I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 825 - 825 824. It doesnt matter its all the same

Chapter 825: 824. It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. Chapter 825: 824. It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. “Were you just blown up?”

Old Song’s deep voice came through the “glass,” slightly echoing.

“Just a small problem.”

Lu Ban answered, as if it was to be expected.

“If you have any trouble, you can come to me.”

Old Song said suddenly.

To someone from the Splendid Realm like him, who had seen all kinds of storms and was battle-hardened, the changes in Lu Ban just now weren’t enough to raise any doubts.

“There is actually something.”

Lu Ban stated straightforwardly, glancing at the silver spike.

“Given the situation of this Foreign Domain, you shouldn’t be able to completely seal away the danger here, right?”

Hearing Lu Ban’s words, Shia felt as though the outcome was expected; if the people from the Splendid Realm could have solved the problem here, there wouldn’t have been subsequent issues on He Dao, and their mission wouldn’t have been so troublesome.

Since Shia and Lu Ban were here, it meant that the efforts of Old Song and the others were destined to fail.

However, exactly how it all unfolded was like Schrödinger’s cat—unknown to anyone.

And it seemed that the purpose of their mission in the Silent Lands had become clearer—to solidify reality through the observations of the Chosen by Gods.

Since Lu Ban’s observation could solidify the history of He Dao, it meant that the observations of Old Song, from the Splendid Realm who could also traverse Foreign Domains and time, were unable to solidify reality.

Those living in the era cannot glimpse the raging torrents of the era.

“…You’re right.”

Old Song only paused for a moment before understanding a lot.

“As you’ve noticed, this Foreign Domain has already passed the Hegra limit; its future can no longer pay for the current price, and our losses have been severe. Continuing is in vain.”

“So, you’ve decided to give up on this place?”

Shia took a step forward and inquired.

If the people from the Splendid Realm left, it would indeed be quite troublesome for her and Lu Ban to solve the problem here, and what’s more fatal, given the difficulty level of the mission from the Silent Lands, they were very likely to face this situation.

“Following normal rules, we must abandon this place.”

Old Song sighed.

“Whether it’s the Taviel Time Anchor or any other God-given Equipment, including our own lives, they all have great value and must not be wasted in a world that will inevitably be destroyed.”

“Is there really no other way?”

Shia asked again.

“If this place is destined to be destroyed under the awakening of the Ancient Overlords, then is there really no value in trying to save it?”

Her question was not just about He Dao but also about the Night Country.

The Night Country was facing the same fate; the creatures from the Demonic Tide would one day Corrode the entire Black Forest, cause the Gray Tower to fall, and bring night to descend. From a long-term perspective, their resistance was also in vain.

So according to the standards of the Splendid Realm, the Night Country was also a world not worth saving.

Shia should immediately give up on it and leave forever, preserving her own value.

“From a rational point of view, that is the case.”

Old Song nodded his head.

“I know what you’re thinking, you might think this is immoral, overly rational, a loss of humanity.”

He sat down next to the equipment, the eyes in his helmet holding a pale blue indifference as he looked at Shia.

“And in fact, in the Foreign Domain, in the vast emptiness, those Ancient Overlords, the Outer Gods, those great beings beyond everything, the supreme Divine Beings—they won’t discuss humanity and morality with you.”

“Although we’ve made the effort, this Foreign Domain is ultimately doomed to destruction. Such self-comfort doesn’t bring any benefit to the continuation of civilization; the process of effort has no meaning, only survival is the sole pursuit in the Foreign Domain.”

“I have seen countless Foreign Domains; some are polluted by language, hence lost the ability to communicate through sound and words—residents there can only rely on simple gestures to convey messages; some have their history eroded, losing all once splendid culture, art, and knowledge—living only in the present, lingering on in a state of decay; some are due to relentless storms brought by Pollution lasting a million years, causing the entire world to sink into an endless sea—forcing the natives to abandon their original forms and live in the sea.”

Lu Ban did understand what Old Song was saying.

According to his understanding of the Splendid Realm, it was a civilization that could dispassionately send observers to witness the destruction of a Foreign Domain just to acquire data on the world’s destruction and those Ancient Overlords’ information.

The Splendid Realm, having developed to such a point and even possessing means to gamble with the Ancient Overlords, definitely didn’t rely on humanity and morality but on ruthless advancement.

In that now-silent library were stored the births and destructions of millions of Foreign Domains.

Every destroyed Foreign Domain sounded an alarm.

In fact, for Old Song to sit here calmly and converse with Lu Ban and Shia already represented the humanity left by the Splendid Realm.

Because of strength, there is ruthlessness.

But also because of strength, there is the ability to treat everyone kindly.

If Old Song and the others from the Splendid Realm were not confident in their own strength, they would have been wary of Lu Ban and Shia, repeatedly confirming their identities, instead of warmly welcoming them.

The foundation of kindness is strength.

Without the foundation of strength, kindness is despised by everyone as foolishly naïve.

In such circumstances, if one encounters an insurmountable barrier, it indeed leads to extreme despair.

Perhaps the Splendid Realm had to abandon everything possible, only to find they still couldn’t find the answer, and then fell into ruin.

“So, are you leaving now?”

Lu Ban asked.

“I just went to confirm the final data and wrap things up, to prevent Pollution from the Outer Gods from spreading to other Foreign Domains through the Taviel Time Anchor or our departure trail.”

Old Song glanced at the giant silver spike standing above the vast ocean.

“Since you’ve come from the future, you must already know the fate of this place.”

At this point, Shia suddenly looked up.

“In the future we come from, He Dao… this Foreign Domain has not been destroyed.”

She said.

“Despite being severely polluted, people are still living, sacrificing to prevent further pollution, at least, the sea still exists.”

“Is that so?”

Yet Old Song didn’t show a surprised reaction, as if he had known it would be so.

“It seems that the time you’ve come from isn’t that far off; perhaps in the meantime, someone entered here, did something, and delayed the destruction of this Foreign Domain for some time, but it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.”

“But what if I said, we could now make an effort to bring that limit back into the range of salvageability?”

At this, Lu Ban spoke up.
