Volume I: The World of Great Controversies Prologue
Between the distant stars, the last pure land of the entire Star Spirit World. This is the holiest place in the Astral Spirit World, an existence far beyond human comprehension, and only those who are selected to meet the qualifications can enter it.
The number of qualified people chosen is very rare, and there will only be one at most in thousands of years, but everyone who enters the distant stars will create a peerless legend.
But now, the distant stars were crowded with people, and most of them were weak women and children, with desperate and helpless eyes, hugging each other and looking at the boundless black tide that was constantly pouring towards this last pure land.
Beyond the distant stars, a flickering cloud of fiery red light and shadow blocked the Kuroshio Tide. The wave of darkness fluttered on the fiery red light and shadow, like water drops falling on a red-hot soldering iron, and quickly dissipated, but the fiery red light and shadow would also sway violently, as if it would be extinguished at any time, and in any case, it also effectively stopped the Kuroshio from advancing.
Looking closely, in the fiery red light and shadow, a young man with frosty eyebrows and cold and hard eyes, holding a huge shield burning with dark red magic flames in his hand, covered in blood, and a dragon scale armor had already cracked countless wounds.
Behind him, there were several young people from different races, each of them in extremely poor condition, most of them could not even stand, their chests rose and fell violently, and the gasps in their mouths were even more frightening...... Only a man who was also a human could barely stand on his sword, but the muscles in every part of his body were trembling slightly, perhaps from exhaustion or fear.
"Lin Yao, in my place, it's time for you to take a break. The man standing with his sword took a breath and stood firm.
However, Lin Yao, who was holding the giant shield at the forefront, did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing, his eyes were staring at the front like two cold blades, and he replied without turning his head: "The star in your hand has not been exerted to the extreme, if you can break through the boundary, there are still infinite possibilities, maybe you can turn the tide of the battle, I will fight for you for a while......"
When the man standing with his sword heard Lin Yao's words, his body suddenly shook, and he almost didn't stand firm, and immediately shouted: "No, you are the shield of the world, if even you fall, our fate will be a dead end!"
He knew very well that Lin Yao's current state was not much stronger than these people behind him, or even worse, he was almost exhausted, and he could only last another half an hour at most, unless he used that extremely forbidden magic technique to exchange time at the cost of ten thousand catastrophes.
Moreover, Lin Yao's words just now, the intention was also obvious, it was completely like he was explaining the aftermath, and he wanted to entrust the fate of the Star Spirit World to him, and it was impossible for him to agree.
Because Lin Yao is the current leader of the Star Spirit World, both in strength and spirit, as long as Lin Yao, the flame shield known as the shield of the world, does not fall, there will be a trace of steadfastness in everyone's hearts, which no one can replace.
More importantly, because of his debt to Lin Yao. He and Lin Yao were both people who came to the Star Spirit World from another world, they should have become friends who understood each other and shared weal and woe, but due to some misunderstandings, Lin Yao was deeply wronged, and instead of reaching out to help, he did not investigate the truth of the matter, but participated in the expulsion of Lin Yao, making the originally easy-going and mellow, optimistic and cheerful Lin Yao become a completely opposite character.
However, in the face of the black tide that invaded the world, the prophecy of looming destruction step by step, every time he stepped forward to save everyone, it was Lin Yao, who had been alone for a long time and suffered from cold hostility, and Lin Yao, who should have had no good feelings for the world.
"I am a shield, and because I am a shield, what I have to do is to protect you, and to fight back against this kind of thing, it is long overdue to hand it over to you as companions. Lin Yao said with a long sigh of relief, and after saying this, he seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
The other people who were sitting on the ground were also nervous when they heard this, and they all understood what Lin Yao meant, but they didn't even have the strength to speak, they couldn't stop it, they could only respect Lin Yao's decision.
"No, I'm not ready, every time we can win, it's because of you, if you really fall, the fate of this world will really be as the prophecy says......" He shook his head hesitantly, holding Xing Cha tightly.
"Looking forward, instead of looking back on the past, perhaps, we can't change our fate, but fate, it's up to us to decide, if it's you, I believe, you should be able to seize that moment of opportunity and subvert it in one fell swoop!" Lin Yao turned his head slightly, his gaze softened a lot, but he was also very firm.
Although he didn't want to agree with Lin Yao's words, he couldn't refute it, so he could only look at the long sword star in his hand hesitantly, because Lin Yao didn't miss every judgment, but his own decisions repeatedly put his companions in danger, so his heart was full of doubts, he had already reached the limit, could he really break the boundaries that Lin Yao said and give full play to the true power of Xing Yao...... Even so, will he really be able to overcome the prophecy of destruction?
"Hmph, Lin Yao! You are too smart, the wood is already in the boat, the prophecy cannot be changed!!" In the boundless dark wave, there was a sneer full of sarcasm and disdain, in his opinion, everything Lin Yao and the others did was still moving according to the trajectory of the prophecy, and all resistance was in vain.
"You don't deserve to speak in her voice!" When Lin Yao heard this, he seemed to be aroused by the anger in his heart, roared wildly, and suddenly released all the power of his body, and a huge demonic flame erupted from the dark red giant shield, turning into a hideous true dragon, tearing the black tide in front of him, revealing a girl's face composed of countless strange eyes, but soon the black tide gathered again and turned into a boundless darkness again.
Seeing that familiar face, Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, and then snorted lightly: "Becoming like her, are you afraid? A guy who has no heart will also be afraid, but you will never understand what it means that man will conquer the sky, and prophecy can be changed." ”
"I'll leave the rest to you. Lin Yao explained, and then chanted a spell softly in his mouth, the dragon scale armor and the dark red giant shield in his hand instantly shattered, and the energy that burst out was perfectly connected with the rhythm of the Star Spirit World, radiating towards the black tide, and it seemed that even the entire Star Spirit World could be torn apart.
Suddenly, the surrounding black tide quickly retreated, and at the same time, Lin Yao's body also completely collapsed, and his soul was swept into the fading black tide without any resistance.
The young man who looked at the stars but fell into doubt immediately came to his senses, he saw Lin Yao's soul being swept into the black tide, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a thought suddenly rose, and then he hurriedly mobilized all his strength and jumped towards Lin Yao.
In an instant, he rushed into the dissipating black tide, and with the help of the power of the stars, his hand grabbed Lin Yao's increasingly dim soul.
At the same time, the surrounding black tide also easily overwhelmed him and Lin Yao, devouring their flesh, vitality, soul, and consciousness, as long as this darkness is directly infected with any substance, it will be like a bone appendage, no matter what, it will not be able to break free, there is only a dead end.
"No, no, no, I can't let these rude black goo monsters slaughter, the last decision I've made in my two lives, let me do it once!!" He used the last shred of consciousness he had to grasp Xing Qi with one hand and Lin Yao with the other, quietly chanting a sad incantation......
