Chapter 260: Where the Gods Fell (Part 6) 4th update...
The tree was too tall, and the sun was too bright, shining brightly above the clouds, making the strangely colored scarlet tree look particularly bright and beautiful, like a red crystal.
All the creatures on the ground looked up at the "sun" in the sky, seemingly simply gazing at it, but vaguely, as if they were hiding some kind of very deep expectation.
Under the gaze of countless people, the "sun" suddenly rose to the sky again. It kept rising, but at a certain moment it suddenly stopped above the clouds.
Just when Chu Xiuyan thought it would fall, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and a terrifying airflow swept the clouds away. In the huge gap created by the air, countless flaming fragments fell in all directions, like a gorgeous but fleeting meteor.
Under the dazzling golden light, the scarlet giant tree burned more fiercely, as if it was going to burn away the last bit of life. However, after just a few breaths, the scarlet giant tree made a crackling sound, and then slowly dissipated like smoke and dust blown away by the wind.
And part of it floated towards where Chu Xiuyan was.
He?was feeling a little uncomfortable at this time. When the "sun" exploded, he?felt tinnitus and dizziness, but he recovered quickly.
Those tiny dots that disappeared from the scarlet giant tree gradually merged into his body.
The Sun self-destructed.
What on earth was He thinking when He made this decision?
…
"Are you absorbing the power of the Sun?"
It was the first time that Chu Xiuyan heard [Earth] actively talking to him. How strange it was, but he was not in the mood at the moment, so he said gloomily: "I don't know, I just felt a resonance, I am easily influenced by other gods."
"Also, I'm not? very? happy now."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually lit up with a scarlet red with a golden glow. He looked towards the Earth, and a dazzling ball of light appeared in the sky above the Earth.
【big? land】:"……"
He felt a little surprised.
Then there was a sudden silence.
He seemed to have truly seen the young man. His face, which was hidden by his hair, was always facing the opposite direction, as if he was deep in thought.
The ball of light in the sky fell with a bang, but was torn apart by a terrifying air current. The Earth, who had been standing there without moving, recalled the brief conversation between the young man and the Sun, and said, "The Sun thanks you. You have an aura that does not belong to Him but does belong to the Sun. So you are another Sun? You come from the future? But this kind of God can use the abilities of other gods..."
His voice stopped, and a second ball of light appeared above his head.
[The earth] looked up, as if looking at the ball of light, and also as if looking through the ball of light to the sky high above.
Even when the ball of light fell, the Earth did not lower its head.
Chu Xiuyan, who was not far away, did not expect the other party to neither dodge nor avoid him. He was slightly stunned, and his mind, which was filled with various complicated emotions, suddenly became empty.
The Earth did not avoid the second falling ball of light. Even until the smoke from the explosion cleared, it still raised its head, as if something in the sky was attracting it.
"I can now answer the question you asked me earlier."
[Big? Earth] brushed the dust off his shoulders. There were almost no obvious scars on his body, as if the ball of light that crashed down was just a sunbath for him.
Chu Xiuyan was stunned: "What?"
"Why kill the other gods?" [Earth] was unexpectedly patient this time, and said: "Because I have known them for a long time, so long that we have fought side by side, so long that we have been each other's most trusted companions. So, I want to save them. But to save them, I can only kill them first. I originally wanted to convince them with words, but unfortunately, they who have become gods do not trust me."
[Big? Earth] slowly walked out of the deep pit created by the light ball and slowly came to Chu Xiuyan.
Chu Xiuyan suddenly felt horrified, he suddenly remembered the god he was fighting against when he found the [Great Land] this time.
“Who is He?”
"who?"
"The last one you killed."
Da Di thought for a while and said quietly, "I don't remember much, maybe it's the rules."
【rule】……
Chu Xiuyan felt a slight dryness in his throat.
Too? Too bad.
This damn timeline.
"Do you want to know the truth?"
The god standing in front of me said: "If you want to know, you have to follow me for the rest of the journey."
The voice of [Big Earth] was exactly the same as Zhang Chun's. When Chu Xiuyan heard it in a trance, he even had the illusion that he couldn't tell where he was.
