Bai Qi thought for a long time, his serious face finally melted, and he stepped forward and hugged Fenghe heavily, "How many years have passed? I didn't expect you to be alive, hello old monster." How is the Holy Grass Realm doing now? Are you the chief priest of the Sacred Grass Realm now? How many troops have you brought here this time? Am I a hero of the Sacred Grass Realm now?"

Hearing Bai Qi's question, the wind and silence. Is Bai Qi a hero in the Holy Grass Realm? Feng He didn't know, but in his heart, Bai Qi was right, and he couldn't give him the answer he wanted at first.

"Bai Qi, we have been betrayed. Feng He said heavily.

"You were calculated? You should have brought the group of priests in the first place. Bai Qi sneered and waved his hand behind him, "Bring the thousand-year-old crown over!"

In the ruins, a Chinese character bared his teeth and ran away with a smile.

"What belongs to us must be returned. Bai Qi said, "Let's solve the ghost clan here first, you have been outside for so many years, and you have found a way to deal with them." ”

Fenghe shook his head, not knowing how to speak to Bai Qi, "Not long after we moved into the Guardian City, the Millennium Key bent the time there, and we have been trapped on the same day, unknowingly repeating for an unknown number of years. It wasn't until recently that the space barrier disappeared and someone walked out to find out about it. ”

The smile on Bai Qi's face gradually condensed, although there was no angry roar, but this bland to the extreme face made it clear to everyone who was familiar with him that he was very angry now.

"Millennium Key, have they succeeded in restoring the Holy Grass Realm?"

Wind and his eyes moistened, and he smiled bitterly, "No, everything is as it was before." ”

This sentence was like a heavy mountain, pressing on Bai Qi's heart, and the joy of seeing his friend was washed away, leaving only a deep confusion.

"Outside... How long has it been?" Bai Qi asked hoarsely.

The wind was silent, just shaking his head.

"Don't you know?" said Bai Qi with some urgency, "Have you seen the growth rings of the trees? The degree of wind erosion of the rock wall?

Fenghe suddenly cried out bitterly, "I can't see it all, if you have to ask me, I can only say, it's countless years!

With the cry of the wind and harmony, the warriors who watched the excitement all around fell into a dead silence, and when they entered the city of war, Bai Qi told them everything.

In the following five years, Bai Qi would repeat the story, so everyone knew that they were in a world where they would not return to death, but they still did not give up hope, because the outside world was being restored and rebuilt, and sooner or later, the heyday of the Holy Grass Star would open the closed loop of time and space, and crush the ghost clan that had been entangled with them for I don't know how many years with the power of crushing.

But when someone did come outside, they didn't hear anything that would make them happy. The people of the Holy Grass Star have not been resurrected, the Holy Grass Star has not been rebuilt, there is no army to help, and countless years have passed.

"Even if the people who resurrected the Holy Grass Star failed, there was still the Holy Grass Village, and countless years were enough time for the Holy Grass Star to prosper. What about the Millennium Key, what the hell is he doing?" asked Bai Qi with a shudder.

Feng He held back his tears, and was equally unwilling to accept this result, "It's been too long, this period of time is enough to annihilate a civilization, no one can live so long... The millennium key? He may only exist in our memories. ”

Persistence has no purpose, there is no meaning in fighting, there is no destination for expectation, and there is no object for even hatred. Like Bai Qi, many people are confused, not knowing what they are fighting again and again for in this infinite time loop.

"I was wrong... If—" Bai Qi muttered.

"It's the Millennium Key that's wrong, not you. Feng He comforted Bai Qi and said, "We have just returned to the original state, the Two Blades City is still there, our subjects and warriors are still there, the Ghost Clan is also there, and we have nothing to lose." ”

Bai Qi was silent. Is there really nothing to be lost? Everything now looks the same as it did before the Millennium Key and the others appeared.

But he gave hope to the people, and he disappointed them. He thought the Millennium Key would succeed, but the Millennium Key betrayed everyone. It was he, with everyone, who wasted countless years that were meaningless and worthless.

Looking at the soldiers who followed him around, those resolute faces who were not afraid even in the face of the ghost clan were now in a daze, and the death will that was once Ning Weiyu was taken away by Hope, and now Hope left, leaving only a mess.

It's hard to muster the courage to fight to the death, but what's even harder is that it takes a second time for this kind of thing. Bai Qi felt that he was wrong, and he sent a knife called despair to the hearts of everyone in the already fragile Two Blades City.

At this time, a strong man came over with a 'thousand-year-old crown'. He was a little puzzled as to why the atmosphere here was so heavy, but it didn't seem to be the time to ask, just pushed the 'Millennium Key' forward in front of Bai Qi.

"I—" The river priest who occupied the thousand-year-old crown was about to open his mouth when a blood-colored spear pierced his heart. He Shi lowered his head to look at the piercing wound in his heart, and then looked at Bai Qi, with a look of disbelief on his face.

He didn't know why Bai Qi wanted to kill himself, although he had replaced the thousand-year-old crown as a hostage, he had never had any ill intentions in the city of war, and Bai Qi didn't even give a naïve reason to kill himself.

Watching the 'Millennium Crown' slowly fall, Bai Ji shook the spear and shook off the blood stains on the tip of the spear, "We didn't even live clearly, and you don't have to die clearly." ”

Right now. City of Two-Edged War.

