Just as the Villager King had said, when he had previously been trapped in the Void within the Villager Kingdom, he had already lost all hope.
When he finally realized that the fate of the Villager Kingdom was only because he had preset Xu Yuan as his imaginary enemy, he had in fact already given up the thought of continuing to live.
But at that moment, Entity 303 appeared.
Entity 303 not only saved the Villager King's life, but also made the Villager King begin to feel hope for the future once again.
Even though he had only just been rescued by Entity 303 at the time, the Wither Slime had already appeared.
Even though the Nether was suffering an invasion by the Void, war still raged everywhere.
Yet the Villager King was still filled with hope for the future.
Although what they had to face were powerful enemies from the Void, no one showed even the slightest sign of retreat.
Because all of them had cast aside hatred and united together.
And the ones who united all living beings and protected all living beings were precisely those "Lords."
And what those "Lords" symbolized was actually Xu Yuan.
Therefore, even though the Villager King had never had any direct interaction with Xu Yuan, he still, like those "Lords," respectfully addressed Xu Yuan as My King.
One must know that the Villager King himself was a ruler. Deep in his heart, he had a profound understanding of and reverence for the meaning carried by the title of king.
In his view, throughout the entire game world, only Xu Yuan truly deserved to be called a king.
He originally possessed the strength to rule the entire world, yet he had never harbored such ambition.
He not only cherished and respected the people around him, but extended that feeling to every single life. Clearly, this was exactly the awareness and realm a true king should possess.
It was precisely because of this that the Villager King made such a decision at this moment.
Did he not want to continue living? Of course not, he desperately longed to keep living.
He wanted to make up for the mistakes he had once made and rebuild the Villager Kingdom.
He yearned to witness Xu Yuan defeat the Void and to see what the future of this world would look like.
However, he knew very well that if he chose to survive, then this world might have no future at all.
As a king, when facing such matters of great right and wrong, the Villager King had the courage to shoulder everything.
If sacrificing himself could make this world become what all living beings hoped for, the Villager King was willing to offer up his own life.
But his willingness did not mean other living beings would also be willing. The Villager King clearly understood that everyone would certainly find it hard to accept such a reality, yet he still wanted to try his best to persuade them.
At this moment, seeing everyone remain silent, just as the Villager King was about to continue analyzing the pros and cons for them, he saw a zombie step forward.
"Roar roar… roar roar roar roar roar roar… (I'm willing… If my life can be exchanged for My King's victory, then I'm willing…)"
Hearing the zombie's words, a Vindicator beside him also stepped forward.
"Sakurasli… Sarisruvakusamita (Actually, from the moment we were captured, we already had no chance of surviving. Even if we don't agree with the Villager King's method and cling to life, once the Void uses us to achieve its own goals, do you really think it will keep its promise and let us go?)"
After hearing the Vindicator's words, Lord Sheep beside them couldn't help but speak up with a series of "baa baa baa."
"Baa baa baa… baa baa baa baa baa baa baa… (Actually, we're all doomed anyway, it's only a matter of time. But we can decide whether this life of ours is used by the Void to deal with My King, or used by ourselves to deal with the Void!)"
As soon as Lord Sheep finished speaking, more and more living beings began to voice their agreement.
"Don't we actually have no regrets left? The future of this world, we've not only seen it, we've even experienced it, haven't we?!"
"Clack clack clack! Clack clack clack clack clack clack! (That's right! The future is exactly like how we are now, everyone casting aside hatred and gathering together, everyone of one heart!)"
"Gah gah gah! Gah gah gah gah gah gah gah (This is our chance to make a name for ourselves! In the future, everyone will be able to call out our names and remember us… right?!)"
"Saliku sali sarami rusarita… (The days of casting aside hatred and getting along with everyone were truly happy. For me, that's already enough, so I want to let this happiness continue and allow more living beings to experience it…)"
———
At this moment, all kinds of different languages rang out across the area. They were all expressing their true feelings, like final words before death.
Everyone wore an expression of firm resolve, without the slightest hint of retreat.
These voices intertwined together, forming a powerful force that could not help but move one deeply.
The Villager King widened his eyes, staring at everything before him in utter shock.
He had originally thought that persuading everyone to accept this plan would be an extremely arduous struggle.
However, the situation now was completely beyond his expectations.
Ever since he came up with this solution, he had been troubled by how he could possibly persuade everyone.
After all, this plan required everyone to willingly sacrifice themselves in order to truly help Xu Yuan escape from his predicament.
The Villager King knew very well that convincing everyone to sacrifice themselves was practically an impossible task.
Even if everyone already knew they were definitely not going to survive, they would still cling to a sense of luck.
Therefore, persuading them to actively give up their lives was almost an impossible mission.
But now, all doubts and worries had completely vanished.
Although everyone had hesitated at first, in the end they still made their choice.
Their choice was not for themselves, but for this world, for all the living beings within this world.
At this moment, everyone present was great, and all were worthy of being remembered.
They used their own blood to nurture a new world.
Just as the Villager King and the others decided to give up their lives, the group of players who had been "rejected" by the portal were also giving it their all.
After the space created by D sucked in the Villager King and the others, the space's portal disappeared.
After reviving, the players who had been left behind used every possible means to search for the space that was imprisoning the Villager King and the others.
Through the six degrees of separation, these players found quite a few heavy hitters to join their "rescue plan."
Once the "rescue plan" began, Zero Point Company was repeatedly hacked, and those hackers were basically all using stolen administrator accounts to enter the game and attempt to use administrator privileges.
At the same time, Rookie was bombarded by waves of text messages and phone calls.
