Chapter 589

"Even now, I still don't understand Makoto's thoughts. I don't know which path is the best between Eternity and Transience."

"But I only know... if we continue like this, Inazuma will be destroyed!"

"I will not allow Inazuma to reach this step!"

"I will protect the things Makoto left for me with my life!"

"I love her, and I love Inazuma! If only change can save Inazuma, then..."

"Transience is also Eternity!"

352. This move is called the Divine Sword Art of Thunder

Looking at the persistence in Ei's eyes, the Shogun said nothing more.

She understood that just as she would not reverse her own will, Ei was the same.

"Then come."

The Shogun walked toward Ei step by step.

"Use your sword to tell me the difference between Eternity and Transience, the past and the present!"

Ei didn't reply, just walked toward her step by step like the Shogun. Lumine herself wanted to go up to help, but looking at Ei's eyes, she finally stopped.

Now, it is her own battle.

It is the correction of the current Ei to the cowardly self of the past.

Powerful sword light collided together, the sword skills that reached the extreme collided. Even though she was used to the more mysterious and unpredictable sword skills of Keqing and the others.

Lumine had to admit that the sword skills of these two people had already surpassed the human level.

Ei and the Shogun who exploded with full power, even Lumine didn't dare to join the battlefield rashly.

She was only at the middle stage of Essence-Refining-to-Qi after all.

The space was full of bursting thunder. With Paimon's strength, being affected by this kind of thunder would be no less than Ningguang hitting her with a Five-Thunder Talisman.

Therefore, Paimon had long been hiding on Lumine.

"You said that the future of Inazuma can only be guaranteed by Eternity!"

The Shogun blocked Ei's attack with one sword and stabbed at her vital point with a backhand.

"That's right! But that was what the cowardly me thought!"

Ei blocked with her hand and flicked the Shogun away again.

"Even now, I still don't understand what Eternity is and what Transience is, but I know that Eternity cannot protect Inazuma! I just want Inazuma to survive!"

"Absurd! You are questioning your own power!"

"If I really had invincible power, why did Makoto die back then, and why did I lose to the Conqueror of Demons?"

"You have lost the confidence of being invincible!"

"The so-called invincibility was just my wishful thinking at the beginning! I was never the strongest! The current me cannot protect Inazuma! This change can only be solved by reform!"

"The recovery of spiritual energy can also be suppressed by Eternity!"

"What I need is not suppression, but the future of Inazuma! The dream I promised Makoto and the subjects!"

Ei seized the opportunity and stabbed the Shogun's heart with one sword, and the Shogun died again.

This was the nth time the Shogun had died in Ei's hands since the war started.

Ei, who had been honing her swordsmanship in seclusion for so many years, was finally stronger than before.

The Shogun was the embodiment of all the strength of her former self.

It's just that seeing the Shogun defeated by her own hands, Ei became more enlightened in her heart.

"Nothing in the world is immutable. These five hundred years, I have become stronger. I myself have already broken Eternity!"

"The former me was cowardly and selfish. In order not to see tragedy again, I blocked Inazuma with childish means!"

"I thought that as long as everything remained unchanged, Inazuma would always be Inazuma..."

"But in fact, I myself am also becoming stronger. Eternity has never existed. At the very least, it doesn't exist in me!"

"I don't know if the current me counts as strong, but Shogun..."

Ei looked at the brilliant Musou no Hitotachi in her hand and smiled with relief.

"I choose to look forward..."

"Even if the future is not perfect, even if I continue to experience loss, but I think..."

"As long as Inazuma can continue, this is the best answer I can give to Makoto and the subjects of Inazuma."

"I am still very cowardly, but this time, I don't want to retreat!"

Looking at the Shogun who condensed again, a light smile appeared on Ei's face.

"Come on, continue the battle!"

"All mistakes were born from me, and they should be ended by my own hands."

"One year, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years..."

"Until I can change you, until I can let Inazuma survive in the way the subjects want."

"Continue, Shogun!"

"I don't have the courage to face the past, but I should have the strength to move forward!"

The Shogun stared at Ei. This time, she didn't go up to fight directly.

After a long silence, the Shogun said softly:

"Is this the will you possess now?"

"Yes."

Ei's eyes were firm. The childish mentality of the past gradually dissipated. At this time, she had already thought about how to bear the responsibility of a god.

"This will was given to me by Makoto, and it is also what I should bear, what I must bear."

"She represents Transience, I represent Eternity. We have always been one. If Eternity is forcibly implemented in Inazuma,"

"Then, I have killed the last will Makoto left for me."

"She might have never left, just changed to a way I never wanted to admit, continuing to leave her shadow by my side."

"Inazuma is her treasure, it is my treasure, and it is also your treasure."

The Shogun's eyes were a bit dazed, and she didn't know why her heart was trembling.

"Must Inazuma be reformed?"

Noticing that the Shogun was a bit shaken, Ei hurriedly said:

"Yes, Shogun! You, me, we cannot save the current Inazuma."

"The only way out is with Lumine, and in Shushan."

"The recovery of spiritual energy is not our own business, but the trend of the entire Teyvat."

"Protecting Inazuma is not our own business, but the mission of every Inazuma person."

Seeing this, Lumine also hurriedly spoke:

"Shogun, you don't know the horror of the recovery of spiritual energy."

"Do you remember Kaedehara Kazuha who blocked your attack that day? He is a Shushan disciple and also a cultivator in the early stage of Essence-Refining-to-Qi."

"The recovery of spiritual energy will bring massive fierce beasts. Now, fierce beasts in the early stage of Essence-Refining-to-Qi have appeared in Liyue, and Foundation Establishment fierce beasts are countless."

"You are indeed very strong, and so is Ei, but how can you guarantee that you can protect Inazuma in the future recovery of spiritual energy?"

"You are only one person after all. How can the power of one person resist the trend of the world?"

"You can say that you can migrate all Inazuma people to Inazuma City for protection."

"But... other areas, do you not want them anymore?"

The Shogun remained silent. Lumine's words were true in her identification.

"Even if the fierce beasts in the early stage of Essence-Refining-to-Qi are not your opponents, Teyvat is evolving. In time, fierce beasts at the peak of Essence-Refining-to-Qi will inevitably appear."

"At that time, you won't be their opponent, and everyone gathered in Inazuma City will die!"

"Don't talk about these, rejecting the trend of the era is rejecting the possibility of continued development."

"Shogun, there is nothing that is truly eternal. Even if there is, it should be the future."

"An infinite future is Eternity!"

In fact, the Shogun still didn't change her pursuit of Eternity, but...

Lumine's words hit her program's vital point.

If many fierce beasts comparable to Xiao were born in the future, she would definitely not be able to stop them. ===== CHAPTER 590 =====

If many fierce beasts comparable to Xiao were to be born in the future, she absolutely would not be able to stop them.
