Chapter 287: Windowless Vientiane (Part 7) She is the World
Vifiya moved her fingertips, and the butterfly that was creating a barrier for Isidore and the others flapped its wings rapidly, and powder between its wings fell, making the barrier stronger and preventing them from crossing.
He heard their urgent calls from behind, but he seemed not to hear them.
The scepter was placed horizontally, and the eye was suspended in the palm of his hand. Small magic circles on his palm passed through the eye.
Driven by magic power, it slowly rises.
Vifiya stretched her hand behind her, and a huge burst of magic power actually destroyed the six wings. Blood and feathers splattered everywhere, and severe pain spread throughout her body.
The voices behind him stopped in disbelief, and he heard their trembling.
His left hand firmly grasped the Sun and Moon Ring. All the parts of his body belonging to Valega were wriggling under the power of his magic. Although he had merged with Valega, it was not particularly difficult to remove his parts.
They slowly crawled out from his fingertips and plunged into the Sun-Moon Ring. In just a moment, the Sun-Moon Ring was crushed into powder by him without any expression.
The Sun and Moon Rings did not take out power. Like the six wings, they had become a part of Vephia. They were connected to Her, and severing them was no different from cutting off a part of one's own body.
Vifiya couldn't help but frown at the pain, but she controlled her body so that it didn't tremble at all.
He took a deep breath, and the air seemed to shake. The dust-like sun and moon rings floated with his fingers and rushed into his eyes.
A magic circle that was enough to make the soul tremble unfolded at her feet, spitting out a series of obscure runes. A white, yet colorful power moved out of her body, following the runes and into her eyes.
Vifiya opened her eyes as blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
Keep moving your closed eyes back until there is enough space to restore them to their original size.
Ancient runes flew towards the eyes, encircling Him, circle after circle. With each circle, the rune's color faded a little, until the rune disappeared completely.
Capri's blue eyelashes were tinged with gold, and opened Vifiya's familiar sun and moon pupils.
He could sense that Valega's godhood was complete.
But the world is already weak and it is unable to announce the birth of a new god.
Vifiya stared into his eyes. The self-injury he had just suffered made him lack the strength to speak: "You must save them."
He lowered his eyes, placed his hand on his heart, magic surged between his palms, and his brow softened: "[Vefiya], it's time to begin."
"I'm ready." [Vifiya] didn't need to make any preparations for this matter. She observed the changes in Jiang Suian's emotions, but she always found sadly that his emotions were no longer the same as before.
[Vifiya] was unwilling to accept Jiang Suian's fate, but she could do nothing because her power was too small.
She wanted to tell Jiang Suian that if the world was destroyed, it would be destroyed. If the world was a grave, then it would be everyone’s grave, not just yours.
You already have the power, so it's okay to let everyone be buried with you. If you still want the world to exist, then let it exist. All living things will disappear, let the world start working again, and re-select its ruler.
But she understood Jiang Suian, and precisely because of that understanding, she couldn't say those words, nor could she stop him at all costs.
She looked at her empty hands, Jiang Suian was not her.
Valega released all of his magic power to cover the entire continent, the sun and moon shone, and the six wings were pure white.
A tremendous force burst out in Vifiya's heart.
This is His power, destiny and timing.
He wants to reset the world, he wants to reverse the fate of all living beings, he wants to bring back all the dead creatures, including his friends.
His power alone is not enough.
Bits of transparent light emanated from His body and merged with the earth.
A warm force like spring swept across the entire continent.
The world stopped wailing, the flooded seawater returned to its original home, and the earth closed its wounds.
Two ancient magic circles that fully covered the continent unfolded, one in the sky and the other on the ground. Deep and huge runes connected the upper and lower parts. The power between the runes was so strong that ordinary people could feel it.
On the dry and hopeless earth, the remaining living creatures were in a state of distress. They were shocked speechless by the sudden scene, but they didn't understand why. This time, would it be complete destruction or increased despair?
Many fine and dense translucent light spots appeared around them, and then the runes burst out with a fierce and dazzling light. The surviving humans and aliens had to close their eyes.
The whole world became quiet in an instant.
The light is gone and the scene before my eyes seems to be getting dark.
Mei felt a hand on her palm, a warm hand, and unusually familiar.
She trembled all over, and another hand came to her, and a familiar voice called out in her ear: "Mei."
The voice in her dream made her shudder. What she saw was the pair of clear eyes that she thought she would never see again. Before her brain could think, her mouth had already spoken: "Sister."
Tears flowed as he spoke.
"Yeah." Vivienne smiled.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the dense crowd. She looked over in disbelief and saw the strange look on Marlene's face. She felt herself up and down. She glanced at her intact leg and all the people who had died and come back. She asked Mei, "Is this... the Banquet of the Dead?"
The same question arises everywhere on the mainland.
The creatures discovered that all the dead people and aliens had returned.
Every dead creature, every torn creature, every creature that disappeared in the beam of light, every creature that was alive but with missing limbs... all came back.
