From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 585 Art
The golden fingers "Banlan" and "Bilan" both originate from the authority of the two outer gods. The former can trace the origin of all things and reverse cause and effect, while the latter can make everything eternal and imprint it unchanged.

'They are indeed in conflict with each other.'

Gillan pondered Mr. Clark's words.

'So, the two outer gods, "Dian Meng" and "Zhong Ke", are very similar to the original creator gods of this world, "Fei Mo" and "Eternal Sun" - they have conflicting powers, like old enemies.'

'No wonder Mr. Clark and I are enemies in the myriad secret histories, fighting each other for the position of February Hour until one of us dies.'

'Because fundamentally, Mr. Clark and I are chess pieces placed in this world by the Outer Gods "Dream" and "End Moment" respectively.'

At this moment, Clark's voice sounded in Gillan's mind again, accompanied by a rustling noise:
"I guess the meeting between 'Moth' and 'Eternal Sun' was not accidental. There is some kind of invisible connection between the two, attracting each other... Just like the Outer Gods 'Mad Dream' and 'End Moment' that control you and me, they were attracted by Mahab's supreme law and lingered outside the world, never leaving."

"After the collision and destruction of 'Moth' and 'Eternal Sun', the new world was formed, probably due to a key factor, which is 'love'."

"'Love' caused the destruction of the two Outer Gods, but also caused their powers to merge, eventually giving birth to a new world."

"This is something unique to the Outer God 'Moth'. It is also because of him that 'love' exists in this world. This is one of his legacies."

Clark's tone became serious.

After a short pause, he continued:
"Jilan, I think that if we want to escape the fate of being pawns in the myriad secret histories, it is not enough to just seize the Supreme Law... After all, they are Outer Gods, beings 'above the Law'."

"You must summon the Leap Moon, ascend to the Leap Moon, and then use love as the key to fully master the Supreme Law, so that you can counter the influence of the Mad Dream on you..."

"The Supreme Law is the product of the fusion of the power of 'Moth' and 'Eternal Sun'. Its status is enough to compete with 'Mad Dream' and 'End Moment'."

After hearing this, Jilan understood something.

It was at this moment that the scenes of the surrounding universe began to fade away, and his consciousness sank and returned.

Clark's voice gradually became distant:

"My message ends here. Finally, I have left you a gift."

hum-

Gillan sat in a high-back chair and suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand.

A light interwoven with black and white suddenly bloomed from the palm of his hand.

"It's the power of 'Bilan'..."

Jilan felt something and was shocked.

The light in his palm quickly shrank inward and turned into a black and white ball of light.

This power is obviously stronger than the previous "Bilan"...it seems to have been supplemented in some way and has become much more complete.

Gillan then received the message.

The core ability of "Bilan" was left on a high-back chair by "director" Mr. Clark along with a message. After Gillan sat on it, he successfully received this "legacy".

"It's the ability of "imprinting"! "

Gillan was shocked.

'It has the same powerful power as the "Corruption" of "Colorful", but the effect is exactly the opposite. It can imprint and preserve everything, blur concepts, and remain unchanged forever.'

But soon, he discovered something was wrong.

Its own "colorfulness" seemed to feel threatened and became extremely restless.

Buzz! !

The palm of his other hand emitted colorful light uncontrollably, and colorful "tentacles" spread out, baring their fangs and claws, trying to wrap around the black and white light ball and corrupt it and devour it.

The black and white light ball had a bad temper and could not accept such provocation. Immediately, the two of them entangled with each other, causing terrifying energy fluctuations between Jilan's hands.

A loud, dull rumbling sound was heard.

Cross and David, who were not far away, were shocked.

The two apostles could not see the manifestation of "Banlan" and "Bilan" at all, and could only vaguely sense the unstable and powerful energy emanating from Mr. Jilan.

The intensity of this energy far exceeds that of the apostles.

"What's wrong, Mr. Gillan?"

Ms. Cross asked quickly.

David on the side frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I don't know." He pulled Cross back. "We'd better not intervene rashly. Not only will we be unable to help, but we will also hinder Him."

"Yeah." Cross nodded seriously.

