Chapter 5

At this time, Han Fei suddenly turned off the live broadcast. The viewers in the live broadcast room were in an uproar, and soon someone discovered the reason: many people were urging Han Fei to stay awake, avoid the pursuit of immortality, and continue to strengthen the human race against the orc threat.

Han Fei had ruled the human race for over 40 years, holding supreme power in the Western Fantasy World. He enjoyed unmatched authority, wealth, and had countless women vying for his attention. He fathered dozens of sons, most inheriting his bloodline and becoming powerful warriors. Over the decades, Han Fei grew increasingly uncertain whether he was a modern man or the founding monarch of the Western Xia Dynasty. However, he valued his identity in the Western Fantasy World more.

Now, Han Fei sought to rejuvenate his body to maintain his grip on power. He thought of the creator god who bestowed the ruling and warrior's blood. Believing he had reached the pinnacle of strength, Han Fei aspired to become an immortal god.

Han Fei built a shrine for the God of Creation, praying devoutly every day. He used all the gold from the treasury to commission a pure gold statue of the god and constructed a shrine more luxurious than his palace, declaring the creationist religion as the state religion with himself as its most devout believer.

Despite shutting down the live broadcast, his extreme actions were known to the real-world audience through a few second-test players who had joined the human race. These ordinary players, without awakened powers, saw an opportunity as Han Fei went offline. Millions of curious viewers flocked to their live broadcasts.

Han Fei's decade-long actions became public knowledge. He had done almost nothing right, instead channeling national resources into expanding the creation temple, causing widespread hardship and starvation. Despite his god-like prestige, protests from civilians and nobles persisted. Han Fei brutally suppressed any resistance, becoming a tyrant indifferent to others' suffering. Meanwhile, the temple continued to expand, with sacrifices and pure goddesses serving the deity.

A popular game forum post titled "The Crowdfunding Method to Overthrow the Tyrant" called for like-minded individuals to overthrow Han Fei and save the Western Fantasy World. The poster, "Shang Tang," received mixed reactions, with some mocking his low status in the human race and others offering unfeasible plans.

Another forum post quickly gained attention: "My Grass, I Saw the Creator God!!" It included a high-definition game screenshot showing Han Fei in a palace with the God of Creation, prompting viewers to join the live stream of a player named "Women are Wolves." The player, a bat in the game, secretly filmed from the temple's beam, revealing an aged Han Fei with white hair and wrinkles, barely able to lift his ruling sword.

"Han Fei, what is the point of doing this?"

Chen Luo looked at Han Fei indifferently. After the epic battle, he paid little attention to the human race, believing the orcs and humans would develop peacefully for a while. He wouldn't have known about Han Fei's actions if he hadn't seen the forum by chance. Now, Han Fei's selfish desire for immortality had made him unpopular among his people. This trend could disrupt the balance, with the orcs possibly making a comeback.

Chen Luo sighed at the endless greed of mankind. Han Fei, an ordinary person in reality, began coveting more after gaining everything in the Western Fantasy World.

"It's you! Great creator, are you really here!?" Han Fei's hoarse but excited voice echoed.

Chen Luo, pitying Han Fei, asked, "Do you want to live forever?"

"Yes! Great God of creation, I have led the rise of the human race. Please grant me longevity as my deserved reward!" Han Fei's excited plea made the live broadcast audience's emotions complex. They had seen Han Fei's rise to power, leading epic wars, and becoming a hero. But now, his desperate plea for immortality shattered their admiration.

Some viewers began to understand his desire, reasoning they might feel the same after gaining such power. Others argued that Han Fei's actions had endangered his people, as the human race was still weaker than the orcs.

Chen Luo, snorting lightly, said, "A reward you deserve? You seem mistaken. I gave your race strength out of pity, to protect you. Yes, you led your people well, but you already have power, status, wealth, and more. What more do you want?"

"But this is not what I want!" Han Fei cried, stepping towards Chen Luo. He envied Chen Luo's unchanged youth after all these years and desperately declared, "Only becoming a god like you is eternal! I want to live forever!"

Chen Luo, amused, responded, "Human greed indeed has no bounds. But why should I give you eternal life?"

Han Fei, shocked and angry, insisted, "I completed your mission. You owe me!"

Chen Luo shook his head, "I gave you power and choice, not a mission. You chose to use this power for supremacy, not to break human limits and extend your life. Now you demand I fulfill your unreasonable desires?"

Han Fei, realizing his mistake, pleaded, "Great God of Creation, I was wrong. Please give me more time!"

Chen Luo replied, "The birth and death of species are natural laws. You chose power, now bear its consequences."

Han Fei, growing desperate, offered everything he had in exchange for more time to break through his limits. Chen Luo, chuckling, pointed out the absurdity of offering what originally came from the God of Creation.

Han Fei's madness reached a peak, and he roared, "Since you won't give it, I'll take it myself!" Grabbing the ruling sword, his body regained youth temporarily as he fully activated the blood of anger, surprising Chen Luo.

"It's interesting. You fully integrated the blood of anger with your genes," Chen Luo observed. "This youth will last half an hour before your genes collapse. Are you planning to die here?"

"Yes, I want to kill God!"
