After hearing these words, Cao Yuan's mood gradually stabilized. He took a deep breath and released his palms on the table.
Zuo Qing closed his eyes helplessly and continued: "Everyone knows your relationship with An Qingyu... It is precisely because of this that I proposed to the gods of Daxia to let the [Yemu] team handle this matter.
avoid arousing suspicion.
After all, if you really do something that causes the failure to deal with the Anqingyu and the return of the [Key to the Door], then not only Daxia, but also the entire earth will be devastated... At that time, [Night] will become the entire
The sinners of the world.
But you are supposed to be heroes, aren't you?"
Lin Qiye met Zuo Qing's gaze, and her heart trembled slightly.
There were many complex emotions in Zuo Qing's eyes when he looked at them, including expectation, relief, helplessness, and guilt... Lin Qiye had also seen this kind of look in Ye Fan's eyes.
The difference is that Ye Fan only saw part of the rise of Nightfall back then, while Zuo Qing watched them go from nothing to what they are today step by step.
No one knows better than Zuo Qing how much contribution [Ye Mu] has made to Daxia and how many miracles he has created... He is like [Ye Mu]'s father, witnessing their growth, and because of this, he is unwilling to
Seeing this team finally reach the worst ending.
"So, don't go to Heaven, don't do stupid things...this is an order." Zuo Qing's tone was firm.
He took out a thick document from the drawer and placed it in front of Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan. His voice was a little gentler.
"An Qingyu has left the team. There are only two of you in the [Yemu] team for the time being, but it won't be long before Jialan recovers and returns. By then there will be three of you, and [Yemu] will not be forced to do so because of the small number of people.
Disband.
This is the roster of all current Night Watchmen. You can take a look at it first and select some elites to join you to make up for the lack of numbers."
Lin Qiye silently looked at the roster of night watchmen in front of him, without extending his hand.
After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath and slowly pushed the roster back in front of Zuo Qing.
"Sorry, Commander Zuo... I have no plans to add new members yet."
After the words fell, Lin Qiye said no more, turned and walked directly towards the door of the commander-in-chief's office. Cao Yuan didn't even glance at the roster and followed closely behind calmly.
boom--!
As the two crimson figures went away, the office door closed with a muffled sound.
In the empty room, Zuo Qing closed his eyes helplessly, leaned on the back of the chair, and sighed...
…
Heaven.
"The door of truth...is it..."
After listening to Lingbao Tianzun's answer, An Qingyu's eyes showed bitterness, "So, as long as I live, I will speed up the recovery of the Door of Truth and eventually become the [Key to the Door]?"
Lingbao Tianzun nodded silently.
"But one thing, I'm still not sure about." An Qingyu paused for a moment, "If the Door of Truth revives because of me, will it be me who becomes the [Key to the Door], or the [Key to the Door] borrows my body?"
Rebirth?"
"None of them." Lingbao Tianzun shook his head, "[The Key of the Door] is the incarnation of truth. He is a part of the truth and the guardian of the door of truth... You may not understand it this way. Do you know the weapon spirit?
"
"Is it the kind of spirituality cultivated by artifacts?"
"That's right, the [Key to the Door] is, in a sense, the tool spirit of the Door of Truth, so it itself will not die, because the truth will never be erased. The only way to eliminate it is to destroy the Door of Truth.
itself, thus causing the weapon spirit [Key of the Door] to fall into a sleep infinitely close to death. This is what the ancestor gods did back then.
And your existence is allowing the Door of Truth to continuously repair itself. When it is completely restored, the [Key to the Door] will naturally wake up... Strictly speaking, you are different individuals, but your destiny is different.
Closely connected, like an artifact and its spirit.
So, can you understand?"
An Qingyu nodded, "I understand."
"Then...what are you going to do?" Jiang Er pursed his lips slightly.
Lingbao Tianzun looked at An Qingyu complicatedly. After being silent for a long time, he slowly said: "The simplest and most direct way is to kill you and let your soul be destroyed. In this way, there will be no possibility of revival at the Gate of Truth."
…”
Hearing these words, Jiang Er's eyes narrowed and his face suddenly turned pale.
An Qingyu just nodded calmly, "This is indeed the safest and most cost-effective way. As long as you kill me, you can prevent the resurrection of a three-pillar god with a restraining system."
His expression did not change at all, as if what he was talking about was not his own death, but a rigorous scientific demonstration.
"But, I don't want to do this." Lingbao Tianzun said slowly, "To prevent the resurgence of the Gate of Truth, the key is to make it stop deconstructing the world. You are like the eyes of the Gate of Truth. As long as you completely
If the world is stripped away, it will naturally not be able to recover."
"Strip this world away...how to do this?"
"Seal you."
A faint halo appeared around Lingbao Tianzun, intertwined into countless complicated Dao patterns, displayed in front of An Qingyu, "Gathering the power of the gods of Great Xia, I will lay ninety-nine thousand nine hundred on you.
Ninety-nine seals will seal every inch of your skin and soul, and then sink you into the heavenly abyss to completely isolate you from this world...
In this way, we can not only save your life, but also prevent the revival of the [Key to the Door]."
An Qingyu was stunned for a long time, then smiled helplessly, "It sounds like some kind of punishment... Is it going to make me endure eternal loneliness?"
"No, the seal will seal your thoughts and perceptions. You will not feel any passage of time. No matter how long you are sunk into the spiritual abyss, it will only be a sleepy time for you. You will not feel lonely.
Any emotion included.”
Lingbao Tianzun paused, "An Qingyu, don't worry, as long as Pindao is still alive, he will continue to look for ways to completely eliminate the [Key to the Door]. One day, you will see the light of day again... But this time
It may take a long time, maybe a hundred years, a thousand years, or even... ten thousand years."
An Qingyu looked at Lingbao Tianzun for a moment and smiled slightly, "I believe in you. No matter you are Baili Fatty or Lingbao Tianzun, I believe in you... But, I still have a question."
An Qingyu stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Er beside him.