But soon, he suddenly jumped up and lifted the other's bangs——
That familiar face was completely exposed in front of him!
However,
【Big? Earth】No? His imagined scarlet eyes, not the dark brown eyes of humans.
Instead, it was a creepy, dark void.
There are no eyeballs in His eye sockets.
Chu Xiuyan's hands trembled slightly. He punched out fiercely, hitting the opponent's chest hard. The place where the heart was located was cold, hard, without any temperature, and there was no movement at all. He could only grit his teeth and not make any sound.
The earth paused, and the hollow balls that were floating and rotating around and always facing the surroundings suddenly turned to Chu Xiuyan, silently, as if they were staring at him.
"So I took that as your consent." He said, "What's your name?"
This is a very peaceful question.
At that moment,
Chu Xiuyan felt a faint heartbeat, so brief that it seemed like an illusion.
He? Stunned.
Is that the sound of my own heart beating, or is it coming from the body in front of me made of mud and sand?
…
The feeling of walking on foot is not pleasant.
But the good thing is that the ground will move with him.
That is, he can stay still, but the soil under his feet will actually wriggle, carrying him forward.
Very amazing.
This time he?did not follow?him from a distance, he?walked beside?the Earth, watching?him go to find other gods, watching?him go to fight with them, sometimes getting hurt, sometimes being defeated, fighting again and again, as if he would never retreat.
When Chu Xiuyan asked him why he wanted to save his former companions, the Earth was silent for a long time.
"I don't know." He said, "I don't have any feelings towards them. I only have regional rejection and disgust. They have the same feelings towards me. Sometimes I would just kill them directly - it's not an action based on saving. But the reason that drives me to do this may be the promise I made to them when I was a human. If one day I discover the crisis surrounding us, I must remind them as soon as possible to get them out of trouble, or eliminate the potential danger in advance."
"Now? It's time for me to fulfill my promise, even if I can't understand why I should do that."
Chu Xiuyan hugged his knees and sat beside the fire, looking at the crackling flames. The wind in the wilderness under the starry sky was very strong, but inexplicably, it didn't seem very cold.
Before [Big? Earth] finished speaking, He changed the subject and said, "As for the crisis—I cannot tell you for now."
Chu Xiuyan was so angry that he stood up and kicked him.
The next day, they arrived at a forest.
When they reached a cliff, Chu Xiuyan looked down and found a team in a forest. There were very few of them, and they were moving forward quietly and silently.
In front of the team, there is a very familiar figure.
As if aware of the gaze, the man turned his head alertly.
Chu Xiuyan, right? He raised a pair of cold blue eyes.
At that moment, he laughed out loud, but his voice was hoarse.
The 【big? ground】 behind him looked at him?, "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking," Chu Xiuyan rubbed his face, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a forced smile. He looked at the [earth], as if complaining: "How can you be so xenophobic?"
…
The last person encountered was a humanoid god.
【Dream God】Harris.
Chu Xiuyan finally met an acquaintance with a decent attitude... a familiar god.
But surprisingly, [Big Earth] did not seek out the Dream God to fight, but to seek help.
"You want me to tell your story to your future human self?"
The Dream God casually took a puff of cigarette, the gray smoke swirling in the air, and said: "Okay, but I might die one day, so if I remember, I will tell you."
——Or is it too different from what I imagined?
Chu Xiuyan was? He was complaining in his heart, he? In his impression, Harris was a shy, simple and kind boy.
"What about you? Is there anything you want me to tell your future self?"
Chu Xiuyan saw the Dream God looking at him, so he thought about it, as if making a wish, "Then... tell my future self that we can definitely pass the level with one perfect life!"
Dream God: "Ah, what a great ambition. I'll remember it."
[Earth] didn't seem to be familiar with the Dream God, and quickly took the boy away.
Dream God watched the two figures go away, with a smile on his face that was illusory and mysterious, between truth and falsehood.
The surrounding environment instantly dissipated and turned into a white nothingness.
"One-time? Perfect? Solved? What an arrogant attitude, but not bad either. Very impressive, just like... a savior."
"Savior?"
He was stunned, then laughed loudly: "If it finally comes true, it will be as fake as a fairy tale."
