From the beginning to the end, Xuanyuan'e has been doing her best to be the gravekeeper of the world, including staying among the Messenger of Doom.
Although some people wanted to survive selfishly or for some vain beliefs, Xuanyuan'e was obviously not one of them.
Countless years ago, when she broke into the promotion ceremony that was destined to lead to annihilation for the revenge of her friend, she had already made the choice that she would stick to for the rest of her life.
Now, since she has found a "gravekeeper" who is good enough and trustworthy, even if this "gravekeeper" is not herself or a friend she is familiar with, Xuanyuan'e is willing to go to her end.
She only hopes that this extremely heavy responsibility can get the destination it deserves.
After a brief silence, Luo Ling asked, "Miss Xuanyuan'e, if Zi Ke could also become the 'tombkeeper', but I killed him, how would you feel?"
Xuanyuan E did not answer Luo Ling directly, but said quietly,
"I once killed a gravekeeper out of selfishness, just to avenge my friend. Therefore, I owe this world a gravekeeper. This heavy responsibility has been weighing on my mind."
What she meant was that she only cared about whether there was a "gravekeeper" in this world, not who this "gravekeeper" was.
If Luo Ling killed a "gravekeeper", she hoped that Luo Ling would be able to take the responsibility of finding another "gravekeeper" to replace him. It was not a strong request, but just an explanation of the responsibility he should bear.
"... I understand." Luo Ling's eyes flickered, and then he chuckled and said, "In fact, there are quite a few so-called 'gravekeepers' around me."
With her around, even if the "doomsday" really comes and the end is irreversible, she can still save her family members to the best of her ability.
If such a day really comes, the star civilization that disappeared in annihilation will not be forgotten forever, and there will not even be any trace of its presence.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan E was slightly stunned. After a long sigh, she couldn't help but murmured,
“Is that so?”
Is the realm that the Doomsday Messenger strives for with all his might just ordinary in the eyes of Miss Luo Ling
Such long years of persistence seem to have lost all meaning at this moment.
But the next moment, she also laughed.
"That's good."
The communication in consciousness is always brief and quick. After confirming the cooperation with Xuanyuan'e, Luo Ling slightly relaxed the restrictions on her, allowing her to communicate directly with Chou Ke, and Luo Ling no longer needed to act.
However, Luo Ling still kept an eye out to prevent Xuanyuan'e from deceiving him with false feelings. If she made any inappropriate move, he would immediately restrain her again.
If such a thing really happened, it would no longer be the Xuanyuan family who would judge Xuanyuan E, but her sister herself.
At the same time, Zi Ke was planning the next battle plan for the Doomsday Messenger.
Abandon some of the loose substations, and use these territories that have been condensed for who knows how long as weapons to tear apart the defenses of the Place of Origin.
Almost all the bases of various forces will have very strict mystical barriers set up, just like the old man had set up a huge barrier covering the entire Victoria area when he was in Victoria. This was not only to better control the situation in the base, but also to defend against outsiders.
There were often frictions between the major forces, and they had even fought many wars with the goal of completely destroying each other. The battle between Qingqiu and Xihe Palace was just one of them.
Previously, in order to destroy the Penglai Holy Land, an entire branch station had been sacrificed, and most of the troops were consumed in the external defensive mystical barrier.
However, for the Doomsday Messenger, the branch station is actually more important than the carrier pigeons and horses stationed there. Now that he has decided to burn his boats, he must pay the corresponding price.
"These are the abandoned substations, and these are the ones that will be retained for the time being..."
Through Xuanyuan'e's consciousness, Luo Ling easily obtained this extremely valuable information. Zi Ke's planning was very careful, so the information Luo Ling could obtain was extremely detailed.
When all the plans were completed, Zi Ke looked at everyone again and said in a deep voice,
"Next, whether you can take on the important responsibility of being the 'gravekeeper' will depend on your ability."
On the surface, the messengers showed no signs of communication and maintained their usual gazes, but from their subtle movements, one could tell that their moods were very different.
Excited, hesitant, wandering, excited...
In short, at this historic moment, every messenger could not help but be moved.
The combat meeting ended here. Considering the chaos that was about to come, this would most likely be the last meeting of the Messenger of Doom before the birth of the Gravekeeper.
