The picture disappeared, the fragments dispersed, and Yun Che's soul returned to a dead silence.
A kind of dead silence that has never existed before.
Both Yun Che and Li Suo fell into a long silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Suo said quietly: "If Mo'e had told the world the truth about the existence of the Ancestral Sword and the Wheel of Tribulations earlier, would it have been a different ending?"
Yun Che responded with an erratic tone: "It's impossible."
"Why?"
"There are many reasons..." Yun Che's voice was slow: "The four great creation gods and the four great demon emperors have no idea about the nature of the Ancestral Sword and the Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. And they exist as 'corrections' and cannot be done.
The secret of the ancestor known to the world."
"Mo'e's knowledge was informed by the sword spirit of the ancestor. It was both a heart-to-heart and a trust. And with Mo'e's extremely upright character, how could he easily reveal the secret of the ancestor to others."
"Moreover, this truth is too heavy. Once known, the two ultimate weapons in the cognition will become weapons of judgment that are always hanging in the sky. The higher the position, the more eternal soul pressure will be endured.
I think if Mo E could choose again, he would more likely choose to never know."
"I am even more convinced that he never thought of telling him all the reasons until he personally buried Mo Su in the abyss."
"Why...why?" Li Suo asked the same two words.
Yun Che's soul sea tightened violently, and he seemed to have calmed down for a long time before he said softly: "Mo E loved his son after all. He chose to bury him with his own hands, but he was also determined to watch him take him with him.
To have no regrets, to persevere, to die tragically, rather than to be confused and regretful... Just like Qingyue, until she falls into the abyss, she only hopes that I will only have pure hatred for her."
He thought of the last paragraph in the Dragon God's ancient book about Mo'e, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor:
"On the top of the palace, the God-killing Emperor looked up to the sky and closed his eyes. He died at the end of his life. The last divine words were the name 'Mosu'."
Back then, when he and Qianye Ying'er read this record, they were filled with shock, but also ridicule and doubt. As both fathers, he could not imagine what kind of situation could make a person ruthlessly kill his own children...
…Since I have already been ruthlessly killed, why should I mourn before my death?
Yun Che murmured absently: "I have been inherited by the evil god, and some ancient 'truths' have been pieced together in my mind little by little."
"The original Zhutian God Emperor, in my opinion, was a creation god who was upright and almost foolish. Many pieces of information and various records pointed to him as the origin of all disasters, his arbitrary, cold-blooded and ruthless nature, and ultimately
It led to the destruction of the era of gods and demons, and also led to the 'Crimson Disaster' that almost destroyed the current era."
"And the Evil God has always been a savior in my understanding. He single-handedly cleaned up the mess left by the end of the era of gods and demons, calmed down all the remaining disasters, sealed the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord and the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, and left behind
I passed down my inheritance and will, and through his descendants...that is, I stopped the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor and saved the world."
"The Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor's anger and hatred towards Mo E also deepened my negative view of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Emperor."
"But..." Yun Che's voice was filled with a bit of sadness: "The shadow of the evil god I saw was so messy and decadent. I asked him at that time if he hated Mo E, and he replied, 'He is not qualified.
Hate' has made me confused for a long, long time..."
All the sins are mine, not his...
The former name of the Creator God of Elements was not a sign of abandonment, but I was no longer worthy of it... After living in seclusion, it was not a sign of despair, but a sign that I no longer had the face to face the world...
It is my sin that built this world...
At the beginning, those words that he could not understand finally had clear enough answers at this moment.
"The evil god doesn't hate Mo E, he hates himself. He feels that if he hadn't united with the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, if he hadn't led Mo Su step by step to get rid of the shackles of the old rules, and encouraged him to break through the barrier between gods and demons and fall in love with the daughter of Pan Ming...
...Nothing will happen next. He believes that he harmed the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, their daughter, Mo Su, Mo E... and ultimately led to the end of the era of gods and demons."
"And the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor Mo'e also hates himself. The Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword has wielded three swords in history. And these three ancient and unparalleled Ji Dao swords..."
"He swung his first sword at his son, severing the family relationship."
"The second sword swung at the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, severing the friendship."
"The third sword seemed to be swung at the evil god, but in fact it was swung at myself, cutting off the rest of my life."
Yun Che let out a long sigh: "Mo'e sacrificed himself to maintain the cornerstone of balance in the world of gods and demons; Ni Xuan, until his death, was always thinking about the safety of future generations... But why are their lives like this?
