Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

"Yes! [Swearing an oath to his legacy]!"

Chapter 388 Alone... or together!

Five years ago.

The settlement where Chloe was living at the time was the one that found the homeless Rick.

But there are no buildings here; the mountain seems to have been hollowed out using an extremely violent method...

[Even a tiny ripple from the battle between the Skywing and Dragon Spirit races destroyed Kroni's settlement and killed countless people...]

[Legs and blood were scattered everywhere; the aftershocks of the impact had charred the corpses, a truly gruesome sight...]

Many others, before they could even escape this unpredictable disaster, were vaporized by the terrifying energy...

An unpleasant odor filled the air...

The whirlwind created by the battle between the two sides temporarily cleared away the [black ash], but upon removing the mask, all that could be smelled in the air was the stench of 'burnt corpses'...

That's the smell of one's own kind dying...

People broke down, wept, and years of hard work went down the drain!

The reason given was simply the absurd notion that the two warring parties were passing through.

Humans haven't even been qualified to be [engaged in battle] or [observed]...

Amidst the chorus of painful, desperate sobs and cries, the white-haired boy seemed accustomed to it all.

After all... there's nothing more devastating than watching your mother turn into a charred corpse in your arms...

He ignored the grieving crowd and gazed at the mountainside engulfed by the aftershocks.

"This location is very convenient; it can be used as a base for the next settlement."

The white-haired boy said calmly, "Humans, in order to survive, cannot even have a moment for sorrow..."

"So what!"

"To those guys, we're practically nonexistent!"

[The desperate and indignant roars of the people resounded. What good would it do to continue living? To continue waiting for someone's next 'accidental' death and then die again?]

"That's right, we don't exist, not equal to, but we are what we want to do."

The white-haired boy spoke calmly.

"We neither exist, nor can we exist, because only by not existing can we remain undetected—we must become the dead!"

A pair of eyes, deeper than the darkness of the distant cave, swept over those who had lost all reason to live.

"Using every means possible to escape, hide, and eke out a living."

"Until one day someone witnesses the end of the war."

Since we can't do anything else, let's at least carry on the legacy of those who have fallen and strive to achieve it.

Since we can't do anything else, let's at least strive for the possibilities of those who come after us.

"[Swearing an oath to my legacy], those who can follow me, then follow me."

The white-haired youth spoke these words, his deep voice, though not loud, resonating clearly in everyone's ears.

His lifeless eyes were like those of a corpse that had long since died... or like an empty shell that had long since lost its soul...

His eyes were like those of a true ghost, yet they offered solace to all those who had lost the will to live...

The reasons to continue living, and the meaning of death!

In the world of Ling Cage, Ran Bing said, "So strong...it's like...a ray of hope..."

In the Marvel universe, Peter Parker says, "The existence of someone like Rick is the best proof that [human beings have infinite possibilities]!"

In the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, William A. Zeppeli said, "With such resilience and a strong will, he is the kind of person who would leave a significant mark on history no matter what era he was born in!"

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Chulan sighed, "...Sigh, I was thinking that with such a good reward, I might have a chance to ascend to the Heavenly Curtain, but...they are all like heroes!"

"Forget it, someone as insignificant as me should just live my own little life."

In the world of Under One Person, Xu Si said, "Tsk tsk tsk, if there were a ranking of 'shameless' people across all realms, you would definitely be number one!"

No Game No Life Zero World.

The group remained in place, but their gazes seemed to drift towards Rick at the front of the group.

Five years have passed since that incident, but for all of them, it is a day they can never forget.

That day, they placed all their hopes for survival, their longing for the future, their fears, their despair... on each other's shoulders...

but……

They recalled Rick's despair and breakdown in the sky because of Ivan's death...

Yes, how could they not know? How could they not know how much pressure Rick was under...

But... the only person they could trust without reservation, the only person they were willing to give their life for without hesitation, was Rick!

Amidst these emotions of guilt, dependence, heartache, and inner turmoil, an idea is planted in people's hearts like a seed.

Rick... has already done enough!

Can I help them share some of the burden... even just a little bit?

Would this make Rick feel a little better?

"Human beings were born in such a world."

"They can't even die without a reason."

[In a region resembling a desert, Rick rode one of the few two-horned pack animals kept by humans toward his destination.]

"The reason for living is the same for everyone."

"Because [the heart] does not accept such a meaningless death."

Stepping down from his mount and examining the newly drawn map in his hand, Rick confirmed that he hadn't gone astray.

"Ivan's death was not meaningless."

[Looking ahead, not far away, there appeared to be the massive wreckage of a spaceship. But in Rick's eyes, this wreckage was merely a disguise; hidden within lay an endless 'treasure'!]

