A month, although it was enough to erase most of Xuanyuan Yu's vigilance against Blue, did not reduce his hostility in the slightest, and Blue didn't seem to have any intention of repairing the relationship or getting along with Xuanyuan Yu, but rather preferring to find fault, and enjoyed interrupting Xuanyuan Yu's ambiguous time with Lin Ziyue. These two people were not thick-skinned enough, and when someone on the side looked at them with relish, Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu were extremely reserved, where was the mood for you and me.

Lin Ziyue knew that under Blue's calm expression towards Xuanyuan Yu, he actually hid a lot of opinions, so she decided to talk to him privately.

On a cloudless night, Lin Ziyue boarded the deck after dinner, and still followed Blue behind him as these days, since Blue got on the boat, he was wearing the Baolai Chamber of Commerce steward clothes that Qian Qiu brought him, and he looked more like a personal butler, and the proud bookish anger before was also a lot lighter, and now there was more approachable simplicity between his eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Ziyue asked Xuanyuan Yu to go back to the cabin first to get some food and go down to see Meng Li and Bo Tisi, these two guys always like to get together recently, and they don't know what they are discussing, so they don't want to come up for dinner.

Looking up at the long galaxy, the universe here is naturally not the universe that Lin Ziyue is familiar with, she tried to find the constellations in her impression, there is no similar place, the Big Dipper does not exist here, the eyes of those sky are very distant, so that Lin Ziyue suddenly feels incredible, how far is this place from the earth she is familiar with? Do you want to cross the visible universe or even the edge of the universe all the time? For the first time, she felt that she was so far away from that real hometown.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, Lin Ziyue was looking at the stars, but Blue was looking at her, her eyes were always so indifferent, but with a kind of special care from the elders to the younger ones, which made her feel a little embarrassed. Lin Ziyue had no choice but to withdraw her gaze looking up at the galaxy and asked first, "You seem to look down on Xuanyuan Yu very much?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the dislike of older people for younger people. He wasn't steady enough, he wasn't strong enough, he wasn't erudite enough, and he wasn't even ruthless enough. ”

"But he has always supported me, stood by my side, his position is always on my mind, even if he doesn't like my decision, he will respect my ideas. Isn't that a qualified person?"

Blue said lightly: "I think he's still very far away. ”

The implication of this sentence is even more obvious, that is, she feels that Xuanyuan Yu is not worthy of Lin Ziyue, which makes Lin Ziyue a little gloomy, because she has never felt that the relationship is worthy of whom, and in terms of qualifications, it is more like a transaction than a relationship.

"You've never thought about what you can become?"

"I don't want to be a god, and I've never thought about being the master of any world, because it's too naïve and ridiculous. ”

Blue's opinion is diametrically opposed: "Lin Ziyue, if you continue to grow, you are enough to have that ability." If you want to save more people, you can only gain more strength and go to a higher level. ”

Lin Ziyue stopped talking, there was no way to refute these views, even if she had the heart to deny it, but there was no way to change the toughness in Blue's words...... After all, he's just stating the facts.

"Freedom is also something that can only be possessed if you are strong enough, let alone the freedom of the first or even the sixth realm. ”

Blue left these words, turned around and walked back to the cabin, leaving the rest of his thoughts to Lin Ziyue himself, he saw that the deepest potential in Lin Ziyue was not her magic and spiritual power, nor the inheritance of that cane or the power fluctuation of the divine horn, but her thinking, which could always make Lin Ziyue sway back and forth on the line between reasonable and crazy, and then take the action that best suited her heart.

And there's always room to leave goodwill inside.

But Blue doesn't want her to be kind all the time, because Lin Ziyue's kindness is still a small kindness, and he doesn't want to see her become a saint and practice great goodness, because such characters often end badly, and she is absolutely reluctant to let the people around her bury her actions.

If you want to jump out of fate, you must first see fate.

Originally, this was a conversation between Lin Ziyue and Blue, but it became a question that Blue gave Lin Ziyue.

What exactly do you want to be?

Let Lin Ziyue once again confirm her own path - human or god?

Is it to spend joys, sorrows, and sorrows with sentient beings in the red dust, or to ascend the high altar and help sentient beings at any time when thousands of people chase them?

Lin Ziyue found that she couldn't choose the answer, so she looked at it, it seemed that none of them were what she wanted, and she couldn't make her feel at ease, she wanted the Six Realms to no longer be bound and the fate of all beings to be free, but she never thought of becoming a new rule-maker herself.

