But it was precisely because of their old age and death that Chi Nu realized the strangeness of the city of Chaoge.
Somehow, she learned the truth from these outsiders.
Luo Ling looked at the last few letters in his hand, sighed softly, and started reading again.
“Another outsider died, and he reappeared after his death, becoming a homeless man in the east of the city. Like the short guy, he won’t yell at me anymore.
"It turns out that everyone in the city is dead, so their appearance won't change. Am I... dead
"Wait, Luo Ling... is she dead too
"Luo Ling can talk, laugh, cook unpalatable meals, and even hold my hand to watch the sunrise on the city wall...
"But, did all this really happen? Is it just my imagination? Sister Yaoji, if I can still contact you, I can know the truth..."
After reading this, Luo Ling suddenly understood that Chi Nu had lost contact with Yao Ji halfway through. The reason why she kept writing letters was probably because she was thinking of sending all the letters when she could get in touch again.
As for why we kept writing letters even though we hadn’t been able to get in touch, it was probably because we were used to it.
Luo Ling looked at the last letter in her hand. She had roughly guessed the content of the letter, but she still opened it and started reading.
"Outsiders say that after death, one must be placed in a coffin. I don't know what a coffin looks like, but they say it's a long wooden box that can hold a person.
"Outsiders begged me to put him in a coffin after his death and not let him wander around the city as a wandering ghost.
"I made a lot of these big wooden boxes and put all the people in the city in them. They lay quietly in them. I think... they are resting in peace now."
According to the narration of outsiders, Akanna finally understood the meaning of life and death and made the final decision.
But...
She still got one thing wrong.
"I'm not dead..."
Luo Ling curled the corners of his mouth and continued reading.
“Luo Ling is dead, no matter if she woke up one hundred and eighty-nine years ago, no matter if that beautiful memory really existed, Luo Ling is dead, because she stayed in this ghost town with me.
"In the battle with the Red Emperor's daughter, Sister Yao Ji was seriously injured. Luo Ling must have also been fatally injured at that time. She was worried that I would be sad because of her death, so she used the excuse that she was sleeping...
"It's okay, I have accepted this fact now."
The last few words were blurry, as if they were wet.
Luo Ling looked around and found that the signs of destruction in the room seemed to have started in front of this desk.
Maybe at this moment, Akane was too sad and her abilities went out of control, causing such destruction...
Luo Ling felt inexplicably guilty, but she was helpless about it. God knows how she calculated the duration of her sleep, which was getting longer each time...
Finally, he finished reading all the letters, but Luo Ling had no idea about Chi Nu's whereabouts.
However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know where Chi Nu is. Anyway, she knows where Yao Ji's base camp is. Even if she can't find Yao Ji there, she will definitely be able to contact her.
Last time, Luo Ling did not leave the ghost town of Chaoge because he wanted to accompany Chi Nu, and even if he found Yao Ji, it would be of no use.
"Yao Ji..."
A complex thought flashed through Luo Ling's mind, but he suppressed it.
After she calmed down, she left Chaoge City directly.
The city wall of Chaoge City remained the same as before. Luo Ling glanced upward. In her memory, she and Chi Nu had sat on it to watch the sunrise a few days ago, but now everything has changed.
Even the small stream at the city gate has dried up and cracked, let alone catching some small fish.
However, the problem now is that Luo Ling does not know the exact location of Chaoge City, and the map in her hand only shows the Great Wilderness.
Therefore, in order to determine the exact location, Luo Ling first explored to a farther location, trying to find other traces.
For several days, Luo Ling only saw a desolate land. He didn't even see a human figure and had no clues at all. It was not until three days later that Luo Ling finally found a long-abandoned checkpoint.
When I walked in, it was already empty and clean.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, but fortunately the teleportation array was still intact. After trying several times, Luo Ling finally started it.
Almost all teleportation arrays in all levels can lead to the front line, and this one is no exception.
But to Luo Ling's surprise, after a moment of trance, she found herself in nothingness.
Fortunately, she now appears in her real body, and the virtual world is almost the same as her hometown.
From the few traces left in the virtual world, it can be seen that this was the previous frontier fortress, but it has been affected by the spreading ghost and god realm.
After realizing this, Luo Ling's expression darkened slightly.
It seems that even in the "legendary" land, the realm of ghosts and gods has been spreading.
She had no choice but to keep retreating, and only after retreating for a long time could she see some light.
After escaping from the virtual world, Luo Ling returned to the wilderness that she was quite familiar with.
But... there's still no one to be seen.
Fortunately, after returning to the Great Wilderness, Luo Ling could finally use the previous map.
After a quick inspection, Luo Ling felt a little uneasy. At least one third of the Great Wilderness had been swallowed up by the realm of ghosts and gods. What on earth had happened to lead to such a terrible result
However, by coincidence, Luo Ling discovered that the abandoned city where she first came to this time point was not far away.
Luo Ling suddenly felt a little emotional. For her, it was only a few days, about a month, but for this place of the past... it had already changed a lot.
Following his memory, Luo Ling walked towards the location of the abandoned city.
She did not expect to find Yao Ji or Chi Nu in the abandoned city, but when she got closer, a fog suddenly spread and blinded her eyes.
At the same time, a light and distant singing voice rang in my ears.
The melody of the light singing was beautiful, but it was unclear what was being sung. Instead, a heavy sadness slowly came over, and even Luo Ling couldn't help shedding a few tears.
