Liu Yang was so shocked that he nearly fainted at the sight of the other side.
If he didn't know that the other side was a person, he would think he was in front of a mirror.
Clothes aside, the faces were exactly the same.
There wasn't a single difference between the two.
"How is this possible??" After recovering from the shock, he asked.
"There are secrets out of this world that cannot be understood by ordinary people. This is one of them."
"..." The other Liu Yang's words had many meanings, but it wasn't something the current Liu Yang would have to worry about.
"How did I get here, could you tell me why you created the system and this world? And why do I have Level Lock? Is this something made by you?"
"Take it easy, I will answer these three questions. But you can still ask one more question after that, what you're going to do with these answers is something you need to think about for yourself"
"..."
"First, the reason I created this system is that I was bored after living for over a thousand years."
"!!!!!!!!!!" The current Liu Yang couldn't believe what he was hearing.
(Live for a thousand years? How could anyone live for so long? Bored? Create a system? Magic and creatures were just mythological beings, there was no such thing in the world before portals. So he created these things? Because of him, several billion people died, but he doesn't even seem remorseful about it.) Liu Yang's mind was a big mess because what he was hearing was so insane.
It even looked like something invented by a child.
But it wasn't, that was the reality.
"Second, the reason you have the Level Lock is because I chose it. I thought you would be born early, but I was wrong. It took over thirty years for that to happen. I thought you would never be born, but it finally happened. Third, I created the Level Lock just to see how you would grow like the other so-called Hunters."
"..." Liu Yang understood some things, but there were still many doubts.
However, he couldn't ask too many questions because there were only two more. He had to think carefully before asking.
Thinking for a while, he formulated a question.
"My fourth question, what is this new world you created?"
"A game. This world is just a game." The answer was short and direct.
"..." The answer was within Liu Yang's expectations because in the games he played he also had the system and quests.
But why was he different? Was he the main character of the game? Was that why the other Liu Yang chose him? The current Liu Yang was ninety percent sure about this.
Every game needs the main character. No matter what.
"That's my last question. Who are these people?" He pointed to the photos.
"..." A nostalgic, loving, and sad look appeared on the other Liu Yang's face.
"They are my family in a dangerous continent, but they all died and I couldn't follow them because I was forced to live a new life in this world. And those pictures over there are of my women in this world, but I didn't have kids because it could be troublesome." The other Liu Yang had various feelings when talking about this matter.
All his lovers and children were already dead, only the descendants still remain, but there were none of them in this world, only in the other world.
"..." The current Liu Yang only kept silent because he understood a little about what was going on.
Katharin was in a similar situation a few years ago, but she was able to find light in her life again.
The other Liu Yang was very different. He lived so long that there was no reason to go on living.
"As I've answered your questions. Our conversation is over. What you do with these answers is up to you. That was our first and last meeting. I'm already dead and that's just a lingering part of me. Now, I can finally follow my wives into the other world." The other Liu Yang closed his eyes in relief before waving his hand.
That little world began to disappear as if it were being erased by an eraser.
Liu Yang was expelled from this world.
Looking towards the portal, he could only see it slowly closing until it disappeared.
This was the first portal that was closed. No other was closed even after more than forty years.
"..." Liu Yang had mixed feelings about what happened inside the log cabin.
The feeling that his entire life was planned by someone else was really bad. But from now on, he will live his own life.
The other Liu Yang had finally disappeared and the current Liu Yang could do things of his own accord without any interference.
…
A few years later…
The world changed a lot after Liu Yang had that conversation with the other Liu Yang.
More portals were opened until at least a hundred existed in each of the countries.
The Hunters had to fight to their last strength to ensure their survival.
More and more people died every day and the population was reduced again.
Over these years, the new races have helped to deal with the portals because they too have become inhabitants of this new world and the creatures that come out of the portals also attack them.
Under the command of Liu Yang's women and friends, the new races banded together to deal with the portals.
This caused great conflict with humans because it was the same as having a competition between them.
So many more deaths happened.
Liu Yang didn't show himself once after so many years, but everyone felt that he would show up soon.
…
At the headquarters of the World Hunters Association…
Liu Yang arranged an emergency meeting with all world leaders and reporters for everyone to attend.
In the conference room, several dozen reporters were already ready and filming the speaker's location.
Liu Yang appeared on stage wearing a suit and formal wear. This was one of the few times he did this.
Reporters snap photos and focus on him as they comment on his possible statement.
"Hello, as you all know, my name is Liu Yang and I'm here to say something important."
Everyone was curious to know what he was going to say.
"As of today, the territories of foreign races are mine and under my jurisdiction. Anyone who causes trouble will be punished." His tone was casual as he showed a relaxed expression, but the feeling was that everyone was facing some arrogant ruler.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Reporters were the first to get up to focus and snap more pictures.
Commentators were screaming on the news. Because the ad was something outrageous and insane.
A huge uproar broke out in the conference room as country representatives shouted at Liu Yang.
The formerly occupied territories belong to these countries but were lost after the wars. That humiliation was still on their minds and would not be easily forgotten.
"Shut up." Just one word was enough to suppress everyone on the spot. They feel like a mountain is pressing down on the entire audience.
"!!!!!!!!" The power shown by Liu Yang was something far beyond a normal Hunter, even not using the Hunter Drive's power.
What happened these last few years?
"I can do this because I've become strong enough to do it. Look at this screen."
A large screen was projected in front of everyone.
The images that appeared were from six different locations. These were the territories occupied by the six new races that emerged.
Waving his hand and turned a few times.
A shocking scene was seen in each of these locations.
The territories of the six races fly toward the skies as if something is levitating them. Each flew towards the sea, they all came together at a single point in the middle of the ocean.
There it became a new small continent.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The world couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was like a dream and nightmare.
"I will repeat. Anyone who causes trouble in my territory will be punished. I am the ruler of that territory"
That was the answer Liu Yang got after these last few years disappeared.
His women and friends became the great leaders of these races, so he had to protect them.
The only way to do that was to become strong enough to stop problems from happening.
Thus, he chose to become stronger than anyone else.
Now, he has become such a powerful Hunter that no other will reach for the next hundred years.
Liu Yang is the most powerful Level 0 Hunter in the world.
The Hunter who couldn't level managed to become stronger than any Hunter who could level.
The end.