She looked up, it wasn't like the earth, there was no light pollution, no smog over the city, and it was on the vast sea, and there were no clouds hanging around tonight.

Lin Ziyue looked up at the vast sea of stars, as if she saw the reflection of all beings in the sky.

But one thing remains the same.

Behind the starlight, there is an abyssal darkness.

……

Someone walked to Lin Ziyue's side and stopped beside her, Lin Ziyue vaguely felt that after this person noticed her actions, he was looking up at the starry sky like himself.

She thought it was Xuanyuan Yu who had finished delivering dinner or Blue who had turned back, but it wasn't.

After Lin Ziyue looked at the sky for a long time before she was reluctant to look away, she saw the person standing beside her.

It was the cook on the boat, her chubby figure was tightly wrapped in an apron, and there was a lot of oil and water sprinkled on it, and she even held a spatula in her hand, which was still steaming, exuding the fresh fragrance of fried squid. While Lin Ziyue looked at her, she also turned her head sideways to look at Lin Ziyue, instead of the starlight in the sky, this was not a tacit understanding, but an invisible perception.

Lin Ziyue often saw this cook, because she often sent some vegetables and fruits to the kitchen to add food to the sailors. Scurvy is a big deal in the sea, although the Bora Chamber of Commerce has prepared some potted citrus, but fresh and rich vegetables and fruits are the best antidote, not to mention that the things in Lin Ziyue's storage space will never spoil. The cook has a good temper, always smiling, always likes to cut more meat and put more seasonings in Lin Ziyue's dish, every time Lin Ziyue greets her and chats, she has to ask a few words about what she likes to eat, she can prepare more for this good lady on the boat, even when no one usually tells her, she will send some ginger soup in Meng Li's room from time to time, and often bring a piece or a cut fruit plate for Lin Ziyue.

But the person standing in front of Lin Ziyue now is definitely not the warm-hearted aunt who usually tells her to eat more, don't always blow the wind on the bow of the boat, and is easy to blow colds.

Lin Ziyue looked at the round and festive face, and nodded cautiously: "I didn't expect to see you." ”

The cook tilted her head, and her usual eager and sincere eyes were only dark at this time, which looked very similar to the night behind the starlight: "I shouldn't have come either, he doesn't like me coming, but I think it's necessary to see it with my own eyes." Especially after the question of the Son of Heaven just now, it is necessary for me to communicate with you with a specific dialogue. ”

"What do you want to talk about?" Lin Ziyue looked at the main system and asked.

The main system borrowed the cook's body at this time, which was not difficult for her, but the change from invisible to tangible made her unable to adapt well to the various feelings brought by the "body", so she sat down directly, and then seemed to remember something, and beckoned to the opposite of her, like a host who welcomed guests to sit down.

So Lin Ziyue also sat down according to her, not caring that her clothes would be dirty, and she didn't even wipe them.

"Isn't it a good place to sit here? I think it's a little wet under my pants...... If that's what it feels like, it seems too cold here, where do you usually sit?"

"Bow of the boat, I'll wipe it. But I usually prefer to sit in a chair or bed, and the soft and warm touch will make people feel more relaxed. If you have something like a sofa in your concept, that's the most comfortable position. ”

"I'm sorry I couldn't treat you well, but I've already given you a lot of good treatment. ”

"What are we to you?"

"Originally, you were an exchange student from another world, but now you are not a player, but a visitor who can tear down the master's house. ”

Lin Ziyue sighed: "I'm really sorry for being uninvited." ”

The cook frowned, she seemed to be still familiar with the human facial expressions, "I don't know why you're sorry, because I invited you in." ”

"You...... That's right, what does the Book of the World have to do with you?"

"Kindred, offspring, superior. ”

Lin Ziyue was surprised: "You just said it directly?"

"Otherwise, it's not a matter of permission. ”

Speechless for a while, Lin Ziyue was speechless, and the main system attached to the cook was observing her, sensing the emotions and energy coming out of Lin Ziyue's body at close range.

Lin Ziyue could only open her mouth to break the silence: "What are you here for?"

"In the very place where you entered, I sensed a power that could destroy me. ”

Lin Ziyue was taken aback: "Did a few of us trigger some seals?"

