The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　The truth always exists objectively. Even if it is unknown, it just needs to be discovered.

　Therefore, this fragment of memory was hidden here and was eventually discovered by Xingmo and Aurora.

　"So... Vivian's bloodline really does come from the ancient Dark Moon Dragon..." Xing Mo exhaled, "But why did the Dragon Lord want to capture her?"

　"I have a guess," Aurora said.

　She paced back and forth in the darkness for a while, then raised her head and looked at the endless black dome.

　Then she whispered:

　"The complete chord of life includes the Tree of Life, the Land of Lost, and the Song of the Sand... It is composed of three different concepts... symbolizing the soul and life, memory and life, and the life of dead things."

　"This is the manifestation of life under different concepts. If what old Merlin said is correct, only when these three pieces are put together can a relatively complete string of life be formed."

　"So... what if... the String of Truth is also like this?"

　Aurora's words were like a bomb, exploding in Xingmo's mind.

　"Yes..." Xingmo murmured, "The truth expressed by Yuechen is more like a kind of... definition, turning something into a known truth."

　For example, let the fact that "the Hanging Gardens are right above the White Tower" become a truth.

　"Then... its opposite is..." Aurora blinked.

　"...to remove a fact and turn it into the unknown."

　The two fell silent for a moment, because they discovered a shocking secret from this short deduction.

　That is... the String of Truth in the hands of the Court of Redemption is actually incomplete!

　All they have are the blue stars!

　"If our guess is correct," Xing Mo said, growing increasingly excited, "then the Dragon Lord's purpose in exterminating the Ice Dragon clan is..."

　"...is to fully obtain the authority of truth." Aurora continued.

　"...But the truth doesn't lie with the Ice Dragon, but with... me at that time," Xing Mo paced back and forth, "so the Dragon Lord didn't succeed."

　"But the ice dragon can indeed utilize the power of truth, at least in part. Otherwise, the little ice dragon would not have been able to escape," Aurora said.

　The two of them looked into the dark distance together, and then said in unison:

　"In that case, the Black Dragon's purpose in appearing in the Citadel is... to take away the truth!"

　"It seems that we are not the only ones who want to disrupt the ceremony under the White Tower..." Xingmo sighed.

　Well, it’s obvious that the Black Dragon Society is not a good group of people, and Xing Mo doesn’t have a good impression of that Heimu at all.

　But to be honest, seeing someone trying to cause trouble, and the target was the Court of Redemption, she was inexplicably happy.

　Wouldn't it be great if we could give the enemy trouble?

　"Can we find more memories?" Xing Mo asked, "We seem to have strayed too far. We should heal Senior Vivian first."

　"Well, let's continue watching."

　Aurora finished speaking, closed her eyes, and searched in her dreams.

　Xing Mo felt that the darkness around her was flowing rapidly, accompanied by the howling of the wind, which made her ears tinnitus for a while.

　Soon, the darkness before my eyes seemed to take shape again, and this time the image was clearer.

　What comes into view is the White Pagoda.

　No, to be more precise, this is the area beneath the White Tower, the White Tower District. The giant shadow of the Hanging Gardens casts a shadow over the outline of the Citadel, and sand statues can be seen everywhere on the streets.

　This time period...is after the Citadel was invaded?

　Xing Mo raised her head and looked at the huge building in front of her - Maple Leaf Palace stood before her.

　And right in front of the palace, she saw a familiar figure.

　Ancient Dragon Hunting.

　He was a warrior covered in pitch-black armor, with ice-blue flames spurting out from the gaps between the scales, making him look like a god.

　And right in front of the ancient dragon, Xing Mo saw the figure of Senior Vivian.

　The armor on her body exploded, turning into icy flames flying around, and she herself was half-kneeling on the steps, leaning on the silver giant sword.

　"...Cough..." Vivian spat out a mouthful of black blood, which began to burn as it fell to the ground, its color turning icy blue.

　Looking at his defeated opponent, Gu Longshou said majestically:

　"It's been a long time."

　"...You...who are you..." Vivian said viciously.

　"Your memory has been stripped away by the Unknown, which is a good thing for you," the Ancient Dragon Hunter whispered, "but you've forgotten too much, Vivian Xia. Your forgetfulness has caused you to slumber in human time, retracting your scales and no longer resembling a dragon."

　"Shut up..." Vivian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "I want to save her... If you stop me again... I..."

　Before she could finish her words, she suddenly jumped up with her sword raised and slashed at the ancient dragon hunter.

　An ice-blue sword light flashed, and the long spear instantly cut off the silver sword, turning it into flying ice flames.

　Gu Longshou grabbed Vivian's neck and lifted her up like a chicken.

　"Gu...cough..."

　"You should remember now," the ancient dragon hunter whispered, "the clan's mission... is up to you to shoulder."

　"What are you talking about... ahem?"

　Before Vivian could finish her words, she spat out blood again.

　She lowered her head and found that her chest was pierced by an ice-blue flame blade, and blood was splattered.

　"Lose control, Ice Dragon, and explore the boundaries of madness," the Ancient Dragon Hunter whispered. "There... lies everything you have lost."

　After saying that, she threw Vivian's body away and let her roll down the stairs.

　The immortals on the side immediately rushed forward with spears in hand. They had suffered a great defeat in the previous battle and planned to take revenge now.

