee your own life or death, hence your current doubts. It’s like the Heavenly Falling Objects couldn’t foresee their own outcomes and thus became Black Medicine, entering your spinal cord. What absurd and tedious child’s play this is! I do not care for such inferior powers."
"You are right, Divine Power Tianyang, I cannot foresee my own end, but I did indeed see some visions of the future, all as real as can be," Ezekiel said.
"There is a concept called the pre-verification of prophecy. I’ve read about it in some mythological stories. Knowing one’s fate in advance, one always tries to change that outcome. Yet, the very actions one takes end up bringing that outcome about," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"I’m well aware," Ezekiel nodded.
"What you saw is only what you saw. Perhaps the causes are different, the results may look similar, but fundamentally they are very different. Your half-baked foresight didn’t foresee my arrival, so you also can’t know my future. I don’t need to know something in advance to decide to do something. Only the weak need the assurance before they act. What I do isn’t about gaining something; it’s about changing something," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"Perhaps, your future may also change because of your actions. Everyone has their own destiny," Ezekiel said.
"I don’t believe in destiny, Ezekiel. I only believe in change brought about by action. There are no wishing machines in this world, and praying is meaningless. I will become a god unlike those the West Soil People believe in. I won’t grant blessings; I will only show the way," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"Whether you believe in destiny or not, the principles won’t change, and the universe will continue its steadfast course. I have seen some things about you—your black body will be dismembered; I have seen it... you will fall on the red dust, and you will bleed," Ezekiel said.
"Wait and see, Ezekiel, just wait and see. I will show you that what you have seen is only what you wanted to see," Divine Power Tianyang said with a smile.
"So, why have you kept me? You still haven’t answered," Ezekiel said.
"Witness. You are a witness. You will be the last of the old humanity when everyone else has ascended as Divine Descendants. Then we will conquer the stars, defeat the stars that imprisoned us. You will witness that great moment, as a human, and you will record it. It is important. It will have great historical significance," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"I didn’t expect you to care so much about this. I thought you cared about nothing but destruction and devastation," Ezekiel said.
"I cannot build a new city on ruins. The world of the old humanity is already decayed. Human flaws have created societal flaws—economics, ideologies, social structures, classes, military, and geopolitics... Because humans are in pain, so they live in pain. Without changing humans, those pains cannot be eradicated. Look at the people in this city, no President, no privileged class, no wealth disparity, only people with different abilities. Isn’t that great?" Divine Power Tianyang said.
"There are innate differences in humans. Humans are not individuals; they are a collective. Human society has not only pain but also joy," Ezekiel said.
"In human society, the vast majority possess only pain, while joy resides only in the hands of a few. Did you know that differences exist, but they are also eternal and designed?" Divine Power Tianyang said.
"In your New World, haven’t you designed these followers too? They have all become your soldiers. Here, I see no life, only an army and those who will soon become mutated soldiers," Ezekiel said.
"We must first have barbarity to have civilization. When the threat of the stars is eliminated, when we have established our position in the grand narrative, then civilization will come," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"That’s just your excuse. You once despised those Presidents who waged wars; you tried to save those trapped in wars. Now, you have become them; you will drag this world into a sea of flames, you will destroy it..." Ezekiel said.
"I am saving it!" Divine Power Tianyang spread his arms wide, his radiance becoming even brighter.
"I am saving this world. Elevating humanity and having our own Chapter in the grand narrative, that is the greater meaning," Divine Power Tianyang said calmly.
"How many people need to be killed to save this world?" Ezekiel asked.
"That depends on their attitude. If the remaining kingdoms voluntarily disband, my Knights will bring them all to this land where the sun shines eternally. They will join the blood-giving ceremony and become Divine Descendants. If they resist to the end, then I can only clean up the ruins," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"You said, I am the recorder; I have recorded everything you just said," Ezekiel said.
"Do not miss a single word. The enterprise I aim to achieve is immensely challenging. I do not need to be seen as good in the eyes of animals. After all, only I can make these cruel decisions. One day, you all will know, I was right," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"I am watching," Ezekiel said.
"Kindly bear witness," Divine Power Tianyang smiled, his figure gradually fading into the light.
The room again fell into silence.
