Emperor Chong made a big mistake.
After watching the "Adventures of Chonghuang" composed of surveillance cameras on various streets, Zhou Li squinted his eyes and this thought came to his mind.
Sure enough, after reading Chonghuang's autobiography in rapt attention, Kaya lowered her head, biting her crown tightly, her eyes turning red. I don't know if tears of sadness or pain were rolling in my eyes.
At this moment, she was more painful than knowing that her entire family had perished.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell you this, but..."
As if he couldn't bear to let his daughter endure such pain, Chonghuang Ai Ai opened his mouth to comfort her. But what he didn't expect was that before he could say any words of comfort, Kaya interrupted him first.
"no need to say sorry."
Kaya's voice was a little muffled, far less agile than before, "Thank you for telling me this."
well.
Zhou Li sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that Emperor Chong had done something wrong this time. In other words, he was afraid.
"ah…"
Emperor Chong was stunned and did not react for a moment. When he came back to his senses, Kaya spoke again:
"I'll... give up."
Kaya looked at Chonghuang, her originally clear and watery eyes covered with a thick layer of gloom. She gritted her teeth, clenched her right hand, and said word by word: "I... won't take revenge, don't worry."
A look of astonishment appeared on Emperor Chong's face. He wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Zhou Li beside him suddenly said:
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Li looked at Kaya who was holding back tears and making a "decisive" choice, and suddenly said: "Kaya, think about it again."
"ah?"
This sentence not only confused Emperor Chong, but even Kaya, who was in extremely sad mood, was stunned. The two people were shocked in Zhou Li's eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc that was not easily noticed.
Chonghuang was stunned. Although Kaya's decision in grief made him very painful, it was a good ending after all. But he never thought that Zhou Li would disrupt his rhythm at such a critical moment. Just when he was surprised, Zhou Lifeng said to Kaya calmly:
"It's not a good thing to let go of this hatred impulsively."
He folded his arms and kept his face as usual, as if he was a man watching a theater and started to get angry: "The choice is not important, what is important is what you want to do, Kaya."
You are wrong about Chonghuang. You are wrong because you should not let Kaya keep "choosing".
You know that Kaya is kind, I know that Kaya is kind, doesn’t Kaya herself know that she is kind? Kaya knew from the beginning that you must have had a deep bond with her, but she still pressed you about your relationship with her even though she knew that you were the enemy of the genocide.
She doesn't care that you take advantage of her kindness, she just wants to know the truth and then make her own judgment without anyone forcing her to choose.
You keep saying that you let Kaya choose, but have you ever thought that when you erased Kaya's memory of you, you didn't give her a choice.
"Kaya, now you just pretend that the virtual manager in front of you doesn't exist. Then, do it."
Facing Zhou Li's words, Kaya was stunned. After a long time, the grief and despair in her eyes diminished a little, and she slowly asked: "What to do?"
"you ask me?"
Zhou Li pointed at himself, as if scorning Kaya's words, "Do whatever you like. If you want to take revenge now, go for revenge. If you want to be reformed, go for reform. If you want to put down your hatred and come with your father, Whether it’s a passionate embrace, or whether you want to have a chance to meet the real God behind the scenes, it’s all in one sentence.”
Zhou Li paused for a moment, then stretched out his finger and waved: "What does the matter you should decide on your own have to do with me?"
Kaya was stunned. She suddenly felt a different feeling, something she had never felt since she could remember. She looked at Zhou Li, who had an indifferent expression, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her dim eyes. She looked at Chonghuang aside, her slightly hoarse voice was not as decisive as before:
"Tell me... about the gods."
"this…"
There was a hint of hesitation in Emperor Chong's eyes, but soon, he told Kaya everything about the gods in full. Including why the void race looks like a monster in front of humans. It was only after he was wiped out of the protection of the gods that he saw the truth of the void. The role played by the gods in that war, etc., Kaya listened carefully to every sentence and took note of every sentence.
