In the strange realm formed by the magical tools and the demonic pyramid.
Elena stared at her ghost, and she thought of Lei.
Thinking of the aircraft submerged in the yellow sand, the cheerful voice sounded in her ears again.
"Look!"
"It's light."
Maybe it's not just light.
It is also hope and Lei’s expectation for the future.
But now, she can't see anything worth looking forward to, let alone feel the existence of light.
She turned her head.
He looked at the overturned boxes and items scattered on the floor under the stairs of the temple.
besides.
Under the clothes full of pockets, there were rusty iron skeletons covered.
She stretched out her hand and touched her ghost.
"Show me!"
"See what it feels like to be a ghost..."
Elena, wearing a priest's robe, touched the ghost of a knight in armor.
Elena felt like she had escaped into another world for a moment.
There is nothing there, chaos, confusion, and darkness.
You don’t know who you are, you don’t know where you come from, you just instinctively follow the past and wander around.
It's like you are locked in a crowded house, and occasionally the light shines in,
You finally remembered something.
You remember who you are, your deepest obsessions, and your most profound pain.
You may suddenly shout: "This is not my home, why am I here? I want to go back quickly."
Maybe someone will say: "Stop it! Don't play with my life and let me die as a clover."
Or another sentence: "Are you back? I have been waiting for you to come home and want to talk to you."
But after a while, you forget everything again.
Back into the long darkness again.
This is because ghosts have been stripped of their spirituality, wisdom, and a large amount of desire, personality, and memory knowledge. They are mainly composed of partial memories and emotions.
Occasionally, their personality emotions will surge up, causing them to recall the past again.
But this doesn't make people feel much better.
The most desperate thing is not to push you into eternal darkness, but when pushing you into darkness, it also opens a window in a place that is out of your reach.
Perhaps the spirit bodies around the demigods can break this wall with the help of the demigod's kingdom, allowing the spirit bodies to gradually become more complete. At least they can come out of the darkness when they want to.
But the people of the Demon Abyss do not have their own demigods.
They can only repeat this feeling day after day, repeating the long period of dark imprisonment, and the occasional reappearance of memories.
Elena could only realize the misery of the ghost for a moment.
fortunately.
This feeling didn't last long.
Perhaps it was because the ghost in front of her was born very briefly, but in this short period of time, Elena knew what kind of ghost it was.
Next, memories of the past emerged.
A memory that truly belongs to Elena.
Two hundred and fifty million years ago.
The age of God’s abandonment.
Although the Kingdom of Xiinsai was in decline at this time, Vivien, the third generation sage of truth, was still there.
The older Demonic Abyss Golden Helmet Knight Elena has gradually begun to enter the second half of her life. The apostle has a lifespan of a thousand years, which is an unimaginable length in the eyes of mortals.
But in front of civilization and this land, it is still short-lived.
On an island near the Bottomless Demonic Abyss.
The Magic Gold Ritual Workshop and various other miraculous ritual workshops on the island have basically been closed. The island that was once prosperous is only a ruined scene after the prosperity has faded.
A woman stood in front of the door of a tall workshop, looking at the dilapidated island.
She holds a compass in her hand.
The compass rotates in a disorderly manner with no target at all.
Just like the hearts of women today.
Elena obtained the divine form of God from Vivien, and she could freely change her form a long time ago; when she was in the depths of the sea, she would use the appearance of the people of the Demon Abyss, and when she was on land and islands,
She just uses her god form, which is more convenient.
Although she has entered the second half of her life, the signs of aging have not yet appeared on her body.
There is no war now, there is no war between the Three Leaves and the people of the Demonic Abyss, there is no war against the Evil God and the Evil God's priests.
The knights in the golden helmet of the Demon Abyss also took off their armor and spent most of their time in their ritual workshops, or teaching the young people among the people of the Demon Abyss.
