Chapter 1711 - 1262: Is It All Because of Me?

Long Yi left the great hall and arrived at a godless expanse. Unlike the previous three rings, the Divine Texts within the Sixth Ring did not appear on their own. According to the two gods from before, Darkness had taken all the Divine Texts away, but Long Yi did not believe this. Perhaps Darkness could take away the Divine Status and Divine Power that composed the Divine Text, but the information contained in the journal itself would not be taken away.

The specifications of the Sixth Ring differed; they needed to be activated.

And to activate those Divine Texts required nothing more than a thought from Long Yi.

Immediately, countless pieces of information converged around him, and with them, the Divine Texts also gathered. Though Darkness had taken many Divine Texts away, a considerable number of them were still hidden in every corner, blending information with the Divine Texts as they surged towards Long Yi’s location.

This immediately alarmed the heads of the great Legions. The incident with Darkness was not far in the past and the memory of what happened then was still vivid for nearly every god. They thought that there might no longer be any Divine Texts within the Sixth Ring.

But this was not the case.

A large number of Divine Texts were converging in a certain direction!

Could it be that Darkness had returned?

In that previous war, the great Legions had been greatly weakened and had not yet recovered. If Darkness were to return now, could it be seeking revenge?

All the Group Leaders sent people to Long Yi’s location without prior consultation: "Observe from a distance, no matter what happens, absolutely do not engage in conflict."

At this moment, Long Yi was reading his own journal.

"As my fourth experiment, I think I need to make some changes."

"I’ve reflected on everything I’ve done before, which seems a bit too idealized. The initial model was not complex enough to anticipate all situations. Therefore, in this experiment, I’ve added a new label to them, which I call independence."

"Oh! Independence is performing very well, it means even without relying on others, one can complete tasks. But, independence seems to have also induced a trait known as privacy; what is this about? This clearly wasn’t within my preset parameters; is it natural evolution?"

"Primitive societies began to form; this time performing better than the last. Although conflicts arose among them, due to the presence of independence, they all could solve their own problems, so the conflicts did not escalate! This is fantastic!"

"Why! Why has it started again! I only took my eyes off them for a mere hundred years, and the war has already caused such losses! I spent ten thousand years creating them! And yet, in less than a hundred years, they nearly wiped each other out! How could this happen!"

"I simply cannot imagine, quadrillions of lives, ultimately reduced to just one. He challenged me as the only victor, believing his power sufficient to defeat me. When did they become so arrogant?"

"Unsurprisingly, the moment he attacked me, he vanished due to the Creator’s rules. But before he disappeared, he loudly demanded my death. This is so strange; what did I do wrong?"

"What does my existence mean? If I die, what does it mean for this world that exists because of me? I don’t know, but I think I can give it a try."

"I’ve decided to die."

The contents of the Sixth Ring end here. Not much Divine Status has been absorbed, but there was much more information than before.

Long Yi scratched his head, in the end, I’ve decided to die?

That’s ridiculous. Do I, as a creator, suffer from depression?

Well, it seems there’s nothing in the Sixth Ring for me. Better go to the Fifth Ring honestly, Long Yi said to himself. Long Yi intended to leave, but at this moment, countless Legions had already completely surrounded the area. Although the Group Leaders of those Legions had ordered not to conflict with Long Yi, they couldn’t let Long Yi just walk away.

Especially after one Group Leader with muddled thinking ordered a complete blockade around Long Yi, more and more Legions rushed over. Despite the precedent set by Darkness, after all, there was only one Darkness, and it had left for the even more dangerous Fifth Ring, with fate unknown. But now, a stranger capable of drawing ancient Divine Texts had appeared; no matter how this unknown god managed to do so, getting their help would undoubtedly be an immense opportunity for their own Legion!

However, as more gods joined the encirclement around Long Yi, the situation suddenly turned tricky. Who would step forward first? Who would speak? And what to say?

No god wanted to fall behind, no god wanted others to be the first to act. From initial discussions to ultimately hurling accusations and vulgarities at each other.

And so, before Long Yi’s eyes, the gods ended up arguing and finally fought one another.

Long Yi shook his head; he no longer knew what to say. As various Divine Powers shot across the sky, Long Yi silently left. Seeing Long Yi leaving, the gods who were firing their powers exploded in confusion, their divine onslaught almost instantly shifting in a new direction, rushing towards Long Yi. At that very moment, those gods who released their Divine Powers towards Long Yi disappeared into thin air.

This sudden change terrified every god, and as some gods fired their Divine Powers again and disappeared in turn, every remaining god was driven insane with fear.

"This wasn’t my fault," Long Yi said.
