Zhu Yuan's words made everyone present shiver, and the fear between their brows became more intense.
"But it doesn't matter. You may not necessarily suffer such a fate." But at this time, Zhu Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said this.
When the already desperate people heard this, they were like travelers hanging on a cliff grasping life-saving straws.
There was light in their dim pupils, and they all looked at Zhu Yuan, the desire in their eyes was extremely hot.
Zhu Yuan showed a troubled look at the right time.
"But this matter is not something I can decide." He said this and cast his eyes on Chu Qingxiao.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they all reacted the next moment.
Zhu Yuan said that once Chu Qingxiao absorbs divine power, the blood of Zhuyin God will be sealed, the awakened True God Zhuyin will fall into deep sleep again, and the realm of eternal night will disappear.
But if Chu Qingxiao doesn't do this, does it mean that the realm of eternal night can always exist and they can continue to live.
"The cycle of life and death is a destiny determined by heaven."
"The dead souls cannot rest in peace. As long as they live in the world, sooner or later they will be swallowed up by the turbid air of heaven and earth and turn into evil spirits. They only know how to kill and have no wisdom."
"Are there many such examples throughout the ages?" Song Guicheng spoke sternly at this moment, causing everyone who tried to say something to swallow the words that came to their lips.
"What's more, in this eternal night world, the evil energy is surging, which is more terrifying than the turbid air of the world outside. If you stay here, you will be transformed into Zhu Yin's puppet in the end."
"Everyone, have you ever thought that we were harmed by the candle's shadow?"
"It's fine that I can't avenge this great revenge after death, but do I still want to help the evil tyrants? If Zhu Yin is revived, then how many people like you and me will be killed by Zhu Yin in our Dayu territory? "
Song Guicheng's words were full of righteousness, and everyone who heard these words also showed hesitation.
And this was obviously not what Zhu Yuan wanted to see.
He frowned and turned to look at Song Guicheng: "Commander Song!"
"Not everyone in this world needs to be righteous in order to survive."
"You are General Longxiang, and you and I are mortal enemies. Although I hate you, I also admire opponents like you."
"But you can't impose the responsibilities of your general Long Xiang on them, right?"
"You want to live forever, and I can fulfill your wish to sacrifice your life for righteousness at any time."
"But what does this have to do with everyone in Wuling City?"
"What is the relationship between Dayu Tianxia and Wuling City?"
"You have been besieged for half a year, but have you ever seen a single soldier sent by your royal court? Twelve years is a long enough time for you humans, but what have you been waiting for? A sky hanging Shan's outer disciple? You don't think she will come to help you escape from the sea of suffering, right?"
"Do you want to die again for those who never care about you or even forget you?"
Zhu Yuan's words were extremely inflammatory. The hesitation that had just lit up in the eyes of everyone who heard these words was now covered with anger.
Zhu Yuan was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He said: "To express my apology for hurting you because of my different stance, I also have gifts for you."
He said, stretching out his hand and snapping his fingers.
The black energy around them suddenly surged, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, figures appeared at this moment. They stood around Chu Qingxiao and others, and they were the people of Wuling City.
Everyone was somewhat uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of so many people around them, and their expressions were horrified.
At this time, two figures walked out of the crowd. They were a seven or eight-year-old child holding a beautiful and charming woman.
The child led the woman and jumped up to Cao Shugong. A clean and bright smile appeared on his face: "Dad."
"My mother has recovered from her illness. She said she would take me to build a snowman outside the city tomorrow."
"My mother has never taken me out to play in my life. Will daddy be with us tomorrow?"
Cao Shugong was stunned for a moment and recognized that the people in front of him were his children and his wife.
The woman also came forward and took Cao Shugong's hand, her eyes a little red: "Shu Gong, I have worked hard for you these years..."
"Such a big family depends on you alone to support it..."
"I'm cured now. I can sew clothes for you, cook your favorite meals, and teach Tong'er how to read and write."
"You can also go swimming in the lake, go mountain climbing, see the flow of the Luohe River in Muzhou, and see the yellow sand outside Tongyue Pass. Haven't you always wanted to go? In two days, we will go see it together as a family, okay? ?”
"Stop fighting and come home with us."
The child's tender and innocent voice, and the woman's eyes as gentle as autumn water, made Cao Shugong's heart tremble, and his body also trembled.
The fairy also walked up at this time. She came to Mr. Luo's side and looked at the scholar in front of her: "Taian, do you understand now?"
"We have no choice, we are all dead souls."
"I know you are angry and you must not be able to accept this truth, so I don't want you to know."
"I just want to keep you company. You can be your husband, and I will be by your side. Whether it is a slave who brings you tea or water, or a maid who does laundry and cooking, I just want to be with you. I don't want to look at you." The pain again and again, the despair again and again..."
"Let's go back to the study. You still have so many students waiting for you."
After the fairy said this, he turned around and looked behind him. A group of immature-looking children gathered around him. They called out crisply: "Sir."