Without the miraculous power of the ritual communication fairies, Elena can still produce magic gold with her own strength, and this has become one of the few workshops that the people of the Demon Abyss can still operate.
But these workshops cannot solve the problem.
The magic gold produced and a small amount of products of extraordinary power cannot change this barren and desolate world, or this era where intelligent species should not exist.
Elena looked at the compass in her hand.
After the goblins left, this may be one of the few creations that shines with the light of miracles.
"God has left."
"The Three-leaf people are carrying out their plans. Vivien has obtained Stun's Ruhe brand. She is preparing to use the power of life power to continue the blood and future of the Three-leaf people."
"What else can we do?"
"Do we have a future?"
Elena has recently heard about some of the preparations of the Trefoil people, which makes her worry about the future of the people of the Demon Abyss.
The Sanye people have to start preparing for such a retreat, so what should the people of the Demonic Abyss do, who are even weaker than the Sanye people?
Behind Elena, there were several young people in the workshop.
One of them is named Lei.
Ray is playing with something strange.
The second generation of the Sage of Truth created the Wings of Wind Control, and also created something like the Winged Demon through it.
He really wanted to modify it and create a tool that would allow ordinary people to fly.
He wanted to see distant places, places where neither the people of the Demon Abyss nor the Three Leaf People had been.
Go and have a look there.
Is there a new paradise?
In such an era, Lei is an anomaly.
Because most people are pessimistic and despairing, he always has hope.
Lei made another breakthrough in the manufacture of aircraft. He wanted to ask his teacher Elena for advice, but he happened to see Elena say these words.
He has never seen such an expression on Teacher Elena's face.
Elena saw Lei walking behind her: "Lei, what's the matter?"
Lei: "Ms. Elena, I think as long as you do it, hope will definitely exist."
Elena looked at this energetic young man, her somewhat depressed expression finally relaxed.
She didn't say anything, just walked away alone.
The next time Lei saw her, it was several years later.
Elena searched through various secret techniques, various related records, myths, and legends, and finally found a method that was most likely to be passed down by the people of the Demon Abyss.
She felt that she could use this method to build a ship that could travel across time to the next era.
If there is still hope for this era, let the people of the Demonic Abyss explore it.
If this era has no future, at least her method can leave a legacy for the people of the Demon Abyss.
Elena summoned her students, as well as the king, queen, and many priests of the Kingdom of Demonic Abyss.
"I discovered that there is a strange phenomenon in the monsters. After the previous generation of monsters dies, there is a chance that the consciousness of the next generation of monsters will be born in the remains left behind."
"If we transform into monsters, we can have a long lifespan; if we create another item that can rekindle the light of our consciousness in our bodies after death, can we continue to exist across time?"
"Can we survive this era of god abandonment and survive this long night?"
Elena described the magical props in her imagination.
"It can be a ship, a ship that carries us to the next era."
"It can also be a pyramid, because that will be our eternal paradise."
Someone raised the question: "Are we still us in the new life?"
Elena said: "I have figured out a way to continue the inheritance of will."
Elena took out something.
Those are the fragments of the bottle of original sin.
The original sin bottle was originally the flask used by the fire demon Haru to create the fire demon.
Later, Anhofors used it to create the mythical life in the bottle, which eventually fell apart due to the death of the little person in the bottle.
"The magical props we create will contain the ghosts transformed from our memories, and our divine blood will create extraordinary bodies in human form; the ghost bodies transformed from memories will be the source of our will, igniting our
The candle of the light of consciousness.”
"Although they are no longer the us we once were, but a brand new us, they will still remember those indelible things."
"Because the most important part of them, their past memories and spirits, are still in this world, and they are destined to be affected by the past."
"They will have the extraordinary bodies of monsters and the immortal spirits of ghosts."
"Even the long years cannot kill them."
When the plan was first proposed, everyone thought it was perfect.
Everyone present felt the same way.
