Chapter 481 The Truth of the Eternal Cycle
Chapter 481 The Truth of Eternal Reincarnation
Normally, the fastest way for Dan Lei to obtain the Fire Seed of the Negative World is to transform into a dragon and fly there.
That thing is in the middle of Parliament Square.
However, since Aglaia wanted to go with him, Danlei didn't just grab her like a dragon grabbing a princess and fly away.
After all, Black Tower and Nguyen Mai are both around now, so it's not easy for me to bully people, and I must absolutely stop taking advantage of others.
Dan Lei figured that Black Tide hadn't even entered Ohma yet, so a minute or two wouldn't make a difference. Therefore, he chose to summon his mount and fly over.
Soon, Danlei and Aglaia arrived at the Council Square. At this time, most of the people who were originally at Dawn Cloud Cliff had taken refuge in the Hall of No Light to avoid the fire meteors that would randomly fall from the sky.
However, in front of the casket containing the fire of the cemetery, there were a dozen or so devout but foolish priests who hoped to end this doomsday by praying to the gods.
Moreover, they have clearly gone mad.
As Danlei and Aglaia landed from the sky, a priestess immediately pounced on them, her expression frenzied, roaring...
"It's you! It's you! It's your deception that angered the gods and brought about the end of the world!"
That Dolores cat, she deceived everyone and desecrated the sacred object of Cephalus!
Lady Kenneth is right, she is right!
The Golden Descendants will only lead the world to its end!!!
The priestess was entangled by Aglaia's golden threads the moment she lunged forward, leaving her helplessly furious in mid-air.
However, her words did reveal some information; it seems that Saifeier's lie about the Dawn Machine has been exposed.
Dan Lei expressed "understanding and respect" for those who still place their hopes on God even in the face of impending doom.
If they don't resist or save themselves when death is imminent, then let them perish along with the world, clinging to their beliefs.
Therefore, Dan Lei immediately opened the fire box and took out the fire seed of the world.
Danlei's actions caused the priests to burst into tears on the spot, but Aglaia's golden threads bound them.
These priests, like some incompetent husbands, could only watch as the flame of worldly destruction fell into Danlei's hands.
Fortunately, after Danlei obtained the Flame of the Underworld, he immediately placed it in Aglaia's arms and said...
"Take this fire, so you won't have to worry about this person or that person later."
Let's go to the Marble Palace.
Aglaia would naturally not refuse to transport the fire of the world herself.
However, when she flipped over and mounted Lunebis again, a large number of Black Tide Creatures suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the Council Square.
A swordsman in black robes suddenly appeared at the entrance to the plaza.
Dan Lei wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of the Fire Thief.
If he doesn't come out to reap the rewards now that it's all over, he'll be finished.
In the game, he also defeated Wan Feng in this battle.
It is unknown whether Tibo and Tian were exhausted or killed; in any case, they were turned into dolls.
As for Xia Die, her fate is unknown.
However, it was also in this battle that it was confirmed that the Fire Thief did not actually need to collect all twelve fires in every reincarnation.
His act of collecting the fire is more like forcing the Golden Children to accelerate the process of recreating the world.
In the game, the final power of Romance was consumed by the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, clearly not falling into the hands of the Fire Thief.
After Feng Jin became a demigod, she immediately sacrificed herself to mend the sky, and the Fire Thief would certainly not be able to obtain the fire in the sky.
Therefore, Danlei spoke directly to Aglaia at this moment.
“You bring the fire of the world to Bai E, and leave this place to me.”
After saying that, Dan Lei moved his mind, and the surrounding weather changed drastically in an instant. Countless dark clouds covered the blood-red sky, and ten thousand thunderbolts fell like a torrential rain. The black tide creations that came with the Fire Thief were instantly cleaved into black slag.
After clearing out the Black Tide minions, the dark clouds did not dissipate; instead, they grew thicker and thicker. The energy within them was so powerful that Aglaia was hesitant to urge Lunebis to take off.
Seeing this, Dan Lei decisively urged again.
"Aglaia, hurry up and leave. Are you afraid of the dark or thunder?"
Dan Lei was right here. As mentioned in Tibo's third story, when Aglaia was young, she was not only afraid of the dark, but also afraid of ghosts.
However, she was just startled by the energy that Dan Lei had gathered.
So when Danlei urged her, Aglaia didn't explain and immediately sent Lunebis into the dark clouds.
Sorapis guarded Lunebis to prevent the scattered Black Griffins from attacking them.
After Aglaia flew away, Danlei looked at the Firewalker standing in front of him with his sword but not attacking, and laughed directly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Are you going to go through the motions of getting beaten up before getting serious, or are you going all out from the start?
