Luo Ling closed his eyes and felt a heavy sleepiness coming over him. Dreams and the real world were intertwined at this moment.
In a trance, she saw various endings, each leading to endless darkness and desolation.
The decline of hope seems inevitable.
But even so...
"I accept."
Luo Ling said in a deep voice. She also looked at Chou Ke with a solemn look. She knew very well that what she was taking over was a defeated civilization, a dying force, and the last wish left by it after struggling with all its might.
Light and heavy.
What is heavy is the weight of the entire civilization, and what is light is so that it can be thrown away at any time.
"... That's good."
All the ugly wrinkles were smoothed out, and a smile blossomed on the old face, showing an unprecedented ease.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the mission of "gravekeeper" would fall on this girl.
He thought that under the "Watching over Civilization" plan, more "grave keepers" would be born, but he failed to do so.
I also thought that I had chosen to curb my despair and take this step, even if I was alone, in order to make the "tombstone" last forever, but I ended up failing.
And now... .
There is only one "gravekeeper", and it is not you.
In fact, you may not necessarily take this path.
But he truly felt what hope was.
This was something he had never felt in all his years.
"This is our final stop, and my life's work is all here."
Chou Ke drew out a force and floated towards Luo Ling.
The Doomsday Terminal is the original "tombstone", and after countless years of construction, it has become the most core fortress of the Doomsday Messenger.
Although all the doomsday messengers stationed at the main station had died in an instant due to the previous leak of information at Mao Ke and Su Wan's unexpected attack, there were no problems with the main station itself.
After all, unlike other branch stations, the main station's mission after its birth was to survive the coming of "doomsday" and maintain its own existence, and it was not intended to be used as a weapon.
Although when the real "doomsday" comes, Doomsday Terminal will most likely be vulnerable and collapse, but at least it will not be a problem to fight against "The End of Columbia".
It can be said that this is the true essence of the Doomsday Messenger.
Unfortunately, Doomsday Terminal is not independently controlled by Chou Ke. Zi Ke and Xuanyuan E both have partial control over it. Even now, none of the three of them can take it away from each other and can only hand it over voluntarily.
After all, who could have thought that Xuanyuan'e, the original messenger, would betray
Of course, if you count carefully, this ugly moment can also be considered a betrayal.
The one who betrayed was Zi Ke's messenger of doom.
Luo Ling stretched out his hands and gently touched this power.
In an instant, a magnificent fortress appeared in her vision, existing quietly in the virtual world.
"Doomsday Station..."
At the same time, immeasurable information flooded into her mind. These were all the research on "Doomsday" and "Transformation" that Chou Ke had spent his entire life on.
Including mysterious cemeteries, ancient ruins, and more...
This information is huge, mottled and complex. Compared with it, the information Luo Ling had previously obtained from the remnants of the mysterious cemetery is just a drop in the bucket.
The complete "Watching Civilization" plan is also included in this information.
Feeling Chou Ke's expectant gaze, Luo Ling suddenly felt a heaviness on his body.
The old Valhalla faced the disaster of "Doomsday" and was completely defeated after trying its best, leaving behind "Hall of Valor" as a legacy, which was inherited by the original twelve messengers.
The original Twelve Messengers, based on the "Valhalla" plan, developed into the current large-scale Doomsday Messengers and the "Watching Civilization" plan to welcome the end of the world.
Now, this plan has fallen into Luo Ling's hands.
only...
"I can't guarantee that I will make the choice you want." Luo Ling whispered, "As you said, I don't want to miss even a glimmer of hope."
Hearing Luo Ling's answer, Chou Ke grinned, and his body, which had been holding on tightly, finally softened a little, and he fell straight back.
Xuanyuan'e wanted to reach out and catch Chou Ke, but Chou Ke raised his hand to stop her.
"It doesn't matter," Chou Ke murmured, slowly closing his eyes, "It's all the same."
As he finished speaking, his old body could no longer hold on and began to collapse inch by inch.
The power of "Doomsday" tore apart everything he had, turning it into nothingness.
In just a blink of an eye, only a little nothingness remained on the ground, which was gradually spreading and still eroding the land.
Luo Ling watched this scene silently. She raised her hand and used the power of "Witch of Savior" to reverse this "doomsday" and transform it into "transformation".
The pitch-black nothingness disappeared at this moment, and turned into dazzling light that spread out. Faintly, the kind smile of the hunchbacked old man seemed to emerge.
"Goodbye, Master Ugly."
After watching the light fade away, Xuanyuan'e sighed softly, stabbed the sword in her hand into the ground where Chou Ke had originally been, and then loosened her grip on the hilt.
The straight sword blade stood in this deep pit like a tombstone without words. This was the Xuanyuan family's simple funeral on the battlefield, whether for enemy or friend.
"Ms. Luo Ling, next..."
Xuanyuan E said this, but before she finished her words, she saw Luo Ling's sleeping profile.
There was no other way. After this series of hard work, Luo Ling was already mentally exhausted. She just forced herself to see the Ugly Hour off. After the Ugly Hour dissipated, she instantly fell into a deep sleep, and even a slight snoring sound was heard.
“... ..”
Xuanyuan'e looked at Luo Ling's profile, her slightly fluttering eyelashes were clearly visible in the scattered light. Even though she was cold-hearted, she felt a slight, indescribable throbbing in her heart when she saw this scene.
This throbbing feeling is very strange.