Said: "Sir, when will the study open?"
"Sir, I want to hear the story of slaying a dragon and a snake with a sword. When will you tell it again..."
"Sir, the Thousand Character Classic is very long. Can I recite it to you in two days..."
"Sir, my father won't let me come to the academy tomorrow. Can you please help me?"
The children pulled Mr. Luo's clothes and shook them vigorously. The crisp calls and the loving eyes of the woman in front of him made the scholar faintly moved.
More people walked out at this time. They were either friends and relatives of the servants or their wives and children.
They talked about their past experiences and their bright future.
They extended their hands to those present and extended invitations with smiles.
They said, "Let's go home."
Back to that warm and bright home.
You can have a hot meal of noodles or dumplings, a couple of glasses of sake, and then fall asleep.
When I wake up, everything is as usual.
Wuling City's traffic dock, the child is smart and the wife is gentle and virtuous.
There is no need to stay in a dark underground palace, face a group of monsters you have never seen before, or even imagine, and participate in a battle involving the life and death of God.
You are just a government servant, or a servant.
The salary I received in a month was only a few taels of silver.
What do these things have to do with you, and why do you have to go through life and death for it?
As long as you forget everything about today, everything will be peaceful in the years to come.
Zhu Yuan looked at the scene in front of him, and the smile on his lips became even bigger.
He opened his hand and said at this moment: "This is a world that only belongs to my god..."
"He is somewhat different from the current world."
"For example, everything here can be determined by the will of my god."
"Wealth, power, power, everything."
“Here, you don’t have to run around for life, you just need to have fun every day, and you have plenty of time to do whatever you want.”
"You will not be troubled by disease, nor will it be erased by time. As long as my God is forever, you will be forever."
When everyone heard this, their faces seemed to light up with joy. Compared to their fate of death just now, everything Zhu Yuan promised at this moment seemed to put them in heaven.
When Zhu Yuan saw all this, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked at Chu Qingxiao beside him.
Chu Qingxiao's eyes were still full of struggle.
"You have already made a lot of efforts." Zhu Yuan said in a gentle tone at this time.
"You have proven many times that your persistence cannot change anything except bringing despair to them."
"What do you mean?" Chu Qingxiao seemed to hear something in the other party's words, and he asked with a frown.
Zhu Yuan laughed: "Zhuyin Divine Blood is the most precious treasure of my Zhuyin clan. Since being expelled to the Black Abyss, most of the sacred blood has been lost. Our Yinqu clan only has this last sacred blood. Wuling City was destroyed. At that time, our plan was originally to plant divine blood into this land, turn it into a dark realm, and then use the dark realm to extract the power of this earth to awaken our god."
"But you caused us a lot of trouble. You took away the divine blood, and the false god sealed it in your body."
"After several months of siege, we also suffered heavy losses. The remaining Wu Xian were unable to break the seal left by the false god. In the end, they could only use secret methods to summon my dead soul from the realm of eternal night."
"But it's a pity that the dead souls can't interfere too much in this world."
"But this divine blood is the hope of the Yinqi clan."
"By stealing it from the Holy Land, I was already doing a disservice to the clan, and I could not let it be lost, so I sacrificed all the Zhuyin clansmen who were still alive in the city, summoned my god, and opened the realm of eternal night, so that You, me and the dead souls of Wuling City have all entered it."
"But the false god who sealed this thing is a powerful character. Although he has reached the end of his life, the centipede insect is still alive. Even if I drag you into the realm of eternal night, I still can't break the seal. So... …”
"I can only use some small means."
Zhu Yuan's face showed a proud look, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the "little means" in his own words.
"You see, you are a very persistent guy. You believe in justice that you humans often shout in your mouth, but in fact it does not exist."
"I just need to get this not-so-good memory out of their minds, but leave you with some clues."
"Of course you will work hard to find it, and I will cooperate with you to find it."
"Then, when we meet in this underground palace, I will tell you the truth as it is now."
Zhu Yuan's face flushed as he said this, as if he was introducing a masterpiece to everyone, his face full of excitement and enthusiasm.
"Think about it, how desperate you will be when you know that the justice you insist on only results in the destruction of the entire Wuling City."
"And every time you despair, the seal of the divine blood in your body will loosen."
"As long as I repeat the cycle, making you full of hope again and again, and falling into despair again and again, the seal of the divine blood will loosen little by little, just like a embankment corroded by ants. When the looseness reaches a certain point, the seal will collapse."
Chu Qingxiao's face showed a look of disbelief. He looked at Zhu Yuan: "What do you mean..."
"Yes."
"This is not the first time. We have met here many times, and every time, you always surprise me."
Zhu Yuan nodded excitedly. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd. There was a father and son standing there blankly - Butcher Liu and his son Liu Pei.
"Know them, right?"
"Your good neighbor."
"In the first three reincarnations, after you entered the Zhu family compound, you were chased by black armor and hid in your neighbor's house."
"After seeing the weirdness of Hei Jia, this butcher who only knows how to kill pigs actually accompanied you into the underground palace."
"As a reward for his bravery, at the end of each reincarnation, I asked him to witness the miserable state of his son in front of him, hundreds of times."
"I admit that I am a little selfish. After all, he once killed two Yin beasts on the battlefield and injured one of our Wu Xian."
"But the result was good. He quickly accepted the brilliance of Zhuyin and became a believer in my god. You see, how good they are now. The father and son will be together forever."
Zhu Yuan said it lightly, but with just a little imagination, letting a father watch his child die in front of him hundreds of times is enough to make anyone's mind collapse.
"And them." Zhu Yuan's interest seemed to be surprisingly high, and he pointed at Cao Shugong's wife and children.
"You humans have a saying: the love between mother and child is deep."
"In the seventh reincarnation, you found Capt. Cao for help."
"He is indeed a good catcher and very smart. He quickly discovered some abnormalities, and then you all came to the underground palace together. I originally wanted to do the same thing and let the catcher Cao experience the feelings of Butcher Liu."
"But then I thought about it, I have to leave some people in Wuling City for Qing Xiaoli who can make you feel warm, so I let his wife feel the pain of losing her son."
"A woman's heart is softer. After only a hundred times, she has completely lost her temper to resist. You must know that in the beginning, she helped you and Capt. Cao cover your sneaking into the underground palace."
Zhu Yuan said, as if he thought of something, he suddenly slapped his forehead again and looked to the other side where Mr. Luo was.
"By the way, here's the most interesting thing."
"I have always liked your human writings, and I have been studying them over the years. Unfortunately, some of the contents are difficult for me to understand."
"So I wanted to see if I could let Mr. Luo understand the greatness of Zhu Yin first."
"But don't look at Mr. Luo, who looks like a weak and bookish person, but he is very hard-boned. In almost every reincarnation, he has been your very good helper."
"But no matter what method I use, such as making the Fairy Girl suffer some injustice, or letting him repeatedly experience the scene where his students were torn to pieces by Yin beasts, or directly trying all kinds of torture invented by you humans on him, But he didn’t give in.”
"On the other hand, the fairy girl felt sorry for her lover. After seeing him tortured again and again, she chose to surrender and joined Zhuyin. In the next four or five reincarnations, the fairy girl helped a lot, and as a In exchange, I did not use any means against Mr. Luo."
"However, Zhuyin has clear rewards and punishments. Mr. Luo will be exempted from these punishments, but the Fairy Girl will have to bear them."
"You humans have a saying, if you ask what love is in the world, you will learn to make love between life and death."
"I didn't understand much at first, so I wanted to ask Mr. Luo for advice. This is also my original intention to make Mr. Luo convert to my god quickly."
"But later, although Mr. Luo would rather break than bend, I understood the meaning of this sentence in Miss Xianling."
"Tell me, is this the same sentence again, that there is no way out but there is no way out, but there is only one village with dark flowers and dark flowers?"
As Zhu Yuan said this, the smile on his face seemed to be overflowing, morbid and crazy.
But he soon calmed down these expressions and said again: "You see, your persistence is only the source of their pain."
"Now you have a good opportunity to give up your unnecessary persistence and hand over the divine blood."
"Of course you will die, but what does it matter? Your soul can live with them in this realm of eternal night forever."
"You've all been through enough pain!"
"You don't owe anyone anything."
"Why do you have to carry more things for those who don't care about you at all? Look at them..."
"Are you going to kill them with your own hands? They are your father, uncle, and best friends. They have all suffered despair time and time again because of your persistence."
"Can you bear to let them go through that painful pain again?"
"And can you really face the world you have missed for twelve years alone?"
"Chu Qingxiao."
"You can make any decision for yourself, that's your freedom."
"But look at them..."
Zhu Yuan said this and looked sideways at the people aside again.
At this moment, most people seemed to have accepted Zhu Yuan's proposal. They hugged their relatives and friends, and laughed with the children.
Maybe everything in this realm of eternal night is fake, but one thing Zhu Yuan is right about is that their happiness at the moment is real.
Chu Qingxiao also looked at the crowd, his eyes were complicated, and the look of struggle on his face became more intense.
Zhu Yuan's voice sounded again: "Do you really have the right to make decisions for them?"
This question was like a sharp arrow that shattered the last persistence in Chu Qingxiao's heart. His clenched fists were loosened at this moment, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength. The light in his eyes dimmed and became lifeless.
Zhu Yuan looked at Chu Qingxiao with this appearance, and a winner's smile finally appeared on his face.
"A very wise decision."
He said this, and slowly stretched out a hand towards Chu Qingxiao's chest.
The candlelight above the dome seemed to feel something at this time, and the black thread also came in at this time, wrapped around Zhu Yuan's arm, spiraling together towards the thing it had longed for...
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao's expression was empty, and he watched helplessly as the hand got closer and closer to him, but he was frozen in place, showing no reaction to what was about to happen.
