Why did Xiao arrange the space crack in Maple Leaf Valley a few years ago to facilitate entry and exit of the Forest of Death, and set up a separate protective restriction so that even the Star Lord's scroll could not seal it.
Why would Ainlu wait for her at the archery training ground and say that she was destined to go here?
It was even said that it was the spring of the fourth year of Qingli. He chose this time to tell Snow Rose about it. I am afraid he also knew that she was the existence that the owner here longed for. He even said that he was able to successfully take away Snow Rose from the sea of roses. At that time, he made some unspeakable deals with the owner of the lake.
Ye Qing covered his mouth in disgust.
From the first time you met me, you knew that I would be the sacrifice at this time.
A supreme sacrifice related to the resurrection of the ancient god.
What is connected with cause and effect, what changes the future.
If my existence can determine the resurrection of a dead ancient god, then there is nothing wrong with identifying me as the savior of this world, right?
Ye Qing was in the midst of endless negative emotions. Ever since he used the Eternal Sky Formation, his body's fatigue, which had not been relieved for a long time, exploded with this wave of negative emotions. He felt like the world was darkening.
Those who keep saying they like themselves, look forward to themselves, and appreciate themselves are ultimately just waiting for a fruit to mature, right?
"Hey." A young man's voice sounded from his ear.
"Xiao Jiu." Ge Sheng said in his ear.
Only then did Ye Qing realize that he was being held tightly in the boy's arms. Even his body temperature and breathing could be clearly felt and heard.
And in the next moment, Ye Qing also realized that he had unconsciously left the warm sedan on Chi Ling's back, jumped barefoot into the snow and walked towards the depths of the sea of roses. His snow-white feet had turned into purple with frost. Purple lost all consciousness.
"Who am I?" Ye Qing asked doubtfully.
"You are controlled by it again." Ge Sheng said as he lifted Ye Qing onto his shoulders. "Go back to Yongdong Station first. The evacuation order has been temporarily lifted. We will make a decision after further careful discussion."
Perhaps everyone had no objection to Ge Sheng taking care of him. Ye Qing wanted to refuse, but his feet were too frostbitten, so he had to lie on Ge Sheng's back and return to Yongdong Station. As soon as he entered the door, he saw almost All members of the Late Summer Friends Club were waiting for him in the main hall, and their faces could not help but blush slightly.
After another scan, Ye Qing suddenly realized that a very important person was missing, and couldn't help but ask: "Where is Xingxi?"
"I asked her to go explore outside by herself." Ao Xuehua replied: "Test whether the Lord of the Lake can trap her if she escapes at the speed of a Ziwei realm expert."
"How can it be possible!" Ye Qing couldn't help but said anxiously: "Even if she can escape, it will not be of any help to us. Moreover, once the Lord of the Lake refuses to let her in after Xingxi leaves, we will lose our strongest self-protection power. It’s unclear whether I can maintain my sanity in my current state, so how can I use the Eternal Sky Formation again?”
"Even if we have full combat power, we have no chance of winning against a being who is equivalent to a saint." Aoxuehua replied calmly: "The only feasible method is to make you obediently become a sacrifice. Only in this way can we have a chance to leave. "
Ye Qing bit his lip gently: "I can do it."
"Yes, you can." Aoxuehua nodded: "But we can't."
"All of us here gathered together because of your existence and became this existence called the Late Summer Friends Club. If you die here, it means that everything we have done before has been negated. "
"I don't know what it is like to be a sacrifice to the ancient gods, because no one can live to tell us about it after experiencing all this. Will you be eaten alive, or will your soul be extracted as a sacrifice, or will you say It uses blood as a mediator to lick the cause and effect. We don't know this. Or to put it more simply, if we give up on you and find that the ancient god gnaws on your existence, thus replacing your huge cause and effect that is enough to change the future, then we will Forgetting you from the root, the Lanye Empire will no longer have you, the fourth ninth princess, and will be replaced by an ancient god who slowly revives in the Forest of Death."
