The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 993

Gao Yang was startled and fell into silence.

The evening breeze gently blew through the eyebrows and hair of the two men.

Long Xian smiled: "You can't trust me?"

"No."

Gao Yang wasn't lying.

If Long really had any conspiracy, or in other words, Long was the biggest enemy of the awakened ones, he could have eliminated Gao Yang in the Dominion Domain just now.

"It's just..." Gao Yang answered honestly: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly."

Yes, it went well.

Along the way, Gao Yang has lost too much and experienced too much. Although the current victory is also full of twists and turns and dangers, Gao Yang still feels that it is a bit "smooth".

Now that Qilin is dead and the twelve runes are gathered, the door can be opened immediately.

If Gao Yang's fate is a "script", then the final stage of the script is too "smooth".

Long nodded slightly, "Maybe I can understand this feeling. People who have lost too many times, although they are extremely eager to win, can't believe that they can win."

Gao Yang was silent.

Long's eyes were calm: "Gao Yang, what I told you about opening the door from the beginning to the end actually has two meanings. The first meaning is that I could only trust myself and you at that time."

Gao Yang nodded: "I know."

"The second meaning is that the door to the end can only be opened by you and me. Even if others get the twelve runes, they can't do it, not even Qilin."

Gao Yang was surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was very reasonable.

"So Qilin won't be able to open the door even if he doesn't intend to." Gao Yang became more and more certain of this.

"Yes." Long nodded: "He has other ambitions. I don't know what they are, but they are not important anymore."

"It's not important anymore." Gao Yang repeated coldly, but there was a feeling of sadness in his heart: behind these four words, there were so many wasted lives.

"Gao Yang, I know you still have many doubts, but these are not important anymore." Long raised his chin slightly: "Come on, open the door."

"But, where is the door?" Gao Yang asked.

"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Long smiled faintly.

Gao Yang thought for a few seconds and was suddenly shocked: "Miracle runes?!"

Long smiled and acquiesced.

Gao Yang suddenly realized: No wonder Qilin refused to tell everyone the true location of the Gate of the End. Even the people he trusted only showed them the illusion.

The so-called Gate of Ending is not at a fixed location at all, nor is it a gate in the traditional sense. Its true identity is - a circuit of miraculous runes!
The Miracle Rune is the first of the twelve runes. In addition to having many "privileges", it also has one core and most critical function - connecting to the world outside the mist, like an official channel.

If the miraculous runes are regarded as a door at the entrance of the passage, then the other runes are the keys to the door, and Long and Gao Yang are the designated door openers.

Gao Yang clenched his fists, he should have thought of this earlier.

The reason why Long knows so well is because he is the "Chosen Son" and the Sequence 1 [Master]. He may know this through "dreams", just like Gao Yang knows about the world of "Wall of Black and White" through dreams.

It is also possible that dragons are born knowing this, just like fish are born knowing how to breathe in water.

The dragon seeks the miraculous rune, and the miraculous rune calls to him.

Dragons are born to open doors.

Apart from him, the only person who opened the door was Gao Yang.

The two are connected end to end, but have completely different talents and embark on completely different destinies.

The two of them went to the poker table at different times, holding different chips, and using different methods of play, but they had the same goal and reached the same goal through different paths.

The two of them are Cang Dao's double insurance.

Gao Yang stared at the 12-yuan rune spinning in front of him: "How do I use it?"

Long shook his head: "I don't know either, but I have a feeling that as long as we touch the miraculous rune, it will give us the answer."

Gao Yang asked no more questions. He stretched out his right hand towards the miraculous rune. When his two fingers were about to touch it, he hesitated again.

Gao Yang looked at Long again: "Are you really not going to open the door?"

Long shook his head: "I really want to open the door, but my current state doesn't seem to allow me to do so. I can feel the call of the rune, and I can also feel its rejection."

"Even if you let me hibernate until the end of the world, I may not be sure that I can turn the key, but you don't seem to have this burden. It's strange. Is this [lucky]?"

Gao Yang was silent. He did feel some kind of call from the miraculous runes. As for the feeling of rejection, he didn't feel it at all.

"Is the lie detection over?" Long was a little tired and sat on the floor with a leisurely attitude.

——The target did not lie.

——The attitude is goodwill. ——Emotion: Expectation.

