The man smiled slightly on his cheek and made a soft expression that didn't fit his usual eyes.

"That's right, no one but me can come to your dreams and find a way to warn you. Lingxu said, raising his right hand parallel to his eyes.

Slowly, a faint blue candle flame emerged from its hand, and after a short time it quietly grew into a raging flame.

"Warning, what do you want to warn me, just because you are a traitor to the Empire who kills indiscriminately?" Luo Heng said disdainfully, looking to the side, expressing his anger.

However, his heart was occupied by a feeling of pity, regret and chagrin.

The Lingxu that appeared in the dream of the stars in front of him and the six-pointed star shield behind it were originally organizations that had long-term cooperation with the Nandu and the Luo family, and at the critical moment before Long Qing, they first conspired with the Lin family, and then assassinated the ruling arranged by the Luo family in such an important location as the Nandu Ruling Office.

None of these were the actions of a wise man for Luo Heng, there was no doubt that in his eyes, Lingxu was like a real fool.

"The original intention of the six-pointed star shield is protection, the protection of the extreme, but I accidentally glimpsed the scarlet, and in the end, I couldn't escape the fate of death. Lingxu said gloomily, and slightly injected a force into his hand, and the blue flame was like a spirit with teeth and claws, constantly beating and dancing in his hand, as if he was a dancer suffering from mental illness.

"Is protection killing, is scarlet just a pitiful excuse?" Luo Heng asked, soothing the anger rising in his heart.

"Protection is protection, and protection does not mean anything else. Human beings are born free, and in the final analysis, they do not need the protection of anyone else. ”

Lingxu said, throwing the flame in his hand into the depths of the stars.

The flame, like a cannonball fired into the air, dragged its extremely long bright tail and disappeared into the air.

"Freedom? Heh, you also talk about freedom? You are not free inside the six-pointed star shield, but you are still destroying the freedom of the outside world. Your former subordinates, without exception, have been in prison since I arrested them, and they have been in a state of madness. I don't know if they have been brainwashed by you, or if they have been poisoned by the so-called 'teachings' of your six-pointed star shield. Luo Heng sneered, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and continued to look at the spirit void in front of him with disdain.

"Do you know the underworld?"

Lingxu did not answer Luo Heng positively, but changed the topic.

"The underworld is nothing but a fantasy that people have forcibly invented in order to explain the afterlife. Do you really believe that there is a place where you can judge the wicked who were not judged in their lifetime, and can comfort those who suffered in their lifetime? With so many souls, how can the so-called underworld be managed?"

"You're wrong, you're talking about the imaginary underworld, and I'm in the real underworld. Lingxu said, revealing a strange smile.

However, Luo Heng just stood in place and quietly watched his words and performances, after all, this was his dream.

Between the silences, Luo Heng suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from the stars in the sky, as if a light brought a stimulating feeling in his body.

Thinking of this, Luo Heng couldn't suppress the sense of curiosity and impulsiveness in his heart, and suddenly looked upward.

"Shhh

After a few blinks, he slowly opened it again, trying to look overhead.

Although he felt the intense discomfort and tears of suddenly seeing the light after a long time in the dark night, Luo Heng still insisted on staring at the sky in order to satisfy his temporary curiosity.

Strangely, the light in the sky was just a huge ball of light that appeared among the stars in the night, and it did not radiate anywhere on the side.

It was as if as soon as this light emanated was absorbed by the surrounding stars, and could only exist in a fixed area and in the middle of the dimension.

But with this limited light, it still illuminated the pitiful bits of purple mist and some crimson colors in the darkness nearby.

"You are a wise and enlightened man, and all that is before you is the underworld created by the Creator. It's just a place for souls, and it doesn't have any special functions other than reincarnation. Lingxu said, his feet gradually floating.

In less than three seconds, his body was less than two meters away from Luo Heng.

"What do you want to express?" Looking at the spiritual void in front of him that seemed to be a spirit and a human breath, Luo Heng finally brought the topic to the meeting and asked the initial question.

"It's very simple, you've just heard this sentence, and now you forgot it? As far as I know, the underworld doesn't have the ability to devour memories, only planes can do it. Lingxu smiled disdainfully.

"Less nonsense, talk quickly!" Luo Heng seemed to have lost his patience a little.

"Death to all who have seen the scarlet, including us!"

When Lingxu repeated this sentence, he deliberately replaced "I" with "we".

"Why is this sentence so familiar?" Luo Heng muttered to himself in a low voice.

"That's right, that's what you heard when you first entered the dream realm, and that's what I said, just to bring you into this world. ”

"Dream?" Luo Heng wondered, he wondered not that he was in a dream, but why Lingxu had brought him into this dream.