Ao Xuehua's smile was calm and peaceful: "I don't know if you can accept such a future, but I can only tell you that I don't accept it."
"I thought about the worst case scenario when I decided to follow you." Shi Feng said calmly from the side: "But even so, the situation in front of me is a thousand times worse than originally expected."
"But one thing has never changed." Shi Feng calmly grinned, showing a somewhat jerky but extremely awe-inspiring smile: "I came here with the intention of dying."
"But." Ye Qing looked at the ceiling in confusion, and then said softly: "There is a difference between surviving with the intention of dying and throwing an egg at a stone to die."
"Yes, there is a difference." Qi Xia smiled and replied: "Did you know? Your Highness, before coming here, I once made a prediction and assessment of the enemies we can deal with."
"In my original plan, being able to defeat a fully-formed Ziwei realm powerhouse was the upper limit of our ability. However, with the addition of Blazing Spirit and Xingxi, we even said that we can defeat the siege of three extremely cold shadows. Keep at it, and at that time, if someone tells me that if I try harder to challenge the saint, I will no longer think it is a fantasy."
"Moreover." Qi Xia continued without waiting for Ye Qing's answer: "Who knows how much power the Lord of the Lake who trapped us in his own broken divine kingdom still has."
"We can't escape from its divine kingdom, more because of the essential differences, just like we can't escape the shadow, just like we can never flow back time. This is a difference in cognitive level, but if we return to the common realm, Who knows how much of the former power this so-called ancient god can retain?"
"I don't allow it!" Ye Qing said a little hysterically: "You are saying this because you want to fight, right? I don't know how much you weigh, and you may not be able to beat me even if you put it all together, okay? I don't allow it! "
"Xiao Jiu." Ge Sheng looked at the blue-haired girl who was on the verge of collapse with some pity. She has always been under the greatest pressure. This time, she organized the Forest of Death almost independently, so the consequences of the failure were also caused by She was responsible for it alone. She originally thought that the journey into the sea of roses was coming to an end, but no one thought that this was just the beginning.
"Although we don't know exactly what we will face on this trip, someone does."
"So, before we even arrived, someone prepared an opportunity for us to fight to the death."
"right."
"Sister Chrissy."
"yes."
Christie's tired voice slowly echoed in the room of Everwinter Station.
"You are so clever for once."
"Yes."
"If the moment comes when even the gods may not be able to save you, then you can open the third bag. Although I may not be able to bring you miracles, at least I can make you die with more dignity. "
Christie gently repeated what she said at that time in an unknown place, and then seemed to sneer: "Of course, I originally thought that the third tip might not be useful."
"Stop talking." Aoxuehua said quietly: "Tina, how much do you know about the monster in the lake?"
"If we talk about how much I know, I only know less than you, not more." Christie's voice echoed leisurely. Although this voice did not seem rushed or anxious, it had a leisurely feeling that she was not here, but if Thinking that she can actually transmit the sound through the barrier of the Forest of Death, and even through the kingdom of the ancient god in the lake, it is a bit touching that this sound brings peace and trust to everyone in the Late Summer Friends Society. .
"Fortunately, I know almost nothing you know, but most of what I know you don't know either." Christie paused for a moment: "First of all, let me confirm that the monster in the lake is indeed not from this world. A creation, but it is not a pure saint. To be precise, it is comparable to a saint in the realm of power, but far behind in the realm of Tao."
"In addition, it is not the surviving soul of the most powerful ancient god who is making trouble, because the existences that killed the ancient gods are also powerful beyond all our imagination today. It cannot use such means to hide the truth, so it is simple To be honest, today's Saint in the Lake is just a spiritual intelligence reborn through the ancient gods' transformation over a long period of time. He is as chaotic and ignorant as the newborn ancient gods, and only relies on his original instinct to act. Moreover, he has also been set up by others. Despite the restriction, although its power far exceeds that of the world, it cannot leave the Lake of Tranquility, so the limit it can do is that you are trapped in its divine kingdom. As long as you do not go to the Lake of Tranquility, it will not be able to cause any harm. Substantial harm.”
