Gu Qingshan looked at the golden sword icon and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
——In the ancient times, in order to create a closed loop of time and space, the God of War interface left him, returned to the last moment of his previous life, and took his past self back to the day of high school graduation.
Although the God of War interface is gone, it has left a replica version of the "God of War Skills", which is this icon.
This icon has experienced the test of the earth world together with itself, and the battle between the gods and wild monsters, the golden dagger on the icon has become longer.
"Have you thought about it? Which one should you choose?" Xuying asked.
Gu Qingshan said: "Compared to these options, I actually want to know who you are."
Xuying stood opposite him and said softly: "This problem is not within the scope of the technique."
Gu Qingshan probed: "Are you me at a certain point in time?"
"No." Xuying said.
"So, are you me in some parallel world?" Gu Qingshan asked again.
The shadow said: "That's not true - Crab is right about one thing. Parallel worlds are a deception, but what it doesn't say is that real things and sentient beings are scattered in all parallel worlds - this world is indeed outside the inner world. , the strongest real world.”
Gu Qingshan was shocked when he heard this.
He said quickly: "It's also like the fragments of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After being shattered, they were broken into countless pieces and scattered in the parallel world like a sea of stars."
The evil ghost world promotes the destruction of parallel worlds and hits the eternal abyss with the erosion of fate.
——They may have been in a parallel world!
"You reacted very quickly. Now you have to make a choice." Xuying pointed at the three options in the void.
The surrounding scene began to tremble slightly.
"This spell cannot last for long, and I am only a temporary existence. I cannot answer too many of your questions. You have to make a decision within ten minutes, otherwise you will lose this opportunity once the spell ends. " Xuying urged.
Gu Qingshan nodded slightly.
In fact, there is nothing to hesitate. Although the first two options sound powerful, when it comes to strength, as long as you work hard, you can use other methods to realize these two abilities sooner or later.
The ability to see the future is actually the most unreliable and will be deceived if used too much.
Gu Qingshan will always remember how the Earth God died.
It did not see its own death in the future, so it lost some caution and died in the past.
This matter is actually the real future of its destiny.
Also, Ms. Eternal Sand once said that she could see several different futures from herself, but after she made new decisions, those futures became more.
Gu Qingshan whispered:
"The future is illusory, and trying to understand the future is actually a paradox."
"Paradox?" Xuying asked doubtfully.
Gu Qingshan said slowly: "The causes that sentient beings make now determine their future results, but sentient beings are fickle. Many people don't know what will happen when they really stand at the crossroads of fate. Do."
"Have you ever seen such a thing?" Xuying asked.
Gu Qingshan showed a look of reminiscence.
The moment when hundreds of millions of dead people came to the world to support the battle reappeared before his eyes.
"...I once had many comrades-in-arms. They were all heinous people in hell, but at a certain critical moment, they made a decision that even I didn't expect."
"I am very grateful to them, and I also know that the future is ultimately in everyone's hands. If we act in public, the future will change."
Xuying said: "So you don't want to choose this option."
"Yes," Gu Qingshan continued: "As for the ability to travel in dimensions, you can indeed escape for your life at critical moments, but if you do it too much, people will become timid."
"So I choose-"
"Wait a minute!" Xuying suddenly said.
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
The shadow stretched out his hand and clicked repeatedly in the void.
"I didn't expect that your knowledge has reached this point. It seems that I must give you something more real."
On the God of War interface, the two options "Eye of Reality" and "Dimension Travel" gradually merged together and turned into a brand new icon.
On this icon, a long shining river is drawn.
"This is a brand new ability formed by the fusion of two abilities: Meteor Return." Xuying said.
"What is this ability?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"The moment before death, you will go back to a certain time in the past and start it all over again." Xuying said softly.
"——It can only be used seven times, but if you are careful, you can survive safely for a long, long time." Xuying added again.
Gu Qingshan was silent for a long time.
"This is an immortal amulet, and you just gave it to me?" he asked softly.
——To be able to fuse two God of War options in this way and finally turn it into a nearly immortal "falling star", you must know the God of War interface very well.
The shadow didn't deny it.
It points to the void -
There, two icons stand side by side.
A long shining river, this is the return of the meteorite.
A golden dagger, this is the compass.
