Chapter 587: The Glory of the Heart (Part )

"What difference is there between reality and dreams that is worth denying? When the Creator woke up, he gently waved his finger, and an extremely small but heavy point began to explode. The flame first brought the smallest particles, hydrogen and helium began to form, and protons and neutrons began to form everything we can see now with the explosion."

Jieyan showed an intriguing and subtle smile that did not belong to a child, staring at Dark's gray eyes that seemed to cover everything, and said seriously in a voice that was immature but no longer had the soft and sticky feeling of a child:
"For the Creator, this is his dream. Perhaps it is a beautiful dream that uses up all his imagination and tries his best to build a gorgeous universe. Perhaps it is a nightmare of being immersed in the dark sea of ​​the universe, unable to escape but unable to control what he created."

"Many Lost Ones and so-called mystics hold your view, 'Jie Yan'." Dak's expression was calm. He put down the "Mad Bear" pistol, pointed the muzzle at the ground, and said in a calm tone that seemed to transcend the universe:

"They have always insisted that the whole world is a pitiful and terrible dream of the great Creator. When he realizes that he should wake up, the world will not collapse, will not be destroyed, will not be torn apart, and will not be swallowed up. Instead, it will come to an abrupt end as if it had never been created. We will not disappear instantly without any pain and confusion, as if we have never been there.

"But in fact, dreams are nothing more than the result of the continuous reorganization of active and wandering thoughts in the brain during the day. Since you claim to be the 'man-made lost one' created by the 'Nethunting Soul Niche', then you should understand that you have not experienced the entire process of being born as a human being. You do not have complete human emotions and thinking. Naturally, you will fall into the quagmire of unprovable mysticism and cannot extricate yourself."

"So what? I came to this world suddenly, which meets the standards of dreams. In the dream, my cognition has been distorted by a force beyond nature, and I will not wake up except when I die and complete my mission. It is impossible for me to remember my original name and identity in the dream. I can only follow the identity given to me by the 'power' and continue to play the role." "Jie Yan" seemed a little angry. He jumped up suddenly and kicked the federal [warrior] in front of him several times until he spat out a few teeth and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Dak could vaguely guess that the "sacrifice ceremony" related to "Scarlet" that "Jieyan" was carrying out had not been fully completed. This limited world under the terrifying moon was indeed being controlled by "Jieyan". Before figuring out his purpose, Dak could not fight with him.

However, this kind of Lost One with mental illness tendencies, crazy language and behavior... no, artificial Lost One, must be emotionally unstable. As long as Dak can follow his thoughts and anger "Jie Yan", he can get more information.

Thinking of this, Dak smiled slightly and said slowly:
"Is it acting? In the Third Age, those extraordinary people who were surrounded by steam but believed in magic might have been accustomed to this kind of pretending. But in fact, it was just their wishful illusion. You think you are pretending to be gods, evil spirits, and dreams, but to outsiders, you are just dancing like a madman."

“Say it again!” “Jie Yan” really became angry. He raised his head, glared at Dark, and said in a low voice that sounded like the roar of a devil from hell:
"You dare to question the gods, which means you will be punished by the gods. Do you know how wonderful, how wild, and how... exciting power is buried under the land where you and I stand?"

“No matter what power you have, it is not a reason for you to sacrifice these innocent people.” Dak, like a knight protecting the country and its citizens, raised his head slightly and stared with sharp eyes at the faintly visible and strange halo of black and red threads intertwined and swirling on the forehead of “Jie Yan”, and said righteously:

"These adventurers did not come to this dangerous place solely for profit and money. I have inquired about the Outer Nebuya Mountains and made a comprehensive strategy before leaving. I know that since the old empire Charles XII launched a round of intensive "Heavenly Punishment Fire" attacks, rounds of strange extraordinary, evil, dark and dragon-related forces have been stimulated.

"Especially after the 'New Dollar Crisis', the 'Heartless Virus' merged with this group of strange forces to shape this complex and dangerous area. If it weren't for the hard struggles of Nebrius' ancestors, the Nebusk that was rebuilt after the fire would have long become a paradise for the 'Heartless'."

