This endless world

"What's the time?"

Yang Yun's mind was still immersed in the light of the holy spear fired in an instant. After being reminded by Liuli just now, he could also feel the awe-inspiring light contained in it, which was related to the man who had been sticking to Lungominiad. In the process, it took countless efforts and efforts to finally hone the light of the Holy Spear coexisting with the human heart... But unexpectedly, Liuli suddenly said such a sentence.

Hearing Liuli's words, Yang Yun first subconsciously looked around to see if there were any traces of Ashiya Doman. Then he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, since Ashiya Doman has been eliminated, then you are going to activate the relationship." Gominiad has returned to the human city, right? This is good, I..."

"No, it's not about returning to the human city. I still have things to do."

Liuli interrupted Yang Yun's words. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the surrounding silver river water: "Look carefully at what else is in this river of life."

Following Liuli's finger, Yang Yun looked intently and saw that there was still a part of black sin deposits in the silver river water... Although it was much lighter than what he saw on the shore before, this black color still existed. Matter still exists firmly in the river of life.

"Why is there still more?"

Seeing this situation, Yang Yun couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Logically speaking, Ashiya Domandu has been completely wiped out, so these remaining sins should be rootless trees and will be wiped out along with the previous light." Ah…why haven’t these sins been eradicated?”

"10032-2 The basis for distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy is the essence of Ashiya Michin's soul that I brought back before. Even the light of her human heart and the light of the holy spear cannot completely burn out all the sins in the river of life. Because This sin itself comes from the sins of all humans in this world, and is the product of the collection of negative emotions in the sea of ​​​​human souls in this plane. Ashiya Michitoshi just planted the seeds of sin, and during these more than a thousand years, The seeds have already taken root.”

Liuli also stared at the black sins in the silver river water, and whispered: "Ashiya Doman is just the source, but as time goes by, this seed has already bloomed into flowers of sin. With the development of human beings in this plane, sins will also Keep growing and growing. Without Ashiya Michimi, as long as there is still the dark side of the human heart in this world, the resulting sedimentation of the human heart is this sin... Even if I try hard to make things better, In the end, it’s not possible.”

"Perhaps, this is the original sin of the human heart, the original sin of mankind... It may be more appropriate to describe it as 'evil in this world'."

"But this is not your responsibility."

Yang Yun tried to dissuade him, saying: "This world has yin and yang, good and evil. As long as human beings' bad nature exists, no matter how powerful the outside world is, they can only destroy themselves in the end... Everything They all have two sides. If you want to prevent the growth of evil in this world, it is a paradox in itself. Only by making human beings better can it be possible to completely eliminate evil."

"You are right, but this is my responsibility."

Liuli nodded first, then shook her head. Thousands of thoughts seemed to be turning in the eyes of this Valkyrie who has been working to make human beings better for thousands of years: "Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but since Ashiya Michio If the seeds of sin are injected into the river of life, then sin will grow in the future, and it is very likely that a monster of sin will be born in it, just like today... Even if there is no Ashiya Michima, there may be other people here again. There is a catastrophe in the world.”

"Therefore, I am willing to use my body to fight the evil in the world to the death. Even if I die nine times, I still have no regrets."

In Liuli's plain words, Yang Yun seemed to see that woman again, the woman who showed a fearless smile facing the black sun in the sky... After shouting these words, she took hold of the weapon in her hand, and then slashed Showed his last flash of sword.

"well……"

Only a sigh was heard, and two female figures floated out from Yang Yun's soul, but it was Xin Bi'an who never responded after that stop, the remaining light and soul of his soul. Perhaps it was because they were in the River of Life, the gathering place of souls, or perhaps because the light just now made the two supplemented to some extent, so they were able to show their figures.

But even so, the appearance of these two people was just a very faint shadow, which could only float in front of Yang Yun and Liuli, and could not even condense into a complete human form.

"I knew I had to get to this point eventually..."

From a shadow, Xin Bi'an's voice came out, and the leader of the fourth regiment's voice was full of regret: "10032's plan at the last moment was indeed correct. She had already calculated what would happen after Ashiya Michizumi was sealed. Even after a thousand years, everything she said is still true."

"Because this is the layout laid out by 'I', which lasts for thousands of years. From the moment the main body was sacrificed, our three corpses had already planned their respective directions."

From another figure, a voice came out: "I will guide the way forward, and let those who wish to destroy Ashiya Michitoshi's true form; order 10032-2 to guard Lungominiad, and do a good job in this thousand years." Be fully prepared and finally use the holy spear to eradicate it."

"And 10032-1, Liuli, is responsible for the most important part. Not only to continue the hope for the future, but also to prepare the final seal through the construction of the Hall of Heroes... You should bring that Alright?"

Regarding the issue of the seal, Liuli stretched out her right hand, and saw a shadow of the palace appearing on her hand. This hall is only the size of a palm, khaki in color, with six floors in total. The bottom is surrounded by countless runes, and there is an awe-inspiring and sacred aura in it...

The moment he saw this palace, Xin Bian sighed again: "Liu Li, have you really decided? If you really use it to complete the final layout of No. 10032, then..."

"If this is my destiny, then I will obey it."

Liuli gave a slight salute to the two figures, but did not answer directly: "Maybe one day, the world will become better, but before that, someone will always stand up and create a better future for them. This has been the case since the founding of the human city.”

After finishing speaking, Liuli stared at the Hall of Heroes in his hand, and said softly: "It's time to begin, this final soul-suppression of the heroic spirits."

In Yang Yun's gaze, a silver light lit up from the hall.

This is the same light as the silver soul in the river of life, but this light shines much brighter. If the silver in the river is starlight, then the light shining in the palace is the bright moon.

——That is, countless clusters of condensed, high-quality pure souls.