After saying everything about gods and void, Emperor Chong stopped talking.
"I'm not stupid."
Kaya is still not very proficient in Mandarin, but now, her somewhat stumbling words seem very solemn, "I know, you still treat me as a child."
"I knew you were my father from the first time I saw you."
Emperor Chong was stunned. He knew that he had erased all memories of himself in Kaya's mind. But Kaya's words exposed his long-held assumptions. He never thought that without blood or memory, Kaya still remembered and recognized herself.
"I also know who my enemy is."
Staring into Emperor Chong's eyes, Kaya said slowly: "I will do it."
"do what?"
This time, it was Chonghuang's turn to ask questions.
"I'll help you."
Kaya looked at Emperor Chong and said without hesitation: "I will summon them, and they will help me. I will tell them the truth."
"Kaya, I don't want to involve you in the whirlpool of war."
After Emperor Chong said these words, Kaya shook her head and responded firmly: "This is not a war."
"This is my revenge."
Complex emotions appeared in Chonghuang's eyes, and he suddenly realized that he might really be wrong. He had always regarded Kaya as a baby bird, weaving a beautiful cage for her, handing her painless choices, and then privately making decisions for her among the most important choices.
He always remembered Kaya's kindness, but he didn't see that Kaya had already grown up because of the death of the old wolf. She began to choose her own future, just like the old wolf. She would no longer place her future on the goodwill of others.
"You've grown up, Kaya."
After hesitation, Emperor Chong finally chose to respect Kaya's opinion. He looked at Kaya with a pleased smile on his face: "Do what you should do, Ms. Kaya Kallis."
"I will."
What neither Chonghuang nor Kaya saw was that after Kaya said this, a well-planned smile appeared on Zhou Li's face.
Right, that is it.
You should not erase her hatred. On the contrary, only by igniting Kaya's hatred can Kaya truly live. Instead of becoming a poor man who always fights against the hatred deep in his heart and spends the rest of his life in confusion.
Of course, I can also take this opportunity to give God a huge surprise.
"It's an easy way to open the door, Kaya."
At this time, Emperor Chong no longer hesitated. He looked at Kaya and said softly: "You are the door."
"You have the mark of the void, and your soul is also the real world. After you obtain the body of the real world, as long as you think, you can open the door if you think from the heart."
Kaya nodded, then pursed her lips, stretched out her hand, closed her eyes according to Chonghuang's instructions, and concentrated her thoughts.
When the purple door appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Emperor Chong smiled.
"Kaya, there's one last thing I want to tell you."
He turned around and looked at Kaya. At this time, Emperor Chong had given up everything. He was no longer Emperor Chong, nor a hero. He was just a person named Qi Mu, a man from the earth. At this time, he didn't need to hide anything.
"Kaya, in Callis's language, does not mean hope."
Facing the somewhat astonished Kaya, Emperor Chong opened his mouth and told him the explanation of the word Kaya that he had seen decades ago.
"The true meaning of Kaya is the one who defeats fate."
Facing Emperor Chong's last words, Kaya clenched her fists and then slowly released them. She closed her eyes slightly and said softly: "I understand."
Afterwards, Kaya dispersed the void door. At this time, she will no longer receive any restrictions, and she can open the door to reality at will. She is a Calis and the only heir to the city. Kaya closed her eyes, feeling the Kalis blood flowing in her body, and mobilized her power.
Opening her eyes, Kaya's eyes were already filled with deep purple light. She stretched out her hand again, and at this moment, Zhou Li felt that the space barrier around him had been completely erased. As long as they want, they can leave the void at will. Kaya's eyes penetrated the infinite illusion and saw the real void.
"Let's go."
Kaya turned around and prepared to leave with Ain, whose brain had been overwhelmed by the huge amount of information. At this time, Zhou Li, who had been thinking thoughtfully on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Li spoke and said to Kaya: "I want to have a few words with your father alone."
