Once Upon a Time (End) Welcome back
In front of the forest that stretched for thousands of miles, a group of people flew from the plains in the distance at great speed, and under the leadership of a blonde man, they rushed in and disappeared at the junction of the forest and the plains.
"Area B is detected, safe!"
"Zone E is no problem......"
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, listening to the voices that sounded in turn from the communicator, the blonde man was a little empty in front of him.
A mechanical helmet floating in mid-air broke through, and a familiar mechanical voice came from it: "That's right, according to the detection of the space detector, the last wavelength of space-time disappeared around here." β
"So those two people are in this forest right now?" The Son of Heaven frowned and asked.
"Yes, based on the time when the wavelength disappeared, the two of them shouldn't have had time to escape from the forest."
"Good, everyone, go as planned." The Son of Heaven ordered in the communicator.
"Get to work...... Damn, I've been chasing for half a year, and I must catch these two goods this time! β
A sound of breaking the air suddenly hit from the side.
"Coordinates R Area 145,265, four members were attacked by the enemy and died on the spot!" Ava reports.
On the opposite side, on Lin Xue's body, the phantom of the god of death had already appeared for the first time, reaching out to sweep the mass of souls in the air, and swallowing it in one gulp.
The Z Realm Walker frowned, didn't pay much attention to it, and subconsciously pressed his finger, and the surrounding time naturally stood still.
After more than ten seconds, she raised her head again and stared at Lin Xue, her eyes were red, and her face became distorted: "I want you to die!" β
All the elites present immediately realized that this time the enemy suddenly came to the Elven Forest, could it be a 'trap' aimed at them, wanting to lure them in, and then use the information gap to kill them in a wave of revenge?
"The space-time reaction has reappeared...... Located in a no-man's land...... The other party is shifting positions...... "Ava's report rang out again.
The stop realm was opened, and the Z realm walkers turned their heads with the victory in their hands, wanting to see who the rats who dared to take the initiative to sneak attack themselves were first.
"No!"
As soon as Redsleeves moved, an oval teleportation appeared not far ahead.
Before this shout fell, three voices sounded one after another.
Redsleeves froze in place, stuck in time, and her bulging belly squirmed, revealing a doll's face on her belly, which was the left hill where the red-sleeved child was reincarnated.
The voices of demons and smiles rang out from the communicator in turn.
"There was no space-time wavelength reaction in the combat area...... The enemy is approaching our members by other means. Ava said.
"Understood!"
But the stop suddenly opened at this time.
"What's going on?" The demon asked.
β¦β¦
The two assigned tasks and were chatting when a scream suddenly sounded over the communicator.
"Other means?" Everyone was shocked, their group of people are all heavily armed elites, and their abilities are highly complementary, ordinary means will not work, and the only way to achieve the current effect is divine power.
Teams of hundreds of players responded and were busy all over the forest.
The stop is lifted naturally.
In other words, the other two have mastered a new divine power during this time?
"Everyone, pay attention to keep a low profile, this is the territory of the elves, when you arrange the trap, don't destroy the trees casually, it will provoke the hatred of the elves."
This human face looked at Lin Xue on the opposite side at the moment, but showed an extremely frightened look, the death of the Z Realm Walker just now had already made him understand something, where did he dare to step forward to fight, hurriedly controlled the red sleeves that were dominated by anger, turned around and ran away into the distance.
"All members, immediately go into defensive mode, and the front shrinks inward." The Son of Heaven ordered the communicator, opened the divine skin at the same time, and rushed towards the location of the incident at full speed.
"Poof!"
Lin Xue just looked at her quietly, also holding the sickle with both hands.
"Ah......h
The sword light flashed, leaving a line of blood in front of the neck of the Z Realm Walker, and the soul of the Z Realm Walker burst out along with the blood.
Somewhere at the edge of the forest, the Z-Realm Walker looked at the corpses of the four players who had died tragically in front of him, and gestured to Redsleeves in the distance, preparing to move on to the next location.
However, in the next second, several screams sounded one after another, mixed with a man's sneer.
The calm voice of the Son of Heaven calmed everyone's nervous mood for a while.
"How is that possible? Doesn't it make you alert at any time? β
The red sleeves froze in place, and they couldn't come back to their senses for half a sound.
Red Sleeves rushed towards Lin Xue with the Death Chain in his hand.
"Hehe, it's late!"