"Heroic Spirits Conquer Souls."

Looking at the silver soul light shining like a bright moon, Xin Bi'an's tone became softer: "Thanks to you for all the hard work these years."

"This is my mission and the meaning of my life."

Regarding Xin Bi'an's words, Liuli did not accept the kindness, but said: "Bringing the souls of the departed heroes to the Hall of Heroes is the meaning of the name 'Valkyrie', and it can be used for the soul-suppressing plan of heroic souls." I’m very happy to be well prepared for this day.”

"Heroic Soul Suppression is divided into the 'Heroic Spirit' Project and the 'Soul Suppression' Project. What Liuli did during these fifteen hundred years was the first step... that is, to transfer the heroic souls born in the history of this plane to Collect them all, sleep in the Hall of Heroes, and keep them for this day.”

Seeing that Yang Yun was silent, Xin Ke took the initiative to explain the true meaning of this plan to him: "The Hall of Heroes, a collection institution for souls, a sleeping place for souls based on the technological research of the Three-Eyed Tribe... where the souls reside. , so you don’t have to worry about it being gradually annihilated by the passage of time.”

"And what she needs to do now is the second step, to calm the soul."

Although there was no joy or anger in his tone, Xin Ke's words still revealed a different flavor: "It is better to block it than to block it. As long as there is still a dark side in the human heart, sin will continue to breed in this long river of life... Therefore , measures need to be put in place to filter it out.”

"Something like a filter?" Yang Yun stared at the palace in Liuli's hand and said.

"That's right, we will use the Hall of Valor as the basis to set up a dam in this river of life to filter out all sins and prevent them from affecting the normal cycle of life."

"This is the second step of the plan, to use the souls of heroes to suppress the souls of sins. To achieve this goal, someone must become the master of the Hall of Valor and sit in that position to control everything."

Xin Ke replied calmly: "It's time to start."

Liuli nodded and threw the palace in his hand upwards. Suddenly, silver light burst out. The next moment, the palace had turned into a sparkling golden palace, filling the entire field of vision. And while everyone was watching, the door of the palace began to slowly open.

"I'm leaving." Liuli wanted to walk straight towards the door, but a second before she took the step, she still thought of something and said to Yang Yundun.

"...What will happen to you next?" Yang Yun opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he only asked such a simple sentence.

"Maybe it was okay at first, but under the erosion of countless sins and souls, my personality will gradually disappear, and eventually I will become a 'machine that maintains the existence of the Hall of Valor', sitting on the throne and looking at the souls and sentient beings of the world indifferently. ."

Liuli was talking about her extremely cruel future, but Liuli was as calm as if she was talking about what she was eating tonight. She looked at Yang Yun who wanted to say something else, shook her head and said, "No need to say anymore, this is who I am. My faith, my path, the future I have chosen for myself.”

"And I am very happy for this."

It was this sentence that blocked all Yang Yun's words back in his throat. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh. When a warrior has made his own decision and decided to practice this way without regrets, it would be an insult to stop him... At this moment, Liuli is practicing the way in his heart!

...But why do I suddenly feel like crying?

With the last words left, Liuli didn't look at Yang Yun anymore. She walked directly to the gate of the palace. And Yang Yun stared closely at this comrade who had lived and died with him even though they had not been together for a long time, and there was always one sentence that made him feel a sigh of relief in his chest...

"You seem to have a lot to say."

Looking at Yang Yun's expression, the shadow representing Xin Ke suddenly floated in front of him, and said coldly: "Besides, it seems that you are not satisfied with the current ending."

"...It shouldn't be like this."

Staring at Liuli's back as she walked towards the gate of the Hall of Heroes step by step, Yang Yun gritted his teeth and said word for word: "We clearly completely eliminated Ashiya Doman, saved the world, and reached the last step... but why? Still have to pay the price of sacrifice?”

"Why can't everything have a happy ending?"

"Is sacrifice really necessary? Do all endings have to have some regrets?"

Regarding Yang Yun's words that were almost squeezed out from between his teeth, Xin Ke just replied: "When manpower is exhausted, I think you should already understand this truth. So for you, the ending in front of you, although not satisfactory, But it’s acceptable, it just requires one person’s sacrifice.”

"But that's not fair."

Yang Yun replied seriously: "Good people should have sweets, and good people should have good rewards. This is something that all children know, and how much you pay and how much you get is the most just contract... Where can there be heroes in this world?" The truth of bleeding and crying!”

Yang Yun's voice was loud, and the flow of information conveyed by this channel could naturally be sensed by Liuli, but this practitioner did not stop or even slow down at all.

What is a hero?

Those who have an iron will, can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate, do what ordinary people cannot do, and stand up at critical moments are heroes. If Yang Yun could change his decision with just a few words, then Liuli wouldn't be called a hero.

"The truth may be this, but you don't have the corresponding power."

Xing's words continued, and her voice was as cold as usual, but it had never been as ruthless as this time: "Fairness, truth...all of these require strength to practice. If you can't do it, you will eventually be unable to do it." It’s just empty talk.”

"...I may not have it now, but that doesn't mean I won't have it in the future."

Yang Yun suddenly had an idea and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Where can there be any immutable things? I come from the main god space and can grow very fast. The process of becoming stronger in the general sense cannot be applied to me, so as long as I can survive, and one day I will be able to do it!”

Looking into Yang Yun's eyes, Xin Ke couldn't help but feel a little silent. After a few seconds, he said hesitantly: "But you..."

"Remember what you just said."

Xin Ke still wanted to say something, but Xin Bi'an, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly cut off her words. She said in an extremely serious tone: "No need to say it, since you have caused a miracle, it is worth our treasure." Let me bet on you again..."

"So, let us, the ashes of the burning once, play our due role again."
