Volume Finale: Dreams and Hopes

time, after the end of the third defensive mode.

Transfer.

On the first day, everyone was digesting the news that they were trapped and looped dozens of times on the same day.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the same day that the announcement of the end of defensive mode appeared, and when people speculated about who exactly would be the ones to break the loop, a few legendary forerunners who had a good relationship with the middleman......

They all got the news that Jiang Xianwu was the one who broke the cycle, and at the same time - Jiang Xianwu died.

The news came like a bolt from the blue.

In Longxia, there is actually a culture called death worship, as if a person dies, then everything about him becomes noble.

Originally, there were many people who did not recognize Jiang Xianwu, as a legendary forerunner, Jiang Xianwu seemed to rely on luck all the way.

But when he died, when everyone began to remember him, they found out...... This man is a true legend.

Along the way, he cleared almost all of his levels at the SSS-level. Three defensive modes, with the middleman breaking the news, it was also learned that he cleared the level alone.

Even not long ago, defeating the powerful enemy Callando, he was the only one in the world to join forces. Even the enemies he faced were stronger than the rest of the world.

is a praise for Jiang Xianwu and a ridicule of the world's uniqueness.

But now, Wuji is no longer confused.

That legendary savior-like figure is dead.

Under the influence of the cult of death, Jiang Xianwu is already like a saint.

But death is such an absolute thing, and all the remorse and love after death pale and powerless.

During this day, the snow demon burst into tears and cried loudly in the transit station.

The whole person with the light and dust was also depressed, as if he had lost his soul.

In the Voice of the Forerunner section, everyone seems to have a stone pressed in their hearts.

The most difficult thing to calm down is still Lynn.

In the voice of the middleman, Zhong Quan, the strongest of the nine middlemen, said:

"That's the way the world is, there are a lot of great geniuses. The trajectory of their rise is as unattainable as cheating.

There are so many legendary pioneers, but perhaps, Jiang Xianwu's trajectory is the only legend, whether it is unique in the world, or with the light and dust, whether it is watching the sea, or Ke Chongye, it is far from being comparable to his rise trajectory.

I have to admit that this kid is like a miracle itself.

But......

There are many regrets in life, no matter what kind of genius, every miracle he has is created by countless coincidences and accidents.

Such coincidences and accidents will always be used to the end.

If there is no absolute moment, perhaps the child should have been in the long dark night, not waking up from a dream.

Beautiful jade...... You should have experienced it, and you know that in that era, there were countless people who were more gifted than this child. ”

Zhong Duan is a very taciturn person, and when the nine intermediaries discuss certain things, he is basically in a state of non-participation.

It's such a person, and this time it's unprecedented.

Because Zhong Jian understands the feeling of losing his beloved.

"Some people will have a trajectory against the sky, take the road against the sky, and do things against the sky.

Everything they grow up to be unreasonable, and it looks like the protagonist of the story, all the way through, all the way to the green light.

But a story is a story, and reality is reality.

In that era of the existence of the Sage and the Great Forerunner, there were many such people.

We don't understand what kind of story we're writing.

Jiang Xianwu is amazingly beautiful, so in the Origin World, those corrupt and polluted seeds who were consecrated in the night of divine bestow are not amazing?

At the moment when the nine of us chose to bear the sins and survive, didn't we think in our hearts that what we did would open up a new world, and the fate we carried was the destiny to save the world.

But those who become gods have been reduced to the rules. Today, we are trapped in this small world, and we cannot be free.

None of the saints of the past, the Great Forerunners, survived.

That's the reality...... A man, a genius, a hero, even a man who is expected to be a savior, can die suddenlyβ€”miserably. ”

"The same is true of history, the emperor who unified the world is obviously an emperor through the ages, as if this person should have the next step and a more extraordinary experience...... but suddenly he fell ill and died. ”

"There are also amazing and brilliant generals, like a killing god who fell from the sky, beating the foreign invaders to the ground, and their lives are just like the rising sun, but they suddenly died."

