Chapter 138 [Ten Thousand Years Condensing a Sword]
(You know, let's get up tomorrow and watch it, this time it must be done in the evening, because tomorrow we have to go down the mountain and take the car back...... )
......
Time......
What is time?
What is time for me?
This question suddenly appeared in my mind, and I don't know why I suddenly started thinking about this, but since it has appeared...... So let it be...... As many of the people I met after you died, I told me, but I couldn't let go.
I've been trying for a long time since that to find a way to really let go of you, let go of our memories, let go of our good things and all of that. Keep getting drunk, keep practicing hard to avenge you, keep challenging to find a master...... All of this is because of the last words you said to me, telling me to be well after you die.
But these methods only worked at the time, and whenever I stopped, I always thought of you, of our first meeting, of the first words we spoke, of the resolute tone you spoke when you shook off my hand, of the familiar smile you had before you died, which I will never forget...... Every time I think of this, I miss you more than I have ever been.
I miss every word you ever said to me, I miss the song you used to hum when you were bored, I miss the smile you always made me stunned, I miss every trick and style you taught me......
Every time I think about it, I feel sad because you've left me completely since then.
Later, someone told me that the way to "forget if you want to" is to face it bravely.
So, I stopped trying to avoid it so deliberately. And then. After a period of time. I seem to have finally let go of you. Even for a long time to come, even when I think of you, my heart is like a calm lake, and there is not a trace of waves.
When I thought I was about to forget you completely, this sudden loss of control made my thoughts about you burn everything like a hot summer sun, constantly teasing the scorched earth in my memory that I had finally calmed down, always accurately capturing the only shackles that lingered in it, and then mercilessly delivering a fatal blow.
I started to think of you more often from the occasional moment, and there are some external reasons, but I know that it will be sooner or later.
I've always deliberately suppressed my thoughts about you, I thought I had really completely let go of forgetting you, forgetting everything about you. But in fact - it turned out. It's not that I've forgotten about you entirely, it's that I can't find a glimmer of hope for resurrecting you at all—and when I finally see a glimmer of light, I remember you. I remembered every word you said to me, I remembered your familiar smile that I will never forget, I remembered every bit about you.
So I clenched my fists desperately, clinging to not wanting to let go of the faint glimmer of light.
So, it turned out like this, as I expected.
No matter how the mountains and rivers flow, how the sun and the moon change, the passage of time has never blurred your bits and pieces in my mind, nor has it left a trace.
There is no trace of time.
That's how much I miss you.
That's what time means to me.
I miss you again.
Think about the past you, and the future you.
......
Time Cave.
The blank eyes that continue to evolve a mysterious and unpredictable aura. Gradually gathering and condensing, Ye Yichen's continuous pace slowly slowed down. Eventually, it stopped completely.
When he stopped completely, Ye Yichen's face and eyes were full of smiles: "I will wait for you in the future." ”
......
Dragon Island, outside the Time Cave.
The Dragon King frowned and looked at the open entrance of the Time Cave, his eyes full of nostalgia and incredulity.
On both sides of the Time Cave, two dragons turned into human forms and guarded each side.
The Time Cave is a very precious holy place for Dragon Island, and it has been guarded by dragon powerhouses for a long time, equivalent to high-level human archmages and high-level paladins.
But last time, that human went all the way in and killed all the guard dragons around the Time Cave.
Only that time, the dragon clan can be described as a heavy loss. The total number has plummeted by one-tenth!
Such a tragic loss makes the Dragon King still unable to let go even if a year has passed now, and he will always come to the Time Cave to see.
Is that human being dead or alive?
The Dragon King didn't know.
He had let the young dragon of the dragon's longest-lived dragon go in to see it, but after the young dragon sent in walked three thousand six hundred and eighty-two steps, that is, three thousand six hundred and eighty-two years old, he still did not see the human, and within these three thousand six hundred and eighty-two steps, there was no trace of biological decay.
In other words, the human had walked more than three thousand six hundred and eighty-two steps, which was equivalent to three thousand six hundred and eighty-two years old in body and soul, but still did not have time to erode, decay and die.
That's simply not possible for human age!
Even those godly mages in the human race, their souls have been sublimated and can live for a long, long time. But the physical aspect cannot withstand the erosion of time.
But the human seemed to have walked more than three thousand six hundred and eighty-two steps.
