"It gave this power to my father before it perished, and my father's bloodline was passed down among the human race and gave it to you. However, it is the gift of the Lord, a new creation, and therefore cannot be compared to the power that has been handed down since the primeval times. So it's rarer, it's more unstable, it's more expensive, and yet it's more powerful. ”

"I can understand that...... It's like today's genetically modified crops. What is new, in some respects superior to what has undergone natural selection, has obvious flaws. Li Zhen groaned, frowning at the same time, "Then that means ......"

"The Lord realized that the secret might not be inherited by your father, so he gave him the power of foresight. And he could use this ability, in another form, to spy on that secret, and in this way he kept it. ”

Lu nodded: "That's true. ”

"And it must have known something, so it behaved quite unusually—it suppressed the species. And then, it suppressed itself as well - that's what you say, the reason why the Yellow Emperor fell into a deep sleep? Can you be sure, not your guess? Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. This is what my father said to me. Lu nodded again.

Li Zhen was silent for a while, and let out a long breath.

Tonight can be regarded as the easiest night since he learned the phrase "the last day".

For though he had always had his own insistence, he had always been able to think about the rather terrible thing that Lucifer had said. It would be fine if it happened thousands of years, tens of thousands of years later — he didn't have to think about it that long-term. But if it happens tomorrow, or next year......

This taught him how it was possible not to be anxious and irritable?

But if what Lu said was true—the Yellow Emperor possessed that incomparably powerful ability of foreknowledge, and he was the first and most powerful prophet in this world.

This means that it has known everything for a long time. It anticipates everything.

Thus it suppressed the species, and also suppressed itself. When it comes to the beneficiaries of these two things, there are only human beings. Li Zhen tried to understand the purpose of this practice as the Yellow Emperor believed that only human beings could resist that terrible danger, and thus gave the race a period of free development without threat.

He made the right choice—no matter what the previous starting point of that choice was.

The problem, however, ...... What other species do you not know for the road? Why can't it try to explain everything to other people?

Lu says that's because it's something much closer to "instinct" than it can be described in words—not even between species. This seemingly bizarre statement actually implies more information, which means that the so-called "last day" may not be as simple as they think.

It may not just be pure destruction, but something else.

Maybe everything is connected. For example, the creature itself is an unbelievable existence.

Many people say that human beings are incompatible with the environment on this earth, and that human beings exhibit characteristics that are very different from any other living thing on earth. But humans are compared to species...... It's just a small thing.

The characteristics of this group have broken almost all the previous perceptions of a biological population in Li Zhen's mind - for example, the number of them is roughly maintained at about 60,000.

What kind of "rule" is this?

Then there is the psionic energy they possess, which is not originally the ability of any other creature on Earth except them.

And such a group. Where did it come from, exactly?

If we say that human beings are creatures of species. Could it be that the species itself evolved through natural selection and elimination? Li Zhen looked at Lu in front of him and shook his head slightly. He didn't believe it. He was tempted to figure it all out.

However, in today's situation, this can only be a delusion after all, and he doesn't even know what the so-called "last day" is.

Lu stared at him for a moment, reaching for the bronze chain on his ankle. There was a rattling sound: "Can you help me untie it now?" ”

Li Zhen stood up and took a few steps forward. Stopped again.

"That's what I should do. But I always feel ...... You may be in trouble with me. He smiled self-deprecatingly. Maybe it's because I'm a villain, or maybe you're really tired as you say. ”

"You tell me a lot. But I think you must be withholding more information. But in terms of the species I've seen, you're the one I'm most comfortable with. So...... Well, I let you go. ”

Li Zhen shook the short Longinus spear in his hand. The thinner section immediately gathered a faint light, reflecting the small world at the bottom of the pit into a pale red. He slowly stepped onto the bronze pedestal, walked over to Lu and crouched down in front of her, looking into her eyes.

There are no complicated emotions in these beautiful eyes, only the expectation of getting out of the predicament.

He felt like he was getting a little verbose tonight—especially after knowing so much about it.

