There was total silence in the temple; Luo Jinxiao could only hear his own breathing.
She suddenly suspected that she was still dreaming, but the touch around her seemed very real.
"Sister." Luo Ning said.
Luo Jinxiao tried her best to calm down and sort out her thoughts. The man in black turned out to be Luo Ning. No wonder she felt familiar with her. No wonder Luo Ning's behavior in recent days was so strange and unpredictable.
"What's going on?" Luo Jinxiao took a deep breath and raised his eyes to ask, "Did you know this would happen?"
Luo Ning nodded, then shook her head.
"Was it you who caused Qu Weiyin's outburst today?" Luo Jinxiao felt that his throat was trembling when he spoke.
Hearing this, Luo Ning hurriedly shook her head with a trace of sadness on her face: "No, why would I do anything to hurt you? I knew that this day would come, but I never thought it would be so sudden. Someone else is manipulating her affairs."
Hearing that it was not her plan, Luo Jinxiao finally felt relieved, and then asked: "What do you mean by what you just said? Why did you approach me and pretend to be my sister?"
"I'm not pretending. I am your sister. I have always been like this in this life and the last." Luo Ning took two steps forward and approached Luo Jinxiao with a complicated expression.
"Sister, do you know the gods?" she suddenly asked.
God Clan? How could Luo Jinxiao not know? She suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.
Luo Ning was enveloped by the radiance of the Night Pearl, and the black robe hung on her shoulders, which seemed extremely heavy. She looked at Luo Jinxiao and said slowly: "Sister, you are the only and last god in this world."
Luo Jinxiao felt that everything that happened today was too bizarre.
It was so strange that she felt almost no emotion when she heard such absurd words.
"I know you don't believe it, but do you still remember the extra power that suddenly appeared in your body in the Changming Tower?" Luo Ning asked.
Luo Jinxiao recalled that she seemed to hear a very old voice that day. Now she was suddenly awakened and realized that the voice was that of the man in black, Luo Ning.
"Also, what's in the Divine Soul Lamp is not actually the soul, but a wisp of divine power that has never dissipated. It originally belonged to you. If you are not a god, how could you possibly withstand the impact of divine power?"
Luo Jinxiao listened to her words. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed being convinced.
"You said that was your divine power, and you are also a god?" Luo Jinxiao asked.
Luo Ning shook her head slightly: "I am and I am not. There are trash and geniuses in the Immortal World, and the same is true for the Gods. In the Gods, I am the trash. Sister, you are different. You are the glory of the Gods."
"My strength is very weak, and I can't even beat ordinary immortal cultivators. I can only study unorthodox methods. Fortunately, I have the ability to break free from time and bring you back to this time."
"So it was you who brought me back to two thousand years ago?" Luo Jinxiao was shocked. "What about Qu Weiyin? Why was she reborn?"
When Luo Ning heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"There was a slight error in the formation, and I accidentally brought back a lot of people who were present." Luo Ning scratched his head.
Luo Jinxiao was speechless for a while.
Luo Ning coughed softly, then said seriously: "What you don't know is that after you died, Demon Lord Qu Weiyin also died. Later, the Immortal Realm invaded the Demon Realm and slaughtered all the demons. The heavens were furious and punished them. Floods, strong winds, volcanoes, and lightning struck, and all life in the four seas and eight wastelands suffered. It was a horrible sight."
"Just like the destruction of the Gods before, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot resist the will of heaven. Father God had predicted all this at the time. He used all his divine power to save my life and asked me to find your reincarnation and stop the collapse of the world."
"But when I finally found your soul among the countless lives, you had already died in the battle between immortals and demons. I really couldn't think of any other way. I could only use the formation to bring your soul back to two thousand years ago, when the Demon Lord had not yet been born."
"Then, I was reincarnated as the youngest daughter of the Luo family. I wanted to stay by your side and protect you all the way."
After Luo Ning finished speaking, Luo Jinxiao felt that her mind was a mess. She suddenly received too much information and it was difficult for her to digest it.
After thinking hard for a long time, she asked again: "You took me back to before the Demon Lord was born and made me the one without immortal veins. Did you want me to stop Qu Weiyin from becoming a demon? Aren't you afraid that I would die again that night? And why didn't you tell me earlier, but waited until now?"
