Xingtie: After my death, Liuying will understand love.

Chapter 668: How Giant Trees Can Rise Above Tiny Seeds

The double moons have been hanging in the sky ever since ancient times, and the night sky of Tethys has been rotating with the double moons ever since then.

The blazing blue moon, like the sun, dispels the eternal night and brings vitality and light to the world.

The cold silver moon is like a silent tide, bringing unspeakable disasters to the world, but it also once balanced all things in the beginning.

But now the light of the Blue Moon is becoming dimmer and dimmer, and people say that when the predicted end day arrives, the Blue Moon will completely fall into the tide.

This is the most dangerous imbalance in the past thousand years. Now the time controlled by the Blue Moon does not exceed eight hours a day. The rest of the time, all you can see when you look up is the Silver Moon.

Anyone could see that the danger Tethys was facing was perhaps the most severe in countless five years.

The two moons have maintained a delicate balance since eternity, but their current tilt must be inevitable.

An Ming has been traveling outside the city frequently recently. Now the world outside the protection of the holy city has become more dangerous, and the creatures that he once identified as "virtual soldiers" have become more active.

From Aini's explanation, we can learn that those strange human-like creatures are called "omen", which means demons coming out of nightmares in the ancient Tethys language.

The omen only appears under the silver moon, wandering the wasteland like an untouchable spirit, and disappears again after the blue moon.

It is said that only the golden moon summoned by the saint can completely drive away bad omens. The reason for the current situation is that bad omens continue to accumulate and have never been completely cleared, making it increasingly difficult to control.

The more bad omens accumulate, the more dangerous Silver Moon will become. Even the trained guards in the Holy City will find it difficult to deal with two bad omens at the same time.

The longer the Silver Moon appears, the harder it is to clear the bad omen, and the more bad omens there are, the more dangerous the Silver Moon becomes... Today, Tethys is caught in an unsolvable vicious cycle, and in this cycle of chronic death, people are accumulating hope for someone who can show up and break the cycle.

And that person was undoubtedly the only Saint Lady of Thethys.

People firmly believed that as the messenger of God, the saint would be able to solve the disaster of Tethys and summon the golden moon again, so that life would cover the earth.

Just like every five-year ceremony before it, the Saint always saved Tethys.

When another five years comes, people still believe so.

When the tide of bad omens comes and Thethys's end comes, someone will hold a golden holy sword and climb the steps of the sky to meet the gods.

Bring the golden moon to the world and end the dead end.

But only An Ming knew that Annie was never a "messenger of God" or the "person destined to save the world."

She is just Annie, an ordinary girl who is afraid, confused, and a little greedy.

Outside the town, An Ming held the iron sword and pierced the body of the attacking evil omen cleanly and neatly, but no matter how many times he did it, the evil omen that was killed would turn into sand-like fragments and dissipate.

Just like what we saw on the beach, they never really die, they just return to the earth.

"Traveler, have you ever wondered why there is no sun in this world?"

There was no sign at all. There was no one under the tree beside him a second ago, and then the young man with simple features appeared there. He was dressed simply, the kind of ordinary person who would be hard to find in a crowd within seconds.

An Ming didn't even notice when he appeared there. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, no one would have noticed that there was an extra person there.

"Who are you?" An Ming raised the iron sword vigilantly, ready to launch an attack at any time.

You know, in the entire Tethys, apart from Aini, he had never seen anyone who could actively communicate with him.

The strange thing is that what came out of that person's mouth was clearly not a language that An Ming understood, but it was able to convey the most direct meaning.

"Ori cannot speak directly."

The young man smiled normally, pointed his right hand at the deepest part of the branch, and the fallen leaves turned into plump fruits. "Leaves can also turn into fruits, and seeds can also bloom into flowers."

An Ming's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he thought to himself that although he could understand what was being said this time, it would be better if he didn't understand at all.

Communicating with the people of Tethys is simply a language barrier, and talking to this guy is just pure torture. The Riddler is extremely annoying no matter which world he is in.

