Pamirs.

"The god of Bactria in Egypt?"

After listening to the words of the Queen Mother of the West, Lin Qiye spoke in shock, "From the very beginning, the goal of Great Xia is Sun City?" ”

"If it was a few days ago, this matter was still hidden, and now that Heavenly Court has probably taken action, it doesn't hurt to tell you." The Queen Mother of the West spoke calmly, "Only by revealing Odin's true face, letting Asgard completely fall into civil strife, and then hitting the Egyptian god system head-on, can Great Xia get out of the current predicament."

In this way, the alliance of the four kingdoms of God will only have the three kingdoms of God left, and Asgard, who has lost Odin, will be greatly reduced in combat power like Olympus in civil strife. ”

"I see......"

Lin Qiye listened to all the arrangements of the Great Xia God, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It seems that everything is in the calculations of the Heavenly Court, and our worries are indeed a little redundant. ”

"But even if you do this, it will only improve Da Xia's chances of winning a little." The Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth and reminded, "Asgard and Olympus are only in a temporary predicament, not a complete loss of combat effectiveness, and what we have to face in Great Xia is still the three major divine kingdoms.

Moreover, the attack on Sun City may instead accelerate the process of the alliance of these three divine kingdoms, and that is when this war is really difficult. ”

Lin Qiye nodded, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked:

"Mother, I still have a question."

"Say."

"In the silhouette of time a hundred years ago, I remember that one of the Zhenguo God Monuments transformed by the gods of Great Xia is near here, but why can't I see it now?" Lin Qiye looked around and asked suspiciously.

"The Zhenguo Divine Monument has always been here, but it just hides its appearance."

The Queen Mother of the West raised her finger, and a ray of divine light shot out, gently landing somewhere on the misty border, and as that divine light sprinkled through, a corner of the black Zhenguo Divine Monument was revealed in the wind and snow.

"This is a blindfold set up to prevent mortals from discovering it, but for the gods, it can easily perceive its existence, and the fluctuations of divine power it emits in this snowfield are as dazzling as the sun."

The Queen Mother of the West's voice fell, as if sensing something, and glanced in a certain direction,

"There's still something going on in this palace, you can leave on your own."

Without waiting for Lin Qiye to say anything more, the Queen Mother of the West stepped out, her body turned into a touch of green light, and disappeared into the sky.

Lin Qiye stood alone in place, turned his head and looked at the misty border again, the black stone tablet that was gradually hidden in the wind and snow, sighed, and walked in the direction of the border defense company.

The place where he was was not far from the Kayushi Frontier Company, Lin Qiye rarely used his ability to rush this time, but chose to use his legs, step by step, to walk back.

His mind is a mess.

Perhaps because he had just experienced that tragic history, his mind was still flickering with the scene of the Great Xia gods slamming into the stone tablet like a moth to a fire.

They all seem to be emitting some kind of brilliance, which does not come from divine power, but from the soul...... This kind of brilliance has nothing to do with people or gods, or even people or things, even on the body of the thirty million swords that rose to the sky with the order of the Daode Tianzun, he also saw this kind of brilliance.

That brilliance comes from dedication, from sacrifice, from the determination and firmness in their eyes when they fight for all sentient beings.

With the divergence of thoughts, many figures appeared in Lin Qiye's mind.

Zhou Ping, who was on the verge of death, still stood up and slashed God with a sword;

Go back in time, gamble all the longevity, and change the king of history;

overdrew his potential, used the heraldic to desperately transmit the message, and saved Lu Qiu of the entire Shenlong Pass;

reborn after death, with a miracle body, Chen Muye alone in Cangnan;

…… and General Zhao, who wielded a knife to kill the ghost-faced man and saved his whole family on that rainy night.

They are all night watchmen, and their bodies exude the same dazzling brilliance as the Great Xia God.

Lin Qiye is also a night watchman.

But he always felt ...... I am a little different from them.

What's the difference? If one day, when a crisis comes, and it is your turn to sacrifice to save the tens of thousands of people behind you, will you do it?

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiye affirmed this answer.

He would.

The choice he made was the same as with these night watchmen, and the same as the gods of Great Xia.

So between them...... What's the difference?

Lin Qiye lowered his head and walked silently between the wind and snow, he stared at the marks under his feet in a daze, moving forward stiffly like a puppet.

He's thinking, he's confused.

His thoughts followed his memory, moving forward little by little...... The change in Beijing, the trip of the human circle, the town guarding Shenlong Pass, [Nightfall] was established, and joined the night watchman......

He reminisced about the past, and suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind!

His mind returned to that rainy night.

In his arms was Zhao Kongcheng, who was seriously injured and dying, and behind him was a low and dilapidated hut, and beside him was the body of a ghost-faced man who was gradually resurrected.

On that day, he made a ten-year covenant with Zhao Kongcheng's corpse, and on that day, he kowtowed goodbye to the past, and on that day, he pulled out Zhao Kongcheng's straight knife inserted in the ground, killed the ghost-faced man with his own hands, and embarked on the road of the night watchman.

That's where it all began.

At this moment, Lin Qiye knew that he was different.

He made a ten-year covenant, he drew his sword to kill the ghostface, and he joined the Night's Watch...... He did all this never to save the world, all he really wanted to protect was his aunt and Ah Jin in the low house behind him, and the dream of the cold man's corpse.

From the beginning, his original intentions were selfish.

Even if he came to this point, even if he became the captain of the special squad, deep down in his heart, he was still the selfish Lin Qiye, he would raise his hand, point to the neon city center in the rainy night, and ask the dying Zhao Kongcheng, "Is it worth it for them?" ”

The dead Zhao Kongcheng did not answer, and now Lin Qiye still can't answer.

He can give his life and everything he has to protect tens of thousands of people...... But that's only because, it's his duty, it's what he's supposed to do as a night watchman.

Deep down in his heart, he is not a selfless person who is willing to protect the people in the world, perhaps, this is the reason why he is different from them?

Lin Qiye, who was thinking about it, stumbled under his feet, and a shining coat of arms fell out of his arms and fell into the thick snow.

Lin Qiye was stunned.

The crimson cloak fluttered in the wind and snow, and he hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick up the coat of arms, wiped the snowflakes off the surface with his thumb, turned over, and looked at the four lines of words engraved on the back of the coat of arms.

He was silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly:

"I ...... It's selfish......"
