"The cemetery where the brothers and sisters live is very old. Not even a single corpse can be found in it. Only some scattered will-o'-wisps are left. Those will-o'-wisps are the seeds they protect. They need to regenerate them before the will-o'-the-wisps or themselves die out. To sow seeds...that is their raison d'être."
"In the long years that followed, their wisdom was severely worn away, and most of the seeds of protection were extinguished, and they could no longer sprout new ones. Their demise was unstoppable..."
"But fortunately, before the real demise came, they found the soil where the will-o'-the-wisp rekindled. As the 'Almighty One', the brother was mentally disturbed. He was afraid that he would go crazy and harm the will-o'-the-wisp, so he asked the 'Omniscient One' to My sister left with the remaining will-o'-the-wisps and went to sow seeds in the soil. Many of those will-o'-the-wisps also had the code names of gods. However, what this little sister didn't notice was that when she left, there was a dark figure disguised as Her shadow follows her."
Ta-ta-ta...
The two of them walked up the stairs, their voices echoing in the sky.
The young man in black paused for a moment and glanced at the poem beside him.
Although the pretty little girl didn't understand the story very well, she felt a shuddering feeling of fear when she heard a little girl similar to herself walking in the fields with a ghost following behind her.
"Are you scared?" The boy in black asked with a smile.
Shi clenched his fists and said, "It's just a story, what's so scary about it?"
She bit her fingertips, thought for a while, and then asked: "By the way, why do the seeds have such an unpleasant name as will-o'-the-wisp? Aren't will-o'-the-wisps something from the cemetery... How could such a thing take root and sprout? If it sprouts, What will grow out?"
The young man in black smiled and said: "The seed is the core of the fruit. If you grow a pear seed, it must be a pear. If you grow a papaya seed, it must be a papaya. Since that seed is called a ghost fire, it means that it is a ghost... Or maybe it’s the devil’s seed.”
"Ghost? Demon?" Shi couldn't help but look surprised.
The young man in black nodded and said: "Yes, these ghosts once lived in an island village. One day, a fire fell from the sky and swept through the village. These ghosts did not choose to save the village, but emptied everything from the village. Resources, built an ark that sailed across the sea, went to the vast sea, and never came back, allowing the village that had nurtured them for countless years to be destroyed and turned into a large desolate ruined cemetery. And before those ghosts left , and also used the rocky soil of the village to carve out the brother and sister, gave them seeds, and asked them to guard the ruins. If the ruins return to life, they will spread the seeds."
"They are so outrageous!" Shi puffed her face, filled with indignation.
"Do you also think they are too much?" the boy in black asked.
Shi nodded vigorously at first, then tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "That's not right. Although it is too much for them to abandon the village, the village is not life. Just like when we use a sword, if it becomes worn out after being used for a long time, it will Throw it away and get a new one.”
The boy in black asked, "What if that village is conscious?"
Shi was stunned and couldn't turn his head for a moment.
The young man in black crossed the sword hall where the competition was held and looked inside. This sword hall had witnessed countless competitions between young talents from Middle-earth. Every sword mark on the walls and floor tiles wrote a unique story.
He has read this kind of story for many years and it has become a part of his life. If it disappeared one day, he would probably be a little reluctant to let it go, right
The wind blows around Tianbang.
The young man in black walked towards the top of the command building and continued to tell the following story to the little girl beside him:
"Many, many years later, the almost hollowed-out village never showed any sign of recovery. Instead, it was torn to pieces by the sea water and pushed to an unknown location. Many years later, my brother discovered that the surrounding villages were originally An island seems to have regained its vitality. After the brother and sister discussed it, the sister crossed the sea to plant seeds, and the ghost shadow following the sister secretly was the resentful spirit that slowly condensed in the village."
"The resentful spirit..." Shi listened silently, shuddered, and asked, "Is this the price of abandoning the village?"
"Yes." The young man in black said: "The resentful spirit in the village hated those ghosts. The resentful spirit swore that he would never resurrect this demonic tribe. So he followed his sister quietly and wanted to destroy everything."
