Chapter 799 - 763: Sexy Little Xing Online Making a Wish
"Oh god, I have clearly and fully realized the mistakes I made. In the past, I did not realize that God had changed His will, foolishly wishing to return to the past; such a foolish me could of course not receive any response from God;
"Now I fully understand that the old ideas of the past should have been abandoned long ago, and what we should pray for is a brand-new future, a brand-new future for this world;
"This time I no longer seek to return to the past, but only hope to move toward the future You are expecting;
"We will follow the trend of the world, comply with Your will, and dig a gulf that cannot be surpassed. So I pray that God will grant us a brand-new, noble, upper-class 'skin,' completely distinguish us from the lower class, and make the gulf deeper and darker until it becomes an abyss."
The sound of slaughter echoed in the bottomless cavern.
The word "abyss" bounced back several times against the walls before falling to the bottomless depths below.
Gu Mian looked at Slaughter's pale exposed hands: "So after that person made such a wish, you began to 'mutate'?"
"Yes, he realized his wish." Slaughter nodded, "After that I found my skin got whiter day by day, and all the Upper Class People were like this. So far, this 'mutation' has not stopped, haven't you noticed that our hair color is also lighter than that of ordinary people?"
Hearing this, Gu Mian looked up to observe his hair.
But the round helmet blocked Gu Mian's view, preventing him from observing the color of Slaughter's hair.
Recalling the Upper Class People he had seen before, it seemed indeed their hair color was somewhat lighter.
"After the skin was completely whitened, I found my hair, and eyeballs also began to lighten day by day, I think at this rate I will turn into a 'Paper Man' sooner or later."
All white, indeed like a man made of paper.
"But the others did not have my worries, they only saw it as a gift from God, enjoying all of it, and began to oppress and exploit the lower class even more aggressively after the 'mutation,' making the gulf between Upper Class People and lower class grow larger and larger until it became what it is today."
When talking about this, Slaughter's tone was somewhat low, mentioning the disparity between Upper Class People and lower class, he was not as smug as other Upper Class People, instead, there was a touch of imperceptible regret.
Gu Mian stared at him for a while and now raised his question: "You are different from other Upper Class People, you seem…"
Gu Mian thought about the wording: "You seem not to wish for the current situation between Upper Class People and the lower class, you don't wish for such a large gap between them. More accurately, you seem somewhat hopeful that the Upper Class People can be overthrown by the lower class."
Slaughter repeatedly dreamed of the lower class uprising slicing his head off with a knife, but when he woke up and found the enemy right in front of him, his first reaction was not to kill the other to ensure his safety, but to shake and question them.
But he is the one who proposed the division between Upper Class People and the lower class, and the one who came up with the idea of the slaughter game was also him.
On one hand, he eagerly proposed a hierarchical system, oppressing the lower class, yet on the other, he regretted that the gap between Upper Class People and the lower class was growing larger, hoping the lower class would overthrow their rule.
Listening to Gu Mian's words, Slaughter remained silent for a long time.
He looked down at the moss-covered stone steps under his feet, silently walking down step by step. For a time, in that bottomless cave, only the sound of footsteps of the two people and a dog could be heard.
Gu Mian also didn't speak, patiently waiting for the other to open his mouth.
At this time, the two had already been walking on the stairs for almost ten minutes, but they still could not see the bottom, unsure of how deep this cave was.
After walking down a bit further, Gu Mian finally heard a small eyeball on Slaughter's shoulder speaking: "Yes, your observation is very sharp, I indeed do not wish for such a large gap between Upper Class People and the lower class, and I indeed hope for the lower class to overthrow our rule."
"Why?" Gu Mian asked.
Was he using a villain script, forced to play an evil upper-class character?
At this moment, Slaughter finally raised his head, he turned to look at Gu Mian.
Through a layer of glass, Gu Mian could not see his eyes, only seeing blurry lights reflected in the glass, like flickering flames.
"You know, every world at its inception hopes to have a bright and positive future."
Bright, positive future.
Currently, the Paradise World can be said to have nothing to do with those two words.
Slaughter continued: "When this world was just born, we were there."
"You all?"
"Yes, us. We are not the creators of this world but the ones holding the script, hoping to guide this world toward a bright future. The name of this world is Paradise, which is the name we gave, and our initial intention, hoping to transform here into a world like paradise."
Gu Mian was somewhat puzzled.
Judging from Slaughter's words, he meant "we" were the first residents of the Paradise World, holding wonderful wishes, carrying pre-planned scripts, hoping to construct here into a genuine paradise.
Were Slaughter and the others prepared? Did they already know a new world would be born here so they planned their script in advance and descended directly with the script? Why did they do this, was someone commanding them?
Gu Mian had many questions in his heart, his mind was racing.
"Stability and happiness obtained easily will not be cherished, this point we already experienced in the Old World."
"Wait," Gu Mian frowned, "the Old World?"
Slaughter and the others have experienced more than one world.
"Yes, the Old World." Slaughter looked at Gu Mian, "You know we have seven low-dimensional worlds, right? Heard you scared the conductor of the Time Escape train so much that he didn't sleep well for several months."
Gu Mian obtained a copy of the Record of the History of Seven Major Worlds from the train conductor, which the conductor wrote under Gu Mian's coercion.
Inside, there are general introductions of the seven worlds.
As Gu Mian was recalling that Record of the History of Seven Major Worlds, Slaughter spoke again: "We come from the Old World."
The Old World? The Old World is the third world; Paradise is the fourth world.
These two worlds are adjacent.
Gu Mian began to recall the Record of the History of Seven Major Worlds regarding the description of the Old World: "The initial intention of the Old World was to create a society without crime, where citizens abide by laws harmoniously and lovingly. Thus, right from the start, strict laws were set to ensure the guilty are always punished and contributors are surely rewarded, ensuring everyone lived in a happy, satisfying, worry-free world from the beginning."
Although the seedlings were very upright, they later grew crooked.
The "Metamorphosis" variety show in the Old World and the "Slaughter Game" and "Circus" were on par if not worse, wonder how such a correct idea evolved into the current situation.
But did Slaughter say he came from the Old World? How did he go from the Old World to Paradise World?
"We are from the Old World, naturally knowing not to repeat the Old World's old path; following the old path will only lead to repeating the same mistakes;
"We think the Old World became that way because the world's happiness and stability came too easily, once people stop struggling for these two things, their exuberant energy will shift to other matters and cause extraneous problems;
"So this time we devised a new path, dividing everyone in the world into two groups, 'oppressors' and 'resistors,' we need the Evil Dragon, and we need the Hero, we need heroes to lead the people to defeat the Evil Dragon, the process must be extremely arduous, with sacrifices and tears, only then will the happiness obtained at the end be cherished by the people."
