Chapter 1247: Undead Emperor
Dudian indifferently said: “There are advantages to being smart but there are disadvantages to being stupid. I don’t know if you are willing to be the smart one or the stupid one.”
The youth in white smiled: “I can make smart people listen to me. Naturally they are smarter people.”
“That would be the best.”Dudian looked at him, “It shouldn’t be too difficult for you to conquer the Empire and the federation. Why didn’t you do such a smart thing before?”
“War is not a smart thing. Only stupid people are forced to think of a better way to start a war.”The youth in white smiled: “They are like two boors. They can’t reason with each other and can’t negotiate. In the end, they have to act.”
Dudian indifferently said: “Unfortunately there are too many stupid people in this world. We can only use our fists to wake them up.”
“Fortunately I am not such a stupid person.”The youth in White said.
Dudian deeply looked at him. He thought that there would be a massacre and rivers of blood. He didn’t expect that the undead Emperor would surrender, but how many people in the world would choose the Smart Path?
“Can you tell the reason?”Dudian asked.
The youth looked at him, “You can suppress the Empire and the federation. I believe that you are the ‘God’that they pursue. But you are a human. I believe that even if you have been nurtured by one of them, you should be free now. Otherwise you wouldn’t have overthrown them, right?”
Dudian quietly listened: “That’s right.”
“In some ways, our positions are the same. After all, we were once… humans.”The youth put away the indifferent smile on his face. There was a bit of coldness in his eyes, “The Empire and the federation belong to the Aragami and the ice worm respectively. The Fire Dragon Kingdom is controlled by the flame worm. The three forces occupy the earth and use humans as experiments.”
“They are a balance. No matter which side I attack, I will break the balance. Once I break the balance, there will be a worse situation. This is one of the reasons why I don’t want to attack.”
“The second reason is for the ordinary humans.”
“Once the war breaks out, there will be countless casualties. At the same time, more people will be infected by the virus and become half-human and half-corpse like us. I don’t want to see that.”
Dudian’s eyes widened. He couldn’t help but be surprised. The Undead Emperor had said that war was a stupid thing to do. But now he said that he didn’t want to go to war, was it to prevent the Empire and the federation from sacrificing human beings? And to prevent them from being infected and becoming undeads?
The youth in white smiled as he saw Dudian’s face full of surprise and strangeness, “Although I know it’s strange to say so, but I’m serious. Logically speaking, the more infected people are, the stronger my power will be. It’s not impossible to unify the world, but…”
He paused for a moment and bitterly smiled: “You don’t believe me. In fact, I want to be a human.”
Dudian was speechless.
An undead emperor who controlled countless undeads and undead kings actually said that he wanted to be a human?
“Is this black humor?”Dudian said in a bad tone.
The youth in white shook his head, “More than 200 years ago, I was infected by the virus and became an undead. After a period of muddleheadedness, I evolved into an undead king and gave birth to my current consciousness. After the birth of my consciousness, I hunted a large number of humans and infected the strong ones. I made them become undeads and absorbed them as my subordinates. They accompanied me in battles!”
“At that time, the corpse kingdom was not established yet, and the empire was still building giant walls.”
“I killed countless people and monsters. My evolution speed was very fast, and I gathered a large number of corpse kings to work for me.”
“In order to become stronger, kill more people, and eat more delicious flesh and blood, I learned human culture, learned human technology, and learned human life…”
His eyes showed some gentleness, he said softly, “As I learned more and more things, I realized that these delicious foods are not just for eating. Humans are very interesting. Through understanding human knowledge, I also know what I am and the reason for my birth. I really want to know what the memory of being a human in my brain is.”
“What kind of person would I be before I was infected by the Undead?”
“Unfortunately, neither human technology nor the technology of the magic insects nor the technology of the Aragami can help me solve this mystery. Unless I become a God!”
“However, from the research data of the Aragami and magic insects, I know that it is impossible for the undead to become a god. So I also know that if the Aragami and the Aragami give birth to a god, my good days will be over.”
He sighed but wasn’t sad. He looked up at dudian: “Now that God has been born, and not the Aragami and magic insects, this is an unexpected surprise for me.”
Dudian listened in a daze. If he didn’t see the expression of the undead emperor, he wouldn’t have believed his ears. He thought that the undead emperor was like the Demon Emperor, he didn’t expect that the Grand Corpse Emperor would say such words. He wanted to become a human and was ready to wait for the birth of God.
“Since you know that God will be born, haven’t you thought of destroying the Empire and federation at all costs to stop their research? Wouldn’t the entire Earth fall into your hands?”Dudian couldn’t help but ask.
The youth in white sighed. He seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life, he said in a lonely tone: “I have ruled corpse country for so many years. My territory is as far as my eyes can see. No one dares to disobey my orders! But what is the meaning of this?”
“When your eyes see your subordinates, they will respect you, fear you, and fear you. But no one will understand you. They will know your ideals and ambitions. They will know your expectations and fantasies. They will not dare to speak freely with you. They will not be able to chat with you…”
“The throne, the throne, only one person sits on it. It is destined that the scenery he sees will be higher than everyone else’s, and it is also destined that no one will understand you!”
“Our Corpse Kingdom’s territory is larger than the empire, and larger than the federation. Even if we rule the entire world, how far can I See? It is just the end of the horizon. After all, this earth is round…”
