Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Zhen Shifang covered his forehead, trying his best to control his emotions, his eyes bloodshot: "I am only one step away from success, and what I want is not to conquer the world at all. Tao Rusu, you may not understand me, but I only hope that you can sympathize with me."

"Bai Yujing won't understand, but you can understand me, right?"

"You don't really care about the interests of your country, and you don't really need to judge my crimes. All you need is the fact that I disappear!"

"So as long as I disappear, the result will be the same for you. You can say that I have been executed by you!"

He spread his hands and began to explain and even plead.

"I will never appear in front of you from now on. You can just claim that I'm dead or disappeared!"

"I can swear, because I didn't want to stay here in the first place!"

"Because what I wanted from the beginning was..."

"I know." Tao Rusu interrupted him.

Zhen Shifang was startled: "You know?"

"Of course I know... You think I don't understand you very well, but you are wrong. As you said, we are father and daughter, connected by blood... Many times, even if I don't want to, I can feel certain... emotions from you."

Tao Rusu folded her hands and said, "You are not born evil, but you did these things for your own selfish interests. It's not that you don't feel guilty, but you have eliminated the guilt in some way and escaped from it."

"So…I know you don't want to stay here."

"I know that once your wish is fulfilled, you will leave immediately and forever, and we will never see each other again."

"I also know what your wish is."

The Tyrant opened his mouth.

He was unwilling to have his deepest desires dug out.

For a sinner whose hands and soul have already been soiled, there is still a pure and clean place in his heart. That is his pursuit and his wish.

In the rain of light, Tao Rusu looked at the man, looked him straight in the eye, and revealed the true desire behind his shameful crime.

"Your real wish is to go back in time."

Zhen Shifang opened his mouth, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, his facial muscles tensed for a few seconds, then relaxed, his shoulders drooping.

For a long time, he has been acting towards one goal.

Now that I've been seen through, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

He never wanted to be figured out by anyone, but in the end he couldn't hide the desire deep in his heart... just like a little kid.

"Yes." Zhen Shifang's voice was heavy and low: "It is said that Zhulong can control the passage of time. Closing his eyes is night, and opening his eyes is day... As long as you can become a Zhulong of the innate creature, you should be able to obtain the mystery of traveling through time and space."

"As expected." Tao Rusu whispered, "So, you think that as long as you go back to the past, those people who were killed and the fact that you committed a crime will no longer exist, right?"

"Yes." Zhen Shifang said, "As long as I go back to the past, then none of this will have happened."

"This is how you escape from guilt... your cunning logic is self-consistent." Tao Rusu continued, "But why do you want to go back to the past?"

Zhen Shifang didn't want to say this.

But for some reason, he had the urge to speak.

Perhaps it was because the girl in front of him was his biological daughter and this would be the last time they would meet, or perhaps he felt a long-lost sense of relief because the secret could finally be told and he didn't have to continue to bear the pain alone.

After a moment of silence, Zhen Shifang continued, "I had a happy family, a loving pair of parents, three sisters who loved me, and then they all died..."

"They died in the shadow world...They died one by one to protect me."

"I survived alone in the shadow world for five months."

"Trapped in a small underground space with no food and only dirty water."

"In order to keep me alive, my relatives committed suicide one after another."

“I want to survive, too.”

"Eat their bodies..."

He didn't finish his words, but when he talked about these things, his fingers clenched unconsciously and his eyes turned slightly red. He didn't go into too much detail.

But those five months must have been an experience of despair that is difficult to describe.

Some people are healed for their whole life because of their childhood; some people suffer for their whole life because of their childhood.

There is always something that will suddenly hurt people, maybe it is a toy that is out of reach, maybe it is an unexplained misunderstanding, or maybe it is a heart-wrenching loss.

After listening to this not-so-long story.

Tao Rusu said: "So you want to go back?"

"Yes, I want to go back." Zhen Shifang clenched his fists: "I want to save them... Am I wrong?"

Tao Rusu did not answer whether it was right or wrong.

There is nothing wrong with saving lives, but the method is wrong.

and……

"Let me go." Zhen Shifang pleaded in a low voice: "I will leave here, I will fly far away, I just want to go back to the past and live with the relatives I lost. As long as I can go back, I am willing to give everything."

Tao Rusu opened her mouth and hesitated.

Hesitating whether to speak.

a long time……

Tao Rusu sighed: "Even if I let you go, do you really think your wish can be fulfilled?"

"Shut up!" Zhen Shifang suddenly raised his eyes, as angry as a mad lion: "Shut up!"

"Listen," Tao Rusu completely ignored his expression and continued, "In the blood of the tyrant..."

"Stop talking, stop talking!" Zhen Shifang roared and rushed forward to cover Tao Rusu's mouth.

The next moment, his head was held down and smashed to the ground.

Tao Rusu suppressed him, stared at his bloodshot eyes, and said word by word: "There is no 'Zhulong' at all!"

She still spoke, even though the truth would be the most cruel torture in the world for Zhen Shifang.

