No one knows the answer to this question...except Meng Xizhou.
The fog of the Red Lake didn't exist for her, so in theory, if she walked far enough, she could see the other side of the Red Lake.
In fact, there is nothing on the other side of the Red Lake. There is only a simple wooden house.
No one would have thought that the legendary God of Light would live in such an extremely primitive building. Meng Xizhou stopped.
She had no choice but to move on. Once she got here, she was the place closest to God. The water of the Red Lake is immersed in countless ancient text formations.
She had a premonition that if she took another step forward... the formations in the lake would explode. What will be the consequences of touching the restrictions imposed by the God himself?
She didn't know, and she didn't want to know. "Kamizu-sama."
Meng Xizhou took a breath, her voice was not loud, because she knew that the sound in the entire divine realm could be heard by the throne.
"I am coming."
After she finished speaking, she waited quietly.
The starry night is like an oil painting, with scattered glow falling on the lake. Suddenly, a breeze blows, and the glow fades away.
The cabin opened.
A figure slowly opened the door. It was an old man wearing a white robe and his white hair neatly tied up. His face was very pale and his eyes were sunken.
He raised his head and looked at the world outside.
Then he lowered his head and looked at Mengxizhou above the lake in the distance.
Guangming City today is very similar to Nagano back then.
Thousands of eyes fell on this.
Meng Xizhou wanted to see the light, and everyone also wanted to see the light... What everyone was concerned about was what happened to the "disease" of the God of Light.
Before the journey to the west, many people speculated that this so-called "serious illness" was probably false. But there are two ways to fake it.
The longer the God of Light doesn't show up, the more people will think in the worst direction.
It is not just the large envoys from various continents who have such thoughts. Even the Holy Inquisitors within the Temple of Light will inevitably feel uneasy.
Even Meng Xizhou, who is a goddess, wants to know the answer. And now, she already knows.
"Your body seems to be very weak..."
Meng Xizhou looked at the old man. It only took her a second to confirm the identity of the person in front of her. The moment he showed up.
The countless glows of the Red Lake are surging towards the body of the God of Light. This is the power that the body of "god" possesses, which transcends any mortal realm. Even a lucky person like her who was born with the light, after the compatibility It is far from comparable to it.
The sky tonight was originally very dim.
But the old man pushed away the wooden house and stood in front of the lake. The other side of the red lake lit up, as if the sun had risen. Compared with him, Meng Xizhou lost his color.
But... nothing has changed in the starry night at this moment. After the God of Light opened the wooden door, the new sun did not appear, and the miracles did not continue.
From this point, we can judge that the old man in front of us is far from his peak. "No one can fight time... and I am no exception."
The old man smiled. At this moment, his face gradually disappeared among the countless blazing lights, leaving only large white spots.
Meng Xizhou no longer looked at the sun on the other side of the Red Lake. Now that the throne of God has appeared.
Then it would be considered a kind of blasphemy if she continued to stare.
Meng Xizhou lowered his head slightly and said softly: "There are many things I don't understand."
The old man said: "You don't understand why I watched you being taken into a secret prison. You don't understand why I don't care about Gao Yu stealing the blood of the [Immortal]. You don't understand why I stay here all the time and don't want to go out to meet you." Meet the world..."
Gao Yi is the name of the great elder.
Except for the God of Light and Yuan Yang, not many people know the name of the Great Elder, because he has lived for so long that the later Holy Inquisitors have forgotten the name of the Great Elder.
Everyone calls him by his honorable title. "yes."
Meng Xizhou said: "I really don't understand what you said."
The old man said: "Come here.
Meng Xizhou raised his head slightly, his eyes a little confused.
The old man standing on the other side of the light waved to her gently and said with a smile: "You will understand everything when you come here."
Meng Xizhou hesitated for a second, then she took a step slowly.
In the last dozen steps leading to the other side of the Red Lake, there were countless taboo ancient texts floating under the lake... But at this moment, these ancient texts did not react.
Meng Xizhou reached the other side so smoothly.
She stood next to the old man, her expression still bewildered. Standing next to Guangming, she felt the majesty and warmth she had not seen for a long time.
But she still didn't know the answers to these questions. "look."
The old man put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and asked, "Do you see the answer now?" "..."
An old man and a young man stood in the glow on the other side of the Red Lake.
Meng Xizhou looked hard for a long time. Her eyesight was very good, and the fog of the Red Lake did not exist for her. But after looking for a long time, she saw nothing.
"I can't see it and I don't understand it." So she could only respond honestly.
