Omar and Caroline were immersed in the separation four years ago, until a knock on the door downstairs woke them up.
Omar waved his hand and continued to sit on the recliner: "Go down and do your work."
"I'll call you later when I'm cooking."
Caroline dropped a word, then turned and went downstairs.
"Here, who is it?"
She was unprepared, walked over and opened the door, and saw a dusty young man standing outside the door.
The familiar face made her freeze on the spot.
Xu Cheng smiled and waved: "I'm back."
Caroline stared at him blankly, then suddenly took two steps back and held her forehead with her hand.
"No, I must be dreaming..."
Because of this situation, she had seen it countless times in her dreams.
Seeing Caroline looking suspicious of life, Xu Cheng felt both funny and a little guilty.
He walked into the home, closed the door, and blocked visits from neighbors. Then he opened his hands and held Caroline in his arms.
"This is not a dream, I'm back!"
Real touch, real body temperature, and dreamy sounds and tastes.
Caroline stared at him blankly, tears suddenly bursting out of her eyes. She also opened her hands and hugged Xu Cheng tightly, burying her face in his arms and whimpering.
"What's the matter?"
Although Omar is old, her hearing is still very sensitive. When she heard the movement downstairs, she hurriedly left the balcony and walked down.
Because he was walking too fast, he suddenly stepped on the ground and slipped out of the stairs, falling straight from the second floor.
Just as his head was about to fall to the ground, Xu Cheng rushed over and stretched out his arms to hug him.
Omar was a little shocked. He stared at Xu Cheng's familiar face with wide eyes and asked in a trembling voice.
"You brat, am I dreaming?"
Xu Cheng finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Would you like me to pinch you to see if you are dreaming?"
He put Omar down from his hands and felt a little sad when he saw that he had aged so much after not seeing him for four years.
Omar's eyes were red, and her skinny hands were tightly grasping Xu Cheng's arm. She was obviously so happy that she was about to jump up, but she still said stubbornly: "You, you brat, you still know how to come back?!"
Xu Cheng was about to explain when suddenly there was another knock on the door.
Caroline quickly wiped away the tears on her face and walked over to open the door. Then, she heard a surprised voice.
"Who are you?"
"Is this Locke's home?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Cheng subconsciously looked back and saw Shilin standing outside the door carrying luggage.
He was so shocked that he lost his voice: "Why are you here?"
After he left Arnold, he immediately rushed back to Sauron non-stop, and Shilin actually appeared behind him, which meant that she was on the road back to Sauron earlier than Xu Cheng.
"The fortress is gone, and I don't have any goals in life. I might as well retire from the army and plan to find a place to retire. I heard that Sauron has a nice scenery and is suitable for retirement. You happen to be here, so I came over to keep you company. "
Shilin's face, which had never smiled before, actually showed a charming and feminine smile at this moment: "You won't drive me away, will you?"
Caroline looked at this woman who was as beautiful as herself, and then at Xu Cheng.
The joy of reunion suddenly faded away a lot.
Xu Cheng looked uncomfortable, as if he wanted to complain but didn't know who to complain to.
He chose to take a different path from the God Killer. Will he return to the persona of a scumbag?
Omar reached out from behind, patted Xu Cheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old man, I had seven or eight confidantes back then, and you only have two. You have to keep working hard."
Xu Cheng wanted to cover the mouth of this disrespectful guy to stop him from adding fuel to his own fire.
But the reality did not change according to his will. Under Caroline's hostile eyes, Shireen stepped into this home with her luggage and never left again.
…………
Since then, Xu Cheng settled in the capital of Sauron and lived a peaceful life.
Fifteen years later, Omar finally died.
200 years later, even Shirin, a believer in life, finally reached the end of her life.
500 years later, half-elf Caroline breathed her last on the hospital bed.
Only Xu Cheng, whose body had been strengthened by the gods, was still alive, but alone.
Fifty years after Caroline's death, the War of Conquest broke out.
A god named the Great Lord emerged from the sky.
Her first disciple, named the Golden High King, led an invincible army, flattened countless empires, and swept across the entire world.
The gods all over the sky either died, fled, or hid.
The Shadow Goddess disappeared, and more than a dozen countries she protected were also captured by the Golden High King.
When the capital of King Sauron was besieged by the golden army, the king chose to resist and defended the city for three days and three nights before it was finally breached.
As an ordinary civilian, Xu Cheng did not participate in the war. He saw the Golden Supreme King's car in the crowd, which was a huge golden figure in the clouds.
Xu Cheng had seen this scene among the remains of the God-Slayer in the Lingzi Tomb.
The God Killer wandered the earth for hundreds of years. Finally, a city kindly took him in, but it was attacked by an army led by the Golden High King.
The Godslayer eventually died in the battle to defend the city, at the hands of the Golden High King.
