Lu Ze heard Alice's sigh and turned to look at her.
The setting sun shone on Alice's body, coating her with an orange light. Her eyes looking at the setting sun were very complicated, and Lu Ze couldn't understand it.
He smiled and said: "Alice, you are completely different now from the silly smile you just now. We are still young. No matter how beautiful the sunset is, just appreciate it. If you sigh too much, you will get old, right?"
The two of them joked and played together for a day, and their relationship became more familiar than before. Lu Ze actually made fun of her.
Alice looked at Lu Ze looking at her with a smile, and her mood calmed down a little. She turned her head and continued to look at the sunset, twitching the corners of her mouth, but failing to smile.
Then, she spoke in a distant voice: "Senior, can I tell you something? Don't tell anyone else? Not even Ali."
When Lu Ze heard this, he was slightly startled. He looked at Alice, whose expression was not quite right: "What's going on?"
Alice turned her head and glanced at Lu Ze: "If the senior doesn't agree to my words, I won't say anything."
Lu Ze looked at Alice silently, and finally nodded slightly: "I promise you."
He always felt that it would be something very important.
After hearing this, Alice showed a faint smile that was completely different from usual. The smile looked a little sad under the sunset: "Senior, do you know that some races are born to stand at the pinnacle of the universe?"
Lu Ze was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Alice to say this. He nodded: "I know."
There is no absolute fairness in the universe. There are always strong and weak among races.
The human race is just an ordinary race, not at the same level as those powerful races that were born to dominate the universe.
For example, the legendary Star Spirit tribe was born in the starlight. When they were born, they were at the Star Domain level, and when they grew up, they became Star Lords. That kind of strong person could destroy the Milky Way with just a thought.
But fortunately, a strong man of that level has no interest in ordinary races at all.
They themselves are already immortal and have seen the birth and destruction of many races. There are too few things that interest them.
After hearing this, Alice laughed, her smile a little bitter: "Then you know? Some magical powers, as long as they are awakened, have the same innate strength as the top races."
Lu Ze was slightly stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know this. He didn't know much about magical powers.
Looking at Alice's somewhat bitter smile, Lu Ze felt a little tight in his chest for some reason.
He smiled: "I don't know about this, Alice, why are you talking about this?"
Alice turned her head and continued to look at the sunset. The light of the sunset gradually became dim. She seemed to be a little cold, and she shrank her little body.
After a moment of silence, Alice continued: "My magical power is called the Fire of Origin."
Lu Ze looked at Alice and said nothing. He always felt that he seemed to have some guesses.
"That is a magical power that can compete with the top races in the universe as long as it grows up."
Lu Ze's pupils shrank and his heartbeat stopped for half a beat.
really…
He looked at Alice, this guy actually has such a terrifying talent?
At this moment, Alice suddenly turned to Lu Ze and said with a smile: "Hey, senior must be thinking now that this junior girl with such a silly smile has such a terrifying talent, right?"
Lu Ze: "..."
Are you the roundworm in my stomach? ?
Why do you know what I'm thinking? ?
Could it be that he has a straight face or something like that
There is no cure for that kind of disease!
After Alice startled Lu Ze, she shrank back again and said in a distant voice: "But... the problem is, I was born in the human race..."
Lu Ze said with some confusion: "What's wrong with being born in the human race?"
"A magical power of this level, even if it is just awakened, requires terrifying energy, let alone subsequent growth. But our human race does not have this kind of energy... "
"I have had signs of awakening since I was born. At first, my ancestors and elders thought that what I awakened was some kind of powerful supernatural power. It wasn't until I was five years old that my awakening stopped."
There was a bit of sadness in Alice's eyes.
It was the first time that Lu Ze saw a girl like this guy who smiled like sunshine showing such an expression.
"Due to lack of energy, the awakening of the Source Fire failed, and backlash occurred. Mother..."
As the breeze blew, Alice's body trembled slightly, and she continued: "In order to protect me, my mother planted half of her own fire and half of her soul into my body to help me suppress the fire of the essence that had just begun to awaken. She fell into fell asleep."
"The ancestors and some elders only found out what kind of magical power this is after checking a lot of information."
"So, my ancestors and elders went outside the galaxy to help me find the energy I needed to awaken. Even many powerful people in the federation tried their best to help."
"...Perhaps, they also have a glimmer of hope, hoping that I can awaken the fire of the essence, become a truly strong man, and ensure the prosperity of my human race, right?"
"The outer reaches of the Milky Way are far more dangerous than imagined. The last time I saw my ancestor was eight years ago."
Speaking of this, Alice bit her lip slightly and said tremblingly: "At that time, my ancestor was seriously injured and almost died, but he brought back a small piece of virtual source for me. It is precisely because of this that I can live until now."
Lu Ze looked at Alice's trembling body, silently took out the quilt he just bought from the space ring, covered her, and then continued to listen to her story.
Alice tightened the quilt tightly and smiled at Lu Ze.
It's a pity that this smile makes people unhappy.
She continued: "Some people always lament that I was born into the wrong race. As long as I was born into a stronger race, I would now be one of the most shining geniuses in the universe."
Lu Ze looked at Alice: "What do you think?"
Alice looked at Lu Ze, her eyes were moist, but she smiled firmly and said, "I am very happy to be born as a human being."
"It's just that it's too unfair for other people. They have sacrificed too much. My mother slept for twelve years for me, and my father burned himself with the fire of the essence every time I had a backlash, absorbing the backlash for me. , as well as the ancestor who was almost seriously injured, and the strong men of the Federation who have been doing their best to help... "
Lu Ze silently looked at Alice who was biting her lip, with sadness in her eyes but trying not to cry.
Finally, he smiled: "What, if you want to cry, can you lend me my senior's shoulder to lean on? It's free just this time?"
Hearing this, Alice bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Lu Ze: "Senior, it's too much for you to say such things to me now."
Lu Ze smiled: "Then do you need it?"
Alice said nothing and silently pressed her forehead on Lu Ze's shoulder.
Then, low sobbing came out. Gradually, the sobbing became louder and louder. Alice clutched Lu Ze's clothes tightly with both hands and cried loudly.
"Uuuuuuu... Senior... I don't want to die! What will happen to my mother if I die? Her fire and half of her soul are in me, and she will die!! If my mother and I both leave, what will happen to my father?? Also Ancestor... I haven't seen him for a long time... Woo hoo hoo... "