The messengers left one after another, even Mao Ke was no exception. Before she left, she inexplicably cast her gaze at Yin Ke. She always felt that something was wrong with Sister Yin today, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
But in the final analysis, even though the original messenger was at the same twelve o'clock position as the other messengers, his status was much higher. Even if he felt something was wrong at the first hour of dawn, he couldn't say it directly, as it would be considered an offense.
What's more, Mao Ke is actually an insider, so she doesn't care what problems might arise inside the Doomsday Messenger.
To be honest, times like these of internal turmoil were the best time for Mao Ke to fish in troubled waters, and she wished there would be more chaos.
Until all the messengers had left, the three original messengers remained strangely silent.
Zi Ke left the mysterious cemetery silently, and Xuanyuan E wanted to leave directly but was stopped by Chou Ke.
"Little sister Yin," Chou Ke said hesitantly, "You... really don't object to this plan?"
Only the three of them knew what kind of tragedy this plan, which had once been proposed, had led to.
"I don't mind."
Xuanyuan'e replied calmly.
"Why."
Chou Ke sighed deeply.
He is not a kind-hearted person. On the contrary, as soon as the civil strife caused by Su Wan broke out, he decisively killed all the subordinate members who might be dominated, which shows that he is very decisive.
However, this is because these lower-level members are consumables, and there is only hope for twelve minutes.
But this plan would really destroy Twelve Quarters and the hope in his eyes.
"In that case..."
Chou Ke seemed to have made some kind of decision.
But he said nothing, and his figure slowly disappeared, leaving Luo Ling and Xuanyuan E alone in the mysterious cemetery.
"here... "
Luo Ling looked at this place curiously and could see that at the end of the strange statue, there seemed to be something else.
However, at this time she was bound by Xuanyuan'e's broken consciousness, and her range of movement was quite limited.
"If you want to know anything about the Messenger of Doom, I will tell you." Xuanyuan E whispered, "Miss Luo Ling, if you have any questions, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
"Even if you say that, I will still send you to the Xuanyuan family to stand trial by them." Luo Ling said in a deep voice.
After a slight pause, Xuanyuan'e's voice became more cheerful, as if relieved from a heavy burden.
"Even if you don't send me there, I will still take the initiative to bear the punishment I deserve for the crime I committed."
The broken consciousness in the mysterious cemetery slowly dissipated and fell into eternal silence again, as if no trace of its existence had ever existed.
... ..
Luo Ling opened her eyes, and sitting in front of her was Xuanyuan E, who was almost controlled by the embedded doll.
She raised her hand slightly, and Xuanyuan'e's consciousness was able to take over part of the embedded doll, limited to speaking and expression.
When the light reappeared before her eyes, Xuanyuan'e watched everything that appeared in her field of vision greedily, not even willing to blink, making her already dull expression seem even more stiff.
Even though he had learned about the unknown past of the Doomsday Messenger from Xuanyuan'e and had received promises and assurances from the other party, Luo Ling still did not let down his guard. These were necessary measures.
Luo Ling, who had been badly cheated by those old foxes, was really unwilling to gamble all of this on his own personal charm.
After experiencing all this, Xuanyuan'e regained her sight and realized that all this was not a dream. It gradually became real. She looked at Luo Ling with gratitude and a hint of envy.
If only I had met this "White Witch" lady earlier.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"Since you can tell me everything you just said," Luo Ling said directly without any hesitation, "Tell me about the weaknesses of Zi Ke and Chou Ke first. This will be more useful now."
"Their weaknesses? Let me think..."
Xuanyuan'e hesitated for a moment and said,
"First of all, the reincarnation of Zi Ke and the myriad incarnations of Chou Ke are abilities that were born out of their paths of "Doomsday" and "Transformation" as well as their original paths."
Since the origins of almost all paths come from "doomsday" and "transformation", when tracing the origins, a certain connection can also be formed, and sublimation can be carried out into "transformation" or "doomsday".
The paradise "Changshengtian" planned by the omens of the time is a special place created by utilizing the "other shore" path and the "ascension" path, plus the watchful eyes of the outer gods.
Zi Ke's reincarnation is based on "this life" and is achieved with "doomsday" as fuel.
The myriad incarnations of Chou Ke are based on "all spirits", with the balance point between the "transformation" and "doomsday" paths as the condensed ability of sublimation.
Because he has touched upon "transformation", Chou Ke can be said to be the one among the doomsday messengers who is the furthest away from being a "gravekeeper".
