"Do you remember what I swore during our video conference?" Shi Yin asked the leader in a low voice, having finished eating.
"The long night and the crimson moon are coming, and I will fight against them until my death." The commander coughed lightly.
These words sound like something out of an animated film. For someone his age to repeat these words, there's a certain amount of shame in it.
Fortunately, the people around were exchanging pleasantries. This was a special situation, and the temple had brought out its treasured wines. Everyone ate heartily, and no one heard the leader say those words.
“If you fall down, you get up from there. I’m saying this because I couldn’t get through this ordeal, and neither can they.” Shi Yin explained, “Killing Leviathan and Samael will cause one to lead to a long night and the other to a red moon.”
"The Long Night and the Red Moon also appeared during the Blizzard, but at that time it was only Envy and Wrath using some of their abilities. When Agareth killed Asmodeus, he also broke their power."
"But now that half of the Seven Deadly Sins are dead, they will definitely be on alert. In other words, even if we kill them all next, they will still create a death peak and pollute the world. That's when we should deal with the excess plants."
As she spoke, Shi Yin thought for a moment and said, "If we're lucky, we might be able to take care of some of them as well."
Huh? It's not just a simple oath?
The leader pondered.
In fact, Agatha Christie once said that he became a clarion call to awaken the lost in the name of glory, and he did indeed sacrifice himself to awaken the lost humanity.
“Wait a minute, you said that whatever you stumbled or fell on was your oath, and Tyr said that he transformed himself into a raging fire to ward off the cold in the name of protection, but the cold has already passed smoothly.” The commander had a good memory and remembered everything they said very clearly.
“Is it possible that this isn’t about a natural disaster?” Shi Yin said slowly. “But he’ll most likely survive. He’s different from Agaray. Agaray’s wish is to die a worthwhile death.”
The commander-in-chief had a bad feeling. Something felt wrong. How could the victory and declaration of battle have turned into a death proclamation?
He initially thought they were just joking around, just having fun, but now it's all become real?
"Relax, I've seen what the post-apocalyptic world looks like. Humanity isn't 100% doomed." Shi Yin patted the leader on the shoulder: "It's only 99.7%. We say that because we've been stuck in these few time periods the most."
Commander-in-Chief: "..."
Okay, that's enough. Now I'm even more worried!
What are you talking about? 99.7%? Are you serious?
Therefore, to uphold justice through victory means to define justice through victory, and to reach the end of time regardless of the outcome means to live to the end in every rebirth and see the result of every choice.
The leader was certainly clever. As soon as Shi Yin said that they hadn't said anything nonsense, the leader immediately figured out the meaning behind their words.
Compared to attacks from sonic powers, the rampant growth of plants causes the least damage. We can only try to control the plants once either the sonic power or the heat is eliminated; otherwise, humans may not be able to cope.
But how do we fight off plants?
Can we replant the plants that have grown back? With global crop failures, it's unrealistic to cut down all these tall and large plants, right?
The commander pressed his temples and thought, "Forget it, it's too early to think about these things now. Let's deal with the immediate issues first. There's still a lot to deal with."
"Speaking of which, where is Bei Qingchuan?" Shi Yin asked in confusion. She had just glanced at him and saw him chatting and laughing with people on both sides of the table. How come he was gone when she looked up now?
"Oh, him? The abbot can't come to eat, so someone will deliver our meals after we finish eating. He knows the abbot here, so he said he would deliver the meals to the abbot himself." The general manager explained, "It's a pity that he's not one of our station's hosts."
"Isn't he?" Shi Yin was surprised. She had always thought that Bei Qingchuan was the host of the National Radio and Television Station. Didn't Bei Qingchuan often appear on the National Radio and Television Station's programs?
"We acted too late; by the time we found out, he had already signed a contract with his own TV station." The manager shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "But it's alright, we'll bring him here. Do you think any other station would dare refuse to release him?"
Shi Yin: "..."
That's true. Some things are definitely decided by the government. Who would dare to go against the government?
"How's the radio program preparation going?" Since the topic had come up, Shi Yin decided to discuss work with the headmaster: "Now that all the entertainment platforms have been opened up, everyone must be quite busy, right?"
Commander-in-Chief: "Yes, but it will probably take at least half a month to get back to work. After they resume their posts, we'll have to consider maintenance issues. We can only officially go live once they've finished maintaining everything..."
Shi Yin: "Stop making weird, serious programs. What people need now is entertainment, not lecturing."
The Commander-in-Chief: "...I understand, I will remind them."
The rear Zen temple.
This is the most secluded courtyard, located on the back side of the mountain peak, facing the doomsday beacon of the Yanlong Kingdom. At night, you can see the lights of thousands of homes.
The courtyard gate, which had been closed for years, was now open, and the surrounding plants were lush, clearly left by someone who had trimmed them, making the place even more serene.
Kitakami Kawa carried his tray through the bamboo grove. He looked at the open door with slight surprise, but did not hesitate for long before going inside.
Upon entering, Kita Kiyokawa could hardly recognize Abbot Huiming.
Kitakyoukawa has a good relationship with Mingtai Temple, and he met Abbot Huiming through playing chess.
During high school, I accidentally wandered into the backyard and saw Abbot Huiming playing chess with me. I watched from the sidelines. Abbot Huiming invited Bei Qingchuan to play chess with him. Unexpectedly, Bei Qingchuan played chess very well, and thus we became friends.
Abbot Huiming was less than twenty years older than Bei Qingchuan, but he was middle-aged and in excellent health.
But now, the person kneeling on the prayer mat is very old, and his back, wrapped in a cassock, looks so thin that he seems about to collapse at any moment, appearing quite frail.
"Abbot?" Bei Qingchuan cautiously stopped at the door.
"Oh? It's Qingchuan." Abbot Huiming turned around upon hearing this, his smile still kind and gentle: "I already said that apart from Shiyin and the headmaster, they actually let you in. You must be laughing at us."
"I'm sorry, I probably didn't control my abilities well enough, and it affected them." Bei Qingchuan apologized subconsciously, "But, Abbot Huiming, you, you..."
“Alas, Amitabha, you too have been tainted by the karma of Shiyin.” Abbot Huiming sighed deeply: “Last time I saw that your destiny was going to last a long time, but this time it is almost invisible.”
"Huh?" Kita Kiyokawa was taken aback: "Last time we played chess, you suddenly decided to tell my fortune, didn't you say my lifeline was very healthy?"
Last time it was said that although they weren't extremely wealthy, they were fortunate to be safe and well. Why can't we see that this time?
“If you want to live, you have to leave Shi Yin’s side first.” Abbot Huiming smiled and sighed: “Shi Yin’s fate is solitary and evil. The dark aura is so thick that it almost covers her. Anyone who gets close to her will be tainted by karma.”
"Getting close to her will affect your destiny. You still have a chance to leave now, but it will be too late if you wait any longer."
