But it was all in vain, because there was no road here, and there was endless starry sky all around.
No sound can be heard, no life can be seen.
He was the only one who was staggering, and with every step he took, the wounds on his body hurt violently.
The authority he possessed seemed to be completely stripped away at this moment. He lost not only his identity as a Herrscher, but the theoretically existing super-mutation factor also seemed to have fallen silent. At this moment, he was just an ordinary person, a... traveler covered in wounds.
He was no longer the End. He knew that he had lost the bet with the Cocoon of the End. The End was indeed born for himself. In addition to resetting civilization, her other purpose was to swallow up his authority crowned by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
Yes, as long as he died, or the "Herrser of Time" died, the End War would be over. He knew this from the beginning, so he handed the core key of the Sky Thunder to Lionel. This was the last resort for mankind.
After his death, even if the connection between the End and the Cocoon of the End has been severed, the End will come again, because civilization is close to collapse and the time of reincarnation has come. The judgment on him has ended, but the reincarnation of civilization has just begun.
The Cocoon of the End was willing to give humans a chance, but this opportunity was lost when most people began to doubt him.
But she will give mankind enough time to prepare. She will not reset everything. She will erase the sins of the previous civilization, cover the seeds of the current civilization with soil, and wait for a new round of reincarnation and the sprouting of civilization.
As for this nameless place, he didn't know where it was, nor did he care where it was. He only knew that this was one of the spaces leading to the cocoon of the end. Alicia and Lilith had returned to the "cocoon", and he could go from here to find them.
“Does this make sense?”
It seemed as if a voice was asking him this, and he understood that this was not the voice of "Cocoon", but the voice of his own heart.
"Alicea and Lilith are gone. Lilim and Mavis have lost their mothers. They cannot lose their fathers."
"Come back, they are all still waiting for you to come back. Not just them, but also Padu, Mebius, Velvet, Ying... Aren't they the people you care about? Have you never noticed their feelings? No, you know, you have always known. They are also your concern."
"Take a step back. What about Kevin? In order to fight alongside you, he voluntarily took on the power of the end, which is unbearable for him now. Alicia and Lilith are gone. If you leave too, then in the end, for him and all the heroes who have been reborn, wouldn't there be nothing left?"
"Don't forget that it was Alicia and Lilith who voluntarily sacrificed themselves just to save your life."
"You don't know what's ahead, or you don't know if you can find them. Give up, you still have a way out!"
Zhu Yufeng turned around and saw a door appeared not far behind him. Although he had lost the authority of the Herrscher and the identity of a fusion warrior, his intuition told him to turn around, walk through the door, and then he could go back.
Live with the wishes of Alicia and Lilith.
Lucifer, the "Hersher of Time", is dead, but he can still live as a human named "Zhu Yufeng".
But he wanted to gamble again, betting that he could find Alicia and Lilith and bring them back. But this time, the only thing he could put on the table was his life.
The sinful traveler stopped and stared at the door which seemed just a stone's throw away.
"As long as you walk through this door, you can go back and you can still see what you care about and the people who care about you."
In a trance, the light and shadow of the surrounding space changed.
He found himself in Mobius' laboratory. He saw the doctor who had always been feared by the other members of the Fire Moth, the researcher who was not tolerated by the world, locked herself in the laboratory alone, just like her appearance as a little girl at the moment, curled up in the corner, buried her head in her arms, and cried softly.
He dragged his wounded body forward and wanted to reach out to comfort her, but found that his hand had passed through her body.
This was the first time he saw Mobius so vulnerable. Snakes are cold-blooded and cannot shed tears, but she is Mobius, a human being, and her cold-bloodedness is just a disguise. He knew that even if she always disliked Alicia, in her heart, Alicia was always an important person to her.
Then it was herself. Because of herself, she took off her cold-blooded disguise and was willing to reveal her true heart.
She showed her vulnerable side because of me, but now I am right in front of her, but I can't touch her or give her any comfort.
"Go back? If you go back, there's still a chance. She's someone you care about, isn't she?"
Yes, if I go back, there is still a chance...
If he just turned back, he could actually touch Mebius and tell her that he was back alive.
As his thoughts turned, the surrounding scene changed again. He saw Velvi sitting quietly on the chair in the Spiral Workshop. She looked... just like the painting that Grace gave her in the previous life, like a damaged doll, lifeless.
In front of her were countless calculation data. In order to infer the method to cut off the connection between the Cocoon of the End and the End, she re-merged all her personalities and tried to exchange all her talents for a glimmer of hope for herself.
