After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 321 - 65 Shini Devil Sky

*How interesting... Yila turned out to really be chaos, or rather Yila truly knew the true face of chaos, and even stood in the same camp as chaos; although Yila might not want to destroy the world.*

*Companion of the Demon Dragon, and the one who seeks the tiger’s skin.*

*Perhaps this is Yila’s identity. Ernie wasn’t sure if Yila had such confidence, but it was undeniable that Yila indeed seemed to have gained some benefits from chaos.*

The special profession known as "Governor," which was different from all other professions in the world, seemed to prove this point... It could also be almost certain that the so-called "chaos" was indeed connected to the World Tree.

*But Ernie didn’t really care... probably.*

"I slept for a very, very long time... Then I woke up, and everything I once knew had turned to dust. No one knew me, and in the place that was once my home, a new family of fire elements had moved in."

Ernie said this, looking at the suddenly solemn Yila. She sighed softly and said, "I drove them away... But now, thinking back, maybe I shouldn’t have done that."

*Home and home, past and past... The passing of the ages, the power of time.*

*These things really confused Ernie. If that’s the case... doesn’t she simply have no place to go? Everywhere felt like a traveler’s inn and not a place she could ’safely return to.’*

*Despite doing nothing at all, she ended up homeless.*

"Did you find out something?"

Yila said this, looking warily at Ernie, but he saw nothing... because the confusion on Ernie’s face at this moment was undeniably genuine.

It seemed that Ernie was indeed puzzled by this question, rather than knowing about Yila’s obsession and understanding Yila’s twisted persistence, and then asking him out of some purpose.

So, the longing for ’home’ that existed in both of their hearts was just a coincidence... or rather, it was just that both of them happened to have such thoughts, and that was all.

"Alright, it seems I misunderstood..."

Yila said this, glancing at Ernie’s beautiful flowing flame-colored long hair, then gently looking out the window... It had also begun to snow lightly in the Demon King Territory.

"Where should I start?"

Yila said this, his memories drifting far away, simply asked, "Are all your family gone? Due to the perpetual life and long slumber of ’Lunwai’?"

At this, Ernie rested her chin on her hand, her gaze hollow, as if she had returned to some day in the past. She said, "Yes, but rather than ’family,’ it’s actually closer to ’tribe’... The clansmen I knew have all perished."

"The current tribe of fire elements is no longer the tribe I knew. My race was destroyed, a new lord has been born among the new fire elements, a new group of people, new buildings, and no one recognizes me anymore. For me, it’s no longer home."

As Ernie said this, Yila gave her a sidelong glance... If it was just this, then what could Yila be considered? He watched his entire race be exterminated with his own eyes, and then witnessed the collapse and destruction of the whole universe.

*Then, due to his usual sympathy and acceptance of AI, he was deliberately spared... What does this count as?*

Yila then faced a brand-new world and entirely different system, everything had to be readapted, and the people around him couldn’t even understand his thinking... The one who should feel the loneliest was Yila.

So, Ernie’s situation was just...

"To put it plainly, you’re just bored... Find something to do, and you won’t get stuck in meaningless thoughts."

Yila said this at first, then realized something and corrected himself, "Maybe you don’t understand the slang ’stuck in meaningless thoughts,’ in another way—’immersed in meaningless contemplation.’"

What he said was sharp, but Ernie didn’t get angry.

"Yes, I said ’Lunwai’ is very boring."

Ernie said, mimicking Yila, quietly watching the snow outside the window. "So, I plan to use all my boring time to think about where my ’home’ is... I will go to various places in the Main Material Plane to search for the answers I want."

This was really an answer that left people speechless.

"Everyone misses the past and home, whether it’s you or me. It’s the most normal thing, and the key is... what should you do? Do you have dreams?"

Yila didn’t want to talk about his own matters. He simply asked, simply asked this complex-thinking ’Lunwai,’ asking about her dreams.

"Dreams..."

Musing over this, Ernie somewhat confusedly looked over her own life. She spent her thoughts but couldn’t find the existence of such a thing. She hesitated, shook her head, indicating she had no dreams.

"Then, do you have dreams? What are your dreams?"

Ernie asked this.

"..."

And for this question, Yila almost didn’t need to think. He could instantly say a myriad of words, which together formed that thing called the past future—’The Eternal Kingdom,’ ’The Absolute Federation,’ ’The Happy Future.’

However, Yila, after all, was Yila.

In that instant, Yila realized he was standing at an interesting crossroads...

’Lunwai’—this ’Lunwai’ named Ernie, undoubtedly had terrifying power, but correspondingly, she had a very immature mind and very easily understood thoughts.

Ernie’s worries, Ernie’s hesitations, Ernie’s struggles... In everything Yila had experienced, they were just a small part, even the most immature part.

*Could be used, could be manipulated, could be leveraged.*

Just like the Governor would inherit and use others’ strength to fight, as the initial Governor, even the most fitting ’Governor,’ Yila had this kind of awareness and will.

Thus, he quickly thought of the most perfect answer flawlessly! Be it the truth... or a lie... If the other party could easily see through it... even that could be utilized...

"..."

Then, in that moment, just at the moment Ernie finished asking...

"My dream is..."

Yila said this, and the distance between him and Ernie in this room seemed to stretch infinitely far, and with his words, draw infinitely close again: "To turn the world into..."

Saying this, simply saying this.

Yila sat at the farthest place from Ernie’s seat, sitting in the corner.

Yet it seemed as if he was facing Ernie... forehead to forehead, eyes to eyes. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"A place where everyone can feel ’safe’..."

In Yila’s voice, Ernie’s eyes widened sharply, shining with beautiful colors, just as she could easily sense the relationship between Yila and chaos from his words. She could also perceive... every word Yila spoke was as brilliant as diamonds and stars.

Also just as true, with no hint of falsehood.

"An eternal, indestructible ’home.’"

Yila said this.
