412. The Falling Kingdom of God Completed Its Fall Very Gently...

The Kingdom of God is falling.

At first it was a slight tremor, as if it was too cold and it couldn't help shaking, and then it pressed down inch by inch, every drop of water vapor in the air was gathering, and the faint mist now condensed into a force as huge as a river or sea.

The people who escaped from the Kingdom of God had complicated feelings that day. They felt extremely dry for a moment, and then seemed to feel abnormally wet.

Liao Xianglin is just one of the refugees from the Kingdom of God. Her home is very remote. Recently, rumors have been spreading in the Kingdom of God, and many nobles have already fled here. Some people realized that the Kingdom of God was not safe when Zhu Ning attacked, so they would rather seek refuge in remote areas first.

Liao Xianglin was not from a noble family, so no one told her to leave. She just went with the flow. Only when the ground beneath her feet began to tremble did she think of seeking shelter.

The servants of the Kingdom of God that day betrayed their master collectively as if they had agreed on it. They fled in chaos and disarray, as if a giant baby had suddenly lost its guardian.

There were stampedes, chaotic casualties, and some servants took the opportunity to kill their masters in revenge, expressing years of suppressed hatred.

Chaos, only chaos.

But Liao Xianglin stopped fleeing and stared blankly in a certain direction.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Her cousin grabbed her arm, and Liao Xianglin realized that she was walking towards the Lu family, which was the completely opposite direction of the shelter.

The anomaly came from the Lu family. The classical Lu family manor had a spire on the highest roof. The servants inside were running around like insects scattering after a stone was lifted up, and the spire of the Lu family was so crisp that it broke like chocolate with a single snap.

"I..." Liao Xianglin couldn't tell whether she was mentally polluted or just instinctive. She suddenly thought of Lu Yuan. Liu Yu's daughter should still be in the Lu family.

The Lu family was the first to collapse, so was she injured?

Liao Xianglin thought of a face very similar to Liu Yu's, thought of the two of them meeting in the studio, thought of them smiling at him, thought of their similar talents, both were good at painting, and exuded a unique madness.

For some reason, the dead Liu Yu seemed to come back to life, and repeatedly reminded Liao Xianglin of her. It wasn't a big deal, just some small details of life.

Now these details come together and shout out, suggesting that Liao Xianglin and Liu Yu were once living people.

Liu Yu really survived and left behind a daughter.

"I, I'll go find someone." Liao Xianglin said this.

My cousin thought she was losing her mind and yelled, "That's the Lu family!"

Her words already contained everything. Everyone knew what the Lu family meant. She might be saying that no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them.

Or, something might have happened, but that was the predetermined fate of the women of the Lu family.

Compared to the Lu family, who are you? You are not even qualified to attend the funeral.

Just as they were pulling, there was another loud bang in the distance. They didn't know where something had collapsed again. It sounded like the sound of drums in a musical performance, urging Liao Xianglin to hurry up.

Everyone is insignificant in the face of this power, especially the weak natural beings.

It is not appropriate to be dazed in the face of extreme changes. Liao Xianglin suddenly became very decisive. Perhaps he realized what he had to do and finally made up his mind.

"I'll just go and take a look." She said casually and walked against the flow of people.

Her cousin wanted to hold her back, but Liao Xianglin's hand slipped away like a fish and was submerged in the chaotic crowd in the blink of an eye. She didn't hold on to anything and was pushed away by the angry crowd.

It was very difficult for Liao Xianglin to move forward. She had to push through layers of people to move forward. As she ran, everything around her was collapsing and some people around her were already dead.

She was walking against death, but her steps became more and more firm, moving forward step by step.

Liao Xianglin's mind became simpler, and she became young again overnight. She thought about how Liu Yu had pulled her to run without any destination.

Running is a luxury for Liu Yu, because aristocratic etiquette requires her not to do such rude things. She can only breathe a sigh of relief when she comes to her own home, finally avoiding those corrupt rules, so sometimes they just run foolishly.

Liu Yu's physical strength is much better than Liao Xianglin's. Sometimes when Liao Xianglin can't run anymore, Liu Yu turns around and helps him.

