Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Chapter 625 - 625: A Fated Kindred Spirit!!

After coming up with the idea of creating the Trial Grounds, the true HIM seemed to suddenly reach enlightenment. His whole outlook became much clearer.He no longer spent every day and night searching for the truth of the world or pursuing power. Instead, he devoted all his attention to planning the Trial Grounds.

At the same time, he continued keeping an eye on Notch's movements.

Just as Xu Yuan had predicted earlier, whenever the true HIM noticed Notch beginning to interfere with the game world, he would speed up his plans.

When the first Divine Domain Tournament was held, the true HIM brought Tyrant HIM into this game world.

Not long afterward, Xu Yuan entered the gray space where Tyrant HIM was located.

During this period, the true HIM underwent another major change in mindset. He stopped obsessing over the role of "savior" and stopped obsessing over obtaining great power. He began focusing more on the outcome rather than the person who brought about that outcome.

At that point, the Trial Grounds had already begun to take shape, and he had established its overall direction.

So during the second Divine Domain Tournament, the true HIM brought Villager Trouble HIM into this world.

After gathering three HIMs (not really), the Trial Grounds officially began.

The scenes within the Trial Grounds flashed by as if the fast-forward button had been pressed. Before long, the images stopped at the "settlement phase" of the Trial Grounds.

The scenes during the settlement phase were mainly centered around the true HIM, followed by the moment he handed his power over to Xu Yuan.

Then the scene changed again. Xu Yuan completed the trial, stepped out of the Trial Grounds, and arrived in the outside world.

However, the confrontation outside the Trial Grounds, which was significant enough to determine the fate of the entire world, was glossed over with only a few simple scenes and almost no detailed description.

Thus, the entire story that Xu Yuan had written about what happened after the living beings of the former world fell into the Void was fully presented before them.

All the information contained in this story had been obtained by Xu Yuan after connecting to the Inner World.

Not only did this information give Xu Yuan a deeper understanding of the true HIM, but it also made him admire him even more.

Looking closely at the story's overall structure, it was easy to see that Xu Yuan had carefully planned and arranged its contents.

He skillfully simplified his own role and screen time in the story, focusing almost all of the narrative on the true HIM.

It could be said that the entire story written by Xu Yuan was essentially the true HIM's personal heroic epic.

But this was not intentional on Xu Yuan's part.

Deep down, he genuinely believed that it was the true HIM who had saved this world.

To Xu Yuan, the true HIM he had come to know was exactly the HIM he had always imagined.

Whether it was Tyrant HIM, Villager Trouble HIM, or the various versions of HIM he had seen in fan works before, each version had their own unique strengths, areas of expertise, and personal charm.

Yet despite all that, Xu Yuan still felt that none of them were the perfect HIM in his mind.

Even Xu Yuan himself could not clearly explain what was missing from them. He only felt that every version of HIM lacked something, preventing them from fully matching the image he held in his heart.

In fact, by the time the Trial Grounds ended, the true HIM had already become very close to Xu Yuan's ideal version of HIM.

In Xu Yuan's view, the only thing that could really be criticized about the true HIM was his interference in Xu Yuan's life.

Of course, Xu Yuan himself did not care about that.

To him, it had been an exciting life. If the true HIM had not brought him here, he would still be living that boring old life and might not even have been able to keep going someday.

Because of this, Xu Yuan had sincerely thanked the true HIM back then.

But regardless of how the person involved felt, the true HIM had indeed changed Xu Yuan's life path by force and had never asked for Xu Yuan's opinion.

Regardless of the result, that was still forcing a deal on someone.

This was the only thing in the true HIM's entire life that could truly be criticized, and he himself was surely aware of it.

The true HIM knew the truth.

He knew it was the Inner World that had brought Xu Yuan here.

But when Xu Yuan asked about it, the true HIM did not shift responsibility.

At that time, Xu Yuan already knew about the Inner World, yet the true HIM still did not tell him the truth and instead took all the responsibility upon himself.

It was precisely because of this that the true HIM became the incomparable, perfect HIM in Xu Yuan's heart.

When faced with a destined fact, he not only refused to avoid responsibility, but willingly accepted it. He had also always been helping Xu Yuan find a way home.

When faced with the temptation of great power, he still held onto his original principles and never trampled over a new world just to revive his own homeland.

Perhaps he was not the strongest existence standing at the peak of power.

Perhaps there were many things he had not done perfectly.

Perhaps he was not the terrifying Demon King that made people tremble in fear...

But none of that mattered.

No matter how others saw him, to Xu Yuan, the true HIM was the irreplaceable and flawless Herobrine.

That was why Xu Yuan had instinctively reduced his own role throughout the story and devoted all the attention to the true HIM.

It could only be said that Xu Yuan and the true HIM truly were fated kindred spirits.

Earlier, the true HIM wanted to elevate Xu Yuan, so he paved the way for him inside the Trial Grounds and allowed Xu Yuan to appear there using his own name and appearance. Without a doubt, that was helping Xu Yuan.

And Xu Yuan returned the favor.

After completing the trial, he could have appeared in his own form, but he did not want to take the credit. He continued using the true HIM's appearance as he brought everything to an end.

From beginning to end, the two of them had always been moving toward each other.

Both had seen the other's efforts.

Both had witnessed the other's growth.

Both believed that it was the other person who had saved the world.

Both wanted to elevate the other.

At this point, who actually saved the world and who was more important no longer mattered to either of them.

What mattered was that these two close friends, who had only met a few times, could finally meet again.