The young man in black seemed to be lost in reminiscence: "My sister crossed the sea and came to that vibrant village. The village was full of dragons. Dragons were so powerful because they swallowed a special kind of spiritual energy that later people called them Ancient God... In fact, in that ruined village, such a dragon once appeared, but there was no spiritual energy at that time, so the dragon is just a kind of life and cannot be called an ancient god."
Shi asked curiously: "Isn't that sister called the 'omniscient one'? Doesn't she know that there is a ghost following her?"
The young man in black explained: "When she was created, she was indeed omniscient, but she could not know things beyond her own knowledge. For example, before she went to the island, she did not know what the island looked like, but Once she arrives at the island, her 'omniscient' ability will be activated and she will quickly know everything about the island. But my sister does not know the existence of ghosts, and ghosts are not something that will be placed in front of her like islands and villages... because I don’t know, so I have no way of knowing.”
Shi felt dizzy after hearing this, and nodded reluctantly, letting her brother continue.
The boy in black said: "While my sister was sowing seeds, she encountered opposition from the old village chief of the island. The old village chief wanted to kill her, but found that he was no match for her. The village chief was frightened. He was afraid of his sister's revenge. , took the initiative to escape from the village, went to seek help from other village chiefs, and promised the village's most precious resources as reward."
"My sister actually didn't want to hurt the old village chief. She just wanted to discuss a way to live in peace with him. But she didn't know how to express goodwill. When the old village chief left, she also realized that she would be retaliated against. In order to protect her seeds, she could After growing vigorously, she took out the brightest will-o'-the-wisps and used the sun and moon as sources to shape them into powerful gods. The smaller will-o'-the-wisps stayed in the village to protect the world as immortals. These immortals later became Awakening one after another..."
"So... where is the resentful spirit?" Shi asked curiously.
"The resentful spirit is not as powerful as the brother and sister, so he has been waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack on the sister." The young man in black said: "After the sister has sown all the seeds, that is when the sister is at her weakest. At that moment, the resentful spirit takes action in shock and attacks her. Stunned my sister, took away her power of omniscience, buried her deep in the earth, and set up many seals. Everything went well... "
"The resentful spirit gained strength and began to truly grow. He wanted to destroy these ungerminated seeds, but he soon realized that the brother who was several times more powerful was still alive and still retained a part of the will-o'-the-wisp... Only by killing Only by killing my brother can I complete the final revenge on the ghosts who abandoned the village. How to kill my extremely powerful brother? The resentful spirit began to think about this problem."
The poem is fascinating to listen to.
The two of them arrived at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
"As for what happened next..." The young man in black opened the door and said, "Let's go in and talk slowly."
Shi looked at the unlit room and thought of her brother's words just now. She felt a little scared for no reason. She raised her head and looked at his slight smile, and quickly felt relieved again.
Shi walked in.
…
In the wasteland outside Tianbang, the ice and snow have melted, revealing the yellowish nature of the earth.
A line of fire swept over and stopped on the cold ground.
Suzaku's figure stopped, she looked at the person coming, and said with a faint smile: "Aren't you worried about your mother? Are you going to chase her over to see her?"
Zhao Xiang'er held an umbrella sword and stopped in front of Suzaku.
She looked at the buildings behind Suzaku and the towering Tianban with cold eyes: "What on earth are you doing? Why are you here?"
Today, Suzaku's eyebrows were extremely peaceful.
She looked at Suzaku, as if thinking about where to start from a long past event.
On the other side, Yuan Jun appeared quietly.
Zhao Xiang'er's eyes darkened, and her hand holding the sword tightened.
"Are you going to kill her?" Yuan Jun asked calmly.
"You dare?" Suzaku said coldly.
Yuan Jun sneered and said, "This is not your star."
Suzaku said lightly: "For thousands of years, we gods of the stars have had two shackles. One is the darkness in the sky, and the other is the shackles of the stars themselves. The darkness in the sky is about to be erased, and the shackles of the stars cannot Block my authority over the three thousand worlds. I am free, so any choice I make is possible. I advise you not to offend me."
Yuan Jun put the overall situation first and did not refute a single word. He turned around and left, disappearing into the buildings of Tianbang.
Zhao Xiang'er looked at Suzaku, at the disappeared Yuan Jun, and at the Tianbang behind them. At this moment, her spirit became clear and she suddenly understood something.
