Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 393 The Disappearing World
The book does not record the specific process of the Imperial War, and it seems that the author did not witness it with his own eyes. He only describes the impact of the Imperial War.
The destruction of the inner city, the fall of large families, the decline of policy and economic changes, etc.
Through these, people can also deeply feel the huge influence brought by the emperor, which covers millions of people.
The book does not directly record the specific process of the imperial war, but only describes the impact caused by the imperial war.

Through these, one can also directly feel the tremendous influence brought by the emperor, which invisibly affects millions of people.
After reading the Imperial War, Xu Shen searched for other information.
Every book here records a secret.
Some of them are the secret history of a certain big family, but that big family has disappeared, so this secret is of no meaning to Xu Shen.
He asked Hai Jue to help him create a few more eyeballs so that he could see around him.
Hai Jue was able to help Xu Shen shape a giant body, so it was naturally easy for him to shape a few small eyeballs. Eyeballs grew on Xu Shen's cheeks and arms, moving around, searching for these secrets.
At the same time, Kuroxue's hair extended out, replacing Xu Shen's arms, rolling out books from the bookshelf and delivering them to Xu Shen.
The secrets that had been kept for thousands of years were revealed to Xu Shen without reservation.
Xu Shen saw the information about God.
Cemetery of God's Remains.
In the forbidden land of Xuhai, entered through the Crimson Gate, a monarch once escaped from there with difficulty and left behind records. The remains of the gods are buried there, as well as dying gods and wandering void evil spirits.
Rotting cave.
Located in the Cloud City, it is filled with rotten slime, and any ordinary creature that touches it will be melted. Only the King can barely resist it.
At the deepest part of the Rotten Cave, there seems to be a hole in the world...
A monarch once went there, but never returned.
World Core Chronicles:
The edge of the world is slowly disappearing and dissolving. Based on the current rate of disappearance, in another thousand years, only the inner city area will remain in the entire world, and the rest of the wilderness and outer areas such as the bottom city will disappear.
And in 1,500 years, the entire world will disappear.
…
…
Xu Shen flipped through many secrets, and when he saw the world's core notebook, he was completely shocked.
The world is slowly disappearing?!
In another 1,500 years, the entire world will cease to exist?
In the notebook, the edge of the world is zero degrees black space.
It was pitch black there. Even the king could only barely stay in the zero-degree black sky. The zero-degree black sky was endless, as if outside the world, in the endless and distant space, there was zero-degree black sky.
The whole world is like an island in the ocean.
And at this moment, the island is slowly disappearing.
Xu Shen suddenly remembered what the original owner of the prison said when he left, that they only needed the emperor.
Apart from that, everything else is meaningless.
Is it because when the world disappears, if there is no emperor, all living things will be destroyed?
Xu Shen gathered the rest of his eyes, called the original owner who was playing chess with the old man outside, and said in a deep voice: "Is it true that the world is disappearing?"
The original owner was stunned and couldn't help but look at the old man.
The old man looked embarrassed and said quickly: "Sir, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
"never mind."
The original owner shook his head slightly, and then said to Xu Shen: "This is a secret, don't reveal it casually, it will cause a riot."
"It's okay. I can erase their memories."
Xu Shen called out Xia Tong and asked him to erase the memory of the old man and the girl next to him.
"The ability is memory?" The original owner looked at the transparent Xia Tong. Under his demigod's mental power, Xia Tong's figure was invisible. "You have so many pendants on you."
Xia Tong felt a little embarrassed I didn't want to either...
However, now that Xu Shen has become a monarch, being a monarch's pendant doesn't seem so bad.
He was originally planning and looking for an opportunity to get away from Xu Shen, but now he feels that this kind of life is not bad.
Following Xu Shen, he can see many things that he dare not even imagine.
"It's fine if they erase the memory, as long as they don't spread it."
The original owner did not intend to let his old friend's memory be invaded. He pulled Xu Shen into Qianyin Pavilion, closed the door and said, "There is actually no point in spreading this kind of thing. Except for our king, other ordinary people don't care. Many people even hope that the world will be destroyed sooner. After all, most people don't live happily and happily."
"Since you know, why don't you improve the situation?" Xu Shen asked.
"Didn't I say that the world will be destroyed sooner or later? What does their happiness and pain have to do with me? Do you think those in high positions don't know the suffering of those below? So what? In this world, someone has to suffer before someone else can enjoy happiness, just like a fruit farmer and a barn owner. The barn owner wants to eat apples, so the fruit farmer has to plant and pick them."
"You know fruit farmers work very hard, but if you want to eat fruit, do you have to grow and pick it yourself?"
The original owner’s words left Xu Shen speechless.
Is this the root cause of all suffering?