Elena said to everyone: "Three-leaf people chose the inheritance of blood, then we will choose the inheritance of will."
"The Trileaf people retain their bloodline and want to rely on Vivien's immortal power to re-establish their civilization and race in the next era, so we will create a ship that can travel to the next era, an eternal paradise that belongs to us.
"
Elena once hated Haru so much.
In the end, he chose the same path as Haru.
Elena was the enemy of the evil god for the first half of her life, and fought and fought with the high priest under the evil god again and again, but in the end she used the power of the evil god.
visible.
The arrival of the era of god abandonment gave Elena unparalleled despair and pressure.
In the face of the continuation of race and civilization, she no longer cares about many things.
But she might not have thought of it at the time.
In the end, the Sanye people did not continue the bloodline they wanted.
And they have not completed the inheritance of will she wanted.
The plan started.
The final shape decided was that of a demonic pyramid, not a ship.
Maybe it's because.
Compared to ships, pyramids are more in line with the people of the Demon Abyss and the Trileaf people's imagination of a paradise.
The people of the Demon Abyss built an inverted pyramid in the royal city. They planned to create an unparalleled powerful prop, gather the power of the entire Demon Abyss country, and create a domain that could accommodate a large number of "immortal" demon spirits.
As the plan progressed, all priest groups joined in, and the steps were perfected step by step.
but.
Elena, who proposed this plan, backed down.
She calculated what it would cost to build this inverted pyramid, which, apart from the lack of four-point secret skills, had a divine blood content that was close to that of a mythical item.
and.
As she gradually understood the power of the original sin bottle, and after understanding the ghost, she also understood more and more what kind of existence the ghost was.
Look at the amount of divine blood required for that item.
She suddenly woke up from the fear of the advent of the age of god abandonment and the departure of the gods.
this day.
Elena suddenly asked everyone to stop building the inverted pyramid and entered the pyramid alone.
One day later, she asked her student Lei to come see her.
In the age of god abandonment, the second-level priests are already at their peak.
And Lei is currently the leader of the second-level priests, and may also become an important core figure in the Kingdom of Demonic Abyss in the future.
Lei entered the temple, and his teacher Elena was standing under the left wall of the temple.
"Ms. Elena."
"I am coming."
Elena looked at the student who had given her hope, and said to him.
"you are right."
"As long as you do it, there is definitely hope."
Immediately afterwards, Elena showed a somewhat helpless expression.
"But the price of some hopes is too cruel."
The two people were walking under the inverted pyramid, which was still just a frame, and inside the Temple of Insai, which only had the main hall.
"To build such a paradise, generations of people of the Demonic Abyss need to be watered with their blood to cast such powerful props."
"And those who have become ghosts will always be imprisoned in the darkness."
"does it worth?"
"For the sake of the future, let the current people of the Demonic Abyss endure such pain."
Elena stopped in front of the wall. On the wall was the composition of the Demonic Pyramid.
Elena looked at the number she calculated.
It seemed that the whole person was frightened by this huge number, even though it was the first time she saw this number.
Each of these numbers is a citizen of the Demonic Abyss.
"We don't even have the present, but we are asking for a future that we don't even know exists."
All her life, Elena used the sword to protect her country and race.
This plan will completely overthrow what she once pursued.
"I can sacrifice myself in pursuit of the future."
"Let a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand people follow me to death."
"But let everyone."
"Let generation after generation pay the price."
"I can not do it."
"Even if you really do it."
"It is not a ship to the next era, it is just a tomb to bury us."
Elena looked at Lei and shook her head.
"I want us to have a future, but I also want to protect the people of the present."
"At least give them some chance."
"Maybe there will be some talented people among them who can find their own way out in this barbaric era and this barren world."
Elena looked at her student, young Lei.
The other party is so young, and she is about to reach the end of her life.
"so."
"End it!"
"If everything should pass away like this, let it die like this, just like me."
"If it should not perish, fate will naturally give us a future."