Under the gaze of the two, Jilan's expression was complicated.

The energy fluctuations between his hands gradually subsided.

Jilan firmly controls "Banlan" and "Bilan", separating them temporarily to avoid conflict.

'Perhaps because the previous "Bilan" was too damaged to attract the attention of "Banlan", but the situation is different now.'

he thought to himself.

Although the conflict between the two forces was temporarily calmed, Jilan still felt that the situation was not good. It seemed that there was a turbulent undercurrent brewing in his body, which could erupt into a storm at any time.

"Sure enough, the two are born incompatible. Because of their contradictory natures, they are destined to be unable to accommodate each other... and my body, like a container, is very strained to accept the power of two foreign gods at the same time."

Gillan sighed secretly.

The original surprise has now turned into worry.

Because he found that after "Bilan" was completed, the power of the two golden fingers was still competing with each other and constantly consuming each other, so that the effects of both were not as good as before.

In other words, although Jilan now possesses the power of "Corruption Devouring" and "Imprinting Eternity", he cannot exert their due effects, and requires more mysterious energy to drive them.

'It stands to reason that no Gillan or Clarke can possess both "Ban Lan" and "Bi Lan" at the same time. I guess the "director" didn't expect this.'

Gillan frowned.

'Perhaps, among all the secret histories, I am the only one who has done this... So in this case, there is no specific case to learn from, and I need to find a solution on my own.'

He took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.

Seeing this, Cross and David walked over quickly.

"Mr. Gillan, are you okay?"

The lady asked.

"It's okay. It's just that Mr. Clark left behind some power, which I inherited."

Gillan shook his head.

"let's go."

Cross and David looked at each other and nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.

The three of them continued on their way.

Walking along the right aisle, we soon entered Screening Room No. 2.

There was no one here. In the huge and spacious hall, single sofas were neatly arranged, facing a large screen.

Bang bang.

David walked to the side of the hall and pressed the control switch to turn on all the lights on the top of the screening room.

Suddenly, the dim environment became bright.

"In the past, every time a new film of Mr. Xu was released, the seats here were packed."

Cross looked around and whispered.

“It’s so lonely now.”

Gillan could tell that the lady sounded quite lonely.

At this time, David came over.

After a brief silence, He said to Gilan:

"Mr. Gillan, thank you again for helping us regain our home and allowing us to return here."

As He spoke, He took out two small-sized "photos." To be more precise, they were two films cut from a roll of film.

Two figures could be vaguely seen above. David held two films in his palms, which slowly floated, and the figures on them actually moved on their own.

'It's Ms. Hera and Mr. A!'

Ji Lan was a little surprised.

The figures on the film looked around the scene in the screening room, all in silence.

After a while, Hera spoke in a trembling voice:
"I didn't expect to see 'Dream Cinema' again. I'm really happy."

"Thank you, Mr. Gillan."

Mr. A's voice came from one of the films.

"David has already told Hera and me what happened. You are a gentleman with good manners and a sense of loyalty."

"You're welcome." Gillan said with a smile. "Mr. Clark has helped me all the way. Now that I have the strength, I should do something for Him."

At this time, David and Cross looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

He said to Gillan:
"Mr. Gillan, we have something to tell you."

"Go ahead." Gillan nodded.

"At the beginning, the three art masters teamed up to assassinate Mr. Clark, and we were not there... Perhaps, even if we were there, we would be powerless to change the outcome, but this has become the thing we feel most guilty about and regret most."

David said in a deep voice.

He bowed his head sadly and said:

"Now, we have completed Mr. Clark's request. You know the truth about the film and have become powerful... Our mission is finally over."

"So, we decided to use our last bit of strength to make up for our shortcomings, that is, to take revenge on the Three Arts Sichen."

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing this, Jilan frowned.

David, Cross, and the apostles in the two films smiled at each other.

"We're not crazy, Mr. Gillan."

David laughed.

"Apostles are servants of God who follow and serve Si Chen. We are all students chosen and carefully cultivated by Mr. Clark... You may not understand our feelings for you, but please help us."