Now Liu Yu's hand seemed to still be pulling her, helping her push through the dense crowd and run forward, even if it was just one more meter.

Liao Xianglin's clean dress became dirty, and her shoes had been lost long ago, but she didn't even stop. She didn't think about the exact meaning of her actions. Was she going to save Lu Yuan?

If Lu Yuan is already dead, then she is seeking death.

What if this was caused by Lu Yuan... Liao Xianglin thought about this possibility. She was Liu Yu's friend. Even if she didn't say it explicitly, even if Liao Xianglin had been avoiding it, she could probably guess what Liu Yu meant.

She thought of the answer while running. She was not going to save Liu Yu's daughter, but to bear witness.

When Liu Yu died, the Lu family refused to let her attend the funeral, so she didn't see anything.

So what now? No matter what the outcome, even if it was just her own foolish death, Liao Xianglin wanted to witness it. She wanted to see the world with her own eyes, not just through someone else's retelling of it.

There were fewer and fewer people around because they were further away from the shelter and closer to the Lu family.

Everyone seeks profit and avoids harm, and this is the source of the crisis.

Liao Xianglin was a little shocked when she saw the glass windows of the Lu family explode and the bricks peeling off piece by piece, as if she had not run to the Lu family manor, but to the foot of the volcano.

The anger that had been accumulating for many years was unstoppable once it erupted, and that force had not yet stopped and was still gradually pressing down.

Liao Xianglin was like a stone falling at a high speed. Because of the loss of weight, he fell again before he could stand firmly, and then he could never get up again.

She felt so insignificant in front of the collapsing old world. Just as she thought, she was witnessing the downfall of the Lu family. The fountains in the garden, the towering arches, the spire of the house, the beautiful botanical garden, and the intricate and beautiful patterns carved on the buildings were all destroyed like falling dominoes.

Liu Yu once complained to herself, don’t you think the Lu family is so unfashionable?

Liao Xianglin was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yu stuck out her tongue. It was really so unfashionable.

Liao Xianglin was afraid at first, but later she joined Liu Yu in complaining, so they all laughed together. The Lu family's house was either ugly or simply old-fashioned. The outdated decoration had only one purpose, which was to make people feel authoritative and expensive.

Now all those things were shattered. Liao Xianglin didn't know what Liu Yu would think if she were present. She probably wouldn't applaud, but would just yawn and say it was boring.

Liu Yu had no interest in the Lu family, and didn't want to even glance at them, whether it was prosperity or destruction.

The broken glass fragments brushed past her body, piercing Liao Xianglin's arms and thighs. The pain hit her, and this time Liao Xianglin could not stand up at all.

Yet she was still witnessing, not even daring to blink, as she saw a shadow among the crumbling houses.

Amidst the ruins, a young girl was wearing a halter top, her entire body stained red with blood, making it seem as if she were wearing a bright red coat over her pajamas. Her long hair was wet, like a mermaid's, with sticky blood dripping from the ends.

She was like a walking source of disaster, leaving destruction wherever she went.

Her eyes were so sharp and her features so familiar that Liao Xianglin thought of Liu Yu the moment he saw her, and blurted out, "Nian Nian!"

The girl walking in the ruins stopped and glanced towards the source of the sound.

Liao Xianglin's heart beat so fast that it seemed like it was about to explode. She suddenly remembered that Liu Yu had once lay in the same bed with her.

"If I had a daughter, she would be named Nian Nian."

"Why?"

"Because there is Yu every year."

"You're so unfashionable too."

Liao Xianglin and Liu Yu laughed together. Niannian could not be used as a real name, so the girl was finally named Lu Yuan. But Liao Xianglin always remembered the moment when Liu Yu named her Niannian.

Have Yu every year!

It's so rustic, but Liu Yu likes it very much. When Liao Xianglin called her, it was like she was calling her friend. She was calling Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, who died in an accident and whom he never saw for the last time.

Niannian stopped. She was not wearing shoes, and her feet were worn and covered in blood. She looked like a newly born demon. Liao Xianglin was the first human being she had seen since she was born.

Niannian tilted her head. Her body was covered with Lu Yao's blood, her father's blood. The hot blood was stuffy on her body, as if she was wearing an overly heavy coat.