The strange stone pillars on the earth are gone, the collapsed buildings, and the blood-stained ground are all gone. The buildings are still tall, the trees are still green, the new buds on the earth are full of vitality, and the occasional clear chirping of birds brings spring to life.
They looked up and saw the sky was blue. It was so clear and clean that they couldn't help crying and asking questions.
Is this a dream, a miracle, or the world's last mercy before death?
It seemed like a miracle.
They didn't know where the miracle came from, they hugged each other and cried, they wept bitterly, they waited for someone who might know the truth.
A pair of emerald green eyes, clearer and brighter than spring, took in the reactions of the creatures, and he listened to their joy.
His clothes were neat and tidy. "Clang!" The lyre he had always cherished was torn apart unconsciously, and the first drop of blood since the end of the world was shed.
Perhaps it was because the sound of the broken string was so unpleasant that he finally relaxed his grip.
His eyes looked through the sky and seemed to fall on a certain place: "I don't like this story."
This is the bard's least favorite story, no doubt about it!
…
Vifiya wondered if they had ever gained a brief happiness because of her?
I think so.
They shouldn't regret becoming friends with her.
The little life force he had left in his body was slipping away bit by bit. He had felt the loss of it vividly sixteen times.
Unlike the previous sixteen times, His body did not feel cold.
It was unexpectedly good. This time I left in warmth.
As a soul in the same body, [Vifiya] has long been accustomed to the breath of Jiang Suian's soul.
They can know each other's thoughts if they want to.
After becoming a god, Vephia could sense that His soul was higher than her own, and she couldn't discern a single thought. She didn't use this ability to discern, but she could determine the accuracy of her guesses about His true thoughts from the tiny particles of His emotions.
They both used this on each other as well.
Jiang Suian's soul was getting weaker, but hers was not.
She suddenly remembered that before He entered the pure white space, He said a farewell that was no different from His last words.
He had already prepared for the worst.
[Vefiya] finally realized that something was wrong.
"Jiang Suian! You..."
"[Vifiya]." The weak voice easily interrupted her.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Let me be selfish just this once."
After all, she could no longer do anything to Him, nor could she stop Him.
Vifiya's soul trembled: "Jiang Suian! Jiang Suian! How could you lie to me!"
Her mind was filled with rage. She had never been so angry with Him before.
The gazes behind her were scorching. Vifiya turned around and looked at her friends for the first time since she became a god.
In the pure white space, the flow of fate and time is relatively slow, but it is enough.
Kaharun and his companions, who had experienced death very clearly, now stood firmly on the ground. The pain before death still remained in their bodies, and the beating of their hearts in their chests was so strange and familiar.
They couldn't believe it. The world wouldn't allow so many people to be resurrected. So...
They looked towards the people in the empty space of pure white space.
The brilliant golden hair slid down between the black veil. It was a breath different from that of a human. People with magical powers could feel it more clearly. Although they did not hear the world's announcement, an unbelievable thing still emerged in their hearts.
When they took a step forward and wanted to move forward, they were stopped by His indifferent gaze.
He stood there without moving, raised his hand, and the barrier between Isidore and the other two faded away. Heavy butterflies fluttered and landed on his fingertips, and after a moment they returned to his left shoulder.
Isidore staggered a few steps forward and stopped a meter away.
He scanned every face in the pure white space, exactly the same as when he came.
He curled his lips and said, "I'm leaving."
Speechless for a moment, they couldn't figure out what He meant by "go".
"Don't you want to say something to me?" His words gradually became weaker and he smiled softly.
Osa opened her mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Depression is prevalent.
He sighed, his mind filled with [Vifiya]'s angry words.
Helena stood beside Fei Yi and frowned. As an usurper, she was even more shocked and confused by what was happening.
She murmured: "Impossible, how could the world allow it?"
Unless, it is His power.
“Live,” He said.
"Live." He looked at Isidore.
This time, He could not give him the certainty that they would meet again in the future.
Isidore's eyes burned so hard that they hurt. He stretched out his hand in His direction. It was only a few steps away, but it seemed like a very long distance between them.
His gaze fell on his hands, followed his hands, and moved to his eyes.
"That's good." They had already said their goodbyes.
This farewell, which most of them didn't react to, was good.
In His palms, dots of colorful light floated, spreading out in all directions and falling into the bodies of each of them.
It was an incomparably warm magical power that flowed through their bodies, a blessing bestowed by God.
Osa, Kaharun, and Arnold somehow developed an extremely uneasy premonition, and they stopped hesitating and trotted towards Him.
He suddenly smiled a familiar smile, and the divine attire on his body gradually faded away.
There was a sudden flash before my eyes.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
The bird spread its wings and held the branch of the tree firmly with its toes in the air.
What meets the eye is the charred, fine soil.
Kaharun and the others looked up suddenly. All the aliens in the Simparae ruins, including Salis and Hefa who rushed over immediately, the Mei sisters and Marin who asked to come with Xiwang, Xiu, Jewanlin and Letisha...
