Chapter 67: Reappearance
After the Eternal Heart was originally removed from his chest, Lu Lie would rapidly age to a state of hundreds of years old, leaving behind little life left. But in the end, Li Yuan chose to give his "source" to Lu Lie, and also replaced Lu Lie to bear the curse of aging.
Of course, the divine power and facial features that Lu Lie gained after coming down from the tree were also the credit of the "source" that Li Yuan gave him. Although it is not as good as the genuine Eternal Heart, Lu Lie, who has a source in the mortal world, is also an almost invincible existence. In this troubled world, he relied on his own hands to lay a big country.
Although it ended up like this, it was the general trend after all, and it couldn't go against the will of heaven by relying on personal ability.
"That's why Li Yuan sealed my memory?"
"If that's the case, this bastard can't help but look down on me too much. Just for this kind of thing, I have suffered twelve years of memory loss?"
Just when Lu Lie finished all his memories and stood in place and muttered to himself, the old man on the side smiled and shook his head: "I have fulfilled all your wishes, and when the time comes, I should also go." ”
There was a subtle hint of bitterness and distress in his eyes. However, the path was all chosen by himself, and since this young man had chosen to explore the truth of everything, then he could not help him.
The two little girls behind the old man opened the curtain on the horizon, and a huge spatial crack appeared in this imaginary rose garden. Before the little girl pushed the old man's bamboo chair into the rose garden, a little girl took one last look at Lu Lie's figure: "Grandpa, will he die?" ”
"I don't know. The old man said, "All the results of the secret divination show that this young man has chosen a path of mortality. However, there are so many long rivers of fate in this world, who knows who will step into which river in the next second. ”
The old man and his rose garden disappeared into the spatial crack, and above the empty wasteland, only Lu Lie was left standing in place, immersed in his own memories.
"It turns out that these are the whole truth of the matter. Just when Lu Lie thought that he had read Li Yuan's meaning and understood everything, suddenly, a change appeared again-
Lu Lie's world shook, and a huge Buddha statue slowly rose from the end of the desolate earth, and the huge stone statue rumbled in his ears: "Lu Lie, you have completed the challenge of the eighth layer of the Tower of Despair. It's been nineteen years late, but now it's time to move on to the next level. ”
"An old man awaits you on the ninth floor of the Tower of Despair. And this mission is to kill this old friend of yours, or be killed by your old friend. The winner will enter the tenth floor as the winner of the gaming room, and if you are able to complete the tenth gaming room, you will be able to go to the eleventh floor and make any wish in front of the Lord of Despair. ”
Look at this huge shadow and slowly engulf itself. Lu Lie began to feel that it was difficult to breathe, and suddenly, he understood everything, and he finally understood why Li Yuan had sealed his memories and let himself endure such pain for the next nineteen years-
It's not because Li Yuan doesn't want to let him know the facts. It's also ridiculous to say, after handing over the source to himself, Li Yuan still has a few days to live? How could he be afraid that his own in this world would know the truth? Even if he knew the truth, what could he do? Can he still climb up the giant tree and cut him!?
What Li Yuan really wanted to seal, and what he didn't want Lu Lie to know, was this memory of the Tower of Despair!
Don't forget, the reason why Lu Lie was able to teleport back to the Giant Tree World and see Li Yuan in the previous time and space was precisely because of the mission of the game room in the Tower of Despair!
And in the end, with the help of Lu Lie, Li Yuan found Qiu's corpse, which can be regarded as completing the task of the game room. The original process of the fundamental game room, Lu Lie should have completed this challenge and was about to be promoted to the ninth floor. But Li Yuan didn't want to watch Lu Lie continue to gamble in this meaningless dream, he wanted to let Lu Lie go home. So he came to Lu Lie's aid, and he sealed all the memories about Lu Lie, especially the Tower of Despair.
The Tower of Despair was originally a false world created by the Dream Clan, and the reason why the Tower of Despair is terrifying and its laws cannot be violated is because it is rooted in the subconscious of every resident of the Tower of Despair. It is impossible for a powerful person to overcome his subconscious. This is true of the Terrans, and it is true of other races. Even though Lu Lie knew that the Tower of Despair was just a void, after he had witnessed all the incredible magic created by the Tower of Despair, he only had a little bit of faith in the power of the Tower of Despair, and it was impossible for him to break the rules set by the Tower of Despair and play in it.
And Li Yuan is also a master who knows the meaning of the existence of the Tower of Despair, and when he saw the move, the answer he made was to completely erase the existence of the Tower of Despair from Lu Lie's memory. After being erased, Lu Lie's subconscious no longer had any memory of the Tower of Despair, and of course he didn't have to abide by the laws of the Tower of Despair.
The reason why Li Yuan wanted to erase all the memories on the giant tree, especially about his own existence, was precisely because the Tower of Despair was so deeply rooted in the depths of memory, even if the existence of the Tower of Despair itself was erased, as long as any person, thing, or thing related to the Tower of Despair still existed, Lu Lie would one day resound the Tower of Despair.
Li Yuan's method is very effective, he has kept Lu Lie safe in the world for nineteen years, so that Lu Lie has not remembered the Tower of Despair and returned to this world once in the past nineteen years.
He deserves to live his life in the world he deserves, not to return to a world full of carnage and blood.
This is Li Yuan's last hope.
However, nineteen years later, Lu Lie finally chose to break free from his fate and recalled the time he was together on the giant tree.
This is the path he has chosen, and he has no complaints against anyone, and he will not complain about anyone.
Lu Lie looked at the huge task poster in front of him, an expression of surprise appeared on his face, then turned into fear and despair, he calmed down again, slowly closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing his teeth, he began to smile, laugh, and finally turned into a wild laugh.
"It's time to come, but you can't escape. ”
"Really, Li Yuan, you have postponed the appearance of the Tower of Despair for nineteen years...... Nineteen years is enough, it's time to make a complete break with the Lord of Despair, Yao. ”