"Apostles have a nearly endless lifespan, but compared to the happy times we once had, all we have left is pain and self-blame... Such eternal life is meaningless."

"After Mr. Wang passed away, we never created a new film, because a work that has lost its soul and core is nothing more than a cheap copy of memories."

David said in a calm tone.

"Apostles and Si Chen are like knights and kings in the past. They rise and fall together... We should have perished with the master long ago, but we have survived until now because of his entrustment."

“Now, it’s time for us to do our duty.”

“Maybe we will die and never come back, but it doesn’t matter, because the teacher once taught us that the essence of the eighth art lies in the interweaving of light and shadow, time and space, which is the concentration of memories, the resonance of emotions, and the expression of art.”

"We are not only the creators of the film, but also the interpreters of art. It is time for us to give the film, called 'Love and Death', its final sublimation."

David leaned on his cane and saluted Gillan.

Kloss, who was standing beside her, also lifted her skirt and bent her knees.

The apostles in the two films also saluted Gilan.

"I hope Mr. Clark can see that we will shoot a work that we are most proud of for him."

David laughed.

Jilan stood there, stunned and speechless.

At this moment, it seems as if the art has been completed.

Perhaps the three gods, symbolizing the seven arts, killed the "director", blocked the film, and erased innovation.

But these four apostles will use their own beliefs to tell them and also tell Gillan that the eighth art is not simply filming and recording, but inheritance and revelation.

"Love and Death..."

Gillan murmured.

He looked at the four apostles in front of him, his eyes flashing with respect and admiration.

"I won't stop you from seeking revenge on the Art Three Sichen, but I have a suggestion."

Hearing this, the four apostles looked at each other.

"Please speak, Mr. Gillan," said David.

"Please wait a moment."

Gillan said softly.

"The Three Artistic Sichen are also my enemies. I will fight them to the death. When the time comes, please follow me."

David and others fell silent.

Of course they know this.

Jilan said in a deep voice:

"Instead of dying, it's better to fight for a chance of victory. I'm not sure I can fight Si Chen yet, but that doesn't mean I'll never be able to defeat him... That day won't be too late, please believe me."

"If we can tear them off the altar and throw them into the mire, it will be more satisfying than committing suicide. Otherwise, how can it be called revenge?"

David and others were persuaded by Gillan.

Gillan's progress is indeed obvious to all, not to mention that he is the only one designated by Mr. Clark to assist him.

Assisting him will increase your chances of success.

"Okay." David said after a moment of silence. "As you said, we have waited for so many years, so we don't need to waste a little time... When Mr. Gillan plans to take action, please let us know."

"of course."

Jilan said solemnly.

He also didn't want to see the followers of these four "directors" die in vain.

"That's right." Gilan suddenly laughed. "Just now, I got some of His power from Mr. Clark's chair. Maybe I can try to erase the Art Three Hours mark on the 'Black and White Door' and restore the door to its previous appearance."

"Hmm?" Cross was surprised, then her face showed joy. "Is it really possible?"

"Just give it a try."

Gillan chuckled.

He gestured, signaling everyone to follow him.

Immediately, Gilan led them out of the screening room, walked out of the door of the "Dream Cinema", and returned to the previous black stone arch.

Standing at the door, Jilan looked up.

A black and white vortex appeared in his left eye, and the shadow of the "Black and White Gate" faintly emerged in it.

Colorful spots of light emerged from the right eye, reflecting the three Sichen marks on the door.

'Colorful, corrupt.'

Jilan muttered to himself and raised his hand to point.

hum-

Colorful light fell from the sky and landed on the arch.

Under the astonished gazes of the four apostles, Cross, David, Hera and A, the three marks on the "Black and White Gate" seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand and disappeared without a trace!
"Really did it!"

Cross was overjoyed and exclaimed.

The other three apostles were also very surprised.

The stigma of shame left by the Three Sichens of Art was completely erased by the Red Sage at this moment. Suddenly, they all had more confidence in Jilan.

Feeling the joyful atmosphere, Jilan also smiled.

Although this seemingly simple action consumed hundreds of thousands of mystery points that he had stored, Gillan felt that it was well worth it!
