Superhumans of the Dome City

Chapter 1497: Chapter 57: Everyone Is a Dragon (2)

And what exactly constitutes "everything"?

To mortals, it is merely an addition of others’ power. But for the king who rules the entire world, "everything" is not just his strength, but also his world, his soul...

His eternal truth!

Gongsun Ce had already seen through the king’s word games. He said coldly: "If someone truly breaks through the cycle of reincarnation to kill you, then after inheriting your eternal truth, he will become the new ’King Pingdeng’!"

Indeed, this is not the story of a hero defeating a demon king.

The cycle of the Desolate Fighting God is the cycle of the "godself" among people, and also the rotation between "god" and "self." In the cycle, life and death do not exist originally; the defeated demon king will become a common person in the next cycle. And after enduring great hardships to overthrow the king, the ’hero’ will autonomously replace him to sit on the throne, becoming the new king who sings the praises of equality.

Therefore, the world will not change because of victory. Therefore, the world will rotate because of victory. The evil cycle will continue forever until thirty-three trillion lives reach the end of the cycle.

The blue-haired man laughed, laughed with arrogance and madness. Gongsun Ce punched his chest: "Now, just which ’King Pingdeng’ are you!"

"Me? Are you asking ’me’?" King Pingdeng raised his head, retaliating with a brazen headbutt, "I am the 357,723rd generation of King Pingdeng!"

Astonishment and pain attacked simultaneously, and Gongsun Ce was slammed to the ground by this unexpected strike. King Pingdeng’s face was covered with fresh blood, but he indifferently wiped his face, laughing proudly and frantically.

"You guessed right, Gongsun Ce. The succession mechanism of King Pingdeng existed in the initial Desolate Fighting Realm. In the beginning, the rules of the Desolate Fighting Realm were not as perfect as they are now; the victor would gain everything of the defeated, not only their power, but also their identity, memory, throne, soul...

’My’ existence is passed down in the hearts of victor after victor, ’my’ ideals are carried forward by victor after victor. I am the 357,723rd generation of King Pingdeng, I am also the first generation of King Pingdeng. I, we, our ideals have never changed in the slightest. Our battle is to realize the equality of all beings!"

He seemed to forget he was on the battlefield, forgot his severe injury. He waved his arms excitedly while roaring, like an orator proclaiming a manifesto. He was radiant with spirits, his voice loud and clear, his bright eyes like dazzling stars, with no trace of falsehood in his words. He truly loved his ideals, truly pursued his own career. That was his life, their meaning, reaching the "ultimate" end through the struggles.

"But the original Desolate Fighting Realm couldn’t achieve true fairness, the slain lives had no opportunity, the unlucky who were knocked down would continue to fall. It was still cruel life and death, ruthless victory and defeat. The battlefield I created for my dream ultimately couldn’t fulfill my dream!" King Pingdeng shouted obliviously, "So, a new cycle was born! By the unifying skill governing the seven aspects, I can finally achieve a cycle that disregards life and death, that’s the stairway leading to the end of my dream..."

"When the cycle of the Desolate Fighting God completes its final turn, everyone will become ’King Pingdeng’. Thirty-three trillion lives will reach the common end, life will achieve ultimate transcendence in the cycle and battle. From then on, no more predestined fate, no more coerced will, everyone can become the eternal king, everyone can wield supreme power, shaping their own destiny!"

"Equality for all beings, everyone like dragons!!"

This is the nature of the king, this is the man’s ultimate purpose. The unifying skill and power of the seven realms obtained after long planning never aimed at strengthening himself.

Power is merely an incidental gift, skill just an unexpected delight, the cycle itself is the true result. This crazy vision of making all life eternal kings, the achievement of such a world of madness derived from this dream, is the ultimate pursuit of King Pingdeng!

King Pingdeng stood alone, appearing so great, so selfless. However, Gongsun Ce’s anger rose instead, he gasped as he climbed up, glaring angrily at the blue-haired king, glaring at that madman standing atop the dome.

"What ideals, what meaning! A war fanatic should seldom speak of dreams and ideals!" Gongsun Ce roared, "You’ve never cared about others’ opinions, you are merely intoxicated in your own dream, causing chaos among all beings only for your own pursuit!"

"Precisely!"

The king laughed wildly in agreement.

"This is my personal crazy vision, my unilateral pursuit."

With no hint of remorse, instead overflowing with glory.

"But so what? I won’t use others as my shield, I want to eliminate the strong and uphold the weak, I want to make all beings equal, the starting point of all these actions is indeed myself. Because of this, I am the strongest king, because of this, I can stand at the end of struggles!"

"Do you not agree with me? Want to negate me? Want to crush my ideals? Then come and fight!

What’s there to fear from a mere Destructive God? What I inherit is the madness of 350 thousand generations, what I carry is the story of thirty-three trillion lives. I absolutely won’t lose to you, Gongsun Ce!!!"

In the moment the declaration was finished, King Pingdeng flung out charred chains. The power of plunder quietly activated in the previous melee, using the Immortal Binding Rope taken from Gongsun Ce to bind him. King Pingdeng pushed with one hand, causing the formless and shapeless power to burst forth.
