Elder Taffy looked at the empty Hall of Light, a little distracted. When the focus of his gaze finally fell on the golden figure directly above the main hall, the originally distracted gaze suddenly became much more excited, but it soon became complicated and difficult to understand.

He followed the Great Elder for decades, and obedience to the Great Elder has long been the creed of his life. No matter how difficult or sinister the situation, he always stood by the side of the Great Elder, guarding his flank.

And the Great Elder also used incredible victories one after another to prove his trust in him, and he never failed to live up to it.

But this time......

These hesitations and distractions flashed through his mind, and his gaze quickly returned to clarity. After all, he had gone through countless storms and knew that the plan had begun, and at this time they had no way out.

Only success can make everyone's sacrifice meaningful, and only then can their decades of hard work not be in vain.

Taffy was never a woman's kind, and he had countless blood on his hands. But this big gamble still made him feel heartache.

Because of his years in power, half of the temple elders were hand-picked. These elders were strong and capable, which could be seen from their progress in cultivating the Holy Flame. Many of the elders were more like his students, but all of them would give everything for the gamble.

He had created all of this with his own hands, and the plan had been quietly unfolding since he had begun to teach them the Holy Flame decades ago. He originally thought that after so many years of psychological construction, he could face it calmly, but when he saw the golden flame pillars rising into the sky with his own eyes, he was still like a knife.

It's a real gamble. If it wins, the temple will no longer have any constraints, and there will only be one master in the entire Guangming Continent from now on, and the will of the temple will be implemented in every corner of the Guangming Continent. This is the deepest wish of every Great Elder, but no one has fulfilled it before, and he has never given up.

If you lose, you lose all the elders, and the temple exists in name only. Moreover, such crazy and bloody means will make the temple an existence that the entire Guangming Continent spurns, and no one will forgive them.

So, they have to win. Only by victory can their history be freely written.

Taffy's gaze was firm again.

Bright and everyday!

For the sake of the temple's 10,000-year plan, all the sacrifices were worth it.

The golden holy flame flowed on the floor of the Hall of Light, and the figure of the Great Elder in the firelight was not the slightest bit old, still as majestic as when he was young. The Great Elder stared at the light reliefs on the walls of the Temple of Light, on which countless heroes came to life, it was the epic of the Temple of Light. It is carved with every important battle that the Temple of Light has experienced, and every elder who has contributed to the Temple.

It is precisely because of the succession of these elders that the temple of light has the atmosphere of today's temple.

Every generation of temple leaders has been so enterprising that they have seen the expansion of the temple as their own life, and the Great Elder is no exception.

I don't know if there will be a place for this in the future, and I don't know if I will lead the temple to light or darkness. No, I'm right! Those damned giants, relying on their exploits back then, have hindered the temple everywhere, and they must die!

He needs a powerful Bright Continent, only a sound Bright Continent can be truly strong, in order to defeat the Southern Alliance, to dominate the world, and to conquer the Heavenly Road.

Now Guangming Zhou, there are too many voices!

"How's it going?" he asked suddenly, the golden flame around him silently.

Taffy bowed slightly, as she had decades ago: "The plan went well. There are already three hundred and forty-two pillars of judgment that have been opened. ”

"Three hundred and forty-two. The Great Elder muttered, as if he was sighing, as if he was sighing: "How difficult it is to cultivate three hundred and forty-two elders, this is all your credit." I haven't been in charge of things all these years, and I've worked hard for you. ”

Taffy's heart warmed and he smiled, "It's really unaccustomed to you being so polite." ”

A chuckle sounded in the flames, and the Great Elder immediately sighed, "I know you are reluctant, and I am reluctant. You know me, I'm not a philanthropist, but I'm not a tyrannical murderer. ”

Taffy bent down and said respectfully and affirmatively, "Of course you're not. ”

"They died because of me, and I deserve this infamy. A sigh rang out from the flames: "But this is our responsibility, the responsibility of our generation." Blood and honor can be sacrificed, and only sacrifice. If we don't address these giants, we're going to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that could lead to unification. We must sacrifice, only in this way can we leave a clean Bright Continent to our successors. ”

"Your hard work will be remembered by future generations. Taffy said heartily.

"I don't care. The voice in the flames was old and firm, revealing arrogance and domineering, and the flames flew uncontrollably, and Taffy seemed to see the young figure that had convinced him back then.

The figure in the flames waved his hand violently, and countless sparks burst out: "Do what we have to do, since the palms of our hands have been stained with the blood of our own people, the blood of the enemy is the best wine, how can we return if we are not drunk?"