He raised his hands, wanting to give her a comforting hug, wanting to tell her that he was back alive.
But then he remembered that he had no physical body now.
She couldn't see him and he couldn't touch her.
"Go back? Go back. You still have people you care about and who love you waiting for you to come back."
The traveler who was burdened with the sin of heaven stood there blankly. He began to hesitate. He looked behind him. The door seemed to be closer to him, as if urging him to go in quickly. The people he cared about had already lost Alicia, and they could not lose themselves again.
As if sensing his inner hesitation, the scene changed again.
In the command room of the Fire Moth, Ying placed the Seven Thunders of Purification on Lionel's neck, with misty eyes, questioning Lionel why he wanted to activate the core key.
It was the first time he saw her, who was once one of the world's top masters, almost unable to hold the knife in her hand steadily at this moment. The Seven Thunders of Purification were stuck in the back of the chair where Lionel was sitting, symbolizing how strong the killer's murderous intent was, but because of the constraints of the precepts, she could not move the blade even a little bit.
Lionel just remained silent without any explanation.
"Go back? Go back. Sakura cares about you so much. Everyone cares about you so much. Lionel is willing to bear the guilt of being a traitor for you. He should not bear such a crime. Go back."
I……
The light and shadows around me changed again.
This time, he heard crying before he saw people. He saw Pado hiding in the corner and crying, saw the researchers in the lunar base cheering for the end of the Final Battle, and saw Kevin's tightly clenched fists. This hero who bore the inscription of "Savior" turned his back to everyone, unwilling to even look at the people who were celebrating.
"Go back? Go back. You are no longer a Herrscher. You have become a human again. The people you care about and your best friends are all praying for your survival. Go back..."
Go back...if you just go back...
The light and shadows changed again, as if to strengthen his heart, and this time it was Grayshu and his two daughters.
Hen sat in a wheelchair, looking at Grayxiu silently. Grayxiu raised her head and asked her father almost persistently: "When will Brother Yufeng come back?"
Hen looked at his daughter, then at Lilith who was following Grayshull, and Mavis who was being pushed in the stroller by Lilith. The throat of this experienced warrior rolled a few times, and all his words finally turned into a long sigh.
"Dad said that I should take good care of my sister." Lilith seemed to understand the meaning of Hen's silence. She turned her gaze to her sister and said softly.
"Go back? Go back... They are your daughters. They haven't grown up yet. They still have a long life to live. Their mother is gone, and they can't live without a father anymore..."
Yes, they can't live without a father anymore...
The door behind him seemed to be closer to him.
As if urging him to go back quickly, the scene changed faster and faster. He saw the young man of Xu Guang sitting silently on a tall building, looking up at the distant moon. Desdobia stood beside him and wanted to speak, but the boy said before she could, "... Leave me alone for a while, Desdobia..."
He saw that the Mad King of Annihilation was no longer violent for the first time, but just sat silently on a chair. The Golden Singer was playing sad music alone, telling of the stubbornness of fate. The ascetic of the precepts stood in a trance in front of the broken statue, as if silently protesting against the so-called injustice of the gods. The warrior of floating life stood blankly outside Mobius' laboratory, not knowing what he should do. The enlightened one of heavenly wisdom stood in front of Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, like a standing stone statue.
"Go back? Go back... Traveler who has been convicted of a sin, as long as you are willing to turn back, you will no longer have to bear the so-called sin of heaven."
The space changed back to that nameless starry sky.
The door to reality was right in front of him. As long as he took this step, he could go back.
He almost subconsciously raised his foot and was about to step into the door, but suddenly, he stopped, and some memories that were too long ago came to his mind.
"That was a story that happened a long, long time ago..."
"One day, He fell from the sky, and people looked up, and they saw the starry sky."
“The stars and the moon send the daughter of God, who wishes to be man’s companion.”
"The winds become her chariot, and the four seas become her garden. Birds bring seeds of kindness, and flowers weave songs of love."
"This is how she was born into the world, walked on the earth, grew up with humans, and sprouted with the world."
"Now, the end is coming."
"Now, the time has come to return."
"Farewell, beautiful world."
“After this, stars will shine because I am here now.”
"After this, hundreds of flowers will bloom, because I never left."
"Please weave my arrows, my flowers, and my love into seeds of new life, and bring them to the withered earth."
"Finally, let it blossom into the eternal and flawless...flower of humanity."
"My name is Alicia..."
"The first Ruler of Law, the Ruler of Man..."
It shouldn’t be like this. It shouldn’t be like this!
