Chapter 1039 The Fear of Powerlessness

Three hours later.

The resources obtained from the material storage point had already been sent by Li Tianran to the construction site of the Gonggong warship. This large underwater warship, comparable to the Kunlun giant ship, had extremely high requirements for materials, and ordinary steel alloys in the human world could not meet the standards at all.

"There are 4 days, 16 hours, 57 minutes, and 38 seconds left until the advent of the fifth Destruction Era!"

Late at night, Li Tianran stood on the attic of the small building, looking at the darkness in the distance. The blood-colored characters on the system interface were counting down, and his mood was surprisingly calm at this moment.

"Are you afraid of death?"

Just then, a childish voice sounded from behind Li Tianran.

Without looking, Li Tianran knew who the owner of this voice was. Besides him, only Hanhan could freely travel in this small building at this moment.

"I sensed your state of mind. It's very chaotic now, and there is a particularly prominent emotion called fear..." Hanhan stood barefoot on the floor and asked in a calm tone, "I have read your memory. You are uneasy about unlocking the second gene lock. You are worried that you will die, and you are worried that the foundation you have left behind will collapse..."

Hearing Hanhan's words, Li Tianran did not deny it, and nodded, "I am indeed afraid of death."

"Then why do you still do it?" Hanhan asked softly, "With your current strength, even if you don't complete the second evolution yourself, you can control everything. You don't have to take risks at all."

"You're wrong. Although I fear death, I fear the despair of powerlessness even more..." Li Tianran said, "I want to seize every opportunity to make myself stronger."

"Do you want to be the king of this planet?" Hanhan asked very seriously.

"To be honest, I'm not interested in domination! After so many wars and witnessing countless lives disappear before my eyes, my only wish now is to end all this as soon as possible." Li Tianran looked at the distant night sky, and many faces appeared in his mind.

Zhang Shoucheng, who died in the defense giant city, Lu Xiao, who died outside the defense line, and many pioneer warriors, as well as millions of human soldiers...

They all died in this war and lost everything.

"To be honest, my current thoughts may sound a little ridiculous to you. I'm desperately trying to become stronger, just hoping to have the overwhelming power as soon as possible to end this war and make this planet peaceful again." Li Tianran took a deep breath. He used to be unruly and arrogant, not afraid of any challenges, and advocated solving everything by violence.

But at this time, after experiencing countless wars and witnessing the demise of countless lives, although his methods have become more ruthless and brutal, his heart has quietly changed.

He was already tired of this endless war.

In this collision of two civilizations, Li Tianran gained a lot and lost a lot.

He had supreme status, but he also lost his dependent relatives.

And in the future, perhaps the friends and comrades around him may still die in battle!

"Because I don't want to endure the pain of parting again, and I don't want to watch life pass away again... so even if I fear death, I won't back down because of it." Li Tianran turned to look at Hanhan and said softly, "This is the so-called responsibility and responsibility of a man, a leader."
