Bering Strait, 8 a.m

In the absolute darkness, a beam of pure white light quietly sprinkled from the sky and fell in front of the boy, shining a touch of pure white.

"Are you afraid?" It was as if someone had suddenly spoken in the darkness, but it quickly fell silent.

"Hopeless?" After a while, the voice began to emerge again, and then fell silent again.

"Giggle......" In the endless wasteland, the sound of dreams that have always been like nothing came softly, and the sound cut through the darkness, as if passing through the endless eternity, lingering in this world.

"Is it decided?"

"Maybe ...... die"

"Is it decided?"

"Maybe the Congregation Betrayed ......"

"Is it decided?"

"Perhaps...... Everything will be gone from you......"

In the boundless black, huge golden pupils slowly appeared in front of the boy, repeating these words in his mouth. In the golden pupils, the golden light flashed in an orderly manner at a frequency of one flicker per second, like a flashing indicator light in the long night, flickering and flickering.

In the darkness, the boy stood up from the ground, his cold face expressionless.

With a "click", the dark world suddenly shattered, and black shards fell from the beam of light like lenses.

"It's decided, let's get started." In the faint light, the boy stretched out his hand and caressed the broken beam, and the tall figure stood alone in the light, quietly watching the huge golden pupils begin to gradually dissipate. Only the voice that still whispered in my ears came from the eternal:

"You've always resisted, even in the face of death. Humans are stupid things, and you are just like them. They will fear creatures that are stronger than themselves, and you, unlike them, are always afraid of yourself. ”

"When the black light shines on the earth, the afterglow of death will rekindle. The undead who fell into this world, you will be the black shadow of dry bones, with the memories that we have long left behind, and once again reign in this world! ”

The deep voice exploded in my ears like thunder, then faded away until it disappeared completely.

In the beam, the boy stood silently in place, silently watching the debris falling from the sky in a daze, the black light was fading, and in the final darkness, as if something suddenly appeared in his mind, two lines of tears slipped silently, and finally gradually fell down his face.

At this moment, it was as if a great sadness suddenly erupted from his body, and that kind of lonely, intense, painful, and cold sadness seemed to be overwhelming...... swept the whole world.

……

"Is it really decided?" On the endless grassland, a girl in a long white dress stood quietly in the wind, with her back to a handsome boy, her two delicate little hands hooked together at will, behind her back.

Listening to her question, the boy nodded slightly, "um", and then continued to bury his head in the chess game.

"Among the eight great monarchs, only you and Jun Yi are still neutral now. If you keep watching, the Hades King may not mind, but the prince's side is not easy to explain, and when the time comes, he will go crazy, whether to fight or discuss, I'm afraid it will have to be decided by him. The girl whispered.

"Fu You is rigid and self-serving, although he is a prince, he is not popular with the people. If he insists on taking all the kings for his own use, then what awaits him will only be his own destruction. When the words fell, the boy raised his hand and dropped a black piece, just enough to eat a white piece in the board, and the chess began to fall into a stalemate.

"But after all, he is the only heir left by Emperor Shen, and when Emperor Shen is not here, there are more or less people who want to support him as emperor." The girl said with a sigh as she lowered her head.

"Emperor?" The boy's outstretched hand paused, and then a white piece fell, and said, "If he wants to be the emperor, let him go, but he is a faint king, whether he can stop Yuan Yu's anger in the end, I am afraid it depends on his ability." ”

"But the crown prince is too cruel, if he succeeds to the throne, the world may be miserable." The girl said with a frown.

"The world has never been at peace, thousands of years ago, and it will be thousands of years from now. Whether it is Fuyou or Yuanyu, no one can break this pattern. The boy lowered his head and raised his glass, quietly took a sip of hot tea, and said, "But there are exceptions to everything, and if Yuan Yu can let go of his hatred, maybe he will be the one we deserve to really follow." ”

"But like this...... It's easier said than done. The girl bowed her head and looked silently at the slate.

Finally, after a long time, the boy saw that she didn't mean to speak, so he raised his hand and dropped a sunspot, and asked, "Did Yuan Yu send you here?"

"It's not." The girl shook her head and said, "I'm here myself." ”

"You're coming over yourself?" The boy's outstretched hand trembled, and he did not drop the white piece in his hand, and he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and whispered, "Is it worth it?"

"There's nothing worth it, Hades has been kind to me, no matter how hard he has to do, as long as I can help him, it's worth it!" The girl suddenly looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

In an instant, a breeze blew across the hem of her skirt, and her long black hair fluttered in the wind.