In fact, Doomsday Messengers' achievements in recent years have been pitiful.
There is no need to say much about the End of Columbia. Although it was created by the Messenger of Doom, they did not get any power from it. "Birth" and "Devouring" were obtained by Su Wan and Luo Ling respectively.
In the subsequent Victoria Change, although the "Angel of Death" was successfully born and the woman was delivered to Zi Ke's hands after her death, she failed to achieve the corresponding annihilation ending. It can be said that it was a complete loss.
Without sufficient completion, the abilities of Zi Ke and Chou Ke have corresponding defects.
Zi Ke's reincarnation seems to have no weaknesses except for the consumption of some insignificant consumables, but in fact, each of his rebirths is equivalent to taking over another's body in a sense, and everything about the original owner still affects him.
However, this effect was not obvious because the original owner was too weak and Zi Ke was too powerful.
As long as this point can be targeted, the power of Zi Ke can be greatly weakened.
The countless incarnations of Chou Ke are somewhat similar to Luo Ling's puppet making. After all, they are both on the path of "all spirits" - "death".
Its flaws are even more obvious. If the clone that is too weak is destroyed, his power will be weakened.
Therefore, ugly carvings hide thousands of incarnations in the market.
He never told anyone that the villagers working in various sub-stations were not all incarnations of Ugly.
Killing a few villagers without involving the incarnation has little impact on Chou Ke, and it conveys to the outside world the illusion that killing the incarnation is useless.
If Xuanyuan'e hadn't informed on them, no one would have known the weaknesses of these two people.
"Are all your flaws so exaggerated?" Luo Ling was quite surprised and asked, "By the way, what are your weaknesses?"
"When a mortal attempts to dabble in the power of a god, this is the result." Xuanyuan'e said, looking at Luo Ling with a bit of resentment, "As for my weakness, don't you already know it?"
"... .Do I know?"
Luo Ling blinked, her face full of innocence.
Such a sincere look made Xuanyuan E sigh and said,
“Because I was severely corroded by Doomsday, my body is extremely weak and I have lost all five senses. Even a mortal can kill me easily.
"But it is precisely because of this that I am almost the only one who can adapt to the virtual world. In the virtual world, all the nothingness can be used by me."
"Eh, is that so?" Luo Ling touched his chin and asked, "Then why didn't I see you using this ability when I took you away from the virtual world..."
After the words fell, even Xuanyuan'e, who was controlled by the embedded doll, couldn't help but twist her face. After a moment, she said in a stiff tone,
"Ms. Luo Ling, please stop joking. I just don't want to use it. I just can't use it."
"Ah, why can't you use it?" Luo Ling continued to ask like a curious baby, "If you could have used the power of the virtual world at that time, I wouldn't have been able to take it so easily, right?"
Xuanyuan E stared at Luo Ling, trying to find some clues from his expression, but she failed in the end and sighed,
"Do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know just to mock me... I am now a prisoner without any resistance. There is really no need to humiliate me like this."
"Uh, what kind of bullying is that? I really don't know."
Luo Ling was really aggrieved. She was just asking out of curiosity. How did it become her who was bullying the other person
Seeing the innocent and aggrieved look on the girl in front of her, Xuanyuan E finally believed it a little.
But I didn't expect that the cruel and tyrannical "White Witch" in the legend would actually be such a quirky girl...
"The reason why I can't use it is because of you." Xuanyuan E said softly, "As long as you are here, everything in the virtual world will not obey my control, because their true master has appeared.
"In the virtual world... no, when the "end of the world" comes, you will be able to become the queen who rules over everything."
Chapter 81: Bad Intentions but Good Results (5k)
Luo Ling did not send Xuanyuan E to the Xuanyuan family for trial immediately. Firstly, because the three major origin places are still in a blockade state, and secondly, Xuanyuan E can still be used in the next war.
However, there is no way to use him directly as a powerful combat force.
It was not until he came into contact with Xuanyuan'e that Luo Ling realized that all previous speculations about "Yinke" were wrong.
It's all nonsense that she won't take action easily because of her pride, or that she only likes to challenge the strongest opponents. The truth is that every time she takes action, she is burning her life.
Even Luo Ling could not reverse such a terrible outcome.
Xuanyuan'e is now terribly weak. Even though the existence of this embedded doll has, to some extent, prevented her physical body from being easily killed by ordinary people, it is still no match for her true strength.
