The sky is dotted with stars.

Lil stood silently in the center of the city, bowing her head in contemplation.

The messengers were all gone. But what was left for her was a deep fog. The Motha and Clay tribes both put forward a simple condition: she would wait until the day of the sacrifice two months later, and she would participate in the sacrifice as a member of both tribes.

Such a requirement. In fact, the so-called greedy people in their mouths are almost the same. It's just that the difference is in a compulsion, a voluntary.

Moreover, both the Motha and the Clay have pledged that they will never treat Lil as a sacrifice, but only as a part of them. Lil's safety will be protected. No one will be allowed to sabotage. There is no doubt that the guarantees of the Motha and the Klei are strong. But Lil had a different idea.

Powerful, mysterious, and also limited to levels.

If it was a request from the Second Realm, would they be able to resist it? If not, what will you talk about protecting yourself?

In this world, there has never been a lack of cruelty, and what is lacking is only warmth.

Lil had seen a lot of betrayals, and she wouldn't be confident in the assurances of the two messengers.

But, then again. The messengers of the two races were much smarter than the others. There is also a big difference between this compulsion and voluntary. Li'er could see the strength behind them, and she could also feel that the universe had evolved to the point where it was today, but they were the strongest in the third world.

As she herself said, to be strong, there must be a strong reason.

In this way, the Mota and Klay are many times stronger than the Elts and Gustas.

There was a faint smell of ash in the air, and the wind was blowing......

Lil's red hair fluttered in the wind, like a dream.

She pondered for a moment before turning her head to Singal beside her.

"Honestly, what strength are you now?"

"Comet star. Hey. "Singer touched the back of his head, and he looked 'shy'." I have always claimed to be a meteor star, but in fact I have reached the peak of the comet star, and I am only one step away from stepping into the meteorite star. ”

"It's not easy." Lil nodded. Said clearly. "You need to accumulate."

"When you step into the meteorite star. You will feel that accumulation is your most memorable years. But you'll never get a chance to relive it. ”

"I know it." Singh nodded. "So I need time."

"It's a pity. If it were an ordinary person, your sect master would definitely pave a wide road for you. So that you have enough time to accumulate and brew. But we can't. Lil replied, but her voice was cold and unforgiving. Because you know what kind of person your suzerain is. He should also know what kind of situation he is facing now. We don't have time for you to accumulate, although we never expect you to contribute. ”

"At the very least, you must be qualified to live independently."

"This time, I'll let you into the blood pool for a while. That's the only place I can help you. From now on, you have nothing to do with us. ”

Li'er said categorically, but Singal suddenly became serious. Seriously salute Li'er.

"Thank you."

"Just for the pride of your sect master." Lil turned to leave, her voice drifting in the distance. "He never gave in and wanted you to ......"

"No, it won't."

……………………

Gray cloak planet, kilometers underground.

Lil's footsteps stopped, and in front of her, there were two rows of twelve wise men. They were emaciated, but they stood firmly at the mouth of the hole in the core of the blood pool, blocking their steps.

"I don't know when. You too can disobey my will. Li'er said softly, but her voice was full of a faint majesty.

But the wise men were like wooden clay sculptures, and after a while one of them came out and said respectfully to Li'er.

"Your Highness. Your time has passed. Maria has ordered a new 'cycle' to begin. ”

"The candidate for the new empress is behind at the moment, and we can't let you disturb her. Please forgive us for our offense. But you should know that this is the 'sequence'. ”

"I know very well." Lil replied. Then he raised his head and looked over the many wise men. Point straight to the cave behind you.

"Mary, in the exercise of her mission. The will of the sequence is inviolable. Don't worry, I'm not trying to change anything, I'm just going to go in and see. ”

"So, ......," the wise man saluted respectfully. Get out of the way.

Lil nodded, and then walked into the cave.

This was originally the location of the split blood pool. It's her secret. But now it's a little strange. The cell samples of the walls were altered, and the defense system was replaced. Liel knew that this meant the creation of a new throne.

And the throne that belongs to her is a thing of the past.

For most people, Lil is the only empress of this kingdom. But that's not the case. Because even Lil has to follow the primitive, genetically transmitted 'sequence' constraints. This sequence is the foundation for her to grow from an ordinary person to a mutant empress, and it is also the 'law' for her to maintain the kingdom.

There are many levels of sequences. The first sequence has nothing to do with her. The only part she can touch is the part after the second sequence.

But even so, she was once the only ruler of this kingdom. The second sequence gives her endless power. If she wanted to, she could even make the subjects of the entire kingdom die.

But now, she is no longer recognized.

The second sequence is a brutal one with rules of self-cleaning, self-circulation, self-competition. Seven years ago, she lost her mark in the ruins. Then according to the sequence, a new empress must be produced. Even if she returns now.

This is the need of the sequence, not transferred by the will of the individual.

Lil doesn't resent Maria. Because that's the 'rule' for mutants. A kingdom, the foundation of a civilization.

So she just wanted to see, to see the new empress.

The cave wasn't long, so Liel soon saw the familiar pool of blood, and saw a quiet, but blue-haired girl by the pool.

"Avril."

"Your Highness Lil." Avril looked at the roof of the cave in confusion, as if in a dream. "Isn't it that the end of all life will be so cruel?"

"............" Lil didn't speak, but her eyes followed Avril's gaze. It took a long time before he sighed.

"This is the law of nature. I'm sorry. ”

"Don't be sorry. Your Highness. Avril whispered. In fact, from the moment my sister sprouted her ambitions, I knew that sooner or later she would have this day. Because the mermaid's heart is pure, it can reflect the evil thoughts of others. I knew my sister had made a mistake, but I couldn't stop her. ”

"Am I too weak? Or am I not worthy of that crown at all? ”

"Not everyone has a backbone that can be held accountable. Avril ......" Lil thought for a moment and whispered. "You're actually a very nice girl. In my eyes, you are purer than anyone else. But...... But this universe will not change because of your purity. It's dirty, it's ugly. To survive in its arms, you need not only a pure heart, but also tenacity and will. “

"I'm sorry, Avril. In my opinion, you are not fit to be an empress. ”

"Sure enough...... ...... so," Avril looked down. But the gaze gradually became clearer, and I got rid of the confusion.

"Your Highness, I want to go home." (To be continued......)