"Traveler, if you want to change the laws of this world..."

The ordinary-looking young man pointed to the silver moon hanging high in the sky and said, "Just become the sun."

It was not until now that An Ming vaguely realized what the person in front of him was talking about, "Becoming the sun of Tethys?"

The young man smiled and shook his head. "The seeds are not from this world. If we want to penetrate this haze... we need more light."

Seeds need light, but not the moonlight here.

The wind in the forest suddenly stopped, and the young man took a step forward and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of An Ming, with his fingertips resting on his brows.

Finite things cannot imagine the infinite, just as infinite people will inevitably break through the finite.

The halo blooming from his fingertips instantly brought An Ming's consciousness to a higher level - he saw the vast universe, countless planets floating like bubbles, billions of stars flowing by like sand, and Tethys was just the most inconspicuous one among them.

"Traveler..."

The young man's voice sounded in his ears, "Do you have the will to bear it?"

bear?

Various images emerged in An Ming's mind. He was just an ordinary person who traveled through time and space. He was lucky enough to meet Annie.

He was never a savior.

But if this is the only path that can change Annie's destined fate——

In order to protect the one he loves, he is willing to bear it.

Carrying the memory of the entire Tethys!

"I am... the one who carries the world on his back!"

The vast universe passed by in a flash, like a leaf and a bodhi tree. When An Ming opened his eyes, he was still standing under the tree.

But the young man disappeared as if he had never appeared, leaving only his last words.

"The world is still in the universe."

Until the end, An Ming still didn't know who that particularly mysterious young man was. He just tried hard to recall him in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything.

That appearance was too ordinary to leave any trace in anyone's memory.

The fruit in his palm also turned back into leaves, but the tree behind him was already full of plump fruits.

Just like it has been an apple tree since its birth.

"The world is still in the universe...and cannot escape the rules of the universe," An Ming murmured softly. Only by carefully chewing on the last words left by the young man could he understand the deep meaning of them.

But he is not a person of the universe, and he is also a special individual who has never been bound by rules.

Carrying the world on your back is not enough.

This alone cannot change Annie's fate.

[How do seeds bloom into flowers? ]

There are only five months left until the once-in-five-year Saint's Ceremony.

Annie's behavior was no different from usual. She was still very proactive in selecting ingredients. In the afternoon, when she saw An Ming practicing sword, she would follow him to give him instructions. Even if she was very sleepy, she would still stubbornly wait for An Ming to come and sleep in her arms.

However, the time she spent in a daze became longer and longer. She would always stare at An Ming for a long time unconsciously, but her mind was blank and she didn't think about anything.

He just stared like this for a long time until he was discovered by An Ming and suddenly woke up.

"Aini?"

"Huh? I'm here!"

The little saint stood at attention. Almost as if it was a conditioned reflex, Annie immediately stood up, smiling foolishly after realizing it belatedly.

An Ming took the kettle from her, looked at the loquat tree that had been watered into a small lake, and said with a smile, "It probably won't need water for a long time this time."

"sorry..."

Annie apologized guiltily with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

An Ming put the kettle aside, wiped the dirt off his hands with his clothes, and then held Annie's hand, his eyes gentle, "Silly, don't try to be brave in front of me."

How could he not understand Annie's emotions? The countdown of the ceremony was like a death curse. Annie witnessed the ending of 036 with her own eyes, so how could she not be afraid?

What Annie feared was never death or complete disappearance, but the fear of being separated from An Ming.

In the past, she couldn't even understand what love was, but now An Ming taught her what love is and what happiness is.

"I want to stay here forever," Annie's eyes were slightly red. If possible, she would rather never have been a saint.

"The key is in your hand. You can come back anytime you want."

An Ming stroked Aini's silver hair, his eyes reflecting the girl's true emotions, "This is our home."

"Home...?"

Mumbling some unfamiliar words, Annie finally smiled, "Thank you... Thank you!"

It was no longer the cold and icy holy city palace, but her real home. It turned out that she already had a home.