"No, I don't believe it... You lied to me." Zhen Shifang gritted his teeth, his voice trembling. The strong sense of uneasiness he revealed was like that of a frightened child.

"Zhulong's bloodline has been cut off!"

Tao Rusu repeated it, cruelly shattering his delusion.

"If you don't understand, I will repeat it to you countless times!"

"Zhen Shifang! Your wish was impossible to achieve from the beginning!"

"You can't go back to the past!"

Having said that, Tao Rusu gave Zhen Shifang a headbutt.

The dull sound of the headbutt seemed to have smashed the fact of this sentence into Zhen Shifang's skull, pouring into his mind, and the sound echoed repeatedly.

The ripples turned into waves, tearing open his heart bit by bit, breaking his persistence, and shattering his self-consistent logic and self-comfort to escape guilt.

Hope is within reach.

But it's just a fantasy.

Zhen Shifang was lying on the ground, his expression stiff, as dumb as a wooden chicken, his face as pale as death.

He murmured, "You lied to me... You are, lying to me..."

The spirit is cracked and the soul is severely damaged.

Despair stains.

Zhen Shifang couldn't bear it anymore and slowly closed his eyes.

As if he never wanted to wake up, he uttered a few dull, dry sounds, blood-red tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe he really won't wake up.

Tao Rusu did not kill, she just magnified the damage in her soul.

Even if she knew that the murder had been committed, it might be a relief for Zhen Shifang.

But in the end, she couldn't bear the heart to kill her father because she didn't want to bear such a heavy sin.

Tao Rusu smiled bitterly: "You and I are very similar... We both witnessed the death of our loved ones and experienced pain."

The closest relatives Tao Rusu was referring to were the murder of her adoptive parents, which was also the beginning of a dramatic change in her life.

"In fact, you could have had a perfect and happy life."

It's not like she didn't imagine going back to the past, if she could rewrite the past...

If Zhen Shifang had chosen to marry Ao Muxue and stay in Dragon Country, they could have started a family together.

Ao Muxue is a good wife and mother, Zhen Shifang is gifted and will be canonized sooner or later, and Tao Rusu will definitely not be called Tao Rusu anymore...

But she will grow up in a happy family and become a person who knows how to love and be loved.

That kind of life is beautiful just thinking about it.

But, but...

“We are different after all.”

"How can anyone go back to the past and start life over again?"

"You may have spent the most unfortunate first decade or so, but you could have had a happy future."

"Just like me."

“Instead of looking at the past, look to the future.”

"My unhappy life has ended, and my happy life has just begun."

"The most meaningless thing in the world is regret..."

Tao Rusu looked at this extremely weak man who refused to even look at a happy future and only stared at his painful past. He was pitiful, tragic and even more hateful.

“Life is like a game of chess.”

"No regrets when you make a move."

Chapter 883 The Penglai Island Master Comes to End the Event

When Wu Lianyue saw Bai Yu holding the meteorite heavy sword, he had already anticipated how difficult the upcoming battle would be.

only……

He didn't expect the battle to turn into an overwhelming defeat.

In fact, Wu Lianyue also has a hidden card.

The witch clan is a congenital creature, a race gifted by God. How could they not have one or two top-notch secret techniques?

He revealed three cards from his hole.

The first one is to fully activate the Great Wizard's bloodline and strengthen one's body to the extreme. In this state, the Wizard will exert 500% of their physical strength, but it can only last for a relatively short time and will harm themselves.

The second trump card is to awaken the beast spirit through the bloodline power of the witch clan... Don't forget, Wu Lianyue is the dean of the Yuling Academy. In the ancient times, when innate creatures were in power, Yuling itself was also one of the special power systems. The system that flourished in those days has actually been seriously degraded today.

The third trump card is the ultimate mystery of the Wu clan, the incomplete Nine Revolutions Profound Art passed down through blood memory. Practicing this art means embarking on the path of proving the truth with force, but the art that Wu Lianyue obtained is not complete, it is only a fragment of the fragments. The only benefit he gained from the inheritance is the elementalization for a short period of time.

Transforming oneself into energy is actually a prerequisite skill for an extremely advanced magical power.

However, since the inheritance was incomplete, Wu Lianyue did not learn it.

Even so, the elemental ability alone is already quite terrifying, which means that Wu Lianyue can wantonly grab the energy of heaven and earth to feed himself, and all damage suffered can be quickly recovered.

Draw the sword to cut the water and the water will flow even more.

Originally, Wu Lianyue should have been able to remain invincible with these trump cards, but... the trump cards he had were also possessed by the Lord of Penglai Island.

But Wu Penglai still died under this Tianxing heavy sword.

Elementalization is precisely what is restrained by this heavy sword...

Because it comes from outer space, the weapon is attached with mystery, and it can even cut off the thunder with a slash towards the sky!

Therefore, when the trump card was declared invalid, Wu Lianyue was inevitably doomed to failure.

And it was a crushing defeat.