Could it be...
Her heart tightened, and she looked at the celestial monument as if she were seeing a real devil.
"Xian'er, you have always been very smart, and I have never thought of hiding it from you until now." Zhuque noticed her look and sighed: "But even if you guess the truth, it will be useless. Now you can't do anything. It can’t be changed.”
In the previous space-time explosion, the entire Western Kingdom was destroyed.
Without Zhao Xiang'er from the Kingdom of God, his strength would be greatly reduced, and he would not be able to participate in the truly peak battle between Ning Jiujiu and Ye Chan Palace.
Zhao Xiang'er stared at her blankly and remained silent for a long time before pointing to the Heavenly List, her voice trembling with anger: "He... what on earth is he..."
"As you think." Zhuque smiled slightly, with a drunken expression: "But don't worry, I will protect Xiang'er. After all... you are our daughter."
"You lunatic!" Zhao Xianger said coldly.
"Yes, I am a madman." Suzaku said: "But how can I live without going crazy? An ordinary spirit is a luxury for gods..."
Zhao Xiang'er looked at the woman who was smiling infatuatedly, gritted her silver teeth, jumped up suddenly, and flew towards the sky.
She wanted to fly out of the sky, tell them her conjecture, and stop the battle outside the sky!
Zhuque smiled helplessly and followed closely, quickly surpassing Zhao Xiang'er and intercepting her.
"Stop struggling in vain."
Suzaku smiled softly: "That battle will end soon... This is a ridiculous and sad decisive battle. It is ridiculous because both sides of the war are fighting for the continuation of human civilization, and sadly, neither Whoever wins will be a devastating blow to human civilization. This is destined to be a tragedy, the biggest tragedy in history."
…
In Taixu, this peak duel is coming to an end.
In the ruins of the meteorites, the weak Ye Changong Yuesha was stained with blood, and her body was wrapped in hot smoke. Ning Jiujiu held her petite and soft body in his arms, flying through the dust clouds that turned into powder, trying to escape. The chase of the doll.
The long-haired doll of Light Waterfall is a real murder weapon, and killing the boy and girl seems to have been engraved in its belief.
Of course, these ordinary dust cannot block his vision.
He easily locked the direction of their escape and pursued it like a ghost.
"Guarding the fire of human civilization never goes out..."
The puppet was reciting these words while flying in pursuit, just like a paranoid believer reciting his devout faith.
Its figure approached, and with one sword it cut the entire dust cloud in half. The sword light penetrated the clouds and locked directly on Ning Jiujiu's back.
The doll seems to have learned the power of 'Tai Yin'!
This blow was unavoidable for Ning Jiujiu. He hugged Ye Changong and was forced to use his back as a shield to block the sword light.
The sword light split open his back, almost cutting off his spine. His hands hugging Ye Changong tightened suddenly. Ye Changong could feel his pain from his embrace. She couldn't break away from this The embrace can only try its best to convey the power of life and heal his injuries as much as possible.
Ning Jiujiu's back was extremely stiff and painful, and blood spilled out, soaring into distinct blood beads in the universe.
Above, the huge dust was easily cut open by the doll. The sword light and the moonlight blended together. They complemented each other and exploded with endless power. At the same time, dozens of authorities were activated almost at the same time, with death row and trial. As the core, it pierced through the void and stabbed towards Ning Changjiu's back with a killing attitude.
"don't want… "
Ye Changong's voice was as low as a moan. She stretched out her hand, wanting to activate the infinite authority and jump to another brand new world line, but her hand was also tightly bound and could not move.
The power and murderous intent crushed the flesh and blood on Ning Jiujiu's back instantly.
This was a hundred times more bloody pain than lifting up all ten fingernails in an instant. Ning Jiujiu's scream almost burst out from between his teeth.
In the Zi Mansion, the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom was shaking, and Lu Jianjian and Si Ming could not support themselves. They fell from the throne and knelt on the ground, their shoulders contracted and trembled, like poor women who had been in the ice and snow for a day and a night.
Even if they have gathered strength together, even if they have received the support of all human monks, they are still so powerless when facing such peak power.
