When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1064 - 406: The Man in the Story
"Why must it be like this?" Li Xiu looked at the scene that resembled a hell on earth, still somewhat unable to understand why things had to be done this way.
Even if one life ends and another begins, they could completely wait for the elderly to die naturally before giving birth to a newborn. There's no need to actively seek death, right?
The voice said softly, "Because the world has collapsed, this world is no longer suitable for the vast majority of life to survive. Not only humans, but various animals and plants have also gone extinct. On the wilderness, only those mutated demon spirits and mutated demon plants can survive. Humans have no food to eat, and the vast majority of humans have died of hunger. Only a few humans have survived in special cities. But with no land, the grain produced within the cities alone cannot support so many people. Humanity needs survival continuation, needs fresh blood, needs enough labor force to survive in this broken world with difficulty. Therefore, those over sixty, who almost have no labor force, out of concern for the continuation of humanity, will go on hunger strike, eventually walking into the wilderness to end their own lives."
"Sixty, for the Trial Taker, isn't it supposed to be the prime period?" Li Xiu realized something after he spoke.
In this city, he actually hadn't seen the Trial Taker, nor had he seen the Trial Gate in the wilderness.
"It seems you've realized, this world no longer has Trial Takers, nor Trial Gates. Humanity can no longer continue its cultivation. Luckily, there are still Magic Armor Masters, otherwise, humanity would have long been extinct," the voice said.
"You mean, I killed that person, saved this world, but also let this world become what it is now?" Li Xiu understood the meaning behind that voice and said silently.
"Yes, you won that battle, but the world turned into what it is now," the voice said with a sigh.
Li Xiu remained silent. He didn't know if the life theater would really become the future.
"It's almost time; you should get on the train." As that voice ended, the scene of the life theater disappeared, and Li Xiu returned to the platform.
The small train let out a toot of its whistle, urging passengers to board.
Li Xiu boarded the small train but heard the voice outside the window saying, "For the rest of the journey, I can't accompany you further because there is no future for me."
Li Xiu wanted to ask something, but the small train had already started, heading toward the endless tunnel.
Li Xiu shouted a few times but received no further response. That voice completely disappeared.
"Who was she? She said there is no future for her, meaning after the life theater, she also died?" Li Xiu frowned and pondered.
The small train continued to advance in the endlessly repetitive tunnel, stopping at each station for a while, but Li Xiu never got off the train again.
Along the way, Li Xiu kept contemplating what he had observed in the life theater. According to his own understanding, the future within the Time Tunnel shouldn't be the real future, but a kind of future deduction based on reality.
That is to say, if the current course of the Real World continues, it might indeed unfold as he had seen.
But this deduction is not unchangeable, so the first stop at the crossroads of destiny, only by making a certain choice would cause the scene in the life theater to become the reality of the future.
If he made a different choice at the time point of that stop at the crossroads of destiny, he believed the future might not be the scenes he had seen.
"The voice said, because I defeated someone and saved the world, it led the world to become like this. If such a choice really comes up, how should I choose?" Li Xiu kept pondering various possibilities.
Unfortunately, the current information is too little, and he couldn't analyze much.
The small train went through station after station, and after what seemed like an endless amount of time, he finally heard the eerie voice on the train announcing, "This train is about to reach the terminus. Please prepare to disembark..."
Li Xiu saw a platform appear outside the window, and the train was gradually slowing down. When the small train finally stopped completely, Li Xiu got off the train, and the scene before him made him lift his eyes to behold.
On the other side of the platform, an ancient black stone gate stood like the Celestial Gate, merging almost entirely with the dark void.
Li Xiu looked up at that void-like gate, which made him feel his own insignificance. In front of this stone gate, he was less than an ant.
Unlike the Trial Gate he had seen before, this stone mountain seemed naturally made, with no trace of artificial carving, no patterns, not even a gap or groove.
Li Xiu was very certain this was definitely not the Trial Gate; there was no place for gemstones on it.
What puzzled him was that there wasn't a keyhole on it, so how was the key that Li Boyang mentioned supposed to open this stone gate?
"The key Li Boyang mentioned seems to be just a metaphor; it's not a real key," Li Xiu said, walking to the void-like stone gate, reaching out to touch it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
But as soon as his fingertip touched the stone gate, an unstoppable force directly threw his body away.
