Chapter 466 Holding a candle to illuminate the world
Focusing his attention on the halo in front of him, Li Muhan finally noticed it.
It doesn't seem to be pure light here.
There is no land under your feet.
Instead, it was a shallow body of water rippling with golden light.
A breeze blew across his face, rippling the boy's hair and making the water under his feet ripple.
Then he heard the voice.
Why are you here?
This voice, like the previous temple owner's, was transmitted directly into Li Muhan's mind.
But Li Muhan felt a little different from before.
Because whether it was Baal or Lucifer that he had met before, they were pure demons in the human impression.
Their voices were filled with greed and desire.
But the sound he heard now was completely different, and it even made Li Muhan feel comfortable. However, he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
[Now that the door is open, you must be asking for something. Tell me why you are here.]
The voice sounded again. It seemed that if he didn't answer, the owner of the voice would not show up.
"I don't know." Li Muhan honestly expressed his inner thoughts: "Maybe you want to hear me say that I want to save the world, I want to save humanity, and I want to bring a bright future to mankind."
He laughed self-deprecatingly. "But to be honest, I don't even know my future. I only chose university because I wanted to pursue the girl I liked. So... I'm actually quite lost in my life. I don't even know who I am."
[Continue]
The owner of the voice did not feel annoyed by Li Muhan's mumbling, but seemed to be encouraging him.
"I recently fell in love with a girl. She's not human, she's a vampire. I felt like I had suddenly found the direction for my future. Everything became clear. I want to be with her and make her happy. Even with someone like me, I still have to work hard."
As Li Muhan spoke, he walked forward, and his tone became as casual as if he was chatting with an old friend.
"Oh, you don't know, that little vampire has a very perverse personality. He always wants to suck my blood. Of course, I'm not a henpecked husband. Forget it, there's no point in telling you this."
You just tell me, and I'll just listen.
"I didn't expect you to be such a gossipy devil."
Li Muhan smiled, and then he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something existing in the distant sky. It was a breath, and also like a slightly closed pupil.
So Li Muhan walked towards the direction of the breath.
"Can you believe it? When I was eighteen..."
Li Muhan walked forward while describing his life as he knew it to the voice.
The scenes around him kept changing. Occasionally, some of the memories he described would appear, and occasionally it would turn into Tianhai City where he lived and walked every day.
【And then】
"Then? Hahahaha, to be honest, I still don't know what Xia Yue did to me that night. Even if we have done everything now, she will never tell me about it on the first night. She will get angry if I tell her."
So, why did you come here?
Finally, the voice asked again.
"Have you heard enough gossip? Well, okay, I can only express my own thoughts. I don't know if this is the answer you want to know."
Li Muhan stopped and felt that he was getting closer and closer to that mysterious aura.
"Because I long for tomorrow, and I hope more people can have tomorrow too... Even if it's just an ordinary day, it's worth cherishing. So... please help me."
At this moment, the surrounding environment began to change dramatically.
The original light gradually faded away, replaced by deep darkness.
The aura in the sky also began to condense and take shape.
An astonishingly huge vertical pupil appeared in Li Muhan's sight.
It is slightly closed, as if it disdains everything in the world.
However, this huge eye is slowly opening at this moment.
Almost at the same moment, the darkness was dispelled and the light shone again. Countless flowers, plants and trees grew in the surrounding empty space, and all things were full of vitality.
A wish as small as a mustard seed, though small, should not be ignored. You have arrived here, chosen by destiny. I understand your choice. I now grant you authority, but be aware that with this power comes hope and disaster. Dark night and rising sun, darkness and light, cannot coexist harmoniously.
When the vertical pupil fully opened, Li Muhan finally saw the true appearance of this existence.
It was a gigantic creature standing tall and upright, bathed in golden light. Its upper body was that of a human with a single vertical pupil, while its lower body was a fiery red snake.
It was also at this time that Li Muhan realized that he seemed to... have misunderstood something.
"...You...are not a demon...you are...a god?"
"...You...are not a demon...you are...a god?"
He couldn't believe why such a majestic god lived in his own Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Hypnos was different; she existed within him to repair his inherent flaws.
But this deity was clearly different.
He was not damaged at all and did not ask Li Muhan for anything.
His existence here seemed to require no reason, pure and simple.
[Between gods and demons, and all things in the universe, all rely on and control each other. As I just said, neither light nor darkness can exist in the world alone.]
The huge figure did not speak, but the solemn and shocking voice echoed in Li Muhan's heart like a huge bell.
Just when Li Muhan was about to say something, the huge god slowly raised his hand and pointed a thick finger at Li Muhan.
I am the god of Zhongshan, the Candle Dragon. I now grant you authority. Now that the gate is open, your shackles are free. Li Muhan, accept my power.
thump--
Li Muhan felt as if his heart was hit by a huge hammer, and the heart-wrenching pain almost made him scream.
He knelt on the ground, pressed his hand against his heart, and gasped for breath.
At the same time, Zhulong's vertical pupils slowly closed, and the night came as expected. Then they slowly opened again, and the day shone on the earth again.
He exhaled slightly, and the surrounding grass, trees, and flowers all withered, and the sky was filled with wind and snow.
He exhaled slightly, and the flowers and plants bloomed again, and the scorching sun's rays illuminated everything.
[By Heaven's command, Li Muhan, please accept my realm...]
“…realm…realm…!”
Li Muhan grabbed his chest tightly, almost gouging out his flesh.
Then he suddenly looked up and looked directly into Zhulong's golden vertical pupils.
"The realm...holding a candle...illuminating the world!"
......
Light and darkness merged into one at this moment, and this space fell into complete deathly silence.