"He saved you, I will pay it back, this is not a reason for you to casually send him to death!" The boy said with angry eyes. The chessboard made of lapis lazuli began to tremble at his rage.

"He saved my brother and I's lives, he wants revenge, there's no reason why we shouldn't help him." The girl shook her head.

"Stupid!" The boy got up angrily, and the huge coercion instantly raged.

"Changsheng, can you help me once?" The girl turned around slightly, standing quietly in the coercion of the boy's catharsis, and her face was full of supplication, "You and Jun Yi are both the targets of the crown prince and the Hades King, among the eight kings, only you can break the current deadlock." ”

"But I have already promised Emperor Shen, the battle for the throne, Jun Yi and I will never join any faction." The boy flicked his sleeves coldly and turned away.

"But Emperor Shen is no longer there, since she stepped into the 'Divine Domain' two hundred years ago, her aura has completely disappeared in this world." The girl retorted.

"She'll be back." The boy said stubbornly.

"But we don't have time to wait any longer, the national teacher came out of the mountain and joined the prince's camp, and now the king of Hades is alone, if the prince succeeds to the throne, the king of Hades will be doomed." The girl said almost pleadingly.

"What? The candle is out of the mountain! Suddenly, as if the boy had heard something incredible, he turned sharply with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yes." The girl said, "He has already returned from the mountain a month ago, and among the thirty-two kings now, except for Yu Ji, they have been divided into three major factions. One faction is led by the crown prince, supplemented by the national teacher King Jiong, and the old school of twelve kings has gathered under his command, and their ultimate goal is ...... Supporting the crown prince to support you as the emperor and implement the old system. The second faction is led by the king of Hades, and the anti-old faction gathered under the command of seven kings, who advocated the overthrow of the old king's rule and the establishment of a new kingdom. Although the number of kings under the command of Hades is not as large as that of the crown prince, the power of Hades, as the judge in charge of punishment, can completely close the distance. It's just that the situation has changed now, and those kings who were originally neutral have begun to move closer to the crown prince in recent years. ”

"Have they all been bought?" The boy said with a slight scrub of his chin and a frown.

"That'...... Who is the leader of the third faction?"

"It's Goye." The girl said, "The third faction is actually the neutral faction, just like you and Jun Yi. They did not join either the Prince's side or the Hades' side. Most of them were the ancestors who followed Emperor Shen back then, and in the absence of Emperor Shen, it was not easy for them to make decisions. It's just that over the years, in the name of tracking down the whereabouts of Emperor Shen, the prince has indeed attracted several ancestors. ”

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help but sigh a little. The crown prince is the only heir of Emperor Shen, and if the Hades King wants to compete with him for the throne, he will lose a title after all.

"How many monarchs did the Neutrals have?" The boy asked.

"Except for you and Junyi...... There are seven of them. The girl said.

"Seven?" The boy lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "How is the situation on the prince's side now?"

"The momentum is very strong, with King Ji here, most of the remaining neutrals have fallen to the side of the prince."

"What about the prisoners, Hong Ying?" The boy asked again.

"At the beginning, the prisoner was in the same neutral position as you, but then the prince sent someone over, and he agreed to join the camp of the old school." The girl said.

"This traitor!" The boy angrily punched the yin locust tree beside him, and the huge force caused the towering tree that had survived for thousands of years to instantly crack into a deep crack.

"What about Sakura?" The boy asked again.

"Sister Hongying? She's always been with Hades, and it's not like you don't know that Hades and Sister Hong Ying are a match made in heaven. The girl said with a smile. It seems that as long as she talks about these two people, she can be sincerely happy.

"It doesn't matter if they are made in heaven or not, but three of the current Eight Great Sovereigns have gathered on Fuyou's side. Yuan Yu and Hong Ying are two against three, although they are not afraid, but the king under them can't fight against those guys who have taken refuge in Fuyou. And ......," the boy paused, and then continued, "and Candle is away from this fellow, his strength has never been shown since he was crowned king. Among the eight great monarchs, except for Yuan Yu, he may be the darkness hidden in the light. Don't look at him who usually likes to cover his eyes, looking indifferent and indifferent, I guess ......"

"Guess what?" The girl asked with some curiosity.

"My guess is that he's likely to be the second Abyssion." The boy's face suddenly became extremely cold.