"Later, the war was still the same, Bai Qi and the wind and the reorganization and army, but in the two time closed areas that can be entered at will, no matter who can be resurrected when the time resets, the people of the Two Blades City are like this, and the ghost clan is also like this. The war seems to have reached a stalemate. ”

"But it was discovered that as everyone evacuated the Guardian City, the time loop there began to become more erratic, and the length of the reset began to slow down, from the first day, then two days, three days, and finally a month. At that time, Bai Qi and Feng and speculated that this change could be related to the amount of material in the area. ”

"Bai Qi and Feng He decided to let everyone re-enter the Guardian City, and then kept moving stones from outside the city to the city, and from the city to the outside of the city, trying to use this most primitive way to increase or decrease the matter in the closed loop of time, so as to achieve a fragile balance. After repeated attempts, the time loop there barely stabilized for a period of one month. ”

"And the city of war, which lost 200,000 lives, was moved with a lot of material, and the closed loop of time there soon collapsed in a state of instability. Since then, the people of the Two Blades City have relied on the Guardian City to resist the attack of the Oni Clan. ”

Bai Qi and Feng He thought that everything was back to square one, but this was not accurate, because in the city of wars that had been cycled countless times, Bai Qi and the 200,000 soldiers were no longer what they used to be. ”

Ye Qingmian guessed, "The strength of non-material life has increased, right?"

"That's right, you've experienced the infinite 24 hours in the game of reincarnation, so you should be able to understand that in this time loop, great pressure forces non-material life to grow. The ghost clan is the most obvious, but every five years, they will be automatically harvested by the scythe that has been set up for a long time, and this kind of thing has not stopped even if all the members of the Holy Grass Realm fall asleep. ”

"And human beings are growing slowly, but they have been accumulating for too long. They cycle for a long time, and their memories will be rolled back, so there is no need to worry about psychological oppression exceeding the limit. And five years of conquest is enough for them to grow. ”

"But the wind and the people of the Guardian City are different, they are similar to what you experience, they all cycle in a day, but you have carried the memories of each cycle, and their memories will reset, so they have no stress, no sense of crisis, so the immaterial life is almost only maintained at the previous level. Even if it weren't for the harvested ghost clan's immaterial energy escaping in the Holy Grass Realm, they would have dried up their energy and died. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qingmian suddenly interrupted Murong and asked a digression, "Will the immaterial life in the dream world also have a day when it runs out of energy?"

"Of course, it's just a slow process. The dream world is said to be a dream, but all the rules are a replica of reality, and the same is true of immaterial life energy, the total amount of which will gradually decrease with the reincarnation of people in dreams again and again. If you do not escape from the dream world, then the ultimate destination of all sleepers is to die forever in the dream. ”

Ye Qingmian wondered, "Couldn't the immaterial life energy escaping from the real land replenish them?"

Murong didn't forget to shake his head, "If the main consciousness is not there, the carrier is equivalent to an empty shell, unable to restrain those energies. In fact, over the years, the vast majority of the non-material life energy of the ghost clan that has been harvested has dissipated in vain. ”

Ye Qingmian looked understood, "But for ordinary people in the dream world, the strength of non-material life is not very important. ”

"It's not important, it's very important!" Murong retorted, "The foundation always determines the height, and you don't think it's important to them because they don't know it's actually important." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zhini, born in the era of nine seals. Ji Konglian, Bai Didi, the person I forgot, was born in the post-Zhinir era. Rite was born before the three of them, but was also in the same era. All the guardians of the City of the Two Blades and all the Overseers of the Temple of Reincarnation were born in the era of ritual games. The recently appointed Overseer is named Ling Qiuyuan, who was born in the era of Ji Kong's love. Finally, there is an overseer called Yan Hongyu, she was born in the Qiyu era, but her individual strength is very poor, and she is on the throne because of the tyrannosaurus. Do you see something?"

The corners of Ye Qingmian's mouth rose, and he felt a little funny, "It's not as good as a generation." ”

"Yes, it is because the foundation is getting weaker and weaker, and the impact of immaterial life intensity is subtle before there is no qualitative change. Murong didn't forget to bring the topic back to the Two-Bladed City, "It's as if after experiencing the turmoil in their hearts that have been betrayed by the thousand-year-old key and the Holy Grass Realm has not been rebuilt, Bai Qi and the other soldiers slowly discovered that the current Two-Bladed City can actually resist the ghost clan. ”

And in the constant battle, Feng He discovered what had been discovered by the millennium crown, that is, the extreme emotional outburst before the death of humans, which can kill the ghost race. ”

With this discovery, and relying on the time loop of the Guardian City, the warriors of the Two Blades City will be resurrected on time every month, and Bai Qi and Fenghe see the hope of defeating the ghost clan. However, after several battles, they found that although the number of soldiers who relied on the Guardian City had not decreased, the number of ghost clans did not seem to have decreased. ”

Ye Qingmian was helpless for the soldiers of the Two Blades City, "As long as the ghost clan divides a part of the immaterial life on the civilians of the Guardian City, it will also be resurrected together every month." So it's not like there are no dead on either side......"

"That's it, although the people of Two Blades City lack a lot of necessary knowledge, they are not stupid, and they slowly judge this fact. At that time, if the two sides fought to the death, Two Blades City would have the last laugh. But the ghosts can also be resurrected, which is a big problem. ”

"The non-material life of the ghost clan is growing rapidly, and as long as the war continues, sooner or later the balance of strength will tilt in favor of the ghost clan again. Wait until the closed loop of time, which is becoming more and more unstable because of you, shatters, and all that awaits the City of Two Blades is a massacre. But one man, broke the deadlock. ”

Saying this, Murong didn't forget to pause.

Ye Qingmian said, "If I don't ask 'who is it', won't it be embarrassing if you just keep pausing like this?"

“......”

"Well, who is it?"

"Wind and wife, wind and letter snow. ”