Kaya had no objection to the title of father. She glanced at Qi Mu, then nodded, pointed to the door and said to Zhou Li: "I'm waiting for you, you can leave at any time."
"good."
After Kaya and Ain left, Zhou Li looked at Qi Mu, who was smiling but not smiling, and a ridiculous thought arose in his mind.
"Have ants defeated humans?"
When Zhou Li opened his mouth, he said seemingly unrelated words. But Emperor Chong didn't have any shock or surprise. He seemed to understand something and said calmly: "Poisonous ants can easily kill humans thousands of times larger than them in thirty seconds, but they are just Pest.”
Zhou Li nodded. He looked out the window at the city full of technology and said with emotion: "You told me three or three fairy tales, right?"
The corners of Qi Mu's lips curved into a perfect arc, and he smiled. His joy could not be concealed. He looked at Zhou Li and said with some relief: "Yes, three fairy tales with not too good endings."
The two men seemed to have caught some secret code, and both showed happy smiles. Zhou Li didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and prepared to leave the room. Qi Mu didn't try to hold him back. He looked at Zhou Li's back and shouted with a smile:
"I'm glad you read that book."
"Me too."
Zhou Li waved his hand to Emperor Chong and then disappeared into the house.
When Zhou Li's figure disappeared, Chonghuang's figure also disappeared into this exquisite house. Soon the hut, like the city, fell silent.
"Have you really seen Emperor Chong?!"
As soon as he went out, Aiwei helped Ain and shouted with a face full of shock: "Chonghuang?! That brave man?! Is it real or fake?!!"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Ain rolled her eyes at Ivey angrily, then she tugged on Ivey's ears and said solemnly: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We have to leave here quickly."
"leave here?"
Xiao Ke on the side asked doubtfully: "But according to time, the outside has been completely invaded by the void. If we go out now, it will be like throwing ourselves into a trap."
"Don't worry."
At this time, Kaya said: "I... can make Kallis, the void, help us."
"ah??"
This sentence directly silenced Ivy, Xiaoke and Don Quixote. After a moment of sluggishness, Ivey asked with disbelief: "You said you can make the void help us?"
"Yes."
Kaya nodded, and then said even more shocking news: "This is what my father, Qi Mu, told me."
Oh, Nanami.
He nodded, and then Ivey slapped himself hard. Under the pain and Ain's request of "I can do it too", Ivey came to his senses.
"Okay, now even if you tell me that we are going to stab the gods next, I won't be surprised."
Ivey forced himself to calm down, and then said this jokingly. Of course, he soon realized something was wrong.
Ain's silence, Kaya's approval, and Zhou Li's "you're pretty smart" look made Aiwei feel an ominous premonition. He looked at Zhou Li and asked hesitantly after a moment of silence: "You...won't you refute me?"
"Then guess, if I just want to stop the void invasion, why did Kaya say "help"?"
Zhou Li was kind and kind, with a "teachable" expression, and said to Ivy: "Help, it's because we have difficulties."
"Now, we have very big difficulties."
Zhou Li nodded, Kaya reached out her hand understandingly, and a door appeared in front of everyone. Zhou Li pointed at the door, smiled and said to Ivey and his group: "I think that the double standard of playing with the souls of the dead and killing people every day, but not others, will have a great impact on the development of our Goblin Farmhouse."
"What do you think?"
Silence is the appearance of emptiness, Ivy's doubts, and Don Quixote's habit.
"We agree."
Soon, Ivey spoke. At this time, he had given up thinking and directly chose to tell Daliu: "You keep asking me what I do. I won't ask. It will only increase your troubles."
"I was going to help Muqi, I agree."
This was Eluma's answer, and Don Quixote said nonchalantly that his "virtue radar" had no adverse reactions, so it was possible.
"Then let's go."
Zhou Li stepped into the door with a loud voice.
"Don't wait, the God of Death will not wait for us."