Lynn ...... Wait for the next miracle, Jiang Xianwu's journey is over, at least for as long as I can see - he doesn't exist. ”

"He no longer belongs to the future, only to the past, in the future, maybe he is the same in the world, maybe he is with the light, maybe he is us, or a newcomer who has just escaped death and completed the first test......"

"Maybe maybe it's a demon, a corrupt species, or some human in the Third World?"

"Who knows, anyway, there will be someone who will open up a new era."

"The end is coming, and who knows the outcome?"

"People will evaluate this era in the future, and when they recall Jiang Xianwu, they will probably say that this is a regrettable genius in such and such an era, and with his efforts, the end will almost come."

"Or, the corrupt species is the protagonist, people recall Jiang Xianwu, they will say, this is a headache in the apocalyptic era, under his hindrance, almost the end of the world can not come...... Who knows? ”

Zhong Duan said no more.

He seldom spoke, let alone said so much.

This is not for Lynn alone, but for every intermediary.

In the long prison life, which vein has not met a few people with the "halo of the protagonist"?

There are all of them, but these people also died in the advance world in the end.

Lynn doesn't accept that, but what else can she do as an intermediary?

Jiang Xianwu participated in not a conscription, so there was no mechanism for redemption mode.

To die in the world of advance is to die in real death.

At the same time, Zhong Duan also explained later that with Jiang Xianwu's death, many things in the future may change.

Since Jiang Xianwu has reached too many SSS levels and locked too much history, it is likely that he will ...... Spacetime will have some logical bugs, but it will also fix itself.

Maybe sometime in the future, people won't even remember Jiang Xianwu.

……

……

Day 2 after the end of Defensive Mode.

When He Guang Tongchen was sorting out Zhou Baiyu's relics, he found the letterhead that Zhou Baiyu left for everyone.

Since the cycle was broken, nothing had yet appeared for the day. But on the second day, the letter left by Zhou Baiyu, the only one who did not follow the cyclical trajectory, suddenly appeared.

At the same time, He Guang Tongchen discovered that in Zhou Baiyu's mobile phone, there was a text message waiting to be sent, which was sent to his parents.

There is no password set on the mobile phone, all of which indicates that Zhou Baiyu is actually ready to die.

Thinking of this, He Guangtongchen's heart was sour.

This guy ...... Why didn't you think about bringing us with you?

Or did he go to the advance world through some special channel and couldn't take us with him?

Or...... He had tried very hard to tell us what to do, but in the end it turned out that it didn't help.

No matter what it was, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness with the light.

He didn't protect his men.

Trembling and opening the letterhead, He Guangtongchen called everyone and read out the contents of the letter:

"President, based on my belief that I will definitely not die, I think there is a high probability that you will not be able to see this letter.

Of course, even if you see it, I will come back one day. But at least, you see it, and the loop is broken.

I went to do something big, and although I didn't know where the pollution was yet, I thought that my approach should work.

However, the main purpose of this letter is to ...... Maybe I'll die.

If I die, I hope you will be successful in the future.

Although it becomes the rule when a god dies, a small person like me is probably completely dead when he dies.

But if there is Hades, I will try to bless you. By the way, if I die honorably, can you be cheeky enough to help me ask the world for money for my parents?

I thought, if I really die, I can be regarded as dying to save the world, I hope Wuji will not be confused, it is better to use the fact that I died to promote himself. My parents benefited, and he was a good person for a while, so why not?

As for Hao Yun's side, it's a headache, I always think that when the end is approaching, it's ridiculous to engage in things between men and women.

If I'm dead, please reject her explicitly for me (if I lived, I would probably still hang her like a scumbag, after all, it will help the world)......

This is probably very underbeaten, very underbeaten, very underbeaten. But whether it's Midelle, Bai Ling, or Hao Yun......

To be honest, there are personal feelings, but more than that, I think they are valuable.

I probably wouldn't dare tell them this while I was alive, but I'm dead, if they hate it...... Then burn a few sews and come to hell to torture me.

Eh, I feel like I'm going to die...... It's unlucky.

Next, I will briefly talk about my method, as well as some of the history I have come into contact with, maybe these things will be useful to you in the future......"