I can sense that beneath your dark robe lies a terrifying, scorching energy.
Or rather, you're just trying to stall me here so your white clones can deal with the Golden Blood.
Despite Dan Lei's words, the Fire Thief did not make a move. Instead, he drew his silver crescent-shaped ritual sword and spoke haltingly.
"Let...Xi Lian...come out..."
Upon hearing that the Fire Thief wanted to find Xi Lian, Dan Lei frowned slightly and began to consider whether or not to let Xi Lian get close to this guy.
However, Xi Lian, who was constantly watching the outside world, took the initiative to speak to Dan Lei.
"Danlei, I want to go out and hear what this person has to say?"
Although my memory has not yet returned, I have recalled some fragmented memories during my time in Onfaros.
I could sense immense sorrow within this person, and I wanted to understand him.
Upon hearing Xi Lian's words, Dan Lei, who knew that the Fire Thief had a secret, decided to let Xi Lian come out and give it a try.
Onfaros's storyline has progressed to the final stage that he knew before he traveled through time.
Therefore, it's always good to get more information.
Suddenly, a flash of pink light appeared in front of Dan Lei, and Xi Lian made a dazzling entrance.
However, just as she was about to step forward, Dan Lei directly summoned the Immortal Execution Sword and handed it to Xi Lian, saying...
"This sword is for your protection; do not leave its vicinity."
Dan Lei's words were a direct statement.
As long as Dan Lei senses that something is amiss with the Fire Thief Walker, he will make him take the initiative to learn about what the Commander-level Hunting Power is.
Xi Lian naturally wouldn't refuse Dan Lei's concern. She sweetly said thank you and, under the protection of the Zhuxian Sword, walked towards the Fire Thief.
Seeing Xi Lian approach, the Fire Thief raised the ceremonial sword in his left hand, then twisted his wrist, pointing the blade at himself and the hilt at Xi Lian, and said...
"Pick...up...this...book...belonging...to...you...remembering...everything..."
Xi Lian only stared at the Fire Thief for a few seconds before reaching out and grasping the hilt of the ritual sword.
Then, a massive amount of memories flooded into Xi Lian's mind.
Dan Lei, who was in sync with Xi Lian, naturally entered the same state and quickly intervened in the raging flow of memories to help Xi Lian sort out her memories.
Then, Danlei witnessed an exceptionally cruel and tragic story.
A tragedy that has been repeated 33550336 times, each time forcing the protagonist to painfully watch all his teachers and friends die, and even more often forcing him to kill them with his own hands. All this repetition and perseverance is for the sake of waiting for a miracle that even he doesn't know if it exists, a miracle from beyond the heavens.
Bai'e, a life form simulated by a scepter.
Today, Danlei has to admit that the resilience of its spirit and soul far surpasses that of any life he has ever seen, including his own.
Dan Lei asked himself honestly, let alone letting himself kill all his teachers and friends 33550336 times.
Even if you find twelve strangers and kill them one by one, twelve in a group, and kill them 33550336 times in a row, Dan Lei feels that his mental strength will be worn down.
It's not how many people are killed that causes the wear and tear, but the process itself.
With Dan Lei's strength, destroying a planet in the blink of an eye is not difficult for him.
The destruction of billions of lives in an instant wouldn't affect Dan Lei much.
But if you put four or five hundred million people in front of Dan Lei and ask him to kill them one by one, it would be strange if he didn't have mental problems afterward.
Dan Lei isn't crazy. Watching lives slip through his fingers is completely different from using his power to destroy countless lives.
What's more, these lost lives were all his teachers and friends.
The initial cause of all this was that Xi Lian heard Fu Li's voice and pointed out a path to save the world.
Xi Lian herself, in the endless cycle of reincarnation, on a soft haystack, in the gentle breeze, will encounter the Fire Thief who comes to tell her the cruel truth.
Then, all the Xilian will make the same choice: erase "years" countless times and reset time countless times.
To borrow one of Xi Lian's favorite sayings—her charm lies in her consistency.
However, these memories are all from the perspective of the Fire Thief, no, they are all from the perspective of the savior, White Calamity.
When the memory played out, Xi Lian clearly remembered something. When Dan Lei was sorting through the memories, he suddenly discovered many fragmented memories of Xi Lian telling stories in an empty mechanical platform and in the air.
These memories are extremely fragmented, many consisting of only one or two sentences, and are almost entirely disconnected.
It's a bit like how people sometimes have a few flashbacks of memories from their infancy.
Danlei could only confirm that these memories should have occurred in the same place through the surrounding environment, and many of the backgrounds featured mechanical, "formatted" voices.
