Ren Jie's eyes widened as he looked at the scenes presented in the world of ink and wash, with chills running down his spine.
What he heard from others was far less true than what he saw with his own eyes. He was glad that he was not born in that era...
In this case, even survival is a problem. How can we organize effective forces to fight against the demon clan and the mirage?
"Even you...will fall into the mirage illusion?"
Ye He sighed: "No one can escape, including me. In the illusion, I experienced all the things I feared in my life, over and over again, and was tortured until my will collapsed."
"Some people begin to be afraid of the coming of night, and they begin to chase the sun and become sun chasers, just to stop falling into dreams..."
"Soon we realized that this was not something that one clan could solve alone. We even found the Spirit clan and wanted the two clans to join forces to kill the mirage..."
"We are the strongest group of people in the clan, and everyone places their hopes on us. I know very well that I am standing at a juncture in history. If this situation is not broken, the road between the human and spiritual clans will be cut off. Cut off and lose the possibility of leading to the future.”
Ren Jie swallowed: "What happened next? What did you do? Why will the world forget you?"
But Ye He answered the question incorrectly, his eyes full of melancholy:
"Do you know the Great Lord Qingze of the Spirit Clan? One of the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Clan, a very strong guy..."
Ren Jie nodded: "I do know that the tenth-level powerful man of the Spirit Clan fell in the battle of the Mirage Monster Devouring the Moon. He was one of the three Spirit Lords who died in the battle of the Spirit Clan. However, the cause of his death was unknown and there was no trace left. Is it possible to write down a record..."
Ye He said lightly: "The two of us are very good friends. In the early years, before I had reached the tenth level of power, we met when I went on an adventure in the spiritual realm. By then, he was already the master of the spirit. "
"Our previous friendship had nothing to do with race, status, or class. It was just that we had similar interests and we could chat easily. I often went to Qingshan Daze to collect and paint, and he also took me to experience many scenery in the spiritual realm that I had never seen before..."
"Everyone knows that Lord Qingze has fallen, but they don't know why he died, but I know."
"He died for me, for the sake of the world, and he was willing to die!"
Ren Jie's scalp was numb. Could it be that the cause of the death of Master Qingze was involved?
You must know that the body of Great Master Qingze is a vast Daze Wetland, accounting for almost one-tenth of the area of the spiritual realm.
After the death of Master Qingze, Qingze's red land was cut off for thousands of miles, cut off from life, and turned into an endless desert, a forbidden area of life...
etc!
Is the desert where Mo Ran said he was going to be Qingze?
Ye He smiled sadly: "It's the 30th day since the Battle of the Mirage Monster Eats the Moon. The whole world is in ruins and people are in dire straits. I know that if this continues, everything will be over..."
"But under the torture of the mirage illusion, I did not gain nothing. It actually made me take two steps forward, and I thought of a way to contain the mirage!"
"Although I can't kill him, I can stop him from doing whatever he wants and end this."
"But this matter, my strength alone is not enough, and it is impossible to complete it."
Ren Jie frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart:
"what way…"
Ye He clenched his fists unconsciously: "That is to use my existence as the pen, experience as the ink, and blend everything I have into that wisp of ink!"
"Then use the source of life of Great Lord Qingze to grind ink for me, suppress the mirages, and write my own rules!"
Ren Jie's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.
Is that why people have forgotten the existence of Ye He? As if she had never been in this world?
Ye He's face was full of gentleness:
"Qingze agreed to my request without any hesitation. He just wanted to end it all, even if it cost him his own life to exchange for the future of the Spiritual Tribe."
"But he still feels guilty, because as long as Qingze dies, the source of life will dry up, and the hundreds of millions of spiritual people living in the green mountains and swamps will also die together and turn into a lifeless red land."
"Qingze doesn't want to leave just like that. He wants to leave a seed behind, a seed that can rekindle the vitality of Qingshan Daze."
"So the two of us made an agreement to die together to suppress the mirage. If we still have some energy left, we will leave a seed of life for Qingshan Daze. This can be regarded as a thank you for Qingze's sacrifice and dedication."
Ren Jie was stunned: "So... the existence of Mo Ran is that seed? Is it the continuation of the power of the two of you. Returning to Qingshan Daze and rebuilding vitality is the mission that Mo Ran has been born with?"
No wonder Mo Ran wanted to complete the spiritual enlightenment journey and return to the spirit realm of the spirit clan no matter what.
Ye He nodded: "This is a favor I owe Qingze, and I want to repay him..."
"So before setting off, I went to see Guagua for the last time, left the treasure map, and made a promise that as long as she did a hundred good things, I would come back."
