Announce the death of Nightmare?
Old Lan's expression didn't show much surprise.
In fact, the human race's high command had also considered this matter.
It is even brought up for separate discussion every now and then.
However, the result of each discussion was the same.
Let's wait a little longer.
It's not time yet.
They are having a hard time determining whether people can handle the news.
There's no way around it; what nightmares represent is far too significant for the human race.
Moreover, as the strongest being, Nightmare's announcement of his death would shake people's faith in the strongest being.
but,
Ye Bai's idea also has its merits.
The most important thing for Nightmare right now is to be laid to rest.
If that lingering soul remains restless, it's a bad thing, not a good thing, for the nightmare!
Only by allowing Him to be completely at peace and truly die can He have a chance to be resurrected!
Announcing the death to the public is the most direct method.
Old Lan certainly understood this, which is why he found it troublesome.
From the perspective of the human race, if this matter is important to Nightmare, then the human race is willing to do it no matter what the cost.
We survived thirty years of bloody battles, we survived the darkest hour.
Life is getting better and better, and we are becoming stronger and stronger.
There's no reason why I'm getting more and more timid.
This is the confidence and strength of the human race, even a hundred years ago.
"This matter..."
Old Lan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said,
"Why don't you talk to Him?"
Let the strongest decide what matters.
Whatever the outcome, the human race will accept it gladly.
Ye Bai nodded.
"good."
...
The Eternal Forest.
Master Ying Er returned, hopping and skipping, and led Ye Bai to a secluded corner.
Ye Bai saw three graves.
"This is mine, and this is also mine."
Shadow Two excitedly pointed to the two graves and introduced them.
He built two graves for himself.
Shadow Two pointed to the last grave and said,
"This one is for my half-godfather."
Nightmare is considered half of Shadow Two's adoptive father, so Xiaoyao is Shadow Two's third uncle.
The kinship with the strongest being must not be disrupted!
Ye Bai: ......
He suddenly thought of a question and asked in return,
"You said you'd burn paper money for me, where did you burn it?"
Shadow Two's face stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly.
"They burn everything they go... The offerings were eaten by that wicked woman, Fourth Master, you don't mind, do you?"
"You nasty thing, didn't you eat anything?!"
Seeing that Master Ying had perked up again, Ye Bai didn't know what to say.
Let's get down to business first.
Ye Bai looked at the grave in the very center.
The stone coffin he brought back is buried in this tomb.
Xue Meng wasn't one to care much about appearances, and being buried in the Eternal Forest was the best place for Xue Jiu.
Moreover, Master Ying patted his chest and said he would take the initiative to hold the funeral for his half-godfather and observe mourning for thirty years.
Xue Meng simply let Ying Er handle the whole process.
On the day the funeral procession began, Shadow Two wailed the entire time, repeatedly shouting, "Father, you died so tragically!"
Xue Meng was speechless.
He discovered for the first time that adopted sons were quite annoying!
Don't you have a father?!
You're trying to steal my dad here!
Xue Meng, the adopted son, never imagined that he would have such a day.
However, Xue Meng didn't hold it against Ying Erye.
On the one hand, he knew that Master Ying was not mentally sound.
On the other hand, Xue Meng truly treated Ying Erye as a brother.
Now when we go out to eat, I always ask Master Ying to pay the bill.
Master Ying burned some paper money, then, carrying a plate of offerings, hid aside to steal a bite.
Ye Bai was left alone, talking to Xue Jiu at the grave.
This grave doesn't even have a tombstone.
The reason is simple.
Although they buried Xue Jiu, they firmly believed that Xue Jiu could come back to life.
Why would you want that unlucky thing?
Sitting in front of the grave, Ye Bai yawned and drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, he saw his elder brother, who still had that gentle demeanor.
Ye Bai explained his purpose and his considerations.
After listening, Nightmare shared his thoughts.
"There's no need to emphasize this matter. We can just release a list of those who died in battle, and Xue Jiu's name can be included."
Nightmare's idea is simple.
"I wasn't announced to the world when I was born, and when I die, I'm just another person dying. What difference is there between me and everyone else?"
No need.
They're all the same.
Ye Bai remained silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Xue Jiu's idea.
That's how we'll handle this.
After that day,
A group of statues have appeared in the plaza outside the Eternal Forest.
Every day, a steady stream of tourists come to the square to look at the statues, remember history, and never forget it, never dare to forget it.
Offer a flower to these statues, say a few words, let the sunlight fall on the children's faces, and let the children's laughter echo above the eternal forest.
Among these statues, there is one that is inconspicuous.
Half of his face was covered, making it impossible to see his features. He had a sword and a knife at his waist, which looked rather incongruous.
There's nothing special about this statue; it's just one of the people.
He was protected by those around him, and he also protected those around him.
This is a warrior who sacrificed his life during the past century and thirty years of bloody wars fought by the human race.
That's all.
Nothing special.
The only interesting thing was that his shadow was incredibly long.
Perhaps it was the shadow that attracted the child's attention, because a little girl ran over.
The little girl stood in front of the statue and, in a childish voice, laboriously pronounced the person's name.
"Xue... Jiu..."
