Zheng Dong looked at Elise in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of melancholy in his heart.
Sometimes he wonders, what exactly is he pursuing?
Is it immortality?
Now immortality is within easy reach for him.
Cultivation emphasizes being out of the world.
However, in order to seek the truth, he saw through the world of mortals early and practiced hard in the mountains.
Although the world of mortals is bitter, it also has fun. Zheng Dong did not enjoy these.
In order to develop the ancient world, Zheng Dong did not hesitate to deceive thousands of believers in the Knight Continent. These people were his strongest believers.
But Zheng Dong abandoned them.
After he achieved his goal of devouring the Knight Continent, he swept these people into the tomb of history like garbage.
These believers, until the moment of death, still look forward to coming to his kingdom of God.
But they are destined to be disappointed.
Like thousands of mortals, they will be reincarnated and undergo the suffering of reincarnation.
Although Zheng Dong did not do evil, his inadvertent decision would hurt the lives of countless people.
They should have a good life.
You shouldn't die waiting and expecting.
Elise is lucky, she waited for the person she was waiting for at the end of her life.
But Zheng Dong's former believers were not so lucky.
They died without seeing the god they believed in. Even so, those people were still willing to believe in him.
This is what makes Zheng Dong feel most guilty.
In fact, what he hopes to see is that if he does not respond to believers for a long time, believers will gradually doubt their faith and eventually abandon their faith.
But no.
The Temple Knights of those days believed in him until their death.
Feeling the heaviness in his heart, Zheng Dong suddenly understood the underlying cause and effect.
This cause and effect intertwined the fate of people like a rope. Zheng Dong could clearly see that his and Elise's fates were more intertwined than before.
The thousands of believers who believed in him at the beginning have almost no causal involvement with him, but by following the rope of fate, they can still clearly find each of them.
"This is...the law of cause and effect!"
At this moment, he actually understood a new law.
In addition to the five elements, the newly understood law is the law of cause and effect.
The law of cause and effect is also a great law that ranks highly among the three thousand great ways, and its power is much more powerful than the ordinary great laws.
What’s even more amazing is that mastering the law of cause and effect can influence the fate of yourself and others to a certain extent.
The deeper the mastery, the greater the influence.
Because it was a preliminary understanding, his law of cause and effect only had a profound meaning, but everything was difficult at the beginning. Zheng Dong believed that with the help of the jade plate fragments and merit, he would be able to go a long way on this great law.
The light in his eyes disappeared, and the thread of fate completely disappeared in his eyes.
a long time.
He was the first to break the silence: "I apologize to you because I deceived you. I am not the God of truth at all."
"I know."
Elise shook her head, "I have guessed it a long time ago."
In a thousand years, she had already figured out all the problems, especially after seeing the monks from the Extraordinary Association.
Zheng Dong is most likely not a god, but a powerful monk.
Although she has embarked on the path of temple sacrifice and her divine power has a very powerful brainwashing effect, she has long since returned to her original sanity without brainwashing for a thousand years.
Elise is not stupid, and in fact the royal family of the elves cannot be stupid either.
In fact, Elise has more choices.
As a royal family member of the elves, she can completely take refuge in the elves.
The elves are one of the largest tribes among the alien races. Although their strength is not worth mentioning compared to the human race, among the alien races, only the sea tribe can stabilize them.
Moreover, the elves occupy a star plane, and as the Elise Moon Elf, they can even participate in the candidacy of the Elf Queen.
In this regard, the elves and humans are completely different.
The human race basically has no bloodline, but the elves do. Among all the elves, the sun elves and moon elves have the noblest bloodlines. They are regarded as the royal family of elves and are candidates for the elf queen.
Elise is the moon elf.
"Do you...want any compensation?"
Zheng Dong's confidence was somewhat lacking.
"You don't have to feel guilty. As I said just now, it is my own choice to believe in you.
Without you, I would have become a slave and died a miserable death in humiliation. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If I have to say I have any regrets, it is that for the past thousand years, I have always wanted to say something to you.
."
Speaking of this, Elise took a deep breath and a smile appeared on her pale face: "I like you. I liked you a thousand years ago. Later, I became a temple priest and was affected by divine power. I don't know who I am.
The more I believe in you, the more I like you. It was not until later that my divine power gradually disappeared that I realized that I should like you more."
Elise raised her head, and in the last moments of her life, she finally revealed the secret that had been hidden in her heart for thousands of years.
"Thank you for your like."
After a while, Zheng Dong said this. He raised his hand, stroked Elise's silver-white hair, and said softly: "The elves' spring of life can extend your life. The moon elves soak in the spring of life.
Life span can be extended ten times.”
Elise looked at him steadily, then shook her head gently.
"I am satisfied to be able to see you in my last moments."
Of course she knew about the fountain of life of the elves, but soaking in the fountain of life was a treatment that only candidates for the Elf Queen could enjoy.
In fact, the water of life in Zheng Dong's hand can also prolong life, but it is not as abnormal as the elves' fountain of life.
The Fountain of Life of the elves only has an effect on elves. If other races soak in the Fountain of Life, they can only recover their injuries and have no effect on extending their lifespan.
Moreover, different elves have different effects of soaking in the Fountain of Life. Only the royal family of elves, such as Sun Elves and Moon Elves, can extend their lifespan ten times after soaking in the Fountain of Life.
Other elves don't get this kind of treatment.
Elise knew how powerful the elves were. Although Zheng Dong was a monk, the elves were the leading race in the wilderness after the human race. Ordinary monks would not be able to let them take out the fountain of life.
Elise doesn't want Zheng Dong to pay a huge price or even take risks for her.
For a moon elf who is about to reach the end of her life, the elves are destined not to use the fountain of life to save her.
"Are you trying to escape?"
"What?" Elise looked at Zheng Dong blankly.
"Or is it that only death can give you the courage to say you like me?"
A blush flashed across Elise's pale and pretty face, and she defended: "Of course not!"
She denied it outright, but she didn't have enough confidence to deny it.
"Elise, come with me."
Seeing Zheng Dong's sincere eyes, Elise's original firm attitude melted and finally turned into a "Okay!"
