Chapter 172: The Call of the Ancients (Part IX)
The disaster comes from my heart. Every time I see Gu Yun, the other party can always come up with some new tricks.
When she first met the other party, Gu Yun immediately rolled up her sleeves and planned to help her find revenge on the gods; when she met the other party for the second time, Gu Yun put forward some opinions and criticisms of her past behavior.
This is the first creature who dared to criticize her in front of her since the disaster had the intention. Before Gu Yun, anyone she met regarded her as a god or a creator. Because of this, every word she said became an undeniable will.
Even the gods who exiled her to this world always maintain a respectful look in front of her.
Perhaps, this is why she is always happy to see Gu Yun.
Only in front of this person, she can get rid of the inherent way of getting along with each other in the past.
"You're right."
The disaster was not deny. She even felt that Gu Yun’s analogy was very important. “They were the first managers I created. Although I gave them power different from other creatures, I did regard them as tools to manage the world.”
Every natural disaster is equivalent to some secret operational rule of the world, birth, old age, sickness, death, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, these are part of what all living beings will experience.
"Natural Disaster" was the name given by people later. This title represents that these managers only represent unknowns and disasters in people's eyes, which is very different from the original idea of Chao. In order to solve this problem, she came to various ethnic groups for the first time, hoping to understand their way of thinking.
"I met Vaughn at that time, the presiding judge you later became familiar with."
The disaster continued, "Vaughan does not have the powerful power innately. Compared with my first creations, he is too small. In front of the managers, they can only survive like ants. However, this is exactly what surprised the most.
"They built a village in a harsh survival environment and established defense measures that could resist monsters. The locals continued to grow and strengthen their own power under the leadership of Vaughn. They had their own arms and began to try to trade with people in other villages. Not only that, they also created many ways of entertainment in a difficult environment. Even if they were as weak as ants, they could use their own hands to make their lives happy."
It was the first time that Fuku witnessed the rise of a tribe with his own eyes and was amazed by their incomprehensible creativity.
All along, all living beings in the world have moved from birth to destruction according to the rules set by managers. Everything is like NPCs with programs written in advance. Their existence forms an extremely magnificent picture scroll, but there is no life in this picture scroll.
The appearance of Vaughn and his tribes brought a unique part to this scroll.
“That was then, I had the idea of handing over managers to these people.”
After witnessing the rise of Vaughn and other tribes, Fu also had other ideas about the managers. She realized that what she needed might not be just a tool that could help her control the rules, but a "family" who could help her enrich the world. Vaughn, who is full of creativity, has this potential.
But compared with the "natural disasters", they are too weak.
"In order to prove whether my decision was correct, I gave them several trials. Vaughn never disappointed me. He seized every opportunity and used all his strength to unite the surrounding villages. They relied on their own strength to resolve the threat of monsters, and transformed fences and roadblocks into towering city walls. They built trade routes and connected different villages. Under his leadership, the first kingdom of mankind was born...
"But the lifespan of human beings is too short. When Vaughn completed all this, he had already stepped into the grave with half his foot. Even in front of death, he did not seem to show too much fear. He used his last time to select helpers who could be trusted and entrusted with important tasks, and summoned them together, and handed over the kingdom to them after his death.
"And that time, I modified the rules for them once."
As a bystander, she witnessed Vaughn's magnificent life. Out of selfishness, she did not want Vaughn's story to end due to time and illness.
Whenever she recalled, she couldn't help but think that if she had no selfish intentions to change the rules of Vaughn's life, then this name might become the first king and be carved in various historical documents forever. People would build statues for him to remember this great king.
And the gods and the presiding judge will not appear.
"You must have heard of what happened later. I secretly helped them win the war with natural disasters and detained the first administrator in the underwater prison."
In fact, she didn't feel too strongly guilty at the time.
In the cognition of the disaster at that time, it was like collecting too sharp tools in a safe corner. It was not until Gu Yun mentioned the trends of natural disasters such as "death", that she suddenly realized what she had done in the past.
"Vaughn and his tribes did show unparalleled creativity. They used to tem to raise the kingdom to the clouds, and also planted a divine tree to connect the kingdom of God and the earth. In the early days of becoming managers, they also showed a completely different management method from the natural disasters. They knew how to adapt and listened to the voices from different tribes."
"Until they sent you here."
Gu Yun had already known about the following things, so he took over the trouble.
"Um."
Huo lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
And this is also where the second manager surpasses their predecessors. They are not satisfied with simply manipulating the rules of the world, but are eager to become truly controlled by these rules.
Vaughn is one of the greatest kings in human history and an ambitious man who will never be satisfied.
Gu Yun asked again, "But why did you suddenly mention these things to me?"
"Because 'war' is not only the strongest among the first batch of managers, but also the crowd who wants to regain the status of administrators. And your battle with him is equivalent to officially taking over the scepter of the manager from him."
A manager must have unparalleled strength, and Gu Yun has proved his strength again and again.
"But pure power will eventually make people lose themselves, and even I am no exception... Therefore, I have one more thing to witness."
"What's up?"