"You mean, his strength is the same as that of Hades?" The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

"No, I'm just guessing." The boy shook his head, "Yuan Yu and Candle Li have never fought in front of us, and the difference in their strength may only be known when the real war starts." The boy said.

"Yu Ji is not here for a while, and there may not be her in the 'Dragon Domain' for more than a hundred years in the future. She won't participate in this battle for the throne, but it's okay that she can quit at least for the best choice for the three forces. ”

"Then you promised to help the Immortal?" The girl stretched out her hand and pulled a strand of hair flowing from her ear bun and said with a smile.

"Nope." The boy shook his head, sat back down, and said, "Neither Junyi nor I will join this fight, and I can't tell you the exact reason yet. But you can rest assured that if Yuanyi is really desperate in the end, Jun Yi and I will ...... Will help him. ”

"Really?" The girl looked at his face for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes." The boy nodded, and he reached out and dropped the last sunspot. The chess move is frozen, and the black and white chess stones form three chess dragons, one is all white, one is all black, and the remaining one is mixed with black and white, entrenched between the "white dragon" and the "black dragon".

In the overall situation, the "white dragon" chess is the most fierce, the body is larger than the "black dragon", the heart is transparent, and the white chess all refers to the dragon's head. But the "black dragon" does not show weakness, all the sons work together, the chess pieces are inlaid with each other, and the dragon's head is high, which is quite a magnificent trend. The two dragons are glued, and it is difficult to separate.

It's a stalemate.

"Three more pieces."

In the game, three pieces are left to the side in isolation. The color of chess is not black and white, but a faint ink color.

It was six ink-colored chess pieces, one black and one white, that "devoured" each other and re-condensed, and the boy violently kneaded the two pieces of different colors together the moment the pieces fell.

The three pieces represent the three kings who are on the sidelines and do not belong to any of the three "dragons".

"You go back and tell Yuan Yu that everything is going on as usual." The boy flicked his sleeves and dropped a sunspot. Then the chessboard shattered, the chess momentum collapsed, and all the pieces deviated from their positions in an instant, and the whole world collapsed.

Dead!

"In that case, then I'll go." The girl gave him one last look, turned around, and took a gentle step.

"Thank you." She whispered, her steps fading away.

"Hey!" Suddenly, the boy looked up, looked at her slender figure, and said, "Stay." ”

The voice came out, and the girl froze in place, she turned her head to look at the boy, and her black eyes were gone, and there was a ripple quietly.

"Nope." She shook her head and turned her head away from him.

"Actually, I'm here to say goodbye to you." She whispered, her long black hair suddenly covering the corners of her eyes.

"Where are you going?" The boy asked, staring at her.

"A far away."

"Far away? How far is it?" The boy asked.

"Far away, far away......"

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you can't go." The girl shook her head slightly, tears shining silently under her bun. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky were drifting softly, and the sea of clouds was gathering and parting. It's like two people who are destined to not be able to embrace each other, no matter how hard they try to get close, all they pass through is each other's ethereal bodies.

"Changsheng, in fact, I am very grateful that we were able to meet in the first place, and I am also very grateful for the face you gave me. But we are never people of the same world, no matter how much we try to accommodate each other. But whether you believe in this kind of thing or not, it will come one day. At last she sniffled, and suddenly she laughed heartily and said, "Thou shalt kill me with thy hand." ”

"This is the endgame that we have already arranged in "Divine Killing", this is our fate, we will definitely die at each other's hands."

"Absurd!" The boy said angrily.

Listening to his words, the girl shook her head helplessly, and said, "Changsheng, you are one of the eight monarchs of the beast race, and you are the eighth noble existence in this world second only to the Emperor Shen. You are a person as bright as fireworks, and you should live in the warm sunshine, not come to my gray and dull world. ”

"I ...... Time to go. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she lowered her head and walked straight outside.

"No!" The boy rushed forward, trying to grab her hand.

The girl flashed lightly over his body, and said with teary eyes, "Promise me, don't come to me, okay?" If one day we meet again, and the prophesied fate does not come, then you and I will put down the burden on our bodies and go to the end of this world to wander the world. ”

"This is our agreement, no matter how far apart we are in the years that follow, even if it is ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, I will be in some corner of this world, waiting for you to come to me."

"Goodbye, Changsheng, may our next encounter not be a blade to the other."

The hair drifted through the breeze, and the girl's figure gradually disappeared. It was as if the wind had blown away all the sand in the air in an instant, and the world became dark......
