In addition to the ending they could not bear, even the Doomsday Messenger's long-standing reliance was destroyed by Luo Ling.
It is almost a consensus of the entire world that there is no possibility of recovery for a place that has been eroded by "Doomsday" and turned into a virtual world. Even the Xuanyuan family, who has been dealing with the messengers of Doomsday for many years, is helpless.
The appearance of Luo Ling broke this consensus.
She can make the virtual world retreat and restore the present world, just as the "Metamorphosis" did in the past.
This can almost be said to have cut off the foundation for the Doomsday Messenger to launch such a hysterical attack.
In Luo Ling's original plan, Chou Ke would hesitate and waver because of this matter. As long as she could delay it for a while, she would be able to complete the purification of Victoria's boundary, and the next step would be "Penglai Island".
After recovering these two places that were eroded by "Doomsday" and turned into virtual worlds, Luo Ling's consumption has almost reached the limit, but the results will be remarkable. The Doomsday Messenger's attack plan has completely failed and he is no longer able to continue the attack.
Their attack this time was meant to be an all-out effort, risking everything in an attempt to stage a Jedi reversal. The most ideal outcome would be the complete destruction of the slightly weaker Victoria and Valhalla, while the most powerful Great Xia Imperial City would linger on, only to watch the infinite virtual world surround them until the moment of "doomsday".
If it can be done, except for Mao Ke, the other postmen can basically become "gravekeepers".
Of course, this ideal situation is too ideal. The expectation for the Chou Ke is only that one "gravekeeper" will appear. Together with the Zi Ke, there are a total of two "gravekeepers", which is enough.
After all, Chou Ke actually didn't trust Zi Ke. He didn't think that Zi Ke would honestly take on the responsibility of continuing the civilization of the stars after the "doomsday".
Zi Ke is ambitious. His ambition is the same as that of the original messenger in the past. He is unwilling to guard the lonely "tombstone" forever after the fall of "Doomsday". They all believe that the world has no hope after "Doomsday", but none of them feel that they have no way out.
In fact, this is what most of the postmen think. During the twelve moments of doomsday in the past, except for the inner demon Mao Ke, the desperate Yin Ke, and Chou Ke, all other postmen held a pride and tried to find their way again in the "doomsday" era with human bodies.
Chou Ke is the truly desperate person. From the beginning to the end, he has regarded this mission as something he must undertake endlessly, so he feels that it is a burden rather than a blessing.
With more gravekeepers and more safeguards, perhaps the situation would improve. This is what Chou Ke has always thought.
Until now.
Under Luo Ling's plan, Xuanyuan'e's planning, and Mao Ke's sacrifice, the Messenger of Doom suffered an unprecedented defeat.
Chou Ke has taken the last step resolutely. Since no one else can take on this responsibility, only he can take this path.
When he made up his mind, all the incarnations at the Doomsday Station turned into phantoms and disintegrated. He lost his ability of "transformation" and completely headed towards the end of "Doomsday".
However, Chou Ke had broken through Luo Ling's previous plan in this regard. It could only be said that she really didn't know Chou Ke well enough.
When this Victoria boundary was completely restored by Luo Ling's power "Savior Witch", a hunchbacked old man stood at the end of the boundary, the edge of the virtual world, quietly looking at everything around him, his eyes cloudy, and he did not speak for a long time.
Luo Ling noticed the old man and his expression quickly became serious.
Needless to say, Luo Ling had seen this old man several times through Xuanyuan E.
It is the second of the twelve quarters of the last day, the hour of ugliness.
She waved her hand and withdrew the power of "Savior Witch". The holy and evil witches disappeared in an instant, and what appeared in front of Chou Ke was just an inconspicuous and gloomy girl.
"...Is it over already?"
Chou Ke reluctantly withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and sighed softly.
“I guess so.”
Luo Ling replied softly that Chou Ke's processing speed was indeed much faster than she had imagined. Almost at the moment when she used her power "Savior Witch" to restore the annihilation boundary, Chou Ke had already appeared, but he had not made any move and just calmly appreciated the scene.
Xuanyuan'e's original purpose was to protect Luo Ling, because Luo Ling needed to use all his strength to display the "Savior Witch" in order to save the boundary. Now is different from the past. When the Victoria boundary was completely fallen, the "Angel of Death" of "Doomsday" and the "Savior Witch" of "Metamorphosis" appeared in the world together, bringing the moments of "Doomsday" and "Metamorphosis".
If Luo Ling wants to restore the boundary, he needs to concentrate and not be disturbed or affected. Xuanyuan E comes to avoid this influence.
