Chapter 1004 - What I Can and Want to Do
In an instant, the meeting room fell into a unique silence. Rhode shrugged, gazing at the four stupefied people. In fact, Rhode wasn’t the first person who suggested this idea because he suddenly recalled a novel that he had read about escaping disasters. Humans on Earth installed several massive propellers to force Earth off its orbit. Although this was only pure sci-fi, he had to admit that this gave him some inspiration. If you don’t want to do it, why can’t I? Why must I stay here and die with you? Besides, one was limited while the other was unlimited. As long as one didn’t have any mental problems, one would know that it was unfavorable to continue resisting.
“Why? Aren’t you concerned about the risks and dangers from transmigrating immigrants? There won’t be any issue if we transmigrate the entire continent, right? The dragon soul protection should be able to resist the spatial turbulence and other possible dangers. What do you think of this idea?”
“This…”
One by one, the four of them knitted their brows and pondered carefully. Then, Arthur forced a chuckle and nodded.
“Frankly, Mr. Rhode, this is a really bold idea. We never thought of doing it and theoretically speaking, it is possible. But… the risks are huge. Besides…”
“Yes, you’re right. To eke out a living until the last person dies or to gather everyone and carry bravely on a journey that may possibly destroy everyone, this is indeed a problem.”
Rhode understood what Arthur meant before he finished his sentence. Indeed, a higher presence like the Creator Dragons naturally understood the threats of Chaos. But how about the ordinary people? Transmigrating the entire continent involved high risks and dangers. If anything were to go wrong, everything might collapse. When that happened, the Dragon Soul Continent would be destroyed in their hands rather than by Chaos. This was as though two glasses of poisoned wine, where one would seal the throat while the other would allow the victim to speak a few last words. That was their choice. Of course, if one were more cautious, it wouldn’t be possible to be like Earth, where they permitted elites and talents to enter different Dimension Gates by batches. If they were fortunate enough, they might possibly find a world similar to Earth. Perhaps the chances were low, but there ought to be one that would lead to ‘paradise’ after passing through 100 Dimension Gates. And as long as they could survive in the new world, they could reproduce and continue civilization.
But…
“I admit, just as you said, I’m someone from another world. I’m not any of you and can’t understand how you created, cared, and protected this world. But… Everyone. Even children have to graduate from school, leave their parents, step into society to work, live, love, and get married one day.”
Rhode waved his hand.
“So where is it now?”
“We aren’t too sure. Back then when we created the world, we didn’t keep it closely with us in order for it to not be discovered by Chaos. But according to our understanding, it should be somewhere deep in Chaos. It will be a really dangerous task… Mr. Rhode, if you intend to retrieve it, please be mentally prepared.”
“… I understand now. Thanks for your reminder.”
At this moment, the meeting room gradually turned blurry. Rhode looked at the surroundings; everything was beginning to display weird reflections. The four Creator Dragons quelled their expressions, before gazing helplessly at the happenings.
“Seems like time is up…”
Rhode’s body slowly became transparent. There wasn’t enough energy to maintain his projection in this world anymore. Rhode shrugged at this thought, before lifting his head and gazing at them.
“Alright, please don’t worry and leave this matter to me. This is the only thing that I can do for all of you.”
“This may be harder than you imagine.”
“I know.”
Rhode turned around and waved his hand airily.
“I can only do it myself if you aren’t willing to. Don’t rely on others if you want to do something. I feel that it is more reliable to handle it myself. So then, everyone… Goodbye.”
The walls vanished and a white radiance enveloped the place. Everything within it disappeared.