　However, what greeted them was a pair of ice-blue vertical pupils——

　"boom"

　The ice-blue flame shot straight into the sky, instantly turning everything in front of the Maple Leaf Palace into incandescence.

　By the time everything dissipated, Vivian had already disappeared.

　""

　The scene faded into darkness again, leaving Xingmo and Aurora standing in the darkness.

　"This is why Senior Vivian lost control..." Xing Mo murmured.

　"That ancient dragon again..." Aurora muttered, "It really is haunting us..."

　"What is the relationship between him and Vivian?" Xing Mo pondered.

　The first encounter with the ancient dragon hunter was at the Caradorans Ridge. The ancient dragon tried to use the remains of the Winter Messenger to upgrade to an angel.

　No... Now that I think about it, it was probably just a trap designed by Cain in order to meet Xingmo.

　There is no doubt that the force to which Gu Longshou belongs is the Court of Redemption, and he has been working for Cain.

　So...what is the relationship between this ancient dragon and Senior Vivian?

　Xing Mo pondered the two sentences that Gu Long and Wei Wei'an had said:

　"It's been a long time..."

　"The clan's mission..."

　"Could it be that... Ancient Dragon Hunter and Vivian belong to the same clan?" Xing Mo speculated. "Is it really that simple? Or...is it really such a coincidence?"

　"Who knows..." Aurora said.

　She pinched lightly in the air and pinched an ice-blue string that glowed in the darkness.

　"But once the lesion is found, treatment is simple."

　"Can you suppress the ice flame in her body?" Xing Mo asked.

　"It would be more convenient if you could do this," Aurora smiled. "After all... those ice flames are afraid of you~"

　It seems to be true...Xing Mo nodded and then reached behind her back.

　She grasped the handle of the Spear of Ivramis, and at the same time, countless hands seemed to overlap with hers, tightly gripping the spear.

　With so many anchor points as support, it seems easy to just mobilize a little bit of strength... Xingmo thought so, and golden light gradually appeared in his pupils.

　In an instant, the icy blue in the depths of the darkness suddenly bloomed, and then quickly converged under the influence of the golden light until it disappeared into nothingness.

　"Alright," Xing Mo let go of her hand, and the golden light dissipated. "Let's go and see how Senior Vivian is doing."

　Aurora nodded and waved her hand, and the two of them quickly exited the dream.

　"what--"

　Following the sound of breathing, Xing Mo looked up and saw Vivian suddenly standing up from the bed, her ice-blue vertical pupils flashing with light.

　"Alice! I..."

　"Don't get excited, Vivian," Professor Ling immediately held her down, "Lie down first, don't..."

　"Alice! I want to go find Alice!"

　Vivian was so strong that she pushed Professor Ling's hand away in one go, then rolled off the bed to the ground.

　She tried to get up, but before she could stand firmly, she fell and fell to the ground in a mess.

　"Senior Vivian!"

　Xingmo immediately squatted down, supported Vivian, and helped her sit up.

　Vivian's face was covered in sweat. She kept gasping for breath, and her eyes looked at Xingmo tiredly, the ice-blue light in them gradually faded.

　As she watched, tears welled up in the majestic dragon's eyes, and Xiaolongnu pursed her lips slightly.

　"Xiao...Xiaomo...wuwuwuwu..."

　Before Xingmo could come to her senses, Weiweian suddenly hugged her and sobbed:

　"Love...Alice...she...where is she..."

　"She'll be fine..." Xingmo patted Vivian's back gently, "She'll be fine."

　Xingmo turned her head and glanced at Aurora, who just nodded slightly.

　A cold light flashed in the eyes of both of them almost at the same time.

Chapter 321 Flame (Part 4) -4k- (Two updates in one)

　Deep in the sewers of the Citadel, Lucius took off his scarf and looked coldly at the mess before him.

　What flows here is not sewage, but turbid living gold - the flowing gold has a hint of green and looks like it is mixed with dirty water plants.

　"See? This is Isabella Ducep's work..." Darkwood stood beside Lucius, his eyes flashing with ill intent. "Look, look! Gold, real gold! Dumped into the sewer like this! Just think about how much wealth and glory this gold could buy! He could turn a humble beggar in the port district into the richest man in the White Tower district! And yet it's been dumped here like a pile of garbage that no one cares about!"

　"You just want to show me these?" Lucius Lake's blue eyes were as cold as a frozen lake in winter.

　The light in his eyes made Heimu glance at the corner of his mouth, spread out his hands and said:

　"You've always had no sense of humor, Lucius... You didn't have it before, and you don't have it now..."

　He took two steps forward, looked at the filthy matter flowing in the sewer, and muttered:

　"Of course not... What I want to show you is not something so simple... Use your heart to see... See what is happening here..."

　Hearing this, Lucius stepped forward and took out the Gear Heart he carried with him.

　He clenched his heart tightly, and with the sound of gears turning, black light gradually emerged from his pupils.

　The black light obscured his vision, but also provided him with a completely new perspective - in the vision belonging to the steam man, he saw a faint green light flowing above the living gold, like the roots of a tree.

　"The power of life..." Lucius' voice was as deep as an organ. "It is the power of Aurora Havrgard."

　"Her power is being borrowed, and this requires a medium," Heimu smiled. "Guess who that medium is?"

　"Her follower..." Lucius whispered, "It can't be Xiaomo... then it must be... Alice?"

　The man's face was blurred in the shadows, but Heimu could feel that something had changed in him.

　He nodded and said:
