At this time, the sky has turned white, but the dark sky is always blocked by a thick layer of clouds, rendering the whole world extremely depressing.
The ground is full of buried monuments and building ruins.
Standing on a high slope and looking out into the distance, a microcosm of a dilapidated city appears with no end in sight.
Outside the city, there is a blurry bluestone statue with no figure clearly visible.
"Ahem, let's go. I have already told you the story of this vast and endless seaport. Next, I will show you this hundred thousand miles of Free City..."
After saying that, the old woman waved her hand, extinguished the red lantern in her hand, hunched over her body, and walked downhill.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng also took steps to follow, but his eyes were always fixed on the bluestone statue not far away standing at the gate of the capital.
"Jiang Cheng, I had a strange dream before."
At this moment, Qingtan's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything and just walked mindlessly. He naturally knew what Qingtan was going to say. It was not a dream, but the resentment here invaded Qingtan's consciousness.
The events of that year were just replayed in Qingtan's consciousness.
"I dreamed..."
"That was not a dream, it was something that really happened. It was in that city. It was the tragic past of a goddess..." Jiang Cheng said.
Hearing this, Qingtan was startled, her eyes dimmed, and she stopped talking. She just walked silently beside Jiang Cheng. After a while, she said quietly: "She is so pitiful. People can really be like this."
Is it bad..."
Qingtan said softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment and then said: "People's hearts are fickle. If you can remain kind, you should never let the evil in your heart have a chance to turn around..."
"Um!"
Jiang Cheng didn't know how to answer Qingtan's question.
Of all the evils in the world, the one hidden deepest in the heart of a human being is always the deepest. Perhaps when the goddess woke up and saw being rescued, she wanted to repay these simple and kind-hearted mortals.
But these people didn't give her a chance to repay her. Instead, they swarmed up and ate her up.
"Perhaps the reason why the goddess appeared above the Free Capital that day is also related to this sealed city. If they were willing to treat her kindly for a moment, maybe..."
Thinking about it, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head and dispersed his thoughts.
"arrive……
The old lady has sent you here. After passing through the Central Street of the Free Capital, you will arrive at the Haikou teleportation array. Then everything will depend on you...
By the way, this girl is destined to be a goddess. If possible, please spend more time with her. I think the goddess must be very lonely..."
After saying that, the old woman stopped a hundred meters away from the capital, then turned her rickety body, holding the lantern and leaving step by step. After a while, she disappeared into the vast ruins in the distance.
"Jiang Cheng, this old woman is so mysterious. Who do you think she could be?" Qingtan looked at the direction the old woman was leaving and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng shook his head, "I don't know, let's go, we should enter the city..."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward. At this time, he could vaguely see the bluestone statue standing in front of the dilapidated city gate.
But when Jiang Cheng saw the statue when he walked in, his body suddenly froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Yunxue?!"
Time has left many traces on the bluestone statue. The belt has been completely eroded by the years, and the base has been weathered and eroded. However, these traces of wind and rain cannot affect the appearance of the statue.
The woman looked sad, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she looked at the sky, with a thick cloud of sadness in her expression that could not be dispelled.
On the palm of her outstretched hand, an epiphyllum stood quietly. It was an epiphyllum waiting to bloom.
However, at this moment, Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly twitched when he saw this statue, and he felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.
"system……"
"What's up?"
"Are you sure Yunxue is not the reincarnation of some ancient god?"
Thinking of the story told by the old woman, Jiang Cheng felt inexplicably irritated and couldn't help but confirm the system again in his mind.
"no!"
The system's answer was very straightforward. Jiang Yunxue was not the reincarnation of an ancient god.
"If not, then why do these statues look exactly like Yunxue, and all the clues happen to be related to Yunxue's whereabouts. Could it be that there is such a coincidence..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and thought to himself.
The system didn't reply, and Jiang Cheng didn't care about it. The system wasn't the kind of system that could query the existence of all things with just a thought, let alone some ridiculous detection system.
It is impossible to know everything, as long as you want to know, you can know it.
"This, this looks like that girl..."
Just when Jiang Cheng was feeling irritable because of these things, Qingtan's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Jiang Cheng, she..."
Suddenly, Qingtan turned around and said excitedly to Jiang Cheng.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng naturally knew what she wanted to say, shook his head and said: "It's just a coincidence... By the way, the old woman just said that you are destined to be a goddess, you might as well pay homage to her, she is also a poor person...
"
Jiang Cheng looked at the statue in front of him with the same face as Yun Xue, sighed softly and said.
Hearing this, Qingtan was stunned for a moment, but nodded and walked forward into the statue.
The closer she got to the statue, inexplicably, Qingtan felt that sadness welling up from the bottom of her heart again, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"She, really, is so pitiful. If those people were willing to give her a chance, maybe, maybe everything..."
As he spoke, Qingtan's face was filled with tears again, and she swallowed hard and stretched out her hand to touch the statue.
However, the moment Qingtan's hand came into contact with the statue, something suddenly changed, and where Qingtan's hand came into contact with the statue, a little bit of starlight suddenly surged.
From top to bottom, it slowly flows to the position of the green sandalwood palm, and a burst of light bursts out.
"This is……"
Seeing everything in front of him, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but stare, and was about to step forward and pull Qingtan away. But at this moment, Qingtan's eyes suddenly widened, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Spreading her hands, she saw a small beast with a black and white body and three handfuls of white flame fluff on its forehead. It looked a bit like a dog and a bit like a wolf.
Seeing this little palm-sized beast in front of them, both Jiang Cheng and Qingtan couldn't help but be stunned.
"oh oh……"
I saw that the little beast in my hand had a pair of innocent big eyes open. It raised its head and roared twice, then yawned sleepily. It looked at Jiang Cheng and then at Qingtan, and finally lowered its little head.
He gently rubbed Qingtan's palm.
"so cute……"
Looking at the cute thing in her hand, Qingtan's eyes lit up, her eyes full of love.
Maybe women are naturally attracted to these cute things. At this time, Qingtan was completely focused on teasing the little guy in her hand, and she let out a cheerful laugh from time to time.
However, looking at the various dogs rolling around in Qingtan's hands, let's just call them dogs, Jiang Cheng felt strange in his heart.
If he admitted it correctly, this thing seemed to be very similar to a creature called Erha.
Rumble——
Suddenly, there was a roar, and the statue in front of me shook violently, and then the bluestone statue began to shatter from bottom to top, inch by inch.
When all the stone chips fell off, leaving only the epiphyllum in the goddess's hand, a ray of rays of light burst out from it, and then a humanoid shadow appeared in front of Jiang Cheng and Qingtan.
This is a woman, a woman who looks exactly like Jiang Yunxue...