For some reason, Luo Ling always felt that this scene was very familiar.
Her heart tightened a little, so she quickened her pace, broke through the fog, and continued walking towards the abandoned city.
Finally, Luo Ling arrived at this abandoned city, but found that it had been razed to the ground.
A small sapling stood among the ruins. A holy and gentle woman leaned slightly against the sapling, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleeping.
Next to the woman was another breathtakingly beautiful woman. She was barefoot, sitting on the ruins, softly singing an unknown song.
What was even more eye-catching was that there was a sword stuck in the ground next to the beautiful woman.
A sword that Luo Ling was quite familiar with.
The Human Emperor Sword.
In the diffuse mist, Luo Ling approached with difficulty. A strong sense of déjà vu increasingly overlapped with the scene in front of her. She squinted her eyes, searching for memories in her mind, but at the same time she became more and more panicked.
Finally, when the beautiful woman noticed someone approaching and cast her amber eyes at him, Luo Ling felt like he was electrocuted and his whole body went numb.
Because she finally remembered.
"Goddess of Heaven, Ba..."
At this moment, the figures of Chi Nu and Tian Nu Ba completely overlapped.
Previously, Luo Ling had seen Tiannv Ba almost every time in a dream or under special circumstances. She could not remember Tiannv Ba's face at all and could only retain a beautiful impression.
It was not until this moment that her memory came back to her and she was shocked to realize that the goddess Ba who had made her miserable before was actually Chi Nu.
"Luo Ling..."
Chi Nu looked straight at Luo Ling, but smiled foolishly.
"Is that you?"
"Are you awake or am I dreaming..."
She slowly stood up, and a light and pleasant bell rang, floating towards Luo Ling.
The soft body fell into his arms, but it was terribly cold.
"You are so warm, Luo Ling." Chi Nu said softly, "It's like being alive.
"But now, Sister Yao Ji is dead..."
Yao Ji is dead.
There was a roar like thunder, but Luo Ling remained silent.
She looked at the small sapling that Yao Ji was leaning on, and felt extremely familiar with it.
"The omen of the time..."
"So, this is the way to salvation you found?"
Luo Ling stretched out his hand, but let it drop helplessly.
At this time, Chi Nu gradually came to her senses. She felt the reality in her arms, and her delicate body kept trembling.
She held Luo Ling's face, and her amber pupils seemed to be trembling.
Finally, a few lines of tears slowly flowed down the beautiful cheeks of the naked woman.
"Luo Ling, Luo Ling... I have waited so long for you."
"Three hundred and sixty-five years later, you finally woke up..."
Chapter 129: Long Separation (5k)
The graceful woman lay on her side next to a sapling, her peaceful expression as if she was in a deep sleep, but she could not be awakened no matter what.
Luo Ling walked over slowly and stretched out his hand to touch Yao Ji lightly.
In an instant, a memory followed her touch and fell directly into her mind.
Scenes flashed through Luo Ling's mind one after another like a revolving lantern. She gradually fell silent, until finally, she sighed softly.
"This is the result..."
This is Yao Ji's memory. She stripped away everything from her, leaving only the eternal sleeping mind and the empty shell of her body.
Three hundred and ninety-five years ago, after completely defeating the Red Emperor's daughter and Luo Ling falling into a deep sleep, Yao Ji, holding the Human Emperor Sword, immediately began to integrate the power of the entire "Legendary" land.
In the process, she gradually discovered the secret of the Human Emperor Sword and began to understand why her second sister was able to make such a decision in the past.
The Human Emperor Sword is indeed an extremely powerful weapon. The reason why it is named the Human Emperor Sword is not just because it was forged by the three famous emperors.
-Yan, Huang, Chiyou.
Among the core powers sealed in it that even Luo Ling could not "swallow", the most important function was closely related to the entire "legendary" land.
Those who hold the Human Emperor Sword can influence the entire "Legendary" land through their own power.
In other words...
You can set a set of binding rules.
This is the power that can involve gods, of which the power of outer gods is only a part. More importantly... the forging of this sword also contains a gift from heaven, namely "transformation".
The Empress Cixi used this restrictive rule to build a powerful army for the "legendary" land that could resist the disasters of ghosts and gods like the Battle of Zhuolu in the past.
Due to the many limitations of this divine power, the Empress Chichi could not bestow blessings directly, and could only use a roundabout and hugely sacrificial method to achieve her ultimate goal.
After understanding the true meaning of the Human Emperor Sword, Yao Ji also had similar thoughts, but after hesitating for a while, she finally gave up because of Luo Ling's advice before he fell asleep.
However, just as Luo Ling expected, although Yao Ji gave up using the rules to strengthen the human race, she still left a lot of troops stationed there to guard the edge of the ghost and god realm day and night.
She traveled around the world with the Human Emperor Sword, looking for the rules that belonged to her.
As for the situation of the naked lady...
In Yao Ji's memory, there is endless regret.
Also at the time point after Luo Ling fell into sleep, after Chi Nu's transformation into a ghost was irreversible, Yao Ji took the risk of telling fortunes for her one last time.
The target of the divination is Chi Nu's real name.
That’s right, in fact even Yao Ji didn’t know Chi Nu’s real name. She just sensed the danger and therefore never touched it.
It was not until the divination results came out that Yao Ji felt panic and helplessness for the first time in her life.
The real name of Chi Nu is "Ba".
The "ba" from the goddess "ba".