Long took a deep breath and raised his head slightly: "Gao Yang, I have been waiting for this moment all my life. If you can, don't make me wait any longer."

Gao Yang didn't want to wait any longer, but no one knew what would happen after opening the door or what was behind the door.

At this moment, his desire for hope was as strong as his fear of the unknown.

Actually, when you calm down and think about it, Gao Yang still has a lot of things he wants to do before opening the door.

For example, if you get the life rune, you can see if you can help Suzaku upgrade to level 8 and restore brain fibrosis.

Another example is to understand [Ghost of Time and Space] and upgrade it to level 8, and try to go back to the past and rewrite the future.

He still had too many regrets in his heart, too many things he wanted to undo.

But now, the ultimate goal is in front of him, and he can open the door directly.

Will everything automatically get better after opening the door?Or is it just a final conclusion?

Gao Yang couldn't help but think of the first multi-ending RPG game he played as a child. There was no guide at that time. He almost saved every three steps. He was serious to the point of paranoia, trying his best not to miss any side plots, not to miss any treasure chests, and to explore every hidden map. The character has been trained to the highest level, but when he is about to face the BOSS battle, he is still afraid.

He was not afraid that he would not be able to defeat the BOSS. On the contrary, he was afraid that after defeating the BOSS, the story would not have the perfect ending, but he could no longer look back.

Time passed by minute by minute.

I don't know how much time passed, but Gao Yang suddenly felt his eyes light up. The miraculous rune among the twelve runes emitted a dazzling sacred light, calling Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was in a daze. He stretched out his hand again and touched it.

"Ding--"

In an instant, countless sacred wills turned into concrete information and concepts, and entered Gao Yang's head.

The last time I felt like this was the second Gao Yang saw Cur Yuan.

At this moment, Gao Yang became more and more certain that he was the one to open the door. Like a dragon, he was born to open doors, just for this moment.

No matter what is waiting for him behind the door, no matter how many "side plots" he has not completed, how many "treasure boxes" he has not obtained, and how many "hidden maps" he has not explored, it doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is to open the door.

Gao Yang looked firmly and grasped the miraculous rune.

"U-"

Abundant energy exploded from the palm of his hand, and ripples of sacred golden energy quickly swayed out. They spread at different angles, like an extremely complex giant gyroscope.

Then, the energy in Gao Yang's body was awakened and unconditionally injected into the miraculous runes. The energy paths in his body also began to connect with the rune circuits.

In the majestic entanglement and intersection of sacred energy, Gao Yang could hardly distinguish the boundary between "self" and "rune".

"U-"

I don't know how much time had passed, but the energy ripples that had been washed out in circles were retracted in an instant and concentrated in the palm of Gao Yang's hand.

Gao Yang felt a burning sensation.

At some point, the miraculous runes disappeared and were replaced by the totem on the back of his right hand, a golden six-pointed star.

Gao Yang squeezed hard, as if grabbing a door handle that didn't exist.

"Shhhhh-"

The remaining 11 yuan rune circuits suddenly spread out and revolved around Gao Yang at high speed. Soon, they turned into eleven streamers of different colors and spread out.

"Srustling—"

These eleven streams of light were extremely fast, dragging long trails and swimming in the mid-air in front of Gao Yang.

They are like eleven paintbrushes, using high-speed movement to outline a giant door and the details on the door.

Soon, a familiar relief appeared.

The ignorant and crazy beasts that sink in joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, the violent and angry beasts that want to destroy everything, the greedy beasts that want to possess everything, the indifferent and numb beasts that stand aside and watch, embrace all kindness with their arms A living beast, a dead beast with only bones left that seems to be holding up everything but seems to be trying to pierce everything...

The Gate of Ending seen in Qilin's vision appears again.

The difference is that they are not entities made by Wujin, but eleven streams of light traveling at high speed and quietly on a fixed trajectory, thus outlining a door that is both real and illusory.

Sitting on the ground, Long's black hair spread out at some point and flew behind him.

The corners of his slightly raised mouth overflowed with blood again, his pale face was dotted with streams of light, his eyes were beautiful and dazzling, and full of a sense of brokenness.

His voice was clear, even with a hint of innocence that only a child can have: "What will be behind the door?"

Gao Yang did not answer and could not answer.

He took a step forward, raised his right hand branded with the miracle totem, and placed it on the Door of the End.