"A group of four, don't separate, those who have god skins are all open, and those who don't have them must ensure that they have wind magic at hand at hand at any time, once you receive an alarm from Ava, immediately open the wind wall!"
However, when he turned his head, he was greeted by a scythe blade that had not frozen in time.
"Who knows......"
The woman's cry of sorrow sounded, and the red sleeves, who sensed that something was wrong not far away, rushed wildly, but they were still a step too late, and could only watch her husband's body lose its vitality and fall straight to the ground.
"By the way, why did these two people suddenly run to the territory of the elves?"
But just as Redsleeves was about to step into the teleportation array, a blade stabbed through Redsleeves' back, piercing her abdomen, bringing out the unformed baby within.
Zuoqiu, covered in blood, was pierced at the tip of the scythe, his face distorted by pain, and his vitality quickly dissipated.
Before he died, looking at the expressionless woman below, he still kept the last question in his heart: why, there are time observers in this place......
β¦β¦
"What? You say the battle is over? β
"Yes, there was another group of players on the scene, and the other party should have ambushed again early, and killed two people in a short time just now...... No, three enemies. β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Listening to Ava's report on the communicator, a group of people from the Son of Heaven and the divine authority of the monarch quickly came from all directions and gathered around the scene of the crime.
As soon as they arrived, everyone saw three corpses on the ground, a man, a woman and a baby, among which the woman had a hole in her abdomen, and the fetus in her womb was gone, and the woman seemed to be aging rapidly, turning into an old man with white hair and withered body, and died with extreme unwillingness and horror.
At this moment, everyone didn't have time to pay attention to the three corpses, but they all stared at the only figure still standing in the field as if they were facing a great enemy.
It was a woman in a red robe and holding a scythe, her face was pale, she looked a little sickly, her eyes were bloodshot, and her dark circles were extremely thick, and she seemed to have not slept for a long time.
Although this woman looked like she was seriously injured, no one dared to approach her at will at this moment, after all, the skin of the god of death floating on people's bodies was not an ornament.
Everyone looked at each other, a little shocked.
Judging from the situation at the scene, these three people obviously died at the hands of this woman, you must know that this couple is an enemy they have been chasing and killing for more than half a year, but they have not been able to succeed...... Everyone is curious, how strong is this woman?
"Xiaoxue!"
"Sister Xue!"
Lu Yao and Xiaoya walked out of the jungle next to them at this time, and ran quickly to Lin Xue's side, but they also looked at Lin Xue with some horror.
It was now the fourth day that they had arrived at the Elven Forest, and four days ago, when Lu Yao heard Lin Xue say that she was going to ambush the 'Z Realm Walker' here next, she was ready for a fierce battle, after all, this Z Realm Walker was now the world's most wanted criminal, and he was haunted all day long, and a large number of players had already died in the hands of the other party.
As a result, when it was time to actually do it, Lin Xue just asked her to hide her figure with the help of the relic, and then approached the enemy alone, and then completed the instant kill when everyone didn't know what was happening.
"Ahem...... How many beauties, do you also have a grudge against these two people? β
On the other side, after the silence of the monarch and the group, the most sociable 'smile' spoke on behalf of everyone.
The three people on the other side who solved the Z Realm Walker should not be enemies, but this woman still maintains the divine skin of the god of death......
You must know that the Grim Reaper has always been the symbol of the accomplice next to the Z Realm Walker, and they have also conducted a lot of research on the Grim Reaper in the past six months, but they didn't expect that now a new Grim Reaper agent has emerged, which makes everyone a little confused for a while.
Combined with the location and time of this woman's appearance, everyone had already guessed that the two Z Realm Walkers suddenly changed direction and came to the Elven Forest before, most of the purpose was to find this woman.
"Kind of enemy...... But this time, the person I really want to find is you. Lin Xue suddenly looked at the Son of Heaven.
Everyone was stunned and looked at the Son of Heaven in unison.
"I wonder what Your Excellency is looking for me?" Tianzi's face was calm, and while responding to Lin Xue, he quickly communicated with Ava in his mind, asking Ava to find out Lin Xue's identity.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xue's many materials on the earth have been presented in front of the eyes of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven looked at these materials but was both surprised and dazed, surprised that Lin Xue's identity was very ordinary, and he acted extremely low-key, he never expected that there was such a master hidden among the people of the Celestial Empire.
At a loss, he really couldn't see what Lin Xue's identity background had to do with him.
"You closed the entrance to the dream world, right?" Lin Xue asked.