So he couldn't help but whisper again: "Chiyou and Adam both died at my hands, and I had my position at that time, and this position has not changed until now. If you plan to take revenge later......"

A faint smile appeared on Lu's face again: "I just want to be alone." ”

"Okay." Li Zhen sighed, "Whatever you want." ”

Then the faint glow of the spear of Longinus swept through the thick bronze chains. The metal made a slight "hiss" sound, accompanied by a burst of white gas, breaking in two. He stared at Lu for a few more moments, untied her other foot, and stepped back from the pedestal.

Lu pulled the chain out of the wound on his ankle. The wound immediately regenerates and heals at a very fast rate. Then the woman, who no longer looked like the kind of woman Li Zhen had in his impression, stood up and tugged at the shirt on her body at the same time.

She took a deep breath of the summer night air—it wasn't cool or fragrant. On the contrary, there was a lingering smell of burnt mush all around—something in the ruins was still burning.

But despite this, she still seemed quite content. Perhaps this is the air of freedom that has always been celebrated. She didn't rush off the pedestal or leave, but turned her head to look at Li Zhen, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I do have a lot of things I don't tell you. But I'm sure you also have a lot of secrets of your own – like the gun you have in your hand. I've never seen it look like this. Her gaze lingered briefly on the gun, then quickly moved back to Li Zhen's face. Her voice then softened, like a dream in the night, "I always remember my father's words. And you...... Maybe he's right. ”

Li Zhenzhi said what she was referring to. He just smiled.

And he never imagined that one day the same species would live in such harmony - not even with Ying Long.

After a while he said, "I hope you can remember your words - I really just want to be alone." I also hope that we can continue to be like we are today, and we don't have to fight each other. Actually, over the course of thousands of years, humans have come up with a lot of pretty interesting things that you can try. If one day you get bored and bored, hopefully you'll come to me instead of them. ”

Lu smiled and glanced at him, her hair fluttering in the night breeze.

Just when Li Zhen thought she would say something, the whole person suddenly disappeared.

The shirt fluttered and landed on the bronze ground, and a small fire suddenly appeared hundreds of meters away. The light of the fire only flickered in the night, and when it reappeared, it was hundreds of meters away.

When the shirt finally rested on the ground, there was no trace of it.

Li Zhen stood in place for a moment before walking up to the pedestal, picking up his shirt and putting it back on.

It seems that there is still a bit of residual warmth.

I let a species go...... He thought to himself. If she could be killed, a species was released.

However, she resembles a human like that, so ......

His body shuddered slightly, and his brow furrowed.

So he could feel that he was beginning to see them as outright outliers.

Li Zhen couldn't help but think of Lu's last sentence.

With the body of a species, but with a human heart - is this what the Yellow Emperor wants to see?

He jumped out of the pit. It was not yet dawn, and the night was full of smoke and dust. A faint, barely audible moan rang out again. Nearly two hours have passed since the first loud bang, but no one has come.

It was only such an urban area that was destroyed, not all of Wanzhou City, not to mention that most of them were residential buildings, and the official strength was almost not lost. Then there is only one explanation - the city was indeed controlled by the Gate of Truth in the past. Now that Lucifer's doppelganger projection was eliminated by himself, the other kittens and dogs saw that the situation was not good and ran away early.

He walked along the barely recognizable path among the ruins, barely seeing a living man along the way. The scene is like the devastation caused by a violent earthquake, but it is far more devastating than an earthquake. The flames that burn in the air consume a lot of oxygen, and in fact many people die not from burning, stoneing, or from the exhaustion of becoming aliens, but from suffocation.

It took him half an hour to get out of the ruins, and finally saw the houses that were still in good condition. A few hundred meters further on, the lights appeared. It was the barricades erected at the junction and behind the barricades, the military vehicles, the police cars, the guards. They blocked several main roads to the vicinity of Taizi Lake, as if to prevent anyone from escaping out, and they were also preventing anyone from escaping in. (To be continued......)
