Chapter 1172: Chapter 819 Who Do You Think You Are? (6K)

Although the Demigod Lanxiu possessed the ability to foresee the future, his power was unstable. Even as a demigod, he could only catch glimpses of future events on occasion.

He could only attempt to predict possible future outcomes from those fragmented visions, making arrangements in an effort to alter what was to come.

This underground palace was key to his plans. The palace ruins above were once Lanxiu’s own residence.

It was second only to the imperial palace in terms of security throughout the entire continent.

The underground palace below was intended to be a sanctuary for humans to inherit. Demigod Lanxiu would preside eternally on this throne, providing humankind’s last safeguard and ensuring that humans would no longer be influenced by any surrogates or divinities.

If things truly had gone as planned, human strength would not have waned so swiftly. With a demigod’s guidance, it would have taken humans less than a couple of decades to break free from the gods’ curse, that curse that robbed them of reason. At the very least, the continuity of the human dynasties could have been stabilized.

However, the emergence of the Biomimetic Teardrop disrupted this process.

Keep in mind, the human monarchs had gone into hiding, Demigod Lanxiu was on the brink of death after being defeated, a soon-to-revive Ancient God was shot dead, and the accumulated trump cards of all races were expended.

Once the Teardrop imitated Lanxiu’s appearance and powers, it became the strongest entity on the continent. There was simply no one who could oppose it.

Thousands of knights died at the hands of the Teardrop, which also pursued the dying demigod to this underground palace, thoroughly obliterating humanity’s last line of defense.

Fortunately, Lanxiu had made an additional preparation. Upon seeing the future images of Li Changhe, he guided him.

This was a plea for help that spanned hundreds of years, a distress signal sent by a human demigod to future human kin.

And Li Changhe received the signal, and he arrived here.

This filled Lanxiu with immense relief and joy. Li Changhe represented his last hope and the main reason for his enduring struggle over the centuries.

Above this throne, he was trapped in the moment just before death. Although his complete demise was avoided, he constantly experienced the agony of death, helplessly watching his body wither away. The pain and hatred of those years had nearly driven him to madness.

Meanwhile, he was also afraid. He feared that Li Changhe would not follow the guidance to the underground palace.

He feared Li Changhe might be killed by the Demigod Avatar.

He feared that humanity’s last hope might be extinguished.

But when Li Changhe actually stood before him, he was finally able to relax.

Li Changhe was strong, so strong that even the Demigod Avatar could not stop him. To Lanxiu, this was a delightful surprise.

"General, you have surpassed even what I was before becoming a demigod," Lanxiu said with deep emotion. "In your world, you must also be a distinguished hero, right? I am very grateful to you."

"The General is indeed a heroic figure," Wuji agreed. Despite some identity conflicts, he held great respect for Li Changhe.

"An unquestionable hero!" Xia Yun emphasized. Many in the Great Tang shared her sentiment.

Li Changhe himself, however, simply shook his head; he never considered himself a hero.

Even as many players called him that and praised him.

He indeed didn’t mind helping others within his capabilities, like shattering the Shattered Star or rescuing disaster victims.

But at critical moments, he would always forsake everything else to protect those he cherished.

He didn’t think this made him a hero.

Especially not in front of a true hero.

The human Demigod Lanxiu before him was the true hero.

He went from a slave of the snake people to a general leading humanity in rebellion against the rule of the snake people. Even after becoming a human demigod, he continued to serve mankind wholeheartedly.

After being betrayed by human sovereigns, he fought for humanity to the end, even daring to defy the rules set by the gods.

For humanity, he took down seven Ancient Gods at the cost of his life.

For humanity, he stood vigil for centuries upon the throne caught between life and death.

For humanity, he shed his demigod dignity and pleaded humbly with Li Changhe.

He is the hero of mankind. He gave his all for humanity and still refused to give up.

"To repay you for your help. In addition to the inheritance on the wall, everything here is yours to take, consider it my way of saying thanks," Demigod Lanxiu said, apparently not noticing Li Changhe’s negation, and continued: "Among them, the Black Dragon Spear is crafted from the body of a Void Creature I killed when I became a demigod; it should suit you well, General. I ’saw’ that you also use a bow."

"It’s a pity that I’m no longer in a state to discuss archery with you," Lanxiu’s tone carried a sense of regret. "A rare confidant indeed..."

Li Changhe, like him, was an Archer with strong close combat skills. If humanity hadn’t faced those calamities, Lanxiu might be inviting Li Changhe over to discuss tactics right now.

"Indeed, it’s a shame," Li Changhe nodded. The Black Dragon Spear would indeed be of great help to Li Changhe.

So the Black Dragon Spear was made from the material of Void Creatures, also known as ’Demons’?

And here, Li Changhe saw four or five Black Dragon Spears alone.

Not to mention the other weapons, each of which was of Epic quality. Originally thinking this was an armory, it turned out to be Demigod Lanxiu’s gifts of thanks to Li Changhe and the others.

"So, what exactly do you need me to do?"

Li Changhe asked: "Now humanity is facing the curse of the gods. Forget about extraordinary strength; they can barely preserve their culture. Even if I went out and brought back a few knights, it would be of no use. Whether they can understand you is itself a question. Moreover, our time of existence is running short. It has to be something that can be achieved quickly."
