Chapter 97: Opportunity
Time is lost, time passes.
The Holy One sleeps peacefully, and I will guard your wishes.
A world immersed in never-ending sorrow, seemingly ambiguous between life and death, a world full of chaos, some say, a world cut out of time, in the temple of lost time, what else can we do.
Although here we get a constant rebirth.
We never looked up, did we? just roaring for the joy of struggle, dancing in trembling, the wreckage of the stars wandering around, faded in the last moments.
Time passes in the world without me, the times change, and the real memory only exists in your heart.
True curses turn them into the vanguard of the Sages! Chosen by Chaos—the knights branded with the seal of Chaos—they are burdened with a mission that must be accomplished, perhaps facing a fate more cruel than death.
Because the words at birth, the words at the time of passing, in the heart, the sigh of the eternal God, when it is stagnant, turned into courage and strength, there is no need to be confused anymore, maybe no one is born with 'meaning' from the beginning, we may have to discover and find it ourselves, maybe the so-called 'meaning', maybe uncertain, maybe incomparably unstable, but, as long as we are still alive, we will want to know that meaning, what is the self for living, try to let ourselves accept, and who to believe? Origin and extinction, flowers bloom and grateful, things must be reversed, and blessings and disasters depend on each other.
A prayer for salvation, a long-cherished wish to protect the world, a vow to change your destiny......
When the 59 centuries of ideas came to an end, their war began.
............
"It seems like a long, long dream!"
Dreams are like illusory, as simple and ridiculous as dreams, I look at the ancient road in front of me, full of thorns, we have to move forward, brave to step, it may be very painful, but this may be the only dream!
The time was quiet, the surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, Noah lay motionless on the bed, looking at the dusty ceiling, and began to be silent.
The spiral of death, once again passing by itself, bound by the bonds of memory, began to weave the story of life.
However, from the past thousands of years ago, from a long time later, I once dreamed that in this thatched house, I shrank in the warmth of the cold and frozen, exhaled a breath of thousands of years ago, gently stroked the delicate and mysterious flame, I felt its warmth, squinted my eyes, and waited quietly.
The right eye was tightly closed, and the only one that was open was the red gold left eye revealed a touch of confusion, and Yuraiya, who quietly pushed the door in front of him.
"You're awake!" Yuraia was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ran to Noah's bedside, "Your body is okay!"
"It's so close!" Noah looked at Yuraia's close face and pushed Yuraia over with one hand.
"I'm sorry!" Yuraia blushed.
"I'm fine!" Noah nodded, "I just slept for a long time!"
Sure enough, Noah didn't remember the distance before and after the dragonization, so it was better not to tell her.
"Zuk's breath is gone?" Noah said suddenly.
"Well, yes! Zuk has been defeated!" Yuraia nodded idly, "You were knocked unconscious then, and then we defeated him together!"
"Looks like that!" Noah nodded, "I'm so ashamed!"
"It's okay, you're probably too tired!" Yuraia feigned regret, but it wasn't very convincing.
After a little exploration, Noah said, "What about Hoko and Eric, I can't sense them either!"
"Well, I forgot to mention it, the two of them will go back to the Demon Realm first! They said that they would naturally meet again!" Yuraiya took the broken hedron, "And this is what Huo Ko asked me to give to you, but because Zuk is already broken!"
"It's okay!" Noah was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it over and said: "That's okay, I can fix it if it's broken, but this is a dead friend gave it to me, yes, you know it too!"
"It's him!" Yuraia's eyes also dimmed slightly.
"Don't say it!" Noah sighed, "Anyway, it's over, it's a good thing!"
"Then it should be a little difficult to do, go ahead!" Yuraia pointed behind her and sighed, "You have to think about how to say goodbye to those people!"
"......" Noah fell silent, then slowly got out of bed and left the room.
"Then I'll go out!"
............
The magic water planted by the Netherworld, this corpse transformation, has brought great disasters.
Children lose their parents, parents lose their children, wives lose their husbands, homes are gone, only sorrow spreads in the air, the earth shakes and the mountains crack, and in an instant the dust fills the sky, and time seems to be frozen there forever, and the cries and wails are all over the place.
In addition to loved ones, there are also friends.
I heard the girl's crying voice, and heard the boy's inexplicable sigh.
But when it was finally over, the government rescued the survivors, rebuilt their homes, and comforted those people.
Those who have lost are cherished more, and those who have should be protected, but what haunts people's hearts is not the type of terrible virus and corpse transformation, but only the natural disasters such as various earthquakes, an unprecedented natural disaster.
"Can you physically withstand the sudden modification of the human earth like this?" Noah said to Al.
"It's okay!" Han Xue beside Al said, "And us!
"I'm fine, but do I have to?"
"This is our responsibility as gods!" Al sighed, "We can't change history, but the existence of gods can't be exposed at will, and this disaster has to modify their memories slightly!"
"That's it!" Noah raised her eyebrows, "I asked you how many people you wanted, and I will modify those people myself!"
"Okay!" Al asked curiously, "You're really interested in humans!
"It's nothing, but it's a pity that the mission failed!" Noah pulled out the fragments of Longinus's spear, "It's destroyed, it's unusable!"
"That's it!" Al shook his head, "but this is also force majeure, okay, after a while, we will go back to the Divine Domain, do you want to join us!"
