Just when everyone, including Yao, was already feeling hopeless, after climbing to a certain height, Yao suddenly found that the inside of the giant tree was actually hollow. Instinctively a mystic, he drove his men to gouge through the walls of the giant tree and into the empty space. ”

"Guess what he saw, Cho?"

"You're so smart, you must be able to guess, Autumn. ”

"He saw the heart of the Eternal. Yes, there it is the heart of the Eternal, which exists in the twisted world because of the twisted cause and effect. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's God's punishment and contempt for us as a human race. So many of us have not found anything for so many years, and Yao just crawled casually and was bumped into by him. The heart of the Eternals only stays there for a moment, and if you destroy it, you will have the only chance to defeat the Eternals. ”

"But Yao didn't, perhaps because he was in a grudge against me, and he gradually hated all mankind. Instead of crushing the heart of the Eternals, he sacrificed the entire expeditionary force in an attempt to merge himself into a part of the Eternals. ”

"He no longer wants to be human, but chooses to become a monster. ”

"You can guess what happened next. After sacrificing everyone and completing the grand secret art, Yao still failed. Half of his body became an Eternal, but the other side was at the level of a Terran. The curse of the giant tree on him was only half removed, but the other half became even worse. He began to roar and roar, and kept crawling towards the giant tree, trying to crawl through his own universe, to find the Eternals, to eat them, to try to make himself an Eternal. And he, oh no, what little reason it has left as the other half of man tells it that it is no match for the complete Eternal. So it went up and down the tree, and it kept wandering for countless years. ”

"In the process of climbing, I don't know what Yao's intentions were, but it still found an appropriate opportunity to drop one of the most powerful giant tree fruits it could find on top of the giant tree, and fell into the human world and smashed it on the stray child. The child, Lu Lie, was hit by the fruit and ate it. In order to suppress the power of fire in his body, he had to climb the giant tree in search of more fruits...... And all this was within Yao's expectations. I don't know what the purpose is that it chose to fulfill its promise to me after so many years, and let Lu Lie go up the tree. Maybe...... Judging from the clues of a series of events that followed, it was Yao who also found a way to ease or even end the curse of the giant tree on the Eternal Heart. ”

"And then the rest of the story is like a running account. Qiu, if you're still here, then you'll definitely stop me with a smile and stop me from talking. I came across the stray kid who had been tricked into coming up from the top of the tree. I was ecstatic and anxious to help him get the Heart of Eternity and then take it. But in the series of adventures that followed, I found that it was a nice little guy, and I gradually fell in love with the child. I began to repent of the mistakes I had made over the years, I regretted, feared, and even imagined that all the things that had happened to me were not really the will of this world, looking down on everything in the world, and then silently punishing me. ”

"Thankfully, Heaven didn't give me a chance to deepen my sin again. At the last moment when we climbed the giant tree, the stray child still did not evolve the eternal heart, but maintained a relatively low-level golden heart. I let him go and jumped into the door of life behind me. ”

"After re-entering the Yellow Springs Country, I went through countless adventures, and finally, by chance, I finally found a way to take out the eternal heart of the other party without harming the source of the other party's life. Soon after receiving this method, I died again in the battle of the Yellow Springs. And the next time I was reincarnated, the time giant told me this way. I saw the boy named Lu Lie on the top of the giant tree again, it turned out that he went to the Borderlands shortly after reaching the top of the giant tree, and was finally teleported here in the game room to help me fulfill my long-cherished wish to enter the bottom of the Yellow Springs Kingdom to find you. ”

"It all came together in the end. I waited for the arrival of the Protoss and made a pact with them, they found you for me, and I will take the Eternal Heart from Lu Lie and help them leave this ghost place where they have been staying for tens of thousands of years...... I know that I may be sorry for the child named Lu Lie by doing this, but I can only let the Protoss send him back to his original world after taking the Eternal Heart, and do my best to make up for his ......"

"In my life, I have committed sins, and there are too many people who are sorry, including Yao, and the reason why it has become like this is completely due to me. But countless journeys through time and space have exhausted the last bit of my life, and I'm afraid that for the rest of the time, I don't know how to make up for it and don't have the ability to make up for him......"

"Thankfully, I was able to see you here at last. No matter what, no matter how much you have paid over the years, you will have reaped the rewards...... I'm dying without regrets......"

Li Yuan slowly walked towards the figure sitting on the edge of the abyss.

It was a skeleton.

It was still wearing a tattered red robe, and vaguely, Li Yuan could still see the woman's heroic appearance back then.

He walked over to the skeleton and sat down. Accompany her to look at the sky of Huangquan Country.

Countless stars flowed slowly at the end of this world, like a feast that would never be extinguished.

"How beautiful. Autumn, being able to look at the stars with you in the last moments of my life is like what we used to look like when we were in college...... I'm very happy. ”

......

The Protoss Elder stood in the distance, coldly looking at Li Yuan and the skeleton's back. At this moment, it did not disturb the reunion of the lovers after a long time and space. Although it is incomprehensible, it is incomprehensible why a creature like a human could pour so much affection into the bones of his dead companion and pay such a great price to find it. For their Protoss, corpses are corpses, and there is no value.

But no matter what, the Protoss eventually kept their promise to him, and they helped him find the man he wanted.

Albeit just a skeleton.