The remnants of the Doomsday Messengers who remained in the virtual world were all wiped out by her sword. After seeing the sword edge of the Xuanyuan family, they almost all scrambled to escape, completely unaware that the person wielding the sword edge was actually their former messenger.
"The miracle of 'Metamorphosis' in the past was probably no more than this." Chou Ke couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed softly.
What he was referring to was naturally the fall of "Metamorphosis", the retreat of "Doomsday", and the formation of the four origin places.
"Compared to the Him of the past, there is an incomparable difference, just like the bright moon and firefly, the difference is as great as the difference between heaven and earth."
Luo Ling shook her head. She was not being modest. This was the truth.
Even if it is just on a small scale, the "Savior Witch" displayed by Luo Ling cannot compare with the "Transformation" of the past, and it is extremely difficult to even compare them.
This was a little insight she gained from the fall of the "Kingdom of Qingqiu". Otherwise, the distance between them would have been even greater.
"I see."
Chou Ke sighed again, and a hint of genuine loss flashed across his face.
It's not that he didn't sense this, but he regretted that Luo Ling couldn't give him the answer he expected.
In the past, "Metamorphosis" was so powerful that even "Doomsday" dared to compete with it.
The six paths are still being passed down today.
Even at the time of its fall, it was able to create four places of origin, forcing the "Doomsday" to retreat - that is, one step, and it has not been reborn until now.
But He... was defeated in the end, and lost miserably.
What Chou Ke hoped was that this mysterious girl could work side by side with "Metamorphosis". In this way, there might still be some slim chance.
But... Such a magnificent miracle is still just a "firefly". It shows how powerful "Metamorphosis" was in the past, which makes the horror of "Doomsday" more obvious.
You know, "Metamorphosis" was not just a narrow defeat, but a crushing defeat. At the same time, Chou Ke, who was involved in the road of "Metamorphosis", could not be more clear about this.
However, although it was said that they were involved, in fact, Chou Ke was almost one of the few people with the highest attainments in "Metamorphosis" besides Luo Ling. Even Tianshi Qijian did not dare to say that he was completely better than him.
Chou Ke calmed down his mind and calmed down his slightly sad mood. He cast his cloudy eyes towards Luo Ling, but a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"It seems like we just met not long ago... So, should I call you Miss Cen or Miss Luo Ling?"
Cen Xiangyun was the pseudonym of Luo Ling's puppet at the time, and the reason why Chou Ke was able to determine that it was Luo Ling... He has already demonstrated such means, how could he not be the final savior of the Victorian Revolution in the past
Only Miss Luo Ling can display such impossible miraculous power.
"Since you already know it, why ask again and again?" Luo Ling shrugged and spread his hands helplessly.
This was not the first time Luo Ling stood in front of Chou Ke. The last time, he was following Mao Ke.
Although she was just a doll when she appeared in front of Chou Ke, her face was the same as it is now, and there was no way Chou Ke would not recognize her.
Taking into account the various details in this plan, Chou Ke quickly realized that Mao Ke was the real traitor.
In fact, when Yin Ke revealed herself as a traitor, there were many doubts, because she had always been disabled. Even if there were others helping her secretly, there were still many doubts that did not match up.
More importantly, the attack on the main station was completely unreasonable in every aspect at Yinke, which was why Zike and Chouke found it unbelievable from beginning to end.
It was not until this moment, when Chou Ke realized that Mao Ke was the real traitor, that these doubts were resolved. Mao Ke's sudden madness afterwards was all part of this plan.
However, what Chou Ke understood more clearly was that it was too late to say these things now.
If he had not acted decisively and killed Wei Ke and Xu Ke directly, the situation would probably be even worse.
With the ability of Miss Luo Ling, it is not just about restoring the Victoria border, but even the "Penglai Island" where the situation is still intact is in danger.
As for now, why Chou Ke witnessed this scene but did not take action was because he sensed that there was another powerful existence nearby.
If he attacks Luo Ling, this being will never sit idly by, and the final result will not change at all. At most, he and this being will both suffer losses, and the Victoria Boundary will still return to the world.
If this is the case, it would be better to witness this scene with your own eyes and feel the miracle of the past reappearing.
... In other words, even if this person was not around Luo Ling, Chou Ke would most likely not take action.
He is already in despair, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to see hope, no matter how slim that glimmer of hope is.
The virtual world saved by "Transformation" is the existence of this glimmer of hope.
What a pity... The answer given by Miss Luo Ling made him more determined about the path he should take.
At this moment, he is the only one who can embark on this path from which there is no turning back.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside Luo Ling. Chou immediately looked up, and his eyes quickly became complicated.