The plan was stopped.
In the days that followed, Elena never left the inverted pyramid that had been suspended.
Years later.
When Lei saw her again, it was the last time.
She obviously hasn't reached the end of her life yet, but it's like the oil has run out.
There is nothing to protect, no future to see, and no hope to pursue.
She is no longer a knight.
And the gods have left this world, and her apostle seems to have become meaningless.
Elena turned her back to Ray and faced out of the window.
She put on armor and held the sword of Luch in her hand.
She raised her head as if she wanted to see something from outside, but finally sighed and lowered her head.
She knelt on the ground and inserted the Luch sword at her waist into the gap between the bricks in a knight's posture.
at last.
She still wanted to die as a knight, in the hall of the gods.
"Take my divine grace stone and leave here."
Valley
"My body, let it stay here."
"And my divine grace belongs to the devil and to the gods."
She lowered her head and hit the hilt of the sword.
The compass hanging around his neck also dropped.
Closed his eyes.
The former Elena knelt in the temple and came to an end.
And her divine grace stone was taken to the bottomless abyss by thunder.
Legend has it that on the other side of the Demonic Abyss is the God-given Paradise.
Both the Sanye people and the people of the Demonic Abyss came from there.
The people of Sanye face the Holy Mountain when they die, and the people of the Demon Abyss sink into the Demon Abyss when they die.
Since ancient times.
All are like this.
------------------
In a strange realm.
Elena let go of her hand touching the pillar, and the ghost seemed to wake up from the confusion and looked at Elena in surprise.
In an instant, a fierce pressure burst out from the ghost's eyes, as if a hurricane had swept through the temple.
"You shouldn't be here."
"No!"
"You shouldn't exist."
But in an instant, she returned to confusion again.
She looked at everything around her at a loss, wandering around the pillars.
Apostle Elena also looked at Ghost Elena in surprise: "Give up?"
"I gave up!"
"I didn't create it!"
"Why did all this happen? Why do demon spirits still appear?"
Elena left this strange realm. She wanted to examine the main body of the real Demonic Spirit Pyramid again to learn how it was born.
Then, she will choose what to do.
At this moment, Elena suddenly understood why she wanted to come back.
"I come back."
"Perhaps it is to end this tragic fate, this darkness with no hope."
She hurried back to the main hall of the Insai Temple and saw another person appearing in the temple.
The Demon King is already in the temple.
Elena felt that he seemed to be waiting for her.
When Elena saw the king again, her eyes were completely different.
Although she hasn't yet learned how the Demon Spirit Pyramid was successfully built, she has roughly guessed that it has something to do with the Demon Spirit King.
She looked at the demon king who was praying to God, walked out from the side passage, and said as she walked.
"Devil."
"This name is so realistic."
"We are not the people of the Demon Abyss."
"even."
"I am not Elena, and you are no longer the king of the Demonic Abyss."
"We have all become demons, half of them are monsters without flesh and blood, and the other half are ghosts who will fall into darkness forever."
The Demon King stood up, and the metal doll turned to look at Elena.
Just know that she has learned everything.
"Have you seen the ghost in the spiritual realm?"
The spiritual realm seems to be the name of that strange place.
Elena stared at the Demon King, looking at its jewel-encrusted eyes, and suddenly understood something: "It seems that you have seen it too?"
The Demon King spoke very slowly, not in a hurry, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Every time I wake up, I go there."
"In fact, every demon spirit will unconsciously rush to the spiritual realm when it revives."
"But I stopped others from going to the spiritual realm.'
"Because ghosts have existed for so long, they have endured too many things, and you will go crazy if you come into contact with them."
"but."
"In this city, there should be someone who knows the past and knows how to run this city and this demonic pyramid."
"Isn't it?"
When Elena heard this, her lips couldn't help but open slightly.
The hand holding the sword relaxed slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts.