“Actually, you want to tell me that these adventurers and federal soldiers are not greedy people whose minds are blinded by interests, so there is no reason for them to be sacrificed by me, right? Indeed, in the arguments of the Lord and the Supreme Lord, the Lord and the God of Tao, greedy, evil, angry, and despicable people should always be punished, but that is just a fairy tale and a legend.” “Jie Yan” laughed disdainfully, “The purer the soul, the more precious it is. How can the demons and us, the Lost Ones, like these souls that you humans hate?

"In fact, the 'New Dollar Crisis' has wiped out those pitiful people who make a living by despicable behavior. They are only worthy of crying at our feet and then falling into hell. Those who stayed behind, who have experienced the war and are still alive, are all longing for peace in the painful torment. This belief supports their souls to be washed by the flames again and again, thus becoming perfect and spotless. These pure souls and slightly flawed bodies are exactly the nutrients that the 'flame' hopes for. The 'heart-exhausting flame point' needs them."

"What did you say?" Dak didn't expect that he failed to really succeed in angering "Jie Yan", but instead was angered by "Jie Yan".

His right hand couldn't stop shaking. The human identity he upheld made him unable to tolerate the shameless and despicable words of "Jie Yan". He wanted to immediately raise his "Crazy Bear" pistol to shoot, but his innate rationality as a federal officer, the figure of Wolfya that flashed repeatedly in his mind, and the professional characteristics of "Instigator", made him calm down quickly.

Seeing a strong sense of pride on the face of "Jie Yan", he planned to follow up with his question and ask: "What is 'Jie Xin Yan Dian'?"

"You humans really don't care about these extraordinary things. The more you believe in so-called science, the further you are from magic and the truth of the entire universe. However, you are worth saving. I smell the intoxicating scent of the same kind on you. Since you are interested in my ritual, I might as well tell you some truths." "Jie Yan" sat up from the body of the federal [warrior] and kicked him away. Then, he walked to the place where the giant "egg" was just now, pointed his foot at a lightning-shaped crack that was emitting bright light, and explained:
"In fact, Nebrius, whom you have been looking for, is currently trapped by our 'Devotion Group' in a military base deep in the mountains. That base was built hundreds of years ago, and the underground pipelines are interconnected. People from your Federation can deliver weapons and supplies at any time. As long as he wants, he can leave here at any time and return to the safe city."

"You mean, Nebrius is not missing, but took the initiative to go deep into here to fight against your 'Devotion Group'?" Dak broke out in a cold sweat, his lips moved, and after struggling for a long time, a voice came out of his throat and asked:

"Nebrius... He wants to use the [Khitanlia Core] to activate the 'Yaoguang Evolution Platform' himself? Could it be that the Federation has already activated the remaining six 'Evolution Platforms'?"

"Of course! Dak. You are very smart, a top professional, and possess the extraordinary power of the Lost. If you can abandon your absolute human identity and abandon those federal high-ranking officials who will do anything for their own interests and conspiracies, your future will be as bright and glorious as the stars created by the Creator." "Jie Yan" laughed:
"In fact, the fact that the Federation has opened six 'Evolution Platforms' is no secret in our Lost Ones Organization, but old guy Vasily seems to have done a good job of hiding it from humans. Even though the western part of Cruzde was surrounded by us, the Federation Committee did not intend to inform the eastern part of the situation of the 'Evolution Platforms'.

"Since the last core is in Nebrius' hands, and we can't really kill him, snatch the core and destroy it. There is no way to lock the location of the 'Source Statue Pillar' in advance, so why don't we change our thinking?" "Jie Yan" pointed at the increasingly large and expanding crimson moon above his head and half-roared:
"This is where the 'Heart-Exhausting Flame Point' is located. If you start the 'Heart-Exhausting Glory' sacrificial ritual here, and sacrifice hundreds of humans with pure souls and high morale, and actively call out 'Scarlet', you will be able to get the attention of the Creator's clone who is watching over this planet. The perfect soul will satisfy him, and you only need to gently wave your arm, and the 'Heart-Exhausting Flame Point' will be restarted.

"At that time, the 'Heart-Exhausting Ore' buried underground from Lake Custard to the Nebsk Plain will gather endless 'Fire Energy' here. With energy, the 'Net Hunting Spirit Niche' can be summoned again."

"Summoning... 'Net-Hunting Sacred Urn', what can it bring to you?" asked Dark.

"'Andres's Wish'... a wish that can fulfill 'anything' you make, enough to change the future reality!"
