Two Picks Three: Lu Xiaowei and the World Tree (the end of this volume, ask for push)
Xingyue, who was walking alone on the road, didn't know that Youyou had already made her own choice, and she didn't know what choice Youyou had made.
Xingyue didn't know how long she had been gone, and she had forgotten how long ago the last time the white light attacked her, anyway, it had been a long time, so long that she had forgotten the time.
I don't know how long it took, and as before, a vague light appeared in this ethereal space.
Xingyue walked towards the light without hurrying.
The world behind that light is a world full of life, the world is full of flowers and green grass, the huge world is full of living beings, and the aura is unimaginably rich.
A huge tree grows in the center of this world, but it seems incompatible with the whole vibrant world, the world is full of life, but this tree, half of it has withered, and the other half is also withering.
At the bottom of the tree, a girl in a blue pleated skirt is carrying a small flower basket, and her slender white hands are taking out a ball of light from the basket and placing it on the half-withered root, watching the root absorb the source.
Not far away, a scarecrow was stuck in the ground, gently swaying with the breeze.
The scarecrow already had a pair of bright eyes, and it looked at the girl quietly, trying to remember her every movement, every look.
Although it can't say or move, it still wants to remember her, remember everything about her.
Just after the girl put the last of her source power at the root of the tree, the void fluctuated, and a portal with a mysterious aura appeared.
The portal is one foot high, the door frame is full of mysterious runes, and the door panel is depicted with mysterious ancient tomb maps, ancient sacrifice patterns, images of corpses and blood seas, etc., and a strong smell of blood comes from the closed mysterious portal.
The girl's brows furrowed slightly, looking at the mysterious portal, the portal slowly opened, and a young man wrapped in gray robes, full of snow, walked out with a black and gold pole and a dragon pattern carved with a dragon pattern.
His eyes were full of vicissitudes and confusion, and the whole person seemed to crawl out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and his whole body was covered with the smell of blood that could not be concealed.
This person is Xingyue, who has been crawling and rolling in the Three Thousand Worlds for so many years, and on his body, that trace of a young man's heart has long been wiped out, and all that remains is persistence and killing.
"Excuse me, what kind of place is this?" Xingyue looked at the girl in front of her.
She was dressed in a blue pleated skirt, her exposed arms were snow-white and crystalline, a faint aura circulated on her body, her dark blue eyes condensed with a faint mist, and her red lips were white teeth.
"Are you here to kill me?" The girl looked at Xingyue, and the mist in her eyes became even better, and it was about to condense into water droplets, and she wanted to cry.
Xingyue frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" He really didn't understand what this girl meant, and when they first met, he asked himself if he was here to kill her.
"You're not here to kill me, that's fine. The girl looked at Xingyue happily, "My name is Lu Xiaowei." As he spoke, he pointed to the scarecrow swaying in the wind not far away, "It's called the scarecrow, and it's my only friend." β
Speaking of his only friend, a touch of sadness flashed in Lu Xiaoyou's eyes.
Xingyue looked at her and didn't have any other thoughts, "My name is Xingyue, and I am also called the Emperor of Formation." β
"Oh. Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue, his voice was full of joy, "Then I'll call you Brother Yue, you are the first person to come here in so many years." Then she looked at the ancient tree that was about to die, "But this place is going to be destroyed, it's all them, why do you have to fight in my hometown?"
Xingyue looked at Lu Xiaowu with some curiosity, he was the second person who could understand that his name was Xingyue.
Then, Xingyue looked at Lu Xiaowu with some confusion, "May I ask what kind of place this is." β
Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue curiously, "You don't know, this is the core world of the Three Thousand Worlds, this tree is the Origin World Tree of the Three Thousand Worlds, and now the World Tree is going to die, and the Three Thousand Worlds are going to be finished." As he spoke, Lu Xiaowu shed sad tears.
"It turns out that this is still three thousand worlds. Xingyue was a little disappointed.
Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue's disappointed eyes, and waved his fist at Xingyue angrily, "What's wrong with the Three Thousand Worlds, in fact, the Three Thousand Worlds were very beautiful before, all worlds are connected, there are countless races and creatures living here, they all live in peace and never fight." β
"However, one day, there were suddenly many, many powerful beings in this world, and they began to fight as soon as they met, and they also ruthlessly killed the original people of this world. β
"In the end, there were fewer and fewer creatures in this world, and the aura became thinner, and then the world became the world outside, with bones and blood all over the ground, and even the air was full of blood. The sky is no longer blue. β
Xingyue quietly listened to Lu Xiaowu say that the meaning of war is to live, and war represents iron and blood. In the face of war, life is particularly fragile and vulnerable.
