Chapter 89: Warm Illusion
When—
When—
As soon as the declaration was uttered, a bell rang in the void that went straight to the heart.
The bell comes out of nowhere, crisp and melodious, containing the Zen of Daigo empowerment, straight into the heart, which brings epiphany at the same time, but is full of absolute domineering.
Irresistible, impossible to refuse, it's like ringing right in your head!
“...... Who! Who's ringing the bell in my head! Stop!"
Li Yunuan reprimanded angrily, and under the stone steps, Demon Chi knelt down on one knee, put his left hand on his heart, and said humbly: "Everything is as the Divine Monarch said, and the inheritance ceremony has begun." The sound echoed through the walls, as if hundreds of millions of people were singing in unison, covering the sacredness and mystery of religion.
Li Yunuan looked at him blankly, and suddenly covered his face and knelt down.
"But that's not what I want! I have no memories of the past, I'm not the one you're waiting for!"
Crying out loudly, the flames of anger burned her reason, and she didn't even hesitate to pounce on it, sweeping away all the weathered and fragile "treasures" on the stone case.
"I hate being forced to do something I don't want to do!"
Tears flowed, hoarse voices, and the eyes covered with tears faintly flowed with the arrogance of dominating the world.
"Growing up, I lived in the demands of others. Every day, every day, all kinds of voices reiterate to me many noble and great truths that are actually nonsense! Every moment, someone will rush out and tell me, "You can't do what you can't do, you have to do what you have to do...... I have been listening attentively, and I have made it my sole reason to be here to listen and fulfill their demands. Until the day the cage is broken...... I finally realized that the life or death of others has nothing to do with me! I don't live to fulfill other people's dreams, I'm just me, not anyone!"
"When I see civilians exposed to the wilderness because of the war, I cry with anger, but I am only sad and angry. Everyone is selfish, and the lives of thousands of people who don't know each other are harvested like straw, and they can't compare to the blood and tears of the person on the tip of their hearts...... I...... The desire to become stronger, the desire for revenge, has nothing to do with responsibility. If one day I really become a monster, it must be for love and for myself, not for the righteousness of the world!"
“......”
The demon blaze listened in silence, and in the silence, the bell that remained only in fantasy faded away.
Looking at him who always looked blank at the bottom of the stairs, Li Yunuan sighed: "I am a willful person. The best way to control me is to be gracious. If you are willing to listen to me and let the people of the Ten Thousand Sects leave safely, there is still room for negotiation between us. If you try to use them as hostages to force me into submission—you are from the ancients, and you should know better than I do what happens when a dragon is touched by the scales!"
There is a foot of reverse scales under the dragon's neck, and when you touch it, you will be angry, and you will kill people in anger.
She looked at the blazing and waited for him to give in.
And yet—
"Even so, I must put you on the throne of God, and I exist for you. ”
It was as soft as a chanting sound, and it rang clearly between the bells one after another, and the eyes embedded in the center of the purple magic pattern were as clear as a lake, with a demonic wood.
“...... Even if I will eventually be burned to the ground by your wrath, I will not be able to go against the fate of the Divine King. ”
Demon Blaze said softly, raising his head, straightening his waist, spreading his arms, and slowly walking up the steps.
Looking at his fearless figure like a moth embracing flames, Li Yunuan's heart trembled for no reason.
A love and hate imprinted in the deepest part of her memory, flapping her wings and about to break out of the cocoon!
Nope-
She screamed, and before the scream could break out of her throat, she was choked by an invisible hand, and countless images poured out of her mind like the tide of the sea. Everything in front of her was like a dream, the empty palace was ablaze with flames, the rootless red lotus karmic fire was in full bloom on the tips of the wild grass of the Man Dance, she walked slowly on the wasteland of bones in her robes that dragged the ground, stepped on the creaking skeletons, and stepped on the altar with the dark golden cross.
She looked up at the black-clothed king hanging from it. He was already dying, with a wreath of bones on his proud head, black hair covering his face and most of his body, and dark golden blood slowly dripping down his robe, seeping deep into the bones, and he was nowhere to be found.
In front of the altar, the white-robed priest was muttering to the dying king on the cross, dressed in a silver-white gown with a long hem that covered the white bones under the altar.
He turned his back to her, but she lifted her skirt and walked over to him as a matter of course.
He heard her footsteps, raised his hand, and handed out a dark gold knife.
"We succeeded," he said, "and we killed God." ”
Sad, and somewhat justified, she let go of the skirt she held in her hand and solemnly took the knife.
hands, stacked on top of each other.
"It's all over," they said in unison, "and the god-killers will bear the sins of hell and never see each other." But one day we'll break out of the cage and come back here again!"
The moment the last character spit out, the already dark sky suddenly became bloody, and the purple thunder and lightning dragon rolled in the blood-red depths, with the dark golden cross as the center, and the nine-layer thunder tribulation rolled in, but they just clasped each other's hands and swore an oath with their heads held high.
"One day, we will break through the cage of fate and meet again!"
......