This nearly omnipotent puppet butcher was about to fall straight from the sky, holding a silver sword in his hand, and his figure was approaching at great speed.
"Its power comes from the stars..."
Ye Changong's eyebrows trembled slightly, and between her cold lips, the softest words sounded in Ning Jiujiu's heart: "By closing all the stars, it is possible to defeat it."
Close all the stars…
Ning Jiujiu clenched his upper and lower teeth tightly, almost grinding them together.
After learning that the source of the doll's power was the stars, similar thoughts flashed through Ning Jiujiu's mind for the first time.
But how can the stars be closed
There are only two ways to seal the stars. One is to simply destroy all the stars and cut off the channels of power directly from the source. The other is to create an isolated boundary similar to the Kingdom of God, introduce the doll into it, and lock it in the Kingdom of God. , sanction it with the laws of the Kingdom of God.
But both of these are not something they can do now...
moment.
The sword edge of the puppet dancing in the air has reached its neck, and the sudden chill caused all the hairs on the neck to stand up. When the sword edge struck, Ye Changong used his mind to drive Yue Zhi to stop it.
With a clang, the weapon bounced off again.
Cang Lei of 'Judgment' was still chasing after him, stabbing straight into Ning Jiujiu's back.
Ning Jiujiu reluctantly turned around, while protecting his master, he turned around and used his sword to cut off Cang Lei.
The sword light and the thunder light complement each other.
The sharp light curtain exploded in the void again, flying wildly and bursting into spectacular colors.
More and more blood is flying in the void.
Ning Chang's embrace relaxed a little.
Ye Changong could hear his sudden but increasingly weak heartbeat.
When death comes, the lonely universe is so quiet, and bits and pieces of the past fly past in their minds. Ye Changong suddenly feels regretful, regretting that he did not do more in those eight years.
If everything ends here, they will definitely regret it...
"I want..." Ye Changong suddenly said: "I want to see the moon again."
These words rang in Ning Jiujiu's ears.
He had just cut off Cang Lei and was flying down with Ye Chan Palace. The moon covered by the chaotic body was not far behind them.
Ye Changong rubbed a ball of moonlight into Ning Changjiu's arms, and then pushed him away.
Ning was stunned for a long time. He could truly feel that in his arms was the complete authority of life.
Master gave him the authority over his life!
The authority of life seeped into his body and healed his wounds at a miraculous speed. Ning Jiujiu saw the sadness in his master's eyes. This sadness had the heart-stopping beauty of death, and just one look made his heart beat like a knife.
"What are you going to do?!" Ning Jiujiu recovered slightly from his injuries. He moved and quickly rushed towards the master, trying to hug her back.
But at this moment, the figure chasing the puppet also arrived.
It fell between them, like a long dark river, separating the two.
Ye Changong opened his arms, faced Ning Changjiu, and fell towards the black moon, with a relieved smile on his lips.
It was like going to death...
But how could Ning Jiujiu watch her die
The power of life repaired his flesh and blood, and the spiritual energy stirred in his body. He held the silver sword in his hand, his eyes were about to split, and he swung the sword light that split the world, and slashed towards the black figure in front of him.
But the doll ignored him.
After a short period of judgment, the puppet held the blade and stabbed towards Ye Chan Palace.
It chose to kill Ye Chan Palace first.
The figure of the doll arrives in an instant.
His sharp blade easily penetrated Ye Changong's lower abdomen and stabbed out from behind.
Ning watched this scene for a long time, his breathing stopped, and the next beat of his heart seemed to tear him apart... Even though they had already prepared to die in defeat, when this moment really came, the puppets were able to do more than they imagined. When the power crushed them and then sent the blade into Ye Changong's body, Ning Changjiu was almost desperate, but at this moment, every drop of his blood was ignited, and he was angry like never before!
In the pure white heart lake, Liu Xiwan, who was almost unconscious, woke up vaguely. She felt the call, and then stretched out her hand, and once again became one with Ning Jiujiu, and cut out the world-famous thing that was even higher than the peak. One sword!
This sword illuminated the back of the doll's neck, and the light actually suppressed its long hair.
But the doll's expression was still cold to the point of freezing.
"Death row, guard."