"You are now standing on the other side of the Red Lake, standing next to the light... You have reached the "end". "
The old man slowly turned his head, looked at the goddess, and asked seriously: "Now that we have reached the "end", does the road we walked still matter? "
Meng Xizhou was silent.
"Gao Yu stole the blood of the [immortal] in order to control disaster and ominousness... In the end, he died from the backlash. The old man continued: "Everything he wanted to do failed."
After these two answers came out, Meng Xizhou understood everything.
She said softly: "So it's not that you don't know, you know everything, and you just watch." "Yes. I just watched."
The old man's tone was as calm as ever: "What I have done in the past ten years... is to watch. Why should I go to see the world? Just like the Red Lake you are looking at now, every inch of the lake here has its own The wind blows it into waves without my help. In the same way, every living being in this world has its own "end" that they will reach. What I do is watch them reach their respective "end". Do not interfere if possible. "qs
"If you come forward, many fewer people will die."
Meng Xizhou said: "Gao Yi has done many wrong things in recent years."
"On this lake, every time a few ripples disappear, a few more will appear."
The old man said softly: "If you really want to calculate "gains and losses," then you have to consider what you can see and what you can't see. ***After the Prelude, many things will disappear. Some people will survive, but one day in the future, more people will die. "
"Then you can intervene a second time." Meng Xizhou said.
"Then there will be countless times, and the results may be worse each time." Meng Xizhou could not refute.
"I know what you want to say today."
The old man spoke again, "First of all, I am still alive...Although my condition is not good, I know everything that is happening outside. Jia Wei is dead, Gao Yu is dead, and the team sent by the temple to the ice sea has disappeared Over the years, I have watched everything happening in the outside world from the other side of the Red Lake, but I only watched and did not interfere."
"I can clearly hear the breathing of every creature in the divine realm."
"Many years ago, I started a long calculation. All the inconvenient predictions were just to make everything freeze at a specific moment.
"In my opinion, the really important thing...is for you to stand in front of me with determination." "This is very important, more important than all the things put together."
"The reason why I don't go to see sentient beings is because I really don't have much time. My energy only allows me to do one or two things."
「
If Guangming City is destined to see the sunset, then I hope that this sunset can only be seen by those standing on the other side. "
He slowly moved his head and said, "That's you." "The throne..."
After listening to these long words, Meng Xizhou's eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock. "Yes, in my heart, there is no more suitable "successor" than you. "
The old man lowered his eyebrows and smiled and said, "When Gu Nanfeng came to Guangming City, I gave him a token. At that time, I was very optimistic about the young man named Song Ci... Unfortunately, He doesn't seem to be interested in the Spark of Light. Choosing a successor is not good news worth showing off, after all, it means I'm going to die soon."
Meng Xizhou was silent.
After a long time, she spoke: "You mean, I will become the successor of "Light Fire"? "Yes, you will become the next God of Light."
The old man said calmly: "If there is no accident...when I die, you will be the God of Light." "Accident?"
Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by accident?" "The weight of fire cannot be carried by ordinary people."
The old man lowered his eyes and said, "Even if you are born in harmony with the light and are loved by God, you may not be able to successfully smelt the "light fire". Not only do you need a powerful extraordinary source of support, you also need an extremely tenacious will, plus a little bit of luck..."
A brief pause.
The old man continued: "... Only then can you become the sun."
Meng Xizhou took a deep breath and asked seriously: "So what should I do?" "Do what you should do, do what the sun should do."
The old man chuckled and said, "Didn't you ask yourself this question countless times in the secret prison? The answer lies in your heart.
"I······"
Meng Xizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I come to see you this time, and I have one more request." The old man stopped talking and looked at the woman.
Meng Xizhou said: "I hope you can open the restrictions of the [Forbidden Library]." According to the world's knowledge, the biggest miracle in Guangming City is Sunset Mountain and the Red Lake. But actually...
Just as the temple is built around the Red Lake of Sunset Mountain, Sunset Mountain and Red Lake exist to protect the forbidden library.
There are countless books in this library.
It is said that there are answers to all the questions in the world - as long as you are destined to have the answer.
Then...you can find it in the library.
The power in [Forbidden Library] has nothing to do with light and fire. It belongs to the illusory "fate" and "karma."
However, the ancestor of light who first came to this ancient city 600 years ago protected it at all levels and set up countless restrictions. Only the successors of each light god have the power to open it.
"You want to open the [Forbidden Library]..."
The old man narrowed his eyes: "I remember you went to see it once many years ago, and now you want to go see it a second time?" "Yes, and no."
Meng Xizhou said: "I would like to ask you to open the [Forbidden Library] and let everyone in the world take a look."