"Of course." Christie paused seriously: "Most of its energy is eroding Her Royal Highness, which means that as long as you are unable to escape from its divine kingdom, it will not be long before it completely controls Her Royal Highness. From this perspective. You don’t have as much time as you think.”
Ye Qing was rare and didn't talk too much nonsense to this sister-in-law. He just asked calmly: "I want to know if there is any way to escape from the ancient god's kingdom without facing it directly."
"Unfortunately, no." Christie said without any hesitation, "In other words, there is no such precedent in the knowledge I have."
"So what you're saying is," Ye Qing said, "There is no other way but for us to fight it head-on, this weak ancient god who has no power and no reason?"
"Yes." Christie seemed to smile from a distance: "Selling you is the easiest way."
"Although I still don't understand some details, I have the same opinion as you on one point."
"That's why the ancient god is so abnormal. Ultimately, it's because your smell is too good."
"So if I can go back alive, should I ask you to make me a bottle of particularly unpleasant perfume to cover up the scent on my body?" Ye Qing actually had the leisure to tease a little, and then he became serious: "You are like this Say, are you sure?"
"Even if we fight that ancient god head-on, we still have more than a 10% chance of winning."
"Not really." Christie laughed out loud: "According to my calculations."
"Then you have at least a 50% chance of winning against that guy."
"If you are willing to pay any price except your life and obey my command."
Ao Xuehua nodded and said lightly to Ge Sheng: "Take Tina away, we don't need that girl here for the time being."
Ge Sheng nodded, took off the black iron ring from his hand and put it back into the bag, and Christie's voice stopped abruptly.
Yes, a black iron ring.
Before Ge Sheng finally decided to open the last tip bag, he never thought that what Christie put into the last tip bag was not a note, but the black iron ring she made in the Emperor's Oath.
It was also this ring that allowed her voice to penetrate thousands of kilometers and cross layers of barriers to provide unbelievable help to the Late Summer Friends Club, which was almost in despair at this time. Even if other things were not mentioned, it was just... Telling the essence of the ancient god in the lake will be of great help to the Friends of the Late Summer.
The most terrifying thing for people is always the unknown, which will only amplify the existence that they do not understand. Therefore, when I first learned about the existence of the ancient god in the lake, although I was able to confirm that its state was not complete, I was subject to great limitations. , but no one can imagine that this is an existence with no appearance, no power, no reason, and in a sense, it can even be regarded as a large shadow of extreme cold.
Although from various angles, this extremely cold shadow is a bit too big.
"Although Tina has no reason to let us die." After confirming that the girl had been cut off, Ao Xuehua looked around and said: "But this is a matter of our life and death after all, it is best not to accept that The girl is too deceived. She just knows what kind of things exist in the Forest of Death, so she doesn't follow us here. Whether you say she is smart or afraid of death, there is only one thing you can be sure of, and that is Tina. I decided that even if I followed, we would not be able to get out of this predicament safely. Although she proposed a solution, I have said it many times and don’t mind saying it again at this time, even though she was once my best friend. , but as an Alaya Consciousness, she is not worthy of our complete confirmation."
At this moment, someone pushed open the door and came in. The wind and snow were blowing outside. The girl's silver hair shone like crushed silver, with a thin layer of unmelted snow on it.
Xingxi was ordered to explore the strength of this realm of the Kingdom of God, and now she finally returned.
"I'm sorry." The girl said calmly, not understanding emotions and anger: "There is no way to escape. It's like we are trapped in a giant snake connected end to end. No matter how we sprint, we are always spinning around an invisible loop. , is equivalent to the corridor of space, but it is not completely equated.”