"Your will is the light. "Taffe's waist bends lower.

The figure in the flames raised his arm, and the palm wrapped in the flames pressed against the bright sun directly above the relief.

The white flame poured out from the sun, and then the flame spread out to all sides, turning into a white flame gate. The Great Elder took a step forward and stepped into the Flame Gate, and the Great Elder of the Flame Gate disappeared at the same time.

Taffy stood up, and he felt empowered. My life is coming to an end, and I can exert the last trace of light and heat before I die, what regrets is there?

His eyes flashed with longing, yes, what a beautiful thing it would be to be able to leave a clean Bright Continent for future generations.

The Flame Gate vanished behind the Great Elder, and in front of him, was the Knights of Light.

Sophie stood at the front of the line, silent.

The Great Elder was visibly enraged by the situation in front of him, and his voice was filled with anger, "Why didn't you execute the plan?"

Sophie stepped forward: "I was the one who stopped them. ”

The Great Elder in the flames, his eyes were fixed on Sophie, the angry roar disappeared, and his voice became low: "Why?"

Sophie raised her head, her gaze clear and calm: "They are my soldiers, I can't let them die in vain." ”

Silence, oppressive silence.

"Charles is dead, and I don't want them to die too. Sophie whispered.

All the anger disappeared in an instant, and the figure in the flames was a little stunned, and only after a moment did he say in a deep voice: "Yes, Charles is dead, but we have to avenge him." ”

"To avenge him, he won't survive, but everyone will die. Sophie shook her head: "They can die on the battlefield, but I don't want them to die like this." ”

"They won't die. The Great Elder said.

"Yes, give up your life and become a soul general. Sophie looked directly at the figure in the flames: "There is no temperature, the erosion of time makes the memory dissipate little by little, forgetting one's relatives, forgetting one's lover, and becoming a machine that only knows how to kill." What's the difference between that and death?"

"Yes, it doesn't make a difference, maybe it's better than death. The figure in the flames was not angry, and his tone suddenly became stern: "But in addition to being your soldiers, they are also knights of light, and giving everything for the temple is their meaning, whether they are alive or dead." ”

Sophie was silent.

"Are they the only ones who are dying? Of the five hundred and sixty-four elders of the temple, three hundred and forty-two have already died, and they don't even have a chance to become soul generals. They were in ashes, and there was nothing left. Their souls were consecrated to the Temple, and before they died, they suffered the pain of burning souls. The remaining elders will burn into holy flames before sunset tomorrow. ”

An indifferent voice came from the flames, and all the knights of light raised their heads involuntarily, their faces full of shock.

"It's a big gamble, a big gamble you can't lose. Everyone in the temple was to be turned into chips and put on the table. The cold and merciless words pierced into the hearts of the people like sharp daggers, and the voice of the Great Elder was full of mockery: "Everything you have is given to you by the Temple. Each of you made a vow to give everything for the temple, including all that you have. But now, the temple needs you to die, and you're holding back. ”

"No, I just don't want them to die meaninglessly. Sophie did not shy away from the Great Elder's gaze: "They are soldiers! They should die on the battlefield! Not in this dark corner, in order to become a soul and die in vain." ”

"No one has a choice, Sophie. The Great Elder said in a deep voice, "This is a war, and you can never decide where your battlefield is, just as you can't decide how you die. All I can do is make your deaths meaningless. And as much as possible, I can't guarantee anything, but we don't have a choice. ”

"Commander!" a knight of light stepped forward, "The Great Elder is right, we can't decide how to die, but I have never forgotten my oath. ”

Another knight of light stood up: "I will defend the light to the death!"

"It's disheartening that we should have died for the temple and let the elders take the lead. ”

All the knights of light stood up, and they stood in front of Sophie as usual, in a neat line.

Smack, everyone saluted Sophie.

"Commander, we will also be soul generals in the future, and we will never look down on you again. ”

"Captain, wait for us to come out. ”

"Commander, don't die in front of us!"

"Commander, we will definitely fight side by side!"

......

The Knights of Light turned, stepping into the white circle of light behind them. As soon as they stepped into the aperture, the aperture seemed to come to life, giving birth to a white curtain of light that slowly rose. A white curtain of light rises above their heads, converging into a cocoon of light, enveloping them.

The light cocoons were neatly arranged, and there was no sound at all, and there were faint figures inside.

The golden flame spread upwards from the bottom, quickly enveloping the light cocoon. The holy flame continued to penetrate into the light cocoon, and the faint figure in the light cocoon continued to struggle in pain.

Sophie burst into tears.
