Li Xiuqi's words caused Jiang Chen to fall into a long silence.

He wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.

From his perspective, he was willing to start the extraordinary era because it allowed him to see some scenery he had never seen before.

But what supported his idea was the manor, the apocalypse, everything that seemed unintentional but was actually predetermined, and the powerful force he acquired actively or passively.

With the support of this power, he can face all kinds of crises more calmly.

As for the price of opening the extraordinary era...

That was already borne by humans three hundred years ago.

He is just an ordinary person who enjoys the fruits of victory of his ancestors and shouts cheap slogans.

only……

Jiang Chen quickly shook off the confusion in his heart and replaced it with incomparable determination.

"Perhaps I am not qualified to say these words, nor am I qualified to make decisions for those who died in the changing times."

"But I want to say that I would rather have a sword in my hand but nowhere to use it than to be without a sword when a crisis comes."

These were words spoken by a great and meritorious person in Jiang Chen's previous life, but they seemed more appropriate than ever before at this moment, and Jiang Chen's thoughts became more and more clear.

"The demon army's invasion will not stop, and there is no force in the void that can stop them."

"Even if there is, this force will not necessarily let us, the ants, go."

"The void is infinite, but for these behemoths, it is just a bigger map."

“I have no right to decide whether to start the Extraordinary Era, but if I were to make a decision now, my choice would be very clear.”

"I want to become stronger. I want to reach the highest position step by step, step by step, step by step."

"I want all the races in the void to think of me when they face the main world."

"I want to become the most powerful being in the void."

"I want to be that, the strongest one!"

Jiang Chen spoke out his inner thoughts loudly. Under normal circumstances, these remarks might have made Jiang Chen feel ashamed, but now, Jiang Chen felt his mind was clearer and calmer than ever before.

"The strongest... what a naive idea."

Li Xiuqi showed a hint of mockery on his face and said, "Do you know how many years the ancestor demon Zagoras has been practicing?"

"Do you know what basis other races in the void used to start their cultivation? What price did they pay to gain such power?"

"Why do you think that your efforts over the past few years, even decades, can equal the efforts and struggles of other races that have lasted for thousands, tens of thousands of years, or even longer?"

Li Xiuqi's voice came to an abrupt halt, and the Ancestral Demon's body, which was already riddled with holes, became even weaker under the erosion of the fog.

In a trance, Jiang Chen seemed to see Li Xiuqi's soul slowly dissipating.

Li Xiuqi did deceive many people, but one thing was true.

His lifespan was indeed almost exhausted, and the action just now had consumed his limited lifespan completely.

What Li Xiuqi is about to face is complete death.

"It seems I can't continue chatting with you."

Li Xiuqi sighed and glanced at the manor where Jiang Chen was, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Who would have thought that this original land that determines the future direction of the main world would fall into your hands so early."

"If I had met you earlier, perhaps I could have achieved victory at a lower cost?"

"But it doesn't matter."

A mist suddenly emerged from the head where Li Xiuqi was, and the mist, which was originally full of hostility, changed its attitude at this moment and actually took the initiative to drill into Li Xiuqi's body. "The Origin Land already has an owner, but as an outsider, I can still make the Origin Land make a choice as long as I pay some price."

"Maybe my decision is wrong, maybe I will be cursed by countless people, but that's it."

"At least I tried, tried, and put it into practice."

"In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."

"But in fact, snowflakes are the most innocent."

"After all, it's never the snowflakes that trigger an avalanche..."

Li Xiuqi's voice became softer and softer, and the head gradually became transparent. In just a short while, it would completely disappear.

Correspondingly, the Ancestral Demon's originally broken body was quickly repaired at this moment, and his aura continued to approach its peak moment.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened upon seeing this, and he immediately planned to take action.

But at this moment, a ball of black mist suddenly appeared beside Li Xiuqi, and the head where Li Xiuqi was located also stopped dissipating.

Then, in Jiang Chen's surprised eyes, the dark servant who should have been dead walked out and looked at Li Xiuqi in front of him with a smile.

"My king, how come you are in such a mess?"

The Hades Servant patted Li Xiuqi's shoulder as if expressing emotion, and immediately a force of death was drawn out from Li Xiuqi and entered his own body.

After this force of death was extracted, Li Xiuqi's head actually became more solid.

"Our deal ended a long time ago. These things have nothing to do with you, Knight."

Li Xiuqi looked deeply at the dark servant, or the knight, and said.

"I know. I didn't come here to make a deal with you."

The knight shrugged and looked at Li Yang who had remained silent, and said.

"The person I'm trading with this time is him."

Li Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and glared at Li Yang fiercely with a stern look.

"You want to go against my plan?"

"Sorry, teacher, please allow me to be willful for once."

Li Yang smiled bitterly and said, "If I could know your real plan earlier, maybe I could help you more."

"Now I am asked to continue pretending that I don't know and let the teacher bear the cost to make me successful. I absolutely cannot do it."

"I have been following the teacher's plan all these years. This time, let me make my own judgment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the knight drew out a sickle, quickly slashed it across Li Xiuqi's head, and pulled out a large amount of death force.

The knight continued to move, swinging the sickle in his hand and cutting into Li Yang's head.

It was this operation that forcibly transferred the death that originally belonged to Li Xiuqi to Li Yang.

Click...

The ghost servant's coat on the knight's body was shattered, revealing the appearance of a knight.

"Okay, my mission is complete, and it's time to go back."

The knight stretched, glanced back at Jiang Chen, and said, "If there is a chance, we will meet again."

The black fog spread and the knight disappeared in the same place as when he came.

Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point, but the object that was dissipating had changed.