It spoke lightly, using these two powers to block the sword.
On the other side, its sword edge had pierced Ye Changong's body, and another kind of power quickly attached to the sword edge, intending to blow up Ye Changong's body in one fell swoop.
"Disaster." It ordered again.
The sword that penetrated Ye Changong's body exploded with a bang.
It was also at this moment that Ye Changong suddenly raised his head, his eyes were clear, and the sadness in them disappeared without a trace, replaced by perseverance and determination carved into his bones!
Her eyes crossed the doll's shoulders and stared at Ning Jiujiu. Between her thin lips, cold words suddenly sounded in Ning Jiujiu's heart:
"One sword... only one sword! Kill it!"
It was the first time since Ning Jiujiu met her that her voice was so hasty and decisive.
The puppet's sword pierced her body, and the disaster authority was issued, exploding inside her body, but Ye Changong's body remained unharmed.
Where did the missing explosion go
Soon, the puppet got the answer.
The moon exploded!
At that moment, Ye Changong grafted the 'disaster' that exploded in his body onto the moon.
This was the pinnacle blow of the puppet. Endless energy exploded within the Moon Prison, tearing it apart during the high-speed expansion. The chaotic body attached to the surface of the Moon Prison also exploded with the Moon Prison's explosion. He was thrown away and turned towards Ye Chan Palace and the doll under the influence of the shock wave.
At the same time, the power of the dream was activated, invading the sea of consciousness of the puppet when it did not respond.
It has been proven during the previous 'contamination' that the doll's mental ability is relatively fragile. Although this is not fatal, it is definitely a way to delay its action.
Ye Changong deliberately let it assassinate him in order to take the opportunity to detonate the moon prisoner, cover the starry sky with the chaotic body, and cut off its source of power.
When Ning Jiujiu used the earth as a bow to shoot himself out, he penetrated the core of the chaotic body with a sword! This also proves that the Dark Lord in the Chaos body, isolated from the starry sky, is fragile.
But it is obviously so powerful, why does it use the Chaos Body to weaken itself
Ning Jiujiu has been flawless to think about the answer.
The Moon Prisoner has exploded, and they have no way out. Regardless of success or failure, this sword will be his last. When the sword light flashes, life, death and fate are decided in an instant!
Within the body of Chaos, the silver sword fell straight down!
At the same time, the Golden Crow flew out, the Red Sun Gate opened, and the figures of Si Ming and Lu Jianjiao flew out, one to the left and one to the right, slashing out light enough to cut off the gods in a clever arc.
The women in the two characters had struggled to support the temple for too long, and their palms were dripping with blood, but their sword swings did not slow down even half a minute.
This is a killing technique they have practiced countless times!
The sword light hit the doll's body almost simultaneously.
A hint of confusion flashed across the doll's cold cheeks again.
"Guard... mankind... the fire of civilization... immortal..."
Intermittent words came from his mouth.
The three sword qi merged together, and each sword light was an ice blade inserted into the joints, or a bone chopping knife that crushed the arms and legs. The power they erupted poured out, lighting up the chaotic body brightly. Without the support of the stars, the doll became fragile and its surface was torn to pieces.
After the sword light, strong winds and waves suddenly stirred up, and the chaotic body that was briefly closed opened again.
"Don't let it shine into the starlight!" Ye Changong's soft voice was already hoarse.
They didn't know whether this blow had killed the pinnacle masterpiece of the previous civilization, but there was only one chance. If it could see the stars again, the efforts of this sword would be in vain.
Ning Jiujiu didn't think too much and directly unfolded the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom and included the broken doll with the red sun.
The light disappeared in a flash, and the golden crow flew back.
The surface of the chaotic body was still shaking, the fragments of the Moon Prisoner were shooting around, the sword light gradually dissipated, Ye Changong covered her lower abdomen, her eyelids were half drooped on her porcelain white cheeks, Si Ming and Lu Jiaoyue held the broken pieces in their hands. The cracked tiger's mouth, the severe pain made their lips and teeth tremble slightly, making it difficult to speak.
In the pure white heart lake, Liu Xiwan bit her lip and knelt on the lake, her body moving like water.
