Chapter 13 – Human greed

"Han Fei, what's the point of all this?"

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Chen Luo looked at Han Fei indifferently. After the Epic Battle, he had rarely paid attention to the human race because he believed that, at least for a short time, the beastmen and humans would develop peacefully without any major conflicts.

If he hadn't accidentally seen the forum, Chen Luo wouldn't have known about the farce Han Fei had orchestrated.

Now, the entire human race was suffering because of Han Fei's selfish desire for immortality.

If this trend continued, the beastmen might make a comeback, and the balance would be broken again.

Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a headache. Human greed truly knows no bounds. In reality, Han Fei was just an ordinary person, but after gaining everything in the Western Fantasy World, he began to covet things that didn't belong to him.

"Is it really you, the great Creation God? Have you truly come?"

Han Fei's voice was hoarse, but he was incredibly excited!

Chen Luo looked at Han Fei with a hint of pity in his eyes. The young man from back then had grown old, and the soft knife of time was the most terrifying.

"Do you seek immortality?"

Chen Luo's gaze quickly returned to calmness, and he asked lightly.

"Yes! Great Creation God, I have now led the human race to rise. Please grant me immortality; it is the reward I deserve!"

Han Fei's excited voice echoed in the Divine Temple, leaving countless viewers in the live stream room with complex emotions.

From the founding of Han Fei's nation to leading the human army in the Epic Battle and defeating the beastmen, becoming a hero of the human race, these were all witnessed by millions of viewers.

During this process, Han Fei gained many fans, and at least the majority admired him greatly.

But now, seeing Han Fei begging and crying for immortality from the gods, everyone felt that the hero in their hearts had collapsed.

"I suddenly understand him a bit. If I had received the divine power and became the founding ruler, I might also covet this world."

"Yes, in our history, which founding ancestor didn't seek the way to immortality?"

"Hmph, even so, those founding rulers didn't drag the entire country and its people to the grave. Don't forget, the human race is still weaker than the beastmen, who are watching us like hawks. If it weren't for those beastman players fighting for the leader position, the human race might have been doomed by now."

"Do you think the Creation God will grant him extended life?"

"I don't think so. The Creation God's attitude is so indifferent..."

"You seem to forget, this is a game world. The so-called Creation God is just an NPC. It depends on whether the developers want Han Fei to continue living."

...

The people in the live stream room began to argue about whether Han Fei was right or wrong, and whether the developers would let Han Fei continue to live.

Chen Luo chuckled and said lightly, "The reward you deserve? You seem to have misunderstood something. From the beginning, it was out of pity for your human race that I granted you power to protect them.

Yes, you did well, allowing the human race to finally gain a foothold. You became the first king of humanity, and your name will be immortalized in history.

Power, status, fame, beauty, wealth—you have it all. What more could you want?"

Han Fei shouted, "But this isn't what I want!"

Han Fei trembled as he stood up from the throne and walked a few steps to stand before Chen Luo.

Although the mask concealed Chen Luo's face, Han Fei could tell that the Creation God before him hadn't changed since their first meeting.

So many years had passed, yet time had left no trace on the god.

Han Fei looked at Chen Luo's youthful form with fervent eyes and exclaimed, "When the body ages and the power within begins to wither, I realized that so-called power and strength are illusions. None of it matters! Only by becoming a god like you can one achieve eternity! I want to be like you, to live as long as the heavens!"

Chen Luo laughed silently, "Human greed, indeed, is not a lie. But why should I grant you eternal life?"

Han Fei was taken aback, then glared at Chen Luo and said, "No, I completed the mission you gave me. You should reward me!"

Chen Luo shook his head, "I never gave you a mission. On the contrary, I gave you the power of choice. With the power I granted you, you could choose to protect the human race and gain supreme power. You could also choose to use it as a foundation to break through the limits of human strength and extend your life. But you chose power and now face death, and you want me to satisfy your unreasonable desires and demands?"

Han Fei's body shook as he finally realized what was wrong. The method for immortality had always been right in front of him, but he was blinded by power and never noticed.

As long as he kept evolving and breaking the limits of strength, he could extend his life and become as powerful as a god!

"Great Creation God, I was wrong. I beg you to give me a little more time!"

Chen Luo glanced at Han Fei indifferently, "The birth, aging, illness, and death of species are natural laws. Since you chose power, you must bear the consequences of that choice."

Han Fei's body trembled slightly, and soon his eyes showed a crazed look, "I will trade everything I have now, whether it's money, power, or beauty, for just ten more years—no, five years would be enough. I can definitely break through my current limits!"

Chen Luo chuckled lightly, "What meaning does any of that have to me?"

Han Fei was stunned, and the viewers in the live stream room fell silent.

Indeed, everything Han Fei had now was obtained through the power granted by the Creation God. Now he wanted to trade what originally belonged to the Creation God for life, which was absurdly ridiculous.

Moreover, did the god need anything Han Fei mentioned?

Seeing Han Fei's deranged state, the viewers in the live stream room couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"If you won't give it, then I'll take it myself!"

As Han Fei roared these words, he retreated to the throne and grasped the Divine Sword Judgment.

With a furious roar, Han Fei's once aged body seemed to rejuvenate suddenly. The age spots and wrinkles on his face quickly faded, restoring him to a middle-aged appearance.

This time, Chen Luo was somewhat surprised. His eyes shone with divine light as he quickly scanned Han Fei's body.

"Interesting, it seems you haven't wasted these years. You've completely fused the Blood of Fury with your genes."

Chen Luo smiled lightly, "But fully activating the Blood of Fury will only restore your youth for half an hour. After that, your genes will collapse and disintegrate into a pool of blood. So, are you planning to take me down with you?"

"Yes, I will commit deicide!"