"You guys go first, we still have this matter to deal with!"
"That's it!"
Noah sneered, "Rest, don't be attacked by anyone again!"
"That's right, we'll be waiting for you in the Divine Domain then!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Noah nodded.
At this time, a middle-aged man slowly walked towards several people, and at the same time smiled lightly at Al, this person was the principal of Roland High School before.
Noah was stunned, "You ......"
"Thank you for saving this place" The headmaster said with a smile, "I have never told the truth, I am actually a god sent by the Divine Domain to be stationed on Earth, but I have not been able to do anything"
Noah sighed, and the light swept over his body.
............
Noah heard the girl's sad cry, as if her heart was intertwined, and her eyes were sad.
Sweeping away the barren thoughts, piling up the dust and stubborn stones into a tomb, looking at the grave, the sun shining obliquely on the cold stone tablet. Listen to the desolate wind whispering lonely to the sound of the harp in the distance, and mourn for the dead who sleep here.
In the distance, Bai Jing's tombstone.
"You're okay!" Noah said to Bai Li indifferently, although Noah's voice was still cold, and there was no sense of comfort.
"I'm fine!" Bai Li tried to wipe away her tears with her sleeve, but no matter how many times she wiped them, tears kept flowing out.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect him, maybe he doesn't deserve to die!"
"It's not your fault!" Bai Li said sadly: "My brother loves me the most, and I like my brother too, even though he is the brother who has become a monster, he is still the ordinary brother, he is all good to me wholeheartedly, but unfortunately I can no longer hear his voice!"
Noah was silent, just putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Because of my brother, I can live like this, even if it is for my brother, I have to live strongly!"
Noah nodded, I don't know if death makes people sad or sadness can kill people, the answer is in everyone's heart, the meaning of life is to live and live to the future.
"Hakukyo ......"
"Bai Jing, what kind of handsome are you playing, damn it!" Li Yuanzhe lowered his head and stood weakly in front of the tomb.
Bai Jing's tomb has a lot of flowers on it, including Bai Li, his friend's, and Yuraia's.
Hear me, and go away in peace.
Looking at Bai Jing, who was already very vague and became a soul, after looking at the surroundings for the last time, he turned into stars and returned to the sky.
This is the ascension of the soul to heaven, which is what some people call Buddhahood.
Noah is still on Earth, a final job, I don't know how to tell those people, really at this time, Noah is a little reluctant, if it becomes a void, then everything is meaningless.
A light flickered in the sky, sensing that Al and Han Tian Han Xue had left the earth, and the memories of Li Yuanzhe and his group were left to Noah to deal with according to the agreement.
"What a farewell, I'm still not good at these, it's better to solve it simply!"
............
"What's wrong, do you suddenly have anything to say?" Li Yuanzhe, Mu Zixuan and the others were suddenly gathered by Yuraiya.
"No, it's Noah who has something to say!"
"Noah?" Li Yuanzhe trembled and looked at her.
"First of all, you should be celebrated for surviving!"
"What are these words!" Li Yuanzhe clenched his fists, "Of course!"
"Since the first time I saw you, I've changed a lot!" Noah raised her eyebrows, "Whether it's having no power to help someone you don't know, or having the strength to contribute to the people around you, I hope you can always maintain this heart!"
"Hmm!" Li Yuanzhe nodded firmly, "Of course, this power, I will protect everyone well!"
"There are two things to say, first, you survived, the crisis on Earth is resolved, then Yuraiya and I have no reason to stay here, we are leaving, maybe forever, you will never see us again?"
"What?!"
There was silence all around, and it took a long time for Li Yuanzhe to slowly raise his head.
"Do you have to go?"
"We still have a lot to do, we can't stay in one place all the time, this kind of problem, you should be with Yuraiya who has been with you for a longer time!"
Yuraia shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry!"
"It's not like a joke!" Xiao Lin sighed regretfully.
"I'll never forget you!" Li Yuanzhe said.
"Of course, I won't!"
At this time, Noah's words seemed to pour cold water on everyone: "The second thing, about the two of us, as well as the disasters on the earth, and all kinds of supernatural cognitions, all the memories related to these things, I will erase them!"
"Erase our memories?" everyone was shocked.
"What?!" Li Yuanzhe was startled and stared at Noah tightly, "You still want to do this?"
"This is the rule!" Noah said lightly: "The rule is the law, and the law is the rule!"
"We're not gods, so we don't obey that!"
"This is no longer such a problem, the plan from the beginning is that the existence of God cannot be exposed to the human world, this is my mistake, I naturally need to make amends!"
"But this memory is very precious to me!" Li Yuanzhe covered his chest, "I have also learned a lot in this year!"
"Tell me what you've learned!"
"A heart for the sake of partners, a power that exists for protection!"
"I didn't teach you that, that's why it's holding you back!"
"Huh?"
"This memory is only a small part of your life, and it is nothing to me, but hey" Noah stroked her long hair, "I'm not so quiet, I'll give you a chance now!"
Noah closed her eyes intently, and a cloud of light separated from Noah's body, forming a doppelganger of Noah.
"Li Yuanzhe, I know that you have grown up rapidly recently, give you a chance, defeat me, and take back all what I just said!"
"That's what it means!" Li Yuanzhe began to release his power, looking at Noah with an excited face.
"It's a deal!"