She never seemed to feel anything.
"Forget it, let's go back first."
Xuanyuan'e collected her thoughts, as if she had sensed something, and her eyes subconsciously looked in a certain direction.
"This is... .."
Very familiar.
So familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar.
"Xuanyuan family."
They arrived fast enough, because at this moment the Messenger of Doom had not been completely defeated, and there was still a lot of power left that could not be ignored.
A complex expression flashed across Xuanyuan'e's face, mixed with a hint of nostalgia.
But she had no intention of staying here until the Xuanyuan family discovered her existence.
Xuanyuan'e knew very well that her responsibility had not been fulfilled yet. Even if she had to be tried, it should not be at this time. She should at least wait until Miss Luo Ling spoke.
Without saying a word, she directly opened the portal to "Starry Victoria" - before coming here to face the ugly moment, Luo Ling had already opened the permissions for her in advance and was ready to be seriously injured and dying.
-A white light flashed, and the two petite figures disappeared in an instant.
After a while, the Xuanyuan family's team finally arrived. It was not Xuanyuan Muyan's virtual world fleet, but the Xuanyuan Guards.
They explored and recorded the surroundings. They were puzzled at first about the restored Victoria boundary, and soon discovered the deep pit in the center of the battlefield. After a brief alert and investigation, they finally stepped into it.
"This sword... seems to have been made using the ancient sword-making techniques of the Xuanyuan family? Who made it?"
"Also, it was clearly a funeral, but there was no body... Could it be that the traitor Yin Ke did it?"
"... ...
The intense investigation continued, and soon pieces of information were sent back to the Xuanyuan family headquarters.
... ...
A dreamless sleep.
Perhaps it was because she had experienced too many dreams during this period of time, and Luo Ling's mind was filled with complex and mottled information, so that she didn't even have a dream during this tired sleep.
When she opened her eyes dazedly, she thought she was still on the battlefield. She subconsciously raised her hand and waved, wanting to continue lying on Xuanyuan'e's back, but she touched nothing.
It was not until her vision became clear and she saw the familiar ceiling above her head that Luo Ling realized that she had returned home.
"Hiss..."
Luo Ling sat up, holding his slightly swollen and aching head, and rubbed his temples for a while before he finally felt better.
The information that Chou Ke sent out at the last moment was really too much. After all, it was all his life's work, not just a plan to "guard civilization."
He even has Chou Ke’s most signature ability, “transform into thousands of forms”.
Luo Ling took a quick look at this ability. Although she could also create flesh and blood puppets, these were made with the help of Puppet Rumor and the Blood Lord's abilities. They could not be called incarnations but should be called puppets.
Chou Ke has countless incarnations, and he uses his "transformation" ability to create a real person.
The incarnated person has past experiences, his own personality, and his own hobbies. Apart from being an incarnation, he is just like a real human being.
No matter what abilities he used, including "the other shore" and "this life", he could not find any flaws.
However, Chou Ke seems to seldom use his thousands of incarnations completely, but simply performs the incarnation, which weakens the authenticity a lot.
Since it involves the path of "metamorphosis", Luo Ling is indeed able to master it, but her understanding of the ability of "metamorphosis" is only half-understood, so if she wants to truly use this ability, she will need to spend some time and effort.
In addition, Chou Ke also possesses a pirated version of the "devouring" power. Luo Ling simply used it and quickly gained control of it.
Compared with the genuine products, the "devouring" effect of pirated products is much worse. They can only devour but cannot be utilized.
Of course, it is not without advantages. When Luo Ling uses the pirated version of "Devouring", it will not be like the original version, making her existence more like "doomsday", that is to say, it will not cause evil spirit transformation.
“It can still be useful occasionally.” Luo Ling thought.
The legacy of Chou Ke is really too rich. In addition to the abilities he possesses, there is also the casting method of the "tombstone", which is the Doomsday substation, related information about the mysterious cemetery... and so on.
It was difficult for Luo Ling to fully digest it in a short period of time. Just by briefly studying the ability, several hours had passed.
Just then, there were several knocks on the door.
Luo Ling temporarily put aside his research on Chou Ke's legacy and looked up and said,
“Come in.
"Um."
It was Xuanyuan'e's voice.
With a creaky sound, the wooden door was pushed open.
The white-haired girl strode in, holding a bowl of porridge with a few eggs in it.
She took out a lazy table and placed it on Luo Ling's bed, then put the porridge on it.
Then he pulled a stool nearby and sat down, resting his chin on his hand, looking at Luo Ling with a smile.
"Ms. Luo Ling, eat quickly."
Luo Ling stared blankly at Xuanyuan'e's dazzling operation, and then came to his senses, pointing at the porridge and eggs in shock.
"You did this?"
"Don't you like it?" Xuanyuan E showed a puzzled look, "I asked Sister Su Wan, you should have eaten it every day when you were in school?"
Su Wan... Sister
Luo Ling blinked her eyes. Didn't her sister always like to say that she was not even thirty years old? Xuanyuan E must be at least a thousand years old!
Well, if we count based on Puppet Yao's age, my sister can indeed be called "sister" by Xuanyuan E.
only...
"It's true that I eat it every day." Luo Ling nodded, but was a little confused, "It doesn't mean that I like it."
"How about I change it?"
Xuanyuan'e stood up and was about to take it away.
"No, just eat something to fill your stomach. Anyway... I'm not that hungry.