"The beginning of a dream is where you know best, or where you are deep. Only guidance can lead you into my admonitions. Otherwise, you'll get lost in these kaleidoscopic images and finally wait for the dawn to come. Lingxu whispered, leaning closer to Luo Heng's ear.

"Go away. Luo Heng looked a little embarrassed, and wanted to push Lingxu away.

However!

When his hand touched the spirit void body, except for a slight feeling of blocking contact with the air current, he did not feel the thick feeling of the palm in contact with the flesh.

He, the Spiritual Void, had become a spirit being.

"Why, I told you all about the underworld, and you watched it with your own eyes, oh no, you killed me with your own hands. Naturally, I don't have any physical touch in my body. Lingxu said, drifting to the side and distanced himself from Luo Heng.

"I don't believe you're going to prompt or warn me anything. Luo Heng said bluntly.

"Believe it or not, I just wanted to tell you that once more people see Scarlet, then the human world will not be able to exist, and even the underworld will suffer from the catastrophe. The Creator created this universe among the sleeping demons, but the core of this universe is only our earth. Regardless of whether human beings can obtain the power beyond the universe and fly into the universe in the future, the fact that there is only life on our planet among the deep stars will not change because of anything. We are lonely, but we are also an admirable lonely existence, once this world is destroyed, there will be only silence left between the universe created by the Creator, and then swallowed by a black hole, and die alone. ”

"How can I see the scarlet?" Luo Heng began to feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"The collision between the dragons and the darkness will inevitably cause a splash of scarlet, and at that time, the collapse of the world will be inevitable. ”

"Why?" Luo Heng continued to ask.

"The dragons represent the light, and the dark king represents the darkness. When light and darkness collide, the world will create a vague illusion, but the truth is that the environment will not take anyone away from the strong energy, on the contrary, it will not be able to withstand this energy and collapse, and then emit a scarlet to the world. In the Flame Empire, when Crimson encounters the flames buried deep in the Flame Empire, it does not cause burn or destruction, but instead leads the world to a snowy wasteland and then falls silent. It's just that our six-pointed star shield came into contact with the scarlet in advance."

"Scarlet, what the hell is it? Did you say that you were also exposed to scarlet to get to this point?" Luo Heng looked a little flustered, his hands naturally drooped, and his eyes were fixed on Lingxu.

"Scarlet, it's just a combination of dirty light and dirty darkness, and he represents all the evils of the world. Lingxu explained slowly, and his feet were back on the ground, but there was a feeling of extreme remorse in his eyes.

"Is it sin?" Luo Heng muttered to himself.

"I just wanted to get a glimpse of the Creator's true face, but it turns out that I can only get a glimpse of Crimson. The Creator is higher than our dimension, He created the stars, the continents, mountains and rivers, the human beings and all things. ”

"What does this have to do with the Creator?" Luo Heng asked, and actually laughed.

It's not that Lingxu's words are funny, but that his tone and coordinated movements are like a magic stick, or a mental patient in the Imperial Hospital.

"He created everything, including the dragons that the little emperor wanted to resurrect. Actually," Lingxu paused and continued, "As long as Longqing can't be carried out, or the dragons can't summon it, then Scarlet won't appear. Or, in the worst case, darkness and light would not meet, and naturally none of this would befall the continent. ”

"Stop Long Qing, I'm afraid it's too late, to stop the light and darkness from meeting, I may not have that ability. Alas. Luo Heng sighed and shook his head.

But the spiritual void in front of him and the intense light above him were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The circle of light formed by those rays gradually narrowed, and the body of the spirit void began to disperse upwards from below.

"If you can't do it, then fate and reincarnation will also arrange for wise men to come and stop it, and it would be great if you could help them. I don't have any time left, though. If we had the chance, I hope we wouldn't meet in the underworld. ”

Lingxu said, and the speed at which his figure dispersed quickly accelerated.

In less than three seconds, his body turned into countless tiny points of light that seemed to be formed by fireflies, dissipating among the stars.

And the illusion around Luo Heng gradually turned into darkness and gradually collapsed.

......

Knock, knock, knock.

The bells of the imperial capital always ring at six o'clock in the morning, heralding the beginning of a new day for the people among them.

And today, the darkness before dawn seems to be a little longer than yesterday.

But fortunately, at the last moment when the bell dissipated, the first rays of dawn in the morning were ushered in.

With a heavy feeling of exhaustion, Luo Heng patted his head that was drowsy from drunkenness last night, and struggled to get up when the sleepiness dissipated.

"Father, why did you drink so much wine at last night's banquet, did you encounter something unsmooth?" Luo Sijie stepped forward to help Luo Heng up and greeted respectfully.