"Little sister Yin... No, that's not right. I should call you Xuanyuan'e now, right?"
"I never thought... that I would meet you again in such a scene..."
As the original messenger, Chou Ke had naturally seen Yin Ke's true form before. Even though Yin Ke later entered the promotion ceremony alone and overdrawn himself several times to invite the power of "Doomsday", he ended up in such a miserable state.
What Chou Ke could not have expected was that Yin Xiaomei would actually have the chance to be reborn one day. He felt both relieved and sad in his heart.
He was glad that Yin Ke, whom he had always treated as his daughter, was now like this, but sadly...
The friendship of the past has completely vanished at this moment.
No matter what the outcome of this battle is, there is no going back.
"Ugly Master."
Xuanyuan'e's eyes revealed a bit of complexity, and she raised her hand to salute.
"I never thought that we would end up in such an opposition, but I have already told you that I have found an existence that I will serve with an absolute oath, no matter what the cost."
Chou Ke was silent for a while, looked at Luo Ling, and said softly,
"If it's her, it makes sense."
He had just seen clearly what Luo Ling was doing. Being able to reproduce the miracle of "transformation" in the past, even if it was only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it, was indeed enough to fulfill the responsibility of "gravekeeper".
But... he is not a qualified gravekeeper.
Because she possesses "transformation", she represents hope.
Sometimes, hope is a good medicine that turns the impossible into miracles and allows the world to reproduce unique scenery.
But hope can sometimes be a poison. Holding on to some impossible and false expectations will lead to the saddest end.
Chou Ke always had a good eye for people. He looked straight into Luo Ling's eyes. Even though the girl's temperament was terribly gloomy, he could still read the poison that was turned into hope in her eyes.
That’s right, in Chou Ke’s opinion, the hope in Luo Ling’s hands is poison.
She's... not desperate enough.
Never become a "gravekeeper" watching over loneliness.
"Leave now, Miss Luo Ling." Chou Ke shook his head and said, "For me alone, the fall of Victoria is enough to establish the position of 'Gravekeeper'. I just want to leave the last continuation of civilization for this world. I have no ambition to go far away."
Even among "gravekeepers", there are strong and weak ones. Chou Ke just wants to be a "gravekeeper" and doesn't want to go further.
If it were Zi Ke, he would continue to spread without restraint because he was not satisfied with his own ambitions, until the "end of the world" came, or all the places of origin fell into nothingness and became part of the vast virtual world.
"If it's just what you call a 'gravekeeper', I should be able to take on the role." Luo Ling frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
The reason why she was still willing to talk to Chou Ke at this time was because she could see Chou Ke's sincerity, which was indeed for the end of the world.
But even so, she still couldn't tolerate the consequences of doing so.
"You can't."
Chou Ke, however, looked at Luo Ling with burning eyes.
"Why not? I don't even need any tools to wander in the virtual world." Luo Ling said.
Hearing this, Chou Ke looked at Xuanyuan E deeply and said,
"Xuanyuan'e, is this how she captured you?"
He was very clear about Yin Ke's abilities. As long as he was in the virtual world, he was nearly invincible. Even Zi Ke and Chou Ke working together could not defeat Yin Ke who was fighting with all his strength in the virtual world.
It’s not “not necessarily” but “definitely”.
The Yinke in the virtual world is so powerful.
But what if the source of her strength was snuffed out
It sounds simple to be able to walk in the virtual world without the help of any tools, but Chou Ke knows very well that to be able to do this, either he is completely eroded by "Doomsday" like Yin Ke, or he can make nothingness submit to him.
Judging from Miss Luo Ling's condition and her miraculous means, it should be the latter.
The latter...
Yin Ke's strength could not be fully exerted. She was just a sick and disabled woman and could be captured easily.
Xuanyuan'e didn't say anything and her expression remained calm. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking, so Chouche assumed that she agreed.
"That's just the way it is... not enough." Chou Ke shook his head and sighed faintly, "There is hope in your heart, and this hope will push everything into a worse situation...
"Suppose there is such a day, when the "doomsday" comes, will you imitate the "transformation" of the past and create miracles, or let the "doomsday" wreak havoc, watch the world go to the end, and watch the eternal loneliness as a "gravekeeper"
"I... "
Luo Ling opened his mouth, but hesitated.
The choice she wanted to make... seemed simple enough.
Imitate the "metamorphosis".
However, even the "transformation" has failed. The four origin places have never been the hope of salvation from the beginning to the end. They are just witnesses of this world's funeral.
