Since coming here, Gu Jiancheng has been thinking about what kind of way to "reverse history" in Xiaoshe's mouth.

He himself came down and reversed the past with the authority of the Great Abyss?

But his present state and the maiden's state are not physical, they are like bystanders who do not belong to this era, and they cannot interfere in anything, as evidenced by the fact that the maiden who bowed down in front of the temple could not perceive their existence.

In the end, Gu Jiancheng put the key core of reversing history on the girl next to him.

According to the little snake, the existence of the girl itself is a new branch of destiny that extends from his influence, and jumps to his side for four thousand years.

In the mouth of the little snake, he was born to be the leader of the great abyss, and naturally he should also be the leader of this girl who was influenced by him and came across four thousand years.

"But...... The whole Empire, including me, is looking forward to your return, Your Majesty, and your gaze is far greater than any sacrifice I make. ”

The girl bowed her head, her face pale.

In fact, she can have a myriad of reasons.

For example, this is a rule inherited by the royal family for thousands of years, and she cannot break it;

For example, his personal efforts are meaningless compared to your approval;

Or perhaps the most realistic point, she can block the next invasion of the Heavenly Reason Incarnation, but it is impossible to stop it forever, and the most promising opportunity to connect with Your Majesty in the ancient ritual is within this month......

She could find countless excuses, but she forcibly swallowed them back at this moment.

Because in the presence of this majesty, all these have become excuses, pale and powerless covers.

She had never come into contact with the king of the Great Abyss, who had served as the teacher of the 10th monarch in the story of the empire from generation to generation, guiding him to find the way to be king.

What He hates most is the excuses that the incompetent take for granted.

"Sacrifice?" Gu Jiancheng paused, remembered something, and said, "Do you know the eight virtues of knights?" ”

The girl's face was stunned, and she was stunned.

Of course, she knew the eight virtues of knighthood, because at the beginning of the empire, it was the way of knighthood that was advocated.

To this day, the name of the Founding King and his Knights of the Round Table still echoes throughout the Empire.

And after the founding monarch, the ancestor of the imperial royal family, and the first mark under the command of Dayuan, the tenth monarch of the empire, was awarded the title of [Knight King]!

In her education since childhood, there is a code of knighthood.

But the teacher who taught her also emphasized to her that she was not a knight and would not become a knight, and that her future was the monarch of the empire, and that the monarch's status was above everything else and would be above all else.

She must have the consciousness to sacrifice everything for the king.

Therefore, the girl has long had to sacrifice herself in exchange for future enlightenment for the people of the empire.

If only her sacrifice is needed in exchange for the "rebirth" of the empire, she will never hesitate for a moment, this is the meaning of her birth.

These years are just too heavy......

The weight of 560 million people was firmly tied to her shoulders alone, making it difficult for her to move, and she often woke up in the middle of the night, dreaming that she had failed the expectations of the people of the empire......

She must always make herself in the best possible condition to meet everyone, and tell them that the empire will return to the world!

Sometimes, the maiden is even looking forward to the day of the sacrifice.

When that day comes, you don't have to be so tired, right?

"Humility, mercy, honesty, justice, valor, honor, faith...... And sacrifice. ”

The girl whispered something that she had memorized in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give everything I have, please ...... Save the Empire! Save your believers! Even if I have to give my life for it! ”

As soon as the expectations of all the people below, the girl plucked up her courage and knelt behind him again, praying sincerely.

The hope contained in the words was strong and pure, but Gu Jiancheng was expressionless.

Because he heard a hint of relief in it.

The girl is begging for death.

He was not afraid of death, but he was looking forward to it, to die for the Empire.

For her, dying before the nations was a relief.

If she is one of the 560 million people of the empire, then she is absolutely not wrong, but worthy of praise.

But she is the future king of this empire, the lord of 560 million people.

The king of a country should be the head of all peoples! She must not die before everyone else!

Is she really a girl who says she is willing to burn herself and become the sun in the eyes of the people of the empire?

