At this moment, Feng Zun suddenly smiled and said,
"Luo Xue, I want to ask you a question?"
"Speak all you know, Master Fengzun."
Luo Xue looked at Feng Zun seriously, but found that there seemed to be some ill intention hidden in the other's smile.
"Who do you like more, Su Yiyao or Ling Ling?" Feng Zun asked leisurely, with a sly smile on his face. "If they both fell into Guixu and you only had time to save one, who would you choose to save?"
"... ..."
Luo Xue was choked for a moment. She wanted to say don't joke like that, but she started to think about it inexplicably in her heart.
Is it Xiaoyao
Or a Lingling
Between them... who is more important to me
I don't know how many breaths or how long it took, after a terrifyingly long time, Feng Zun waved his hand and said,
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Go talk to them. Maybe... there won't be another chance in the future."
Facing the battle of gods, can you survive... This is not a multiple-choice question, but an absolute dead end with slim hope.
Chapter 282 The Final Battle
Similar loneliness and uncertain future.
Days like this seemed to have lasted for a very long time, so long that he had forgotten the time.
The years of the great world seem so short in this period of time, but they will never be forgotten in eternity.
He is an emperor, a hero, a monk, and a father.
The mission he was born with made him feel suffocated, until today, when he finally saw the dawn of relief.
Emperor Dugu woke up slowly. He had completely lost his human appearance. His tattered flesh wings covered with corroded and bloody flesh were stuck to his back. His bloated body was covered with pus-filled tumors and bulging eyeballs. His hideous mouthparts drooped and his twisted limbs were embedded in clumps of flesh and blood.
This is what he looks like now, with the power bestowed by the supreme gods.
Most of his people had already turned into this appearance before coming to the great world, and now he has finally become the same.
Fortunately, all the research over the years was not in vain. At least 30% of the time, Emperor Dugu was able to maintain a clear mind, write letters to his little daughter, and plan the army of evil demons from outside the domain... and not become a complete disaster of riot.
Emperor Dugu closed his eyes, and in his mind, a timid black-haired woman slowly emerged. Her frightened look seemed unfamiliar to Emperor Dugu at the time, but her aura was very familiar.
It was not until that time that Emperor Dugu knew that there were actually two "Luo Xue". The "Luo Xue" who was good at formations was her senior sister, and the real Luo Xue, Xue'er's master, had fallen with Wei in the depths of Guixu.
Unfortunately, before Emperor Dugu could ask more questions, the black-haired woman showed a relaxed expression, disappeared in an instant, and her whereabouts were unknown.
However, Emperor Dugu didn't care, and he didn't intend to take the other person's life. Instead, he felt relieved to be able to escape from danger in this way.
"It's almost over. Soon... it will be over."
Emperor Dugu opened his eyes again, and everything in his vision seemed to be covered with a thick gray fog, and only living creatures could be stained with an alluring blood-red color.
Contrary to the expectations of the remnants of the Great Thousand World, the current Emperor Dugu has not actually been promoted to the Great Emperor. His current aura is only at the Quasi-Emperor level.
Including other evil monsters and demons from outside the domain that have lost consciousness and vitality, none of them can set foot on the level of the Great Emperor, and the highest can only linger at the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Because in today's broken world, becoming an emperor will attract the attention of gods, and "doomsday" will come.
Emperor Dugu did not choose to take this step before he was ready to face the gods directly.
—Therefore, Emperor Dugu is not a minion of Doomsday. On the contrary, he regards Doomsday as a great enemy, and it has been like this since the very beginning.
There are a total of one million monks and thirty million mortals on the Xuan Gu Boat that crashed into another world because of a disaster from the gods. There are at least thirty thousand small worlds in the complete Xuan Gu Boat, which is large enough to accommodate one million people. Some of them are also residences for hermit monks.
However, there were only 6,000 cultivators who successfully returned. No mortal could withstand the pressure of crossing the world bubble barrier. After all, there was no Xuan Bone Boat to protect them when they crossed the world bubble barrier for the second time.
Among these six thousand cultivators, nearly half died in Guixu, and the rest reproduced and thrived during the long journey to Guixu, until they found the five dead immortal boats that had been destroyed in the divine disaster through some remaining signals.
All eight immortal ships were destroyed by "Doomsday". The people of the immortal ships who lost their homeland hated this terrifying god and vowed to make the god pay the price even if it meant burning the whole world.
Under the guidance of such obsession... the first evil demon from outside the domain appeared among the people of Xianzhou.
The evil demons from outside the domain were not creatures of this world from the very beginning, but rather strange existences from another world, suspected to be the filthy power of another god.