In the second half of the letter, Zhou Baiyu tells a lot of what he has seen and heard, as well as the "secrets" that he feels are useful to other pioneers.

About the sewing body, about the white field and the yellow fallacy demon clan Zhou Zhu and so on.

After reading these contents, I woke up and lit a cigarette, feeling very unhappy.

There is a depressing feeling that the best brother is dying for himself.

Only Wuxin always felt that people who couldn't even kill with a "Shura smile" shouldn't die like this.

But he also understood...... Since even the middleman said so, probably, Zhou Baiyu is indeed dead.

……

……

Fifty-day after the end of the third round of defensive mode.

Zhou Baiyu's parents or confidantes were all very painful at first.

But in fact, time can kill everything.

Everyone has gradually returned to normal life, Jiang Xianwu and Zhou Baiyu will not be forgotten. But it just won't be forgotten.

Everyone has a new life to face.

Everyone will turn a new page.

After drinking heavily for a while, Sister Lin gradually came to her senses.

The alienant named Xinkui seems to be doing well, and the success rate of alienation has increased a lot.

Xinkui is an alien rescued by Zhou Baiyu in the Land of Lightless.

Xinkui has always admired Zhou Baiyu.

Because Sister Lin will give Zhou Baiyu a good look, she will ...... other alienated people It's hard to put into words.

After Zhou Baiyu's death, Sister Lin was decadent for a long time.

Although the middleman will be divided into many points, that kind of depression in the heart affects every middleman.

So almost all the aliens felt that for a while, Sister Lin's drunken dream died.

They couldn't have imagined that one person could influence Sister Lin to such an extent.

Even if Xinkui behaved very well later, Sister Lin would never easily have hope for a person anymore.

……

……

On the seventy-ninth day after Zhou Baiyu's death, the Beast Demon Emperor and the Fear Demon Emperor, plus the Hades Demon Emperor, the three major Demon Emperors joined hands and a battle broke out with the seam.

Although the seam devoured the Flame Demon, in this battle, it was still severely injured by the Beast Demon Emperor.

But there is no clear sense of victory or defeat in this battle.

Because the sewing escaped.

The three major demon emperors have also learned smartly, and they don't give the sewing any chance to devour and grow, and they basically don't use the combat power below the demon king level.

But they also realized that sewing is really difficult to kill.

The three of them joined forces and absolutely suppressed, but the sewing still survived.

This will definitely make people laugh when they say it.

Three Demon Emperor levels, but one Demon King level can't be retained.

Of course, in fact, not long ago, in the outer regions, three demon god level were also attacked by a demon king level lair.

The latter seems more humiliating when it comes to it.

The advance continent, with constant disputes, belongs to the stage of sewing white spirits, and it is getting bigger and bigger little by little.

The era of belonging to the demon race seems to be fading little by little.

And the new pioneers are constantly growing.

A new era may be coming, but does this really mean that those once amazing and brilliant "old people" have withdrawn from the stage of history?

……

……

Strange trains.

A strange train that never stops, always on the way.

Mel wears a mask, even when she sleeps.

As a man of the old times, Mel is always alive. Her story never ends.

She hadn't entered the fifth order yet, but she was already a half-step fifth order.

Although Mel is not a demigod, there is a difference, and when he reaches the fifth order, he already has the possibility of killing gods.

That's why Theros asked Mel to give a reason to live after killing the demigods.

Because in Theros' eyes, Mel's threat is no weaker than that of a demigod.

Just give this woman enough props and enough time...... She can make a bunch of rule-level items.

She may not have such a rebellious trajectory, but she has gone further than many geniuses.

Mel, who was immersed in sleep, suddenly woke up.

The eyes under the swirl mask appeared a little playful......

"Dream? Is it a nightmare-related ability? ”

Mel wasn't sure if it was a natural dream or her own, invaded.

This is also known as dreaming.

But speaking of which, the child has been dead for more than three months...... At this time, you are actually dreaming?

"I'll give you another chance."

Mel closed his eyes as he said this.

When she entered the dream for the second time, she met the blonde-haired, well-mannered man again.

