The cold wind howled, and the entire island of the White Palace, apart from the eternal flow of meteorites around it, was empty and silent desolation.
The dark golden void crystal has become part of the scenery of the entire island.
"It seems that I miscalculated again in this battle." The voice of the White King came from outside the crystal.
Through the crystal dimly, Garen saw the other party flashing outside in an instant, and just sat down cross-legged, without any image, on the ground.
He himself could no longer speak decades ago, and even the time to go out for activities was restricted. The nature of the confinement seemed to have begun to affect the ability to travel through dreams. Most of the time, he was inside the crystal, quietly trying to comprehend the deeper nature of the confinement. But this perception is getting slower and slower, smaller and smaller. He was so young that many times he thought he was making no progress.
During these times, the White King would sometimes come to chat with him when he was bored alone. At first he could barely reply a few words, but now as the restraint became stronger and stronger, he couldn't even get through the words. out.
But even if there is no voice, the White King will still come to talk and chat, talking on his own, it seems that he just wants a person to confide in, and doesn't care whether the other party will answer.
"The Red King has finally awakened." The White King said indifferently, "I heard that he has entered the eighth level, and he is coming soon. Although he deviates from the general trend a lot, the speed is also very fast."
"And your sister, who is now at level nine, can even escape from the hands of the Holy Master head-on. It's amazing to rely on such little resources and conditions, to be able to grow to this point in just a few hundred years." The voice of the King of White There seemed to be a trace of emptiness, a trace of bewilderment.
"Isn't this the script you set up from the beginning?" Garen wanted to reply, but unfortunately, the voice could not penetrate the crystal at all.
"I know, you want to say, isn't this a script I arranged myself?" The White King looked indifferently at the meteorite spinning in the distant sky. "Yeah. Didn't I just pursue unity and peace from the beginning? The Scarlet King can bring more lasting peace to this era, quell all wars, and allow the two races to coexist peacefully and integrate together."
He was silent for a while, he didn't know what to eat in his hand, he sent a piece to his mouth, and chewed it lightly.
"I can't do this kind of equal treatment."
"That's why you waited for the Scarlet King to grow up, for him to be truly qualified to take over everything?" Garen asked even though he knew his voice couldn't get through.
The White King really didn't hear the sound, he didn't speak any more, just tore small pieces of food and put them into his mouth piece by piece, his eyes were blank.
In fact, both of them tacitly understood that every time Garen shuttled out, the power of confinement seemed to be stimulated, and the strengthening confinement of dreams in this regard also made it more difficult for him to shuttle out every time. difficult.
Maybe go out a few times and never come back.
"Is this self-inflicted?" Garen said helplessly. The strongest confinement was stronger than he expected. Not only did it block the White King, but now he might even be completely blocked. Maybe it's possible to be sealed inside forever.
He believed that the White King had also expected this, so he regarded him as a confidant, and often confide in his distress without any cover.
"Perhaps, there are two more times to go out." Garen calculated carefully and came to this precise conclusion. The time between two more trips should not exceed one month. Otherwise, as the power of confinement grows and strengthens, he may not be able to come back. Well, when the time comes, the will will be separated from the body, and it will be no different from falling directly. Maybe it is a little different. After falling, the will can only remain on places and objects, and cannot move by itself. he may still be able to move freely
The fall of the king class is like this. After death, there is still a highly concentrated will, which can survive for a long time. It is similar to Gu Yinduo, and there is still soul species after death.
The Queen of God is like this, and so is Chi Yue. It's just that one is attached to the palace, and the other is attached to the core parts of his mecha.
"The last time I go out, I have to find the key way to escape." Gallon didn't want to be trapped in the void crystal forever, living like this without time and space, would drive himself crazy sooner or later.
He had a premonition that perhaps the opportunity to leave this world was coming.
"It looks like you've done it to yourself." The White King looked at Garen in the well and said. "In order to block me, I closed myself in the crystal and couldn't get out."
He took out a jug of wine and drank it on his own, directly putting the spout of the jug to his mouth.
"Ridiculous. Who knew that the tenth king-level crystal king of mankind, the king of lies, is already a crystal statue that is about to fall by itself?"
Garen could see that he was bored, perhaps by now, it had somewhat contradicted his own originally planned trajectory. Perhaps ideals and reality conflict. It could be seen that the White King didn't seem to want to die yet.
He was conflicted with the plan he had made back then.
