It has been sleeping quietly in the darkness for thousands of years. The faint light is like a glimmer of dawn in the depths. A goddess stretches out her hand with a warm and soft smile to guide her children forward. Everyone is in such a scene.
I was completely shocked and couldn't express myself for a long time, even Brando was no exception.
"Master Martha..." Akane, Funya and Mephistopheles muttered to themselves absentmindedly.
She never gave up on her child, as if she had been silent for thousands of years, but this flame was always burning tenaciously under the erosion, through the darkness, until her child came here again. That
It is a lighthouse, but it reveals gentle and great power, penetrating into people's hearts.
Brando raised his head, with a rare solemn look on his face. This is the transmission of civilization. Countless generations later, they came here again, picked up the torches left by their ancestors on the ground, and let the fire of civilization shine through again.
Through the darkness, a kind of sacred emotion was flowing in his blood. Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel the pulsing of such indestructible power. It was the yearning of all intelligent creatures for civilization, order, fire and light.
When Prometheus lit the first fire on the dark and vast earth, civilization walked out of ignorance for the first time and began its never-ending search for a bright world. Such emotions are passed down in the blood.
, at a specific moment, it suddenly awakens, like a clarion call on the vast land, and instantly brings people back to the era of pioneering in the wilderness.
This is the will of our ancestors.
Brando took a deep breath, and he couldn't help but look back at the others. Mephisto nodded to him, Qian put her hands on her chest nervously, looking at him uneasily, and Funia
Look at them, then look at Brando, a little puzzled.
"Then I'll go and let the fire spread all over the land." Brando replied.
"Go." The Gray Sword Saint looked at this 'lighthouse' with a solemn expression.
So Brando turned around again, walked up the steps step by step, and approached the huge crystal. The crystal was constantly emitting soft light, and when everyone raised their heads, they watched him walk towards the light step by step, and that
The light actually feathered behind him, becoming more and more like the robe and crown added to his body.
At this moment, a motto from the Cangzhi Poem of the Cruz people suddenly flashed across Mephisto's mind:
'My child, I will give you wings made of light, so that I can call you the king -'
Although he thought this was just nonsense, under such a scene, the Gray Sword Saint couldn't help but beat in his heart. This scene made it look like Brando was approaching Ma step by step.
Sha, the supreme goddess of all things, is about to crown the young man who lowered his head.
But he didn't know that this feeling was stronger in Brando's heart. The closer he got to the light, the stronger it became, as if it wanted to include him. He stretched out his hand and put it on the crystal, feeling in his heart
With a bang, this sentence emerged uncontrollably:
"Master Martha, after thousands of years, your child is back here again——"
But what happened next frightened Brando so much that he almost let go of his hand and rolled down the pyramid. Because without any warning, a strange will responded to the crystal, and this will gently enveloped him.
, sighed:
"Yes, it's been a long time, my child."
"This this……"
Brando's mind went blank for a moment, with only one voice echoing, this is Martha! This is the most holy mother of all things, the pure and kind intention of the world, Martha! That countless NPC, players are praising them all the time.
The goddess actually exists! But it’s impossible!
It was like a thunder exploded in his mind, and the mighty roar instantly made his thinking completely stop. No player would think that in the era after the gods disappeared, Martha still existed in this world, although
She left behind kindness, but all that remains is a memory.
People remember this goddess time and again, hoping that she will still stay in this world and continue to take care of her children. Because the world needs a spiritual support to live strong.
Martha no longer exists. There is only a connection between heaven and earth. This is the common understanding of everyone after the Four Saints.
But I didn't expect that the supreme goddess would actually stay on this land, silently and permanently watching over her children.
No one thought of it.
Brando didn't expect that for some reason, the moment he heard Martha's gentle voice, he felt something wet rolling down his cheek. The strong emotion couldn't be stopped, so he
It seemed that at that moment, after being away from the warm embrace of my mother for thousands of years, I felt the soft tenderness again.
"Ah, there's sand in my eyes." Brando said a little embarrassed.
Martha smiled slightly.
"Don't cry, children. Although I am far away from you, I can still feel your belief in pursuing and yearning for light. I have watched civilization emerge from its infancy, pass through the dark land, split the thorns, and stagger out step by step.
Savage, one day, I believe, I believe you will overcome these hardships and achieve final victory."
"You who have inherited the ancient bloodline are the best children of mankind. You should be strong." She said softly.
"Victory?" Brando was startled, a little confused.
But Martha shook her head slightly and asked: "So my child, are you ready to light this fire and inherit the path of your predecessors? You understand that the torch of civilization is passed from generation to generation, and the predecessors fall
However, later generations have regained their will. This kind of history is originally an epic filled with the most tragic and courageous stories of mortal races——"
"This is a game for the brave, and everyone is a part of this magnificent epic, so my child, when you come here, are you ready to accept it all?"