This time, Mel is sure, it's not a natural dream. My dream has indeed been invaded.

"My name is Mark, please listen to my request and save my best friend. I'm about to become the rule, and this will give me a voice, and I'm going to use my voice to get my friends back into the world. ”

"But he needs bones...... Intact bones, his bones are blackened, and only you can gather the people who rescued him. ”

Mel woke up.

This time, Mel was sure that there was something powerful inside that child.

It's been so long, and you can still invade your dreams?

Coming to be the rule? Other words...... Is this God?

A god trying to help that child?

Mel was surprised, but also amused.

She burst out laughing.

She'd seen too many geniuses in history, and those geniuses died all of a sudden.

So she knew that there was no such thing as a man of destiny.

The death of that child is just another confirmation of this sentence.

But at this time, she seemed to foresee-

The return of that child.

……

……

Pantheon.

With Jiang Xianwu's death, many of the treasures on his body were also divided among the three supreme powers of the Pantheon.

Among them, the most covetous of Box is the mysterious treasure of the "God of Nightmares and Nothingness", the Dream of Void.

This treasure with cracks made him very curious, what kind of power can make all the mysterious treasures crack?

Although Boxy is not interested in the two divine fetuses of Nightmare and Nothingness, this mysterious treasure from the hands of Eternal Night is different from the other mysterious treasure Eternal Laughter.

The dream of the void, even if it is not a contract, can bring a lot of help.

"Immune to spiritual invasion and open the ...... state of nothingness"

These are all divine skills.

Box was excited, but he didn't expect that there were two mysterious treasures in the hands of an ant.

Although he had already found out later, the two mysterious treasures had nothing to do with the god of games and entertainment, and Callando also released them.

The so-called treasure offering is just a cover for the ant to destroy the seal.

Of course, he still admired the ant.

There can be no second such seal. So that ant indirectly saved the world.

"I obviously have the ability to nihilize, but I didn't use this ability to escape...... Although it's true that you can't escape. I'd rather be burned to bones than give up destroying the seal, but I'm also a character. ”

In fact, Box admired the "assassin" of that day in his heart.

So Box, made a special seal for it.

He placed the bones of the Assassins after they had been burned in many boxes.

Using these bones as a medium, a powerful seal was made.

This kind of seal can allow him to be blessed with greater power in the Pantheon.

This is the "Hero's Bone", a special item that is only needed for special seals.

All this time, Box was on the lookout for such an item.

But there are too few people who can afford the word hero.

He originally had the attitude of giving it a try, after all, so many pure walkers were also pulled out of their bones by him, but none of them could be regarded as "hero bones".

This time Box is no exception, if the target can't support the seal and is not a hero bone, then destroy the body completely, or simply throw it to Lect.

Lecter didn't eat the man's flesh because Black Flame burned the flesh clean.

Only this skeleton remains.

Out of the need for rituals and seals, Boxy is going to go to the bone.

I didn't expect it......

The bones of this self-proclaimed Huang Yu are really rare heroic bones.

Box was a little curious about how much this person had done to be worthy of the word hero.

In short, the body of "Huang Mu" seems to have been contaminated with Huang Mu's luck again, and it has not been destroyed or swallowed.

Because of this, the faint hope has not dissipated, and in the endless darkness, there is still a little fire foam.

……

Pantheon.

Box has been dreaming a lot lately.

In the dream, he dreamed of a man named Mark.

Mark tells him that he hopes Boxy will summon him and let him out.

Mark recounted his own experience, he was originally a foreigner, and came to a city full of Longxia people to work hard.

He was a wicked man at that time and liked to stir up disputes.

But in the end, it was cleaned up by a guy.

He met a man named Eternal Night. Eternal Night tells him that only true repentance can lead to freedom.

Mark repented.

He had a cleansing and repentance of his life.

Although, the man who imprisoned Mark was always jealous of Mark's abilities, because Mark's speed became stronger and stronger with the naked eye......

He always felt that Mark's overtures were a disguise.

But he didn't know it......

Mark has really changed.