"No, I just thought that it would be easier to deal with Qu Weiyin who had just been possessed by a demon, so I chose two thousand years ago. My original intention was to let you borrow the body of any dying person, but you were reborn in front of Qu Weiyin. By the time I discovered all this, it was too late. But fortunately, Qu Weiyin was not possessed by a demon, and when I saw you, you already had immortal veins."
"I saw that you were living happily, and I thought that everything would be fine, so I wanted to keep this secret in my heart. But many things happened later, and I found out that it wasn't just you. There were also many demons who came back with you and were still causing trouble. And Qu Weiyin still couldn't escape the fate of being possessed by a demon. Since then, I knew that everything would happen again, and even that catastrophe would happen earlier, maybe not long from now."
"But you are really happy, you and Qu Weiyin truly love each other, and I don't want to break this happiness forcibly, so I can only drag it on and watch everything happen. But today, I really have no choice, no time, sister." Luo Ning said, her eyes dim, and her black eyeballs were surrounded by mist.
"Qu Weiyin has lost her mind, and she has turned into the bloodthirsty Demon Lord again. The people of the Demon Realm wanted to avenge the massacre of the Immortal Realm, and now the situation has reversed, and the lives of the people are still devastated. I have a premonition that soon, the four seas and eight wastelands will suffer the punishment of heaven again."
"My divine power is weak to begin with, and what I have left has been consumed over time. Although my status as a demigod allows me to possess many powers that ordinary people do not have, it is simply not enough to prevent any tragedy from happening. I need you."
As Luo Ning spoke, tears as big as beans fell on her cloak. She then stepped forward and grabbed Luo Jinxiao's arm.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned and stared at Luo Ning.
In a short period of time, she accepted too many things, her mind was full of thoughts, countless joys and sorrows flashed through her mind, and in the end, the only thing left was the word "fate".
"But I am no longer a god, what can I do?" she said.
When Luo Ning heard her ask this, her eyes lit up. She grabbed Luo Jinxiao's hand and dragged her to the center of the temple, saying urgently, "You are a god, and the most powerful god. Everything about you is left in the God's Burial Place and is sealed forever."
Luo Ning waved her hand, and suddenly a white light flashed. The original ruby throne appeared again at the place where she took Wu Jue.
Luo Jinxiao was pulled by her and stumbled to the throne. The throne was shining with a bright light, noble and cold. Even though the hall had collapsed countless times, it was still spotless.
Luo Jinxiao looked at Luo Ning puzzledly.
"This throne is yours. When you die, you will sit on it. It holds everything you have."
"Can I really prevent any catastrophe?" Luo Jinxiao suddenly asked.
"Father God said, only you." Luo Ning said word by word.
Luo Jinxiao sighed. She reached out and touched the throne, but felt nothing. It was really ordinary.
In fact, when she was young in her previous life, she often talked about becoming the most powerful person, benefiting the people, exorcising demons, and protecting her homeland. Now that she really has this opportunity, she knows that it is not a matter of glory.
She turned around to sit down, but was suddenly stopped by Luo Ning.
“Sister. You have to think carefully. Once you sit down, you will have to reshape your divine body. It may be painful and may take a long time.” Luo Ning said softly.
Luo Jinxiao hesitated for a moment, but her thoughts drifted to Qu Weiyin. She believed that Luo Ning would not lie to her, so Qu Weiyin would now really become the Demon Lord.
She must not remember her anymore.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart. She raised her eyes and said, "I want to see her again."
Luo Ning's eyes flashed with compassion, she said: "But the demon world is not easy to enter, even if it is my sister now, it will take some effort. Now the streets are all saying that the demon king has been born, if you don't believe it..."
"I don't disbelieve you." Luo Jinxiao interrupted her, his expression gloomy, "I just want to see her."
Then, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, what's the point of meeting her now? I can't help her now, and I can't help myself either. You are right. If we don't stop the punishment from heaven, we will still die in the end."
After saying that, Luo Jinxiao made up his mind, turned around and sat down.
In an instant, the hazy white mist enveloped her, and she felt her soul retreating in countless lights and shadows. Countless scenes flashed around her, the flow of people in the city, the mountains and rivers, day and night, dynasty after generation.
When the scene stopped abruptly, countless memories suddenly flooded into her mind.
For most of the time in this memory, the scene did not change much. It was just an island, a day, and white clouds floating in the sky.
She sat on the island day after day, looking at the shrinking and blurry ground. There was nothing on the ground. The most she saw was the blue ocean, which was moving slowly at a tiny speed.