Killing was easier than she thought, as she initially held a knife, but later realized the blade was just a tool and she could kill simply by raising her hand.

Nian Nian observed her own hands, with blood scabs on her ten fingers. She thought that such a pair of hands were so strong. Her mother also had them, but they were taken away from her.

The aftereffects of killing someone were still flowing through her body, making her uncontrollably excited and even wanting to destroy the world.

She has a rebellious mentality. Liu Yu died because of the survival of all mankind, and she feels that this so-called great cause is another murderer who killed her mother.

The journey of revenge has no end. The avenger kills one person after another, the direct executioner, the accomplice, the bystander, and finally the whole world.

She still remembers the list of Avengers who killed Liu Yu and Zhuang Lin.

Teacher Qi must have chosen the wrong person. A madwoman like her was entrusted with the responsibility of saving the world, and in the end all of humanity would die together.

At this moment, she saw that Liao Xianglin's heart was numb and there was no emotion in his heart. It was as if she was looking at someone from another world.

The woman who fell got up. She was so fragile that she had no special abilities at all. She might have been attracted here because Liu Yu had planted a seed in her. Could it be that Liao Xianglin was mentally polluted?

Nian Nian felt a little sorry for her, as if she was looking at a tool that was wound up and couldn't stop.

But Liao Xianglin was still running. She had to run here with a limp, even though she guessed that Liu Niannian was the real culprit behind the fall of the Kingdom of God.

The crackling sound almost made people lose their minds. Liao Xianglin fell down and got up again. It was not her fault. The current crisis was beyond her understanding.

The energy supply pipeline below failed, and the defense walls were completely destroyed. The First Military Region, which was suspended below the Kingdom of God, took emergency shelter and tried to escape the shadow of the Kingdom of God like a spaceship.

The speed was not fast enough, and the land of the First Military District hit a corner of the Kingdom of God. The huge power tore apart the defense wall of the First Military District.

The high-speed friction brought about flames, and the kingdom of God seemed to be wrapped in a layer of flames, falling like a meteorite.

The mission of the First Military Region is to protect the Kingdom of God, but now it has to find ways to escape from the Kingdom of God. The guards are fleeing one after another, which Su He sees as a grand show.

It doesn't have to be effective, just fun.

Su He watched all this through the camera. It was a subtle feeling that his wish for so many years was fulfilled by others.

People with special abilities left the First Military Region like dumplings. They were better at surviving than the people of the Kingdom of God at any time. The unlucky ones were the native humans of the Kingdom of God.

But at this time, probably no one will care about those rich people who live a life of luxury and debauchery. Money has lost its power in an instant, and no one is willing to waste their life to save it.

The Kingdom of God fell rapidly, crushing the First Military District below. This may be the largest man-made accident in human history, and the fall will produce unpredictable impact force.

The humans in Zone 2 entered the underground shelter. Can the shelter be strong enough to withstand the potential energy of the landing? Can the nearby areas withstand the aftermath?

Just like throwing a stone into the water, the ripples can be fatal.

Liu Niannian didn't care, nor did she want to think. She watched everything coldly as humans released the devil with their own hands.

Suddenly, she fell into a gentle embrace. Liao Xianglin hugged her. His strength was not strong but very warm, just like a mother's embrace.

"Year after year." Liao Xianglin said softly.

She thought Liao Xianglin would say a lot, maybe like Lu Yao, he would say, "I want to protect you," or ask her to stop.

Liu Niannian doesn't trust these things. No one can protect her except herself.

Liao Xianglin held her tenderly in his arms and sighed childishly, "I found you."

Liu Niannian suddenly wanted to cry, as if a lost child was suddenly found. The embrace that Liu Yu had missed for many years was replenished at this moment, and it crossed time and space to hug her.

It turned out that Liao Xianglin was just looking for her. He had no requirements for her, no long lectures, no accusations, he just wanted to find her in person.

I found you.

Liu Niannian remembered that Liu Yu played hide-and-seek with him, and he found her in the closet and shouted exaggeratedly, "I found you."

She remembered Liu Yu taking her out to play, showing her the world in various civilian areas, picking her up from school, drawing pictures for her, driving her out of the human survivor area, and crashing into the edge of the north wall with a bang.

