Chapter 34: Fate
"Your Majesty, this is my newborn child!"
A woman broke the deathly silence in the square and rushed to the high platform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The guards, like countless others in the field, were already confused and sluggish, and instead of choosing to do their duty, they let the woman run past them.
The woman held up a newborn baby boy in the middle of the platform with her withered hands and presented herself to the heroic man with a halberd in the center of the platform.
Looking at the baby, the heroic man's face was full of sadness, and if it had been in the past, he would have praised: "This is really a beautiful child, and he will definitely grow up to be an outstanding warrior in the future."
Now, however, he is completely speechless.
"Your Majesty, has the Flame of the Beast been taken away by the enemy?
With a pleading tone, the woman knelt down in front of the heroic man with a "plop" and looked into his eyes with a longing gaze.
"Yes...... My people, the war is over, and we have lost......" The heroic man was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly in his deep, hoarse voice.
Hearing the words of the heroic man, the woman stood up tremblingly, her face full of despair.
"Liar, liar, liar! Didn't you say that we will win!"
The woman began to frantically tear the gilded armor on the heroic man's body, and with her actions, the crowd in the audience erupted as if they had just woken up from a dream:
"Kevin, you faint man, you've ruined our world!"
"Kevin, you faint man, you've ruined our world!"
"Kevin, you faint man, you've ruined our world!"
............
The Skeleton King sat lonely on his throne, and for some reason he suddenly remembered himself thousands of years ago, and the scene that had happened after announcing to the world that the Beast Flame had fallen into the hands of his enemies still haunted him.
At this time, a strong light flashed, and countless mystical runes outlined Xia Yu's figure in the middle of the main hall, and he didn't stay in that world for too long, and was transmitted back here by a mysterious law power.
"You're back. ā
"Yes, I'm back. ā
"O King of Salaries, look at the way you look, you already understand everything. Looking at Xia Yu's gloomy expression, the skeleton said.
Xia Yu didn't answer, but walked lightly to the edge of the main hall, stared at the blood-like void, frowned, and sighed, and after a long time, he turned around and said:
"The world I live in is called the Divine Blessing Continent, and there are two kinds of flames there, one is called the 'First Fire' and the other is called the 'Source Fire'. ā
"They represent two civilizations, the first of which is the civilization of the 'First Fire', who built a magnificent city called the 'City of Glory'. And the second civilization is the civilization of the "Source Fire", which inhabits the 'Immortal City', which is also the civilization I am in. ā
"The beginning of everything was the war known as the 'War of Salary' more than 3,000 years ago, when the existence of another world first invaded the world of the First Fire Civilization, but was defeated by the First Fire Civilization, and even the origin of their world, the Flame of the Beast, became the price of the war. ā
Xia Yu once again cast his gaze on the void and shook his head with a sigh.
After that, the First Fire Civilization, which was originally about to enjoy the fruits of victory, was robbed of half of the First Fire Core by a giant creature dormant in the abyss, so the First Fire and the Beast Flame did not merge together as expected. And most of the human beings of the First Fire Civilization have also been reduced to undead people without self-will, and so far, the First Fire Civilization has been destroyed. ā
"For some reason, on the basis of the Flame of the Beast, the human race once again established a city known as the 'Immortal City'. The Flame of the Beast was also renamed, and they called it the Source Fire, and this ancient past was also artificially erased, and everyone believed that this world was the only one, and they lived happily in the Source Fire Era, but they didn't know what would last for them. ā
Xia Yu's chest began to rise and fall violently, as if he was suppressing some kind of intense emotion. Suddenly, he opened his hands, as if to embrace the world, and said in a loud voice:
"Look at this world! This world is what the flame looks like after it is extinguished, and every world will eventually fall into such a tragic result, and all human beings will have to face a choice after all! No one can escape this cruel fate......
"Perish, or plunder others, destroy other people's worlds!"
At this time, the red light in the skeleton's eyes flickered even more violently, and his originally majestic voice seemed to have lost its strength:
"Salary King, you have come to this conclusion from what I call 'fate'. ā
Xia Yu nodded.
The skeleton continued, "You are right, I sent you out of this world just now, and only the king who is protected by the flames can be qualified to witness the truth of the world with his eyes. ā
"Do you see? That black beast, that's our god, and the god of all worlds. And the flame ......"
Xia Yu interrupted the skeleton's words: "The flames will be extinguished eventually, won't they? When the flames are extinguished, it is also the time when the giant beast dies. ā
"That's right, you're smart, Salary King, and all the worlds call this behemoth 'Nightmare', and many of you have had the privilege of seeing them in their nightmares. They are the only beings born in the world when the heavens and the earth first opened, a total of 10,000 and 1, and they also represent 10,000 and one worlds. ā
"Their lives are limited, and the only way to sustain them is to take the flames from the bodies of other 'Nightmares' and merge them with their own flames, which is why we were born. We have no choice, if the flame goes out, the world will be like this. ā
After hearing this, Xia Yu stared at the deep eye hole of the skeleton and asked solemnly:
"You invaded our world more than 3,000 years ago, it must be that the 'Flame of the Beast' is about to be extinguished, can I ask you to tell me how long it will burn today, 3,000 years later. ā
The skeleton was silent, and after leaning less, his voice sounded again:
"Eight years, eight years at most, will be extinguished, and then your world will come to an end. ā
"Eight years, such a short time!" Xia Yu was shocked.
"That's right, even if you want to sacrifice yourself and use the half of the primordial fire core in your body to fuse with it, it will not help, the cores of both flames must be very intact before you can transform into another new flame and continue your civilization. ā
Xia Yu froze in place.
Eight years?Could it be that within eight years, the other half of the First Fire Core must be reclaimed from the hands of that abyssal giant?
Then, fuse the Source Fire Core with the complete First Fire Core, and either I inherit it, or ...... Dedicated to it?
"It's useless to think about it, but now that you know the truth about the world, have you decided what to do?
The skeleton's voice pierced Xia Yu's heart loudly, and he said the word "King of Salary" very seriously.
"You're asking ......"
"If your flames become one, and the world continues. What are you going to do? You're going to have to make that cruel choice!"
Are you asking me if I would choose to destroy other worlds?
At this time, Xia Yu remembered the people he had seen in this world praying for the dead.
He shook his head bitterly:
"I don't know. ā
Hearing Xia Yu's answer, the skeleton didn't say a word for a long time, and finally, he said in disappointment:
"You go, go to the bottom of this palace, take that person with you......"
Xia Yu knew that he had not been able to give the Heroic Spirit the answer he wanted to hear, and as a boy who was only seventeen years old, such a choice was simply too much for him to bear.
He didn't say anything more, but picked up Mu Yun, who had fallen into a deep sleep at some point, and left here.
A deep sigh came from far behind Xia Yu, it seemed to be a kind of repentance, it seemed to be a kind of unwillingness, and it seemed to be a feeling of helplessness for this cruel fate......