"The palace ruins of the Forest Elf race, possessing a vast amount of information."

"It's not something that can be easily discovered."

In fact, if the goblin map hadn't clearly marked this as an abandoned place, even if humans had discovered it, they would have immediately moved away.

Because any life of any race within this vast ruin would be deadly to humanity!

Keep the map safe; paper is a precious resource too...

Rick reached up and pulled his hood up. Today was a rare "good day" with less black and gray, perfect for exploring. But even he was surprised by his own calm demeanor.

"To remain mentally sound in this kind of world."

"Can this really be called normal?"

A flicker of emotion crossed his empty pupils; he hoped to find something here...

Chapter 389 Gold Placer: Listen to me, what follows is not suitable for children~

Entering this 'palace ruins' of the forest elves from the outside, one is greeted by a massive, intertwined network of plant roots... which are then torn apart by something!

"Was this a goblin seedling?"

Rick was somewhat surprised to see this.

[Continuing to explore, they reached a cliff... no, the ground was split open, and in the bottomless abyss, only a few hard, special rock layers remained standing...]

"No, this level of destruction... seems to be the work of the Skywing race."

Quickly making a decision, Rick continued searching for a path to the bottom of the cliff.

[Just as Rick left, an inconspicuous streak of light flashed past at an almost invisible speed among the towering stone pillars in the 'Abyss'.]

So what if I was reincarnated as a spider? In this world, Spider Child: "Shrimp!! It must be my imagination! ...I must be seeing things! There are no other creatures here!"

"...Right..."

Zero World, Rin: "You... already knew the answer, didn't you..."

In the world of "So What If I'm Reincarnated as a Spider," Spider Child cries out: "Aaaaaah!! Why?! I was so careful! How could this still happen?!"

In the world of the Demon List, Long Sanyuan cried out, "Waaaaah~ Rick~ Please don't let anything happen to you, Rick... Waaaaah..."

Super Beast Armed World, Whale Shark King: "Exploration is destined to be accompanied by sacrifice. Even if you have the will of a strong person, you may not have the strength to match it."

"Trying to touch what you shouldn't touch will only result in death!"

In the world of Lolo's Adventures, Lolo exclaims: "Pah! You're the one who's dead! If you're so strong, then you go for it!"

【"Hmph~ cough~ hmph~ cough~"

Climbing along the vines, Rick continuously used his 'Spirit Needle Compass' to determine his direction. For other races with 'Elven Corridors,' the more 'elves' were present in a place, the higher the likelihood of finding high-value information.

Following the guidance of the 'Spirit Needle Plate', Rick finally arrived at a field of flowers...

Above, countless things resembling plant roots intertwined to form a net-like structure... It looked like the stems of some kind of grass, but each of these "threads" was much thicker than Rick himself.

"What a huge building!"

Rick couldn't help but sigh; being alone actually made him feel much lighter.

The ground was a sea of ​​flowers, composed of countless yellow and blue blossoms, each with a green center and a touch of purple.

The flower emitted a soft glow, illuminating the dark cavern.

Exquisitely beautiful.

Perhaps someone else would be drawn to the scene before them; after all, the pursuit of beauty is almost instinctive for all species.

However, Rick wandered through this 'sea of ​​flowers,' stopping every now and then to observe whether there was any hidden information beneath the 'flower sea'...

【"drink……!"】

Suddenly! Rick's heart skipped a beat!

He turned around abruptly! He looked up at the enormous root-like structure in the sky.

[No one was there...]

There was no sound, but he had just felt something flickering in the air behind him...

In the world of Love Apartment, Chen Meijia exclaims, "Oh my god!!!"

In the world of Love Apartment, Lu Ziqiao exclaimed, "Oh! My ears!"

In the world of Love Apartment, Chen Meijia exclaimed, "That, that, that! A dark shadow! 'Whoosh!' It appeared!"

"I...I can't look anymore!!"

In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Kakawasha: "Huh? Eyes?"

Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Sand Gold: "Listen to me, close your eyes and rest for a while. The following scene may be a little inappropriate for children."

Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Sand Gold (Future): "Hey, when did you become so gentle with yourself? He's not a fragile baby~"

Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Sand Gold: "Shut up!"

In the world of Zhenhun Street, Xia Ling shouts, "Richard! Run!!!"

In the silent space, Rick could only hear his own breathing...

[Thump! ...Thump! ...Thump!]

His heart was pounding, and Rick, almost frozen, looked around.

"Is it just my imagination...?"

Even though he had his back turned, Rick clearly felt a streak of light flash by at an almost unbelievable speed!

【"wrong!!"】

Without the slightest hesitation, Rick quickly got up, wanting to escape as fast as possible!