The terrain of the Time Cave is not a straight road, but a twist and turn. Three thousand six hundred and eighty-two steps is already considered the prime of life for many dragons. Even the longest-lived dragons are almost young at this age. If you continue to walk into the time cave, every step is a real waste of time.
Even if he was the Dragon King, it was impossible for the already small dragon clan to go to that human at the risk of his life.
If it's just one step or two, it's easy to say that there are more than ten steps, but the key is that I don't know how many steps that human has taken in the time cave, whether he is dead in it, or still alive.
None of this is known.
Now that more than a year has passed in the outside world, although the Dragon King is still a little resentful of the black-haired boy who suddenly came to Dragon Island a year ago, the original idea of eagerly wanting to kill this human who invaded the territory of the Dragon Clan has slowly faded.
The changes in the continent finally reached Dragon Island three months after the human black-haired boy entered the Time Cave.
Now, it has been more than a year since the Lord of the Abyss descended on the continent, destroying countless cities and devouring tens of millions of living beings!
Because the place where the Lord of the Abyss came was the main city of the Blue Empire, the Blue City, and on the day of his arrival, he completely destroyed the Blue City! Among the tens of millions of dwellings in the Blue City, millions were devoured by the Lord of the Abyss and turned into a part of themselves.
For the next year, the Lord of the Abyss continued to devour living creatures and destroy cities, leaving no one alive, whether man or beast.
The Lord of the Abyss who came back was just a kilometer-huge green palm, but after a year of devouring and destroying, the Lord of the Abyss has completely grown into a huge monster that is tens of thousands of meters huge and has a whole body like a puddle of green mud!
But that's just the beginning!
Today, the Lord of the Abyss is still wreaking havoc and devouring living beings to grow stronger.
The Blue Empire in the center of the continent and many of the surrounding principalities have been destroyed, and the Terrans are now migrating to the Templar Mountain, where the Church of Light is located.
And after a year, the people of the mainland have also known that the arrival of the Lord of the Abyss is the work of more than a dozen god-level mages and many god-level professionals who have cultivated fighting qi.
At present, although people are still migrating with the help of many tools invented by magicians, secretly, many people have begun to hate magicians, and in the glorious tradition of mankind that will never end and is always fighting, the Church of Light has begun to secretly spread the word that magicians are heretics among people.
Nowadays, in people's minds, magicians have become faintly synonymous with heresy.
Of course, now that the Lord of the Abyss, the common enemy of all races in the continent, is still destroying the continent, there are only some small moves between the Church of Light and the Mage Guild.
At present, all the forces of the Terrans have come together and merged into a "Dawning Alliance".
Not only that, but the "Dawning Alliance" formed by the Terrans is inviting other races on the continent to fight against the Lord of the Abyss.
A few days ago, Dragon Island also welcomed a special envoy from the "Dawning Alliance", inviting the Dragon Clan to go to the mainland to fight against the Lord of the Abyss.
As a dragon that has lived for five or six thousand years and has a body and soul that is tens of thousands of years old, although the Dragon King has not participated in the last Abyss Lord invasion war, but judging from the last war, only a few dragons finally returned to Dragon Island, and the Dragon King already knows that the Lord of the Abyss is not so easy to deal with.
Tomorrow is the day when most of the dragons of the dragon clan go to the mainland together, and the dragon king is not worried about the humans who came to the island a year ago to kill, and finally entered the time cave, so he came to the time cave to see.
Against the Lord of the Abyss, there are bound to be casualties.
Like the last time the Lord of the Abyss invaded, the dragons suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, the dragon king is ready to leave some newborn baby dragons on the island, just like last time.
Last time, he was left on the island by his father, the last dragon king.
"Ares, the dragons of Dragon Island are ready to go. A middle-aged man dressed in mighty silver armor walked up from behind the Dragon King and spoke.
The dragonlord's name is Ares.
"Hmm. After listening to the words of the middle-aged man in silver armor, the dragon king nodded, looked at the middle-aged man in silver armor, and said, "Crowle, when you reach the territory of the Dawning Alliance, do you remember not to lose your temper?"
When the middle-aged man in silver armor known as "Crowle" heard this, he frowned and said, "To tell you the truth, Ares. The Lord of the Abyss was released by those humans, what does it have to do with our dragon clan? Why should the whole continent pay for their mistakes?"
"Crowle's lips are cold. The Dragon King smiled bitterly and said. (To be continued......)