Occasionally, gods would come to challenge her for a fight. This was the only moment when she was happy. However, her happiness only lasted for a short while, because within three or four moves, all the gods would be defeated.
Occasionally she would walk down the island to take a look, but all she saw was desolation. Over time, she stopped looking.
As the days passed, the loneliness never diminished. The ocean in the distance gradually shrank, revealing yellow dust and mud. Later, grass and trees grew on the dust and mud, and the blue turned into blue and green.
So when she made an appointment to fight with others, she was happy to blow up the land, thus forming gullies and mountains.
Later, some people who could also move occupied the land, gradually built houses, planted fields, and hunted wild animals. Because of this, the father god forbade her to leave the island again.
Her life became increasingly boring and lonely. She lay in the same place day and night, feeling that sooner or later she would become a giant fossil.
Fortunately, many, many years later, Father God brought her a small ball of flesh. The ball was very fragile and would cry when touched. It was soft and she hated the sound of crying, so she threw it aside and stayed away from the ball of flesh.
Many, many years passed, and the meat ball grew into the same thing as her, but was still very weak and unable to fight. The meat ball said that he was not a pure god, but only had half of the god's blood.
Life became a little more interesting because Routuan could tell jokes and play games, although in her opinion, those games were very boring, especially the ones that involved flipping a rope around and making all kinds of tricks.
She and the meat ball ran all over the island, playing various games endlessly. During this time, many new things appeared on the distant ground that she had not paid much attention to.
The meat ball said that her home was not on this island, but in that distant land. Her mother was not a god, and she wanted to go home.
She just wanted to help her get home.
So, she broke the barrier of the heaven, beat up the guards of the gods, and jumped off the island with the meat ball. However, she was caught up by the Father God halfway through her escape and tied up and brought back to her original place.
The Father God was furious and ordered her to never leave the heaven again. He told her that the meat ball was her sister and neither of them was allowed to leave.
She had long been tired of the boring life as a god, so she broke free from her restraints and challenged the Father God to a duel. The two fought fiercely until the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy. In the end, she was knocked to the ground by the Father God and beaten to death.
During the time she was recovering from her injuries, Routuan cried every day while applying medicine to her. She could not move and could only lie there and listen to Routuan tell her what happened on the island.
She heard that many people were not happy with the Father God's rule and wanted to pull him off the throne. Then somehow, the heavenly realm was divided into two factions, which began fighting and slaughtering.
The meat ball was very scared and hid in the temple, not daring to go out. But she was not afraid. She was tired of living. Anyone who broke into the temple with bad intentions would be killed by her sword. The corpses piled up into a hill and blood flowed like a river.
The battle between gods was enough to turn the world upside down, and the sun and moon lost their light. Later, she heard that the Father God had won after all, and all those who had opposed him were slaughtered. Then, blood rain fell on the earth for a month, dyeing the mountains and rivers red.
She suddenly didn't understand the meaning of her life of tens of millions of years, nor did she understand why her brute strength existed.
Is it to slaughter the weak, or to unify the world
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so on a sunny morning, she sat on the throne and stabbed the sword into her chest.
At that moment, she suddenly understood what a word that was often heard in the world meant.
relief.
Luo Jinxiao, who had been frowning, suddenly calmed down. She tilted her head on the throne, as if she was dead or asleep.
A faint breeze blew in from all around the temple, blowing on her and blowing up her long black hair.
Luo Ning, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly knelt down, rested her head on Luo Jinxiao's knees, and talked to herself with tears in her eyes.
"Sister, you finally remembered me, didn't you?"
"I'll wait for you to wake up."
Outside the silent heaven, everything has fallen into disorder and despair. The demon world suddenly rises, and the Demon Lord is born. Everyone, whether immortal or mortal, is in danger.
The demon world quickly took control of the mortal world and committed numerous evil deeds. The fairy world was unable to withstand the attack, and only a few major sects, led by the Wuhui Sect, were barely holding on.
Wuhui Mountain and Wuzhong City guarded by the Wuhui Sect are considered the last large piece of pure land.
Later, several wars between immortals and demons broke out. Finally, the Demon Lord, who was despised and feared by everyone, appeared in front of the public. Everyone was surprised to find that the bloodthirsty and terrifying Demon Lord in the rumors was Qu Weiyin of the Wuhui Sect.
Nowadays, it is said that wherever Qu Weiyin passed, there would be deafening cries, no grass would grow, and all things would wither.
The world has fallen into dire straits.
Three years passed after these difficult days.