They are all waiting for their return.
Everyone who came back from the pure white space was present, but the atmosphere between them prevented anyone from speaking first for a while.
Their eyes couldn't help but fall on the girl with blonde hair and red eyes standing by the tree. She lowered her head, clenched her palms, and trembled all over.
The first person to notice the girl was Avril.
Then Isidore and the others looked over eagerly, their eyes filled with hope, trying to get a reassuring answer.
With just one glance, Isidore's heart sank and he knew it was not her.
A faint hum came from the sky, and a hazy drizzle fell.
The world mourns the fall of the gods.
[The goddess Lehomie used her body to complete the abnormality, and the world became whole again. Her true name is Thesmera.
The goddess Sasik, offering her soul, integrates life force into the continent, resets the world, and reverses fate.
This was a miracle God performed for them.
The world is God's miracle.
Their lives were supported by the fall of two gods.
But who was this newborn goddess, the one who had given everything in such a short time? No one could figure it out.
At the moment the world was declared, Isidore shuddered violently, covered his eyes, and the scalding liquid slipped through his fingers.
Once again, it's like this, always like this.
It’s always like this…
Osa pursed her lips tightly and blinked hard, not wanting the tears to fall, but the tears were disobedient and still flowed down her face.
Kaharun raised his hands and tried desperately to wipe away the tears that could not be wiped away. The more he wiped, the more tears came.
Arnold turned his face away and did nothing. The wind blew across his face, and the coldness on his face really froze him.
[Vefiya] slammed her hand hard on the tree trunk, startling the birds into flight.
Fei Yi took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Helena said nothing.
Avril had no expression on her face, her eyes still cold. Feeling the immense sorrow coming from them, she lowered her eyes.
Their appearance filled Salis and the others with an unspeakable silence.
[Goddess Sasik, Her name is Jiang Suian.]
A strange and unfamiliar name appeared before their doubts even appeared on their faces.
[Formerly named Vifia Caseley.]
The entire continent was like a boiling oil pan. Before the "boom" sound could explode, it was extinguished by the next sentence of the world.
【He is a soul from another world.】
The earth fell into a strange silence.
They understood the meaning of each word that the world declared, but when they were put together, they became unsure.
The incredible answer is reality.
"Woo... Woo... Wow!" Vivienne buried herself in Mei's arms and cried loudly. She didn't understand what the soul from another world was, nor did she understand what resetting the world meant. She only knew that Lady Vifiya seemed to still be standing there, but that person was not Vifiya. Lady Vifiya was no longer there. She could never meet Lady Vifiya again, and Lady Vifiya could never touch her head again.
Mei hugged her sister tightly, sobbing softly. Marlene leaned over, her tears wetting Mei's shoulders.
Jiang Suian, they may not recognize this name, but most of them have heard of Vifia Caseley.
Some of them have received her kindness, and some have gained courage from her and are heading towards tomorrow...
Faint weeping could be heard from the continent, and sorrow enveloped the entire land.
It no longer matters which god you are crying for.
People knelt on the ground to mourn, the knights sheathed their swords and half-knelt solemnly; the mermaids sang mournful elegy; the dwarves struck rocks and anvils at the same time, making a deafening roar; the elves sang a long elegy, and the Elf King infused it with magic, so that it would remain in the forest forever; the goblins immediately held a lively carnival, telling him the most interesting and naughty stories, offering him the sweetest nectar, the clearest dewdrops, and the most beautiful insects; the orcs raised their weapons high, hammered their left chests hard, and let out a roar that resounded through the sky; the devils carved his name on the eternal stone tablet, making it an indelible part of their territory; the ghosts used the most powerful sacred magic to give a soul eternal peace, which was the highest respect they could pay.
This is a world where no one dies, everyone is alive, and the only ones who die are two gods.
God was born, God saved the world, God fell, God did not love the world, but God still saved the world.
Isidore suppressed the violent magic within him, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
[Vifiya] punched the tree trunk again and again, as if she was hitting the person who made her angry and could vent her anger. The rough bark of the tree was rubbed red.
She was completely mad, her eyes red as she tirelessly spouted cruel words: "Jiang Suian! Jiang Suian! Jiang Suian! I will never forgive you! I will never forgive you even if I die! I will definitely! I will definitely destroy this damn world! I will destroy it until it is completely rotten! I will destroy it until it is destroyed!"
"Jiang Suian! Jiang Suian! Jiang Suian!"
"How could you lie to me! How could you lie to me!"
"How could you lie to me about something like this..."
Her words were harsh. In Osha and the others' impression, she was always at ease and could play with everyone in the palm of her hand, but now she seemed like a madman.
Even Kaharun, who was extremely sad, couldn't help but look over.
But her eyes said otherwise, her tears said otherwise.
Salis and Kaharun, who used to be most worried that Isidore would lose control if something happened to Vifia, now felt that he was restraining his almost violent magic.
Kahalan, Osa and Arnold all knew that they would not harm this new world in the slightest.
Because she is the world.