The evil demons from outside the domain quickly spread, and even the five destroyed Deathly Silence Immortal Boats were contaminated by this force and gradually became alive.
Just when the people of Xianzhou thought they were about to face another divine disaster in despair, they were surprised to find that the power from the alien gods could actually stop the power of doomsday.
The power of doomsday contained in the Deathly Silence Immortal Boat was completely expelled by the evil power from outside the domain. Another god appeared in this world in this way to fight against the power from doomsday.
The people of the Immortal Boats saw hope for revenge, but it was not enough. Just five fallen Immortal Boats were not enough.
More power is needed to throw itself into the arms of the unknown god. Only by doing so can one confront a complete god and truly exact revenge.
Therefore, the people of Xianzhou set their sights on the broken world.
In the eyes of Dugu Di and other Xianzhou people, their hometown is Xianzhou, not this broken world.
If they can use this broken world as a price to avenge their dead clansmen and immortal boat, they will do it without hesitation.
Therefore, even though Emperor Dugu spent the best moments of his life in the world, he never let go of the responsibility given to him by his clan... Even though almost all of his clansmen had turned into evil demons from outside the domain and paid all the price to kill the gods.
Now, these heavy missions are about to come to an end. Emperor Dugu controls the evil demons from outside the domain to corrode almost all the fragments of the universe. Only a few world fragments are deliberately skipped by him. These are the seeds left by his last compassion.
"Dear... Cher..."
Emperor Dugu was lying on the filthy ground, with several tentacles carefully wrapped around an exquisite brush. He dipped the brush in the ink that he had finally obtained and wrote on a piece of letter paper in the manner of painting.
This was his last letter to his youngest daughter.
Emperor Dugu actually had several children, but most of them were the result of political marriages. They had been in the hands of certain forces since they were born. Only Dugu Xue was his only child, so he doted on her the most.
Even though he bears a deep blood feud with the Xianzhou clan, Emperor Dugu still cherishes this rare family relationship. As a father, he has always felt sorry for his daughter, but as a man who bears everything, he has to do so.
When he finally finished writing the letter, the sky had darkened and night was about to fall on this fragment of the world.
Emperor Dugu knew very well that this world would also usher in a long eternal night.
Because today he will be promoted to emperor and face the gods directly.
The final despair... is coming.
Emperor Dugu closed the envelope and carefully wiped off all the foreign evil power on the envelope. Then he used his magical powers to send it to the vicinity of the world fragment where the remnants of the universe were located.
He knew that Feng Zun and Huang Zun would find the letter as usual and then deliver it to Xue'er.
It is enough to send you his final thoughts and comfort.
But at the last moment before sending the letter, a strange yet familiar breath suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When Dugu Di sensed this breath, his body stiffened instantly, and then his uncontrollable instinctive reaction made him tremble all over.
"... who?"
Emperor Dugu was shocked. This aura... was not that strong, and his trembling was not due to fear.
His shock came from the fact that he discovered that the emotions that surged in his heart were joy and sadness... completely opposite emotions, but appearing harmoniously together.
Not long after, a snow-white shuttle appeared out of thin air, broke away from Guixu, and slowly landed on the filthy ground.
People were worried that the pure white boat might be contaminated by the blood stains that were everywhere in the world, but unexpectedly, almost all the blood stains consciously avoided the shuttle.
When seeing the appearance of this shuttle, Emperor Dugu first showed a puzzled expression, because he had never seen it before, but soon Emperor Dugu's pupils began to tremble uncontrollably, and all his bulging eyeballs were fixed on the shuttle.
"Yes... Mysterious Bone Boat..."
That’s right, it’s the Xuan Bone Boat!
He would never make a mistake. The memory engraved deep in his blood was his hometown that he longed for.
Emperor Dugu was born after the Xianzhou people returned to the Great Thousand World. As a young child, he had seen his parents express longing and remembrance for their hometown countless times, and had felt the breath of the remains of his hometown countless times.
But no scent from any of the remains of my hometown could compare to the snow-white shuttle before my eyes.
"... Long time no see, Emperor Dugu."
A petite silver figure appeared above the Xuan Bone Boat, and Luo Xue looked at Dugu Di with complicated eyes.
The reason why she recognized Dugu Di was not because she was familiar with him, but because the letter in Dugu Di's hand carried a hint of Dugu Xue's scent.
Unexpectedly, the once majestic Emperor Dugu has become so ugly today.
What was the price he paid for
To conquer the world
But she could only see deep sadness and reluctance in Emperor Dugu.
