Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Are you a seeker?" Bai Yu was startled: "That's not right."

"It's a long story."

The conversation paused here, like a halftime break, but also like a foreshadowing for what's to come.

Bai Yu felt that the next words would be the key point, and the young man would need some time to control his emotions and organize his words.

Time stood still inside the coffee shop, not affecting the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window. Everything inside the shop was gray and white. In the dead silence, only the happy water was still bubbling.

“I screwed up…”

With a dull, introspective sigh, the conversation entered the key topic.

"The Demon Ancestor revived, the Outer God descended, and the defenses of the two major countries in the East and the West were destroyed in just one day. With the death of the two throne masters, the anchor was pulled out, and the final nail controlling the dark tide also disappeared. In just less than two months, the world was declared destroyed."

He spoke quickly and generally.

It was so vague that Bai Yu couldn't feel the truth of these words.

But he soon realized.

"Both throne masters died in battle?"

"Yes."

"Bai Potian and Scathach...are both dead?"

"He died, and died heroically." The young man touched his forehead and recalled: "Bai Potian raised Penglai Island to the sky, and crashed into the Demon Ancestor along with the throne, dying heroically without a complete body. He delayed the Demon Ancestor for an hour, but only an hour."

"The Demon Ancestor has revived, how did he..." Bai Yu opened his mouth. At this time, he thought of two people, one was Luohou and the other was Huang Qixia. He just didn't know whether he should ask, but it was definitely not satisfactory.

"In the battle against the Demon Ancestor, Luohou was at the front line. He was the first to die because Ketu's arrows were no longer useful... After the soul of the evil woman experienced reincarnation, she was no longer afraid of Ketu's arrows." The young man said, "Once the Demon Ancestor is resurrected, Luohou will not be able to stop him."

"How did Scathach die in battle?"

"She died at the hands of an Outer God... The battle was on the moon. It was a great fight. She deserved to lose. Unfortunately, no one could pick up her body."

Bai Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the table. He didn't want to continue asking many questions.

The young man said slowly: "If you don't want to ask, then don't ask."

Some things don’t need to be said clearly.

What else is there to say?

What about those people who didn’t make it back alive?

It is said that Bei Mingque ultimately failed to be canonized as a saint, and was buried in the first wave of undercurrents just like Lin Haiya?

It is said that in order to stop the Demon Ancestor, Hua Sheng and Yan Wuji carried two mountains together to cover their retreat, and even their bodies were buried in the mountains and could not be dug out?

It is said that when Ren Nanbei was trying to stop the undercurrent, he had a brief moment of vigour, broke through to the realm of sainthood, and managed to hold on for three more days before he ran out of energy and died?

Or it was the day before the world ended, when Sister Daxia held her own hand, smiled, closed her eyes, and fell asleep humming a ballad.

"Are you the only one who survived until now?" Bai Yu asked.

"...Yes, only me." The young man replied.

He was the only one alive; everyone else was dead.

include……

"Why are you still alive?" Bai Yu asked again.

He wasn't making a personal attack, but rather a question.

If everyone else is dead, why are you still alive?

Just reincarnate directly, is it that difficult?

The young man raised his eyes, looked at Bai Yu quietly, and then answered: "Because I can't die. If I die, the 30 million people here will not survive."

"The Ark Project is the last resort for survival in despair."

"After the arrival of the Demon Ancestor and the Outer Gods and the destruction of the two great nations, everyone knew that there was no possibility of defeating the powerful enemy. The final decision made after the meeting was that I would take out all the canonized interiors and piece them together into a small world."

"The small world is the ark. It will accommodate 30 million people and carry them to the new world 100,000 years from now."

"I am the pilot, the only pilot."

The young man spoke in a low voice, and their positions were reversed at this moment. Bai Yu became tense, like an angry lion; but the young man acted calm and composed, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

The reason why the former appears to be very calm is that he has long passed the emotional stage.

He experienced life-and-death battles time and time again, and experienced countless losses. What continued the flame of civilization was courage and strategy, sacrifice and abandonment.

Then, carrying all the pain and scars brought by the loss alone, with 30 million survivors and the spark of Earth's civilization, he was cautious, treading on thin ice, all alone... and waited like this for a full thousand years.

Just hearing and seeing it is shocking.

And this is the future that Bai Yu will arrive at sooner or later.

One by one, friends, relatives, and loved ones were all heading towards death, but I was powerless to do anything, and in the end, I lost them all, not being able to keep any of them.

But he couldn't die, couldn't go to reincarnation to reunite with them, he could only move forward alone, leaving all his past in the past.

What is engraved in the soul must be the pain, despair and unwillingness that wakes you up even in your dreams.

The most cruel thing... is the wait that lasts for a hundred thousand years.

He must shoulder the mission of sending 30 million survivors to a new world. No one except him can accomplish it, so for all eternity, forever and ever, he must carry this ark made of countless corpses and wait here until he decays... Even if there are tens of thousands of dead souls lingering around, even if he is plagued by countless curses, and the heavy burden on his shoulders, it will not let his spine bend even a little, and will not let his heart soften even a little.

After countless huge sacrifices, we have come to this day... a thousand years later.

It's impossible that he has never had regrets, but now he doesn't even have the qualifications to regret.

The most despairing fact is that even if he has the power to change his destiny, he cannot prevent the inevitable destruction. Even if he gives everything, he will never see the familiar smile again, and he will never be able to embrace the warm body temperature again.

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly wanted to escape from here, wanted to leave this place, wanted to return to his lovers, hug them, and escape the cold future filled with cruel loneliness and despair.

He began to understand why the young man had said those words before.

"How cruel." Bai Yu whispered, "They showed me this kind of future..."

"But we all have no choice." The young man said, "Don't tell me you are scared."

