Ethan believed this wholeheartedly.
No matter the time, humanity’s pursuit of entertainment will never change.
He looked directly at the red-haired woman, extending an invitation to his old friend, "You can also become the creator of this world."
In his view, Old Ba had a unique advantage in films with avant-garde artistic themes.
Currently, it’s the early stage of the movie industry, where subsequent levels of special effects, editing, and so on have not yet fully developed. Movies now rely more on the quality of the original filming, and even if directors have many imaginative ideas, it’s difficult to immediately transform them into reality.
However, Old Ba’s participation can easily resolve these issues.
He can solve most of the "special effects" problems, provide cast members, and complete the creation together with the director.
"In this virtual world, the ’performance team’ possesses divine power, and you can freely define the direction of the film."
——Let Nightmare go back with you.
Bazatous immediately made a decision.
He had no reason not to join, and Nightmare was the only human who could barely hear his murmurs and even had some artistic talent, though far from Ethan’s level, it was more than sufficient for exploration.
To better complete artistic creation, he decided to bestow Nightmare with more power.
He wasn’t mistaken about the person.
Ethan was a rare enthusiast, perhaps he understood "Bazatous-style art" better than himself, because only the most passionate fans could come up with these ideas.
Ethan had once seen through his heart.
Lindong was somewhat bewildered. When she was in Ophira, she didn’t intervene in the conversation between Ethan and Anapolis. She could hardly imagine that Old Ba could be persuaded so easily; the scenarios she anticipated, like hitting the table, flipping chairs, or smashing things, did not occur. She had seen many intense diplomatic occasions where negotiations became heated, and some people would stand on the table due to excessive excitement.
The diplomacy between Ethan and Old Ba seemed a bit overly friendly, so friendly that it made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Now it seems there’s no real difference from fellow enthusiasts.
This was clearly a gathering of like-minded individuals!
This gave Lindong a touch of unease. She originally thought Ethan had deliberately come up with these topics to cater to Old Ba, but from the moment the "virtual world" topic appeared, the atmosphere was somewhat off. Ethan even considered many details of "Bazatous-style" films.
Precisely because of this, Bazatous was immediately attracted to the future depicted by Ethan.
Lindong felt that these details definitely couldn’t have been thought of by someone trying to cater and flatter.
Could it be Ethan really...
Just as he said earlier, to experience it at least once after the virtual world is unlocked?
"Teacher, every artistic creator has to face feelings of emptiness, especially when there is no one to communicate with." Ethan said, "Imagine, when you’ve completed a satisfactory work, but there’s no one to discuss and speak with, the passion for the work itself quickly cools down, and one is left to repeat this process in endless emptiness."
Every word Ethan said was powerful, leaving the red-haired woman frozen in place.
She was a puppet controlled by Bazatous’s power, a temporary avatar used for meeting friends.
Just now, every word Ethan spoke was transmitted to her ears verbatim.
These words were like heavenly music, better than all the praise and flattery from believers combined a hundredfold! For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
As a result, Bazatous’s mind fell into a brief blankness, forgetting the avatar being controlled by his will.
Heavens, Ethan really understands him!
Even the emptiness felt after completing a work was described without a single flaw!
There can only be one explanation, that Ethan too had been overwhelmed by such emotions after completing works.
"Then, what truly excites people?"
In the silence, Ethan said, "It’s seeing works created by other enthusiasts that one didn’t know about before. The unknown brings freshness, which is a continuous source of excitement."
The red-haired woman, who was previously unresponsive, finally moved, but couldn’t utter a single word.
She pointed at Ethan, nodding repeatedly.
It seemed that this was the only way to express her true inner thoughts.
Lindong had never seen Bazatous behave , and his believers likely couldn’t even imagine the "Godfather" being so excited he couldn’t speak, as in their minds, "Godfather" is the supreme ruler, humanity is far too insignificant before him, nothing that happens in this world is enough to stir his emotions.
She believed Ethan’s words came from the heart and comprehended the subtle yet strong bond between Ethan and Old Ba.
Ethan had once dazzled Bazatous with fire elements, changed history in the contaminated area, and took away his favorite believer.
For anyone else, this would be an irreconcilable vendetta. Based on her understanding of the Old Gods, they mostly have a strong sense of revenge, unable to accept being repeatedly offended by a human.
But none of this affected the bond between Ethan and Bazatous.
Because... they once had similar experiences!
Suddenly, Lindong recalled Ethan’s passionate speech:
Human imagination is far darker and more twisted than you know.