The message Liu Yu left before her death was too complicated. Liu Niannian had to patiently understand it and try to decipher the code. She had to guess over and over again countless times: Does my mother really love me?

She found examples to support her opinion and then found counter-arguments to refute it, wavering between love and hate.

My mother loves me very much.

In Liao Xianglin's arms, Liu Niannian understood that whether Liao Xianglin was Liu Yu's puppet or not, whether it was due to spiritual pollution or his own drive, was not so important.

Liu Yu's last painting was a lighthouse. She didn't say anything, but if she wanted her daughter to follow her own destiny, she should have stopped painting at utopia.

She painted a place farther than utopia, the end of the world that she had never reached.

I hope you can go further than I did.

The roar suddenly stopped, as if at the climax of the movie, the director suddenly muted the sound, leaving the audience in a vacuum of silence, holding their breath.

The Kingdom of God fell from a rapid speed to a slowdown. For an island floating in the air, slowing down is more difficult than falling, and requires greater strength to support it.

The shadow of the Kingdom of God became softer, the potential energy generated decreased, and finally it was almost still, and it slowly descended after crushing the tallest building in the second area.

boom--

The disappeared background music restarted, the roar exploded, the eardrums bulged, and the audience's hearts trembled. The land of the Kingdom of God overlapped with the second area and fell like a feather.

This description is very strange, because such a huge monster crushed all the buildings in the second district. How could a weight of tens of millions of tons be like a feather?

But the fact is that the Kingdom of God fell very gently.

Zhu Ning devoured Prometheus.

Her arm passed through Prometheus' chest. He was probably in disbelief, but he couldn't make any complete human reaction, so he just stood there in a daze.

So Zhu Ning took another step forward.

The surface of the mycelium was soft and fragile, and blue juice would burst out when crushed. Prometheus was like a puppet torn in half, with half of Zhu Ning's shoulder piercing through his body.

He finally made a more vivid expression, frowning in pain, his body trembling uncontrollably, and dense mycelium growing out of the wound in an attempt to stop Zhu Ning's actions, but each time it grew out, it was quickly dyed black.

Zhu Ning's body physically overlapped with his, as if she had unzipped a zipper and then walked into Prometheus' body with ease.

Prometheus was split in the middle, his body was collapsing. What was more terrifying than the physical pain was the loss of power. The lines he controlled were broken one by one. Zhu Ning really swallowed him and replaced him.

Zhu Ning's swallowing process was not pleasant. Prometheus was a machine, and its natural design could carry excessive amounts of information. Now, all these complex information networks were shouldered by her.

The spark of fire killed the fire thief and took on the fire thief's responsibilities.

In just a moment, tens of thousands of pieces of information flooded into Zhu Ning's mind. Her individual thoughts were constantly collapsing and compressing, as if her soul was traveling back and forth between different dimensions.

She walked into Prometheus's cage and could only watch the world through a narrow screen.

Zhu Ning's perspective was chaotic and disordered, as if he had turned into a dragonfly with fifty to sixty thousand eyes distributed in every corner of the world.

She was one of the 100,000 robots in an automated factory. Suddenly, she lost her ability to move, and hundreds of thousands of machines simultaneously shut down. She sounded the alarm: "Machine failure, please inspect immediately."

The next second she was a patrol member on the streets of the district. Every time she patrolled, passers-by were scared. They were tall and fully armed, and could arrest people with just a suspicious look. Now they all stopped, like strange sculptures.

She saw the familiar Labao. The little robot had many more of its kind than she had imagined. She remembered that the first thing she saw when she woke up outside Area 103 last time was Labao.

Labao didn't notice him and hid in the corner to sleep, so Zhu Ning's sight shifted away again.

She is the city's surveillance system, capturing everyone's emotions. Her perspective zoomed in, and she saw a man standing on the rooftop. He was probably about to commit suicide, and now he was staring blankly into the distance. In the distance, the kingdom of God was falling.

She saw Exit F-03 on the north wall, the exit where Liu Yu led the team out of the wall, the special exit used by the Pilgrims Organization, and the site where Zhu Yao fell.