Dugudi looked at Luo Xue for a long time without saying anything. After a long time, a hoarse and low voice sounded,
"It's been a long time since we last met, Master Luo. I'm glad to see that you are not dead."
If you ignore the sound of his voice that sounded like metal rubbing against the ground, his tone was exactly the same as when Luo Xue last met him, majestic yet a little dull.
"But I'm not happy to see you like this," Luo Xue said softly, "Little Dugu is very sad because of you. You are her most beloved father."
Emperor Dugu was silent for a while, shook his head, and said,
"It shouldn't be this way. This is the fact. The responsibility I bear... cannot be changed."
His gaze was cast towards the Xuangu Boat below Luo Xue, and instantly became more serious.
"Master Luo, may I ask if you have dismantled the Mysterious Bone Boat in the other world to find a way back?"
The first thought Dugu Di had when he saw the Black Bone Boat was disbelief, because he knew that the Black Bone Boat was far away in another world, and the people of the Immortal Boat had no choice but to give it up because they were unable to bring it back intact.
But now... the Black Bone Boat appeared in front of him in another form, and the one driving it was Luo Xue who died in Guixu many years ago. The key point... Dugu Di couldn't help but think about it.
"That's right."
Luo Xue nodded and did not deny it.
"... ..."
Emperor Dugu did not speak, but the atmosphere around him suddenly became a little colder.
"It was once our hometown." Dugudi said slowly, all the terrifying eyes were focused on Luo Xue, "You destroyed it."
"If it is really your hometown... can't you see it?" Luo Xue sighed, "The Black Bone Boat... if anyone can dismantle it at will, will it still be your hometown for your voyage?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dugu's pupils shrank slightly and he was suddenly startled.
Yes, if it was the complete Xuan Gu Boat back then, outsiders would not be able to dismantle it, let alone enter its core. If it was destroyed by violence, it would lead to a strong counterattack. If it was force irresistible, it would immediately initiate self-destruction.
There is only one possibility for the Black Bone Boat to be disassembled into such a small shuttle.
"Xuan Gu Zhou... agrees with your approach?" Emperor Dugu asked tremblingly.
"That's not accurate. Actually... I am the Mysterious Bone Boat." Luo Xue slowly landed on the ground, holding the Mysterious Bone Boat with her right hand. "I am... the Mysterious Bone Fairy."
The aura emitted by the Black Bone Boat almost merged with her, a height that even the master of the Black Bone Boat back then could not reach.
Emperor Dugu quickly confirmed that Luo Xue was not lying, and he found with heavy heart that this was an indisputable fact.
After a long silence, he smiled bitterly and whispered the same words as Luo Huaxin and the others.
"... You shouldn't have come back, because we already... have no way out."
All the yearnings that were once worth cherishing disappeared in this scene. Even if I didn't want to, I had to make this choice.
"If you hadn't come back, we would have only one immortal boat left, leaving us with a glimmer of hope..."
Dugudi raised his head, his eyes filled with a heroic determination to die, "But now, I have to 'kill' our 'mother' with my own hands."
If the powerful force of the Black Bone Boat is eroded by the evil demons from outside the domain, it will be the most critical step in defeating the gods. The Dead Silence Immortal Boat, which has long become an empty shell, shows a desperate and terrifying power after being infected... What's more, this is a "living" immortal boat
When Luo Xue appeared here with the Xuan Bone Boat, Emperor Dugu already knew the final outcome, regardless of whether Luo Xue was really a Xuan Bone Immortal.
In order to kill the gods, the Xianzhou people have paid all the prices, and they can no longer turn back.
As soon as he finished speaking, five giant living immortal boats slowly appeared from Guixu within this piece of world fragment. Their twisted and rotten wings almost covered the sky, and their greedy and ferocious mouths opened slightly, as if they were about to swallow everything.
Under the huge living immortal boat, the Xuan Bone Boat seems so small, and Luo Xue is more like an insignificant ant.
"Revenge... on the gods!"
Dugu Di's voice suddenly became hysterical, and his mind, which was barely maintaining on the edge of sanity, began to become blurred. The obsession of the Xianzhou people tormented him all the time.
He let out a piercing scream, which contained the blood and tears of millions of people on the Immortal Boat. This was the origin of their long-standing hatred, and the end had already happened... an irreversible ending.
This bloody memory flashed through Luo Xue's mind, and she finally understood why Emperor Dugu did this.
Emperor Dugu is not a minion of "Doomsday", but the mortal enemy of "Doomsday", an enemy that he is willing to destroy even the entire world.