Brando took a breath. This was the proper procedure. Although he had never ignited the original fire, he also knew that what remained of the original fire should be part of Martha's will. But at this moment, he felt
There was something different, and he was somewhat certain that the person in front of him should be Martha herself.
Although she is not here.
"Of course, I'm ready," he replied.
"Okay, my child, let me ask you a few questions?" A soft voice sounded in his heart.
"Eh?" Brando was slightly startled. This is not right! He still understood the general steps of igniting the fire. After making an agreement with Martha, this kind goddess should directly start the order. But now there are so many
Did he take a step? Could it be because of the primitive fire? He had never lit the primitive fire, so he was not sure, but at this time it was more appropriate to follow the goddess's wishes, so he nodded.
What's more, the mother-like tenderness of this goddess makes people unable to bear to refuse her.
Martha smiled.
"I ask you, child, do you have faith in your heart?"
"belief?"
"The idea of having something to live for can be regarded as a belief in itself. Whether it is honor, strength, or just wanting to move forward, because with a goal, civilization can move forward."
At that moment, Brando thought of everyone Eruin was familiar with. He thought of Freya, Roman and the Regent Princess, the residents of Butchi, and the refugees he brought out from Lidenburg.
"Maybe, there is..."
Martha placed a crown made of light on his head, and gently touched his forehead in a soft white light: "Child, do you understand the meaning of the crown?"
What does the crown mean? Brando thought, isn't it a symbol of supreme royal power? But this answer must be wrong for Martha, because human kingship is meaningless to her, and she doesn't need power.
.So he shook his head.
"The person who wears the crown is called a king. The person who is called a king always walks in front of everyone. Only in this way can he let his people see his back. However, as long as people
Seeing that figure will make them stronger and give them the courage to move on.”
"So do you understand? A king is destined to shine and heat, to be looked up to by everyone. In the darkness, he leads everyone to overcome thorns and thorns, always moving forward to illuminate the endless depths, such an indomitable road.
, can it be called the dedication of a king."
"The king's... dedication?" Brando felt the crown placed on his head by the goddess, and his heart suddenly jumped a little.
"What do you think is dedication?"
"Devotion?"
Brando raised his head. He couldn't see the goddess clearly in the hazy light, but the woman always looked at him with a smile, and there was an unchanging expectation in her eyes. Such expectations made him courageous.
He answered word for word according to his own heart:
"I think the so-called dedication should be something that can satisfy your heart and complete it without any regrets."
"Have you any such thing to accomplish, my child?"
"I think...yes?" Brando once again thought of Eruin in his homeland, and of the palace burning in the flames. The so-called irresistible desire to change things, maybe this is what he came to
meaning here.
The moment he saw Martha, he suddenly understood.
The expectation in Martha's eyes turned into approval.
She said: "So some people are destined to be different from others, just because they always have such a light in their hearts and an unyielding belief to change the world. No matter whether they succeed or not, there is always a bright future behind them.
Stretch out the wings of light and make everyone behind him feel warm."
"Such people are called heroes by history."
"Child, I am very satisfied with your answer, so I give you a gift to witness you fulfill your promise -" the goddess suddenly said, as soon as she finished speaking, a voice sounded in Brando's heart:
"System prompt: [Destiny Talent] The Chosen One, activate."
"Fate...talent of destiny?" Brando was once again stunned, talent of destiny? Hasn't he already accepted the inheritance of the Dragon of Darkness? But talent of dual destiny? What the hell is this! What is going on?
, is there a bug in the system?
Brando felt that he was a little numb from the shock, but he still couldn't help but cursed that even if you were Lord Martha, you couldn't cheat like this! And why are you the chosen one? Martha's destiny talent should not be
Is he the son of Martha?
The goddess seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled slightly: "Indeed, the chosen one is not the best talent. But it has placed my expectations on you, my child, just like what was described in the ancient prophecies
——I will give you wings made of light, so that I can call you king."
"I hope you can continue to act according to your words, and then one day, my child, I will be glorified because of you."
"Glory because of me?" Brando was puzzled.
But the goddess stopped answering. She raised her head, her gaze seemed to pass through the endless void, and all the darkness was clearly visible under her gaze. Then a gentle smile appeared on her face:
"Come, let us witness this moment together, my child, the light will return to the earth."
She raised her hand.
An endless white light emerged from the darkness.
that moment--
The entire ring of trade winds, everyone, and all the monsters, suddenly stopped for an instant. Everyone and every monster felt a faint flutter in their hearts. As if by some kind of opportunity, the laws between heaven and earth were completely calm.
Coming down, the power of the huge demonic tide was suppressed in an instant.
"This is impossible!" Such thoughts emerged in everyone's mind, but nothing was impossible. When they subconsciously turned around, they saw sword-like white lights piercing through the darkness between heaven and earth.
The ring of trade winds is a wall of clouds towering over the top of the clouds, streaks piercing the sky, piercing through like shells.