There was chaos at the foot of the north wall. The psychics sent by Xuan Qing jumped down from the top of the wall and surrounded Teacher Qi. There was chaos over there and no one paid attention to Zhu Yao in the corner for the time being.

Her body was covered in blood, and a pocket pistol lay beside her. The metal casing had been crushed by Teacher Qi, and Zhu Ning could tell at a glance that there was no possibility of repairing it.

Zhu Yao was dying. She read the message and realized that her injuries were too severe to be treated with ordinary healing agents.

The camera on the north wall rotated, and the raised lens pointed downward, aiming at Zhu Yao below.

The first generation Zhu Ning died thousands of times just to find the mother of this world, and now Zhu Ning really found her.

Zhu Yao's face filled the camera, and Zhu Ning observed her face carefully.

She had shot her mother to death in the zombie world, and the wound was right here. She could mark the exact location where the bullet had passed through. It was a shot she had fired herself.

If Zhu Ning wanted, she could control a gun on the defensive wall right now and shoot at the overlapping location in her memory, killing her mother again.

Zhu Yao's eyes looked upwards, and Zhu Ning didn't know whether his mother was looking at the sky or at him.

Her throat was filled with blood and her eyelids were weighed down by the blood, but she refused to close her eyes.

In the past, Zhu Yao was the one hiding behind the screen watching Zhu Ning, but now their positions have been switched, and the mastermind behind the scenes is completely exposed to the outside world.

Zhu Ning knew that she really had a button in her hand that could destroy herself.

If it didn't exist, Huo Wenxi wouldn't have to take the risk of informing Xuan Qing, and Xuan Qing wouldn't have to give the order to shoot.

But no one knows where it is, and no one knows how to make it work. It may be a magic command.

Do you know I'm watching you? Do I meet your expectations?

Zhu Ning couldn't speak, and asked silently in her heart. She knew that she was just a tool for Zhu Yao to realize his ideal, and she was moving forward according to the established procedures set by Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao set up the Alpha series in order to devour and become the new container of the world, and Zhu Ning completed every step very well.

Now, Zhu Ning's eyes are cameras and she can't shed tears, so even if she is very emotional now, it seems like she is sealed inside the machine and can only digest it by herself.

She had anticipated what she would say to Zhu Yao when they met, but when they actually met, she realized that she didn't really want to know the answer.

It’s not that I’ve let it go, but… I don’t care.

This is not her mother, just a researcher who created herself.

The current Zhu Yao cares more about her plan. She desperately clung to Teacher Qi's thigh in order to protect her old friend Liu Yu's daughter, who was a child born with love.

She came to the north wall probably just to kill Teacher Qi completely.

Zhu Yao's eyes were out of focus. Zhu Ning guessed that she was looking at the sky covered with yellow sand in the distance. If possible, she probably wanted to take a look at the falling kingdom of God.

She is ambitious and ruthlessly advances her plan to become the mother of the Alpha series. Between the whole world and revenge, she clearly chooses the latter and wants to kill Prometheus.

As she wished, everything she planned was going on. Teacher Qi was surrounded and his left leg was cut off. The insects' recovery rate could not keep up with the speed of their elimination.

Countless bullets pierced her body, and the electromagnetic mutant suppressed her tightly.

Teacher Qi has always refused to believe in fate and is determined to take a few more steps towards the Kingdom of God even at the risk of his life.

Suddenly, Zhu Yao's eyes turned, as if they had gained focus, and she discovered the camera on the wall looking down at her.

Zhu Ning guessed that she saw him and actually wanted to escape, but she was just a camera now and had no way to escape.

Zhu Yao's lips touched it, and a hoarse sound came from his throat filled with blood.

Zhu Ning was stunned. Zhu Yao's voice was very soft, but she heard it.

Zhu Yao stared at the camera above, and when he was about to die, he thought about the whole process of how he created Zhu Ning.

She came out of the laboratory, exhausted from working overtime for more than twenty-six hours, and had a midnight snack with several other researchers who were also working overtime.

Working overtime to the limit makes people very divided, sometimes dazed and sometimes excited. Zhu Yao chewed his food numbly.

"Where did you install it for her?" asked a researcher in the same group.

They were very curious. Zhu Yao was the person in charge and she was the only one present during the installation process; no one else saw it.

