When Xiao Qi's cold little hand touched his forehead, Jiang Bei remembered.

It's like an electric shock, and the whole brain is electrocuted instantaneously. A large amount of electricity rushed through the mind in an instant, and at the same time it carried a huge amount of memories and information.

It was an indescribable and wonderful feeling. Those pictures and all the experiences make Jiangbei feel so familiar. It's the first time I've seen it, but it's like I've experienced it myself.

It's like experiencing the past and present lives of another self in parallel time and space from the first perspective.

Xiao Qi is telling the truth. He was indeed the Sentinel of Eternity, born of the Guardian of Despair, who took the torch from his predecessors.

He saw everything in his past. Receiving extraordinary power from an early age is destined to be different. He can't fit in with anybody, he can't be part of any group.

As he grew older, his strength grew. He saw himself try to run faster than a train for the first time, unexpectedly take off for the first time, spew a hot gaze in his eyes for the first time, appear in front of everyone in a cloak, and become the leader of countless talented and gifted people in the Endless Alliance.

When he met Xiao Qi, it was the first time in his life that he felt that he was no longer lonely.

But that's all in the past. It feels like something that happened in the distant past.

And at the end of that memory, it ended with a period of darkness that seemed to be infinitely deep.

An enemy of unprecedented strength, from beyond the infinite unknown. A radically different enemy from the past faced by the Alliance, he wields the power of death and is almost omnipotent.

All the members fell in front of that thing, and the alliance fell apart. The world was in flames, as if all things were destroyed.

But fortunately, it was stopped. Jiangbei did everything he could, exhausted everything. The darkness retreated, but instead of being destroyed, it returned to its endless world to lick its wounds and wait for the next opportunity.

In the final picture, Jiangbei saw that the protagonist of that perspective was Xiao Qi's face last before closing his eyes. They clasped their fingers together and faced each other. He laughed while she cried.

Then everything returns to darkness.

"I remembered. That sentry, he. No, I died once. I gave this to you Jesse after that? ”

He remembered it now.

That's Xiao Qi's name.

"yes, it's me. I'm here. Jesse whispered, "You gave me the power, but I can't help but let you down."

I can't do it like that. After you're gone, everyone starts questioning. The alliance collapsed and the world was thrown into chaos.

I can neither wield my power as freely as you do, nor can I inspire the rest. I can't give hope, I can't protect anything. And as you know, that power is supposed to be driven by hope. So at the same time I can feel it getting weaker and weaker in my hands.

I messed up, I just couldn't do it. I knew I wouldn't be able to face it when the Abyssal Dead Emperor came again—and it will—the next time. ”

She looked up at Jiangbei: "Then I found you at this time. That's when I realized that the Abyss Death Emperor hadn't been able to erase you. Your final battle will actually end in a lose-lose situation.

The Abyssal Death Emperor has been sent back somewhere in the Sea of Time, and you have not been killed by it. It can't knock you down completely, it can only use a 'mechanism' created by the Creator and ultimately controlled by it to delay your moves."

"Critical Place." Jiangbei suddenly, "So I got a second life, in some random present world"

Jesse nodded: "After that battle, the Abyss Death Emperor has no extra energy to deal with you." So when I found out that you were still alive, I immediately came to this present life, found you, and gave you back this power.

Only in your hands can it stop weakening, and only you can make it shine again and fight against the Abyss Death Emperor again.

Now it's back, much faster than I thought"

"Me too."

Jiang Bei said calmly, his temperament was the same as before.

"I've got it all figured out."

"I'm sorry I let you down." Jesse whispered, "I know I'm doing poorly."

"It's okay, you've done well enough. I'll take care of the rest. ”

He gave Jesse a gentle kiss on the forehead and turned to look at Carat, the Founder.

"One final thing to confirm. As long as I defeat the Abyss Death Emperor, it's all over, right? All those so-called creator mechanisms, their control over the fate of our world, of all people? ”

"Yes." Carat said expressionlessly, "The Founders have long since perished. Everything they left behind has been fused into a part of the Abyssal Death Emperor.

Defeating the Abyss Death Emperor naturally destroyed everything. After that, the blemishes will return to their purity and the story will develop on its own.

There will be no more puppet withdrawals, no more manipulation of fate, and everything will be back on the right track. You know I'm telling the truth, nothing can fool your eyes these days. ”

Jiang Bei nodded.

Truly. Now his "eyes" can see almost everything.

"Good. I've been waiting for a rematch with the Abyssal Rival. He clenched his fist, "It's better not to let me down." ”

"The Abyss Death Emperor's body is still in the interior of the Sea of Time, and no one can touch it." "At least not in the abyss." But I brought with me, the ships built by the Builders.

It was the only vehicle left with free access to the Sea of Time, which we called the 'Planetarium'. Now if you're ready, we're ready to go. ”

"Of course." Jiang Bei nodded, "I'm ready at any time." ”

"Jiangbei."

Jesse spoke softly. Jiangbei paused briefly and turned his head.

"This time. Definitely coming back. She bit her lip and said, "I'll keep waiting." ”

"That's the plan."

Jiangbei smiled and turned to Carat.

"Let's go."

Without saying a word, the founder stretched out his hand and waved it lightly.

All of a sudden, everything came to a standstill. The cracks in the sky stopped expanding, and the monsters everywhere stopped wreaking havoc. The firelight and tyrannical energy were immobilized, and even Jesse kept his hand waving still.

"You stopped time?"

Jiangbei looked at her.

"To be precise, we've just moved to the space-time mezzanine closer to the Sea of Time. It is an intermediate plane, located in the gap between the Abyss and the Sea of Time. The Planetarium can't land in the Abyssal System, so we'll have to board ships from this space.

But for the entire abyss system, time and space here are also static. The same goes for the Sea of Time.

So the next battle, no matter how long it takes, will only be a blink of an eye for your present life. ”

Cara, the Founder, looked at him again.

"Are you sure you're ready?"

"Of course." Jiangbei did not hesitate.

"Very well, then now"

She waved her hand, and in an instant it was as if the world itself was torn apart. Thousands of brilliance rushed out like a turbulent ocean, and a battleship like no other in the world revealed its true face.

"Let's set sail!"