"Who wouldn't be scared? I'm scared to death, right?" Bai Yu said self-deprecatingly, "I may not be afraid of life or death, but instead of waiting alone for 100,000 years, I might as well enter reincarnation early and pray that we can see each other again in the next life."

"That won't do." The young man shook his head and said, "I have told you the truth, so you can't take your eyes off it. The best way to overcome fear is to face it. It's a foregone conclusion for me, but it hasn't come yet for you."

"Hiss... Fu!" Bai Yu took a deep breath and adjusted his mood: "What should I do? You should have the answer already, right?"

After a thousand years, Bai Yu didn't believe that he hadn't reviewed all the changes that had happened back then, and he didn't believe that he hadn't thought of ways to change the past.

At the moment, he should be the one who knows the solution to the problem best.

Bai Yu doesn't have time to dwell on these things.

What he needed was an answer, an accurate, standard, correct answer.

The young man also said bluntly: "The key point lies in the Outer Gods and the Demon Ancestor... Their appearance is fatal. It is impossible for you to defeat the Outer Gods and the Demon Ancestor at this stage, but the arrival of the Outer Gods takes time, and the Demon Ancestor also needs a ritual to revive."

"Tai Sui will definitely join forces with the Outer Gods' lackeys. Once the Demon Ancestor revives, the Outer Gods will have a chance to descend."

"So the most critical person among them is..."

Bai Yu had already thought of it: "Huang Qixia."

"You have two choices next." The young man raised his index finger: "Kill Huang Qixia and send Nv Xie to reincarnation. This way, we can change the future and delay another 500 years."

Bai Yu said, “I can’t do it.”

"I think so." The young man raised his middle finger. "Then you can only choose the second option... I personally recommend you to use this method, because although it is a gamble, it may be our only chance to win everything."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yu didn't understand.

"Huang Qixia is not Nv Xie." The young man said slowly: "So, you have to make Nv Xie become Huang Qixia."

"..." Bai Yu seemed to be thinking about something. This was not a riddle. The meaning was not difficult to understand.

"This is your only chance." The young man said, "Once the female evil invades Huang Qixia's consciousness, she will no longer be herself."

Bai Yu wanted to ask something else, but he saw the young man throwing something to him and he subconsciously caught it.

There is an object lying in the palm of your hand.

【Reincarnation Card】

"What is this?" Bai Yu was quite surprised: "How come you have this kind of card?"

"I didn't spoil the final episode, and that's the thing I regret the most."

The young man sighed: "If I had chosen to upgrade the final spoiler, would the ending be different now?"

"I have no use for this card anymore, so I'm giving it to you. I hope you can make good use of it."

"If it really comes to a point where it is irreversible, use this card to send Huang Qixia to reincarnation."

Bai Yu put the card away and nodded, "I'll remember that. Thank you."

"Your time is almost up." The young man saw a faint white light emanating from Bai Yu's body.

"Oh, I have one more thing." Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he had something important to ask: "The Chronicle of the Heroes..."

"Do I even need to ask this?" The young man shook his head and watched the other person disappear on the spot with calm eyes.

He picked up another cup, took out the happy water and drank it all.

The young man sitting quietly in the cafe heard a reminder sound that he had not heard for a thousand years.

[Heroic Chronicle System Upgrade Completed]

【Welcome to activate Chronicle of Heroes 2.0】

[The nostalgic server has been opened, do you want to log in? ]

"……Yes!"

Chapter 887 The Final Destiny

[The Chronicle of Heroes will be updated in 23 hours]

There is an exclamation mark on the red prompt.

Bai Yu sat up from the sofa and looked at his clenched right hand. In his palm was an object... reincarnation.

The spoilers of the final episode just received are not false, but actual conversations that took place.

and so……

If everything continues to develop according to the original history, sooner or later it will reach the same ending.

The two great kingdoms of Rome and Bactria were destroyed by the Outer Gods and the Demon Ancestor respectively, the anchor points of the thrones at the East and West Poles were uprooted, the world was swallowed up by the dark tide of the shadow world, and finally he and the only remaining 30 million people waited anxiously for the arrival of the new world one hundred thousand years later.

In this process, there are countless sacrifices and deaths, just like the doomsday movie 2012.

"Ugh……"

Bai Yu suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time, he had an indescribable sense of fear.

When you get too much, you will be afraid of losing it.

When a person realizes that what he currently has is not eternal, he will naturally feel fear. And after the fear is where the differences between people are reflected. The strong will choose to draw their swords and cross the sky, while the weak will choose to close their eyes in dejection.

"What's wrong with you?" A gentle voice sounded beside him.

Mahiru Amemiya stood at the edge of the sofa, stretched out her soft hand, and used her sleeve to gently wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Did you have a nightmare during your nap just now?"

Looking at this beautiful and clear face from a close distance, Bai Yu held her wrist and then hugged Amamiya Mahiru tightly.

Mahiru was slightly surprised at first, she guessed that Bai Yu must have experienced something, but the smart woman would never ask questions at this time. She just stretched out her hands, hugged the young man, leaned his head against her chest, and gently stroked the back of his head with her palms, her movements were gentle and her eyes were soft.

"I'm right here... I'm not going anywhere."

She hugged her beloved lover and whispered, "Don't be afraid."

Even if a man can conquer the world on horseback, achieve great success on the battlefield, and command power in the court, in the end he still needs to be comforted by a woman at certain times.

People are not steel. Even swords made of steel need to be maintained with oil from time to time.

Men conquer the world, women conquer men...it has been like this since ancient times.

A place of comfort is not necessarily a hero's grave, nor does it necessarily extinguish the hero's ambitions. It can also be a place of peace and tranquility for them to regroup and relax.