The ending..."
"What is right and what is wrong...what is true and what is false..."
"Why is it that the more we know, the less we can see clearly what is right and wrong..."
"So... everything I am doing now... what I have always thought is right or wrong... is it really what I thought was right or wrong... is what I think is true, or is it just a bubble of illusion..."
"Even the Evil God and the Emperor Zhutian are like this...then does my so-called unswerving persistence...really point in the direction I think..."
"Yun Che...?"
"Yun Che!"
"Yun Che!!"
The sea of soul suddenly erupted with a holy light that was too dazzling, finally calming down the turmoil of his soul that was too chaotic.
Li Suo's blurry figure appeared in Yun Che's soul sea with a holy white light, emitting a warmth that could warm all the souls in the world.
Her soft voice, from the very center of his soul sea, gently penetrated into every soul string of his soul: "You once said that there may never be true right or wrong in this world. It is better to stick to right and wrong than to stick to right and wrong.
What is more important between good and evil is to stand firm.”
Yun Che: "..."
"At first, I couldn't understand your words. Because the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, are extremely clear in my understanding."
"Until, I watched you commit evil deeds again and again, and felt the sting of your soul again and again."
"If you don't have good intentions, why would you suffer from evil deeds?"
"If your heart is good, why do you never stop stepping into the abyss of evil?"
Her voice became softer and softer, like the breeze blowing over the clouds and the morning dew condensing: "My cognition is incomplete, and my thoughts are always as slow as you said. But these years, watching everything you do,
Feeling the fluctuations of your soul every moment, I slowly understood what you said back then."
"Your position, your persistence, and everything you must protect are beyond the concepts of right and wrong, good and evil in your eyes, and beyond your own existence. Therefore, even if every step you take steps on thorns that pierce your soul,
, and you never hesitated or stopped."
When she first entered the abyss, she kept questioning, sighing, and felt confused and helpless again and again... Later, she always watched silently, gave reminders, comforts, and occasionally, she would also give never-before-seen words.
suggestions that will be adopted.
"Even I have gradually recognized and accepted it, so why do you question your persistence?"
The sea of souls was silent. After a long time, Yun Che's rather strange voice came out: "I didn't know before that you are quite good at comforting people."
"..." Li Suo said with some uncertainty: "Is this... a compliment?"
Yun Che smiled and said in a very natural tone: "Don't worry, I have experienced a lot of bad things. My will is not as fragile as you think. I was just a little confused just now."
In fact, it is definitely not "a little".
"A creation god who symbolizes holiness and goodness actually agrees to stand beyond good and evil? If your believers back then knew this, I'm afraid your faith would collapse." Yun Che said in a strange tone: "I'm a little curious, yours
Position, what will it be?"
Unexpectedly, Li Suo gave him a direct answer: "My position is naturally yours."
"..." Yun Che was stunned for a moment.
"If the end of the road under your feet leads to huge consequences, I will bear them with you. After all, I am the person you call 'helping evil do evil', and I am also a incomplete God of Creation."
"So, there is no need to be anxious and confused anymore. You are not Ni Xuan or Mo E, but the unique Yun Che. I hope and believe that the destiny you will take will be different from theirs."
"Hmm..." Yun Che said as he was thinking: "Your words suddenly seem to have the divinity of the God of Creation... they actually moved me a little bit."
Li Suo: "...?"
A little white light shines slightly in the depths of the soul sea.
That was the last memory fragment left by the evil god.
But when this memory fragment appeared, what it released was a completely different soul breath from before.
"This soul breath..." Li Suo expressed her deep doubts: "Does it belong to...me?"
"Strange!" Yun Che was also startled for a moment: "How come there are memory fragments belonging to you in the evil god's place? Unless you gave them to him."
"..." Li Suo couldn't remember.
The soul breath released by this memory fragment is extremely weak, but it has a strong sense of incompleteness. It is either diluted by time or damaged by external forces.
The white light on the fragments spread out, spreading a pure white world in Yun Che's consciousness.
When the world gradually became clearer, Yun Che once again saw the outline of the Temple of Life.
However, the picture was extremely blurry, with broken parts everywhere.
In the picture, a white fairy figure slowly walks towards the Eternal Hub... Even though it is blurry like fog, but with such a peerless figure, it can still be seen that it is Li Suo, the God of Creation of Life.