Ning Chang's hand holding the sword slowly lowered, and his torn and ragged white clothes fluttered in the air.
The universe is silent.
They seemed to have defeated the invincible enemy, but for some reason, no one felt happy. On the contrary, everyone felt an indescribable confusion, as if it was all meaningless...
"Have you killed him?" Lu Marian looked at him and asked softly.
Siming also looked at him, his blood-red lips dripping with beauty.
Ning closed his eyes for a long time and looked at the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom from a distance with his lunar eyes.
The doll was lying in the Kingdom of God, its body was broken, and the slender hair on the back of its head had disappeared. It closed its eyes, unaware of life or death.
Even if it is not dead, perhaps it can be locked up in the Golden Crow Kingdom forever...
"We... seem to have won." Ning Jiujiu said.
He also couldn't feel the joy of annihilating the enemy. Why? Is it because the puppet kept murmuring the phrase 'Guard the fire of human civilization never goes out'
wrong! I will never change my decision because of the enemy's joys and sorrows...
Ning Jiujiu had a splitting headache.
The four of them seemed to have been drained of energy, and there was no communication.
Ye Changong held her belly where the blood was dizzy, and said softly: "Okay, that's it. We have completed our mission, and now... it's time to close all the world lines."
"Conquer all world lines?" Siming was surprised, vaguely feeling that this was related to unlimited power.
"Well, world line." Ye Changong nodded and said: "This is also the reason for the long-term rebirth in this life."
Ye Changong stretched out his hand.
Previously, she used time, space and light to merge into infinity, and this power is now in her hands.
"unlimited."
Ye Changong whispered.
Authority unfolds.
Then, an incredible picture slowly unfolded before their eyes.
They were no longer in Taixu, but in a strange space. Surrounding them were many colorful lines. And at this moment, they were in one of the lines.
"These pillars of light are different world lines." Ye Changong stood beside them and explained: "At the end of the previous life, I must have known that the plan would fail, so after obtaining time and space, I returned to the Taoist temple. When you are about to ascend, a sword pierces your chest, using the moon branch to take out the light in your body, fuse it into 'infinity', and then..."
Ye Changong looked at those light pillars and said: "Then, with infinite authority, I divided the original single world line into infinite numbers... These world lines represent infinite possibilities. In most world lines, you will be able to function normally Become my disciple and be accepted as my disciple. But the infinite charm lies in this. There are always some world lines where you will not be able to join my disciple due to various accidents. Instead, you will be doing different things in different parts of the world. , For example, in this life, when you were sixteen, you were still a disciple of an old Taoist."
"But doing so may also cause chaos in space and time, because as long as one of these seemingly parallel lines is slightly offset, it will cause a large number of collisions. At that time, the world lines will swallow each other up, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, after getting the only After the 'correct solution', we must close the world line back to prevent accidents from happening."
Ye Changong held Infinity in his hand and whispered:
"This all started with me and will end with me. Next, I will reunite all the world lines into one. The history we write at this moment will be the only history."
Ning Chang looked up.
He found that other world lines, whether long or short, all stagnated at a certain moment.
Only they keep moving forward.
They are the only world line that has defeated the Dark Lord.
The world line kept advancing, eventually surpassing all lines, and those lines that were surpassed slowly gathered towards them.
All tragedies that happened in other world lines will be wiped out at this moment. No one can tamper with history anymore. They and all mankind will also have a bright future.
Will all this finally come to an end...
…
At this moment, many people in the world are still looking up at the explosion of the moon in horror, unable to determine what the outcome of the war will be.
"I didn't expect they actually did it."
In the sky list, the young man in black walked out slowly and said: "I can feel that infinite authority has been opened, and the closing of the world line is irreversible. After so many years... we finally succeeded."
Yuan Jun stood beside him, listened to his words, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The gods live forever." Yuan Jun closed his eyes and performed a blessing ceremony.
"The gods live forever."
The boy in black also smiled faintly.
"What are you waiting for?" Yuan Jun looked at the boy in black and asked.
"Huh?" The boy in black looked at him.
Yuan Jun looked at him with a vicissitude in his eyes. He said solemnly and respectfully: "Ascend to the throne of the new world, Lord Dark Lord."