If someone wants to enjoy, someone else must suffer.
What a simple and plain truth.
But it is like a curse, running through the entire history.
"The world is disappearing. You should have seen it. The reason is probably because it is corroded by the zero-degree black space. But some people also say that the world is destroying itself and vaporizing."
The original owner said: "Of course there is another way of saying it, which is that the world is sinking into a deeper level , just like the Xu Realm, and the world is sinking to a level that we cannot imagine and understand."
"But this statement is just speculation and nonsense, because if the world really wants to sink to another level, it will not disappear bit by bit, nor will it be a process from the outer edge to the center, but it will sink completely."
"The reason why the prison master chose to give up his authority so readily was also because of this."
The original owner said: "In 1500, the world will completely disappear. Currently, no method has been found to alleviate and maintain it. There is only one way to survive, either to hide in the sea of ruins, or to become a god!"
"Although no one knows what kind of power God has, it is at least stronger than us. God should be omnipotent and have no problem protecting himself. Even if the world is destroyed, God will still exist."
Xu Shen understood that the goal of the monarchs in the parliament was to become gods and transcend the world.
Survive without relying on the world.
No wonder the monarchs did not care about the conflicts and disputes between the inner and outer cities. People at different levels see and pursue different things.
“So, I advise not to spend too much time on the useless people around you, because they will eventually perish.”
The original owner said: "Either you die of old age or you encounter misfortune or are ambushed. Even if you become a king, you will die in the adventure. If you survive to the end, you will not be able to escape the destruction of the world."
"The Lords no longer have the heart to pursue becoming gods, so they desperately enjoy the wealth and power of the world, but for me, my only goal is to become a god."
"Without becoming a god, everything will be meaningless."
Xu Shen remained silent.
He had just learned the news and was still digesting it.
1500 years may seem like a long time to ordinary people, but to a king, it is a lifetime that has not yet ended.
Unless the king takes risks and dies in danger, he can live for thousands of years if he lives a normal life.
Xu Shen has been trapped in the mental cage for two thousand years and knows very well that time flies.
"In other words, becoming a god is the only way out..."
Xu Shen said in a low voice: "But there is no way to become a god at present. Maybe we should find a way to collect all the spiritual secret crystals and give it a try?"
The original owner nodded: "That's true, but the problem is, after all the spiritual secrets are collected, who will try it?"
"Once you succeed, you will become a god. Who would be willing to give up such an opportunity?"
Xu Shen was silent.
Indeed, it is very likely that several monarchs will use all their resources and strength to gather the spiritual secrets, but it will definitely be a fierce battle in the end.
Perhaps no one will survive this fierce battle.
"Gathering the spiritual secrets is the ultimate means. After all, this is the recognized known way at present." The original owner said: "This is also the reason why our council has not made great efforts to search, because the public information is known to everyone, which is actually the most difficult."
"The Master of Fate said before that this method should be kept as a backup option until the end. Otherwise, if everyone gathers in advance and a fierce battle breaks out, it will only accelerate the destruction."
Xu Shen nodded slightly, and then his heart moved.
Maeve must know the way to become a god.
Or, just ask her directly?
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly. At this point, he no longer hesitated.
It's time to confront Maeve.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen said to the original owner: "Something happened at home, I'll leave first."
"What?" The original owner was stunned. They were just chatting and then just left?
He did not try to persuade Xu Shen to stay, and said to him, "Would you like to have a dinner party tonight? I'll take you to the inner city for a stroll."
"No."
Xu Shen left immediately.
When he was going down the mountain, he met the king who was guarding the mountainside again. When he saw Xu Shen, he did not come forward to stop him. Instead, he looked at him and said hurriedly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"You know me?"
Xu Shen was slightly surprised.
"Lord Wan just informed us that the monarch has been replaced and we have your information." The king looked awed. He was surprised to see the prison master coming down the mountain. He didn't expect that he had been replaced.
"I see."
Unexpectedly, Master Wan acted so quickly. Before he officially took office, he had already conveyed the news in advance.
After going down the mountain, Xu Shen went straight back to Guangming City.
Thinking that he was about to have a conversation with Maeve across a level, Xu Shen dismissed Hai Jue, Xia Tong and the others, leaving himself alone.
Afterwards, in the darkness of night, Xu Shen came to the top of an empty tall building.
Maeve followed closely and sat next to Xu Shen.
But the breeze only made Xu Shen's hair and clothes rustle, while Maeve, who was laughing and playing beside him, did not move her skirt at all.
Apparently there was no wind in the world she lived in.
"You must know how to become a god, right?" Xu Shen whispered to himself, staring at the tall building in front of him.
Maeve came closer and chuckled, "Are you asking me, do you finally...want to come to my world?"
