.

"You can't resist the power of the Gate of Truth." Queen Mother of the West shook her head immediately, "Lin Qiye, you can't vouch for him."

"Then add me."

A voice came from behind the crowd, and Zhou Ping, carrying the black box, slowly walked to Lin Qiye and An Qingyu.

"They are my students and I will be responsible for them." Zhou Ping said seriously.

"And me." A figure jumped down from the top of the palace nearby, carrying a gilded red stick, and landed steadily beside Lin Qiye, "Old Jade Emperor, others may be afraid of you, but I am not... I have Lin Qiye as my own!"

Sun Wukong looked up at the Jade Emperor in the sky with a smile on his face.

"Don't forget, I am still here." Gilgamesh's voice sounded slowly from behind Lin Qiye.

At the same time, a wisp of smoke came out from Lin Qiye's shadow, and a black shadow with a wide hood stood quietly beside Lin Qiye...

After a brief silence, an old figure in a gray cloak slowly walked to Lin Qiye's side.

"If something unexpected happens, I can save the situation." Wang Mian and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, "I understand your feelings... If I were in your position, I would make the same choice."

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and in an instant, the lifeless figures in black cloaks also came to Lin Qiye.

Wang Mian, Wu Laogou, and Lin Qiye are all captains of special teams. They are also the only people on this field who can truly understand Lin Qiye’s feelings.

Zhou Ping, Sun Wukong, Gilgamesh, No. 27, Wang Mian, [The Medium]... At this moment, the backs of the three figures in crimson cloaks were no longer empty.

This is Lin Qiye, the leader of the Night Team, who has accumulated a lot of experience over the past few years.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Qing sighed helplessly... It is no exaggeration to say that if these people really take action, even the Heavenly Court may not be able to stop them by force.

An Qingyu and Jiang Er stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, and a warm feeling rose in their hearts. At this moment, Lin Qiye, who was standing in the front, suddenly spoke:

"Vice Captain An."

An Qingyu was stunned. "Yes."

"go home."

Lin Qiye took a step forward and walked straight towards the Nantianmen, followed closely by Cao Yuan. After hesitating for a moment, An Qingyu gritted his teeth and followed their pace.

As they gradually approached, the gods of Daxia and other human beings blocking the South Gate of Heaven did not know what to do for a moment and looked at each other. The Jade Emperor watched this scene in silence, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Qiye walked towards Zuo Qing who was in the front, reached into his arms and took out a black box.

With his fingertips, he lifted the lid of the box, revealing medals gleaming in the air.

Three personal "Star Sea" medals, three collective "Star Sea" medals, four personal "Star" medals, seven collective "Star" medals, and several "Star Shine" medals, like dazzling diamonds full of supreme glory, were held in Lin Qiye's hands.

From the beginning of the snowstorm Han Shaoyun, to the Cangnan catastrophe, to the battle of Fengdu, to supporting Gusu, the altar of the underworld god, the distant search for Anta County, the destruction of the "human circle", the protection of the new recruits, the killing of Susanoo, the crisis in Shangjing, the defense of the national monument, the search for the Ark of the Covenant, the destruction of Asgard, the battle of Chennan Pass...

Countless past events and glories fell on the stone road in the rain with the turn of Lin Qiye's wrist, like a dazzling road paved with stars.

At the front of this road of merit, the figure wearing a crimson cloak slowly spoke:

"Daxia's Fifth Special Squad [Nightfall]... Please make way!"

This is the road that Night had earned through years of time, countless near-death experiences, blood and fire, and was paved with starlight and glory. It was also the road that Lin Qiye had opened up for Jiang Er...the road home.

A deep voice echoed in front of the silent Nantian Gate. Everyone looked at the iron-like eyes and were moved.

As the last "Star Sea" medal fell, Zuo Qing, who was standing at the front, sighed helplessly and took two steps back.

.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, and he knows very well what this road means to [Night]. Lin Qiye has already made it this far, and if he stops here again, I am afraid he will no longer have a clear conscience.

Zuo Qing's retreat was also a signal to the other ceilings and the Great Xia God. As Lin Qiye and the others approached, they all made way for him.

Until outside the South Gate of Heaven.

During this process, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West did not say a word. They just let them leave in silence.

At this moment, An Qingyu, who was walking at the back, suddenly stopped outside the Nantian Gate.

He turned around, looked at the gods in heaven, and spoke calmly:

“I know what you’re worried about. From the moment I took the initiative to touch the Gate of Truth, I knew that the original seal would be ineffective against me… I think the Heavenly Court should have a way to destroy my soul, right?

After I send her off for the last time, I will return to heaven to die.

I, An Qingyu, am not a traitor. "

After saying the last sentence, An Qingyu stepped onto Lin Qiye’s somersault cloud and disappeared into the horizon with a roar.

Outside the Nantian Gate, many figures fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Zuo Qing finally shook his head bitterly, sighed helplessly, bent down to pick up the medal that had fallen on the ground, wiped the water stains with his cloak, and put it back in his pocket.

Faintly, he could be heard mumbling in the rain:

"These little guys... they walked away in a very cool way, but they still needed me to clean up your mess, really..."

…

On the somersault cloud.

"Have you really thought it through?" Lin Qiye frowned as he looked at An Qingyu while flying the Somersault Cloud.

"Yeah." After coming out of heaven, An Qingyu felt much more relaxed. He nodded and said, "I am the door to truth, and I am also the key to awakening the [Key to the Door]. Only when I die, Daxia will be truly safe.

Besides, haven’t you seen what I look like now?”

An Qingyu touched his gray eyeballs and said, "I... can no longer be considered a human being. Naturally, the seal cannot completely seal me. Instead of this, it is better to keep everything simple."

"Maybe there is another way?" Lin Qiye asked again.

"I don't know...but I don't have time." An Qingyu looked into Lin Qiye's eyes, "Qiye, you will respect my choice, right?"

Lin Qiye opened his mouth and after a long pause, he spoke with a complicated expression:

"I understand. I won't stop you."

Although An Qingyu didn't say it, Lin Qiye knew very well in his heart that this reason might indeed be an important factor in making him make this decision, but it was not all... Another part of the reason was Jiang Er.

If it weren't for Jiang Er, An Qingyu might not have chosen to seal it... He did this to fulfill the promise he made with her, a promise that would take place a long, long time from now.

But now, everything has lost its meaning.

"By the way, what did you see behind the Gate of Truth?"