She couldn't understand, couldn't understand why the Demon King did this.
This is tantamount to saying that he has endured the endless darkness that the ghost once experienced, and will repeat it again every time he is revived.
I paid such a high price just to huddle in this dark place and become a doll that can never get out.
What he gained was not eternal life, it was just letting the consciousness born in the next body experience pain again.
She really can't understand it.
Elena: "Did you build this kingdom of demons? Did you build this pyramid of demons?"
"Did you imprison your compatriots and yourself in darkness forever?"
Elena has seen all kinds of crazy people, all kinds of crazy believers of the Little Man in the Bottle.
Even if they are crazy like the man in the bottle, their madness is understandable.
The madness of the demon king in front of her was something she couldn't understand.
The Demon King told her: "That's right!"
"yes!"
"I gave the order to rebuild it, but it was the people of the Demon Abyss who sacrificed everything from generation to generation to build this Demon Spirit Pyramid."
"Under this pyramid, countless people of the Demonic Abyss are buried, as well as our civilization."
The Demon King's voice suddenly fluctuated at this time: "This is the paradise they built for us with their flesh and blood."
Elena looked at the inverted pyramid, as if she wanted to truly see the essence of the city and the original appearance of the pyramid.
I saw that generations of people from the Demon Abyss fought for this pyramid.
In the name of the continuation and inheritance of civilization.
The Demon King's words interrupted Elena's exploration.
"You can no longer see it now, it has all disappeared."
"It's too long."
"Without the power of the gods, without the power of Ruhe, nothing can be left."
"It is impossible for common things in the mortal world to transcend time."
When Elena looked at this city again, she no longer had the feeling of a paradise on earth that she had before.
What she saw.
The ground is paved with the skeletons of countless people from the Demonic Abyss. A group of dolls with no future are wandering in the city built of skeletons, with confusion in their eyes.
In the sky, their ghosts stared at them in despair.
Anger welled up in Elena's eyes: "I clearly said that it's time to give up."
"It's time to end."
"Why do you continue?"
The Demon King looked at Elena: "Lord Elena."
"Do you want to ruin it?"
"Generation after generation of people from the Demon Abyss have devoted all their efforts to build this city, destroying the last traces of our civilization."
Elena stood in front of the statue and told the demon king.
"If it was a mistake from the beginning, maybe it's time to end."
"If there was no future from the beginning, maybe it shouldn't have started."
"I'm late."
"Maybe I should have ended this long ago."
Elena looked at the Demon King: "Your ghost has been wandering for countless years. Every time you see his memory, can't you feel your own pain and despair?"
"This is not some promised land."
Elena's voice was extremely sharp, and she spoke every last word.
"This is purgatory."
The Demon King seemed to have been told something by Elena, and he stood there not knowing what to say.
His tone, which always seemed like everything had nothing to do with him, turned sad and helpless after a long sigh.
"I know."
"I see."
"I just can't let her go!"
"I am also a little tired, but no matter how tired I am, I can't bear to leave her behind."
The metal doll turned its back and no longer looked at Elena.
He faced the statue of God Insai with a pious attitude, knelt at the feet of the god, and rested his head on the stone platform of the god's throne.
"God!"
"Insai, the Supreme Lord of Creation!"
He seems to be seeking God's salvation, or using faith and gods to fill the irreparable hole and pain in his heart.
Elena did not go to see the Demon King again.
She walked towards the outside.
Powerful power and chilling aura erupted from her body, and the extraordinary aura rushed to the sky.
The Demon King felt the coldness on Elena's body, but did not react at all.
He didn't even stop her.
He closed his eyes and spoke softly in a voice that he couldn't even hear.
"Maybe this is okay, let's go into eternal sleep together."
"eternal life."
"That's the god's property."
"It has nothing to do with us mortals, and it's not something we can bear.
--------------------------
But at this time, another figure walked in in front of the temple gate.