"Ahem." Ye Qing coughed softly: "It is indeed the Kingdom of the Ancient God."
"Let me explain my intention first."
"I am willing to put my life in that guy's hands, even though I dislike her very much."
Ge Sheng sighed and added: "She has never let me down."
Shi Feng nodded: "I am willing to entrust you."
Qi Xia shook her head and smiled: "I can only say that it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Zhou Yan grimaced: "Do we have any other choice?"
"Of course there are choices, but I always believe that when facing an ancient god, you can only choose the method that it dislikes the least." Ziquan said calmly.
"This is the realization I had before coming here." Lan Che said quietly.
"Okay." His Highness Third Prince Lingling said.
Only Xing Xi, who had just arrived, didn't know what happened, but she still vaguely noticed something.
"My order is to escort you out of the Forest of Death. Before that, I will be by your side to assist you."
"So." Luo Belle, who had been almost invisible since entering the sea of roses, suddenly chuckled: "Life is so interesting. I'm a little happy that I followed."
"If you can stay with us or leave, little girl."
Ao Xuehua finally spoke. She looked quietly at the sky in the distance, which was in the direction of the Lake of Tranquility: "Although I am not willing to die here, if this is my fate, I will resist first and then talk about other things."
Ye Qing wore a white cloak and slowly walked out of the sea of roses in the snow. His long blue hair looked like seaweed swaying in the ocean.
Although I have been called to this place countless times in my sleep, it is still the first time I finally set foot on the land here.
Ye Qing finally faced the biggest fear he had ever experienced, but he didn't expect to see such a scene in front of him.
As many people have told themselves, there are glacial lakes here.
The lake is called the Lake of Tranquility.
Only when you see it with your own eyes will you understand the true meaning of this sentence.
Why, the ice lake is called the Lake of Tranquility.
After walking out of the sea of roses, there is a stone ground that is no more than a hundred steps away. Its color is as white and warm as jade. At the end of the lakeshore, which seems to be made of the most beautiful jade in the world, is the so-called quiet lake.
This is a white lake with mist floating in it. No matter how windy and snowy it is outside, it seems to have nothing to do with it. Here there is only the white lake surface condensed into ice, like a platform or a mirror, with a strange power when you see it. The first sight freezes all your thoughts.
What does it mean to have a heart as still as water, and what does ice reflect the heart? All fears, all hesitations, all confusions were swept away after encountering this ice lake, leaving only pure thinking activities in the frozen heart. Next, no distracting thoughts.
"I'm here." Ye Qing said calmly.
The moment the girl spoke, Ye Qing could clearly see the icy blue cracks slowly spreading in the air, as if the air was slowly cracking like a mirror. At the same time, the rustling was as fine as spring silkworms eating mulberry. Sound began to permeate the spirit and reality, although no organized sound appeared, and even clear emotions emerged.
But for some reason, Ye Qing just understood that something was telling him.
welcome back.
Something slowly emerged from the ice lake. Judging from the senses, the first reaction was flowing white and blue smoke, but then I saw their strange shapes, as if Ye Qing himself was unfolding the eternal sky. The wings of light growing behind the formation, the smoke also have a similar shape, like countless sticky tentacles made of light and water. They squirm with each other, unconsciously but making a rustling sound, slowly left the water, some of them seemed to be aware of Ye Qing's presence, and began to subconsciously approach Ye Qing's direction, but more of them were still moving unconsciously, like countless slender earthworms entangled together.
"It is already an ancient god in a relatively complete form. Of course, this is purely comparative."
Luo Beier's voice slowly echoed in Ye Qing's heart, bringing with it a certain soothing power to reduce the confusion and chaos in Ye Qing's heart when he saw such an indescribable thing.
This is also one of Christie's preparations.
