Chapter 899 Return

When Dio returned to his villa, it was nearly one in the morning. Even he felt somewhat exhausted.

He rented a small apartment specifically for switching identities. He had already showered at the apartment, so when he returned, he still looked radiant.

However, when he returned to the bedroom, his wife was not resting. She looked at Dior, her eyes glistening with tears, as if she were about to cry.

Dior stepped forward and patted her head.

"Why are you back so late? If you have a lover outside, you can bring him home. There's no need to exhaust yourself," the wife said softly.

Dio wasn't angry at his suspicious wife. He knew that this suspicion was a stubborn habit deeply ingrained in her.

It's like a kind of inertia, making people always act according to a certain behavioral pattern.

Dior smiled and then said, "Do you believe in fate?"

The lady nodded silently.

“Then the connection between us can be traced back to several eras,” Dio said.

"...How did you know?" the wife asked curiously.

"Want to hear a story? I can tell you slowly," Dio said with a smile.

"Oh~" the lady nodded.

The two then lay down on the bed, and Dio began his story, starting from the era of the Forge King.

The wife seemed a little confused.

"Wait a minute, Dio. Are you trying to say that the most wicked queen in history was my past life?"

"Yes." Dio nodded.

"So you're the Forge King?"

"Yes."

"This...this is really...interesting." The lady couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't really believe in reincarnation or anything like that; she just felt like Dior was telling her history. Perhaps Dior simply wanted to enrich her literary knowledge.

The history of this world is actually quite similar to that of the outside world. It seems that when the Crystal Moon formed this dream, it also referenced the worldview of the outside world.

The only difference is that the extraordinary powers in this world are hidden. Therefore, much of that history seems like mythology. However, historians have used these myths to depict what they believe to be a true history.

The historical figures haven't changed; what has changed is their fighting prowess.

The Crucible King's ugly appearance has been described as the product of inbreeding, and his feat of fighting against a thousand men has been downplayed by experts and scholars as fighting against ten men.

As for the legends about beastmen, experts believe they are simply primitive tribes wearing animal skins.

Dragons are mythical creatures, impossible to exist.

In short, everything with a mysterious aura was downplayed.

When Dio recounted how the wicked queen tormented the Forge King, the lady's expression became excited.

"Dior, you described it so meticulously, it's like you were there!" The wife's mouth was watering.

"Um... don't you think these descriptions are a bit gory?"

"No, I find it very interesting. Isn't this the kind of angst you mentioned? The Forge King loves the Queen and willingly endures her imprisonment and torture. If it weren't for his two daughters, the Forge King would probably have chosen to be tortured indefinitely, right?"

"I'm just a little curious, did that wicked queen ever regret killing her husband in the end?" The wife stroked her chin.

“If we follow my lead, she’ll definitely regret it in the end,” the wife said confidently.

“No, she has no regrets,” Dio said.

"Impossible, right? After all, people aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?" The wife didn't believe it.

“When a person is extremely selfish, it is very difficult for him to understand the feelings that others have for him,” Dior said.

"..." The lady fell silent, unsure how to respond. After all, she didn't consider herself a particularly selfish person, and perhaps she truly couldn't understand the Queen's thoughts at the time.

"Dio... are you telling me this story to say that the wicked queen hurt your past life, so you want to take revenge on her in the same way?"

"You want to torment her, to make her live in constant fear? Isn't that right?"

The lady hugged Dior tightly.

"If you're really angry, I'm willing to accept your anger~ You can torture me however you want..."

As his wife's embrace tightened, Dior's emotions became somewhat complicated.

The wife seems to have treated this history as some kind of special kind of play...

"Ahem! That's not what I meant. Actually, I just wanted to use some stories to help you understand the true nature of troubles. The essence of troubles is that there's a false self creating them. But once you experience life and death, the false self temporarily disappears, and it will generate a new personality based on the surrounding environment. This new personality is completely different from the previous one. Just like you can't understand your past life, the false self isn't eternal; it's an illusion..."

"Snoring~~" The wife fell asleep in three seconds.

"..."

Dior wore an expression that was both funny and exasperated.

It took Dior a long time to recover from that amusing mood.

My wife is always like this; it seems that as soon as you talk to her about truth, she can fall asleep instantly.

Dior hadn't paid much attention to his wife's reactions the previous times, but this time it made him think deeply.

After all, if this happens every time, there must be a deeper reason behind it.

After thinking for a while, Dio felt that it was simply a matter of timing. In other words, even the truth must be spoken at the right moment, and only when the conditions are ripe will the other party listen.

Everyone's destiny seems to be different. For example, the refugees on the construction site naturally entered into thoughts about truth.