The solemn chant broke through the blockade of thunder and lightning and carved directly into the sea of knowledge, so sad and painful, but it made people feel extremely stable, and - majestic!
Yes!
A sudden slip step freed her from the intense feelings that almost tore her body apart—as long as she was dominated by that emotion for even a moment, her consciousness would be completely torn apart by this intense emotion, and she would become a complete stranger.
Lowering his head, the demon blaze was already close at hand, completely unaware of Li Yunuan's experience of hallucinatory hell, he knelt on one knee on the last stone step, looking up at her, full of anticipation.
Looking at his sculpted and upright face, a wave of unexplained disgust arose in her heart.
"I'm not the one you waited for. Dreamily, she knelt down on one knee and reached out to caress the fiery face.
The moment the fingertips touched the purple magic pattern, the power hidden in the ancient talisman was quantified into a streamer that flowed along the fingers into Li Yunuan's sea of consciousness. In an instant, countless amounts of information and knowledge poured in, causing her headache to split.
"It's—"
Spiritual inheritance, a long-forgotten means of inheritance.
The original text was the rules that the ancient powers had taken from the Heavenly Dao cycle, and every stroke and note contained an unimaginable amount of power. But as time passed, the correct way of writing was forgotten, and the power of language was gradually lost. Only a very small number of words and spirits have been inherited by later generations, and they are known as demon-breaking mantras. However, even if they are forgotten, the power contained in the spirit of words will not disappear, and when they are correctly interpreted, everything contained in them will unfold, like a beautiful woman stripped of her armor, fully displayed.
The Yanren is the most commonly used item for the transmission of words and spirits. They can never learn to think in their empty human form, and from the day they are made, they wait repeatedly according to the instructions of the maker, waiting for the end of their fate.
That's why Blaze will tell her so calmly that I exist for you.
So his expression is always so wooden, he is just a container, no matter how flawless his appearance is, in the final analysis, he is just a container.
Maybe not thinking is the real happiness, no life exists to meet death.
Where the fingers slid over, all the talismans melted, and in an instant, most of the demonic face had returned to a calm plain white, and Li Yunuan found that the demonic blaze that had lost the magic pattern was actually quite delicate and weak.
“...... You...... Stop quickly! These are not what I want, I am not the reincarnation of your palace master at all!"
She cried out angrily, and the knowledge that had been passed on to Zhihai had taught her that when the inheritance ceremony was over, the carrier would die.
The bracelet is indeed a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Li family, but my brother is the real owner of it. As for this bronze mask, it was given to me by an old friend of the Divine Monarch who was in my body! I am not the one waiting for you, never have been! I am the same as those people of the Ten Thousand Beginnings, I was ordered to enter the Ice Palace just to steal the treasures of the Divine Monarch!"
Telling all the truth in one breath, Li Yunuan suddenly felt that the whole person was relaxed.
However, the Demon Blaze did not stop the inheritance, and the hand with obvious traces of the sword and axe was raised, resting on her wrist.
"I know all this, and I have known the Tao from the beginning. Even so, you are the one that the Divine Monarch is waiting for. It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. ”
"Fool! I ...... I've never seen a stupider fool than you!"
Li Yunuan said angrily, she couldn't remove her hand, she could only toss her other hand with all her strength, but when she raised her left hand and tried to push away the demon blaze, because of a silver tear, her hand fell weakly.
"I've always been, always been. ”
"He" said softly, using the face of the Demon Blazing and the lips of the Demon Blazing, but Li Yunuan knew that he was not the Demon Blazing.
“...... Too often...... I'm not Sanlo...... You and your servants have mistaken people. ”
The lips are open and words are utterly incomprehensible.
"No, I'm not mistaken. With so much love and hate, how can ......you admit your mistakes? Love you...... Even if you're unrecognizable......"
The confident voice was almost sad, and the demon chime smiled and looked at Li Yunuan.
Tears dripped down and fell on the back of her hand, and countless undeserved memories suddenly flooded in, shocking her consciousness to pieces.
...... Too often...... Too often......
...... Sanlo?!
No, it's not, I'm not Sanlo!
In a trance, another memory raised its head strongly, and "Li Yunuan" slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils were full of gold.
Like the first molten gold, there is the arrogance of the king in the brilliance.
"Too often, you're such an incorrigible fool. She said, "It's long over, everyone is dead, and you're the only one living in an unreal dream." ”
"Dreams? Dreams are also real, another reality. ”
"Demon Blazing" said gloomily, and the left hand placed on Li Yunuan's wrist suddenly lowered, and together with the right hand on the shoulder, hugged her tightly.
"Even if everything about you is fake, my love is real...... Just laugh at my cowardice, I don't have your courage, I don't have his madness, I don't have the courage to fight against destiny, I'm even afraid of reincarnation...... I can only guard the broken shell and dream that I will never wake up......"
Every sentence is as sweet as a dream, immersed in the heart, and hooked into a warm illusion.
Relying on his chest, which had no heartbeat, Li Yunuan's consciousness became more and more blurred......
