653: Chapter 705 When Humanity Shines Like Stars (2)!

The man smiled helplessly:

"If everyone thought that way, wouldn't the universe be finished?"

"But actually, I don't care if the universe is destroyed or not; what I care about is whether it will threaten you."

"My dear one, I don't want you to die."

"I... I don't want you to die either!!" the woman cried out heart-wrenchingly.

However, the man's mind was made up.

Just as he said, if everyone held the thought that if they didn't do it, someone else would.

Then how could An Ke become a god?

How could their home be saved?

A golden light began to gradually appear on the man's body.

The woman clung to him tightly, "No... don't! Don't leave me!"

"If you leave, I'll go find another man tomorrow!!"

"I'll go to the bar tomorrow, I'll..."

However, the man in her arms dissipated.

Only the weeping woman remained in the room.

But soon, a golden glow also shone on the weeping woman.

"How could I bear to let you leave alone..."

"And how could I look for another man? My heart can no longer hold anyone else..."

The woman looked at the live broadcast.

"An Ke... can you let us meet again?"

...

Elsewhere, a mother with graying hair at her temples smiled and patted the heads of her two children.

Though they were called children, they were actually in their forties or fifties.

Yet no matter how old they were, in a mother's eyes, her child is always her child.

"Mom, let me do it!" The son's face was full of reluctance.

"You raised us on your own. When resources were scarce before, I, your son, couldn't let you enjoy life."

"Now that life is good, it's time for you to enjoy your blessings."

"Let me do it instead. Mom, Brother, you've always taken care of me. It's time for me to take care of you."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking?"

The mother scolded gently.

Then she smiled, "With two filial children like you, I, your mother, am content."

"I'm getting old and don't have many years left. You two live well, do you hear me?"

"Bullshit!! Now our Dragon Country people have a lifespan of over 200 years. You still have plenty of time."

The son retorted.

"You dare to talk back to your mother?"

The mother pretended to glare and reached out to flick her child's nose.

Then, in a tone that allowed no argument, she said, "Alright, it's decided!"

"You two still have your own families and your own children."

"Be good and live on well."

Before her children's eyes, the mother's figure gradually disappeared.

...

At a certain food stall.

"Damn, that's so fired up!"

Two grown men were drinking and watching the live broadcasts of the various district armies.

More than half of the army had turned into golden clusters, disappearing from the real world.

It was impossible for anyone seeing this scene not to be shaken.

Weren't they also the flesh and blood of their parents?

But they were soldiers, and at this moment, they carried a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

For their home, for the people, they stood at the front, bound by duty.

"In a bit, let's fire up too!"

"You bet!!"

"Cheers!!"

After the alcohol went down, the two old friends began to reminisce.

Talking about embarrassing things from their student days and exposing each other's dark histories.

They also spoke of the hardships during the time when resources were scarce.

Their laughter never stopped.

But as two golden clusters appeared, the laughter vanished.

Many people present watched this scene with complex, hesitant eyes.

But seeing more and more golden clusters appearing around them and then vanishing on the spot.

Finally, someone made a decision and also turned into a golden cluster.

Others, however, cursed under their breath.

"Fuck it!!"

"I was born when resources were scarce and haven't enjoyed a single good day."

"Now that life is finally good, can't I just enjoy it for a bit?"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..."

Amidst the loud cursing, a golden cluster appeared.

...

Across Dragon Country, golden glows continued to flash.

Inside the United Nations conference room.

Elder Li and other high-ranking officials watched the live bird's-eye view of Dragon Country.

With today's advanced technology, every street and every corner was in high-definition live footage.

Everywhere, people were saying goodbye to their loved ones and turning into golden clusters.

This scene moved many Foreigners present.

At this moment, Elder Li slowly stood up.

He grinned, "This is why the Descendants of Yan and Huang are endless!!!"

"An Ke, I, this old man, will also come to help you!"

Elder Li laughed heartily, looking at An Ke at the head of the table.

"Elder Li, you absolutely mustn't!"

"You are the leader of Dragon Country!!"

"If you leave, who will lead Dragon Country?"

The high command was shocked.

"Isn't there a leader right in front of us?" Elder Li looked at An Ke at the head.

"Besides, my will merging into An Ke is the same."

After saying this, Elder Li smiled and turned into a golden cluster.

Before that, he said, "An Ke, afterward, I hope you can take me to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland once more."

"Hey, hey, hey, Elder Li, wait for me!"

At this time, Elder Yuan, who was nearby, spoke up.

Some high command members wanted to persuade him, but Elder Yuan shook his head, "My mind is made up, there's no need to persuade me further."

This time, the Foreigners nearby were truly shocked.

They couldn't understand why the Dragon Country High Command could be so carefree about it.

Now that life was good, they were about to enter an era of abundance.

Shouldn't things like dedication and sacrifice be done by those lower-class people?

If all these elites were lost, who would be left to lead the nation?

However, many Foreigners also turned into golden clusters.

Dog Tycoon, White Goose, Big Hair, Sun Never Sets... and other nations.

Golden clusters continued to flash everywhere.

Looking down at the entire Blue Star from space, one would find that golden lights were flashing all over the Blue Star.

Like a multitude of stars.

At the head of the United Nations, nobles like Fama and Tike watched this scene, their faces behind their masks full of shock.

And over at the Joint Committee.

The nobles of the 99th Realm stood with their backs straight.

As expected! They were right to choose to believe in An Ke and to believe in humanity!!

At this moment, Fama and several other nobles looked at the other nobles present, feeling extremely proud.

"See that?"

Fama shouted.

"This is the moment when the human stars shine!!!"

"Humanity will surely become god-level!"

The other nobles were also shocked.

In their hearts, all intelligent beings were selfish and their hearts were very dark.

Most of them had used unconventional means to reach the god-level.

For example, turning their own civilization into fanatical believers.

Or joining forces with other nobles to guide them through dreams, making them reach a unified will without even knowing it.

However, An Ke had given the power of choice to humanity.

And surprisingly, most of humanity chose to help An Ke become a god, taking their turn to be the sacrificial players for Human Civilization to become god-level.

It was too unexpected!

And too shocking!

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the game.

One by one, golden clusters appeared above the firmament.

Those were the individual wills of humanity.

The light clusters began to Fusion into a giant magic array.

That was the Ascension Ritual Array.

"This, how is this possible?!"

Disorderly Existence was inexplicably shocked.

It never expected that humanity, a race it perceived as selfish, would have so many people choosing self-sacrifice.

Disorderly Existence looked above the firmament, where the halo was bit by bit constructing the Ascension Ritual Array...
