Chapter 1289: Self

From the moment he learned of his identity, Zhang Heng had already considered the worst-case scenario.

Even if he was targeted by the gods, it didn’t mean that death was inevitable. Furthermore, Zhang Heng wasn’t completely isolated. According to Nara Totipp, at least the minions and fanatics of the Master of underice city would protect him, of course, they weren’t on his side. They were just making sure that the container was intact.

However, this was something that Zhang Heng could at least use. The bartender usually looked lazy and indulged in fishing, but Zhang Heng knew that she wasn’t weak. Previously, in the underground tunnel.., when Yemon Gad was about to wake up, she was the one who had sealed the giant python back.

Zhang Heng guessed that her strength was at least on par with his. Other than that, there were many other gods in the god system that the Master of underice city was in. Other than Nyala totip, who had fought Zhang Heng before, there was also his boss, Azatos, whom Nyala totip had mentioned.

However, unlike the Nordic god system, the gods in this new God system did not seem to be very united, so Zhang Heng did not really expect much help from them.

In addition, the biggest danger to him was not the hostility from the external gods, but the blood flowing in his veins.

Even though he had temporarily gotten rid of the nightmare last night, Zhang Heng knew that this was not the end. It was more like a beginning. The Master of the city under the ice had found him, the relationship between the two would only get closer and closer… Nyala totip said that this was an irreversible and unsolvable process that would continue until his soul was completely devoured.

Therefore, Zhang Heng realized that the time that had been so abundant, even to the point of overflowing, suddenly became unfriendly to him.

Previously, on the plane, Zhang Heng had been thinking about a problem.

Who exactly did his body belong to.

According to Nyala totip, the baby that the fanatics had snatched from Tibet was not a complete life because it lacked the most important soul. In a sense.., the baby was indeed a vessel.

Then, the fanatics found a way to send the baby into the city under the ice. They began to change his blood to prepare for the escape of the Master of the city under the ice. This was a whimsical plan, but it was surprisingly effective, if everything went according to plan, then the soul of the Master of the city under the ice would eventually take over the body of the baby.

However, Zhang Heng’s parents barged into this lost world just as he was about to succeed. After a series of manipulations, they created a new soul, which was him, and he took over the body.

From this perspective, perhaps he was the one who had taken over the nest of the magpie, but what was he like.

The previous rounds of dungeons had been a process for him to explore the world and gradually learn about himself. However, it was only today that Zhang Heng began to seriously consider the question of what the self was, especially when he realized that his body might be occupied by another existence, and that the blood of that thing was indeed flowing in his body, Zhang Heng would also be confused as to what the part of his body that belonged to him was.

Following this question, he naturally had the thought of whether or not he should stop resisting and be killed by those gods, or whether or not he should just kill himself, because right now, this was probably the best choice for the world, and for himself, his feelings were almost gone. Even in the face of death, he had no fear.

This allowed him to calmly think about this matter, like how much soy sauce to put in a stir-fry or what kind of weapon to use in the previous battle. He used absolute rationality to analyze the pros and cons behind this decision, finally, he made the decision that would bring him the greatest benefit.

Then, Zhang Heng was shocked to find that he had lost the reason why he had to live.

He had already forgotten what had kept him fighting all the way here. What about the world? What did the world mean to him. Kuna had once said that deep down, he still had good intentions toward the world, just like how he had saved the pregnant woman on the plane.

However, Zhang Heng knew very well that his choice to save the woman was more like a kind of inertia. Out of his previous education and moral training, what did this move mean to him, zhang Heng carefully recalled and found that he did not gain much joy after saving the people.

Just like when he realized that the plane was about to crash, the more than 30 passengers and crew on the plane were probably going to die, but he did not get angry, even though he knew that this kind of behavior was too much.

Zhang Heng knew that he would not get any answers if he continued to struggle, so he pulled open the curtains and let the sunlight shine into the room. Then, he turned on the computer and plugged in the USB drive that could not be traced. He thought for a while, after typing out an email, he clicked “Send”and went to the balcony to retrieve his dried passport and clothes.

After packing his suitcase, Zhang Heng appeared at the dock an hour later. To be on the safe side, he didn’t choose to take a plane this time. Instead, he chose to take a ship. After all, the sea was his home. If he was attacked at sea.., he could fully utilize his advanced water control ability. If he couldn’t beat him, he could dive into the deep sea.

However, his journey this time was very smooth. Half a month later, he arrived at Donigore port, a port in Northern Ireland that belonged to Donigore County.

Zhang Heng got off the ship and didn’t walk far before he saw Father Zhang, who was looking around with a Chinese sign in his hand.

He walked toward him and was greeted with a firm hug.

“You’re finally willing to come to Europe. I thought you were joking when I received your email,”father Zhang said. “And you said you lost your phone?”

“Yes,”Zhang Heng said.

“Then let’s go to the mall later to buy you a new one. Your mother didn’t come to pick you up because she had to prepare dinner.”

“Her? When did she learn how to Cook?”Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“About half a month ago, she suddenly fell in love with cooking after watching a variety show. But you know her, she’s always hot-headed. She probably won’t last long, but it doesn’t matter. Half a month’s worth of food is worth half a month’s worth of food.”Father Zhang was as open-minded as ever, as he spoke, he took the luggage from Zhang Heng and put it in the trunk.