She stretched out her palm, and the white light covered the sleeping girl in the Eternal Hub, and whispered in her mouth: "There is such a special soul base and soul source in the world, it is neither human, nor god, nor demon."
"This is...the union of gods and demons?"
At this time, the white light covering the girl's body suddenly dissipated.
The space was slightly distorted, and a shadow that seemed both virtual and real slowly appeared above the girl.
Yun Che couldn't see the entire shadow clearly, but he could vaguely make out that it was the shadow of a girl with hair as long as night and snow-white skin...but it wasn't Hong'er's hair color or Hong'er's body shape.
Facing the sudden appearance of the young girl, Li Suo's hands froze in mid-air and did not move for a long time.
As the creator of life, she has been soulless for a long time.
The girl spoke in an ethereal voice: "Hello, senior Li Suo, this is the first time we meet. My name is Ni Jie, and I am the daughter of my father Ni Xuan and my mother Jie Yuan."
Li Suo gently put down her snowy hand, her eyes still fixed on the girl's figure: "There are such beautiful things in the world..."
She is the creator god of life who combines all the splendors of the ancient world, but she also emits the soul-losing sigh that the world can only express when facing her.
The girl continued, her voice a little anxious: "Before my father separated my demon soul, I quietly hid a ray of soul. Fortunately, he was too confused and didn't notice it. But, this is the only thing left of my existence.
The last few dozen breaths.”
"I ask Senior Li Suo, the kindest and most beautiful person in the world, not to completely cover my soul base and soul source when solidifying the soul for my new body, but to leave a gap."
Li Suo looked at her: "Why?"
"Because my father was not willing to annihilate my demon soul, but hid it. Therefore, as long as my soul base is not sealed and the soul source is not destroyed, if one day I can touch the demon soul again, there may be a way to regain my integrity.
possible."
After a brief silence, Li Suo slowly shook his head: "No."
"Although I don't know the details, Ni Xuan was able to bear the pain and do this, which probably involves a promise to Mo E. He is not the one who breaks the promise, and Mo E is the one who cannot tolerate breaking the promise."
"Senior Li Suo is so smart." The girl praised, seemingly with a smile, as if she had no fear of disappearing forever: "But, I am just a woman who doesn't understand anything, and I don't care about your adults' promises. No more.
No amount of commitment is as important as my father's safety."
"Father's... safety?"
"Senior Li Suo, didn't you notice? Father's soul has been shattered."
"..." Li Suo did not deny it.
"He is too painful, too guilty, and too self-blaming. Many cracks have opened up in the creation soul. Now he just wants to hide from the world and sleep...and if the soul continues to crack like this, the time he will sleep will become longer and longer. Maybe,
Even if you take a million years, you may not be able to wake up for a hundred years.”
"I... can't do anything." Li Suo's voice was filled with deep powerlessness and guilt. She could save all souls, but she could not save the soul-crushing Creator God.
"But I have a way to restore my father's soul."
The girl's figure became obviously blurry, and her voice became more urgent: "Furthermore, I heard Senior Mo'e personally say that his commitment to the ancestral sword spirit and his intolerance for the fusion of gods and demons will last until he
At the end of his life...that is to say, after his death, all grievances, persistence, and promises will be resolved by himself."
"So, I will not put my father and Senior Li Suo in an awkward situation. Even if I want to return to integrity, it must be after the death of Senior Mo E. Senior Li Suo, please, otherwise, my father will really... slowly
Eternal sleep."
"But..." Li Suo said: "If you don't overturn your soul foundation and soul source, your new body and mind will never be able to grow, and you will always stay in the state of a child. And there are only endless and slim possibilities for recovering to completeness.
, so, do you still want to insist?"
"Well!" the girl responded without any hesitation: "I can't let my father continue to be so miserable. Even if there is only a little hope, I will save him. This is what I must do as a daughter. Otherwise, my mother will come back.
I will definitely be very sad when..."
Mother...come back?
Li Suo did not correct the girl's "fantasy" as a daughter about her mother's return.
The girl's figure weakened a bit, leaving only a faint layer of mist.
"Senior Li Suo, please agree. In return, I can tell Senior Li Suo a big secret. When my father fought with Senior Mo E, I found that I could... sense... Zhu..."
The girl's shadow suddenly disappeared with her voice.