"It's me, yes." The Son of Heaven nodded.
"Very good, I need you to help me open the entrance, I want to enter the dream world......" Lin Xue said weakly, her body was a little shaky, and she was quickly supported by Xiao Ya on the side.
ββ¦β¦ Think of it as my reward for helping you kill these three wanted people. Lin Xue added.
The Son of Heaven frowned when he heard this, looked at the three people on the ground, and then looked at Lin Xue: "Can I ask why?" β
He asked why the other party wanted to enter the dream realm, as far as he knew, it was already the world of nightmare beasts, and there was no value in exploring.
"To save someone."
"Save whom?"
"My love, and the savior of this world."
As soon as these words came out, the group of people opposite frowned when they heard it.
Savior?
"Can you make this clearer? What does savior mean? Without him, the world would have been destroyed? The demon asked, frowning.
"Yes, this is a hopeless world, because the savior was not born, the history of this world line has gone off the rails, and humanity will eventually be defeated by the God Eater in many years and extinct in the cataclysm a hundred years later." Lin Xue tried her best to speed up her speech, but it was fast and not chaotic, she knew that if she didn't explain something clearly, it would be difficult for the other party to believe her.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and their faces became even more strange.
"How do you know about this kind of thing?" Some people questioned.
"Because, I am not from this plane, but from another world lineβthe correct world line." Lin Xue said.
"Huh?"
The first to question was not the people who had been granted divine authority by the monarch, but Lu Yao and Xiaoya, both of whom looked at Lin Xue in shock and dazedness.
And when the monarch gods allure everyone sees the performance of the other three people, they all feel even more unreasonable, and the feelings don't even know your own companions? How do you want them to believe?
Next, everyone asked Lin Xue about many details of the so-called 'other world', and Lin Xue answered them one by one.
But when she heard her say that in the previous world, the Son of Heaven and the Divine Authority of the Monarch were defeated by others, and the City Lord of the City of Order was also replaced by someone else, the demon was already the first to sneer: "Nonsense, you said that the Son of Heaven lost to others?" How can it be? I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who is better than the Son of Heaven! β
Lin Xue didn't answer the demon, but looked at the Son of Heaven and said seriously: "You are very good, but unfortunately, you are not the 'right' person, no matter how strong your cultivation is, no matter how strong your leadership ability is, you can't save the world if you unify the human race all over the world." β
"So what kind of person do you think can save the world?" Someone asked. Hearing Lin Xue belittle the leader continuously, everyone was angry.
"Child of Time."
Lin Xue said a plausible answer.
"Child of Time?"
"What the hell ......"
The crowd on the other side was completely shouting, and they all felt that this woman was talking nonsense, and no one believed her.
It was the Son of Heaven who had been pondering calmly, until when Lin Xue said 'Son of Time' just now, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Lin Xue with some surprise.
"There's no time left, you have to open the dream realm immediately, otherwise, I don't know how long he can last!" Lin Xue suddenly urged a little anxiously.
"Son of Heaven, you won't really believe her words, will you? This woman is obviously a madman, just talking nonsense! We had to spend a great deal of money to block the dream world, how could we unblock it casually? The demon looked at the Son of Heaven and persuaded.
"A madman, can you help us solve the enemy we can't catch for half a year?" The Son of Heaven asked rhetorically.
The demon was choked speechless.
The others also blushed a little.
There is no way, people's real achievements are in front of them, and everyone has nothing to say.
The Son of Heaven looked at Lin Xue: "Since you're in a hurry, come with me." β
After saying that, the bento flew into the depths of the forest.
Lin Xue saw that the Son of Heaven was moved, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and let Xiaoya and Lu Yao take it and follow each other.
The other people who had been granted divine authority glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
The group passed through the teleportation array, and soon came to the Emerald City again, under the World Tree.
This time, Riley did not stop and directly let the tree man let him go, but only the Son of Heaven, Lin Xue, Xiao Ya and Lu Yao were allowed to land on the World Tree.
"I believe you, not because you helped kill those two......"
As the wooden elevator was moving, the Son of Heaven suddenly opened his mouth to explain.
"It's because I've had some confusion in the past, especially after I inherited the Lord of Order, I always feel that this identity is very unreal now, as if it shouldn't belong to me, but someone else......"
"I have a hunch that if I continue like this, the world will eventually come to an end that I can't handle......"
The Son of Heaven seemed to be talking to himself, and the three women behind him also listened without saying a word.