One day, Mark felt that the existence of the eternal night, and his own existence, were ultimately inconsistent in will.

"You made me be nice to him, made me repent, I did it all, but what about you? After all, are you willing? You are a mystical treasure, you are not in a relationship with him, do you have your own ambitions? ”

"I've always been curious...... Can I pull you off your throne? After all, my friend has done this before, pulling you down from the eternal throne. ”

Mark launched a battle against Eternal Night, and he believed that if Eternal Night was also absolutely loyal to his partner, then let himself, the person who absolutely cares about his partner, replace Eternal Night, and Eternal Night should not refuse.

The end result......

Once again, the Eternal Night has been defeated, and Mark, the supreme believer of the God of Copying and Copying, has been removed from the throne.

It sounds a lot like the rise of a villain.

He even killed the strongest being in the dream cage.

But in fact...... He's really not a villain.

Boxy lamented the dream, and Boxy gradually became fond of sleepwalking.

The core of the Dream of the Mysterious Treasure has changed, and now this Dream of the Void can be renamed "Mark's Dream".

When people other than Zhou Baiyu wear it, they have to weigh themselves and whether they are qualified to wear it.

Mark's rise in the dream world is even more rebellious than any genius of any era.

Because of copying and plagiarism, this is the most shameless and perverted god fetus in this world.

He was all-encompassing and eventually seized everything.

Naturally, the nightmare and nothingness were also taken in by Mark.

It's just that, in the end, Mark is just a "dream spirit".

He defeated the Eternal Night, but in a sense, he also lost to the Eternal Night.

The eternal night changed him forever, and the meaning of his defeat of the eternal night also changed.

Over the next few days, Mark continued to influence Boxes through his dreams.

He kept talking to Box, telling him how much he would help him once he came out.

Dominate the pantheon? No, I can give you the whole world.

In Dreams and Nothingness, you can sit on a throne in the void and look down on the world.

Box is undoubtedly heartfelt, but Box is also undoubtedly sane.

He was always on the lookout.

It's just that this vigilance is far less vigilant than the previous owner of "Mark's Dream".

The previous master, however, would rather be burned to death by the black flame than release Mark.

In contrast, Mark doesn't feel like it's someone's distrust of him.

He just thinks that this is the person who has responsibility.

So Mark looked down on Boxes more and more.

Mark could feel that Box was not far away from being moved by him.

But Mark couldn't do more.

For example, ask Box to put together the bones of his best friend.

This will make Box realize that the mystical treasure is self-aware and will try to manipulate the wearer.

Mark didn't dare to venture in.

So he had to find a way...... Reach out to people you've been in contact with your best friend.

Because of the distance, he can only contact those who "dream" of his best friends.

In the dream, Mark seems to be an all-powerful magician.

But this premise is also dead - it has to be dreamed of by someone.

The longer a person is dead, the harder it is to appear in the dreams of the living.

But there is only one person who can dream of ......

Then you can invade this person's dreams.

In the Pantheon's Box, three months after wearing the Dream of the Void, Mark invaded the dreams of many people, but the only people who were really useful and could have a "battle for the return of corpses and bones" were the following people.

With the light and dust, waking up and impermanent, Snow Demon, Zhang Haoyun, Mel - as well as Zhou Zhu, Bai Ling, Midel.

Mel was a surprise, and even Mark didn't expect that Mel would care so much about his best friend.

I will care to the point of "dreaming at night".

Maybe before parting, the best friend showed his speciality?

But none of this matters. Importantly, Mel is the medium, the bridge, the key to connecting everyone to the place where the bones are.

In the dream, Mark said to them:

"Once I am summoned, I will directly complete the divine mandate, because because of some of my characteristics, I have progressed too quickly, and I have very little time left on earth...... Not enough to put his bones together. ”

"I'm not sure when I'll be called, I'm not even sure...... If you go here, will you lose your lives...... Perhaps I am leading you to death, and my decisions will accelerate the corruption of the world. ”

"But I've got to try, I've got to try to tell you...... There is indeed such a method. ”

"The point is that the woman named Mel, remember, you can only make her realize that our friends are more valuable than the Pantheon...... There is a slight chance of winning. ”

"In the end, people always have to have hope, and they always have to dream. Thank you for your dreams, so that our mutual friends, no real death. ”

"Hopefully, in the great land of corruption, we will witness his resurrection."