The two seem to be the same sacrifice, but they contain completely different consciousnesses.

One died for the empire, the other lived for the empire.

Gu Jiancheng was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke:

"I've heard that there's a hero under the Stars."

"He was also a knight who spent his whole life winning glory, mastering humility, learning mercy, learning honesty, being faithful to justice, finding valor, and regaining faith, but never realized the true meaning of sacrifice."

"He always believed that sacrifice was death, and he was ready to sacrifice at any time, but it was not until the last moment of his life that the knight of the stars realized the true meaning of sacrifice."

"That is not just the shallowness of sacrificing one's own life to achieve the shallowness of others, but the consciousness of shouldering all difficulties and obstacles, forging ahead in the forefront of sentient beings, and enduring endless suffering!"

"Death is not terrible! The scary thing is that you try to interpret the meaning of sacrifice with death! ”

"You are the king of a country, you should be the leading figure at the forefront of the empire, but you are begging for death, if even you die, who do you expect to save your people?"

"The 560 million people of this empire are destined not to wait for the sun they are looking forward to!"

The girl fell to her knees.

Is that so?

She had made the consciousness of sacrificing herself early, but the supreme King of the Great Abyss denied her "sacrifice".

God says that death is not terrible, but that it is terrible to hope that one's death will end everything.

Is all her efforts wrong?

"Your Majesty...... What exactly should I do? ”

She suddenly couldn't find her way.

She had been determined to go forward and the path she had worked hard to find, but she was refuted by the king of the great abyss and thrown into the mud.

She could only look up blankly and pray for God to show her direction.

The figure that had come in anticipation of her, with its back to her, gave her a solemn proverb.

"Even if you really want to die, you deserve to die behind everyone, you have to witness the death of every citizen of the empire, bear their pain, bear their sinful karma, think that you are the king, and guard their graves!"

"For a monarch, sometimes it is far more difficult to live than to die."

The girl's face turned pale in an instant.

The suffocating pressure is overwhelming.

Just the picture depicted made the girl feel despair from the bottom of her heart.

For any monarch, this is the worst torture in the world.

She couldn't imagine what kind of monarch it would take to see one of her people fall at her feet, feel her own powerlessness, and endure this endless pain.

How should she face those desperate faces?

Her gaze was dazed and foggy.

His hands clenched into fists.

She looked up.

The world is vast and cold, because the empire has long lost the sun that belongs to them.

The twisted purple-black lines on the canopy meant that the outer gods were closer to them, and countless Imperial knights rushed into the canopy, filling the void with their lives, and spilled blood in the sky with great might.

She suddenly remembered that she had hoped to be one of them, but she met her father's disappointed gaze and was scolded by her father......

She also remembered that her father had held her hand tightly on his deathbed, repeating that she was sorry, Hathaway, that her father was a coward, and that she would swear to protect the people of the Empire no matter what......

Is that what it means......

The father was a coward, so he died early, leaving her alone to protect the empire.

Is that what it means?

It turned out that he was the same as his father......

Hathaway suddenly covered her mouth, tears blurring her eyes.

Because at this moment, she heard the prayers of all the nations, and another "enlightenment" and "response" of herself.

In the temple behind them.

The girl in front of the idol burst into tears.

She trembled and fell to her knees, and prayed hoarsely to the throne of the supreme god—

“…… O Supreme King of the Abyss, I am willing to give everything I have, please let me be the last sun in the eyes of the 560 million people of the empire, and let me see the end of the empire with my own eyes......"

Another girl had tears in her eyes as she looked at the scene in the temple that no one was destined to see.

Then she heard the promise coming from behind her.

The voice was so slight, like a whisper hidden in the wind, yet it was clear and unrefutable, close at hand.

It's like coming through time.

- At any cost?

"No matter what it takes!"

- Even if you are trapped in the rift of time, enduring endless loneliness and long nights?

"Is this the punishment that I can't protect the empire as a monarch......

"I can't ask for it."