It was a doll wearing armor, holding a silver helmet in his hand.
She came slowly.
The crystal lantern outside shone on her, and her light and shadow rotated along the floor of the hall, mysterious and elegant.
"king!"
"I want you to stop her, not be persuaded by her."
But when she saw the Demon King standing under the altar, chanting the Laidliki Oath in despair and sadness, her voice became softer again.
Here comes the Demon Queen.
"king!"
"It looks like you are a little tired."
"Just rest and pray to the gods quietly!"
"I will solve all this, I will protect our kingdom and home."
As she walked in, she put on the silver visor on her hand.
The Queen of Demon Spirits drew out the long sword from her waist, and the metal doll wearing armor swung the sword in a very standard manner, pointing the sword's edge towards the ground.
"Lady Elena!"
"It's not him who wants to build this demon pyramid."
"it's me!"
"I must build this demonic pyramid."
Elena noticed that the other party's body erupted with power that did not belong to her, and extraordinary light that did not belong to her.
She is the one who controls this Demon Spirit Pyramid, is the real controller of the entire Demon Spirit Kingdom, and controls the recovery of all Demon Spirits.
She is borrowing the power here, power that does not belong to her.
Elena's priestly robe held the hilt of the sword tightly with her lower hand. The sword had not yet been unsheathed, but her strong will to fight was fully reflected.
Even more compelling than the Demon Queen who has already drawn her sword.
The Queen of Demon Spirits looked at Elena and did not give in at all.
"Lady Elena!"
"You should not come back. You chose eternal sleep and left us."
"You shouldn't disturb our peace."
"You are our Lady Elena, you are the apostle of God, and you are the Knight of the Golden Helmet."
"In our eyes, you are God's spokesperson on earth."
"but!"
"Even if I face God directly, I still want to tell him."
"I want the Kingdom of Demon Abyss to exist forever."
Elena asked her: "Is this what you call peace?"
Demon Queen: "I love this city, I love everything here, and I love the people here."
"I value them and everything I have."
"anyway."
"I can't just sit back and watch it die."
Elena: "Even if you pay such a heavy price, even if what you seek in the end is to sink into endless darkness?"
"Do you know what it feels like to have those ghosts lingering in the darkness again and again?"
The Queen of Demon Spirits said softly: "Of course I know."
The Demon Queen's silver-faced gaze pierced Elena and told her a shocking thing.
"I know everything, I know why I chose this way in the first place, and I also know everything about you."
"Because I grew up beside you."
"Lady Elena, my last name is"
"Sarah!"
Elena was silent for a while, and finally she asked the Demon Queen.
"Even if you have been living in this darkness, even if you let your ghost live in the eternal darkness, even if all this is just an extremely false dream of a paradise."
The Demon Queen stepped forward, getting closer to Elena.
"even so."
Demon Queen: "Even!"
"This choice is wrong."
"Even if I let it exist for a moment longer, I am willing to give everything."
"Lady Elena!"
"If you want to destroy all of this, you must destroy me first."
As the Demon Queen advances, power overflows in all directions.
The surrounding scene changes little by little, and the whole world seems to be turned upside down.
That strange place called the Spiritual Realm covers this place.
The Demon King didn't seem to have the confidence or will to win when facing Elena, the Golden Helmet Knight of the Demon Abyss, so she chose to take action first.
Her steps became faster and faster, and finally her body turned into a phantom.
Violent red firelight was released from the long sword in her hand, turning into a fire dragon and penetrating towards Elena.
Elena tilted her head slightly, but at this critical moment, her eyes became a little hazy.
He seemed to be sizing up the opponent's strength and swordsmanship, as well as the skills of his juniors.
The moment the other person touches you.
Only then did she draw her sword.
A ray of light soared into the sky, covering his eyes in white, and the entire spiritual realm seemed to be shaking.
The two are so similar.
The same posture for holding the sword, and even the same fighting posture.
