612 For freedom
"It's spectacular......"
It was as if the curtain of the whole world had been completely torn off, and the darkness that had been surrounding it had disappeared quickly with Duan Qing's pull, and the countless points of light that had been surrounding it also retreated into the distance of vision like dissipated clouds, turning the entire space in Duan Qing into a different appearance - white sky, white mountains, and hazy light like a fairyland then appeared around this space, reflecting all the places in this area into ink white that can only be found in ancient paintings. The mist continued to surround the nearby scene, and the elements from this world also returned to their respective appearances, and then used them to return to the original color, embellished around this ink painting, and the fog that kept rotating also turned into a colorful cloud river with the concealment of these points of light, passing under Duan Qing's feet one by one, he looked at this beautiful scenery, and only after a while did he faintly let out his own exclamation: "This is the ......"
"The world is really what it is."
He tightened his right hand, letting the thick chain that had just appeared beside him sway in the endless cloud sky, and then his eyes fell on the other chains of the same shape that also appeared in the clouds: "Right? ”
"You...... You ......"
Looking at Duan Qing's series of movements, Oakson, who was still struggling, once again showed an extremely ugly face: "How are you...... What did you just do? ”
"Why, when I was at the ruins of Tallund...... Haven't you seen these things? ”
Gesture towards the other party, Duan Qing pointed to the last remnants of the chains that disappeared in the air from time to time around him: "Or ...... Actually, you don't know anything at all? ”
“…… What are you talking about? Oakson's eyes rolled a few times, and the energy that had been surrounding him began to dissipate with his movements: "Could it be ...... Do you see the threads of fate? ”
"Silk thread?" Duan Qing raised his head: "Are you sure these things are silk threads?" This diameter is at least the size of a bowl ......"
"Why don't I see anything?" Oxen, who was floating in the air, checked his surroundings again, and then reached out and tried to grab Duan Qing's shirt: "What did you do to me?" ”
"Looks like you really can't see it."
Looking at the huge and broken chain that still extended into the other party's chest, Duan Qing nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe this is also the setting of this world, you NPCs...... Oh no, even you weavers of fate can't seem to get a glimpse of everything in this world. ”
"You...... Did you see the Circle of Destiny? ”
The mood in his eyes changed many times, and Oxen finally gave up the idea of fighting, and then after a period of silence, he looked around here again: "Tell me...... What do you see? ”
"Well, I don't know how to describe ...... to you," Duan Qing replied with a slight embarrassment, "After all, I don't know how the world you see now is different from what I see......
"Tell me!"
The voice of the shout suddenly amplified, and Oxen's face became crazy again, and then in the next moment of breathing, he returned to the calm image of the normal world: "Whether it is for the weaver of fate or for myself, I have been fighting for so long, and although I have finally become like this, I still have the right to know all this." ”
"Tell me what you saw." He sorted out his emotions again, and then said in a low voice, "By my life...... Please. ”
“…… I saw white clouds, white peaks. ”
After being silent with each other for a while, Duan Qing finally slowly spoke: "There is still ...... The thick chains, like the ones I had seen before, were some very thin, like ordinary hemp rope, and some were as rough as pillars......"
“…… Scold. ”
Stunned for a long time, Oxen put down his hand slightly depressed, and the eyes that were originally expectant gradually retreated from the direction Duan Qing pointed to, and slowly put it on his undulating chest, the silent tranquility then gradually diffused with the silence of the two people, for a while, only the unique sense of emptiness in the fog surrounded them, until the colorful cloud rivers passed in front of Duan Qing's eyes again, and Oxen's voice full of various emotions sounded in his ears again:" In my past life, I have seen many poor ghosts, some of whom are really not good, some of whom are just unlucky, who have failed many times because of cruel competition, or who have come to naught because of some kind of accident, as if the end of failure will eventually occur, even if they have exhausted all means...... In the end, he will still fall to the ground in the face of great power. ”
"I have long since escaped poverty and lost my compassion, and sometimes I lament their tragic fate." Speaking of this, Oxen sighed deeply: "I didn't expect it...... This will happen to me one day. ”
“…… There's a saying among adventurers that says don't go against the version. Duan Qing shook his head slightly: "Although you may not understand, but the situation described in this sentence ...... You who can't break through some kind of shackles should also understand, right? ”
“…… We are indeed different, children of fate. ”
His gaze lingered on Duan Qing's body for a while, and Oakson's eyes returned to the endless void again: "Just like a child born with defects, the gap between us has appeared since the beginning, and this gap now seems so huge, even if it is strong enough to communicate with all the elements of this space, I still can't do what only you can do......"