Mrs. Godpie and her assistant, on the other hand, were skeptical; they would listen to some of what was said, but wouldn't think deeply about it.

The wife, however, simply wouldn't listen.

Therefore, when speaking the truth to these people, we must use different methods to guide them.

Although spreading the truth is difficult, Dio will not give up.

The next morning, when the wife woke up, she found that Dior was gone again.

Her mood sombered again, a bittersweet feeling washing over her. Perhaps she had been too greedy; it was impossible for her to possess Dior entirely.

"It's alright, as long as he's with me." The lady picked up Dior's pillow, pressed it tightly against her face, and felt the faint scent on it.

During the Queen's reign, she had rejected the Forge King. But here, she loved him dearly.

Everyone is constantly collecting and repaying debts, seemingly without any end in sight.

Inside the construction site, Dio was assigned to Foreman No. 1 today. Foreman No. 2 wanted to invite Dio to work for him, but Dio politely declined.

Dior's goal is to awaken more people, so he needs to reach out to more people.

His arrival did indeed influence people once again.

The atmosphere at construction site number one has also improved, and Dior is filled with joy as he observes the subtle changes in everyone.

However, amidst this joy, a touch of worry also arose.

This slight annoyance actually made Dior pause for a moment.

"Only those who suffer long to wake up; those who live a happy life won't believe your nonsense."

Such a simple thought almost caused Dior to lose his composure.

Dio thought of Madame de Pyrenees and Madame de la Prairie.

Dior instinctively fell into deep thought.

In this dream, everyone's life situation is different.

Some people live hand to mouth, teetering on the edge of life and death. Others live in luxury, oblivious to hardship.

It seems that only those who are truly suffering yearn for awakening.

"Should I create suffering... to make more people suffer together?" Dio had this thought again.

And along with this idea came his past plan to destroy the world.

He plans to use a biotechnology company to research a virus that can determine whether a person is selfish based on various hormones in their body.

If the person is selfish, the virus will activate, destroying their brain and turning them into a zombie.

However, if someone is selfless, the virus will give them a boost, increasing their various attributes.

He had been planning this for a long time. Before coming to the world of the Moon of Lapis Lazuli, he had already prepared to carry out the plan to destroy the world. He did this in order to disturb the dream of the gods and awaken them.

It was precisely because of this plan that Dio became somewhat unscrupulous after arriving in this world. He could kill those who angered him without a second thought, and he was indifferent to the suffering of others.

On one hand, he came with the intention of dying; on the other hand, he wanted to wake everyone up.

However, this idea became illusory and flimsy as his mind awakened.

But since there's an easier way, why not just wake everyone up directly? Should he still carry out this world-destroying plan?

Although he committed the crime in a dream, was it really okay to do so? Dio was not afraid of the consequences in the dream, but he felt that creating evil causes without the consent of others and bringing suffering to others did not seem like a good choice.

……

"Dio, why are there aliens in your stories? And that extraterrestrial evil god seems to be doing good deeds, but why call him an evil god? Doesn't he want everyone to live a good life?"

Someone couldn't help but ask Dior.

At this moment, Dio was still telling the story of "The Cuckoo Knight's Hunting Chronicles," which he was doing during everyone's lunch break.

To ensure that both new and old listeners could seamlessly enjoy the story, Dior did not tell it in chronological order. He selected one of the more exciting parts to explain.

This passage contains the content of Michaela and the Ancestral Spirit King of Extraterrestrial Evil Gods creating the dream world.

The two of them wanted to influence reality by altering dreams. Their goal was to make everyone's life better.

But Michaela was far too overconfident; with his demigod abilities, he was simply incapable of accomplishing this task. Even with the assistance of an extraterrestrial evil god, it wouldn't have been enough.

This story is interesting, but what people don't understand is why the alien is called an extraterrestrial evil god? Everyone thinks the Ancestral King is a benevolent being.

"Because he has trapped everyone in a dream, and the essence of each of us is actually great, a creator god. But it is precisely because of his sealing that each of us is divided and lost in a false self," Dio replied.

"..." Everyone was a little confused. After thinking for a while, they said, "But if that alien succeeds and makes everyone live a good life, then we feel that it doesn't matter whether we are the creator gods or not."

"Yes! Yes! If everyone can live a good life, it doesn't really matter whether you dream or not."

"..."

Many people echoed this sentiment.

Dior understood everyone's thoughts, because before discovering their own greatness, people tend to think from the perspective of a false self.

It seems that as long as the false self is satisfied, this dream is a beautiful dream. But the reality is far from that simple.

Even if the false self is temporarily satisfied, the false self will inevitably generate new needs.