"Finally, if there is a world above the gods, I may be waiting for you in that world."

……

……

Soon after Makto's dream, Heguang Tongchen told the news to the middleman and the world.

The news was delivered quickly, and in a short time, almost all the forerunners knew about it.

It's not just the first mover, it's the middleman. Even the corrupt side is preparing.

Among the forerunners, the legendary forerunners are all assembled.

There is no other thing in the world, with light and dust, waking up and dreaming impermanently, phantom flowing smoke, watching the sea, Ke Chongye, all assembled.

Several people who participated in the Nightmare Bridge back then, after finally discussing it, decided that even if there was sporadic hope, they would save Jiang Xianwu.

Not only that, but the Duck Prophet, the Snow Demon, the Ugishin, the Trickster, and even all the people of the Baichuan Shelter are also willing to contribute.

At the same time, on the side of the corrupt species, Zhang Haoyun and Bai Ling are also willing to go.

Most importantly, he is naturally the owner of the Strange Train, and how Mel chooses is the key to all plans.

If Mel is willing to let these people get into the car, this plan to "save Private Jiang Xianwu" may succeed.

For this reason, Lin hopes that Shinkui can participate, and at the same time, Lin gives Shinkui a certain token from when she was with Mel.

This item may be able to make Mel do something that goes against his principles.

……

……

A few more days passed.

On this day, there are people in the real world, and there are people in the advance world.

But no matter where they are, eventually they will come together.

Because of the golden train, appeared.

The dazzling golden yellow is like a dazzling hope, but people can't help but open their eyes to see.

When everyone gathered in the same car, Mel, wearing the vortex mask, said as crew member number one:

"I have completely violated the rules of this train, and I made this decision probably because I was confused by dreams. But it's also quite enjoyable to be confused once. ”

"Before, I just took people where they wanted to go. Today, it seems that such a journey has never been done before. Because it's not somewhere to go. ”

Looking at the forerunners, Mel seemed to remember the many prides of heaven in his own world.

She smiled indifferently, history is always similar, but history ...... It's not exactly a copy of the past, either.

In the process of alternating between the old and the new, many legends will be born.

"Maybe this time, what I'm taking you to arrive at is a new era."

Mel knew that these people were the future, the most powerful of the forerunners.

If they die, then in a sense, a new era has arrived.

It's just that this era is probably not very friendly to human beings.

If they lived, if the guy who had God in his body was really resurrected......

Perhaps, it is also the arrival of a new era.

In any case, Mel, as an old man, is happy to see this scene.

When she received Xinkui's token, she seemed to see the scene when she was separated from Rin.

Mel smiled, in fact, this kind of thing is always used, depending on whether it is true feelings.

As the only great pioneer in the current era, a real alienation maniac, if she doesn't make a move, this group of heavenly pride must be ...... There is only the fate of falling.

Thinking that Lin was willing to hand over this item, she smiled and smiled, and there was a trace of imperceptible tears in her eyes:

"It is an honor for me, a person of the old days, to witness and participate in such an action. I'm here to help. ”

Even if you are as proud as the world is the same, you know that the person wearing the vortex mask in front of you is unfathomable, and may still be above the middleman.

He didn't know how dangerous the Pantheon headquarters really was, but he knew that with the help of this person, the team's chances of winning would definitely not be zero.

And as long as there is some slight chance of winning, then this trip is worth it.

He Guang Tongchen didn't speak, he just looked at the scene outside the car window, wiping the sharp black blade, his eyes sharp.

If there really is a new era, whether it is the end of the world or a beautiful new world, he hopes that what he has is, in addition to this black knife, a friend who can give his life.

This friend's name is Zhou Baiyu.

In Zhou Baiyu's story, He Guang Tongchen is willing to use this knife to cut off all the footnotes called "ending".

Until the end of the apocalypse.