"I know that no matter whether I win or lose, I will never come back, but... I don't want Gua Gua to leave with me. Keeping her is just proof that I have been in this world..."
Ren Jie clenched his teeth, feeling as if his heart was being twisted.
Ye He raised his head and looked at the sky: "I still went, left Guagua behind, and headed for my own destination. High in the sky, Qingze and I looked at the bright moon together."
"I turned my existence into a pen with my own hands, and turned all my experiences from my birth into ink. Qingze used his life to grind the ink for me..."
"You know? Before I started writing, I thought a lot. I was also afraid...I was afraid of living up to Qingze's sacrifice, afraid of living up to everyone's expectations of me, and even more afraid that my death would be meaningless."
"No one knows better than me the weight contained in this wisp of ink. Once I write this, my existence will completely disappear from this world, and no one will remember me."
"All traces I left in this world will cease to exist, and I will disappear from people's memories. My friends will forget me, and my parents will not even remember that there was a child like me..."
Ye He's eyes were red and tears fell like pearls, but he looked at Ren Jie with a smile, his smile was so sad.
"I thought I was mentally prepared. It would be good to be forgotten by the world. I no longer have to bear heavy responsibilities and people's expectations. My life has been wonderful enough and I can finally take a break. But in the end, I Having done such a great thing, that’s enough... isn’t it?”
"But...that's not it? I want to be remembered, I want to be known, I don't want it to end like this, I don't want no one to miss me after I die, I don't want to leave alone, I really don't want to..."
"But I can't help it... That's the only way I can contain the mirage. Some things have to be done by someone. If I don't go, who will?"
"A person will die three times in his life. The last death is when the last person in the world who remembers you forgets you. But I didn't expect that I would die so completely."
Ren Jie looked at Ye He with red eyes, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.
There is never any awe-inspiring heroism in this world. It is just a fragile and insignificant person who overcomes fear and takes up responsibility...
So what about the prestige? Ye He...she is also a human being.
Ye He cried: "I still put pen to paper, every word breaks the illusion of the mirage, and pulls everyone out of the nightmare."
"One word is forbidden, and it is unforgettable, so that the mirage can no longer shine the moonlight into Daxia and the spiritual realm, and pull people into the mirage fantasy world."
"This is all I can do. From that moment on, there will be no more Ye He in the world..."
"Life is like a great adventure. From the moment we were born, you and I have embarked on a journey. Where this journey will go and how this adventure will end is all up to us. It's just me. I never thought that I would end up like this..."
"Really...really...so unwilling..."
Ren Jie took a deep breath, with a solemn expression: "You have not yet died in the true sense. Mr. Sima Qing remembers you, Guagua remembers you, I... also remember you, and know everything about you, including the mirage that eats the moon. The truth about war!”
"Never forget until death!"
Ye He smiled while crying, and rubbed Ren Jie's little head lovingly, his eyes filled with emotion:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ I still said it, told you all this. I thought I could endure the pain of being forgotten by the world. Even if the world doesn't have me, it can still run as usual, but... I just won't accept it. …”
"Perhaps leaving Guagua and Fang Moyan behind is my last struggle, right?"
"For that little girl, ending the battle between the mirage and the moon-devouring monster must have been a very powerful thing, right?"
Ren Jie said seriously: "You... are really amazing!"
If it were you, in the same situation, would you really have the courage to make the same choice as Ye He?
At the cost of being forgotten by the world, in exchange for the future of the human race...
Ye He rubbed his eyes: "It doesn't matter anymore... As long as someone still remembers me..."
Ren Jie clenched his fists tightly, and the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination. No one knew what decision he had made at this moment.
"So... that square inkstone fell here, and the remaining drop of ink turned into the ink dye it has today?"
"You used the treasure map to bring me and Guagua here because you wanted to..."
Ye He said seriously: "My existence has disappeared, but the favor I owe Qingze has not been repaid. Without his sacrifice, I cannot ban the mirage."
"Now Qingshan Daze is still thousands of miles away. I hope you can help Mo Ran successfully enlighten her soul and complete her spiritual journey. Qingshan Daze is the place she should go."
"Whether it succeeds or not, that Fang Moyan will belong to you, how about it? It is my request..."
Before he finished speaking, Ren Jie nodded heavily and said:
"I help!"
Ye He was startled, and his smile was full of gentleness: "Gua Gua really chose the right person. You came here with good intentions... Then I leave this matter to you..."
"This body is just a trace of my true meaning left in the inkstone. It has been worn away by time. It can only be revealed with the power of Guagua..."
"I will tell you everything and I will have no regrets. It's time to leave completely..."
Ren Jie was startled: "What about Gua Gua?"