"In short, I can't let the future of this world be destroyed in my hands...... For this, I'm willing to gamble ......"
Only then did the Son of Heaven turn around and look directly at Lin Xue: "So, if there is really the person you said...... Bring him back and restore the world to what it should be......"
"Thanks, I will." Lin Xue nodded seriously.
She is very glad that the city lord of order in this world is the Son of Heaven now, otherwise, if someone else is changed, even if she believes her words, whether she can be willing to give up this 'first person' position and act as the green leaf of others will be a big question mark.
Moments later, the four of them reached the canopy, and under Riley's leadership, they reached the heart of the World Tree, in a deep dream.
At this moment, between the deep dreams, the surrounding walls have been covered with dense order runes, which are all seals separating the two worlds.
The Son of Heaven took out the pen of order, and before he started, he looked at Lin Xue again: "Let's say it first, although I believe in you, I will not ignore this world." β
"In order to prevent the real world from being invaded by nightmare beasts, I will immediately re-seal the entrance after opening the entrance and letting you in."
"In other words, if you die in the dream world, you will really die and there will be no chance of coming back." The Son of Heaven looked at Lin Xue and reiterated the risks of this operation with a serious face.
"I understand, let's get started."
Lin Xue nodded. She had no intention of coming back from the moment she entered here.
"Sister Xue......"
At this time, Xiao Ya and Lu Yao behind them both looked at Lin Xue worriedly.
Lin Xue also looked at the two of them apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really don't have time to explain, I have to leave immediately...... Sorry ......"
In this world, she feels the most guilty Lu Yao and Xiaoya, the two have helped her a lot in the past few days, but she doesn't even have time to explain the situation clearly...... Although it shows that they will also quickly forget under the power of correction.
In the blink of an eye, the Son of Heaven had already waved his brush, and as the order runes on the wall flowed, an oval-shaped opening gradually formed in the middle of the dense runes.
The Son of Heaven nodded to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue quickly ran to a wooden bed, lay down, and closed her eyes.
A dream butterfly hovered naturally over her forehead......
β¦β¦
When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she had already appeared in the dream world.
But the dream world in front of me is very different from the impression, the original fairy tale style of the world, but now it is full of dense black shadows.
This kind of ghost-like thing is the so-called Nightmare Beast.
They have been multiplying for many generations in this uncontrolled world, and at this moment, they are surrounded by black and oppressive power, all of which are this kind of thing.
The nearest nightmare beast quickly spotted Lin Xue and roared and lunged at her.
Lin Xue hurriedly manifested the Death Scythe, and with a split, the Nightmare Beast was cut off by the waist, turning into black qi and dissipating.
This thing seems to be more fragile than expected, but there are too many of them, and even if they are killed, the black gas will quickly condense and form again in the vicinity.
The surrounding nightmare beasts were awakened by the movement here, and more black shadows pounced, Lin Xue hurriedly continued to swing his knife, constantly killing one nightmare beast after another.
However, looking at the black pressure in front of him and seeing no end in sight, Lin Xue couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in her heart.
To go to the Heart of Time in the dream world, you must first think about this place in your heart, and then insist on walking for a day and a night before the Heart of Time will appear.
That is, she must fight here for a full 24 hours without interruption......
Lin Xue tried to drag her tired body and swing the knife to disperse the few black shadows around her, but she felt that her eyelids were heavy.
If it was usual, it would be fine, but she had stayed up for four or five nights in a row before, and her body had already been extremely tired, and she would continue to fight at high intensity for a day and a night, could she really do it? Of course, she has enough motivation and perseverance, but there are some things that can't be done with willpower......
Just when Lin Xue felt a little desperate, an emerald green light landed on her, healing her wounds and rejuvenating her spirit and physical strength at the same time.
Lin Xue turned around in surprise, and saw that behind her, Xiaoya also appeared in the dream world at some point.
She was dressed only in thin clothing, and barely had a wand in her hand, struggling to maintain her magic.
"Xiaoya, you ......"
Lin Xue was surprised, she really didn't expect Xiaoya to follow her in.
She came here with a heart to go to the heart of time to find her beloved, and she didn't think about going out when she came in, but what about Xiaoya?
No matter what her reason is, as long as she enters here, there is no way out. That is, at the moment of falling asleep, she was ready to sacrifice here......