The main system shook his head, and made a troubled expression with difficulty, and the corners of his drooping eyes and mouth made the cook's face look a little demented: "That's a power that I can't calculate and observe, and if it weren't for his own sudden revelation for unknown reasons, I wouldn't have felt it at all." But a large part of my attention was on you, and the source of that power was almost the same place as yours. ”

Lin Ziyue's eyes flashed in front of her eyes the shattered display screen, and there was a faint sense of surveillance in the air.

"While it is extremely risky to keep you in the Illusory World, it is not uncontrollable. If you don't plan to go down the path of becoming a god, if you don't plan to take away my little world, then I won't use such extreme means as destroying a place. The contest between us belongs only to you and me, you were right before, I should not deprive my own people of the right to exist, civilization and culture are the basis of my existence. ”

"I don't think I said that. Lin Ziyue was stunned.

"What you want to convey to me, I hear. ”

"That's right...... Are you just here to make an announcement today?"

"No, I want you to join forces with me. ”

Such a sudden change made Lin Ziyue very uncomfortable, the first moment just made it clear that there was a hostile position to each other, and the next moment the main system mentioned joining forces? But immediately, Lin Ziyue understood the mind of the main system.

"Is it because of the power you sensed?"

"Yes. Because I've been reading what you're doing, and even reading you under the guidance of the Book of Destiny, I don't have that kind of worry about you. But the holder of that power is different, he is on the same level as the Book of Destiny. ”

"In other words, who is God?"

"Yes. The conversation between you and Blue has already made your position clear, and although he has caused you a lot of confusion, it has not changed your choice. And what you wish to do is more in line with my interests, and I have come to see you through judgment. ”

Lin Ziyue didn't answer, and looked up at the night sky again, the galaxy seemed to be closer, and it seemed that she also wanted to hear the conversation under the night sky, and blinked at Lin Ziyue on the boat.

"I want to ask you to join forces against that level of power. ”

"No, you want me to be cannon fodder, to consume those living forces that might threaten the Phantom World, and then stand behind me to clean up the battlefield. ”

"But you don't want the world to be destroyed, because your ideal is to find a balance between me, the world, and the company of illusions, and then put this kind of treatment in front of the book of fate that is acceptable to all three parties, and completely change the finiteness of the worlds of the Six Realms, so that even higher beings cannot peep into it that is balanced and independent. ”

"You're very good at summarizing. Lin Ziyue was a little careless, she was trying to make up constellations for the starry sky by herself, because the words of the main system were too poignant, and even made her think of avoidance, thinking about these things is one thing, but what she thinks about will become tasteless when others say it.

"You need the Phantom World, and I need the Phantom World, this place cannot be destroyed, and on this basis we are people on the same front. "The main system doesn't have those complicated emotions, it can feel that Lin Ziyue's emotions are very unstable, and it doesn't care if it doesn't know the reason, because it doesn't have any practical impact on things between the two.

Lin Ziyue looked at the eyes of the cook, the main system really has no emotional feelings, and some are just well-organized interests. Is the same with the Book of Destiny?

Again, the main system spoke: "I need a clear answer, even if it's just a verbal answer, in your integrity." ”

"You believe me so much? We are rivals, you have been watching the illusion world for so long, and you should know that people become very fast. Lin Ziyue's headache that she hadn't felt for a long time came back.

"Thank you for your answer. ”

Lin Ziyue was stunned: "What? I haven't promised anything......

The main system raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty and showed a smile, but because the muscles were not well controlled, the fat cook's face showed a cruel smile, and she looked a little nervous: "I know your answer, you will definitely not stand by and watch the disaster befall the phantom world." ”

Lin Ziyue looked at the main system in amazement, staring at the fat cook and moving into the cabin stairs, Lin Ziyue knew that everything was back to where she was supposed to be, only she was full of bitterness, and she couldn't even find someone to talk to.

Lin Ziyue looked at the starry sky and said to herself: "Will the illusory world be destroyed......? But don't you really know that V is coming at me? How can you not deduce it with an omniscient being like you? You clearly did it on purpose......

"What the hell are you thinking?"

Lin Ziyue asked at the night sky.

Or do you approve of my goal? Don't you dare to use the system channel to spread the word, aren't you afraid that the people of the Phantom Company or the Book of Destiny will find out your choice?

I really didn't expect it...... My opponent will turn into my comrade-in-arms.

Lin Ziyue felt chills on her body, she rubbed her hands, turned around and walked into the cabin.

Leaving the sea and the night sky to look at each other, the waves and the stars singing to each other.