“…… You can choose another way. Duan Qing was silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "Even if you give up, your life will definitely become much better." ”
Select ...... Hum. ”
Oxen, who was floating in mid-air, shook his head, and a heavy thought gradually flashed in his eyes: "Why should I choose another path?" Why do I have to make a choice? I have pondered this question in the past through countless forks in fate, but in the end I can only be in the fate that cannot be changed...... lamenting the weakness of his strength. ”
"Make a choice of fate...... In fact, it is a sign of weakness. He paused, and a hint of sharpness gradually flashed in his eyes: "This is the conclusion I have come to with my life that I cannot change, such a life...... It can't be called freedom at all. ”
“…… Because the power is not strong enough? Looking at the countless chains that stretched into the air, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This is your answer?" ”
"If the poor have enough wealth, then the poor will not choose to work hard to make money, and if the principality has enough troops to rival the empire, they will not swallow the bullying of the past." Oxen looked at Duan Qing's face steadily: "If you have enough strength, you may not become so embarrassed in front of the plans of those inheritors of the Ancient Magic Empire, if I have enough strength, I may be able to break my own fate of death and work hard to ...... Becoming a reality. ”
The outstretched hand passed through Duan Qing's body, and Oakson's words paused for a moment with his stunned expression, and then looked at the fluorescence gradually emitted from his body, and slowly showed a wry smile: "It's a pity that I still haven't reached enough strength, and I will ...... in the future." I'm afraid I won't have a chance to have it anymore. ”
“…… Power shouldn't have been so hard to come by, just people like you...... Always likes to complicate things. ”
Seemingly aware of the difference in time and space between the two people, Duan Qing slowly let go of his hand holding the other party's chains: "It's like I've just noticed the rules of this world, the trajectory of fate that you can achieve often only requires you to have an understanding of your own abilities, and the result of choosing to forcibly break through is not only to bring more trouble to others...... The rest is just more distorted. ”
"Look at the chains you're wearing." He pointed in front of Oxen and gestured to the chain in front of him that had begun to crumble: "In addition to giving you more abilities, power will also bring you more restraints, and in order to leave these new burdens behind you again, you can only face more choices, and then carry more shackles in the process of constantly breaking with strength." ”
"A vicious circle of beauty and no turning back." He sighed and gave Oxon a strange smile: "No wonder you have such a strong tendency to destroy, if you want to be truly free, you will face the ...... in the end I'm afraid it's going to be the whole world. ”
“…… I understand. ”
Oxen, who was floating in the air, was silent for a while, and then smiled back: "Sure enough, the choice of 'fighting fate' was wrong from the beginning." ”
"I've been in the same situation as you at some point in the past." Duan Qing said lightly: "In order to get rid of those heavy shackles, I gave up too much at that time, although it is too late now, I can still stand in the position of a person who has come over to remind you......"
"Strength is often the weakness of battle." He looked into the distance of the white world: "And the obsession to change fate...... It will also become the biggest weakness in your life. ”
“…… It's a pity that it was too late, this feat ...... It seems that it is impossible to achieve it. ”
“…… Maybe I can make it happen for you. ”
"No need, I can't be free, but at least I should be allowed to die for it."
“…… Become an evangelist? Do the people in the Alliance of Destiny also have the consciousness of dying for their beliefs? ”
In the white mist that filled the entire other world with a silent atmosphere, the two figures who were talking began to slowly separate, and Duan Qing, who watched each other's bodies begin to decompose, also heard the last words belonging to Oxen in his ears: "Maybe I can't see the thread of fate that you can see, but I can prove its existence with my own life, since you have seen the demise of that 'chain', then use this evil life of mine to ......"
"Bear witness to the prophecy of the children of fate."
The floating body finally dispersed into a stream of white light as Duan Qing had died before, but it did not converge again like the previous Duan Qing, and the chains that he pulled out with one hand also began to slowly retract with the disappearance of Oxen's figure, and finally flew towards the distance of the white sky, and the loud and distant bell also echoed in Duan Qing's ears again with the appearance of this scene, reflecting a high mountain peak glowing with white light in front of him, and Duan Qing, who had become alone, then sighed, His eyes then fell to other chains of different sizes that also extended in that direction: "Then ......"
"What can you do as you call the children of destiny?"
Countless excited lights flashed in his eyes, Duan Qing struggled to control his body, and then after a shaky flight, he floated towards the chain closest to him, and thousands of strange images appeared in his mind as he approached, and then flashed more and more frequently as the distance shortened, enduring the stinging pain that gradually came from his brain, Duan Qing finally struggled to put his hands on the surface of one of the chains without any strength:" If each chain represents the fate of each individual......"
"The so-called Circle of Destiny should be at the end of these things."
Buzz –
The huge impact that was enough to make a person faint instantly hit his brain, but it only made Duan Qing frown slightly at this time, and the huge amount of information that came from unknown sources also began to enter his mind endlessly, and the body floating above the clouds then lost its movement, as if it was completely integrated into the huge chain, and finally in the action of Duan Qing suddenly opening his eyes, he suddenly climbed up along the surface of the chain.
"What I can do ......"
Trying his best to analyze the pictures that kept flashing, Duan Qing continued to move towards the endless white void with difficulty, and then after a period of progress, he suddenly looked at the bottom of countless parallel iron chains, countless lines composed of unknown energy moved back and forth on the surface of those other iron chains, like an electric current transmitting data, his eyes roamed around there for a while, and finally stopped at the target point he had found: "Probably this is it." ”
There, the light and shadow of countless swords flickered in the image that flowed through it, and then at a certain moment it was suddenly dyed an endless green, spinning and flying into the black night sky.