"Even if it's to say thank you, I should be the one to do it," An Ming wiped away the tears from the corners of Annie's eyes and smiled as well.

For example, how to learn to stop in an endless journey, or how to turn "living" into "life", and of course this incomparably warm love in the chest.

"By then, the loquat tree will surely have grown very tall," Annie looked at the sapling that has now grown quite a bit, and gently stroked the tender green leaves with her fingertips.

"By then, what will we still be standing here side by side like we are now, talking about?"

An Ming looked at her focused profile, a gentle smile in his eyes, "I think you are probably still arguing about whether the scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner should be sweet or salty."

Annie hit his shoulder angrily, snorted proudly and continued to ask: "What is this kind of reminiscing about the past after so many years called on Blue Star?" She has been studying the literature of Blue Star seriously, but it is indeed much more complicated and difficult than that of Tethys.

"Well... generally we call it 'no longer the same as when we were young'. Even if we go back to the beginning, we won't have the same state of mind as when we were young."

Annie suddenly turned around, and the ends of her hair brushed against his nose, bringing with it a fresh scent.

"But even after a thousand years, what I want to eat most when I return to the cabin is still the food cooked by An Ming."

"Okay, then I'll cook for you for the rest of my life."

...

...

"Let Aha see who is coming?"

"..."

The young man paused briefly, but did not look at the mask of joy floating beside him.

"Myth, let Aha guess, what did you make up this time?"

It was not until Aha called out His name accurately that the young man turned his gaze to the mask, "If I were you, I would leave now."

"I thought it was some fun..." Ah Ha paused for a moment, then murmured, "The rules of memory have not yet appeared in the universe."

Misty snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment the mask floating in front of him suddenly disappeared.

In the real past, Aha had never seen Him, nor had he realized the truth of memory.

“Ahaha!!!”

Another mask with fireworks and streamers suddenly jumped out, running around saying "hahahaha", and finally stopped abruptly, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"The Star God who distorts the perceived facts is secretly helping to create a destiny that records objective facts."

"I was just planning to take a look and leave, but I didn't expect it to be so fun~"

Although Aha's tone was light, the look behind the mask was extremely solemn.

There is mutual inclusion in destinies, but naturally there is also mutual exclusion.

[Mystery] Myth, the core concept of controlling power is to distort "perceived facts" and thus turn fictional history into reality.

[Memory] is the completely opposite concept, which is to record all the "objective facts" that have happened to ensure the absolute truth of history.

The scene is no less than that of preservation and destruction being good brothers, and hunting and abundance being a pair.

Originally, Aha sensed the presence of Misty, and thought that this guy had not come out for many Amber Ages, so he wanted to come over to eat some melon. Who would have thought that it would be better if he didn't eat it, but he almost choked to death after eating it.

Myth is really nice, it starts with a conceptual skill, directly fabricating a history where He never came.

Fortunately, the person who came from Aha was not Benha, and Mi Si had never thought about really starting a war between gods, so he could continue to come back here to chat.

"Tell me what you want, or I'll sneakily drag you here on StarTrain and let Akivelli announce your evil plot to the whole universe."

Aha's mask makes a harmless expression, but please don't doubt that He can really do such a thing.

Misty looked at Aha expressionlessly. Seeing this kind of thing, he didn't even have the mood to be a riddler, but... the invisible realm quietly unfolded, and every minute and second at this moment would become a moment that did not exist in history.

Aha Mask raised his brows slightly. Could it be that the most mysterious guy in the universe was also afraid of being discovered?

"How many times do you think we have had the same conversation?"

Aha's pupils shrank slightly, and the expression on the mask suddenly no longer looked like Aha.

Misconception silently gazes at the starry sea of the universe. The seemingly vast and boundless universe is actually a cage at the end of existence.

"I have something to ask of you."

He already knew Aha's answer, because no matter how many times they restarted, they would repeat the same conversation at this moment.

"Help me find two people."

This time, things finally changed in the world.

"Hope... and destiny."