It was a life of great turbulence and celebrity, but Xu Cheng did not regret his choice. It was good to be unknown and live a peaceful life like now.
When this idea came to his mind, the manager's beep sounded suddenly.
【mission completed】
[Rewards have been distributed: random enhancement +3, mission points +3]
Seeing that the mission was completed, Xu Cheng felt calm in his heart. Hundreds of years of life had long made his emotions like a pool of stagnant water, without much ups and downs.
He just felt slightly emotional that this long journey of hundreds of years was finally over.
The whole world suddenly turned into darkness.
Xu Cheng did not leave the Gate of Hell immediately. On the contrary, he came to a void space with nothing around him except for a figure standing in front of him whose face could not be seen clearly.
The figure stood still, and Xu Cheng didn't move either. The two sides just stared at each other silently.
This figure, the Watcher mentioned in the mission, has never appeared for hundreds of years.
But Xu Cheng had already guessed his true identity - God Killer Locke.
Xu Cheng absorbed the two arms of the God Killer, along with the incomplete consciousness remaining in his arms.
It was in this special environment at the Gate of Hell that Locke's incomplete consciousness finally emerged.
After a long time, Xu Cheng finally took the initiative to speak: "I made a mess of your life. I'm really sorry."
He was originally supposed to be a great god-killer, but Xu Cheng voluntarily gave up his power and became an ordinary person.
"No, I should thank you."
The voice of the God-Slayer was gentle and slightly cheerful: "It was you who fulfilled my dream for me and made up for the regrets in my heart. Rather than being a God-Slayer, I would rather be with my family and spend my life peacefully. .”
Watching his adoptive father die in front of his eyes, accidentally killing the senior sister who loved him deeply, and his beloved wife was a demon. This kind of pain has been entangled in the God Killer's life for hundreds of years, and he can't let it go even after his death.
So he was very, very envious, envious of the choice Xu Cheng made in the Gate of Hell, which was another kind of life that he could hope for but could not seek.
"You have my approval, so these two powers will be inherited by you. I hope you can use them to transcend my miserable life and pursue your own future!"
As soon as the God Killer finished speaking, the manager's prompt tone also sounded.
[The right hand that breaks the realm of extinction: lifts the seal and obtains: The power of Akeso]
[The left hand that cuts off the end: lift the seal and obtain: Wrath of Sartos]
The two seals that sealed the powers of the gods were finally completely released, and Xu Cheng finally gained the powers of the other two gods besides the God of Fire.
Then he discovered that he had made a mistake before. His right hand was the power of Akeso, representing life, and his left hand was the power of Sartos, representing destruction.
Xu Cheng looked up at the figure in front of him: "Will you disappear?"
"I am a person who has died a long time ago. I can't hold on for long with this little regret left behind."
The God Killer raised his hand and waved to Xu Cheng: "Goodbye, thank you for giving Caroline a happy life, oh, and Ms. Shirin, even though I didn't know her before I was alive."
With a teasing voice, the figure of the God Killer completely disappeared.
Xu Cheng silently looked at the place where he disappeared. After hundreds of years, he could not tell whether he was Xu Cheng or Locke. Watching the other "self" disappear, his heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.
After a long time, he sighed: "Go back."
The entire void world turned into a whirlpool, sucking Xu Cheng's consciousness into it and spinning continuously.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xu Cheng felt like a cannonball that was shot away, flying forward quickly.
He opened his eyes suddenly and found that he flew directly out of the gate of hell and appeared in a dark underground cave.
Seeing Xu Cheng come out of the gate of hell, Yin Lisabai, who was guarding outside, was relieved. She had been guarding outside for more than three months. Although it was less than the agreed half-year period, she had been worried about Xu Cheng's safety.
The Gate of Hell is too dangerous. In ancient times, no matter how amazing and talented the brave man was, he might be hated by it, and even the weak gods would not be able to get out.
Now seeing Xu Cheng appear, Yin Lisabai finally let go of her worries.
Xu Cheng flew over from the air, but never stopped, and fell straight to the ground. Lisa Yin directly opened her hands to catch him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She was very surprised. Could it be that Xu Cheng was injured and couldn't use his abilities?
Xu Cheng was held in the hands of Princess Yin Lisabai, feeling a little embarrassed: "I have been an ordinary person for hundreds of years, and I forgot that I can fly."
Yin Lisabai stared at his face and suddenly asked: "What should the national football team do to get a chance to enter the World Cup?"
Xu Cheng thought for a while and replied: "Buy tickets!"
This was the secret code they had agreed on before he entered the gate of hell, so as not to be reskinned by the demon inside.
"Correct answer."
"Then why don't you put me down?"
"Because you are not in the right state!"
Yin Lisabai's expression was serious, and she stretched out her hand to press Xu Cheng's forehead: "Don't move!"