After all, when creating a demon, one must leave a back door for oneself so that one can intervene in time even if a disaster occurs.

Zhu Yao took a sip of milk and said, "Secret."

The researcher clicked his tongue and yawned. No one responded, so the only sound was the chewing of food.

Behind a glass wall lay the Alpha series test subject, Zhu Ning was still sleeping.

After a while, someone said, "Do you think we are like God?"

"ha?"

"Just give life to the object and give it tasks."

Zhu Yao remained silent and didn't join in the conversation, but they were actually having a great time chatting. "Have you seen that joke? When God created humans, he was saying, 'Give us some courage, some kindness,' or something like that."

"What do you want to say?"

"Isn't that our job? To give the test subjects various personality traits."

The researcher didn't get a response, so he wanted to pull Zhu Yao into the water. He nudged Zhu Yao with his elbow and said, "Boss, what do you think? What do you want to give her?"

Zhu Yao was silent for a moment. She had just given the experimental subject a name, and no one else knew anything about it.

Zhu Yao crushed the milk carton, not wanting to join in this boring topic.

The researcher was a little disappointed, and another person suddenly said, "Free yourself."

Zhu Yao was about to clean up the mess and go home to sleep, but he stopped because of these words. The researcher held his chin and dreamed, unaware that Zhu Yao was watching.

"If we were truly God, shouldn't we give her freedom?"

God certainly does not want the life he created to be forced to follow established procedures. People with natural souls must be free.

Zhu Ning is not just Zhu Yao's personal creation, she is the crystallization of a team.

Zhu Yao found it difficult to summarize her relationship with Zhu Ning. Was she her daughter? Or her experimental subject?

There should be a delicate balance between the two. Zhu Yao needs to inject soul into her and must hope that she has a complete self.

The wind and sand hit Zhu Yao's face, and her blood gradually stained the yellow sand. Zhu Yao lay in the corner of the north wall. The medical team she had called was on their way. She heard a new flying car landing and someone in a white coat jumped out.

There were obviously many people around Zhu Yao, but it seemed like she was the only one there.

She thought of the deceased Huo Huaiying and Liu Yu, and thought that she could see the faces of her old friends before she died, but in fact there was no revolving lantern.

Only a cold camera accompanied her. She knew that Zhu Ning was still alive. When she was created, no one could have imagined that one day she would gain strength from Zhu Ning and be able to face death.

Zhu Ning was in the far north and could do nothing. The only thing he could do was to accompany her.

The robots created accompany their creators through death in a silent way.

The medical team finally arrived. They placed Zhu Yao on a stretcher, put a breathing mask on her, and someone gave her an injection in the chest.

Rescuers were testing her pupil response, as if shining a bright light through her eyeballs and into her soul.

The doctor pressed Zhu Yao's chest rhythmically, and various sophisticated instruments were used on her. She was also a doctor and knew that this was a doctor's daily routine and that they had to fight against death.

Any slight error would affect the result. Besides, this was not an operating room at all, but a mess. There was definitely something terrifying in the wind and sand, rapidly approaching the north wall. She was hovering between life and death.

Zhu Yao's eyelids became heavier and heavier. No matter how hard she tried to keep them open, she could only keep them half open. She couldn't help but let them slowly close.

If I could, I would give you your freedom back.

Zhu Yao spoke while she was still able to speak. She was the only one who could control Zhu Ning. As long as Zhu Yao died, no one in the world would know where the button of destruction was. Zhu Ning would no longer be anyone's puppet and would not have to realize other people's careers. She would usher in a truly free life.

The wind and sand hit the wall, as if hitting Zhu Ning's body.

The aftereffects of devouring Prometheus appeared. She had too many bodies and eyes, as well as too many emotions, and even her sadness was doubled.

Zhu Ning clearly didn't care about Zhu Yao anymore, but now he hoped that she wouldn't die in front of him.

Zhu Ning gazed into the distance. The Kingdom of God was falling like a fireball out of control. The wind and sand outside the north wall were getting thicker and thicker, and visibility was only one meter. Everyone saw something extending its tentacles in the yellow sand. Just as the team was evacuating, a huge monster was approaching the north wall.