Xuying said slowly: "I want to remind you that with the 'Meteor Return', you will have seven chances to come back. You will be able to predict what is about to happen in advance in the long years - these are all Things that have already happened will not change as long as you don’t change them, which is safer than peeking into the future.”
"This ability will help you overcome all difficulties, allow you to spend countless happy hours, enjoy all the beautiful things, reach the pinnacle of your life, and become a real big shot in the turbulence of the void - or you don't want to live like that, either. You can be a hermit and focus on living your own life.”
After Xuying finished speaking, he pointed back at the golden dagger.
Gu Qingshan's eyes also fell on the golden dagger.
Phantom continued:
"'Compass' is different. If you want to know who you are, you will embark on an extremely long and arduous road - you need to fight with all your strength, so that you have the possibility of survival. Every day you open the door Eyes, you have to make countless efforts and expend all your wisdom in order to take a step forward, and you will often fall, and sometimes you have to give up some precious things. Your enemies will become more and more numerous and become more and more difficult to deal with. You’ll be covered in bruises, and you’ll die if you’re not careful along the way.”
"Maybe one day, you really succeed and get to the end."
"But even so, what you gain is just knowing one thing."
"That's who you are."
Xuying put down his hand and said calmly: "I have clearly explained the pros and cons of the two options. There is not much time left. Now, please make the final choice."
Gu Qingshan raised his hand and pointed at the golden dagger.
"Why?" Xuying asked.
"I don't know what others think, but I have always felt that there are many shackles in life, such as happiness and peace." Gu Qingshan said.
"Happiness? Peace? Do you think they are shackles?" Xuying repeated.
"Yes, living in the world is a very real thing. You can easily feel a lot of pain and a lot of helplessness, especially in this era of doomsday. People have had enough of all the hardships and torture. Many Everyone longs for peace and happiness.”
Having said this, Gu Qingshan glanced at his young self.
The lonely figure stood in front of the window, missing his deceased parents and feeling confused about his future.
The shadow looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Gu Qingshan sighed and continued: "I also enjoy happiness and peace, but pain is a real sword. It will constantly remind me that I can't live in a dream, lie in my comfort zone and enjoy happiness, and can't rely on something. Special abilities stop there.”
His voice was a bit hard: "People cannot be trapped in peace and happiness, but must stay angry, stand up, run, fight, and use strength and faith to protect those precious things. For this, we must become stronger and never stand still." , even if I am covered in blood or even pay my life for it, I must keep moving forward, only in this way can I feel that I am truly alive."
The shadow was silent for a while.
"Sometimes a stable life is not a sin." Xuying said softly.
"Of course it's not a sin. I also agree with the balance between work and rest - in fact, I also like cooking," Gu Qingshan said, "But the most important thing is your heart. You must know in your heart that you are more than this, and that you have something you really want to do. , that thing is the meaning of your life, and you have to fight for it."
Gu Qingshan stopped talking.
In the room, there was a gentle sigh.
Xuying shook his head, no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand and pressed on the golden dagger icon.
"There is no turning back. Are you sure you want to choose 'Compass'?" Xuying asked.
"I'm sure." Gu Qingshan said.
The shadow lightly clicked on the golden sword icon.
Fiery golden light enveloped the room.
On the God of War interface, a brand new icon is born!
A line of small firefly characters appeared quickly:
"The new function 'Compass' is being generated, please wait ten seconds."
"ten,"
"Nine,"
"eight,"
…
Taking advantage of this little time, Xuying walked up to Gu Qingshan and looked at him quietly.
She suddenly reached out her hand and gently touched Gu Qingshan's face.
That elusive and ethereal voice gradually became real——
"My child, I wanted to leave you a stable life, but now that you have become a real man, I respect your decision."
Gu Qingshan's expression changed drastically and he lowered his head to look at the shadow.
A kind face that only existed in the depths of memory gradually became clear.
"The situation was too dangerous and I couldn't take you away. You were too young to survive..."
Tears flowed.
Her eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.
The golden light surged endlessly, covering everything around it.
Her figure gradually disappeared.
The voice of the God of War interface then sounded:
"'Compass' has been activated."
"From now on, you can explore the truth of everything."
After the interface finished speaking, silence returned.
In the endless brilliant light, Gu Qingshan stood blankly in the narrow room, motionless.
Behind him, the young man looked out the window at the steel city, still silent.
After a long time, a whisper came out softly:
"Mother……"
