Demon Lord 3

The next morning, everyone was trying to persuade us to stay, not wanting us to leave. I understood their feelings; after all, we were in the last small world, and we couldn't predict whether the road ahead would be dangerous, difficult, or even beyond our imagination. Everyone wanted us to stay or leave together, but I realized that this method wouldn't allow us to leave this world. I not only needed to ask my father for help but also figure out what to do next and what we needed to prepare. We came to this small world openly and honestly, but we left without a clue. Everyone was saying their reluctant goodbyes, but I didn't know where to go next. In my eyes, this world was an end—the end of this small world, and the end of our trial. But what lay beyond the end? Would this door open for us, or would it be a window for us to climb out? We didn't know. We could only slowly explore. Without asking anyone for help, we might not be able to get out of this maze, but if we weren't allowed to navigate this maze on our own, how would we deal with the even more difficult paths ahead? Amidst my inner turmoil and struggle, I finally chose a new approach: to try and break through our inner limits without external assistance. Perhaps our inner limits weren't high enough, or perhaps our cultivation was inadequate, which is why those above weren't paying attention to us. We might have simply completed the game, but that didn't mean our equipment was at its maximum level. Without reaching the maximum level, we couldn't enter the next level. After all, with our current strength, we'd only be easily crushed in the next level. Thinking this through, I decided to take a gamble and calm everyone down first. Actually, our strengths might all be quite different, but we can try to connect with the people in the smaller worlds and ask our companions in other smaller worlds where they've progressed in their cultivation, to see if there's any breakthrough. We decided to act immediately. That night, we used the poor signal in these smaller worlds to make a call, and everyone gave me quite a few responses. I checked everyone's level; the first few worlds were fine, everyone's cultivation progress was steady, and we didn't need to worry too much. However, the people in the middle worlds were falling behind; in our eyes, they weren't even as fast as us, who were cultivating as we went. I did urge them a bit, but everyone's cultivation methods are different, and I can't really monitor the messages being sent out. Who knows how many days it will take for them to receive the messages and send them back? We've already gone through several days! Zhou Chuyuan, you should disagree with my idea. After all, we're currently in a passive, waiting-to-die situation. We can only convey our predicament through this information, but we can't directly address the breakthrough point, nor can we quickly improve the strength of our weaker companions. But when I asked him to find a solution, he shook his head. Now I understand, it's not that we have a problem, but that the world has imposed too many restrictions on us. Perhaps our time hasn't come yet? Is this world just generating traffic and information, or is it testing our time, or conducting research to force us to make a breakthrough in a short period? Or did Father and the others foresee all of this? They conducted an experiment, demonstrating how to achieve our current state, or even break through the world's limitations, in a short time, but we failed. We failed, or perhaps we are not as strong as them. Thinking of this, I quickly shook my head. How could we be weaker than Father's generation? If their generation couldn't defeat the Dark Emperor, then our generation lacks their talent, their abilities, and their diligence. What will we gain in the end? Will we be easily defeated again? Thinking of this, I quickly shook my head. Of course, this wasn't the ending we wanted. What we really wanted was that kind of counterattack, that feeling of winning that truly belonged to us. I didn't want to be overshadowed by anyone's glory, and I didn't want to be told that we only achieved this through our parents' hard work. But aren't we now walking the same path they walked before? Their starting point was the Great World, and so was ours. But we have one thing in common with them: we started from the Great World and didn't defeat the so-called Dark Emperor, who always coveted endless power and eternal life. This shouldn't be wrong, but at such a young age, we were blinded by greed.