Since almost all the ancient gods have spiritual contamination that almost crushes ordinary existences, ordinary people will instantly fall into irreversible madness as long as they face the ancient gods. Although there are almost no real ordinary people in the late summer Friends Society, facing them In response to such an almost irresistible injury, Christie organized all the members who were willing to obey his orders into a complete spiritual link, and the person in charge of the core was Lobel.
"The primary form of the Ancient God is just like the Ancient God of Fire sleeping in Ziquan's body. It is just a collection of different rules. They are combined regularly and spontaneously absorb the power that can be used by themselves from the outside world without restriction. , thereby slowly forming a body that can move in the main material realm."
Lobel said slowly: "So the ancient gods at that time were closer to a bunch of amoeba-like creatures, but they were much larger."
"As time goes by, the ancient gods will slowly perfect their bodies to form a body that conforms to their own 'image'. At that time, as long as you visualize the 'image', you can call the ancient gods in the distance. But now the one in front of us A living thing, its form is between prototype and image. When it is truly completed, it will slowly absorb the knowledge it needs from the outside world and slowly cultivate its rationality."
"The reason why most of the ancient gods don't have the rationality we know is actually just that they don't need it. A rational ancient god is often unable to defeat an irrational ancient god due to various reasons. , but in today's world, since most living things have so-called rationality, if it grows up slowly, it will inevitably absorb rationality from the outside world. To put it directly, if the mother is unfortunately killed by it in this battle If you kill her, then it will directly take away your mother’s memory and thinking, and it may even be possible to directly replace your mother’s existence in this world.”
Ye Qing was silent for a while: "Why me? Also, why is there so much knowledge about the ancient gods in the memory you inherited?"
"Because our clan and those ancient gods have been destined enemies for tens of thousands of years, every clan member will be imprinted with the implication that the ancient gods are our biggest enemies when they are born." Lobel hesitated and said: " But no matter what, I couldn't imagine that I would accompany my mother to fight against the real ancient gods at such a young age. After all, this kind of existence has been extinct for countless years."
"Besides, the reason why it's my mother is also very simple." Lobel smiled: "Because it can only be my mother."
"Okay." Ye Qing replied helplessly, while his eyes slowly focused on the so-called ancient god who was still rising in front of him.
It seemed to have no concept of time. It didn't matter whether it was attacked or whether the enemy would escape. The process of lifting the entire body out of the ice lake was very slow, as if it was played in slow motion frame by frame. It was precisely because of this that Ye Qing Can clearly see the other person's body.
It does not have the so-called limbs and organ structure of ordinary creatures. The ones connected to those blue and white tentacles are more like a pair of beetle flying wings. Under the flying wings is a group of crystal aggregates. Only when you look carefully will you find that It is a piece of condensed ice crystal, and the ice crystal is wrapped in a thick red liquid.
Is this the ancient god? Ye Qing endured the indescribable feeling of nausea in his heart, because at this time, the entire Late Summer Friends Club, including Xing Xi, were helping her share this intense discomfort.
"The image has been obtained." Lobel said quickly in his heart: "It belongs to the ancient god who is close to maturity in his infancy. If judged according to previous common sense, it is composed of four parts of tissue. The first part is the outermost viscous gas and liquid state. The tentacles are responsible for direct attack and feeding."
"The second part is the wing sheath attached to the tentacles. Since almost every tentacle has its own consciousness, it is difficult to ensure that they will not attack themselves, so this solid wing sheath mainly serves to fix and protect them. , the specific role remains to be confirmed.”
"The third part is the crystal structure that protects the core. It is the most important and strongest protective shell of every young ancient god. It can hardly be harmed by any substance. And our purpose is to break through this layer of protection. In this case , you can attack its weakest core."
"This is the fourth part. The flowing red liquid can be regarded as the core of the ancient god, which can be compared to the brain and heart. These are almost substantive rules. Although if the capture can be completed, it can be extracted from it. The so-called godhead, but we don’t have such ability and confidence, so it is relatively easy to destroy it.”
"above."
"Do you understand everything?"