Lu Xiaoyou's face was full of tears, looking at Xingyue, his eyes were full of puzzlement, "Why are they like this, isn't it good to live in peace?"
Xingyue lowered her head, "Because of faith, because of choice, because of persistence." β
"Then if I choose to kill them all, will this world be peaceful?" Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue, his eyes flashing with innocence.
Xingyue shook her head, "No, because of their existence, beliefs will clash, choices will be different, and the war will last forever." β
"What about killing them all?" Lu Xiaoyou's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, but in Xingyue's eyes, he was still so naΓ―ve.
Killing them all, it's not easy to say, they are all standing outside of time, dominating the existence of sentient beings, as strong as bronze have to retreat with hatred, in their eyes, sentient beings are just chess pieces on the chessboard of heaven and earth.
Xingyue shook her head and smiled, looking at Lu Xiaoyou, "You are really innocent and cute." β
Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue, "Three thousand avenues, I have already understood two thousand nine hundred, I am confident that I have the strength to stand outside of time." β
Xingyue was a little surprised, this Lu Xiaowu doesn't seem to be weak! But even if she has that strength, what can she do, and there is not only one person who plays chess.
"You don't have to stand outside of time to control this game, you know, in addition to the people who play chess, there are also people who watch chess. β
"Then, then I can only accept my fate?" Lu Xiaowu looked at Xingyue, tears flashing in his eyes, "Watching the World Tree wither little by little, watching my hometown shatter little by little under their wanton killing. β
Xingyue stopped talking, he didn't know what to say, and persuaded her, your hometown is not saved, abandon it, how is this possible, he rushed into the floating realm desperately, he fought with gods and demons desperately, and even sealed the sea of gods and fell to the altar, isn't that just for his hometown, for his hometown, for the people he cares about, he is desperate.
Looking at Lu Xiaoyou's desperate expression, a tear flashed in Xingyue's eyes, and she raised her snow-white slender hand to her heart, "poof", the palm of her hand sank into her body, and golden blood flowed out of the wound.
Watching Xingyue plunge her hand into her heart, the golden blood kept flowing.
"Ah" Lu Xiaowu exclaimed, "Brother Yue, what are you doing here." β
"It's fine. Xingyue said calmly, then reached out and dug out, pulled out his right hand, and stretched it out to Lu Xiaoyou's body, and the wound on his chest was slowly healing.
Lu Xiaowu watched Xingyue stretch out in front of him, his right hand with golden blood slowly opened, and a thumb-sized bead with emerald green brilliance was lying quietly in Xingyue's hand. The rich breath of life emanated.
Lu Xiaowu looked at the bead in surprise, and then looked at Xingyue, "Do you want this for me?"
Xingyue nodded, "It should be able to keep the World Tree immortal for thousands of years, for the sake of my hometown, I can do it without hesitation, I believe that we are, one kind of people." β
Lu Xiaoyan looked at the emerald green beads, stretched out his slender and slender jade hand, and gently twisted the emerald green beads that could be stained with golden blood, "For the sake of our hometown, we can all do it without hesitation." β
Xingyue looked at Lu Xiaoyou's white fingertips, which were also stained with her own golden blood, looking so beautiful.
Lu Xiaowu raised his head and looked at Xingyue, "Thank you, Brother Yue, Xiaowu knows what to do." With that, Lu Xiaoyou walked to the World Tree, and gently opened the bead, the bead was suspended in the void, Lu Xiaoyou folded her hands and prayed quietly, her side face was so quiet.
The beads slowly melted into the trunk of the World Tree, and the World Tree swept away its previous decay, and the green leaves grew and matured rapidly, and a rich vitality that could not be dissolved came from the World Tree.
And at this moment, Xingyue also knows that he is no longer immortal.
Xingyue held Zhan Ge in her hand, looking at Lu Xiaowu, she hugged the scarecrow, and murmured, "Scarecrow, I'm leaving, for the sake of my hometown, I'm going to look for that turning point, I don't know if I can succeed, but at least, I've worked hard, I've struggled, even if I fail, I don't regret it." β
After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaowu walked to Xingyue's side, looked at Xingyue, stretched out his slender jade hand, and gently held Xingyue's hand, "Brother Yue, let's go." β
The scarecrow looked at the fading figures of the two, swaying gently in the breeze, as if bidding farewell to Lu Xiaowu, a tear flowed from the scarecrow's eyes, it was so clear and bright.
