Chapter 1351

"I can't blame you either, Qingxiang." Xiao Niao You Xingye reached out his hand and gently rubbed Qingxiang's hair. "If it weren't for the initial secret being revealed, even I, uncle, wouldn't know that the identity of the Fire Thief is bai e."

"Moreover, bai e actually chooses to use the power of 'destruction' to oppose 'destruction'..." Bai Zi was somewhat surprised. "... Isn't it that the more someone harbors such thoughts, the more they can earn a glance and attention from the Star God? I see the star is just like that."

"Do you still remember those previous Extinction Sovereigns—especially what Phantasm said?" Lingyin extended her index finger and waved it in midair. "They all act with a 'negation of the world's fundamental networks,' the networks referring to the paths, which means different Extinction Sovereigns are 'assassins' of different paths. Iron Tomb kills Wisdom, Phantasm kills Hunt, although it's not yet clear which paths the other few sovereigns want to negate, but they are definitely related to this."

"Hmm... So?" Qin xiang tilted her head.

"So, is the path of 'Destruction' itself also supposed to be negated? Although bai e is merely a string of data, it itself gave rise to the idea of negating 'Destruction'. I wonder if in the future there will be more people like bai e, who take 'Destruction' Nanuke as their source of power to embark on the path, ultimately becoming the key force in negating 'Destruction'."

""If you stay by my side, I will hesitate… but this world can no longer accommodate an indecisive soldier.""

The hero in their heart let out a soft sigh.

""Do you still remember?" ka e si lan na said, "When we were kids, if we drew 'King' or 'Warrior', we would cheer and jump; if we drew 'Demon' or 'Drunkard', we'd complain that this round doesn't count and draw again… Want to take it back? Just take it back, kids are always happy…""

""But an adult's fate never offers the choice to turn back.""

""Then go, ka e si lan na. As you promised: deceive the world, seize the fire seed, reverse fate…" The hero in their heart said, "Burn yourself fiercely, take futility as your sword, and defy the gods——""

""Hmm." ka e si lan na solemnly placed his hand on his chest and swore, "In the name of 'Burdened World', I promise you…… KefaLe will never be forgotten.""

……

There are still 33550336 cycles of eternal recurrence until the world's destruction.

""Do you still remember them, ka e si lan na of the Fate-less Dawn?""

""The hero tore the sky, the holy woman fell onto the cliff, the chess player raised the initial fire, in the name of defying the divine edict.""

""How admirable! Yet fate has always been generous; those who rush to death must meet their end. You, savior, look at their lightless ashes! Do you still dare to dream of keeping them?""

""Those who push the stone upward will surely suffer the earth's overturn; those who disturb time can only add a tattered shell. Hear me, you are no different from them: just as the singers also grow hoarse, the clear-sighted also become blind——""

""Go! Forge ahead alone——""

""Revelry, dance, immerse in the tireless fire, never cease!""

……

""That is…… the voice in the dream?""

Bai e didn't hear it clearly. It seemed to be speaking, shouting, mocking. When he opened his eyes, the ancient tree before him turned into a sapling, drilling into the soil; the forest before him donned white clothes, then in the next second dyed a patch of verdant green…… Time kept rewinding before his eyes, and when that voice completely faded, weng fa luo si had returned to the origin where nothing had ever existed.

""As Teacher Ke Xia said, in that void, KefaLe stood at the center of chaos; time, space, and causality all flowed forth from its body……""

""When the tide of ages finally subsided, it was already year 3870 of the Light Calendar.""

——

Spy playing house.

When Xing and Danheng first arrived, it was year 4931 of the Light Calendar; that is, time had been rewound over a thousand one hundred years ago. Calculating, it was just about the time when the Fire Pursuit Journey was about to begin.

Lao ai de put down the newspaper; today's front-page headline was all about speculation on Laigushi's identity, but most focused on its relation to the former two 'Emperors'—that is, the true, hidden, Emperor the Third.

Some speculated that during the second Emperor War, the second-generation Emperor, on his deathbed, passed the location of this hidden Emperor's scepter to Laigushi, so that it would inherit his will and destroy all organic life. But Laigushi not only inherited it, but also expanded upon it: deciding to use the second-generation Emperor's legacy to create an Extinction Sovereign to kill the Erudite Venerable, and this sovereign would later also carry out the plan to exterminate organic life under Destruction.

Lao ai de let out a soft sigh, feeling that although it was absurd, it somehow made some sense. After all, a genius's ideas are not something ordinary people can easily guess; up to now, even if Lao ai de racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why Laigushi hated the Erudite Venerable so much.

Could the Erudite Venerable pose some as-yet-unapparent danger to the existence of the universe?

But the genius club altogether has over eighty members, and never has anyone heard of a genius wanting to kill the Erudite Venerable. If it weren't for the train arriving at weng fa luo si, he really wouldn't have known that this corner of the universe actually harbored such a madman.

""The Golden War has lasted nearly a century. Heichi's threat is escalating, unstoppable.""

""That was the era when the 'Sunlight Thunder Knight' pointed his sword to the sky. She failed to obtain the fire seed, but she fulfilled the prophecy—that mortals too can slay gods. From then on, the remnants of the old dynasty, 'Caesar' Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela, issued a call to all nations, summoning the golden‑descended heroes to wage war against the Titans——""

""That is the… first Fire Pursuit Journey, buried in history and ending in failure.""

""The first eternal recurrence.""

Ka e si lan na slowly approached a beautiful black‑haired maiden.

The maiden lowered her head slightly after hearing his statement, pondering for a moment.

""So, you mean: you went back upstream in time, reaching this seabed never before reached, just to tell us—that the Fire Pursuit Journey, and indeed all of weng fa luo si, are nothing but a bubble in the Star God's dream?""