He heard the cry in his heart.
She loved this world so much, but she had to say goodbye to the world she loved and the human beings she loved. She planted the seeds of hope with her own hands, but she could never see the dawn that was born because of her...
It shouldn’t be like this. It shouldn’t be like this!
He remembered the wish he made when he first traveled through time. He wanted to give all the Thirteen Heroes a perfect ending, and wanted their stories to continue in the next civilization. Their stories should be remembered by civilization, and their deeds should not be forgotten.
This was his original wish!
In a trance, he seemed to hear the feelings that Alicia expressed to him that evening: "Perhaps, in those countless worlds, there are countless me, and I made the same choice as them in the end, but there is only one Alicia who met you. I am just like any other ordinary girl. I have someone I like, and I will be jealous, angry, and sad for him. I will also be happy and shy for him. No matter what, I am the one and only Alicia who met you and intertwined with your story."
This is who she is. This time, she volunteered to sacrifice herself before the humans in order to save herself...
The traveler withdrew his foot that was about to step into the door. His eyes became determined. He looked at the door in front of him, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction with his back to the door.
The wounds on his body began to hurt again, and it seemed that as he moved away from the door, the pain intensified with every step.
But he didn't hesitate at all this time.
Doesn't he care about Mebius and the others? Yes, of course he does!
Then why not go back?
Because he will definitely go back, but before he goes back, he wants to bring both Alicia and Lilith back!
Arrogant, arrogant, self-righteous...
It doesn’t matter... because I am the leader of the fallen angels, Lucifer, the evil of this world... I will not obey any arrangement of fate, I will write the so-called destiny into what we expect!
He ran with all his might, every cell in his body was whining, he just kept running forward, running tirelessly, even if he fell to the ground because of the severe pain, he would still get up and continue running.
An unknown amount of time had passed. As if in response to him, he continued to run, and the wounds all over his body began to emit a faint light, repairing them. Then, as if some shackles had been broken, a warm light enveloped him, and a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar power filled his inner self.
In an instant, he felt some kind of connection. He looked at the space in front of him, stretched out his hand and punched it, as if he was punching a wall. He did not stop, but punched the space in front of him even harder.
One punch, two punches...
His hands were covered in blood, but he had no intention of giving up.
The space shattered in front of him, and he stepped into the crack he created without hesitation and came to a pure white space.
He raised his head and looked at the two girls who seemed to be sleeping in front of him, with a smile on his face: "I found you, Alicia, Lilith..."
This is the fifth leave request this month. Well, I went out to do something today and ended up wasting quite a bit of time. When I returned to the dormitory and took a shower, it was already 10 o'clock. I looked at the time and I have to go to the hospital for internship tomorrow morning, so after thinking about it, I decided to ask for leave first.
But don't worry, the Civilization Volume will be finished before this month, it will be finished.
Group member: You don’t have any saved drafts, right?!
Me: This is what medical sacrifice is like ()
ps: Siegfried: What did you do to my daughter? !
Siegfried: No matter who you are, even if you are Lucifer, get off my daughter!
Kiana (?): Your daughter? Do you really have your daughter in your heart?
Kiana (?): You recklessly entered the destiny with a child of several years old, watched her fall from a height of several thousand meters, gave her name to the one you thought was your second daughter, and then left her when she was several years old, leaving her to survive alone and live a wandering life from then on.
Kiana (?): You keep saying that you love Cecilia, but you can't do anything about her departure, and you can't even keep the daughter she left you! I can't blame you for not protecting Cecilia, but you can't even keep her daughter...
Kiana (?): I'm not here just to take back the Holy Fire Judgment from you, I also want to tell you, Siegfried Kaslana, that the Shaniyat family... does not welcome you.
Chapter 343 We Will Meet Again
A nameless place.
It was still the same starry sky. Zhu Yufeng, Alicia and Lilith were walking in the endless starry sky. In the distant front, the door was still standing quietly.
"As long as you walk through this door, you can return to the real world." This is what Zhu Yufeng said.
Alicia was walking in front. She couldn't hear any footsteps in this space. She couldn't judge whether Zhu Yufeng was behind her based on the footsteps.
After waking her and Lilith up, Zhu Yufeng told them a way to return to the real world. The three of them were originally walking side by side, but as they walked, Zhu Yufeng slowed down his pace, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and ended up being one step behind.
"Feng..." Alicia couldn't help but call out.
"I'm here." The calm but reassuring voice of that person came from behind, "Don't worry about me, Alicia, just keep going forward and don't look back. You must... don't look back."