In short, although there are many of these memories, it is impossible to piece them together in a short period of time. They can only be suppressed as junk memories to avoid affecting normal thinking.
The complex thoughts in her conscious space were sorted out in reality in just a few moments when Xi Lian shook her head.
With Dan Lei's help, Xi Lian also figured out everything Bai E had gone through.
She released the hilt of the ceremonial sword, looked at the Fire Thief's mask with heartache, and slowly said...
"You've really worked hard."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Thief visibly trembled for a moment.
But the next second he reverted to his "keep away" attitude.
Then, he turned around and tried to open the door to leave.
Upon seeing this, Dan Lei immediately interrupted.
"Savior, don't rush off. Leave some clones behind. You'll probably have to do the same thing many more times."
"I can rescue the Golden Blood who are currently able to move normally in Ohma individually without affecting the regeneration. You don't need to actually kill them."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Thief turned around, glanced at Dan Lei, nodded, and then summoned a large number of gray-white clones to attack Dan Lei, while he himself opened the door and left.
Seeing this, Dan Lei said to Xi Lian
"Xi Lian, go back first and sort out your memories and thoughts."
We can't do much more in this cycle; let's prepare to act again in the 33550337th cycle.
Xi Lian followed Dan Lei's advice and went straight back to the garden inside the Holy Grail, where she sat in the sea of flowers, hugging her legs and reminiscing.
Meanwhile, Dan Lei deliberately used powerful, wide-ranging single-target attacks to eliminate the gray-white Fire Thief clones one by one.
Terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from Dawn Cloud Cliff, and anyone in the rest of Ohmma who wasn't deaf knew that the battle there was extremely fierce.
To the Golden Blood, it seemed as if two Titans were truly fighting at Dawn Cloudcliff, and the overflowing energy fluctuations were terrifying.
About three minutes after Aglaia left the Council Square, Lunebis, who had been speeding all the way, brought Aglaia back to the Marble Palace.
In just over ten minutes, Feng Jin had completed her demigod trial and began treating the wounded in the Cloud Stone Palace. She also used her heavenly powers to protect the civilians trapped in the fire throughout the city with various colorful bubbles, so that they could wait for Tirispius to open the gates and rescue them.
Upon receiving Dan Lei's message, Bai E was instantly carried back to the Cloud Stone Palace by Sai Feier's coin toss.
Xing, Wan Di, and Dan Heng ran back on their own.
The Butterfly did not appear, but the Black Tide Creatures on the battlefield were often grabbed by the ankles by the Styx-formed hand, proving that she had been watching Ohma and had been fighting all along.
When Aglaia returned, Tirispyos had just sent a group of commoners into the Marble Palace through the Hundred Worlds Gate.
Aglaia returned alone with the Flame of the Necromancer, along with Sorapis and Lunebis, but Danlei was not with her.
Feng Jin temporarily handed the wounded over to the other physicians in the Dim Light Courtyard and quickly came over to ask...
"Ms. Aglaia, you've returned with the flame. Where is Long... Danlei?"
Aglaia spoke frankly to everyone.
"The Fire Thief has appeared; he can bring Black Tide creations and parachute into Ohma."
He went to deal with the Fire Thief.
However, according to my gold thread feedback, quite a few Black Tide creations have already appeared in various parts of Ohmma's inner city.
Fortunately, their numbers are small, and the guards can handle them for the time being.
After saying that, Aglaia directly handed the World-Burning Flame to Bai E and said...
"Bai'e, go to the core of the cosmic vortex right now, exchange the fire seed and complete the re-creation at the same time. We will all buy you time."
Bai E knew this was not the time for hesitation or confusion, and decisively nodded.
"Understood, handing it over... is that possible!"
Bai E was speaking when the guards of the Cloud Stone Palace, accompanied by the broken gate, were suddenly blasted into the front hall.
The Fire Thief poured in with a massive amount of Black Tide creations.
Upon seeing this, Xing, Danheng, and Wandi immediately charged forward without hesitation, prompting Sorapis to exclaim in surprise.
"How is this possible! The battle on Master's side is not over yet, how did this guy get here?"
Aglaia drew her golden sword, summoned the tailor, and said with a serious expression.
"This monster can create clones. My golden threads sense that a large number of its clones have now surrounded the Cloud Stone Palace and are preparing to break in from all directions at the same time."
Feng Jin, tell my master Dan Lei the location of the memory gate, and move all the civilians there.
Now, only Danlei's Immortal Temple can save everyone's lives.
Xinghe Danheng, please help my teacher and Feng Jin protect the people.
I will lead the rest to cover the rear!