Thinking about this, Lin Xue looked at Xiaoya with both emotion and sadness, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Xiao Ya finally gradually adapted to the embodied rules at this time, condensed more clothes on her body, looked at Lin Xue and smiled: "Sister Xue, you don't have to blame yourself, this is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with you." β
"The moment the Son of Heaven opened the entrance to the dream just now, I suddenly felt very familiar, until I really came in at this time, I became more and more sure that I must have been here before......"
Xiaoya looked at Lin Xue with tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, that person who is very important to you and me, you must bring him back, this is also my wish!" β
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xue suddenly burst out and threw her aside, narrowly avoiding a nightmare beast attacking from behind.
But the fall of the two of them gave more Nightmare Beasts a chance.
Seeing such a good opportunity, several of the nearest black shadows around them all rushed towards the two of them like crazy.
But just as the two were about to die, several fireballs smashed out from behind, hitting a few shadows accurately.
"Lu Yao?"
Lin Xue looked at the acquaintance who had just appeared behind and was surprised again.
"God, why are the rules of this place so troublesome? Teach me how to manifest relics! β
Lu Yao came over in the rear, scolding.
After getting closer, Lu Yao scratched his head and said embarrassedly at the inquiring gazes of the two: "Oh, don't look at me like that, okay?" I just can't bear to watch the two of you die one by one, and I followed in for a while, in fact, I regret it to death now! Why did you come in with you and go crazy......"
Lu Yao explained, and more shadows around him had already rushed in.
The three of them could only pause their communication, and hurriedly released their magic back-to-back, dispelling the nearby black shadows one by one.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, according to you, as long as you get the 'person' you said back, the world will be corrected back on track, and we will come back to life when the time comes, right?"
Taking advantage of the gap between the battles, Lu Yao asked.
"Well, of course!" Lin Xue nodded hurriedly.
"That's good......"
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile: "Otherwise, the three of us will die here together, and there will not even be anyone who burns paper with each other in the future, hahaha......"
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Xue was moved in her heart, and she couldn't say more words of gratitude, she only knew that there were two more reasons why this operation must not fail.
β¦β¦
With the addition of the two, the originally difficult journey was much easier.
Lu Yao quickly learned to manifest relics, and under the concealment of her relics, the frequency of the three of them was greatly reduced.
In this way, he finally managed to persevere for a whole day and a night in the countless nightmare beast herds.
The next day, that is, the thirty-fifth day after Lin Xue came to this world, the city of time that made her think about it appeared in front of her again.
The dream forest in front of the city gate seems to have been eaten up by the nightmare beast gate, and the gate of the heart of time is directly open in the fog ahead.
Lin Xue's physical exhaustion had reached the extreme at this time, but she still held on to her spirit and stumbled towards the city gate.
But it wasn't until she approached the city gate that she realized that the two behind her had not followed, and when she looked back, she found that Xiao Ya and Lu Yao had been blocked behind by the Nightmare Beast, almost overwhelmed by the tide of black shadows.
Lin Xue subconsciously wanted to go to the rescue, but the two of them in the distance waved desperately, signaling her not to come over and hurry up to finish what she had to do.
Lin Xue bit her lip, turned around ruthlessly, and ran towards the city gate even faster, running towards the place of heartbreak and origin......
β¦β¦
In the room, Mu You slowly opened his eyes, and a heavy sigh and vicissitudes flashed in his eyes.
Scenes of memories came to his mind, and he finally remembered the experience he and Lin Xue had had in those two thousand years.
In front of him, the daughter was still groping his beard, babbling in her mouth: "Mommy doesn't cry, mom doesn't cry......"
"Don't worry, I promise you won't make your mother cry again......"
Mu You looked at her daughter with relief, picked her up, and rushed out of the door impatiently.
In the study on the second floor.
Lin Xue sat in the sunlight on the windowsill, holding a ball of wool in her hand according to the tutorial.
Footsteps sounded, Mu You hugged his daughter, and suddenly pushed the door in.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at his hurried look, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you in such a hurry?" You're a dad now, so be more steady......"
"Xiaoxue, I'm back!" Mu You suddenly spoke up and interrupted her.
Lin Xue was stunned and looked up at Mu You in surprise.
Looking at his affectionate gaze, the once extremely familiar feeling returned to his body again, Lin Xue quickly realized something, her eyes instantly moistened, and she only felt that there were a thousand grievances in her heart that she wanted to tell him.
The grievances were mixed with many reliefs and surprises, and finally turned into a tearful smile.
"Well, welcome back."