"Forget it, you are dying, why am I still telling you so much?" The White King stood up, threw away the flagon, turned and left slowly.
Garen watched his back slowly disappearing up the steps, not knowing what it was like.
"The last time I go out, I have to consider the way out." He made the final decision in his mind.
Xilin, and Shinandi, these are two knots that he has to deal with.
Did Xilin really lie to him, or did someone kill her in disguise? Or was there no Xilin in the first place? From the very beginning, she was a small pawn planned to ambush under the command of the White King, in order to grasp the movement of the Scarlet Moon King
All of this has not been clarified until now. The last time Garen went out, he found some clues. Maybe he will be able to figure it out completely this time.
"It's time to end everything." Garen slowly gathered his will in the crystal.
*****************
five days later.
A certain star field of the human race - the central black bottom star.
In a highland town on the edge of a snow-capped mountain, a tall man in a black cloak walked up the narrow town street. He wore a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of dark blue eyes. The whole body, including both arms, were tucked into the cloak.
Several children in the town ran around, looking curiously at this strange outsider from time to time.
This small town is located in a remote place, and it is also the most barren place on the Black Bottom Star. On weekdays, there may not be a single outsider for ten days and a half months. And every time outsiders come in, these children will act as the first witnesses.
In front of the houses on both sides, an aunt who was coming out with an iron basin to pour water glanced at the man, and was about to turn around and go back to the house.
"Ma'am, may I ask?" The man's voice sounded from under the cloak. "Is there a female pilot named Xilin living here? She has short green hair, is a bit tall, and looks pretty. It must have been more than thirty years since she moved here."
Mom stood up.
"Xilin? For more than 30 years, you mean Miss Xilin??"
"Miss?"
The man in the cloak was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, she is older than us. What's your name if you don't call her eldest sister?" The aunt said naturally, "But what do you want her for?"
"I'm her friend, and I've come here to see her for many years, so I happened to drop by here to investigate." The man replied, but judging from his voice, the man should be very young.
The aunt suddenly became suspicious, but considering that many pilots have the ability to delay aging, she still hesitated to point out Xilin's home address.
"Her house goes straight along this road, and the third small green building is there. But."
"But what?"
The aunt looked towards the street, leaned closer and whispered.
"However, Sister Xilin has passed away for almost ten years."
The man obviously couldn't listen to the latter words, and he was stunned. Gently pulling off the mask, revealing a fierce and indifferent face.
"died?"
A V-shaped white point between the man's eyebrows slowly lit up, showing that his mood fluctuated greatly at the moment. The white light also brightens and dims according to the mood, which is unpredictable.
Swish!
Amidst the exclamation of the aunt and several children, the man instantly disappeared in place without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.
The distance of hundreds of meters is fleeting.
When Garen reappeared, he was already standing in front of a small green building in the small town.
The small building was a bit dilapidated, the iron gate at the entrance was open on one side, and a green-haired girl with a schoolbag was closing the iron gate with her back facing him.
The girl was wearing a black student skirt, black stockings, and leather boots. She had a slender figure, almost exactly the same as Xilin back then.
Click, the iron lock was locked, the girl turned around, and was obviously taken aback when she saw the silent man in the black cloak behind her, she shrank back slightly, and put her hands in a familiar posture.
Garen looked at the girl in front of him who was almost exactly the same as Xilin back then, and her stance of the Twelve Flying Dragon Fist. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he was still in the Heipanyu teaching her.
"Who are you?" the girl asked cautiously. "What are you doing at my house?"
Garen smiled, his originally fierce face suddenly looked even more fierce with such a blunt smile. You must know that at the beginning, he was a character who could scare children into tears when he laughed, but now his strength and aura have increased greatly, and he feels even more terrifying. Immediately, the girl tensed up all over.
"Me? I'm here to find Xilin. Who are you to her?"
The girl took a step back slightly, keeping the best hands-on distance.
"I am her daughter, and my mother has been dead for ten years."
Gallon didn't know what to say. There was still no conclusion about Xilin's matter until now, but what was certain was that she couldn't be Shinandi's clone or something, but a real living person, and her daughter
"Who is your father?" Garen stopped smiling.
"Father?" The girl frowned, "Why should I tell you? Who are you?!"
The atmosphere was a little stalemate.
Garen suddenly stretched out his right hand, the palm of which was covered with an inexplicable transparent film, and gently grabbed the girl in front of him.
